Hixty men and women gathered
for a “Talk-Fast" at Dad Baker’s
Arcadian Cafe to discuss whether
or not local Interests would take
part as a community in the Pan-
handle Publicity Association being
formed at Amarillo. Hereford was
asked for $000 as its part of the
|ee GfTwS.
A broom factory was located
at Hereford and its product put
on the market without anyone
knowing the business had been
established. Home-grown broom
corn whs used as the material and
a local Industry encouraged.
The “causeway" over Tlerra
Hianca Creek on Bouth Main street
had been completed to give South
Hereford and Castro county a di-
rect and easily traveled street In-
to the city from the aouth. Over
12,000 cubic yards of earth were
used In building up the immense
grade, which la still doing duty
31 years later. It was n Joint
county und city program, the city
making the cut and All on the
north side of the bridge and tbe
county doing the work on the
aouth end.
for want of water. Editor llUott
notified bis readers the AteMson
story was a lie.
L. P. Landrum, Hereford nursery-
man, waa a speaker before the
State Horticultural Society, to
meet In Austin one week later, hla
subject being the fruit possibili-
ties of the Plains country.
A companion oi grocery prices
at that time with those of today
reveals that present day prices
are considerably lower. Flour sold
for $1.40 a sack, potatoes 2 cents
a pound, matches 24 cents a car-
ton, dry salt meat for 16 cents a
pound, 7 bare laundry aoap for
20 cents, etc.
The editor obligingly ran stories
from the Kansas City Star brag-
ging enthusiastically on the Pan-
handle aud Its glorious features, and
from the Atchlaon, Kansas, Globe
telling how water waa selling for
00 cents a gallon here, cattle dying
from thirst, railroads couldn't haul
water fast enough to supply needs
and ALL Texas was at a standstill
Alex Thompson waa still adver-
tising horses and mules for sale
at hla lumber yard.
The City Tailor Shop was adver-
tising they paid cash for eggs.
*Th* «Utor referred to one Of the
Santa Ft trains as the "Merry
Widow". The present local oeom-
modalions are getting known aa
the "Doodle-Bug" and the "Leap-
ing Lena".
14. 1932.
Troy Womble was advertising aa
a windmill expert, either for new
work or repairs
Jno. Slaton waa a member of a
delegation from Panhandle towns
before state authorities In an ef-
fort to organise a new court of
civil apis-als by dividing the Fort
Worth 04-oouuty district ao It
would retain 48 and let 46 counties
go Into the new division, in which
the nearcat town to Fort Worth
would be 176 miles away.
Nearly everyone Is aware by
this tlrno that 1832 la election year
and there will be candidates ga-
lore for all remunerative offices
of which the term expires.
Two years a go the present man-
agement of the Brand was too new
to the community to discuss coun-
ty affairs In more than a general
way, and had little or no know-
ledge of the individual merits of
the respective candidates for the
offices for which they announced.
Seriously, the pin)pie of Deaf
■milh county should consider care-
fully the *j null flea thins of those
for whom they will vote for offi-
cials for the next two years. It
Is not hard to tell whnt tyja* of
administration a candidate will
observe If he Is elected, If you
know what type of jierson he has
been before aud who and whal
Ills associates are and do. This
year is the rhoslng time, and all
the dissatisfaction of the next two
years In county affairs can tic
largely eliminated hy choosing the
proper officials this summer.
Every adult in the county knows
the kind of administration they
would like to see, yet It Is prob-
able there will Is* no two who will
•ee alike. In the general run of
affairs, most people recognise their
common Interests, but when the
unusual circumstance occurs, dif-
ferences arise, and much distress
and disorder Is the result.
Nearly all voters cast their lull-
lota for their friends, or who they
feel to lie their friends. The poli-
tics of th.> American people are
the anguish of the Kuro|s>un mind
beenn*e of the evident and sud-
den friendships developed Just Ik*-
fore and until Just after election
day.
The Brand has nothing at slake
!r the coming primary except to
serve Deaf Hmlth County to the
of 11“ ••.'!!!(», *nH there ninv
be some who will disagree with
that, but If tin* fsi|N>r can foresee
circumstances In the county’s af-
fairs for the next two years that
tbs Brand feels would lie harmful,
It aspects to work to defeat those
things. The time to do It is dur-
ing the corning nirnfiaign. For-
ward-looking clrlxcns will, we be-
lieve. appreciate these efforts,
As when It considered It neces-
sary to take s definite stand here-
tofore, the Brand expects to do
this in a general way and with
no peraonal feeling* In the matter.
If nereasary, we will go to the
rarorda to make our eon tent Iona
rtaar. Wa do not expect to make
Itaxardoua guesses, but will have
oar facta in hand before making
any observation*.
Tailoring luuxxle. Eyes that burn.
Tho carriage of royalty. Clean
cut fetlocks, dainty smooth legs
with steed pistons for tendons.
Bunchy driving muscles around
thu rump, strips of Damascus
through tho shoulders that push
and pull that slim barrel of a
body forward at tremendous speed.
Breeding has made a thorough-
bred like Twenty-Grand out of
generniinns of selection. A thor-
oughbred will do bis best. He will
finish If ho hns enough good legs
to hold him up. He will stagger
up with the jMiins of holl running
through his body and pound on.
