STATE PLANS TO CUT TAXES

Austin, Tex.—(UPl- Refugio coun-

ty has reached the goal of political endeavor—support of government without taxes.

It has set an example that Gov. Ross Sterling will try for the en- tire state. It has run its county af- fairs on money obtained from oil and gas wells.

When the Refugio field was de- veloped, the county commissioners, decided that the big plot of ground surrounding the county court house was as likely a spot for oil as any other territory.

Their guess proved correct. Oil royalties supplanted county taxes.

The state will endeavor to get part of its governmental expense from oil under the Sabine river in the East Texas oil field.

For lack of 15 votes, the attempt must be delayed until then. Those 15 votes would have passed the oil exploitation bill with an emergency clause making it effective at once.

Then a mineral board, composed of the governor, state land commis- sioner and chairman of the state railroad commission, can either lease the river bed, make a contract for drilling in it, or negotiate for a sale of the “oil in place.” The pur- chasers of the oil in its place under the river could only be holders of leases along the banks. They could withdraw it through their wells near the river.

Governor Sterling estimates the river has 1.000 acres of oil land in the river bed. Production is estimat. ed at 20,000,000 barrels.

Reno Mayor Says Citizens Prosper

Ikiiu, Nev. — (UP> — Winter will bring no strain to the citizens of Reno. There are no unemployed here.

Mayor E. E. Roberts said that no

plans were being made to feed the unemployed this winter because there were none.

Chamber of Commerce officials added to Roberts’ statement, ex-

plaining that Reno is “doing busi- ness as usual.” They admitted that a few transients might be without work here but that these were kept moving.

Teachers in Chinese School Have Hard Jobs

San Francisco—(UP)—Teachers St the Commodore Stockton school, in the heart of Chinatown, have one of the hardest jobs in educational circles. Before they teach the three R’s they must teach their pupils English.

Bright-eyed, with near, square- ly cut hair the Chinese pupils learn the language step by step through impressions of the mean-

ing of English words in relation to the simple experiences of their home lives.

Bright colored pictures, panto- mine and acting are used. Then, when they understand the lan- guage, they begin more formal education.

Smithsonian Expert Finds 20,000-Year-Old Shell

Paris—(UP)—J. Townsend Rus- sell, curator of old world archeology at the Smithsonian institution, has discovered a triton shell 20,000 years old.

He found the shell this summer

in the Cave of Marsoulis, Haute- Garonne, where he has been in charge of co-operative excavation carried on by the University of Toulouse and the Smithsonian in- stitution.

The 20,000-year-old triton shell is the first of its kind ever reported from the paleolithic or Old Stone Agi*.

Husbands as Cooks. From The New York Times.

The Independent Woman pre- sents in its October number an article on the achievements of men in woman’s sphere—the kitchen. "Men who venture into a kitchen almost always come out good cooks.”

Those whose business leaves them little time for homely enjoyment find the greatest delight in cook- ing. Give a traveling salesman the freedom of the kitchen and he will have a fine time “indulging all his suppressed culinary desires.”

The actor husband of the author of “My Husband Cooks” can work wonders with a two-burner stove in a tiny kitchenette. He does his own marketing and plans his menus. For example “shrimp cocktail with a real zest to it; spaghetti with a rich sauce that cannot be bought in a can or ordered in a restaur- ant; crisp endive making a pat- tern with cool slivers of orange; coffee that would satisfy a connois- seur."

“When my husband cooks, he wrecks the kitchen, but we eat magnificently.” A fine disregard for a mounting stack of dirty dishes is the sure mark of a good cook. No confection to delight the palate was ever produced by a cook who kep> one eye on the dishpan.

Burned Him Up. From Pathfinder.

“But she told me she was a wid- ow and showed me a vase on the mantel that she said contained her husband's ashes.”

“Yeah, I fell for that gag, too, until I arrived 30 minutes before time one day and caught her hus- band knocking the ashes off his cigar into that vase.”

STRANDS OF IIAIR EVIDENCE Muskegon, Mich. —(UP)—Strands

Farmer Models in Clay And Works in Field

Fort Wayne, Ind.—(UP)—Model- ing clay taken from a well at his home is the hobby of Harold Rupel, who lives near here.

After a day’s-work plowing or

Lack of money has hindered his work. ‘‘If I could sell some of the stock, or get a fair price for farm produce, I could get money to have the mold cast,” he explained.

Despite his handicapped condi- tions, Rupel is an untiring student of art. He recalls that one book "actually cost $2.”

BY FRANCIS T. MARTIN

In Sioux county, Iowa, John Cambier has had plenty of con- tacts with the strenuousness and seriousness of Business life. For nearly a third of a century he has been an active participant in its business affairs, and when he need- ed more elbow room, he launched similar enterprises*in towns in ad- jacent counties. Northwest Iowa has a close acquaintance with this strong, virile, self made, self con- stituted type of business man, whose undertakings are successful because of the effort, energy and enthusiasm that is put back of them.

Cambier was born in New York state, and his first glimpse of Sioux county was in 1883 when his par- ents moved to a farm but a short distance from Orange City. Young Cambier liked the farm and its as-

sociations, but youth is restless, it always is seeking for new worlds to conquer, and its aspirations and ambitions demand fulfillment.

It is now 27 years since Cambier went into business in a general way in Orange City, and it seems unnec-

essary to say that he prospered with the passing years. His businesses along different lines registered as

success, which is a complete demon- stration of the sufficiency of his methods. He’s the ultra modem type of businessman, the kind that has no acquaintance with defeat, who would not recognize defeat or

failure if he was to meet them face to face in the street. When Cambier made good on the “street" his mind turned to farming and good livestock. He is farmer and livestock minded.

He could not overcome the al- lurements of the soil, for the soil has a way of “getting its man." Therefore, when he got a suffi- ciency of other pursuits, his ac-

tive, vigorous mind turned to the conquest of the soil, he longed to cultivate it, in other words, to delve into its mysteries and ramifications. Today, Cambier has that farm, and its setting is one of pretentiousness. That farm, just on the outskirts of

town, is what one would expect from such a man as Cambier.

He lives there, and it’s a real home, inviting and attractive. Cam- bier’s first purchase of improved livestock was when he established his herd of Polled Herefords. Orange City, as is generally known, Is the “capital” of Polled Here-

around for ways and means of get- ting more money out of the pockets of the people into the federal treas-

ury. Right now the popular pockets are well nigh empty, and every extraction hurts. Good citizens have always been willing to support their

?;ovemment, just as a father is wili- ng to support his son. But now

the question has become compli- cated. With a bunch of wild mave- ricks in congress straining them- selves to throw public money around like a party of drunks the taxpayer is likely to become reluctant and feel grouchy. A good father will sometimes refuse to give more to an irresponsible and dissipated son. We have too many legislators right now who are trying to raid the staggering treasury for enormous and wasteful hand-outs to serve

political ends. They even stoop to the idiotic argument that “circula- ting the money” is sufficient rea- son for spending. Now, if ever, is

er’s ancestor. Friedrich Pfoersching, General Pershing's German ances-

tor, who emigrated from the Pal- atinate to Philadelphia in 1732, also is mentioned in the issue.

HEY THERE. ELMER! Jacksonville, Fla.—Has anybody

seen Elmer Thompson? Herbert E. Ross, the Jacksonville postmaster, is trying to find him r r that Mrs. M. Beesher, aSn Jose, Cal., can offer him her hand in marriage. Mrs. Beesher once refined Thompson, she recently wrote Hogs, to marry another. Thompson left for parts unknown. Beesher, however,

fordom In Iowa and, naturally, Cambier favored the muley Here- ford. He has a good herd, one that will measure up with the best be- cause of the fact that it was found- ed along lines which ensure tha quality of its output.

Then, there is the Belgian stud, not large, but one of quality. This stud is headed by Marquis da Hemel, a famous prizewinner at leading state fairs, and a sire of pronounced ability. In Poland China breeding, Cambier has sought the best in merit, breeding and pro- ductivity. This Poland collection is a ranking collection, and Cam- bier takes a Justifiable pride in its maintenance.

No man has given more thought to the buying of foundation mater- ial. and when boars are bought for herd heading purposes, they’ve got to be real ones to fill the bill. The best blood of the breed has gone into the making of this Poland Chi- na herd, and it’s a natural assump- tion that it will make its influence felt in the days to come.

Cambier knows the worth and value of good hogs in the farming scheme, he know's that good hogs are an absolute essential if cornbelt farms are to prosper as they should. One can’t run a farm ef- ficiently, and successfuly without the hog. Because of the hog, Iowa as a state has forged ahead, agri- culturally. The hog has a large part in the agricultural picture for he is an “easy” money maker. That’s why breeders are leaving no stone unturned to keep their re-

spective breeds at a high standard of efficiency. Good hog breeders are abreast of the times. They know the public is critical. The average farmer of today know's what he wants when buying his boar to sire his yearly crop of pigs. He takes no chances in the buying of the inferior kind for he knows that he will pay dearly in the end if he makes a poor selection. Cam- bier knew the elements that stands for success in hog breeding when he started to breed the Polands. He got good blood, and he combined good blood with superior individual- ity. That’s the whole thing in a nutshell in improved livestock breeding. The man who will put individual merit, and pedigree to- gether in his livestock ventures will go forward to success. The future has bright things in store for the Cambier collection of Poland Chi- nas.

Family Cat Saves Children from Rattler

Rawlins. Wyo.—(UP)—They tell the story here of a house cat, that saved three children from a rattle- snake.

The reptile, one with eight rat- tles and a button, was crawling towards the children. The cat pounced on the snake. The rattler coiled. Te cat sprang away. The snake uncoiled and again the cat jumped to the attack. After this procedure was repeated several times, adults killed the rattler.

Dangerous complications can follow the neglect of “a common cold!'’ J'.vcry case of tonsilitis began with "‘just a sore throat!” It’s a wise plan to take aspirin after any undue exposure to bad weather, or whenever there is any chance that you’ve caught cold.

Western Devices Find Their Way Into Tibet

Until Colonel Younghusband’s ex-

pedition from India climbed and

fought its way Into Lhasa in 1904, Tibet was most effectively closed to the outside world. Its very physical inaccessibility made It easy for Its

hardy and truculent Inhabitants to maintain their cherished Isolation, while the currents of world progress swept by the mountain gates of the

mysterious nnd forbidden land. How-

ever, we bear now that many of the devices of western civilization are

beginning to llnd their way into the

country, surreptitiously but surely. Seltzer bottles that make water go

uphill and safety razors to take the

place of tweezers ore among the In-

novations. Also the women are re-

ported to be adopting the lipstick, though soap has not yet been intro- duced. And since with the coming of modernity time becomes a factor in life, wrist watches have been seen

in the lnnes of Lhasa. Whatever the obstacles, trade will find a way to satisfy widespread human desires, nnd contraband satisfactions are be-

ing “bootlegged” into Tibet much as

they are in other lands.

This Little Girl Got Well Quick

“Just after her third birthday, my little daughter, Con- nie, hud a serious attack of intestinal llu,” says Sirs. II. W. Turnage, 217 Cad- walder St., San An-

tonio, Texas. “It left her very weak and pale. Her bow- els wouldn’t act right, she had no

appetite nnd nothing agreed with her. "Our physician told us to give her

some California Fig Syrup. It made her pick up right away, and now she is as robust and happy ns any child in our neighborhood. I give Califor- nia Fig Syrup full credit for her

wonderful condition. It Is a great thing for children.”

Children like the rich, fruity taste of California Fig Syrup, and you can

give It to them as often as they need it, because it is purely vegetable. For over 50 years leading physicians have recommended It, and Its over-

whelming sales record of over four million bottles a year shows It gives satisfaction. Nothing compares with It as a gentle but certain laxative, and It goes further thun this. It regulates the stomach and bowels and gives tone and strength to these organs so they continue to act nor-

mally, of their own acoord. There are many Imitations of Cali-

fornia Fig Syrup, so look for the name “California” on the carton to

be sure you get the genuine.
