According to information given

after their regular meeting last
Monday evening, that organization
is going to stage a dance either on
the 10th or 17th of July.
The affair will be held at the
local Civic Club and an attempt is
being made to book a “going” band
to do the music for the function.
This dance is not the annual affair
of the boys and will not meet the
magnitude of their annual event.
However, the boys promise a good
'‘'stomp,” and invite the public to

the dance.
A regular drill was also in order

MAVERICKS’ RALLY FAILS
TO STAVE OFF DEFEAT
PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH
Woodsboro, Texas.
The West Sinton nine defeated
the local Maverick nine in a loose-
ly played baseball game at the
Wranosky park here last Sunday.
At the end of the hostilities, the
score stood, 16 to 13, in favor of
the visitors! Both clubs played an
inferior brand of the great Ameri-
can pastime. However, a number
of nice plays were executed by
both teams at different stages of
the game. One of the more thrill-
ing moments came, when in the
sixth, Catchings, local mound king,
parked one out in the chaparrel
for three bases. Incidentally, the
bases were loaded with the calves
when Catchings labeled the pellet.
This was a signal to start a move
on the objective, however the bar-
rage that was laid down immedi-
ately after this three-bagger fell
short of tying the score by three
runs. It is reported that the lo-
cals will square off with Rockport
on the “fourth,” the game to be
played in the coast city.

Use of Peanut Oil
Increases 1,000 Pet.
The consumption of crude pea-
nut oil in the United States- bag
increased 1,000 per cent in the last
two years, says the bureau of Ag-
ricultural economics.
The bureau said that apparent
disappearance of more than 134,-
000,000, pounds of crude peanut oil
in 1935-36 was more than 10 times
greater than in 1933-34. Increased
utilization of peanut oil and vege-
table shortenings was reported.

mind, at all times, the fact that
there are others besides himself on
the road, and drives in a manner
consistent with that realization.
The good driver never assumes
that others know what he intends
to do. He signals every move—not
only his stops and turns, but also
his intention to pull away from a
curb. He is equally careful to give
notice, with his horn, when about
to pass. Observance of proper sig-
nal procedure will automatically
do away with one of the most dan-
gerous driving hazards—the sud-
den, unexpected move.
And if he hopes to qualify among
the really topnotch drivers, he will
go one step further, and keep his
eyes open for the other fellow’s
signals, so that his own starts,
stops and turns may be based on
information more reliable than a
guess or a “hunch” of what others
are about to do.

Governor W. I. Myers of the
federal farm credit administration
notified senators that he was op-
posed to any further extension of
the emergency three and one-half
per cent rate on farm land bank
loans.
“The time has come to taper off
on the interest subsidy to federal
land bank borrowers with a view
to discontinuing the subsidy at the
earliest possible time,” he said in
a letter to Chairman Wagner of
the senate banking committee.
The committee is considering a
house bill to keep the three and
one-half per cent rate in effect for
one year after June 30, when it is
due to expire, and to provide a
four per cent rate for the follow-
ing year.
Dallas Seeks Title
of “Redbud City”
Seattle may be the city of roses,
and Washington’s cherry trees
may bring it fame, but Dallas is
depending on redbud trees to beau-
tify it.
Since the fall of 1935 an inten-
sive campaign has been conducted
there by the garden clubs to make
Dallas the redbud city, by exten-
sive planting of a tree or shrub
that is called the Judas tree. The
fact that it requires only two feet
of soil, needs practically no care,
| and blooms when it is a year old,
{has made it ideal for this section.
