NO. 46
PRESCRIPTIONS ACCURATELY FILLED—SWINT-BURNETT DRUG COMPANY
GOVERNOR NEFF
DENOUNCES THEM
SAYS THE PRINCIPLES ARE
VERY IMPORTANT IN
DEMOCRACY
Corsicana, Texas, March 5 —
Breaking a silence he has main-
tained on political questions for
months, Governor Pat. M. Nett,
speaking here tonight before a
mass meeting on law enforcement,
proclaimed what he deems the
essential principles by which
Democracy of state and nation
should be guided.
Instructions “specific ana
absolute as to principles’ should
be given by the Texas Democracy
to her forty delegates that will
represent this state in t e
national Democratic convention,
the governor declared.
This was his first pronounce-
ment. .
His second was that the party
platform should proclaim m no
uncertain words “the virture,
the validity and the vitalizing
power of state and national pro-
hibition laws,” advocate full
participation of women m govern-
ment and insist on sweeping the
national capitol “clean of every
trace of official dishonesty.
And third, he declared, the party
candidate should fit this platform
“like a glove.”
Tlu* governor declared that
the investigations now in progress
in Congress have made startl-
ing disclosures which tend to
prove that trusted men, high in
the political councils of the na-
tion, have sold for money their
official intergrity and political
influence to those who sought to
procure without proper compensa-
tion the properties of this govern-
m<“ “Those in high office, selected
to be the guardians of our govern-
ment. have, like the Praetorian
guard of ancient days sold their
soul to the highest bidder, he
said- . , _ .
Instructions Important
“It is highly important, the
Governor said in reference to
the national convention delega-
tion “that specific and absolute
instnietiops as to principles be
given by the Texas Democracy
to her forty delegates to the
national convention. They should
be instructed, not only to vote
for, but to fight for these well-
known principles of morals, of
justice and of government which
have ripened in the right essence
of Texas soil, and which during
recent years it has been the pecu-
liar privilege of this virile and
forward looking state to courage-
ously espouse.
“They should be instructed to
vote for and work for the selec-
tion of a Democratic nominee
who honestly and constructively
believes in the virtue, ’ the
validity and the vitalizing power
o? the state and national prohibi-
tion laws; one who seriously,
and courageously believes in the
rigid enforcement of all laws,
both state and national; one who
consistently believes in the full
participation of our womanhood
in the making of our laws and in
the governing of our country; one
who has both the courage and
the honesty to sweep the national
capitol cleanu of every trace of
official dishonesty and political
corruption. N® man whose
does not square with these princi-
pcrsonal ideals and public conduct
pies of honest government honest-
ly administrated should be made
the party standard-bearer.”

BIG SNOW FALLS
OVER THIS SECTION
A splendid snow fell over
this section of the State Wed--
nesday night, it being about
three inohes on a level.
It was one of the best snowB
we have had in a long time.
There was no wind whatever
with it and it did not drift
in the least. All parts of the
ground were of equal depth. It
was what is termed a “wret”
snow, being very heavy and
full of water.
This snow .is just what the
farmers have been wishing for.
It will give a splendid season and
make all new land work good
again.
HUGHES-ELLIS
Homer Lou, the little daughter
ef Mr. and Mrs. Homer Hood
was taken to a Quanah sanita-
rium last Wednesday for an ex-
amination. She had been having
trouble with her ear, and it wa«
thought advisable to have a
Fpocialktt see her. No report of
her condition has reached here
at this date.
'Last Sunday afternoon Rev.
W. S. Crawford united in mar-
riage Mr. Garl Hughes and Mies
Elizabeth Ellis.
Earl is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
T. H. Hughes, and is well and
tavorably known in this city and
section. He is very industrious,
and posseses rare business ability.
Mrs. Hughes is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Ellis, and
has been practically reared here.
She is highly educated and
numbers her friends by her
acquaintances.
These young people are very
popular and the Post joins their
host of friends in wishing for
them years of happiness and suc-
cess.
Washington, March 5.—Four
varities of the soldier bonus bills
were before the House Ways and
Means committee at the conclu-
sion of public hearing today
and are expected to form the
basis of committee action in fram-
ing a measure. In the executive
sessions of the committee at
which the bill will be drafted
will begin tomorrow.
The propositions which receiv-
ed most attention in the hearings
were:
Straight out cash payments in
full of adjusted compensation.
Restriction of a bonus entirely
to paid up insurance policies.
A two option measure provid-
ing for full cash payments of in-
surance policies.
The four option McKenzie bill,
similar to that vetoed by Presi-
dent Harding, providing for
cash payments to those not en-
titled to more that $50 adjusted
service certificates, a form of
deferred payment: vocational
training and farm or home aid.
Other propositions were also
advanced, including one of Rep-
resentative Hayden, Democrat,
Arizona, to include in the Mc-
Kenzie measure a fifth option
providing for land settlements.
The first four, however, gained
most support.
Members of the committee
frankly stated tonight that no
definite plans had been agreed

Several dayts ago state in-
spector S. E. Clark, of the
Department of Education, was
here inspecting the rural schools
of this county with respect to
the amount that should be given
from the state department this
year. It seems to us that a very
liberal allowance was given those
that were actually in need. Fol-
lowing are the schools that re-
ceived aid and the amount given
each:
Green Valley, $100.00; Delwin,
$350.00; University, $371.00;
Chalk. $500.44; Hackberry, $300.-
00: Moon, $310.00; Tennessee
Valley, $500.00; Broadmore.
$500.00: Dunlap, $266.00.
Some of the schools of the j
county did not receive aid for \
the reason that they had more
money last year than they were
able to use.
With the aid received from the
state most of these schools will

BAPTIST CHURCH
SOME CHICKEN SALE
One day last week Mrs. F. L.
Briggs of this city sold twenty-
four Rhode Island Red hens for
a sum of $23.75. We daresay
this is the most money ever
realised out of the same amount
of hens in this county.
At such prices people can well
afford to raise poultry. It will
keep the “wolf from the door”
when the “yellow” wind blows
across the country and always
insures * living «t home.

through this week. Miss Leona
Lavender. State Elementary Sun-
day School Worker, will be the
speaker and instructor. She will
speak both morning and night
at the services and will teach a
class each afternoon at 4 o’clock
discussing the Cradle Roll begin-
ners, Primary and Junior De-
partments. She will also give an
address each evening at the
church for all at 7:30.
Also Sunday with the help of
ears and our own people we pro-
pose to take a religious census of
the town and adjoining country.
If you are not one of the workers,
please stay at home Sunday after-
noon till visited. We need the in-
formation badly.
