hould be pr^dht bn next Tues-
vo reasons, one that important
comes up for action and the
r is that you get another one of
good church dinners.
Farmers are now gathering their
crop in this section and it is
,«— that the quality and quantity is
as good as has been known for many
yaars—but the price is disappoint-
ingly low to those having a surplus
for sale. Thirty cents and less per
bushel has been the prevailing price
past few days.
tt looks good to see people from
ohs of the county in Clifton
their buying of necessities,
people are seen here of late
viding for the prohibition of liquor, a
special session of the Legislature
will be necessary,” Gov. James V. All-
red said Monday.
The repeal amendment will become
effective after the State Canvassing
Board, composed of the Governor, the
Attorney General and the Secretary
of- State, declare the result, fifteen
days after the day of election, which
will be Sept. 9, Attorney General
William McCraw told the Governor.
Until then, the Dean law, providing
penalties of from one to five years
for violations of the liquor laws, will
be in effect.
The belief Monday was that Allred
would not call the session until at
least Oct. 1.
After a conference between Allred
and a number of Legislators, pros-
pective liquor dealers were warned
against starting business before ac-
tion is taken by the special session.
One of those present at the meeting
said those that jump the gun may be
refused permits and added that the
repeal amendment gave the Legisla-
ture strong powers to prescribe the
qualifications of dealers.
After the repeal amendment be-
comes effective, counties which had
voted dry before the adoption of the
constitutional amendment in 1919 will
remain dry and must hold local op-
tion elections under a law to be
passed by the Legislature.
Couties which had voted wet before
the effective date of the prohibition
amendment will continue wet and it
will not be necessary for them to hold
local option elections.
McCraw ruled that wet counties
will be wet without any regulations,
restraints or legal inhibitions from
the time the result of the election is
announced officially until the Legis-
lature makes some regulation under
new law.
“Under present conditions, ruling
on wet matters in wet territories
would be like taking a postman on
vacation,” McCraw said.
Apparently it would be left up to
local peace officers to enforce what
law they think was right until the
Legislature solves the problem. All-
red said he was not certain when the
Legislature would be called.
Austin, Texas, Aug. 2
for repeal times no one can be blamed for econ-
omizing. In fact, thrift is commend-
able. The reckless spending of the
speculative era is no longer possible
for most of us. Nevertheless, there
are limits even to one’s thrift. Com-
modities must be purchased and
money must be circulated if business
is to improve. Consequently, the pres-
ent tendency to hold the purse strings
less tightly is a hopeful economic
sign. Unfortunately, however, an en-
tirely unwarranted caution is being
exercised by many where expendi-
tures involve medical services, stated
Dr. John W. Brown, State Health Of-
ficer.
Even in the days when money was
plentiful, there were numerous per-
sons who were disinclined to incur
doctors’ bills. No one can deny that
such an attitude is false economy.
While it is true that the medical
and surgical sciences never have been
so highly developed as they are to-
day, they only will be of minimum
value to those who, because of an il-
logical sense of value, refuse to seek
medical advice promptly and thus sub-
stitute their own ideas of treatment
for a self-diagnosed condition.
Splendid, comprehensive and effici-
ent as public health services may be
in the mass control of disease, there
yet remains the individual obligation
to supplement or complement these
activities by the adoption of sane liv-
ing principles, and a full realization
of the value of prompt medical at-
tention when one becomes ill.

Washington, Aug. 26.—Polite Sen-
ator James Hamilton Lewis (Dem.)
Illinois, whose colleagues are always
able or distinguished, submitted a
poser Monday night to Senator Huey
Long.
The filibusterng Louisianan said he
was "just preventing the Senate from
going home,” adding: “I don’t want
to go home. I haven’t any place to
go.”
Lewis arose quietly and, in his
suave manner, inquired:
“Would the able Senator from
Louisiana like to have some of the
Senators tell him where they would
like to have him go?”
Long’s reply, if he made any, was
drowned by laughter.
BAPTIST CHURCH
“Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God.” Are you giv-
ing all your attention to the outer,
fleshly man, and letting the inner,
eternal spark from God starve to
death for the lack of eternal truth?
What folly to neglect the eternal in
trying only to pacify the fleshly lusts
of man, selling your soul for a mess
of pottage! Every church invites you
to feed your eternal soul. A hearty
welcome is extended to you at the
Baptist Church.

ST. JOHN’S EVANGELICAL
CHURCH NEAR CAYOTE
The sudden death of Mrs. Tom Con-
nolly which occurred in the Senator’s
office in the Capitol building in Wash-
ington Monday evening, brought sor-
row to the thousads of friends all
over the nation and Texas in partic-
ular. The Senator’s friends every-
where are grieved and the deepest
sympathy is extended to him in what
seems the greatest sorrow that could
befall him.
The old age and the prohibition
amendments voted on last Saturday
were the ones to take up most inter-
|of the entire seven; and they both
carried, the first named by more than
four to one, and tfce repeal amend-
ment by more than 55,000, ending
prohibition in the state. Governor All-
red said Wednesday he believed a
special session of the legislature
would be convened September 16 to
pass a liquor regulation and tax law
to provide for old age pensions. The
governor said he expected to an-
nounce the date definitely within a
few days.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Aug. 26.—A
93,000 vial of radium, accidentally
thrown away, was back at Moe Hos-
pital Monday after an uncannily pre-
cise search by two University of Min-
nesota scientists who traced it to the
stomach of a squealing shoat.
When the loss of the tube was dis-
covered Dr. A. J. Moe called in Dr.
W. Buchta and Dr. W. H. Barber
the university. They devised a de-
tector from gold leaf and started for
the dump grounds.
For an hour the scientists quartered
the grounds while 500 pigs wandered
over the heaped refuse. Then their
gauge jumped and they shooed near-
by pigs away to dig. But the gauge
returned to normal when the hogs
moved off.
This meant the radium was inside
one of the animals, now lost among
the other 500. So the searchers divid-
ed the drove into five sections and by
elimination reduced to three and fin-
ally to one as the probable culprit.
They called a butcher who opened
the animal. The tube, measuring one-
sixteenth of an inch in diameter and
three-fourths inch in length, was in
its stomach.
