Build house arourfd good heating
The house of today is no more modern than its method of heating.
In southwest today, even plans for a modest cottage include Auto-
matic Central Gas Heat. Little wonder, for closet-type central gas
furnace can be installed in small space. When planned as part of
house and installed when it is built the small cost each month is hardly
noticeable. With Automatic Gas Heat#there’s no bother. House stays
at just the temperature you like. The air is filtered—there's no dust.
The flow of warmed air is smooth and even. Moisture content of air
is properly balanced. The unit is vented so there’s no wall sweating.
Be sure the home you build or remodel can be classed as
modern for many years by planning it around an Automatic Central
Gas Heating System. i
Closet Type
Central Furnace
For the cottage where space is limited this
closet-type furnace is ideal for installation in
small space. It provides clean, warm air
throughout the house. It is completely auto-
matic. It is quiet, efficient and costs little to
operate.

Houston Man Writes
Answer To Letter
Supporting Rainey
I note with much amusement
a letter signed by a Supporter of
Homer Raiuev for Governor in
your paper last week. Being a
Native of Northern Hopkins
County and a staunch supnortrr
of Grover Solid* in the fir?t Pri-
mary for Governor, 1 must make
some corrections pointed out in
this letter
I heard Grover Sellers make his
speech here in Houston, he was
not introduced by the head of the
CIO, but a life long democrat.
Besides in the three CIO-PAC
boxes in Houston Homer Rainey
received 80 per cent of the votes.
As to the Texas Regulars sup-
porting Jester, would point out
that leave off the Texas Regulars
of about 150,000 and you still
have over 300,000 other Texans
that voted for Jester.
Just last week, Rainey dis-
claims the book, “USA,” but all
along he has taken the attitude
that this book is the top of the
reading list. He even went so far
as to go to the National Associa-
tion of School Teachers and abuse
the regents of the State Univer-
sity for his dismissal, claiming
that they would not permit him
to have Academic Freedom (that
is to place the “USA” in reading
list). Such filthy literature was
.never permitted to be sent through
the mails.
As to Rainey putting the book
cut of the University, if you want
to know' the truth Grover Sellers
has photo-static copies of the
records of the case and anyone
could also secure the truth from
Austin.
The Communist holler always
is riches—they want to divide up
the wealth and give all people a
share. Take Rainey’s record and
you will find that he has not
made a success of anything that
he ever started out to do.
Don’t let the Texas Regulars
scare you—they are past history—
just like the Wiggs—but in order
to contaminate the minds of the
people, Rainyites keep stirring up
the by gones.
Our Public School Systems
should have no place in politics,
especially our Colleges and Uni-
versities, and Ramey has started
out to drag the University into
politics merely for spite, just be-
cause he was fired as President.
But give him a little more time
and he will even deny that he
was fired from this position.
I would ask my unknown friend
to secure a copy of “USA”, read
any page in it, look up the true
records why Rainey was fired for
upholding this book over the pro-
tests of the Regents of the Uni-
versity, and then if you can stand
it, vote for Rainey, just because
the Texas Regulars (or many of
them) are going to vote for Jester.
Rainey got a long list of Minis-
ters and other people to endorse
him in this manner, “They know
him to be a fine Christian and a
fine gentleman.” But they don’t
say anything about endorsing his
teachings, his principles. He al-
w’ays brags about supporting the
party—w'e havd many other peo-
ple ,who have always supported
the party even in 1928, one did,
Jester.
Probably our unknown friend
would feel small if the people
could read “USA” and see that
he too, like Rainey, believes in
teaching our young people this
kind of ideals.
If you don’t know, ask your
neighbor, Grover Sellers. He is
an honest truthful citizen. He has
not or never will be a Texas Reg-
ular. Think—and vote for Jester
in the coming election.
Sincerely,
J. o. HILL

HISTORY
REPEATS ITSELF
After World War I, millions of dollars were
taken out of Texas by slickers and schemers and
crooks who sold doubtful or worthless stocks and
bonds in exchange for Government Bonds.
The same thing is starting again. The slick-
ers are at it right now. You must be watchful and
on your guard.
The bonds which you bought during World
War II cost you money. They cost you hard work.
They are the results of your denying yourself.
They are the best investmeht in the world. Hold
on to them.
If someone wants to talk you out of your
bonds, don’t be misled. Talk to someone who knows
about investments. Probably your banker is best
qualified. If he doesn’t know, he can find out and
will be glad to investigate for you.
Remember! If it’s worth an investment, it’s
worth an investigation.
