hattled with her thoughts. She un-
derstood now much that had puzzled
her. She understood II since she had
found judy and Alan together. and
had discovered that they loved each
ether.
She remembered how strangely
Alan had behaved aF<ut judy and
Mr.. Gideon-hcw violent he had
even asked her To warn her friend
against the man. AT the time she
had thought him q little unreasOn-
able. NOW She understood that he
had been wildly jealous Of Gideon
But now, CT course. everything
would come right IN time. Alan
would ccme back. and he and Judy
would meet. Neither Of them dream
Cd that Chunmy had discovered
their secret. Time would do the rest.
She had only to play her part.
at this point poor Chummy rot

Mile and the Prison Lands

Lieut., Gov. Barry Miller q candidate for the office
Of governor. addressing a Br0wnwood audience, said:
II am unalterably opposed 70 selling the wonderful
land which the state now owns and which, properly
MANAGED. viii, In my Judgment, prove not only self
supporting but earn money for the upkeep of other
state institutions. I see no reason why what I un-
derstand to BE- a potential oil field on one OF these
farms should not be developed and if. as many ex-
ports believe. oil Is produced on il, it would solve the
economic side Of this question without b~urdening the
people with taxation"
Prison lands are the property OF the people OF Tex
as. Scouts and biologists have said, and said 1t many
times. that potential oil fields are included in the
property Of the people. II the prison lands could be
made oil producing lands. why shouldn't the prison
board do the drilling. bring in the wells. sell the oil
and place the coin III the treasury Of the state?
Where there is oil there is money-for someone.
Why not that someone the people who pay the
freight? If the drill is the thing. then why not drill
Tor the people? This is a reflection and not a rec
fermentation. why grow cotton in competition with
the farmer on potential Oh land? Just now the farmer
IS said TO be downtr0cden. taX-ridden. his pocket
book lean and his debts many. He is of the people.
And as the people own the prison lands. why not
make the most Of it?
There are II candidates for governor. Eight are in

Buyer: To the gulf. Of course.
Contractor: Yes, TO the Gulf, !

and what route does 1t follow
Buyer: Well, here's a lot OF blue
prints telling all about it. But i
don't like blue. SO I had the blue
prints made green with pink lines.
IT doesn't make any difference. does

Contractor: No, not at all. This
Is fine. You have everything here.
Very. very good. Now. how long
Is 1t to be?
Buyer. Well. ! don't know exactly.
But yCull find everything in the

wouldn't do you any good unless 1t
was deep enough to be nayigable for

Buyer. signing: Yes. I'm afraid
you're right. Well, 1 have an idea
here that I think Is very unusual.
Every channel or canal in the
country has just plain water. / think
10 would be cute IL u water was
colored. Red. or purple. or a pretty
shade Of orange. We could do It
very easily by dumping coioring ln II.
Don't you think it would be attIac-
tive?
Contractor: Yes, II would be n
usual, to Say the least. But I'm
afraid that 1t would scare the sailors.
They wouldn't know what To make
Of orange-colored water.
Buyer: I'm going to take II I'D
with the navigation commission,
anyway. And another thing. I think
that everytime a beat landed here.
We ought to give a party to the
ships officers.
Contractor. Listen. we haven't dug
this channel yet. You're jumping
too far ahead.
Buyer: I think you're mean. I'm
going % give this contract TO some

Coming Down the Home Stretch

AL the candidates for high or humble position are
coming down the home stretch. They have three
weeks to make the trip. A former state official. a
man who has held high position In official circles In
state and nation, summed 1t up to O Texas correspond
ent when he remarked Il have been over the state
campaigning and three-fifths Of the voters have not
made up their minds where to land in this battle for
the gubernatorial nomination" It IS the tamest
campaign In Texas history and this includes the cam
Of Sayers and Lanham for second terms.
There may be bitter local contests where fat county
offices are involved, but the show under the main tent
IS wholly devoid OF sensational features. 1t Is well
to keep the record straight as the procession passes by.
