W. E. MOORE ANNOUNCES
FOR RE-ELECTION TO OFFICE
Your attention is called to the
name of W. E. Moore in the announce-
ment column as a candidate for re-
election to the office of Tax Assessor
of Lampasas county. Mr. Moore is
now serving his third term in this
office and is well known to practically
all the people here and needs no in-
troduction from this paper. His pre-
vious experience gives him a good
knowledge of values in this county and
he keeps his records in a neat and
satisfactory manner, and is very ac-
commodating and obliging to those
who have business transactions with
him. Mr. Moore asks that the voters
of Lampasas county give his candi-
dacy proper consideration at the
democratic primary election in July,
and promises to serve you to the very
best of his ability if re-elected to
this office.
Letter From Club Boy.
Adamsville, Texas,
January 3, 1928.
Dear Mi\ Wendt:
I hope you enjoyed Christmas. I
sure did. I am starting the new year’s
club work as it should be started. I
bought another calf for $25.00. I
have been feecjing them the corn oats
and cottonseed meal ration since the
first of the month. My oldest calf
weighed 500 pounds on January 1st,
and my new one weighed 350 pounds.
I have enlarged the stall that I had,
it is now 9x14 feet. Come by and
see how they are fixed up the first
opportunity you have. I have closed
the records that I have been keeping
and can give it to you any time you
want it. I am sure going to work on
this year’s club project to such an
extent that I will win the trip to
Chicago next fall. I am re-breaking
my corn land now so that it ought to
be in fine shape at planting time.
I think that Mrs. Nuckles is going
to give the club a party on Friday
night, January 13th. If she does
there will be no need to have our
social meeting Friday night, will
there? Our school is about to close
a deal for buying a moving picture
machine. We would like for you to
see how much money the club has in
the bank. I think that the club would j BODIES RECOVERED

FROM SUNKEN SUB
Mrs. J. B. Cockrell, secretary
American Legion Auxiliary, Unit No.
277, Lampasas, Texas.
Dear Mrs. Cockrell:
I am happy to have your letter of
Dec. 26th, with the duplicate remit-
tance sheets having thirty-eight mem-
bers’ names; check for thirty-eight
dollars and twenty-five cents ($38.25)
in payment of their 1928 department
and national dues, and 25c balance
for fifty membership card's, which are
going forward to you under separate
cover, also credentials for six new
members.
In behalf of the Texas Legion Aux-
iliary, I thank Lampasas Unit for this
splendid membership report that puts
Lampasas on the honor roll among
the first in Texas and entitles you all
to the national citation again 'this
year. Only one other unit, Burton,
has that distinction of winning na-
tional citation now for both 1927 and
1928 annual dues remitted in advance,
equalling or exceeding the previous
year’s enrollment. This kind of co-
.operation promotes the organization,
membership in early helps the auxil-
iary most, and Lampasas is to be de-
pended on for good work.
As soon as the national citation is
received here from national head-
quarters, I will forward same to you.
Wishing you and Lampasas Auxil-
iary continued success in the New
Year, I am fraternally yours,
ADA MAY MADDOX, Department
Secretary.
Provincetown, Mass., Jan. 4. The
bodies of three members of the crew
of the S-4 were recovered this after-
noon by divers who descended and
entered the engine room of the sunk-
en submarine. All the bodies were
found fully clothed and appeared to
have met their death by drowning.
No attempt was made to identify
the bodies, but officers said the cloth-
ing indicated they were enlisted men,
probably machinists.

BUCKNER ORPHAN HOME
HAD BIRTHDAY PROGRAM
Dallas, Tex., Jan. 4.—In observance

Nearly 700 children of the home

NO SCHOOL MONEY FROM
THE l^TATE IN JANUARY
Austin, Tex., Jan. 4.—No state
school money will be paid during the
month of January, but during Feb-
ruary and March a large sum will be
apportioned over the state, S. M. N.
Marrs, state superintendent, said
Tuesday.
The schools will get a minimum of
$7 per child during February and
March, and possibly a little more
than that. If only $7 is paid the
total outlay will be $9,590,560, as
there are 1,370,080 children enumer-
ated this year.
Thus far this scholastic year the
state has paid but $3 per child and
the total apportionment is $15 per
capita,
This Farm Flock Pays.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Wesley Smith have
just completed the records on their
flock of 400 white leghorns for the
year 1927. These records show be-
yond any doubt that the well cared
for farm flock is a good investment.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith have sold during
the past twelve months, 5,250 dozen
eggs, at an average price of 1714c,
bringing a total of $937.47. The aver-
age number of eggs laid per hen dur-
ing the twelve months period was
157.5, which shows that the Smiths
have some good layers in their flock.
The average cost of feeding a hen
for one year is $1.25, which means
that it would cost Mr. Smith and Co.
$500.00 to feed their 400 hens one
year, provided it cost them the aver-
age. We are confident that it did not
cost Mr. and Mrs. Smith $1.25 per
hen to feed their flock. They raise
all' the grain feed used and they have
their own feed grinder so all that
they are required to be out cash for
is the protein used in the ration. From
the above figures one can readily see
that about half of the $937.47 is
profit. Lampasas county can boast
of having a large number of prosper-
ous farmers. We would like to see
more profitable poultry flocks on Lam-
pasas county farms.
Washington, Jan. 4.—For the fourth
time, the senate today approved and
sent to the house the constitutional
amendment of Senator Norris (Rep.),
Nebraska, to prevent “lame duck”
sessions of congress after general
elections.
The vote on adoption was 65 to 6,
Senators Bingham, Conn.; Dale and
Greene, Vermont, and Sackett, Ken-
tucky, republicans, and Blease, South
Carolina and King, Utah, democrats,
voting against it.
The amendment would fix January
2 of each year as the meeting time
for congress without limitation or
regard to long and short sessions and
would set January 15, of the year
after election as the day for the pres-
ident and vice president taking office
instead of March 4. Under the pro-
posal, members of congress who had
been defeated, would not pass on
legislation, as they may do at pres-

Carbondale, 111., Jan. 4.—The gov-
ernment policy in Nicaragua was as-
sailed here today by N. H. Dowdell,
whose son, Sergeant Frank Dowdell,
was unofficially reported slain by
bandits in Nicaragua last October,
when an airplane in which he was
doing patrol duty, was forced doAvn
in rebel territory.
“We ought to go down there and
clean up that situation,” declared
Dowdell, “or get out of there and stay
out. There is no use sending a hand-
ful of our boys down there to be
butchered. If it is war, let’s call it
that, and successfully conclude it.”

Washington, D. C., Jan. 3.—The
formal invitation to France to join
the United States in proposing to all
the principal powers of the world a
multilateral treaty containing a dec-
laration “renouncing war as an in-
strument of national policy,” was
made public today by the state de-
partment. It was forwarded to Paris
Dec. 28, as an elaboration of the
original “draft pact of perpetual
friendship between France and the
United States.”
On the same date the state depart-
ment transmitted a draft treaty to
replace the Root arbitration treaty
with France on its expiration Feb-
ruary 27. It includes in the preamble
a proposed genei'al declaration against
resort to war. A copy of this draft
has been transmitted to the British
and Japanese governments and will
be transmitted to every other gov-
ernment with which the United States
has a Root arbitration pact. The text
of the draft of the revised arbitration
treaty was not made public, although
the American proposals it contains
are known in general terms.
French Attitude Undetermined.
Ambassador Claudel called on Sec-
retary Kellogg today to discuss the
various peace treaty proposals. It
was said at the embassy, however, he
was still unadvised as to attitude of
the French foreign office on the sug-
gestion from Washington that France
and the United States lead the way
in a world-wide movement to get all
nations committed to the anti-war
declaration.
The proposal, which is in the nature
of a counter suggestion to the French
foreign minister’s original plan for
a bilateral treaty, outlawing war be-
tween France and the United States,
is contained in a note from the state
department to the French govern-
ment. The Briand draft pact, it says,
“proposes that the two powers should
solemnly declare in the name of their
respective peoples that they condemn
recourse to war, renounce it as an
instrument of their national policy to-
wards each other and agree that a
settlement of disputes arising between
them, of whatever nature or origin
they may be, shall never be sought by
either party except through pacific
means.”
In answer to this suggestion Sec-
retary Kellogg said he had given it
careful consideration and warmly re-
ciprocated for the American people
the “lofty sentiments of friendship”
that had inspired Minister Briand to
propose such a treaty.
