nouncement was made by Governor

at Austin.
"My record is written," Governor
Allred said in reviewing the accom-
plishments of his administrations.
"It can be changed neither by com-

that having given the best in me, I

FORMER ALTO GIRL
MARRIED AT RUSK
Miss Mozelle Jones, formerly of
A!to, but now residing in Rusk, was
united in marriage Friday night to
Mr. Kenneth Roberts of that city,
Rev. Calhoun, pastor of the Rusk
Presbyterian Church performing the
'.vedding rites.
Immediately after the ceremony
the young people left for points in
Oklahoma for a weeks honeymoon.
Heraid readers in both Alto and
Rusk extend congratulations to the
happy young peopie and wish for
them a long and happy life.

Greeks, and was schooled in all the
[earning and culture of the famous
universities of Alexandria. It is no
wonder then, that her beauty and
wit turned the heads and busted up
the homes of the boys from the
Eternal City. Alexandria was the
seat of learning at that time, and it
is one of the worid's greatest trag-
edies that the conquerors of Egypt
destroyed the magnificent libraries,
which held the knowledge and wis-
dom of the ancient world.

The papers are full of Nazi per-
secution of the Jews in Austria since
Hitler has taken over Austria for
Germany. The Jews practically con-
trol the money of the world. Since
they have the money, it seems strange
to the rest of us that they do not buy
them a country of their own, move
into it and stay in it when they get
there. The Hebrew nation was once
a cultured and powerful country.
The Jews of the world could build
another as strong or stronger. As a
people the Jews do not amalgamate
with the other races with whom they
live and do business. The only way
the Jews ever will [preserve their
nationaiity, obtain peace and security,
is to own and control a nation of
their own.

It looks iike we are going to have
a navy second to none, with an ap-
propriation of a biilion dollars for
40 war ships, 22 auxiiiaries, 950 air-
planes. The United States just as
weil acquire fighting equipment
equai to any other country. The fact
that a nation is peaceful, does not
mean it is secure from agression. In
the year or two past we have had too
many demonstrations of helpless
countries being swailowed up by in-
vaders. But the strongly fortified na-
tions have not been attacked. This
within itself is excuse enough for
ample armament protection.

Mr. Chiid has been here all this
week supervising the work on the
building and getting fixtures in-
stailed, and he stated that the Alto
store would be up-to-date in every
department, they hoped to give this
city a store that the citizenship would
be proud of.
A compiete line of groceries, fresh
and packing house meats wiil be
handied by the new store, and the
fact that Chiid's also operate a
whoiesale department gives them an
opportunity to buy in iarge quanti-
ties and operate on a smail profit
scale, thus allowing them to sell to
the consumer at much lower prices
than they couid without the whoie-
sale connection.
STARVED TEXAS TICKS
DEADLY AS EVER
In Washington last week a colony
of 21 Texas ticks, unfed for about
seven years, proved to the U. S. Pub-
lic Heaith service that they were not
only very much alive but also as
deadly as If they had been on a
biting spree all the time.
Dr. Edward Francis said he turned
seven of the starved bugs loose on a
monkey and the animai was stricken
with relapsing fever. Dr. Francis was
stricken with the disease last year
during his experiments with ticks
and recovered.
His experiments have indicated, he
said, that ticks can survive on mois-
ture alone. For almost seven years
he has been keeping the ticks in pine
boxes embedded in moistened sand.

miies per hour. I was just simply
born with more pride than that. But
now since the state passed the law
prohibiting faster driving than 45 I
simply rare back and enjoy driving
that old 30 model the best kind.
No, no, I didn't have anything to
do with passing the law. But I am
for it anyway. 45 miies is fast enough
for anybody to drive and just even
45 miies too fast for some. But you
know I am persuaded I saw some
folks pass me the other day who were
going faster than that. Or maybe my
speedometer was not right. But iistert
you folks if you are there—at church
next Sunday I am not going to tell
who it was, but if you are not, I am
going to teil everybody.
That reminds me. We are to begin
that special series of meetings April
the third and continue for two weeks.
We want everyone in town and coun-
try to do their best and feel like it
is your meeting. We want everyone
to feel weicome. It will be as near
oid time meeting as is in our power
to make it. I want it to be the kind
that makes folks religious and
makes folks happy. Lots of you folks
think you are sick. You thi.^ you
have a bad liver. You can't sleep at
night. You are miserable in day time.
You fuss at your wife or your hus-
band and got a general groucn on.
Well, aii in the world wrong w*h you
is you are backslidden and won't ac-
knowledge it. Why you old hypo-
crites, if your old body had not had
a water bath since your soui had had
a spiritual bath you would be so
stinking the buzzards wouldn't pick
you.
Come on down to big meeting.
Don't wait til! the revivai time. It is
now on. I think it would look a lot
nicer for you to come of your own
accord than to have to be carried in
by the undertaker. But some of you
will never come till the undertaker
brings you. That's going to be bad
for you. We wiil be glad to see you
at aii the services.
