THE FIRST SIX MONTHS
Business has just turned the
pages of its big ledger past the
first half of the year, and while
more red ink was used on those
pages than one cares to see, its
somewhat unpleasant aspect is
partially overcome by announce-
ments from those in position to
know, that an upturn is now
about due. They say there will
be more black ink used in these
next six months, the last half of
the year.
Secretary of Commerce Roper
is prominent among .those who
make such a prediction. “Econom-
ic skies are delightfully clearing,”
he said recently in a prepared
statement to the press. “Many
wise business leaders are now
taking, and should take, advan-
tage of the summer season to im-
plement their plans and methods
for participation in the inevitable
and now forming forward move-
ment. Large sums are being
public will preclude the possibili-
ty of such protest altogether. Ap-
paiently one of the first issues
to appear in. the very near future
will be a stamp emphasizing the
dangers of fife in “Fire Preven-
tion W^ek,” national observance
of which . will fall this year on
Oct. 9 to 15. Other new stamps
intended to preserve human life
and. natural resources are now
being worked out. When com-
plete this can be referred to^-as
nur series of “sensible stamps,”
since they will serve a double
purpose. -- —_____1

THE CHRONICLE, TEAGUE, TEXAS, JULY 21, 1938.
OUR LIBERAL PENSIONS
The last congress enacted pen-
sion laws for the benefit of dis-
abled veterans, and increasing
pension rates for veterans them-
selves, which are estimated to add
some 13 million dollars a year to
the Nation’s payments on account
of service in past wars.
The annual cost of pensions is
now above 400 million dollars a
year, and as time goes on it is
inevitable that the total will in-
crease, even if this country never
gets into another war. There are
now about 850,000 ex-service men
and about 250,000 widows draw-
ing pensions. The pressure of
spent for factory expansion. Or- “liberalizing” the pension laws
young man WHo invited his
ther for an automobile ride and
suffered an accident in which she
was injured. Her attorney prompt-
ly sued the son for damages and
it developed that the insurance
company, in which the son had a
policy covering personal injury to
others, had to settle. Of course,
it was a frameup, but it "was le-
gitimate in the eyes of that
state. Under this law, that so
many motorists know nothing
about, it doesn’t make any differ-
ence whom you invite into your
car or to whom you extend the
hspitality of a ride, you are run-
ning the risk of a damage suit
in case they may be injured. The
lowliest hobo has a claim if he
happens to be your guest rider,
as has any hitch-hiker you pick
up. Right now, as many motor-
ists are on. vacations in states
whose laws are unknown to them,
is the time to get posted. Ask
yourself, before you start out, if
it pays to take a chance.

VOTERS OF FREESTONE
COUNTY

Oi’,
ders for much new factory and
transportation equipment are be-
ing placed. Bumper crops are in
the offing, and are beginning to
move in some sections, as re-
flected by rising demands on
transportation. Credit is abund-
ant and available.”
No business man anywhere
near Teague is in position to see
in advance the indications for fu-
ture business so well as Roper,
because no one has the means, of
course, of gathering nation-wide
reports. But they are, as a rule,
pretty safe in accepting his .ad-
vice. So from the statement ha
has given out and quoted above,
they wouid deem more or less
warranted in doing all they can
to accelerate the coming of the
fall upturn, which Secretary Ro-
per asserts is now well on the
way.

CIRCUS STRIKES
As far as ahe small boy of
Teague is concerned, all this talk
about strikes and “sit downs”
never amounted to a thing, up to
a few weeks ago. The argument
of interfering with one’s “per-
sonal liberties got! nowhere with
the youth of America. There’s a
different tale to tell and the
young ones are joining their pro-
tests in denouncing strikes, all
because the CIO stepped in to
say whgt the circus should not
do. These protests concerning la-
bor and between unions did not
mean much as long as they were
confined to the industrial world,
but when they enter the circus
arena they are trifling with a
tender part of a boy’s heart. Any
circus, no matter where it is
booked to show, that has to take
orders from unsentimental labor
agitators, get’s the small boy’s
vote. Looking back to boyhood
days and the part the circus
played in those days we are not
so sure but that we would vote
right along with the lad.

SENSIBLE STAMPS
The fact that frequent changes
in the postage stamps of the U.
S. has been profitable during the
past few years, seems to meet
with general approval. You sel-
dom, if ever, hear a Teague tax
payer complaining that it is an
unnecessary waste of money. Now
that it has been decided to make
some of the future issues of ed-
ucational and safety value to the
and increasing the pension pay-
rnents is constant and increasing.
the last week of June this
year there died in. Buffalo the
last surviving widow of n veteran
of the war of 1812; That war
ented 123 years ago, in 1815.
Darius King, who fought in it,
married at the age of 71 a girl
of 19. He lived to be 89, but his
widow drew a pension for 52
years after his death, until she,
too, died at the age of 89.
If future congressmen are as
liberal in the matter of widow’s
pensions as those in the past have
been, we may have widows of
World War veterans drawing
pensions well into the 21st cen-
tury.

CAMP THIEVES
Started probably by interests
anxious to do harm to the fast
growing popularity of trailer
camps becoming more numerous
throughout the country, comes a
story that strikes at the trailer
camp from a moral standpoint. A
report is being circulated about
that small, but well organized
groups of crooks, capable of
quickly and effectively stripping
their fellow campers and then
moving on to other camps,, are
stories reported from several
widely scattered localities. It
seems the main idea of the plan
is to provide professional crooks
with shelter and protection while
they practice their thieving and
then easily and quickly by means
of the car used to pull the trailer
they pull out to other camps. In
so many words the rumor is in-
tended to leave the impression
with the vacationist that if he
decides to buy a trailer he is apt
to be tied in, a little later on,
with a bunch of undesirable
neighbors who are adept in every-
thing from pocket-picking to
holding up a railroad train. The
trailer has too solid a foothold to
be undermined by such weak and
silly rumors and if the subject
ever reaches the betting point
you will find the odds for the
traiierite.
How many Teague women can
remember when they hoped the
first one would be a girl so she
could take care of the balance?
Did you ever atop to think that
maybe the other fellow’s faults
you see so plainly are only re-
flections of your own?
We Select Our Servants
Well, folks, Saturday is just
around the corner. Are you go-
ing to the polls and vote for the
men, and women, that you really
believe to be Capable, honest, free
from graft, and imbued with high
resolve to give you, the people,
an honest dean 'effort. Or are
you going to vote for your choice
because you think he needs a job,
or you know his Aunt Elmiry, or
he’s kin to Grandpa Snazzy. Will
you vote because someone? has
tried to high pressure you? Be
honest with yourself, yo?SY pre-
cinct, your county, and your
state. Exercise your greatest
gift, your right to vote, granted
to you as a free born citizen of
the greatest country under the
sun, and vote as you honestly be-
lieve and let your conscience be
your guide—but vote! * And last
but not least, don’t fall out with
your friends over some candidate
that you may never see again.
Remember'; you have to live
among your friends.
O
Peculiar- Pooch
While in Corsicana Sunday 1
saw a most peculiar dog. He be-
longs to my Niece and she says
he is a very aristocratic dog, in-
deed. His name is Zeppie and
he is what is called a Dachshund,
which is German for Badger
hound, and is pronounced Doks-
hoond. He seemes to be modeled
after a Bologna sausage, and
would be a most admirable as-
sistant for a plumber if you
could teach him to forget things.
He would come in handy to climb
up pipes and retrieve lost
wrenches and things that plumb-
ers leave lying around. He has
a tremendous wheel-base but very
little road clearance as he is
about four inches high and seems
to be at least two feet long. In
spite of his queer makeup he is
real cute. I wish Cicero could
see him.
O
Pictorial Experimentation
I have a hen who has been dis-
playing quite a bit of interest in'
the Ben Webster cartoons, and a
few days ago she laid the biggest
egg I ever saw. I think that 1
will set her on about fifty eggs
and read the Birth of a Nation
to her and see what happens.
O -
Gone With the Wind
Up home the folks have been
reading “Gone With the Wind,”
and as I have quite a number of
sisters and brothers and brothers-
in-law and such impedimenta it
naturally has taken a long time
for the book to get around to us,
but at least my wife and I are
going to delve into this tremen-
dous volume and read of the
scandalous - goings on of Scarlett
and other characters. We are ar-
ranging a schedule so that she
will read in the day time and 1
will read at night and we hope
to finish up just before Christ-
mas.
O
Why Sun Glasses
From Jim Anderson's column,
“Life Begins at 8 a. m.,” in the
Daily Texan: “This yea;- has seen
the innovation of dark glasses
which have a hinge on the side
and run clear back to the ears to
keep out every bit of the light.
For people who want to be in
darkness that may be alright, but
would it not be more natural for
them to stay up all night and
sleep in the daytime to avoid the
sun, and besides they look like
the blinders we used to have on
our mule team.” Well, I agree
with Jim, this is a fad that is
not only unbecoming, but abso-
lutely dangerous, especially if
cheap glasses are used, and a
continuation will have a lasting
bad gffect on the eyes. When
driving against the sun they are
useful^and should be worn, and
possibly when eating grape fruit.
And how about Fred Allen’s sug-
gestion of goggles for baby to
keep mother’s cigarette smoke
out of their eyes.
O
Tlpine Aids
The famoous St. Bernard dogs
who for centuries have restyled
snowbound travelers in the Swiss
Alps, and lead them to the hos-
pitality of the Hospice of St.
Bernard, were reported to have
been banished to a remote monas-
tery in Tibet, as a punishment for
one of the dogs attacking and kil-
ling a traveler. Boak Carter re-
ports that he is in receipt of a
letter from the head of the Hos-
pice stating that the story is
TViende: I take this means of
asking each of you for your sup-
port in my candidacy for County
Superintendent of Schools.
I am a graduate of Baylor
University, have taught school
five years and have been serving
as Assistant County Superintend-
ent for the past nine years.
Being thoroughly familiar with
the duties of this office and with
the problems of . the- various
schools of the ebunty, I feel that
1 can give yoir an efficient and
economic administration. I pledge
my sincere efforts for better
schools if elected.

TO THE VOTERS OF
FREESTONE COUNTY
Realizing that it is impossible
to see every voter personally, 1
take this method ,of soliciting
your support at the coming elec-
tion July 23.
I am an ex-school teacher, serv
ed as justice of the peace four
years, and county commissioner
six years, but am now a small
town merchant and farmer.
I married in Freestone County
and expect to live the rest of my
life in Freestone County, so/you
see I am vitally interested in the
progress and development of
Freestone County.
Believing that this forms a
sufficient background and practi-
cal experience for me to make
you an efficient County Judge,
1 sincerely solicit your vote and
influence.
I have tried to conduct this
campaign on a plane that is
commensurate with the life 1 have
lived among you—and that is
above reproach.
Respectfully,
M. C. Lancaster.

TO THE VOTERS OF COM-
MISSIONER’S PRECT. NO. 2:
1 am taking this opportunity
of thanking the voters of this
.precinct for the splendid vote
given me two years ago, and am
soliciting your support in the
primary election to be held Satur-
day, July 23. I was defeated
two years by only 49 votes.
The rumor that has been cir-
culated that early in the year i
announced I would not be a can-
didate, is without foundation. 1
made no such statement.
Again thanking you for any
consideration you may give me,
and assuring you of my determin-
ation to serve you loyally, I am,
Yours very truly,

Lovely Ladies
- Have you seen the trophies that
our bund won. The prettiest of
all is the picture of the demure
little drum majors. No one who
is not blessed with the visions
of feminine pulchritude which ex-
ists in this favored spot could
believe that beauty exists.
O
E Pluribus I num
In this fast stepping .age, when
traffic and other accidents take
such tremendous toll, nothing is
more important than a thorough
knowledge of first aid. Nothing
taught in Scouting is of more im-
portance. And I hope to see it.
taught in our public schools. If.
and when, it is there is one kittle
instructor that I can thoroughly
recommend. He is J. Ernest’ Ham,
as competent as many a profes-
sional, he holds both the regular
and advanced certificates in First
Aid and Dr. Davidson gave him
98 on his second class test. He
aspires to be a doctor and this
knowledge will be a -splendid
start toward his chosen profes-
sion.
Vote For Withrow
For Commissioner
A man you have tried and
from whom you know what to
expect; no guessing with L. H.
Withrow; a man with experience
and ability, who stands for pro-
gressiveness and economy. The
man who has constructed many
miles of roads, more substantial
bridge structures, and has helped
to bring down your tgxes; one
who is shifting the tax burden to
those who should bear the, mosf
of the load. We have just shifted
$660,000.00 from your homes, and
placed it or recovered more than
this amount from new oH fields.
Next year we expect to get more
-out of oil properties and. give you .
a further reduction.
Now is the time that you need
an experienced and capable man
more than ever. With the big oil
field being developed in Freestorie
county, you need a man who can
cope with and meet the high
powered tax attorneys who rep-
resent these big oil interests,
with values which will run into
millions next year. On July 23
come out and re-elect L. H
Withrow wour CommissioneE^-

Words cannot express how 1
