statement read for him today
at the convention of the Adver-
tising Federation of America,
“I am willing to stake my re-
putation, based on thirty years
of experience—
“1. That business has seen
its worst.
"2. That, although the change
will be slow, it will be in the
right direction.
3. That, within a reasonable
time, this country will again
enter a period of marked pros-
perity.
“In short, statistics point to-
day to another period of pros-
perity, the same as those three
years ago pointed to the pres-
ent period of depression.
“As you go back home, tell
your merchants that now is the
time to advertise and give their
customers an opportunity to
.benefit from present low prices.
Some day these merchants who
take your advice will be so
pleased that they’ll have these
ads of 1931 cut out and framed.

A revival meeting began at’
the Methodist church Wednes-
day, which will continue for
two weeks. Rev. Gus Klein of
Memphis, Tenn., general evan-
gelist for the Memphis Confer-
ence, is doing the preaching and
the music is under the direct-
ion of Joe Grant. The Rev. Mr.
Klein conducted a meeting last
year at Whitesboro, where Rev.
R. L. Ely was pastor, and his
work upon that occasion was
so successful that he has been
asked to come to Deport.
Rev. Klein is not a sensation-
alist, but preaches a simple gos-
pel message of salvation and
right living, according to Rev.
Ely, and all the people in this
section are cordially invited to
hear him.
Services are being conducted
on the lawn at the rear of the
church, where it is cool and
comfortable, and it is urged
that the people join in making
this meeting a success.

Uncle Bob Hutchison brought
The Times editor the first
cotton bloom of the 1931 crop
that he has seen. It was found
on the farm of his son, C. D.
Hutchison, in the Independence
community on Tuesday morn-
ing. The first bloom this year
is a week later than last.
Due to the small amount of
precipitation during the spring
and early summer, growth of
cotton has been rather spotted.
J. M. Johnson brought to The
Times office Wednesday two
stalks, one of which bore a well
developed bloom and the other
having only two leaves and be-
ing no more than two inches
high. These stalks were plant-
ed on adjacent rows about the
middle of April and while one
came up immediately the other
must have reached the surface
less than a week ago. The
bloom brought in by Mr. John-
son was the third reported.
Henry Nobles reported the sec-
ond and Doak Hutchison the
first.

grass. In many instances rank
weeds are growing where here-
tofore grass grew in abundance.
An explanation of this condi-
tion has not been made. It
may be that last year’s long
drouth and the dry spring of
1931 were responsible for the
failure of meadows. At present
the outlook for hay is not prom-
ising and farmers must look to
planted hay crops for the com-
ing season’s supply. Several

The derrick has been rebuilt
and it is reported that drilling
was resumed Thursday at the
Joiner-Harris well on the Howi-
son farm, north of Bogata. This
test has been shut down more
than a month following pulling
in of the original derrick and

one by a storm as it neared
completion. The bit had reach-

the derrick was pulled in by
weight of the drill stem.
Lumber is being hauled from
Cross Roads for the rebuilding
of the derrick at the Droppie-

rick, which replaces the one
blown down by a recent storm,
is completed, the well will be
finished,_____The rig was moved
away after it had been drilled
to a depth of 2800 feet.
