Slow Liquidation Process.

The same situation obtains aproau'
where money is becoming easier in the
open market and is readily available for
loans that are liquid, but remains tlgnt
otherwise. The banks of England and

The one class cannot be sold or the

Texas Legionnaires Are Advised
To Get BUSY

Hal Brennan Of Laredo is the new state command
er Of the American Legion of Texas. His executive
committee held a session. II adopted a resolutions. It
called for the creation Of a legislative commission
TO study unemployment and work out its solution.
It directed Commander Brennan to name a COM
mittee to sponsor the desired legislation. II directed
the naming Of a statewide committee to cooperate
with textbook firms in review and revision of books
used in public schools to eliminate inaccuracies and
TO overcome inadequate dealing with the so far prac-
tically unwritten history Of the World war"
Action was taken by the executive committee on
the pending constitutional amendment to pay II
West Texas counties on university lands within their
borders. 1t was voted that justice to these counties
requires that the lands return some revenues to the
counties in order that proper development may take
place.
Commander Brennan will make Austin his head
quarters during the winter months. He will be in po-
sition to get a closeup OF the governor and the law
makers as well as the distinguished patriots who
promise to make up the largest third house in his
tory. There will be a lot Of legislative log rolling this
winter and scientific legislative rollers 10 push along
the cause of those who will demand special legisla-
ton or feel called upon to strange bills which are
not to their special liking.

Addressing the delegates after his election. he said:
Il would rather be president Of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor than be president of the United
States. My own desire Is to sink self-conceit, to for
get all mental and physical desires to serve this great
movement with all the viior and power 7 possess"
He Is not paid a princely salary.
Mayor Jimmy Walker OF New York Is paid the
princely salary Of $4,000 a year. He promises to po-
htically efface himself at the close Of his second term.
He is weary Of his job. He is weary of his fellow
democratic leaders in the great city of New York. He
is on the sunny side of 40. He has an international
reputation He has been a globe trotter and broken
bread with crowned heads. "Al Is vanity" according
to Jimmy, and his melancholy admission Is that he
would rather be a private citizen. far from the mad
dening crowd, than seek a third term as mayor Of
the Metropolis of America. Is he a buffer or a dys-
peptic?

Diamond-Fine and dandy. I think it's made a
new man Of me.
Nurse-You look great.
Diamond-I really feel splendid. And to think how
7 always dreaded being shot
Nurse know how 1t Is. People just get the idea
it's painful.
Diamond-Loads of persons kept telling me that I
ought to be shot. but I kept putting it off.
Nurse-Its a good thing you didn't postpone it
much longer. It might have been serious.
Diamond with a sigh OF reler-Dont I know it?
I guess 7 was shot in the nick Of tirne.
Nurse know how you felt about It. You Just
didn't want to 60 through all the annoyances.
Diamond-Thats it. Well, anyhow, I let EN- shoot
me and I must admit that it's a wonderful change in
my general condition. I feel like a different person.
you have any idea how badly you
needed shooting?
Diamond-Oh. I knew something was wrong with
me. hadn't felt right in years. But i didn't think
it was a case that called for anything being done in
such a hurry.
Nwse-You were an emergency case, I guess.
Diamond-Absolutely. They didn't even give me
a chance TO pack my bag.
Nurse-Did it hurt you much?
Diamond-I hardly felt it.
Nurse-Its wonderful how they do things these
days.

didn't believe EN-. There's really nothing to it. All
YOU have to do is relax.
Nurse-1ts al over before you know anything about
it.
Dia~mond-Exactly. And they work so fast with
guns these days that there isn't even a nerve strain.
Nurse-when they came to shoot you did you try to
put 1t off?
Diamond-No. The minute I sew the guns I said
to myself. Well. they probably know what Is best
for me"
Nurse-You didn't have any more OF those head
aches you used TO complain of, do you?
Diamond (elate6ly)-Nct a sign OF EN-. I was shot
Just enough to cure me Of everything and make me

Adoo to get rid of the wheat it must be ground into
flour. packed IN sacks, sent to the local distributing
agencies the country over before it is turned into
bread for the hungry.
Mr.. McAdoo Is a Georgian BY birth. Why did he
overlook the numerous bales Of cotton purchased by
farm relief appropriations through the cooperative
agencies of the South and the Southwest? There
are rumors from Washington that the wheat prob
