SEEK LOWER PRICE
ON SCHOOL LANDS
West Texas Counties VIII Send Dele
cation to Austin to Work For
Legislation at Next Session.

Midland, Tex, Nov. S.-Representa-
tives met here from Andrews, Gaines,
NOalIum and Upton counties and ef-
fected an organization, the purpose Of
which is to secure a reduction in the
price of school lands in west Texas.
In addition to delegates from the
counties the meeting was attended by
state senator H. p. Brelsford and rep
resentatiVe T. NJ BARLEY. w. =. Al
len, of Midland. acted as chairman and
T. c. Darlington as secretary of the
convention.
Delegates explained the evils they
claim have arisen from the present
system the state uses in disposing of
school lands. Under the present plan
an upset price is placed on the lands
and they are then sold to the highest
bidder tt is claimed that the mini
mum price demanded by the state is
in the majority of cases too high. and
many people who were totally ignOr-
ant of the condition existing and of
the real value of the school lands
have bought lands at a price far in
excess of the minimum price set by
the state. and at a price at which the
purchaser is unable to make a living
from the land and pay the interest
due to the state on his deferred pay
ments.
A central committee has been ap-
pointed to consist of one man from
each county represented at the con-
vention. This committee will raise
islature. and have a delegation at Aus
tin which will assist the representa-
tives and senators from west Texas in
an effort to secure legislation for the
relief of the present owners of school
lands.

" HERE are two things that distin-
guish Belle Blanche from other
headliners in vaudeville.
One is that she has a real grand
opera voice and the other that she is
so much like a home girl that you have
to make real effort TO remember that
she is on the stage at all
L asked her how she managed to keep
healthy-she is only 19-and made a
stage hit as a tot.
Il think the most essential thing to
health is plenty Of sleep and fresh air, %
said she. i never have a cold or throat
trouble Of any kind, for the good rea-
son that never stay in places where
the ventilation is bad, and do not spend
hours in smoky restaurants for in
stance. Nothing could be worse for
the voice than remaining for a Ions
time in places where the air is vitiated
and full Of tobacco smoke. and you
know the voice is a sort OF register OF
health
Another reason why I never have
a cold is because ] don't wear high
collars Year in and year out I wear
Dutch necks or low rundown collars
on my frOcks and my throat and neck
are hardened so that the change OF
tmosphere doesn't affect me. 1 never
wear furs tight around my neck either
A good many people catch cold that
way. getting used TO the warm fur and
then being unable TO withstand a cold

,iMoNY rststsd 'if@t
That prince Of West Virginia Sliar'
monizers Hon. Chas. W. swisher, can
didate for the Republican nomination
for Governor, is at home again from a
campaigning tour Of several counties
,or the state, and in an interview &c
corded The Mail today placed the
chances Of Republican success in West
Virginia next November in quite =
rosy light. This State has no more
successful political harmonizer thaF7
Swisher. His name has been sFyrdny'
mous.with the name harmony. EvS ry.
where he goes he leaves trail Of zeal
harmony, and II one we're enti$ely
familiar with all his good works in this
line there would be no question about
who would be the next governor u the
State. The sacrifice he made three
years ago, when he cheerfully gave up
his own ambitions-and incidentally
the nomination Of the regular party
convention for the governorshtlr-to
bring harmony into party ranks, and
which action on his part is regarded
by thousands of good Republicans az
the real quality that brought about Re-
publican success that year, was one u.
.lustratiou Of his harmony procIivlCies,
however. with which all are familiar
and few If any have forgotten. MI
Swisher makes the cheering prediction
in his todays interview that West Wiz
sinia is safely Republican this year
OF grace, no matter who may be nomi-
mated for office. Speaking OF the har-
mony now existing in party ranks, he
says that all personal feeling has been
swept aside, and that the pagty's com
mittees are of one mind and working,
70 one common end for victory In
November, and that even in those
counties where the party was unfortu'
nate enough to have faCtional fights
that terminated in the organization OF
two committees, the differences have
been eliminated. 1t is certainly en-
couraging news that Mr.. Swisher
brings to the State Capital, and should
have the effect OF stiffening up the
backbone OF the party everywhere i'll
