Rep. Race Attract-
ing Much Attention
The Representative race in this
77th District is now attracting con-
siderable attention. There are six
candidates; however, attention
seems to be centered on two—Ver-
non Standifer and Joe Caldwell.
J. F. Harris of this county‘has
been working quietly and may sur-
prise some in the number of votes
he gets. He has served the district
as representative before and knows
lot of the ins and outs, and has
some definite and fixed ideas of
what the district needs.
Jordan T. Lawler of Medina coun-
ty was making the rounds this week.
He claims to be the only candidate
with a written platform and calls
himself the people’s candidate and
pledges himself to work and vote for
the repeal of racetrack gambling and
other racket commissions. Mr. Law-
ler was a candidate for this office
two years ago, but made no exten-
sive campaign.
James L. Wohlford of Dimmit
county has done most of his cam-
paigning by correspondence. He
says he is as dry as a powder house
and all his opponents are as wet as
the Pacific.
It has not been our pleasure to
know Mr. Gregory of Dimmit coun-
ty, the other candidatte.
You will find on page 2 of this
issue of the Sentinel an endorsement
for Mr. Standifer from his Uvalde
friends. Among the list of endorsers
you will find men of every walk of
life, including Andrew Smyth who
headed a company of volunteers
from this section in the World War.
On page 4 you will find an endorse-
ment for Mr. Caldwell from his Za-
vala county friends. Mr. Lawler also
makes some statements in this issue
as to his fitness for this office.
There was a rer
week that Mr.

Long Drouth
Broken This Week
9
The long drouth was broken Sun-
day night when about half an Inch
of rain fell at Crystal City and heav-
ier rains in other parts of the coun-
ty and section. In the eastern part
of the county two inches of rain fell,
filling the water tanks and putting
a good season in the ground.
Wednesday night rain fell practi-
cally all night, the precipitation be-
ing given at 1.35 inches at the Ex-
periment Station and as high as 3.7
inches at private gauges in town.
Anyway there is now a good season
in the ground and everyone is feel-
ing fine and greatly encouraged.
Most of the poorer cattle have
been sold to the Government and the
rains will start the grass and weeds
and the cattle left on the ranches
should do better. The rains have
been worth a great deal to this sec-
tion.

TAKING IIIS FIRST VACATION
G. W. McMillian and son, George,
left today (Thursday) for Ruston,
La., where Mrs. McMillian has
been visiting for some time. Mr.
McMillian said it looks like Mrs.
McMillian was not going to come
back home voluntarily so he was
going to equip himself with extra-
dition papers and go after her. In-
cidentally he will visit hfis old home
at Prescott, Arkansas which he left
16 years ago.
Mr. McMillian said he had heard
people talk about a vacation all his
life, but he is going to get his first
one right now. Says he doesn't
know how a vacationist is supposed
to behave, but he is going to try
and stay out of" jail.

The cotton crop will be exceeding-
ly short in Zavala County thi3 year.
However, all growers must have a
certificate before the cotton can be
ginned, or at least before it can be
sold. County Agent Fred LeCrone
started taking applications Monday
and urges all to get these certificates
at once.
Due to considerable extra work in
my office caused by applications for
various forms of loans, etc., I have
not been able to call on many voters
in the county in person to ask your
support Saturday, 28th for Assessor-
Collector. Please accept this stat-
ment as a personal letter and allow
me’to thank the good people of the
county for all courtesies and kind-
nesses shown me.
If you elect me I wil continue to
save taxpayers in every way I can.
For example:
I saved the county and schools
as follows since October, 1933 to the
present:
Our Choice May
Not Win Saturday
Saturday we go to the polls and
vote our choice for State, district,
county and precinct officers. At
Crystal City there will be approx-
imately 80 names on the ballot and
every one of the 80 candidates will,
no doubt, get some votes. They can’t
all be elected for we need only 30 of
these to fill the offices. Some of us
are going to lose our votes. Our
choice may not win. But that need
not keep us from voting our convic-
tion. And we should do that.
There are seven candidates .for
Governor. We need only one. I have
my choice and there will be five or
six thousand voters In Texas who
will differ with me. Can I be sure
I am right? Take the Senatorial
race with three candidates. One has
held the office a long time and there,
are those in this county who want to
return him for another term. There
are others who might not see it that
way. Two voters in the same
family may not be agreed on a can-
didate. And we all want it that way.
We want to be free.
In the county there are some of
the best men we have seeking the
same offices. Some of us would like
to vote fur every one of the'm, but
since we have only one choice we
must shut our eyes, so to speak, and
do an unpleasant job of scratching
a friend’s name. Because they do not
want to do this, we have heard some
say they will not vote. But we
should vote. No ftvo people are alike.
We may like them equally well, but
one is a little better suited or quali-
fied for some particular office than
the other. Then experience or cir-
cumstances might make a difference.
But if we satisfy ourselves by voting
the way we think best for the coun-
ty, we should be satisfied whether
our pick wins or not.

^ Charles F. C. Ladd, president of
the Texas Association of Real Estate
Boards and president of the Insti-
tute of Farm Land Brokers and
Managers, told hundreds of realty
men at the recent national conven-
tion in Minneapolis that Texas and
Oklahoma had a definite back to the
form movement last year and that it
still is under way. Too, he said, that
real estate is regaining its fair value
in the Southwest, which he de-
scribed as the land offering the great
opportunities in development. Mr.
Ladd said this:
Time is not sufficient for my text.
There is so much that can be said
about the great Southwest—the land
of peace and plenty—the nation’s
sun porch—the frontier of progress)
where vast undeveloped resource*
are attracting new wealth, new pop-
ulation.
The outlook for real estate in th*
Southwestern States a most einour
the greatest and most fertile fields
for future growth and development.
The deep rich soil produces won-
derfully abundant cultivated crops,
a great store of raw materials for
manufacture, and down underneath
lies seemingly inexhaustible supplies
of minerals, oil and gas.
Here is found an abundance of wa-
ter for irrigation—an equitable cli-
mate—long growing seasons—favor-
able conditions for the production of
out-of-season specialized crops—an
abundance of cheap labor—low cost!
fuel—water poweu. Here is a section
with ample transportation facilities,
supplied by some of the nation’s
greatest railway systems—a network
of hard surfaced roads—swift air
lines. Here are some of the country’s
busiest sea ports with products of
the Southwest moving to all parts of
the world. Here are internationally
famous pleasure resorts and happy
hunting grounds.
The Southwestern States are the
gateway—in the front yard, so to

Total saved .............. $1084.41
This saving was made by defer-
ring compiling Delinquent Tax Roll
during the Moratorium. Had the
compilation been made, I would
have been paid 5 per cent more for
collecting which would have
amounted to above sum.
I feel the people are entitled to the
saving under the present stressing
conditions.
Respectfully your servant,

NORTHCUTT FAMILY HAS
SERIOUS ACTO ACCIDENT
B ,T. .Northcutt received a tele-
gram last Friday morning that his
brother, Ike Northcutt, had just been
killed in an automobile accident near
Sweetwater, Texas, but gave no de-
tails. He and family were enroute to
Waco to attend a Church of Naza-
rene encampment.
E W. Northcutt and family left
early Friday morning for Waco and
B. T. Northcutt and family expected

lores Northcutt, were killed and
four other members of his family in-
jured seriously when his car side-
swiped a truck and trailer on a
bridge on Highway 1, 11 miles east
of here, today.
“Mrs. G- Wesley Northcutt, moth-
er of the child; her mother-in-law,
Mrs. Ike Northcutt, and her two
daughters, Ruby Faye, 13, and Eula
May, 17, were hurt critically and at-
tending physicians at Trent and Abi-
lene. where they Were taken, had
littlg hope for their recovery.
The accident occurred when
Northcutt evidently was blinded by
the sun and did not see the truck
and trailer on the bridge. Sam Bel-
lew of Crosbyton, driver of the
truck, declared he could not turn
out to avoid the car, as he already
was on the bridge. ”
