M. GRIMES JH. MMOUiiCES FOR
ICOtniTV JUNE OF
E. M. Gimea Jr.. of Schwort-
ner this county cashier of thoj
First National -Baffle ot tnat piace
has authorized The Tribune
to announce his candidacy for
I- rtAimtv Attti i WiHnmiuin coun
ty subject to the action of tho
Democratic primaries of July
next.
In speaking of his candidacy
tho Taylor Democrat says :
"Mr. Grimes needs no introduc
tion to the people of Taylor
where he resided for seven years
and won the universal respect
rind esteem of our entire citizen-
ship. He came to Taylor in 1917
and for seven years was connect
ed with Taylor banks.first with
the City National andjaftenvard
with the First National as ni--siatant
cashier.
Mr. Grimes attended the Uni-
versity of Texas for two yean
where he studied law. Leaving
the University in 1913 he organi
zed and successfully operated a'
bank in Harrison County where
he remained for three years.
In 1917 ho came to Taylor to
accept a position with the City
National Bank and later went
to tho First National. In al he
resided here for a period of seven
years.
In 1924 he went to Schwert-
ner to accept the position of cash
ier of the First National Bank
of Schwertner with which in-
stitution he has been associated
over snee and still holds the po
sition of cashier.
Mr. Grimes is a business man
of proved ability and his friends
are confident that would if elect
ed give Wiliamson County an
able adminstration as its county
judge. The office of county jud-
ge does not necessarily have to
be filled by a graduate lawyer
Mr. Grimes enjoys training in
both business an the law hav-
ing in addition to his twelve
years' experience as a banker
spent two years in the study of
law at the University which
thus dpubly equips him for the
office which 1 e seeks.
So far Mr. Grimes is the only
candidate announced and it is
not known assuredly as yet
whether or not he will have op--position
but in any event it is
already assured that he will en-
joy a liberal huppcrt from the
people of his old home town of
Taylor1 as well as over the coun-
ty at large and his friends feel
that if elected; he will make a
most capab'e presiding judge
''and give his county an able busi-
ness and legal administration as
counfy judge."
Mr. Grimes is well and favor-
ably known in this section of
Williamson county and will
have a strong following in sup-
port of his candidacy for tho of-
fice he seeks.

NEW YEAR GREETING
RECALLS DAYS WHEN
HIRED GIRL GOT $2. k
George Neu in his column in
the Brcnham Banner-Press gives
a letter which recalls the days
away back yonder when things-
were different. It is version of
the question "Do yqu remember
away back when?" and Neu
savs tho letter came as a now
vnnr inWtlnir t. nnn of hn fol-
low Rotarians from a friend in s Inrge as it was three Sundays
New York. The letter is as fol- ago when they first came. The
lows: church is taking on new life un-
"Dear Friend: You can re- der tnc'r supervision and man-
member when eggs wore a bit a . agement and the future of the
dozen : butter 10 cents a pound
and milk 5 cents a quart. . The
butcher1 gave away liver and
treated the kids to bologna. The
hired girl received two dollars
per week and did the washing.
Women did not powder and paint
smoke vote play poker or roll
their stockings.
"Men wore whiskers and
boots chewed tobacco spit on
the sidewalk and cussed. Beer
was 5 cents and tho lunch was
free. A day's work was ten
hours and there were no strikes.
No tips were given to waiters
and the hat-check grafter was
unknown. Horse hair furniture
a kersone hanging lamp and a
steroscope were luxuries.
"Appendicitis was unknown
and there was no market for
monkey glands. Microbes were
unheard of and a doctoifs visit

"A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

A WORD OF WARNING.
"We must get away from this
one-crop idea of planting only
cotton otherwise our people will-
be ruined some yenr."
This warning sounded by Presi-
dent R. Q. Lee of the West Tex-
ras Chamber of Commerce who
has launched a campaign to
stress the importance of inten-
sive and diversified farming for
his section of Texas.
President Lee is a successful
man of affairs.
It is his contention that it is
only a question of time when
there wll be favorable growing
seasons throughout the entire
cotton belt and some 20000000
bales of cotton will be raised
more than can ever be sold in
one year and which he says will
spell absolute ruin for those who
are engaged in the farming in-
dustry. He has a remedy. Texans
must grow their1 own food and
feed. They spend 55 per cent of
their income for food and feed.
His advice is that this high per-
centage should be greatly re-
duced if not wiped out -entirely.
These West Texans produced
a large crop of cotton last year.
They may go in strong for" cot-
ton this year. President Lee is
telling them to plant food-stuffs
and feed-stuffs to diversify all
along the line to fill their corn-
cribs and their smoke-houses
and to pay attention to the poul-
try industry.
This advice that should be
taken by all people in all sections
of Texas as well as by the people
of Central Texas.
Why go to Missouri for bacon
and Kansas for corn? Why
spend $150000000 every year
for food-stuffs and feed-stuffs
which coud be produced under
Texas Skies? Dallas News.
FOR WORKING PEOPLE
The best workers get out of
sorts when the liver fails to act.
They feel languid half-sick
"blue" and discouraged and
think they are getting lazy.
Neglect of these symptons
might result in a sick spell
therefore tho sensible course is
to take a dose or two of Herb-
ine. It is just "the medicine
needed to purify the system and
restore tho vim and ambition of
health. Price 60c. Sold by

R FIFE TALKS TO
MANY FOLK.
Thft Vfivivnl HM-virnci nf lio
irat Christian church corner of
I'ranklin and Mechanic streote
conducted by Dr". and Mrs. Rog-
er H. Fife the new ministers of
tho church are continuing to
grow in interest and tho attend-
ance at both services Sunday
were the largest so far. The
Sunday school was three times
church seems brighter than in
several years.
Dr. Fife's sermon Sunday mom
ing on "Heaven" was geratly en-
joyed as was also the special
sermon to women Sunday even-
ing. There were four more con-
versions and additions to the
church during the day. Tho
meetings will continue through
this week. Every sermon this
week is a special one. This even
ing at 7:15 o'clock he will preach
on baptism: "Does the Bible
Teach Baptism; if So. What Is
It?" Wednesday: "Shall We
Observe the Sabbath or" Lord's
Day?"- Thursday: "The Holy
Spirit." Friday: "Why Bo a
Christian?"
A program of special interest
is being prepared for next Sun-
day and preparations are being
made to care for the large audi-
ences that will be in attendance.
The climax of last Sunday's
services was reached: in the even
ing when the services were in
the hands of the ladies and a
special sermon for women was
given. Mrs. Roger H. Fife wife
of the pastor" presided and it
was with such grace that it
brought forth outbursts of ap-
plause from the audience. She
is very popular with all who
meet her. She is teaching a Sun-
day school class of young ladies
and young men and it is grow-
ing so rapidly that a larger room
in the church will be provided
for them.
Tho Ladies' union of the
church will serve dinner at the
church Wednesday from 11 a.
m. to 1 p. m.
Te revival will continue thru
this week and perhaps longer.
The services begin at 7:15 each
evening. The Jackson (Michi-
