There was trickery in David
Jrockett’s day, too. In his autobiog-
\phy, he thus explains his failure
to be re-elected to Congress:
“I should have been elected if it
hadn't beetn that, but a few weeks
before the election, the little four-
pence-ha’-penny limbs of the law fell
on a pain to defeat me. They agreed
to spread out over the district and
make appointments for me to speak
almost everywhere to clear up the
^ Jackson question. They would give
‘ "me no notice of these appointments
and the people would meet in great
crowds to hear what excuse Crock-
ett had for quitting Jackson.
“But instead of Crockett’s bring
there, this small-fry of lawyers
would be there with their saddle-
bags full of newspapers and their
journals of Congress and would get
up and speak and read their scur-
rilous attacks on me and would then
tell the people I was afraid to ap-
pear.”
After losing the race, Crockett
made a speech of farewell to Ten-
nessee, concluding:
“I am done with politics for the
present and you can all go to h—
and I will go to Texas.”

Not theMother Goose version:
Jack and Jill ran up the hill
To fetch a pail of water;
Jack fell down and broke his
crown
And Jill said, “Can’t take it, eh?”

Says the Wood County Democrat,
editorially: “Ralph Yarborough was
born at Chandler, Henderson Coun-
ty, and was reared an East Texan.
After he graduated from the Univer-
aity of Texas School of Law, he be-
gan the practice of his profession in
El Paso and for years lived the life
of a West Texan. More recently, he
served as Assistant Attorney Gener-
al at Austin and later District Judge
in the territory centering around
Austin in Central Texas. East Texan,
West Texan, Central Texan, Judge
Yarborough is one of those rare men
who can truly be called a citizen of
all the State.”
After mentioning that Yarborough
Wit being urged to run for Attorney
Gen real, the Democrat added that
he had made the race in 1938 and
that “he has made many friends; and
, , ihe more people he meets, the more
friends he makes.”

John Masefield, poet laureate of

Ernest Dowson died in squalor in

Incidentally, your columnist is the

A farmer (in Kansas) said to a
friend, “Well, my son John has failed
on the civil service examination.”
“What was his trouble?”
“Well, he was short on spellin’ and

“What is he going to do about it?”
“I dunno. Times is mighty hard

INCOME TAX MAY BE PAID
IN FOUR INSTALLMENTS
Taxes due on a return filed for the
calendar year 1941 may be paid in
full at the time of the filing of the
return on or before March 16, 1942.
The tax may, at the option of the
taxpayer, be paid in four equal in-
stallments instead of in a single pay-
ment, in which case the first install-
ment is to be paid on or before
March 16, the second on or before
June 15, the third on or before Sep
tember 15, and the fourth on or be-
fore December 15, 1942. If the tax-
payer elects to pay his tax in four
installments, each of the four in-
stallments must be equal in amount,
but any installment may be paid, at
the election of the taxpayer, prior to
the time prescribed for its payment.
If an installment is not paid in full
on or before the date fixed for its
payment, the whole amount of the
tax remaining unpaid is required to
be paid upon notice and demand
from the collector.
The tax must be paid to the collec-
tor of internal revenue for the dis-
trict in which the taxpayer’s return
is required to be filed, that is, to the
collector for the district in which is
located the taxpayer’s legal resi-
dence or principal place of business,
or if he has no legal residence or
principal place of business, in the
United States, then to the Collector
of Internal Revenue at Baltimore,
Maryland. *
The tax due, if any, should be paid
in cash at the collector’s office, or by
check or money order payable to
“Collector of Internal Revenue." In
the case of payment in cash, the tax-
payer should in every' instance re-
quire and the collector should fur-
nish a receipt. In the case of pay-
ments made by check or money or-
der, however, the cancelled check or
money order receipt is usually a suf-
ficient receipt.
Now is a mighty good time to re-
new your subscription to Sentinel.

New Students Renter High School
CCHS is very glad to welcome
two new students. Jesse Head and
Roque Luevano. Jesse came to CCHS
from Three Rivers and is a member
of the freshman class.
Roque is from Sidney Lanier High

addition to the sophomore class.
Everyone is also glad that Bobby
Gates has returned to Crystal City
to go to school. Bobby has been in
San Marcos since September.
CCHS hopes the best for all these
boys and wishes that they may stay
here a very long time.

So far, the annual is progressing
nicely. The annual staff has sent in
30 pages, sending in the second sec-
tion of 16 pages on February 7.
There are only 18 more pages to be
sent in by March 2.
What is now needed is dnap-shots.
It is now up to the student to be rep-
resented in the annual by bringing
in his pictures.

Thursday afternoon at 3.00 o’clock
the entire school assembled in the
auditorium to hear an address from
Manoah Leide-Tedesco, one of the
series of speakers for the Rotary
Club.
The end of the address contained a
singularly noteworthy statement.
Mr. Tedesco very emphatically
stressed the point that all human be-
ings are, in reality, striving for free-
dom.This applies to all nations and
races, and at this time is well worth
consideration.

Trophies To Mr. Tate
Forty-one years ago on April 11,
,1901 Robert Clyde Tate w.is born in
San Antonio. Mr. Tate received his
high school education and B. S. de-
gree at San Marcos. He says he
thinks that the San Marcos Teachers’
College is better than moat schools
for teachers since it trains teachers
only. Mr. Tate majored in history
because he liked it better than any
other subject, although he does not
feel that history gives one a broad
enough conception of what is going
on at the present time.
Mr. Tate has since taken graduate
work at the University of Texas. He
lacks half of his thesis on his M. A.
Degree, which he hopes to have fin-
ished by the end of the school terms.
Mr. Tate has toured the states of
Louisiana, Oklahoma, Kansas, and
all of Texas except the western part.
He has taught at Devine, in the
Sub-College of San Marcos Teachers’
College. Eagle Lake, Uvalde and in
Crystal City for the past twelve
years.
Cowboy Crain is his favorite foot-
ball player. Everybody knows that
football is his favorite sport, while
his hobby is sports of all types.
O’Henry is Mr. Ta'te’s short story j
writer. His stories are interesting to [
Mr. Tate because the setting of many |
of them were written while O’Henry
was serving a term in the peniten-1
tiary. Outside of “Annabel Lee’ and j
‘Lenore” he doesn’t like Poe’s j
poetry, but he is crazy about his I
prose.
All of the students think Mr. Tate
is a swell fellow even though he|
makes them march for hours if they
don’t know where to go during fire
drill.
Mrs. S. R. La Grone returned home
to Austin after visiting Mrs. Emma
Payne and Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Bar-
ker.

Thursday Club
Mr. and Mrs. Perry Bowles were
hosts to the Thursday Club at their
home.'Mrs. Julius Meredith won high
for the ladies and Perry Bowels won
high for the men.
Members of the Thursday club and
its substitutes enjoyed a steak fry
at Bowles Dam, Sunday afternoon
at four.

Fungus Disease
A fungus disease which causes
blight of the flowers on camellias,
has been under observation by two
plant pathologists in the University
of California college of agriculture.
No control has been found for the
disease, which causes blossoms to
turn brown and fall from the shrubs.
