planted after the potatoes were
harvested. This is but an indi-

Thursday, and we each had to

Thursday evening at the home
of Mr., and Mrs. McDonald on
the Culberson Highway.
The ladies arrived at six-
thirty in costume and after
they had arrived, Mrs. Brown
explained that it was a Hallow-
e’en custom for the ladies to go
through the woods and fields in
search of their beaus, and so
they would start out and see
who they could find. After a
walk through the garden and
across the lawn of the McDon-
ald home they found their es-
corts parked at the edge of the
woods. This feature of the af-
fair was supposed to be a great
surprise, as the ladies were not
to know that the men had been
invited at all, but it proved
that "men can’t keep a secret”
for most of the wives had a
pretty good idea that they
would find their husbands there
After they had repaired to
the house, a delicious two-
course supper was served on
the bridge tables. Hallowe’en
motifs and appointments feat-

tables and the reception rooms.

lights, and the Hallowe’en col-
ors of yellow and black were

apple cider was served during
the meal and throughout the

ried out that added zest and
amusement to the games.

These assets make property
valuable; they made my invest-

it quite a little—in fact, it
seemed to trouble me.
I contributed my share to
the maintenance of the school,
and the park, and the fire and
police departments. The tax
collector took care of that. But
for several months I contribut-
ed nothing to the church. And
I grew ashamed.
I said to myself: "You are

better investment because the
church is here, representing as
it does, respect for law, and de-
cency and faith.

so much, and contributing noth

church’s breadline. I imagine
a good many other men would
feel that way if they were to
think the thing through. For
I know communities where peo
pie who call themselves the
best people are really getting
something for nothing at the
expense of the church. Some
of them are rich people, even
millionaires.

has been given, standing in the

Austin, Oct. 30—Restriction
of oil production in the East
Texas field on an acreage basis
instead of the per well plan
now in effect is favored by
Gov. Ross S. Sterling.
Returning to Austin from
Houston Thursday theeGovern-
or said he did not know when
the change to an acreage basis
of governing production will
be put into effect. He said some
thing must be done to restrict
drilling “and the only fair way,
it seems to me, is to limit pro-
duction on an acreage. basis.”
He said he intends to enforce a
plan of that nature through his
martial law administration of
the field as soon as an equit-
able acreage production figure
could be worked out.
Advocacy of the acre basis
was recommended at a mass
meeting of producers held in
Dallas Tuesday and the plan
will be explained to Governor
Sterling Friday by a delegation
headed by Charles F. Roeser
of Fort Worth. The Governor
said at least one producer has
protested the proposed plan and
that he will accord a hearing
to those interested.
