filled the new city lake and has es-
tablished a reputation that another
effort would smash.

Congressman Thomas L. Blantop
has our thanks for a 1924 Agricultural
Year Book we’ll make use of when a
farm k acquired. Tom has sweetened
up so much lately that there remains
only one withstanding objection—a
suggestion has about the same tfffect
upon him as water does on a duck’s
back. Less than two months ago this
column suggested that he forward that
salary increase he got and didn’t want.
With it the farm might be acquired
and the book of agriculture would be
beneficial.
In Texas railroads are complaining
of jitney interference. In Chicago
railroads are complaining because they
are unable to accommodate ti e vast
multitudes that want to ride the
trains away from the excessive heat
during the week-ends. It will be eas-
ier to move the petfyle to the south
than the railroads.
Mrs. Edith Welman, woman law-
yer of Dallas, has announced as a can-
didate for governor next year and
recommends herself to the voters very
highly. Mrs. Williams was a member
of the 38th. Legislature but was de-
feated for re-election.
"The Bastrop County annual fair is
called off this year on account of the
drouth. The day will come when
Texas counties will not depend entire-
ly upon rainfall for prosperity. Oodles
of irrigated products will be available
for agricultural exhibits and iri good
years farmers will store feed for live
stock in lean years.
The road work in Coleman County
is progressing satisfactorily. Gravel
on the Burkett highway all the way
ami it is being applied to the Valera
highway. Soon it will be scattered
and the asphalt applied. Then folks
can enjoy joy-riding. The city will
no doubt find a way to connect the
two highways through the limits of
the town.
R. Q. Lee, president of the West
Texas Chamber of Commerce, says
the future of West Texas is very
bright. And he might have added that
the present is not so terribly dark and
gloomy. West Texas is the center of
the state’s prosperity this year.
A wet Winter with some snow will
insure West Texas another good year
in 1926, and a boom in 1927. A small
grain, crop followed by more cotton
on fewer acres will spread Coleman all
over town. The cotton yield this year
will be better than predicted or ex-
pected or estimated. The farmers
will go into next planting, season well
able financially to meet 'all require-
ments.
Get your school books, pencils and
tablets ready for school opening Mon-
day morning. The season of fun and
frolic has ended. The period for
study has arrived. Every freckled-
faced boy that arrived at the age of
seven prior to September 1st. has a
position for nine months. Also the
girls.
Soon Coleman will have two large
lakes abundantly stocked with fish,
if somebody will see to it that the
fish are got. Tourists, campers and
visitors always investigate fishing
facilities when planning their vaca-
tion. If the fish don’t bite more than
eight hours a day they get dissatisfied
and go' to another, water hole.
A Methodist Church notice on the
front page of the Democrat-Voice last
week announcing an approaching ba-
zaar had Mrs. T. J. White's name ap-
pended. It should have been Mrs.
Ti J. Wilhoit. It was the typewriter’s
fault It’s mechanically perfect but
a very poor speller.
West Texas Fair Will
Open Gates at Abilene
Monday, Sept. 21st
Abilene, Texas, Sept. 10.—Speed
contests unrivalled in the annals of
West Texas history; football clash-
es with the zest of battle of the old.
Roman arena; spectacular hippodrome
circus acts before the grapdstand
throughout the six-day period of thd
Fttir; magic fireworks displays and a
“Joy Zone" of choice features; and
finally a spell-binding historical pa-
geant, “The Vanishing Frontier."
Such is the story in brief of the best
line-up of entertainment ever offered
a West Texas holiday crowd. This is
the program that will be turned
loose when the West Texas Fair gates
swing open here September 21.
As to the automobile races, which
draw annually huge crowds of spec-
tators, this year’s events will mark a
high point, as did the July Fourth
races. With increased grandstand
capacity, the “dustless” track, one of
the finest in the Southwest, for which
Abilene is famous, and with the na-
tionally known racers who have sigiy-
fied their intention of competing in
the two-day events, the races of Wed-
nesday, September 23, and Friday,
September 25, give promise of the big-
gest thrills offered in the entire state
during Fair season. Names to con-
jure with will feature the races pro-
gram of the West Texas Fair: Red
Shafer, West Texas’ racing idol, and
national figure, will meet Ralph De-
Palma, that speed.wizard; and Frank
Lockhart, the boy wonder who bids
fair to challenge all records. And
that's only a part of the story of the
famous racers scheduled for Fair
dates. -

Dave Shade is a boxer, but also he
is a golfer. Golf once was consid-
ered a game for old men. Now
baseball players, boxers, swimmers
and other sportsmen play it. There
are but few cities of any size that
do not boast of from three to four
golf courses.
Ma Ferguson May
Or May Not Offer
For Re-Election
and stackers, to keep enough bricks
before Johnson to keep him busy. He
laid 25 tons of brick, 6,250 an hour, or
104 a minute. Johnson didn’t know a
check was being kept on hie day’s
work.
Ma Ferguson deserves a second
term and will be in t e race for Gov-
ernor if her administration is attack-
ed by opponents, James E. Ferguson,
former Governor, said while in Dal-
las early this week. He declared the
Governor is too busy attending to
business of the people to worry about
politics now. He announced there
would be no special session of the
Legislature to take action on the
drouth situation.
Discussing the possibility of Ma
being in race for re-election, Fergu-
son said:
“Mrs. Ferguson is entitled to a sec-
ond term. It may be that we will
finish our work by the end of the pres-
ent term. But if there is any amoqnt
of opposition to her and signs of at-
tack on her administration she will be
a Candidate for re-election.
“We are too busy at Austin at-1
tending to the people’s business to j
pay much attention to politics. There |
is a time for all things, and an off I
political year is not the time to both-
er much about politics. There’s a
lot of difference between running]
strong when there is no election and
making a good raee when the people
are going to vote on you.”
The ex-Governor is expecting at-
tacks on Mrs. Ferguson's adminis-
tration because of the large number of
pardons granted. He admitted that
much Monday.
‘I hear a lot of talk about the par-
dons the Governor has granted, but if
those who criticise the liberal pardon
policy of my wife will investigate each
case they will find no real grounds
for criticism.”
