Politics Warming Up
In Willacy County
Especial to The Herald.)

RAYMONDVILLE, Tex, Jan. 2s.-
Politics apparently will be warm
here this year, from the buzz Of
candidates and prospective csndi-
dates for the local offices. To date
two candidates have announced for
commissioner of precinct No. ?, and
there are four more in a receptive
mood, IL is stated. At present this
office is held by c. F.. Thompson,
who was elected or the Independent
ticket.
Also r. s. Dorsett has announced
for the office Of county judge. Ru-
NOR says there are five other can
didates who will enter this race.
Judge A. B. Crane is the present in
cumbent.
From the present indications, there
will be a sweep stake race for ev-
cry office in the county, il political
gossip is to be relied upon.

then, how do you like Peter. and

still buried in the depths OF the red

eyes bent inquisitively on the clear

finally replied to his question.

frankly stated, without looking up.

any woman-could love very easily,

that there is no doubt. And she's
frightfully jealous of him, too. He
seems to care a great deal for her
and he adores his children. | could
love tn Riddles myself. They are
wonderfully sweet"
Pat Sweeney studied his daughters
half-averted face in the rudy glow
from the CRATE. She had always
been more or less Of a mystery to
him. although he loved her with all
the affection Of his big Irish heart.
She was to him much like the pro-
verbal frog which never jumped in
the manner and direction for which
il was scheduled. but always hoped
off some other way. This Nike OF
his rarely went the way he had
planned for her. She simply would
not U true TO form. She kept him
guessing.

stronger will Of the opposite sex

Solly's philosophy, she might as well
quit and 20 out and get herself an
other, for he is already on his way.
Pat Sweeney had trained in a city
where. perhaps, self-preservation has
come to be not only the first, but the
most essential law of nature. This
city also is the leading city in the
game Of hi-jacking. Here the prac-
tice has been reduced TO a fine art.
If there were any tricks in the game
with which Pat, during the period Of
his political activity had not become
familiar with. they had been invented

standing may, perhaps, condone
much that transpired later.
Father Ryan had seen something
Of this little by-play that had pre-
ceded the start of the trip to Pitts
burg. He had also met and talked
with Mary Sweeney on two OF three
occasions previous TO that day. II.
in his talks with the girl Father Pat
had arrived at n conclusion re-
garding her, he kept it well hidden
beneath the mask Of benevolent ge-
niality he wore at all times.

owner had boosted it would do, car

he whispered TO Peter Justin. who,
with Jill and himself, occupied the
rear seat.
Il would say twelve thousand, at
least" replied Peter. always gener-
Gus with his estimates and willing to
contradict his son-in-law. for whose
sagacity in money matters he had
conc TO have a small contempt. He.
too. had observed Jacks admiring
glance at the Sweeney girl and loved
him not the more for il.
The run 10 Pittsburg was made in
six hours. Nothing of any particu-
lar Importance marked the journey.
except. perhaps, the utter lack Of
interest the two women seemed to
inspire in each other. Pat Sweeney
honestly and earnestly endeavored
at intervals TO get the two started
in conversation. His efforts were a
total failure.

casionally ordering goods from mail-order houses.
What difference does it make" one resident re-
Marked "if send few dollars to mai-order houses
every and tnen?"
Were her particular the only of its
ture in the city, it would make but little difference,
but individual cases IN the aggregate do make great
deal of difference. She is only one of hundreds who
doing the thing she is doing. 1t is the small
buyers that keep the mai-order houses going While
we have no way of knowing what the ma-orders
average in any particular house. yet is safe to say
that the sum IS only few dollars
The $2.9e you send away today is not much in
ITSELF but when it is pooled with hundreds of other
Ike amounts it makes substantial sum. That So. 2.98,
or SO cents or however small the amount may be- is
a very important matter in every mail-order house.
The small form by far the greatest part of the
millions of dollars of ma-order business done in this
country every year.
So spend your So. .98's with local merchants. If
you do that you Will not only be helping them and
your city, but will also be helping yourself by keep
ing more money in circulation here. If you spend
your So so here you stand chance of getting part
of it back day. but if you send away the entire
sum is taken out of local circulation.

THIS TIME MAY COME.

The time may
When someone will not be extoing the "good
old days..
When oldsters will not be viewing with alarm
the goings-on among the young people.
When the comic sheets will not pretend that
husbands henpecked.
When reporter, detective and parson on
the stage in the movies will resemble reporter
a detective and parson in real life.
When popular magazines will think up some new
way to adorn their covers without glorifyng the Am
erican girl.
When man will work as hard he leads his
wife and his friends to think he works.
When cynics will not be knocking the church and
the church will not be knocking the world.
When an empoye admits he is being paid all
he's worth.
When professional reformers admit that society
is O. K. and voluntarily quit their jobs.
When gives up his automobile and ex-
plains that he cannot afford
When somebody will not be prophecying that the
world is coming to end.
When suckers will not be stung by fake invest
ments saesmen. ia
When bores will not take the perfunctory
chow are you?" as an invitation to give "organ
recital.
Yes the time may come But we don't expect to
be alive to enjoy that milennial dawn!
It must be wonderful to feel of your
self that it isn't necessary to act hard-boiled
The rules always seem fair to the who is
winning, and any system of government seems good
to millionaire. -

WHY TALK ABOUT 1T?

The attempt to make prohibition issue IN Ari-
approaches the limit of asininity.
Whichever candidate is elected president will
not affect the situation in Arizona with reference to
prohibition in the slightest degree.
If majority of the states of the union to
repeal the Eighteenth Amendment and Congress
were to abolish the Vostead Act tomorrow, Arizona
would still remain dry
There would still remain the Arizona statute
prohibiting liquor traffic in this state.
That law was adopted by majority vote of the
people of Arizona.
It will remain upon statute books in full
force and effect until It is repealed in the
ner. q w-
No matter what the nation as a whole may do
on the liquor question the state of Arizona will
main dry until such time the electors of this state
by big majority, express their will at the polls
in favor of return to moister standard of living.
So why talk about it?

OBSERVE SAFETY RULES!

Tuesdays papers recorded the deaths of two
prominent citizens of Maricopa county, by accident
One, we'll known contractor and builder of
Tempe, was accidentally shot and killed near Pay
son when fur cap which he was wearing was mis-
taken for deer by another hunter
The other, a prominent cattleman and rancher
of the Castle Hot Springs country, was crushed to
death when another automobile crashed into the rear
of his car while he was changing tire. He had
stopped to repair the tire and had parked on the
highway for that purpose.
The pity is that so many sad accidents could be
avoided if the ordinary safety rules were observed
In the first case the hunter had worn fur cap
:nto the brush despite the fact that the state game
warden had broadcasted warning to all hunters be-
fore the opening of the game season. urging them to
red cap, or some other garment of red before
going into the woods.
In the second instance, the unfortunate victim
had violated safety rule which stpulates that one
should not park their the highway. To park
a car on the rosdbed in the face of modern swift
moving traffic is to invite disaster It is not only
dangerous to the person who parks a car on the
road, but to all other travellers as we'll Every year
records several fatal accidents caused by collisions

parking of cars on the roadbed wherever it is DOS
