Water for all purposes for the
next fifty years is the long-range,
comprehensive blue-print of the
estate’s No. 1 problem, as outlined
and presented recently by the West
Texas Chamber of Commerce.
On its face, that looks like a
perfect set-up, deserving the sup-
port of all, but details of the plan
should have careful study.
A solemn warning has been
sounded to farmers by a national
farm journal, to guard carefully,
and now their rights. It states that
the legislature wisely refused to
pass a water code law, which might
have endangered the farmers’ sur-
face water rights. Supportevs of
that proposed law are, still very
active, and farmers should be on
the alert
This organization has a “muni-
cipal water prior rights commit-
tee,” which "will seejt recognition
of municipalities. as prior users
over all others.” That comrtrrttee
and its objective may be all right,
apd may not seek to rob farmers
wno undoubtedly hold prior rights
over all others to water which
falls on their land, but, as the
farm paper warns, they had better
beware.
Without delay, every farmer
January 16 la tho data an-
nounced by the Veterans Adminis-
tration that It will begia mailing
dividend checks to Texas veterans
on their National Life Insurance
Dividends. A total of $2.8 billion
will be distributed In the next six
months, with about $150,000,000
going to the 700,000 veterans in
Texas.
Statae commanders of service
organizations are taking part in a
drive to ask veterans to ‘'salt
away” part of their insurance divi-
dends in U. S. Savings Boqds as
| nest-eggs for the future. Nathan
Adams, state savings bond chair-
man said that dividend checks will
bear the campaign's slogan "Use
It Wisely—Buy U. S. Savings
Bonds” on the endorsement side.
"It is not the purpose of this
campaign to tell the veteran how
to use his dividend money,” Mr.
Adams said. “It is our purpose,
however ,to remind him that his
NSLI dividend gives him an op-
portunity to begin, or add too, a
sound savings plan to provide fu-
ture financial security for him-
self and his family.
In this country there’s a lot of
complaint with little suffering; in
some other countries there’s much
suffering with little complaint.
You hear u good many echoes in
the world, but mighty few real
voices.
W.E. Harty
Announces For
Co. Superintendent
The Graham Leader was author-
ised this week to announce the
candidacy of W. E. (Bill) Harty
for re-election to the office of
County School Superintendent of
Young county, subject to the ac-
tion of the Democratic ' primary
in July.
Mr. Harty has made an efficient
public official during his tenure
of office, striving at'all times to
give fair and impartial service
throughout the county.
With his knowledge thus gained
in this position, Mr. Harty feels
that he is better qualified to fill
this important office thun in the
past.
We ask that you give his candi-
dacy due. consideration when you
cast your vpte in.the July primary.
His formal announcement will ap-
pear at a later date.
