of the social security pregram, Jn«

The Canyon News Editor believes
that to get the $30 a month old
age pensions, as suggested by W.
Lee O'DANIEL. "we must crippi1
existing departments and functions
of government." EDITOR WAR-
WICK has the wrong idea. We can
do away with the OLD AGE PEN-
SION BOARD which is unnecessary
and uncalled for, and let County
Judges and Clerks of each county,
who know more about those who
need pensions, than anybody else,
do this passing on pensions, with-
out any extra cost. If everybody are
to get pensions over 65 years of age
this board becomes obsolete and not
needed anyway, that will save a
few million dollars wasted at this
time. The state LIQUOR BOARD

tend to that work. This will save a
few more million of tax money
spent for a foolish and uncalled for
bureau. There are a few other bur
cents. These prices are for the

between $17.50 and $20.50 for a

W. W. "Hick" Holcomb, former
editor of a panhandle weekly, but
for several years an employee under
Gov. Allred, in Secretary of State
Office, has ordered his name

jected to the name WILBUR. He
was the very successful manager of
the JERRY SADLER race for Rail-
road Commissioner, beating an old

keeping his own counsel upon de-
tails of what lie will recommend.
Whatever plan he suggest, will na-
turally encounter sturdy opposition
from the group or groups which he
proposes to tax.
A determined effort will be made
in the new Legislature to enact
legislation regulating the use of
motor trucks upon the highways
and increasing the present limit of
7,000 pounds of net load that a
truck may carry. Persistent efforts
have been made to raise this load
limit, which was enacted back when
trucks used solid rubber tires, on
the theory that heavy loads would
damage the highways. Moderniza-
tion of motor trucks manufacture,
together with universal use of sci-
entifically designed pneumatic tries,
have largely removed this objection,
and the railroad lobby, which has
battled bitterly and successfully to
curtail truck operations, lias relied
largely during recent years upon
the argument that large loads mean
larger trucks and that a resulting
traffic hazard follows. The truck
people, who have carried on a vig-
orous campaign, have answered this
argument rather patly by showing
that the larger the truck load, the
fewer the number of trucks neces-
sary to move traffic, and that the
the highways, the lower the traffic
ltwer trucks that are operated on
hazard. It is identically the same

that it is an easy matter for the

2ane Qrey battled his way up
from discouragement and poverty
to the position of being qoe ot the
most widely read novelists on this
planet. And he did it While living
in the little village of Lackawaxen,
Pennsylvania, on the batiks of the
Deleware River.
Editors have frequently paid Zane
Grey 175,000 for only the magazine
rights to a story, even before the
story was written; yet he couldn't
sell his first few books for seventy
five cents. His publishers tell me
that they have sold more than a
million copies of Zane Grey's books
each year, for three successive years
but when he started writing, he
was such a failure that he went
cold and hungry.
His father insisted that he study
dentistry. Zane Grey had no more
desire to be a dentist than he had
to be a coal miner. But orders were
orders; so this man, who was des-
tined to become world-famous as
a story teller of two-gun men and
cattle thieves, studied dentistry,
opened an office In New York, and
spent years of his life filling peo
pie's teeth. But his heart wasn't
in his work.'
So determining to become a writ
er, he abandoned his profession
and moved to Lackawaxen, where
he could live economically and hunt
and fish while he was learning to
write.
He devoted all his time, for five
long years, to writing stories—and
his income during those five years
was absolutely zero. He made a
little money occasionally by playing
professional baseball in the sum-
mer time, but he made nothing
from his writing.
One day, when he was in New
York, trying to sell a story, he met
Colonel Buffalo Jones. Colonel
Jones wanted someone with a flair
for words to go out west with him
and write about the trip. It was
the first encouragement Zane Grey
had had. He jumped at the chance,
his heart thrilling at the prospect
of a real adventure.
After spending six months among
the cowboys and wild horses of
the west, he came home and wrote
a novel entitled "The Last of the
Plainsmen," This time he was posi-
tive he had a winner. So he sent
his manuscript to the publishing
house of Harper—and waited two
weeks. Unable to endure the sus-
pense any longer, he hurried to
New York and called on the pub-
lishers.
They handed liim his manuscript
and said, "We are sorry; but there
is nothing in this story to convince
us that you can ever write fiction."
He was absolutely crushed. He was
dazed. This was the fifth book
they had rejected. He couldn't have
been more stunned if someone had
hit him over the head with a club.
Reeling down the stairs, he grab-
bed a iamp post to keep from fall-
ing; and with his manuscript under
his arm. he leaned against that
lamp post, and wept.
He returned home, beaten and
crushed. He had been living on a
little money his wife had. They
were desperate. But his wife en-
couraged him to write still another
novel. It was in the dead of winter.
The tiny stove wasn't large enough
to heat the room, and his fingers
grew numb with cold as he wrote.
All through that winter, and far
into the next summer, he toiled

Frantic with despair, Zane Grey
pleaded with the editor to take the
manuscript home and read it him-

returned and the editor was all
smiles. He said, "My wife sat up
last night until almost daybreak
reading your story. She thinks It's
great. And so we're going to pub-
lish it."
The title of the book was "Herit-

At last, after years of poverty
and failure, Zane Grey was on his
way to become one of the biggest
money-making writers, and one of
