CITY AND SCHOOL ELECTIONS are less than
th(ee weeks nway. Two aldermen are to be elected
this year for the city, the election to he held Tues-
day, April 2. George McDaniel, who hus served the
city faithfully for two or three terms, recently mov-
ed to HreckenridRe, leaving a vacancy. As his term
is up this year, his place will be filled at the elec-
tion. John Drake is the other councilman whose
term expires. John has made an excellent street
commissioner, and the re t of the council would like
to have him returned for another two years.
THE CITY ha* had > lot of grader trouble
the pa*t two or three year*. Fact of the mat-
ter, we liave been out of a grader severel
months, calling on the county commissioners
every now and then for help with their main-
tablet-*.
For four year* the city ha* endeavored to
buy a grader. Now we have promise of a new
one in April, and if John Drake, atreet com-
missioner, doe*n't get it, he may have to leave
tewa, a* complaint* about the street* are gel-
ting relher consistent.
Another piece of equipment the city hae been

(JOFF BROTHERS, Albany contractors, are
agents for a prefabricated house concern, and an-
nounce this week that they are taking orders for
these houses. They expect to be able to deliver
houses in three weeks following order.
The prefabricated houses are delivered ready to
put up, and can be put together in less than a day.
The units are IKxlti feet, arid two or more units
can be put together to make larger houses.
This type of housing is becoming more and more
popular, and will solve our present housing short-
age. Ooff Brothers will soon have a couple of
model houses put up on their property where the old
Sharp'* Cafe used to be. They say they will not
rent the models, but they are to be used only as
demonstrations of what can be done with the
prefab*. We suspect somebody will try to move in
the houses, unless Ooff Brothers take drastic -top.-.

JUST A REMINDER that Friday is that day
—the final day you can get your income tax
report, with check, in. It is also the last day
you can make your estimation of 1946 income
and make payment for first quarter.
In figuring ours up, we note with a great
amount of satisfaction that the tax this year
is somewhat less than in 1943.

WE DON'T TAKE SIDES in politics usually, hut
in district and state races we sometimes like to help
a local candidate. Uight now Albany is doing its
best to help County Judge William W. Illanton tfet
elected to Congress from the 17th Congre iomil
District. Bill is one of Albany's finest young men,
a deep thinker, an honor graduate from Princeton
University, a member of the state bar, and is in
every way <|tialificd to serve thi district w ith abili-
ty and distinction.
Hill's Shackelford county friends elected him as
county judge twice, and after he returned from the
Army in November, he was appointed county judge
after the resignation of Judge (i. II. King, Hill did
a lot of thinking during the I k month he was in
India and liurma, serving as a staff i rgeant, and
he arrived at some good conclusion that would do
good in Congres>.
This week we nre carrying an article from Sam
Bus-ell of Stephenville, present Congrt -man from
the district, who announces he "ill not be a can-
didate 11 iiyear. Albany people would like to rec
ommend Hill Illanton to the people of the di trie I,
iiiid they are going about doing just that.

The only diamond mine in
North America is in Arkansas.
Your columnist visited the mine,
back in 1925. I hired a service
car and drove over from Nashville,
Ark. The highway passed through
a hugh peach orchard, said to be
the biggest in the world. Folks
said it was divided up into streets
and avenues so it was no trouble
to And any particular worker dur-
ing the picking season a- a record
was kept in the office arid they
knew he would be working on Ullrd
street near Ave M, or something
like that.
The diamond mine is near
Murfreesboro. The field was di-
covered by a farmer in 1! 07. As
the tory was told to me, the farm-
er was recovering from a fever
and was sitting under a tree when
some of the children, who were
plowing, turned up a peculiar
stone, which he noticed. The rock
proved to be a diamond which sold
for $2,500.
On the day of my visit, as we
approached the town, the driver
crossed a railroad track without
looking in either direction. At my
exclamation, he said, "Oh. they
don't have but two train a week,
Monday and Thursday, and thi- i-
Saturduy."

State Health Notes
AUSTIN. — "Immunization is
superior to all other means of
communicable disease control be-
cause immunity becomes part of
oneself and is always there as a
defense against certain diseases."
Thi s is Uie statement of Dr.
Geo. W. Cc*. state health officer,
who adds: "Immunization is the
best and most effective means of
protection against diphtheria, tet-
anus, smallpox, whooping cough
and typhoid fever." According to
Dr. Cox the ages that are best for
immunisation of children are: for
diphtheria and tetanus, !i to 12
months; Schick test, <> months lat-
er, re-immunize if immunity has
not been established; smallpox, ii
to 12 months, re-vaccination at <1
to 12 years; whooping cough, i
to 12 months. Tetanus or lockjaw ,
is not common, however when it
does occur it is usually .fatal. The
tetanus germ gets into cut ,
scratches, abrasions and particu-
larly deep wounds, no that it has
always been an important prob
lem of public health as well as
military medicine.
Other ways to fight disease arc
through good sanitation measures.
The provision of safe water sup-
plies, the pasteurization of milk,
the supervision of food and other!
precautions have in many com- 1
munities reduced typhoid fever to
a minimum. Isolation a n d
quarantine have their place and
are extremely valuable, but none j
of them has the quality of im-
munity, of being a part of one- '
elf, and con-equentl) always
available.

Surrounding the diamond mine
was a solid fence and the gate wa
opened by a man who had a rifle.
Our credential proving at i-far
tory, we were admitted and walk-
ed about the place with a guide.
There were armed men pacing up
and down close to that high board
fence like sentinel.-.. There wa a
•ifter through which the rock,
were run and the diamonds were
orted out. Your observer was
shown 'JO or so and had the privi-

half-carat one.
These were really diamond in
the rough and it would take a
trained eye to see that they were
precious stones just waiting to be
cut and set into ring- and brace
lets.
No accurate figure on the total
output have been published but
the Smithsonian Institute reported
in 1 liH that 10,0(10 diamonds
with a conservative value of
? 150,000 had been taken from the
field.
Texas Bond Buyer*
Are Thrifty at
Well at Patriotic
DALLAS. "Texan* are not
only patriotic, an evidenced by
their record purchases of U. S.
war bonds during the war years,"
Nathan Adams, state chairman of
the advisory committee for Texas,
declared," they are also thrifty.
With the war over, Texans con-
tinue to buy U. S. Savings Bonds
in a satisfying manner with a to-
tal of 117,1,000.000 invested in
Texas during January.
"Availability of U. S. Savings
Bonds with the same rate of in-
terest as war and Victory bonds is
a direct result of demands by
manaicement, employees, and
schools throughout the land," he
continued. "Savings bonds are be-
ing handled on the same basis as
War Bond purchases with payroll
savings plans, banks, schools, and
other iviuing agent . Too much
-Itress cannot be put on the value
of accrued savings through Sav-
ings Bonds investment for both the
individual and the nation. The
individual -hould continue to save
for hi- own -eeurity and for the
security of the financial structure
of his country.
"The best way to safeguard the
country from ruinous inflation is
for individual- to continue to in-
vest in I'. S. Savings Bonds," Mr.
Adams concluded.
National sales of K bonds in
January amounted to $(>10,900,-
000.00, which was HO percent of
the January, 1015, rate, accord-
ing to figures released by the Sav-
ings Bond Division of the U. S.
Treasury. Redemptions for the
month amounted to only 1 per-
cent of all the outstanding K Bond
holdings.
In Terrible Shape
"I tlii a healthful town?" in-
quired the home.-eeker of a na-
tive.
"Yes, certainly," was the reply.
"When I came here I hadn't the
strength to utter a word! I hat
scarcely a hair on my head. I
couldn't walk across the room, and
I had to In lifted from my bed."
"You give me hope!" cried the
home, eeker w ith enthusiasm.
"How long h:ivp you lived here?"
"I wa- born here," replied the
native.
NEW CHEMICAL KILLS
WEEDS IN LAWN
COLUMBUS, O. — American
homeowners now keep their lawns
free of weeds at an average cost
of $1.00 a season as the result of
a new development in 2, 4-D, a
week-killing plant hormone, scien-
tists at the Ohio State Agricultur-
al Experiment Station revealed to-
day.
Developed from an ester of
2, 4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid,
this chemical which has been nam-
ed Weed-No-More, kills most
broad-leaf weeds but is harmless
to common lawn grasses. Instead
of back-breaking digging every
summer the average householder
can now merely spray on this
chemical and enjoy a smooth and
weed-free lawn. Weed-No-More is
manufactured by the Sherwin-Wil-
liams Co., world's largest makers
of paints and insecticides.
The preparation i* particularly
effective against dandelions, chick-
weed, bindweed, poison ivy, plan-
tain, thistle, and many other
weeds, the scientist said. It will
not injure the soil and is harmless
to humans and animals when used
according to directions. It is
odorless and non-staining.
The action of the chemical is
such that weeds literally strangle
themselves to death because 2, 4-D
is a plant hormone which affects
the growth factor of broad-leaf
plants and can be used to destroy
them as well as stimulate them.
