State Department. Works
For Peace at Martinique
Martinique is a small island owned
by France not far from the United
States. On that island are some 100
war planes which were sold to France
by the United States but which nev-
er reached France. England does not
want those planes to get to Germany
through German controlled France,
and threatens to attack this island
to destroy or capture the planes. The
U. S. State Department is working
day and night in an effort to prevent
any such warfare in American wat-
ers.
Odds and Ends From
Around the World
Forest fires are breaking out over
portions of the U. S. Experts say
the dryness is extremely bad for so
early in the summer. . . Living costs
in America have advanced one per
cent since spring. . . There is talk
that what is left of the League of
Nations may take up headquarters in
the United States; likely at Prince

Hudson. . . Extreme heat is being
felt in many portions of the country

Trade Drops
*U.S. and Canada
A few weeks ago the United States
stopped the free flow of persons com-
ing from Canada to the United States.
Now such persons must enter on t
visa. The result has been a large de-
crease in tourist travel between the
two nations, and it is estimated that

Declaring “The United States and
its people are lovers of peace,” and
“we want no part in any European
war,” Senator Tom Connally of Texas,
in a radio broadcast by electric tran-
scription from Washington, Tuesday
night, July 23, asserted: “The most
imperative duty of the American peo-
ple and of their servants in Congress
is to adequately arm and prepare our
nation in self-defense that our
curity may be secured.
We have treasure that may well
attract the ambition and the greed
and the avarice of military masters
and conquerors, who may seek to
dominate the world,” Senator Con-
nally stressed, adding: “We are de-
termined that none of them dominates
the United States of America.”
"Our security requires defense
within as well as without,” Senator
Connally continued, saying: “All un-
American activities must be stamped
out. The fifth column must go.”
Explaining inability to return to
Texas this summer as has been his
custom, Senator Connally said:
“My post of duty is in Washing-
ton. Congress is in session. The most
important and vital concerns of the
American people are being consid-1
ered. I think Congress should re-
main on duty. I shall remain on duty.
I shall remain on duty as long as the
emergency requires.”

—Candidate for State Senator—
THANKS, BOSQUE COUNTY PEOPLE
’'I’m driving the car all day while my hus-
band’s at work, so I really buy most of
the family gasoline out of my own bud-
get. If I can get even 2 or 3 miles more
to a gallon I want to know it. That’s why
I went to a Conoco station for my
Mile-Dial—not just because it’s free, but
because it really lets you know your true
mileage, exactly as a woman wants to
really know about anything she pays for.
I like buying tested things—the same as
any up-to-date consumer—and this cer-
tified Mile-Dial is like giving us con-
sumers our own easy way of testing
Conoco Bronz-z-z for mileage.
"Anyway, it’s almost like a game, dial-
ing your correct mileage on the Mile-Dial
—awfully clever. My husband says so,
too. By the way, my driving is just as
economical as bis, the way it proves out
on our Mile-Dial. Isn’t that interest-
ing? And we’re keeping on dialing to
make sure of our average in all different
driving. Right now, after 61 gallons of
Bronz-z-z in all, we’re a good 200 miles
ahead of what we used to expect from
that much gasoline.”
" I didn’t much care what gasoline I bought
as I went along. But this Mile-Dial being
free, and really daring you to keep your
own close tabs on Conoco Bronz-z-z gas-
oline, I went for it. And now I know why
they’ve got the gimp to let the Mile-Dial
tell all. For you can see by my Mile-Dial
right on the dash that I’ve gone 633
milfes on 37 gallons of Conoco Bronz-z-z.
"Now if you’ll watch this smart
Mile-Dial work—next to automatic—
you’ll see it giving the answer:... above
17 miles to the gallon of Bronz-z-z in
this big eight, around town here. But
I’m leaving for about (l 700-mile trip—
mostly open country. So don’t be sur-
prised if I even get better mileage. And
don’t say that’s a brag, because you
can’t help believing the Mile-Dial. Be-
sides settling the economy of Conoco
Bronz-z-z it’s sort of swell fun dialing
your honest mileage. The Conoco boys
must know what their gasoline’s got, to
give you a Mile-Dial free. I’ll bet you
would like one yourself and they’re free
as air, around a Conoco station. You
ought to go quick and get yours.”

I wish to take this means of expressing my sincere appreciation
and gratefulness to the good people of Bosque County who have so
willingly let me serve them as their County Judge for the past four
years. Working with you and for you has indeed been a great pleas-
ure, and the splendid co-operation and assistance you have shown me
during my term of office is appreciated, and through your co-opera-
tion we have progressed. And now I am asking you for a promotion,
and if you see fit to elect me to represent you once again, I shall
greatly appreciate it and shall endeavor to discharge the duties of the
office of the State Senator efficiently, fairly and for the general good
of this district and Texhs. KARL L. LOVELADY.
