as to whether Hoover IA q democrat
or republican.
Declaring that Hoover is the
greatest humanitarian since Christ
she launched into praise Of the re-
publican standard bearer. calling him
the savior Of starving millions, the
builder Of stronger and better child
hood, n the greatest living Ameri-
can"
Mrs. Griswold concluded her talk
with the statement that il il "too
bad the democrats do not see fit to
take their great campaign fund, and
use IL for educational work. placing
II at the disposal Of Curtis and
Hoover and electing them by &C
~clamation."
Contrasts Candidates
H. L. Chapman Of Harlingen dwelt
at length on what he called ALE
Smith and the Arkansas Traveller
and declared that Tammany intended
making it a wet and dry issue. He
said the two party leaders are typi-
fled BY their campaign songs-"Ale"
Smith by "On the Sidewalks Of New
York." which he described as Jazz
which tends to pull men down." and
Hover by Onward Christian Sol
diers." which he classified as "Ele-
waiting, soulful" and tending to lift
men up.
j. A. Skunk Of Harrington gave an
outline of the tariff history of the
two parties, declaring that the repub-
lican party has always stood for pro-
tective tariff, and now that the VAL
ley needs a tariff il should become
aligned with this party.
He said that the present ongres-
sional representative of the 18th dis
trict John N. Garner) had stated TO
his young opponent" (Sid Hardin)
that he (Garner) could not favor a
high tariff because he was bound by
the party caucus. Skunk discounted
the reply Of Hardin that he would
disregard the party u and favor
a high tariff. "He would lose stand
ing with his party, and have no
power" he said.
Blaekshesr Speaks
John 7. Lomax Of San Benito. who
was later elected chairman Of the
Hoover club in the county, made a
short statement 70 the audience
pleading for a two party competi-
ton in Texas as being sound business
and making for better government.
and urging the active work Of all
present for Hoover. He was the first
speaker who did not read his speech.
One of the most sustained attacks
on the standard bearer Of the demo
Gratis and "Tammany Hall" was next
launched into by W. R. Blsckshear
Of Brownsville, who styled himself
an Independent democrat" He cited
figures and documents at length
telling Of alleged corruption of Tam
many Hall in the past, and charged
it with similar corruption at the pres
ent time.
He characterized the Tammany
tigers as office seekers, plunderers,
and voiced actual fear for the safety
Of public buildings, Libraries and
other assets Of the government at
Washington. if the Tammany Hall
crowd get in control. He declared
that they would "close the schools
and educational institutions "by per-
hitting liquor and thus depriving
children of their clothes" and would
"close the doors Of churches. and

LESSONS OF LIFE

Every person should go to the
cemetery at least twice in life. Once
at the end of life, and first early in
life to reflect on the brevity of life
and the insuff1ciency of worldly
goods. There is no place like a
quiet churchyard for meditation and
there is room in every life for more
serious thought
The tombstones hold a moral for
all living. There is inscribed the
human virtues, but among the in
scriptions there is no record of es-
tates left behind, fortunes made and
spent and worldly fame attained.
The magnitude and sculpture of the
stone or the vault alone remain to
remind the world of "the boast of
heraldry and the pomp of power"
Why should human beings worry
and struggle through life's fleet
span in pursuit of wealth, fame, lux
uries, vanities and al Those other
evanescent things we choose to call
riches? The poor are distressed by
too little money, the moderately
wealthy by the thought that others
possess more wealth than hey, and
the rich by too much money.
Few people have learned the Sec
ret of living well. Most of us meas
ure contentment in terms of dollars
and social position. The number is
negligible which views life as a
golden opportunity to work and
think and be joyful.

"HIS LIKENESS"

How does God look?" said my little
lass.
AT her questions 1 often smiled
But this time 1 offered prayer in
stead
For guidance. to help my child.
Gods face is seen in the heart of a
rose
In the bud of a lily white,
In the brightness of sunshine after
rain
In the charms of a moonlight
night;
In the beauty of everlasting hills,
The trees with their leafy shade,
In the sky above and the earth be-
meath
And all things he has made.
But the dearest picture 1 ever saw
The clearest and finest too,
Is his likeness in hearts that hallow
his name
And seek his works to do"
Now 1 know how God looks" said
my little lass.
Her words dropped like heavenly
dew,
And left a song in my weary heart:
Il think God looks like you"

THE M-BETWEEN-
SEASONS INVENTORY

At about this time of the year one
of the predominating thoughts with
all of us is getting ready for fall
and winter" This is true, with ev-
cry phase of our household problems
! anu especially in the clothing de-
partment
We begin to ask ourselves, what
shall we buy new for each member
of the family and what do we have
that may be used again either as it
Or renovated ana perhaps remod-
eled. In nearly every case if old
Cnmgs are 10 be used again, and
they must be by most of us, they
need some slight touching up or
maybe entirely renovated. So we
start pulling out our last seasons
coats, dresses, hats, shoes and may
be gloves and other accessories and
wondering what we can do with
them to make them "look different
and newer" Perhaps the first things
we shall do is to take definite in
ventOry of all the garments that we
have on nand and decide what may
be done with them to make them
disable. Maybe some of them only
neeu a good "treshening up" by
hanging in the open and then the
finish touch of pressing. But we are
sure to find some that require fur
Their attention. All of them will
need to go through the freshening
stage, after which perhaps a new
or fresh collar and cuff set will do
the trick, or maybe a new vest or
buttons where none had been used,
sometimes a different belt is all that
is needed. Then again we find those
that just must have something en-
tirely different done to them. In
this case 1t Is usually necessary "
ldy the cut. line and design of
the garment and decide whether it
10 worm all Lnat II will cost in
time and money, to make it disable
ana attractive. If so then it must
be taken apart, cleaned thoroughly
and the new design worked out Of
ten this extra work may be avoided
by a little thought and ingenuity
along the line of simple renovation.
Now that we have all our old
things out, freshened up and pos
sibly changed to look more inter-
esting and attractive, we have de-
cided that the fall and winter
problem isn't as big a one as
we had thought and that the buying
may be comparatively small. Then
it is that we feel rewarded flor hav-
ing taken the time to go carefully
through the old things. ~

At the recent meeting of the Fire
Company it was disclosed by the
Auditing Committee that the net
proceeds of this years carnival was
over five hundred dollars more than
the net proceeds of any of the pre-
vious carnivals.
The gross receipts as reported by
the committee was $5,439.61. After
all bills and expenses were met
there was a balance of $2,212.SS. This
was most gratifying report to the
firemen, as it meant that they could
reduce the amount of their mortgage
100000.
The firemen are sincerely appre-
ciative and wish to thank each and
every one who had a part in making
this years carnival such a rousing
success.
