Help Them Cleanse the Blood
of Harmful Body Waste
Your kidneys are constantly filtering
■waste matter from the blood stream. But
kidneys sometimes lag fn their work—do
not act as Nature intended—fail to re-
move impurities that, if retained, may
poison the system gnd upset the whole
body machinery.
Symptoms may be nagging backache,
persistent headache, attacks of dizziness,
getting up nights, swelling, puffiness
under the eyes—a feeling of nervous
anxiety and loss of pep and strength.
Other signs of kidney or bladder dis-
order may be burning, scanty or too
frequent urination.
There should be no doubt that prompt
treatment is wiser than neglect. Use

Briggs, near Emory, when totally de-
stroyed by fire last Wednesday. The

the roof was then falling in. They

Fifteen years ago their home, also

clone. At the time of this last mis-
fortune, the family consisted of my
sister, her husband, and their little
12-year-old daughter Winifred. Her
husband’s nephew, Irving Briggs, was
staying with them at the time. In-
cluded among the household losses
were 700 cans of home-canned vege-
tables, fruit and meat, and 30 quilts
and a radio.”

The break came into the open on
inauguration day in January. When
O’Daniel was being introduced, Allred
paid him high compliments. But in
the new Governor’s speech, there was
not a single word of praise or thanks
for Allred and his administration. It
was, to Allred’s friends, a blunt and
unforgivable snub. One of them said:
“Even bitter enemies usually compli-
ment one another on such an occasion.
It was just a slap in the face by
O’Daniel ”
Breach Remains
The course of events since then has
done nothing to heal the breach.
O’D^niel has not listened to Allred’s
friends but rather to his enemies. All-
red was a bitter enemy of the sales
tax, and so was O’Daniel last July, but
this year he used every weapon at his
command in fighting for the sales tax.
Allred was a progressive; O’Daniel
has been a rank conservative. Allred
fought big business on many occa-
sions; O’Daniel has been the best of
friend of big business to occupy the
governor’s chair in years.
Plano
Two negroes, Robert and A. J. Ethe-
ridge, brothers, who were engaged in
picking cotton on the Jenkins farm,
became involved in a fight on Doe
branch Sunday and A. J. was severely
cut and stabbed and lost much blood.
A local physician who attended him
said he was the bloodiest man he had
ever seen. However, it is said he will
recover.
City Marshal Jenkins took the negro
who did the stabbing to the county
jail at McKinney.
The negroes are said to live at Eu-
fala, Okla. Both plead drunkenness
and declare they did not know what
they were doing.—Celina Record.

At the Pettit grocery store Sunday
morning a man who had been work-
ing for Lawrence Newman just south-
east of town and is said to have
worked for Mr. Newman last year,
asked Mrs. Bill Pettit to cash a check
for $14.70, to which the name of Mr.
Newman had been signed. Mr. New-
man pronounced the check a forged
bne and an effort was begun to ap-
prehend the man who cashed it. There
was no definite knowledge as to which,
way he went, but Mrs. Pettit had a
hunch that he had taken the Sherman
bus.
Sherman officers met the bus when
it arrived in Sherman around the
noon hour and took into custody a
man fitting the description given the
officers from Celina.
Ten dollars in cash and a bus ticket
were found on the man and he was
taken to McKinney and lodged in jail
to await his trial or making bond.

live out on Route 1, McKinney, will

Texas is the 35th state to pass this
law and has appropriated $105,000 to
set up 15 districts. Over 60 districts
have already made application for the
work.
Last May each precinct of Collin
County elected a landowner as a
member of the County Soil Conserva-
tion Advisory Committee, as follows:
W. O. Haggard, J. Thos. Robinson,
John Watkins and W. F. Boyd.
The above committee

vention at Stephenville.
The law makes it possible for farm-
ers to co-operate by voting a district,
setting up their own land-use regula-
tions, and then, if they so desire, call
on other agencies for technical assis-
tance. In other words it will help to 1
the EXTENT that the farmers are ,
WILLING to vote regulations on
themselves and then call on education-
al agencies for whatever help these
agencies can give.
To create a district a petition
signed by 50 or more landowners is
necessary and a public hearing in the
presence of a member or several
members of the State Board is neces-
sary.
After the public hearing and BE-
FORE an election is held, meetings
are to be held to acquaint the people
with tile law, and the Board may
order an election.
A two-thirds majority of votes cast
must be favorable to organizing be-
fore a district will be organized. The
idea has been advanced that districts,
once formed, can issue bonds to pur-
chase equipment and hire personnel.
NOTHING IN THE TEXAS LAW
CAN BE SO INTERPRETED.
Two supervisors will be appointed .
by the State Board, and will make ap-
plication to Secretary of State for
charter. After charter is issued three
other supervisors will be elected in
the district. There five supervisors
will be the governing body of the dis-
trict.
Among the duties of the supervisors
is the presentation of ordinances or
land-use regulations to the landownei s
within the district. Enaction of or-
dinances or land-use regulations in-
volves an election supported by a 90
per cent majority vote of landowners
who cast votes. To repeal such or-
dinances, once enacted, requires only
a petition of an individual followed
by a simple majority vote of land-
owners in the subsequent election.
To enforce an ordinance, super-
visors must prove that such land-use
•regulations as may be drawn up are
not being observed on particular
lands, but is interfering with the pre-
vention or control of erosion on other
lands within the district. Experience
in other states has shown that there
is seldom any necessity for the EN-
ACTMENT of ORDINANCES.
After a district has been formed it
cannot be DISCONTINUED for five
years.
Responsibility for initiating and
carrying out a co-ordinated program
of soil and water conservation and
proper use, under the law, is placed
SQUARELY upon the LANDOWNERS
THEMSELVES.

AUSTIN.—One of the strange chap-
ters of Texas political history which
will probably never be written is the
story of how James V. Allred and W.
Lee O’Daniel came to a parting of the
ways.
The story of their relationship began
back in 1936 when O’Daniel, on his
radio program, asked the voters to re-
elect Allred. While this did not swing
the election for Allred, it was a ges-
ture which the scrappy governor ap-
preciated.
Then, in 1938, when O’Daniel an-
nounced his candidacy for the gover-
norship, h© was taken as a joke. When
he introduced hillbilly music into poli-
tics, it was more of a joke. He won’t
get many votes, observers predicted.
At that stage of the game Allred got
into the campaign. He personally
was pledged to vote for Ernest Thomp-
son, but all his friends knew that he
was not enthusiastic over Thompson.
Allred Aaided Lee O’
When O’Daniel came on the scene,
Allred immediately began to put in a
good word for him. He told of his
good character, his business ability
and his freedom from entangling po-
litical alliances.
Immediately O’Daniel’s stock among
veteran politicians bounded upward.
Here was the Governor of Texas put-
ting his stamp of approval on a po-
litical unknown. Allred’s kind words
gave dignity to a campaign that was
setting new highs for clownishness.
Because of Allred’s interest, many
progressive votes which could support
neither Thompson nor McCraw, went
to O’Daniel.
Allred Gave Advice
Almost day by day Allred was m
telephonic communication with O’Dan-
ie, giving him advice on how to reply
to his opponents, on whom to see in
the various communities, on what type
attack should be used.
Allred’s help was of tremendous
value to the political amateur, and his
political wisdom was seen in many of
O’Daniel’s moves.
When O’Daniel was nominated it ap-
peared that Allred would have great
influence in the new administration.
Allred protested against the indorse-
ment of a slate of runoff candidates,
but when O’Daniel overruled him, All-
red got indorsements for Judges Rich-
ard Critz and Harry Graves.
Lee O’ Turned Away
And there the story of the Allred-
O’Daniel relationship comes almost to
an end. Allred was still willing to
give whatever help he could, but no
longer did O’Daniel seem receptive.
He did not ask for advice or assist-
Gnce elected, he seemed self-
