BANKER TELLS
OF ENJOYMENT
Says Nothing in Valley
VIII Surprise Him
In Future

How South Texas bankers and
visiting out-of-state bankers enjoyed
their stay in the Valley in February,
is indicated in a letter received BY
w. b. Sellers, former president OF
the South Texas district, from G. s.
+. Holland, president of the Houston
National bank.
Holland said in his letter:
"You were SO busy seeing that
everybody was being taken care OF
and enjoying themselves that / did
not have an opportunity to visit with
you much while in the Valley at the
group meeting. Just came in contact
with YOU for a few moments as you
Jumped around" among the bankers.
However, / do want to say that the
bankers were never more royalty en-
tertained, and il any one of them
did not have a good time, IL was
their own fault, because you folks
in the Valley gave them entertain
ment for every moment they had TO
spare.
Many or the bankers present,
especially in the "Flying Squadron"
had never been in the Valley before
and I was curious TO know what their
observations would be. When J. inter
viewed them concerning the matter,
every one OF them were loud in their
praises Of the Valley and stated that
Il was more wonderful than any idea
they had had previously.
"As for myself, / do not know what
to think of the growth Of the Val
lev. ! had been down there many
times and on every trip, / observed
wonderful Improvement over the
previous trip. Certainly, it is mar
~velousl In the future | shall not be
surprised at anything that axes

meet. II to be more wonderfully de-
yeloped with each trip"

STORM RACES
OIL DERRICKS
Luling Field Swept BY
Queer Twister and
Heavy Hail

LULTNG, Texas, March 24.-tF)-
Operations at more than 500 wells
were resumed at daybreak Saturday,
after having been halted all night as
a result Of a tornado and hail storm
which swirIed through the heart Of
the oil field near the city, wrecking
125 derricks and warehouses, razed
two small residences and partially
demolished the 4,200 kilowatt power
plant building. causing damage esti-
mated at nearly 100000.
Striking the field at dusk Friday,
the "twister" cut a path approximate
" three quarters Of a mile in width
through the middle of the field. The
city itself was untouched.
Although the storm lasted but 20
minutes, its force was SO great that
rigs and machinery under the de-
molished derricks also were disabled,
according TO J. i. Cadenhead, man
ager OF the c. and 5. Tank company.
Sweeping through the forest OF
wooden towers over the 600-odd wells
of the field the devastating wind
tore the roofs from two warehouses,
RACED residences, partially demolish-
ed the building containing gener-
ators for supplying electricity to the
entire field. Occupants of the two
dwellings escaped injury.
Loss Of derricks and rigs amount
cd to more than S185, 900, Cadenhead
estimated. Damage to the power
buildings was placed at approximate
ly S. 5000. Oil we'll fittings stored in
the warehouses were slightly damag-
cd by the rain and hail accompany
ing the tornado.
Through a freak Of the storm, the
Guadalupe county part Of the oil
field as well as the city, was unaf-
fected.

OUR NATION WIDE STRAW VOTE

The presidential poll or test vote now being tax
IN throughout the country by approximately 1000
newspaper publishers is sure to attract great public
interest The test vote will show the political thought
now prevalent in communities scattered over the
length and breadth of the land.
Politicians have come to realize that the voting
power Of the great of the population in small
cities and towns is important factor in deciding
elections.
They realize that the next president will be
elected by persons in the homes and farms of the
countryside where the great majority of the Ameri-
can people live, reflecting American thought, I'm
moved by unworthy motives, unaffected by the bal
lyhoo that attends political campaigns These voters
make their choice after careful elaboration. They
think before they VOTE And the big politicians are
cognizant of the fact that what they are thinking
will have tremendous bearing on the result of the
November elections.
This test vote will be published in great vari
ety of papers, papers having editorial policies
bracng all shades of political belief Readers of these
1000 papers will cast the ballots and the count will
BE read by Republican and Democrats alike Unless
we very much mistaken, the results will be sig
nificant in the. extreme.
The poll Of the millions living in the small towns
will serve to indicate which way the political winds
are blowing
