Americans, who growl about the
high cost of living, ought to live
in Germany awhile. Latest reports
from that country show some start-
lingly high prices for certain foods.
A few typical examples are, per
•pound: beef tenderloin,. 68 cents;
hamburger, 33 cents; chicken, 45
• cents; butter 58 centsr coffee, $1.08;
sugar, 14 cents; a dozen eggs, GO
cents. These prices are for the
German worker whose basic wage is
between $17.50 and $20.50 for a
44-hour week.

W. W. "Hick" Hclcomb, former
editor of a panhandle weekly, but
for several years an employee under
Gov. Allred, in Secretary of State
Office, has ordered his name
changed to "HICK" as Holcomb ob-
jected to the name WILBUR. He
was the very successful manager of
the JERRY SADLER race for Rail-
road Commissioner, beating an old
line politician that had been in
office for fifty years. McDonald,
for Land Commissioner, also got
his "Britches" taken eff of him as
well as Terrell, the state "tit"
sucker for 50 years.
The Canyon News Editor believes
that to get the $30 a month old
nge pensions, as suggested by W.
Lee O'DANIEL, "we must crlppl'
existing departments and functions
of government." EDITOR WAR-
WICK has the wrong idea. We can
do away with the OLD AGE PEN-
SION BOARD v/hlch 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
h., miiiinn dollars wasted at this
Officers of the Texas Retail
Grocers Association wish to say
that we have encouraged, and will
continue to encourage, our members
to patronize as liberally as pos-
sible their local newspapers in the
matter of advertising. We do not
attempt to dictate nor presume to
control the members in this field;
but we believe that through honest,
press cur members can carry a real
consistent advertising in the local
message to their clients, to all of

couragement and assistance.—Ro-

Austin—The railing <5f tax money
to pay Increased pension benefits
to aged persons, and to provide
the State's share of other phases
of the social security program, in-
cluding aid for dependent children,
needy blliid pereons and teachers'
pensions, will constitute the No. 1.
problem of the hew legislature. It
doubtless will consume most of the
time of the four months' regular
session.
Next will come governmental eco-
nomy, and then will follow the in-
troduction of hundreds of bills,
some embodying the ideas of large
groups, others those of a single in-
dividual member of House or Sen-
ate. A few of these, usually those
backed by a substantial bloc of
public opinion, will be enacted,
while the great majority will be
good for a line or two in the news-
papers for a day, and then die by
the wayside, either in committee
or on the calendar.
Truck Problem Looms
The tax program, of course, will
depend largely upon the recom-
mendations and plans of the new
Governor, as embodied in his first
message. O'Danlel has been giving
concentrated study at his Ft. Worth
headquarters to this and'othA ad-
ministrative matters, but has been
keeping his own counsel upon de-
tails of what he 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 lias
battled bitterly and successfully to
curtail truck operations, has 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
fewer trucks that are operated on
hazard. It is identically the same
argument the railroads have used
in opposing laws to limit the length

Of
COWS WHILE Y
TEETH
Zane Qrey battled his way up
from discouragement and pwrty
to the position of being one of the
most widely read novelists on this
planet. And he did it While living
In the little village of Lackawaxen,
Pennsylvania, on the banks of the
Deleware River.
Editors have frequently paid Zane
Grey $75,000 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-
ple's teeth: But his heart wasn't
in his work, j
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 him 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 |

c'nts, and the lof« *of the
school, time, and the danger
involved ■ that it would be
wise for the band and'pep
squad not to attend this
game. The board also dis-
cussed proposed trips of the
two organizations to the
Phillips game and <j'a.s' of the
opinion that a real effort
should be made for atten-
dance at this game.
As a safety measure the
Board is insisting that every
ear which transports pop squad
and band members to the
Phillips Rame should have an
adult driver or an adult in
the ear.
Mr. Douglass says "While
the Board does not intend to
infringe upon the school of-
ficials plans, they keenly feel
the responsibility that exists
when practically ninety per
cent of the high school stu-
dents are on athletic trips."
Mr. Douglass l'eels that every
concern that even you will
cooperate toward the thing
for which the board is in-
terested which is the Safety
of the Student Body.
