Reuben D. Talasek

Legislature
After thoughtful and serious
onsideration believing myself
o be qualified for the position
x have decided to announce my
candidacy for the office of State
Representative from Bell Coun-
ty Place 2. As is generally
known Bell County due to a
large increase in population will
now be served by two represent-
atives in the Texas Legislature
and I am seeking to serve you in
the newly created post which is
designated as Place 2.
Fully realizing the responsibil-
ities of a lawmaker I enter into
this campaign well aware of the
demands of the office and the
demand for and need of legislat-
ors who are varied in experience
and entirely familiar with the
needs and problems of the peo-
ple. I am 33 years of age married

Cotton Pickers
To Join Strippers
In Local Harvest
At least three cotton pickers
will join the cotton strippers in
use locally in gathering the cot-
ton crop in this vicinity this fall.
Recent purchasers are Barney
Douglas of Bartlett Wendler
Bros. (Fritz Jr. and Bob) who
live between Bartlett and Hol-
land and W. D. Davidson of
Granger.
The new owners are planning
to follow the crop from the val-
ley through west Texas and into
Now Mexico doing picking on a
commercial basis in addition to
their local use of the pickers
Wendler Bros owned a picker
last year and followed the crop
but sold it toward the end of
the season.
The pickers will cover an acre
an hour and pick the' open cotton
whether the yield is half a bale
or a ibale and a half. Green ibolls
and stalks are not damaged in
the process. With strippers the
cotton is defoliated first and
everything is stripped from the
stalk.
Some farmers prefer cottor
strippers some prefer the pick-
ers and some say that there is
nothing that will ever equa'
hand picking. With hand labor
scarce and sometimes high
pi'iced mechanical processes are
gaining in favor.

Bob Poage Seeks
Re-election On
Basis Of Record
To My Frends of thn Eleventh
Congressional District :
For many years you have been
more than kind to me. I appre-
ciate your support and I air
humbly thankful for the confi-
dence you have reposed in me.
I hope I have been able to justi-
fy your confidence.
Obviously it has been im-
possible for me to reflect the
views of eac'h citizen of oui
District. I have however al-
ways sought to serve the people
of our area both collectively and
individually.
I believe that all of us par-
ticularly in Central Texas are
dependent on agriculture for our
prosperity. Without a prosper-
ous agriculture we cannot en-
joy prosperity or even reason-
ably full employment in our
cities. I have therefore espec-
ially interested myself in the
problems of agriculture. I be-
lieve that in so doing I have
served every group in our entire
citizenship. I am now the Vice
Chairman of the Committee on
Agriculture of the House.
Farmers' wages as well as the
return on their investment is
measured by the price of farm
products. I have sought even
since I have Ibeen in Congress tc
secure fair prices for agricultur-
al products. We have not reach-
ed our goal but we have come

is the opinion of Mayor Leslie
Moore formed after hearing the
courages diseases such as polio
but much remains to be done.
That is the opinion of Moyor
Leslie Moore formed after hear-
ing the reports of inspecting
teams and doing some inspecting
himself in the clea-up campaign
and inspection last Wednesday
Inspectors gave more time tc
back yards and alleys than to
front yards. They did not over-
look the fact that many places
were beautiful and well kept ap
well as clean and they commend-
ed those who keep such places
but in this inspection their pur-
pose was to check sanitary con-
ditions. General faults found were too
many weeds in the residence
section garbage and rubbish not
completely burned in the incin-
erators in the business section
and hogs in violation of a city
ordinance and outdoor privies
rot properly cleaned and cared
for in the colored section of
town.
A record was made of specific
complaints and a recheck is
planned on these items.
Dr. C. H. Crawford city
hpalth officer in his inspectior
of Salt Lake found that too
much of the clearing had been
yard cleaning. Seme places he
commended highl". but unsani-
tar privies and tve presence of
hos he ondemnr 1 bitterly.
Inspecting teams were com-
posed of member of the city
council one other man and ten
ladies who volunteered to assist.
More were expected to assist but
did not show up.
Continued efforts is being
urged by the mayor and city
council in en effort to keep the
city clean and free of polio
threats throughout the year

been suggested by one council
member.
Funds For Two
More Foggings Of
City Near Goal
Contributions to date in the
campaign originated Iby the
Chamber of Commerce to raise
funds for two additional spray-
ings of the city total $152. The
goal is $170.
Two of the contributions made
account for half of the total re-
ceived. Thev were a check for
$50 from E. M. (Doc) Wilson
and one for $25 from Mrs. W.
W. Walton.
The sprayings will be handled
by the city government' as they
have in the past with the woi'k
being done with equipment rent-
ed from Granger.
In this war on flies and other
insects it is recommended that
there Ibe liberal use of hand
sprays to accompany the city
fogging. Hand spraying gets
directly to the breeding places
of such insects and makes the
general fogging much more ef-
fective and longer lasting.
Davilla Church
Plans Singing
The Davilla Church will be the
scene of an afternoon singing
Sunday from 2 until 4 o'clock.
Many visitors are expected for
the occasion among them the
Friendly City Quartet of Aus-

is to be held on the second Sun-
day afternoon in each month A
hearty welcome is extended tc
all singers.
