JHE PISH CONTEST is stilt going
poorly. Sheriff Prank Mills re-
turned from Corpus Christi with-
out any fish anti from reliable
sources we have learned that he
didn’t even catch a pcrcli. lie is
much better at hunting rabbits or
carrying Jess Smith and Shorty-
Brown riding with a friendly, af-
fectionate waif.
JT WILL SOON BE TIME to Start
a turnip contest, but before doing
so we have to remind, the city com-
mission that we want a park at Lake
Scarborough surrounding the filtra-
tion plant, extending the length and
breadth of the property that lies on
the dam end of the thing. With
plenty of water and lights it could
be Pade a tiring of beauty and a
joy forever and would favorably im-
press delegations and city commis-
sioners in other towns that will
eventually ome hero to get ideas
for improving water supplies.
|T WOULD NOT REQUIRE much
money to'tnake a park there pret-
tier and more popular than the one
maintained by the Lions and Klvan-
is clubs north of the city. The best
way to do, of course. Is t> interest
the ladies and get the work done
free—we mean the planning and
suggesting. Ten dollars Worth of
shrubbery, trees and Bermuda grass
seed would be sufficient.
“Can’t Afford” to
Be Envoy
'J’HEN TO GET to it after it is fin-
* ished wc will suggest that, the
street from the underpass to the
Abilene turn In the highway be
graded and squirted with highway
molasses. In this connection we
suggest that a committee of Ster-
ling supporters be appointed to go
to Austin to figure on a liberal por-
tion of state aid. Thb stretch of
street and the bad place connecting
the south end of Commercial Avenue
with the concrete at the South Side
Drug Store and San Angelo high-
way is ail that remains to be done
to make Coleman an attractive town
to enter or t ) leave. Most of them
are leaving right • now but whon
Hoover prosperity is cjided many
v ill return and others will join the
prrqjrf.t population.
Thought in diplomatic circles to
be the logical successor to Dwight
Morrow as ambassador to Mexico, J.
Reuben Clark, above, Salt Lake City
attorney, removed himself from con-
sidcrati ,n by saying he could not af-
ford the post, which usually entails
numerous social expenses in excess
of his salary,. Clark at present is
assistant to Morrow in Mexico.

To Attend Meet
First steps t sward securing drouth
relief for Texas were taken last
week end bv Governor Dan Moody.
In a telegram received by Secretary
Sim O'Neal of the Chamber of Com-
merce Saturday Governor M ;ody
said:
"Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of ag-
riculture, is sending plan of organi-
sation for drouth relief recommend-
ed by president. Am proceeding
with organization and have named
W. H. Fuqua of Amarillo as banker
member Texas committee. Mr. Fu-
! qua will attend banker member
j meeting in Washington Tuesday.
' lloun oc
Sun O'Neal, secretary of the Cole-
man chamber of commerce, who lias
been appointed by Governor Dan
Moody as a member of tire drouth
relief committee for Texas, called a
number of Coleman and Santa An-
na business men together at the , ■. , , , . .
chamber of commerce offices T..M-!man of lhc f’>tlrral fWm buald'
di
Have asked that your county be ad-
ded to those to which reduced
freight rates allowed on livestock
and feed stuff. Am doing every-
thing possible to secure financial as-
sistance for drouth stricken areas.”
Dan Moody.
Soon after the message was re-
ceived Mr, O'Neal sent the following
message to Alexander Lcggc. ebair-
dmpibcr of commerce offices Tues-;
WE WOULD LIKE mighty well to
suggest to the county commis-
sbnera court that they appoint us
to appoint a committe of one to Im-
prove the api>earoncc of the court
house yard. If they will, some of
the trees will be eliminated and the
gratis given a better chance to grow.
The beautification at the city hnlt is
a sample of our idea of how public
property should be Improved In ap-
pearance. Flowers are kissed by
the sun and blossom to perfume the
atmosphere with a fragrance that
Is pleasing. Tlte flowers and the
green grass in the rear will attract
more attention and favorable com-
ment than all the half dead trees in
the court house yard that take life
that tb y might live.

QEFORE ANOTHER summer Colc-
tnan will lmvc a swimming pool.
Wc make the prediction because
several parties are bccom ng more
and more interested in providing a
proper place for pleasant plunges.
All that is necessary is for ssme
person to take the lead. Nothing
is ever put over w ithout a directing
head. There are men in Coleman
who would gladly aid a laudable pro-
ject of the kind, but they have never
bcePMDproacheU. Oil several dif-
feraH’lccaisslons It has looked as >f
this column’s dream of n swimming
pool would come true, but as soon as
we quit agitating, the bubbles ex-
ploded.

INURING THE RECENT campaign
W a certain politician was asked
whether he wanted to go to heaven
or to hell when he died. “I don't
know” he replied. ”1 have friends
in both places.” We feel very much
the same way about old fences. Wc
have friends who have them and
friends who have eliminated them
and there are some who will not
move them because they are as con-
trary as the railroad man who
said he was going home and that it
jhis wife had a good supper prepared
he wasn’t going to cat a darn bile
and if she didn’t he was going to
whip the devil out of her. But no-
body will be too contrary to aid in
promoting a swimming pool. A
swimming pool would be as popular
as was that barrel of free lemonade
at the recent opening of the new
Plggly Wiggly store and would pay
itself out m two or three years, if
managed by some man with the
ii«gjjn>ps ability of some of the men
recently ran for'office in Cole-
man county Sind Texas,

OUT WE MUST not recall the elec-
tion. It Is over and the tears
shed Saturday night by the losers
did not quench the thirst of the
parched eartli or.bring farm relief.
We will live, if at all, for the next
two years just tire same as we have
for the past half eentury. After
aB R mates vary little difference to
the rank and file who U chosen to
Drouth relief measures for Tex-
as farmers will lie drafted at a
meeting of the state's leading agri-
culturists, bankers mid industrialists
at a meeting in Wichita Falls to-
merrow when a committee of 20 men
will consider various plans to aid
tire stricken areas. The committee
was named Monday by Governor
Dan Moody and will be under the
chairmanship of O. B. Martin, dir-
ector of the experiment stations
form relief for this county and ter-
ritory should take.
Mr. O’Neal will attend the .gath-
ering of the state committee at
Wichita Falls. Friday, when it will
work in co-oueruiion with the Nat-
ional farm board, the American Red
Cross and other relief organizations.
Tentative plans calls for decreased
railroad rates on live stock’and feed
stuffs and'an increase in employ-
ment to care for farmers whose
crons have been destroyed or cut
short by drouth.
Most of the drouth suffering is
centered in the Panhandle plains
and in west Texas.
Counties which have asked relief
Include Dickens. Jones, Cass Calla-
han. Hall. Coleman, Brewster, Chil-
dress. Henderson, Cottle, Motley and
Foard.

It is perhaps the first time in his-
tory that state races overshadowed
local contests. During the closing
days of the campaign hundreds of
speakers spread over the slate
championing the causes of the two
seeking the governor's office -and
nightly rallies were conducted for
one or the other of the candidates
in nearly every, town of importance
in Texas, and organizations for the
candidates were, perfected in every
village and hamlet.
The local races were conducted
on a high plane and the candidates
deserve praise. Late Saturday af-
ternoon Newman and Pearce and
Brusenhan and Brown were seen
breaking bread together in Coulson-,
drug store and the sting of defeat,
apparently,, has not impaired the
friendships.
