promptly. such delinquent taxes should

the Court that a large percentage # the
tax payers OF Cameron County are citi-

familiar with the tax laws Of Texas. and
that fairness to such tax payers de-
mands that they be given notice before
the institution of suits which make ad-
ditional cost and the Court being fur

of such tax suits before giving such
notice will hinder rather than help the
collection Of such taxes

CALL MODIFIED.

A modification to the call for the
state convention, making il optional
on the counties whether they will
elect new delegates appears on the
front page Of this issue.
The Emmons County Executive
! committee has not yet decided, not
having had an opportunity to get to-
gether. A consensus seems to favor
sending the old delegates, however
and it is unlikely that the committee
after taking the matter up, will call
for special precinct meetings and for
a county meeting to elect new dele
gates.
The majority of the farmers are
busy and will be so until snow flies,
and they are, practically unanimous
ly, satisfied with the delegates who
were elected for the Fargo conven>
ton. If members throughout the
county desire special precinct meet
ings and will take the initiative at
once the county executive committee
will no doubt issue the call for pre-.
cinct meetings and a county conven-
ton. Otherwise, according to the in
dividual opinion of two of the mem
bers Of the committee, the old dele
gates. Roy A. Yeater, s. F. Wright
and Geo. w. Lynn will be given Gre
dentials to attend the state conven-
ton as delegates from Emmons-Em-
mons County Free Press.

WHAT Is AGED?

The attention Of the Evening Trib-
une has been called by sprightly
young person of 63 to deplo rable
tendency of the press TO misuse the
word "aged' A headline proclaims
that an aged woman has been hurt
in an accident. The story gives her
age at az.
1t is a delicate matter to decide at
what point man becomes aged. To
make the same calculation with re-
gard to a woman requires even more
wisdom and tact.
Practically all the men and women
who do big things and preside oven
great concerns are well past the
mark set by the headline writer. A
modern grandmother dresses with
more "chic" than her f1apper grand
daughter. White hair falls daily
under the shears of the bob artist.
The golf links are filled with young
sters of IS who can give their sons
handicaps in the game.
What is aged? 1t isn't, any more.

ADVENTURE OF

through Umpeetah's magic glass.

peetah. "Once upon time mighty
hunter came to the place where the
plains and mountains meet. He had
made many arrows and we'll he de-
served the name of mighty for what
he saw he killed, and he saw much,

frozen and it was night!
AT last he found cave, and
having flint stone and few dry
twigs he made tiny fire. Then he
dug under the snow and found some
pine branches and made a greater
fire.
"Then he lay down to sleep. It
was warm in the cave now.
"By and by something soft rubbed
against his cheek.
Mister Mighty Hunter sat up.
'Ah!' he said. Here is food of the
best kind!" 1t was a pure white rab-
bit!
Then he stopped. No, no, l can't
eat such helpless creature. Lie
down, little rabbit, and keep warm
as long as you like. No harm shall
