Saint Jo Has Worst
Dust Storm Sat.
The
SCOTCHMAN
Says.
The United States, the melting
pot of all the nations, seems to be
making a good job of it.
Bart was divorced because he had
always thought of himself as a
dashing lover and never as a plod-
ding husband.
The poor man's dog thinks it a
lot more fun to chase the cat tnan
to fare sump.iously.
Frugality, is not stinginess but
rather thrift; a trait we all would
do well to adopt.

Future Farmers
To Fat Stock Show
A checking dust storm, the wors'
that ever hit this city, blew intc
town at some 40 miles an hour last
Saturday afternoon about five
o'clock.
Visibility was quickly reduced to
less than two blocks and the gale
kept up the same high pace thru
most of the night.
A steady wind had been blowing
all day but the duster itself blew
up like a real storm. Within a few
minutes all the city lights were on
an dcare were creepin along at a
sail pace with lights burning.
Shortly after midniht the wind
velocity began dropping, the skies
cleared and Sunday morning only
a light breeze from the east was
felt.
The high wind and dust gathered
moisture from the wheat and oats
fields of Montague and Cooke coun-
ty, robbing the crops of badly
needed moisture and unless soon
follow ed by a rain will likely dam-
age the mall grain <yop to a pre-
cipitabe degree.
tion roofs were ruined and several
shingle roofs are also being repair-
ed. The roof of the Citizen Nation-
al Bank was damaged to such an
extent that itt Is still torn off thL,
week and a new one put on.
