DO YOU KNOW—That it appar-
ently fell to the lot of the -house
of representatives committee on ag-
riculture to handle more of the ma-
jor administration measures than
any other committee during the re-
cent session? Marvin Jones of Am-
arillo, distinguished Texan and the
chairman of the committee, has
pointed out that of the seven ma-
jor house conmjittees the one on
agriculture handled the most mat-
ters of importance to the adminis-
tration.
Which indicates that the admin-
istration recognizes the agricultur-
al front as the most important bat-

EDGAR BONORDEN HAS BIG
TARPON CATCH MOUNTED
Mathis honored a group of old
trail drivers, calling attention to
thope hardy old men who repre-
sent a group which did so much
in the promotion of the oivilizatioh
we enjoy today. Congressman Dick
Kleberg, in the featured address
which also marked his first official
visit in the district since he re-
turned recently from Washington,
declared these '“old timers” are
the men who made our country
possible. He pointed out that in
their work of pushing back the
frontier they encountered hardships
and privations. “Conditions which
in the aggregate we call a depres-
sion they would have regarded as
luxurious.” We well could emu-
late the courage of these men, “go
back to work and stop being cry-
babies.” •
No more cheering word has been
received in this section in months
than the announcement a few days
ago that funds had been alloted
for a number -of PWA projects in
South Texas. It is understood that
funds will be available as soon as
contracts are signed and that work
may be expected to be underway
on various programs soon at Rock-
port, Poth, Aransas Pass, Bee coun-
ty, San Patricio county, South San
Antonio, Refugio, and Woodsboro.
In addition announcement also
has been made that work will be
underway -soon cn an extension to
