Leaders Urge More Horses and Mules
wr: w<
sw* ' *. • s
Stockmen and farmers of Texas,
after careful study, have learned
that Texas will have to breed and
produce the horses and mules need-
ed on Texas farms. So the leaders
in this important industry have or-
ganized the Texas Horse, Jack and
Mule Breeders’ Association and are
determined to restore the horse
and mule industry from its present
alarming condition. Three principal
speakers at a big meeting in Fort
Worth are, loft to right, John W.
Carpenter, Dallas; C. W. Green,
Sedalia, Mo., and B. A. Skipper, Jr.,
of Encir.o Skipper is president and
Carpenter vice president of tht
association. Carpenter said: “I havi
imported 200 jacks into Texaf
during the past four years and th|
demand continues. But there ari
no more where these came from
If we are to supply the demand
we must breed them here in Texas
As I see things now, there will con
tinue to be a shortage of mule!
for at least 10 years.” Carpenter
who was bom and raised on a Na
varro county farm, operates a bi>
stock ranch in Dallas county ai
well as farms in other parts of thi
state.
Shrewd Daughter
A man has a little daughter
of whose character he has an
exalted idea. One day he said
to her:
“My dear, a man this morn-
ing offered papa this room full
of gold if he would sell his
little brother Now, that means
gold enough to fill this room
wall to wall and floor to ceil-
ing. If I sell little brother for!
that amount, I shall be able
to buy you everything in the
world that you want. Shall I
sell him.
“No, papa,” answered the
little girl promptly; and then
before the delighted father
could embrace her for ex-
pressing so much unselfish af-
fection, she continued: “Keep
him till he’s bigger, and he’ll
be worth more.”

some 145,000 miles over Africa's roughest trails.

Another Slur
Small Girl (seeing bagpiper
for the first time)—Daddy,
can’t you stop that man? He’s
squeezing something under his
arm, and he must be hurting
it terribly. Listen to the noise
it’s aking.
Mutual Consolation
Said the father at his daugh-
ter’s wedding:
“It’s hard to lose a beauti-
ful daughter.”
His friend, with much feel-
ing, replied:
“It’s much harder to lose
the plain ones.”
Not a Fanner
“What? Back in the city a-
gain? I thought you were a
farmer.”
“You made the same mis-
take that I did ”
The Right Man
‘May I ask your profession?’
said one of the older residents
of the boarding house.
“Sculptor,” said the new
comer.
“Good!’ ’ exclaimed the
other. “You’re just the man
we want. Would you mind
carving this roast of beef?”
Pompous Perso—Am I all
right for the zoo?
Boy—You look all right to
me, mister, but I ain’t running
it.
AROUND FAL—
(continued from page 1)
The housing situation here
is becoming acute. Postively.
Mr. Redniclc, connected with
the Alice Federal Building and
Loan Co., was in Facts office
Thursday and assured us that
their institution stood ready
and willing to make some
loans here. He pointed out
that the Alice Federal Build-
ing and Loan Co. were build-
ing residences in San Diego,
Benavides, and Hebbronville
and would like to help Falfur-
rians who desired to bluild
homes We believe that there
are a number of people here
who could and who should
make an effort to build them-
selves homes. Owning one’s
own home makes for a peace
that defies description.
The proposed Constitutional
Amendment to change the
term of office in Texas from
two to four years, we are not
in sympathy with. Every night
every banker in America
knows postively the condition
of his bank, and the larger the
business, the more often is it
checked and audited. This is
a fast a^e, have no doubt along
that line, and businesses that
are progressive and successful
depend upon frequent inven-
tories and audits. And our
father’s recognized that elect-
ing our officials every two
years gave the people an op-
portunity of taking an invoice
of their services. We have
never believed that if a Coun-
ty Clerk or County Judge or
any other county official was
able and efficient that he
shouV be allowed to hold of-
fice but two terms. On the
other hand we are not in sym-
pathy with extending the term
of office from two years to
four years. We sincerely be-
lieve that the founders of this
Great State wisely and well
decreed that every two years
our officials should come be-
fore the people and render an
account of their steward ship.
If there is any agitation for
lengthening the term of office
by the rank and file it has es-
caped our notice. Certainly no
one has introduced a Constitu
tional Amendment in the Con-
gress to extend the terms of
Congressmen from two to four
years. And just why should
Texas do s0 at this time? No
Two years is long enough for
the people to be without an in-
ventory on their elected offi-
cials, and u'e believe that if
the matter is submitted to the
voters they'will overwhelming-
ly vote against extending the
| terms of office to four years.
