With early gardens and fruit
throughout this section in good
condition there will be an abund-
ance of food for home canning this
year, according to many farmers
and gardeners in this vicinity.
Home demonstration club news
indicates that everyone throughout
the county is progressing well with
gardens that are filled with a va-
riety of the best eats it is possible
to raise in this part of the country,
and that includes practically every
household necessity.
Gardening is becoming more pop-
ular every year, and is a hobby
among many of the town people.
Most town gardeners, however, will
depend on others to preserve their
winter supply of vegetables and of
fruit, although there arc many who
fill their pantries with home-grown
and preserved food. Pronounced
for the years the ideal method of
making the farm a paying institu-
tion, farm folks, through the last
few years, have learned the value
of home canning and this year will
carry out this program to a greater
extent than ever.
Gardens look greener, with rows
of beans, tomatoes in evenly spaced
hill, cabbages, beds of mustard and
rows of spinach, trees laden with
bloom and small fruit, and with lit-

Austin, Texas, May 24.—The Tex-
as Bond Commission Tuesday, in
compliance with the formal re-
quests of the Relief Commission,
ordered the sale June 2 of $3,750,-
000 of Texas relief bonds, repre-
senting the balance of $10,000,000 as
authorized by the legislature.
The notice provides for delivery
to the highest bidder at the office
of the state treasurer at Austin.
The Relief Commission estimates
that the proceeds of the last bond
sale will not last longer than Sep-
tember or October. All the remain-
ing $3,750,000 has been signed and
is in the vaults of the treasurer,
needing only the Comptroller's reg-
istration to make them negotiable.
They bear 4 1-2 per cent interest.
In providing for delivery at the
treasury the Bond Commission
eliminated the possible recurrence
of a controversy which arose in the
March 17 sale of $4,000,000 in bonds
when one high bid was for deliv-
ery in New York and the other in
Dallas, and the commission accept-
ed the latter. A higher premium
was offered in the New York deliv-
iery but the expense of transport-
ing and delivering amounted to
more than the difference.
period of years. Those desiring to
borrow on such liberal terms, if
given the opportunity, would spend
an average of $505.72 on improve-
ments. For all of Texas this would
amount to an expenditure of about
58 million dollars in repairs and in
new construction.
If all Texas farm homes were to
be brought up to the minimum
standard of housing at least one
quarter billion dollars would be re-
quired, Mrs. Claytor estimates.
Minimum standards of farm hous-
ing are said to be based on the as-
sumption that the house has reas-
onably good roof, foundation, win-
dows, exterior walls and floors. In
addition there should be an ade-
quate supply of pure water piped
into the house for kitchen and the
Jasper’s unique election resulted
in an unanimous verdict when Mr.
and Mrs. Lewis Dunn, the only el-
igible voters in the affair, voted to
assume their share of the Jasper
Independent School District, states
the Jasper News-Boy. The election
was an assumption vote, necessary
to be held for qualified voters re-
siding in territory which has been
added to the school district. The
territory was added at the request
of Mr. and Mrs. Dunn. However, in
issuing refunding bonds recently
contracted for purchase by the
State Board of Education, it be-
came necessary, in the opinion of
Attorney James V. Allred that an
assumption election be held among
the property owners in the terri-
tory annexed since the original
bonds were issued. The election
was held after posting notices as
required by law, and the two votes
were recorded in the same manner
as if hundreds of thousands of per-
sons had cast ballots. The court
house was the scene of the voting
spree.

Every county official and
the chairmen of the precincts
of Grayson county have given
Judge Ben L. Jones of Dallas,
chief justice of the court of
civil appeals, fifth judicial
district of Texas, unqualified
endorsement in his candidacy
for re-election. In addition to
these citizens of Collinsville,
Judge Jones’ old home, have,
with practical unanimity, add-
ed their endorsement to his
candidacy.
The bars of Grayson, Col-
lin, Henderson and Van
Zandt counties have joined in
paying tribute to the fairness,
legal vision and soundness
demonstrated by Judge Jones
in opinions rendered by him
as well as the high quality of
manhood which his life as a
citizen has given abundant
evidence of.
During the 12 years of his
incumbency Judge Jones has
heard thousands of cases in-
volving many and varied in-
terests. His decisions have
been uniformly lucid and
clear in the interpretation of
the law and the application of
principles long recognized as
fundamental in our system of
jurisprudence. The fact that
so few of his opinions have
been challenged and fewer
still reversed in higher courts
is the most potent and cogent
argument in favor of his re-
tention in the place which he
has filled for so long a time
and with so much and such
conspicuous legal ability.
The feeling of the people in
his home county toward Judge
Jones is reflected in the en-
dorsements which have been
given him by attorneys and
