♦ HOMES WANTED ♦
♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦*♦♦ ♦ ♦
Last week it was pointed
oiita that an urgent need < if our
community was f"r more cit-
izens, and that wc. were amply
prepared to offer them one of
the best home locations in
Dallas county. New residents
would convert mam unsightly
vacant lots into orderly home
premises, they would make
possible the extension «»f many
advantages, and help to devel-
op the social, cultural and ec-
onomic life of our own. We
are ready to grow and we
need new citizens.
If, however, a hoineseeker
decided upt n our locality he
would find certain difficulties
which might discourage him.
He would, of course, want a
place to live, but the job of
finding a desirable house
which was available might be
too much for his ambition
Not many people will conic
out and huild here until they
have discovered by trial that
they are Roing to like this
place. Rut even if they do de-
cide to build here they will
likely want to be near by
while the house is abuildmg.
Hence the need of new build-
ings which would be available
to des rable tenants. There
are already many houses-
though scarcely entitled to
that name—now occupied,
which should have long since
fallen into the bands of the
wrecker. These old shacks ar0
demoralizing f» the people
who bve in them and to the
town as a whole. They haya
the further effect of making
any t«wn a Mecca for the
wandering tribes of near-ho-
boes who will st"p in any old
shack until the rent is well
j over-due. With a better class
i of houses we would covmand
I a nv<re stable, desirable and
J constructive type of new
i comer. Our character as a
residential center is judged
by the type of houses whic i
predominate. It would be a
fine act of citizenship for lo-
cal capital to be invested in
new buildings in Mesquite.
Many goo I effects would re-
sult, namely, s dewalks would
be built, unsightly old houses
would l>e removed, and the
general attractiveness and
moralp of the community en-
hanced.

Byrne Commercial College Of
Dallas Expanding:
Byrne Commercial College is expanding to better meet
the demand for Famous Byrne Shorthand and Bookkeeping.
We will on September 1st open two more Byrne Colleges,
one in Houston, and one in San Antonio. There are thirtv
thousand in this southwest territory alone who have stud
ied these time and money saving systems. Thc Famous
Byrne Systems have served them so well in achieving suc-
cess that rhey want their relatives and friends to enjoy
their great advantage. We have many imminent business
men and women in Houston and San Antonio, as well as
Dallas who endorse these systems and give much of th"
credit for their success to Byrne training.
The> Byrne Colleges now have the exclusive privilege of
teaching Byrne Shorthand and Bookkeeping in Texas. No
other business College is permitted to teach them. Therefore
they can no longer be had in other commercial schools.

Dallas Woman Find Voting
a Trying Ordeal But She
"Scratched Money's Worth
»
Merle YVestphall, in Dallas News).
When it comes to this busi-
ness of v>ting, women, being
natural bargain hunters, and
adept at getting their money's
worth, can make circles all
around the masculine varietv
of our population. At least, I
saw to it that the money 1
put on my poll tax wasn t
wasted. I scratched my ticket
from start to finish and if I
missed anv of them, it was
because they wen. 'eft off th.
list.
But, no joking, it's a terrible
responsibility. After going
through all the waiting and
jostling and jamming to get
into that booth, one just
naturally feels like they want
to do tiieir duty to the limit
and try, as best they can, to
make up for those who are
not energetic enough or in-
terested enough to get out and
help run the country.
I had (juite a hard tim-
deciding on which one to vote
for, in the first set. Seveial of
the names sounded too Irish
to suit me (in these days t.'
strict prohibition. on«' just
can't be too careful). I finally
scratched Minnf Fisher
though, if she's elected, I
may regret having been re-
sponsible for sending a woman
into such bad company.
The next bunch, grouped for
Governor, didn't sound good
to me, as we have a good
Governor already in suffice,
and I didn't see the need of
voting for him again. I think
his name must have been put
on there by mistake.
Then came the Lieutenant
Governors. 1 voted for two of
those. I think we need two.
You see, I really know a good
deal about that position. 1
once visited our Legislature
while it was sessioning. and
watched the Senate for one
whole afternoon, ft was pre-
sided over by our Lieutenant
Governor, and from the way
those Senators acted, jumping
tip and down, shouting at1 each
other, hopping over desks, all
talking at once ami all saying
nothing, it was mi re than
one man's job to handle them,
and if the Lieutenant Govern
or bad some > ne to help him
it wouldn't be quite s° bad. In
fact, an assistant with a good
piece of lead pipe or a police-
man's billy, on the floor, could
do morg t< keep order than be
ever could hope to do by
shouting from the chair. I
hope enough others saw the
matter in the same light that
I did to insure the election of
two big men to this important,
office.
When it came to the Dis .
trict Judge, I scratched every
one on th" t'cket. We need
them all. I thought if I'd do
that ]>erhaps I could get some
action on my divorce case
which has been pending the
last couple of years.
I was certainly surprised to
see John Davis running for
for the oflice of Represen.
tativp from this State, after
his defeat for the presidency
some years ago. He should
know by this time that the
Democrats are not for him,
else they would have hung
together and elected him
then to the higher position.
I voted for the feminine aspi

and if she can make a dollar
stretch as far in the expendi-
ture of public funds as mos:
of us do in expending our al.
lowances, she could save tlv
county thousands c,f dollar;
each year.
There was only one nanv
for Attorney General. Of
course I scratched that one. as
1 no no other choice. Seems
very foolish to me, however,
to just put up one man, when

there are plenty of men run-

When it camt to the
Sheriff's list. I had no trouble
at all. I voted for the last one
on the list. He was the onli-
ne that I knew nothing about
and I figured he was the best
shot.
I noticed a uame listed un.
der "Criminal District At

shocked. It's bad enough to
have criminals creep into our
public affairs, but to come
right out and vote for one—
well. I just couldn't bring my.
self to do that. I should think
that party would be ashamed
to li*t himself on the ticket

a) i
Outlook Good For
The Cotton Crop
The Mesquiter editor went
out on th,. street Wednesday
afternoon and interviewed
several well known ami well
informed farmers as to the
condition of th,. cotton crop.
Without exception they
stated that the condition was
fine; that -o far no boll worms,
weevils or other pests had ap-
peared ; that there were
enough large bolls on the
stalks now to insure a fair
crop at least as against the
boll weevils, for the large
bolls, some nearly ready to
open, would not be bothered
by the weevils, w hich would
work on the smaller bolls.
The boll worms, they said, i
could do some damage to the
larger bolls, but all said that
they felt reasonably sure of a
.fair crop and that if conditions
continued favorable for an-
other week, they felt that a
fair crop was practically as-
sured.
With a fair crop almost
certain and a big crop a possi-
bility, the outlook at this time
is good, for as is well known,
the corn nnd other feed crops
already made, were good this
year.
As an answer to the charge!

county for expenses incurred
in going beyond the borders
of the state to arrest criminal
wanted in Dallas Countv,
while he was Sheriff. Schuyler
Marshall, fr.. lias a letter from
County Auditor Chas. K.
Gross, stiting that no such
suit was ever filed.
Mr. Marshall said that there
seemed to be a "whispering"
campaign carried on in the
county, and he challenged
! the authors of any charges
to make their statements
openly, declaring his readiness
to answer any charge or com.
plant madc agaimt him.
The Power
Dispatcher
IN THE early daya of electric wrvice
a "weather watcher" w* stationed
atop of the old generating plants to
watch for darkening clouds. Gfewb
meant that hundreds of incandescant
globes suddenly would be switched
on, causing a greater load to be put on
the generators. At the watcher's call
engineers in the powerhouse speeded
up the machinery and additional power
was added to the Hne°.
loday there ie a load dispatcher m
the central dispatcher's office, who,
through the aid o! delicate instm*
ments and constant telephone reports
from all of the power generating sta-
tions on the transmission system, hss
replaced the "weather watcher*
Instruments record any increase or
decrease in demand for power anf*
where along the lines and generators
are speeded up or slowed down accord-
ingly. The load dispatcher controls
power much the same as the bom
dispatcher controls trains.
This is one insight as to tfceepss*

something behind the switch which
