In today's issue Of the Reveille will
be found the announcement of Hon.
Percy E. Quin as candidate for re-
election as Representative in Com
gress from this the Seventh District.
Mr., Quin has been in Congress for
three terms. During the last session
he was the ranking member of the
Committee on Military Affairs, one of
the most important committees Of the
body. He vigorously opposed large
standing army, also compulsory mill
tary training, a record Of which any
congressman has a right to be proud,
and one deserving of the thanks Of the
people Of his district.
Mr.. Quin also has one thing to his
credit which is seldom found in men
holding the important position of con-
gresham: Notwithstanding the many
and varied calls which are made upon
his time and that Of his secretary, he
never fails to promptly answer every
letter which is written him.
Mr.. Quin is sanguine Of success,
having made a hurried trip over sew
eral Of the counties Of his district

the grass worms are totally destroy
ing young corn.

You hirted with the angels year
You wonderful, beautiful dear.

But you could not resist that sweet
call,
So you've left us at last, and for all
And you've fitted away
With the angels to play
The brightest and fairest Of them all,

CLAIBORNE COUNTY MAN
STRIKES OIL In LOUISIANA

J. 1. Lord Of Hermanville is feeling
good over the fact that the Tom James
Oh Co. has just brought in a 10000
gallon gusher in Louisiana. John has
a hundred shares Of stock in the com
pany, and Il is estimated that the
shares are now worth IS to / on the
New York Stock Exchange.
John had planted bumper cotton
crop, and when the boil weeviIs began
to harvest it we suppose he decided
to hedge with oil stock. At any rate.
he seems to have been wise in his IN
vestment--possibly the only man in
the county who is getting results
from investments in oil stock.

You Can See Before You Buy
W. snow You Ihe Rea Impsmen NoI smp PIoIes q Tem

It is valuable human trait to want
70 see before you buy Suppose you
want to buy horse. One man brings
70 you picture Of horse; another
man brings real horse Which IN
tefests you the most-tbe picture Or
the real thingg
The picture tells you nothing ex-
cept IN general way. What you
want to know, as prospective pur-
chaser, IS in particular way. You
want 70 know whether the horse is
sound Of limb and body; how old, stur-
dy and active il is, and something
definite as to its spirit. The picture
tells you none Of these things. You
can learn them only by inspecting the
horse closely and seeing Il in action.

ERLY.

1t will be remembered that some
time ago it was agreed between Dists.
2 and 4 Of the county to lop off that
part Of Dist. lying east Of the forks
of the bayous to Rapilja creek and
attach it to Dist. q A survey was
made and the transfer agreed to.
Since Dist 2 failed to sell its road
bonds it wished to rue back, and the
records were examined with view Of
making an offer to Dist. to cancel
the agreement, II was discovered
that through some error the trade
had never been recorded, consequent
ly the districts remain just where
they have been for very many years
possibly since the county was d.
vided into districts.

To Tenant Farmers
of the Corpus
Christi Country:

Wouldn't you like to own your
own farms?
Many of you are making net
profits this year sufficient to pay
gOr good-sized piece of land.
You may do one of two things.
You may buy improved land, pay
ing from 500 to $50 per acre.
Oryou may buy new land and put
it in cultivation.
If you want to become a land
owner and home owner instead
ia renter and drifter, can help
you.
Remember this: Values in the
black land belt Of the Corpus
Christi country are rapidly in
creasing; present values will
surely double within the next five
years.
If you are wise, you will act
now. Values will be higher when
the cotton season is over
can make you an exceedingly
attractive proposition, if you want

EDUCATIONAL "NOVIES."

The real educational film is at hand,> apparently We are familiar with the more or less interesting views of the manner in which things are man. ufactured, produced under the name of the gentleman who made tin so valuable, but these views somehow failed to satisfy. We are also informed of the fact that certain species of pies, propelled with accuracy of aim and speed of movement, spread and spat- ter whom they reach their objective. The wiles of the vampire are no long CT shroudcd in fascinating mystery. and we have learned how to combat them. thanks to the pictured strength of character of wavy- haired youths of impregnable morals.
 But now comes news that promises real knowledge. Complete anatoml- cal uses of the human heart will be depicted on the screen. Use of the new films will make vivisection need less and the almost as intricate prob Icms of mathematics. Greek and Latin. will be presented to the eye ill such a manner that jnlm ediate under standing will result. IL is not divulged whether or not a celebrated cartoon ist will be employed to demonstrate the bridge of asscs,' dreaded by students of geometry, or whether Mutt and Jeff will be the mathemati- clans employed to show that two and two make four.
 There can be no question that there is a great field for real educational films, and the new announcement in dicates thai progress in this regard is being made.

CONDITION OF TRADE.

Commercial reviews of last week refer again to bad weather conditions and transportation difficulties as hin- dering d return to normal conditions of trade. Business in wholesale lines is reported as good. with quIeter tone in retail trade. Transportation problems do not seem to affect pur chasing for immediate use. but the feeling that prices have at last reached the top is inducing caution in providing for the future.
 This view of the situation is em- phasized in Eradstreet's review which says, in part: The main influence in inducing caution in respect to provid ing for more distant requirem is the feeling reflected in dispatches from many quarters that prices have about reached the top and that read justments iE a downward direction may be looked for in the not distant future.'
 An encourag ging note for everyone is to be noted in these summaries. Even the manufa turer who has been getting the, top price'' for his product will find solace in the fact that with that price falling sympathetic lower ing m all commodities will give him an equal comparative margin of profit, under far more satisfactory con- ditions. From every viewpoint a re- . turn to the normal will benefit the sane liver and conservative business man. They are the men whose we'll being brings general prosperity. ;

THE KAISER KNEW.

Herbert Hoover says General von Luettwitz, commanding the military forces of the German revoIutionists. is one of the former kaiser's old gang" Von Kapp, is of the same ilk. Reports of the formation of new monarchical party have been reach ing this country from Berlin. The cx-Crown Prince has been driving hastily about seeking news of the latest developments in the revolution. And the former Kaiser has been markedly nervous recently. at times ceasing his exercise of severing logs and walking about as though under a nervous tension.
 Assemble these facts and view them in the light of the unaItera bl e characteristic of the German to ex- pect and to thrive under autocratic ruley and the conclusions are inevit- able. The former Kaiser and his close confidants, it is believed have been following developments of the revolution, reactionary in it's es- sence. and the Knowledge that the exkaiser knew has been its insplra-

 Dear Sir:-F'rom the very first line of the communication printed from the pen of your correspondent of Sat erday signed Fl. P.

B. says that J. $. writes that it is a crime against God to change your clock-and that's what l say, too. the same as J. $. The clock is simply a machine registering the hour given you by the sun. God made the sun. You have no right to call the sun liar and I told you so before a year ago.
 l don't know it is a crime against society, if by that H. P. E. means the class of people whose wealth permits them to lie in bed all day. or to get up at any time it suits them. but you do impose upon the fac tory worked an odious hard ship when

If the bell sheep had jumped the hurdles into a pond with suicidal intent the whole flock would have done the same.

with services to be rendered, many of those skilled in teaching will have sought and found more lucrative en- ploymcnt and will be beyond return ing to d work Of which they may have grown weary and which treated them so unSratefuI1N.
 Thus a splendid profession will be revived, belated recognition of it's necessity will come, and these who have prepared themselves to take ad- vantage Of it's opportunities will be benefited. It will not be long before the country realizes the seriousness of d situation that has closed over 1S,000 schools for the lack of teachers. In 190 state, county, city and private normal schools there were over 1000 fewer students enrolled November 1, 1919, than in the pre-war period.
