THE GOVERNOR'S RACE
Voters who desire to express
through their ballot, an- intelligent
choice for 'Texas' next governor find
themselves in much the same predica-
ment as did the man who wanted to
view the forest but couldn't see it
for the trees.
There -.are so many candidates in
the fields and so many issues, both
pertinent and foreign to any consid-
eration of Texas' political problems,
that the more one hears and reads,
the mare .confused he is apt to be-

instances, editors have espoused the
cause of one of the announce! guber-
natorial candidates. Most of them,
however, are watching and waiting,
either for some development which
will prove the superiority of a pres-
ent candidate, or for the announce-
ment of some "dark horse" whose
abilities and qualifications will make
him stand above and apart from the
rest of the gubernatorial forest.—
Editorial Digest.
SUCKERS ARE BITING ON MANY
OLD BAITS
Never before has there been so
many "rackets" being worked in the
southwest as at the present time, ac-
cording jto the May 1 Oklahoma
Rirmer^St'ockman. Agents ply the
highways looking for suckers. And
as always, the suckers are biting on
about every kind of scheme that the
fertile brains of the schemers think
up.
One of these schemes is the spec-
tacle racket. Folks will order ,spec-
tacles by mail. Naturally, they don't
fit one time in a hundred. The spec
are sent "back and they
get
others tell them what to do. Per
haps no other is told how to operate
his business so much as the farmer.
With all this to contend with, how-
ever, he should be appreciative. He
admits, and others admit, the success
of the country first begins on the
farm, and it is so. Naturally, then,
the man who operates a dry goods
store, or a grocery store, or any
other line of business, wants and
should want, to see the, farmer suc-
ceed, because whefi that day of suc-
cess arrives for the man who tills the
soil, the merchant will succeed like-
wise.
Therefore, the merchant who car-
ries on his shoulder a business head,
foresees what is in store for the
farmer bv carrying out a diversified
program, and past experience has
proven this is the only salvation for
the farmer, or else he will continue
to "plow in the same old rut."

perhaps some unscrupulous shark in
Chicago probably laughs at them for
even trying to get a refund of their

Another sucker told of the follow-
ing experience:
y One day an agent came to our
house saying he Wanted just one per-
son in our community to take his
correspondence course at the very
special price of $49. I told him I
didn't, have the money,. He said to
pay him $15 and the rest a little at
a time as was convenient. The pos-
tage on the first shipment was to be
80 cents. When it came, there were
collect charges of $35.65. I didn't pay
it and thfe postmaster sent, the books

Roswell—Eight story hotel and

Plains anglers will find the fishing
lakes of this section well stocked this
year, according to a report made yes-
terday by Gordon Dickinson, district
deputy jrame warden.
The season opens Thursday, May 1,
and already scares of fishermen have
pulled their rods and reels from the
attic in preparation for their assault
on the finny tribe.
Wljile West Texas cannot be called
a^ffsherman's paradise, there are
'numerous lakes within a 60-mile
radius of Lubbock where the sea
going animals are plentiful. Lub-
bockites, who hold membership cards
at the Lubbock Country cluo, will
spend much of their time with hook
and line at the club lake. Others
may hie away to Two-Draw lake,
near Post, Justiceburg lake, south of
Post; Wilson lake at Buffalo Springs
southwest of Lubbock in the canyon,
or drive east beyond Crosbyton and
up the draw, north of Silver Falls.
Dickinson has issued a warning to
those who would use artificial bait
without a license.
"Those who are caught violating
this regulation will be fined to th2"
full extent of the law," the game
warden said.—Lubbock Avalanche.

The blame may

ference of many
fundamentals of
the. la^^lillpricis
customer. A willing ^ and smiling
clerk shows satisfaction with his boss
and in that way he boosts the busi-
ness. Politeness, cheerfulness and a
desire to please cost nothing what-
ever but they are mighty forces in
the building good will, and good will
is the foundation stone of any busi-
ness. The. Ausfon^ier who is made to
feel that, his "friendship is just as de-
sirable as his money is pretty apt to
go back regularly. And it is nis good
will that encourages other buyers to
visit the same place he does.
Terry County Herald: We coulo
hardly believe our eyes this week
when we saw a lot of sacks in a lo-
cal lumber yard and were informed
that it was coal, and that each sack
contained 100 pounds. All our grocer-
ies are now sacked, canned or boxed,
and even our nose rags comes one in
a box now. Will our cord wood fin-
ally come in neat corrugated boxes,
or done up in tissue with red strings
tied abound the bundles like our
sticlT'candy now comes?
O'Donnell Index: Another amazing
radio feat was recorded a few days
ago when the entire front page of a
San Francisco newspaper was trans-
mitted on the air of Schenectady, N.
Y., 2,500 miles away.
Transmission was made possible
through sending equipment known as
a facsimile transmitter devised by
Dr. Alexander, the well known pio-
neer in television work, and a re-
cording machine developed by C. J.
Young, son of Owen D. Young of
General Electric.
For record, a roll of paper eight
inches wide was used, the three strips
required being pasted together after,

radio page have Deen printed in sev-
