WORLD
T'HE great Dallas Fair—the Tex-
x as State Fair—is under way
this week. All who can should vis-
it this exposition of agricultural
welfare and industrial expansion
in Texas. There are both enter-
taining and educational features.
Long lines of booths bring to the
attention of the visitor what is
being done by the various coun-
ties of the state in an agricultural
way, while other booths and dis-
play spaces reveal the manufac-
turing , and jobbing interests of
this territory. There is no end to
what you can see in Dallas at the
Fair. Again we say, go see it—*
and by all means take the children.*
The background might be a little
different from other years, prior
to the Centennial, because many
of the buildings used for the 100th
anniversary celebration are being
used by the Fair Aseociation. None
the less, it ia still the Texas State
Fair and undoubtedly the greatest
in all of the forty-eight States
of the Union.
TN the old days people of Texas
went to the Dallas Fair either
on specially operated passen^Vr
trains or by horse locomotion.
Those days of other years found a
cty street car system taxing all
of its facilities to transport vis-
itors to and from the f^ir grounds.
Moreover, when one attempted to

Four Local Boys
Among Lone Star
Farmers At JTAC
Dexter Ator, Raymond Jarrett,
and Billy Hancock of Stephenville
and Sloan Baker of Lipan are
among the twelve Lone Star Farm-
ers enrolled at John Tarleton Col-
lege this year. This is the largest
number of Lone Star Farmers to
enroll in John Thrleton College in
the history of the school.
The Lone Star Farmer degree is
the highest degree conferred by
the Texas Association of Future
Farmers of America, but there are
higher degrees to be attained.
Some of the group are now work-
ing toward an American Farmer
degree, conferred by the National
FFA, Future Farmer Organiza-
tion.
Six of the Lone Star Farmers
are members of the John Tarleton
College FFA. Atox is one of that
six and he is expected to be suc-
cessful in his trial to gain the
American Farmer degree.

coming year and a bugler will be
named. Plans also wil be dis-
cussed at this meeting concerning
organization of a rifle team.

the new officers elected. For this
reason, he said, all should be there
and take part in the election.
A work order has been issued
and operations will start next
Thursday, October 20, on the new
ward school construction project.

terest at 4 per cent.
From 30. to 36 laborers will be
employed at the start of the pro-
ject, it was estimated Thursday.

the building will be razed down
to the concrete foundation. Classes
will not be held Friday, October
21, at the ward school so that
equipment may be moved Friday
and Saturday. ___
Classes win begin Monday, Oc-
tober 24 in the Methodist and Bap-
tist churches. The first, second and
third grade pupils at the ward
school will be housed in the Meth-
odist church building and the four-
th and flftlr grade pupils will have
classes in the Baptist church build-
ing while the new structure is be-
ing erected.
W. W. Stevens, WPA area en-
gineer. was here Wednesday con-
ferring with, school officials as to
the best date to start construction
and making other arrangements
for beginning the project Harry
Braeuer, secretary of the local
school hoard, made the announce-
ment as to the starting date Thurs-

at an approximate cost of $70,000.
It will contain 14 classrooms and a
large auditorium, and is to be
modern and fireproof throughout.
A cafeteria will be installed in the
remodeled basement of the present
building. The entire campus will
be landscaped after the new school
structure is completed.
Half of4 the cost of the project
is being financed by the school dis-
trict by means of the bond issue
and the other half is being provid-
ed by the Works Progress Admin-
istration. WPA labor will be used.

Globe-Trotter ONE KILLED AND
FAMILY DAY TO BE HELD
AT METHODIST CHURCH
A group meeting of the Lions
Clubs of Stephenville, Comanche,
Brownwood and Hamilton was held
at the First Baptist Church here
Tuesday night at 8 o’clock.
Rupert N. Richardson, execu-
tive vice president of Hardin-
Simmons University, Abilene, and
district governor of this district,
2-E, was principal speaker of the
evening- In a general discussion
of Lionism, Richardson stressed
“Self Reliance.”
Following a dinner an enter-
tainment program was presented,
with John Tarleton College co-eds
appearing in several numbers.
J. Thomas Davis, Tarleton ^an,
was one of the other speakers on
the program.
C. A. McDonald, secretary and
treasurer of the Lions Club, in-
formed that these group meetings
are held quarterly, wild) each of
the four towns rotating as host to
the visiting Lions from the other
three towns in the group.
All talk about business condi-
tions notwithstanding, bank de-
posits and postal receipts in Ste-
phenville showed substantial gains
at the end of September over the
same date a year ago.
Bank receipts in Stephenville
increased $76,768.26 in the two lo-
cal banks, as of September 28,
1938, compared with the total de-
posits at the end of the month in
1937.
Postal receipts gained $780.45
during the third quarter of 1938
over the same three months—
July, August and September—last
year. If the present level is main-
tained, Postmaster Phillips be-
lieves that the year’s receipts will
be substantially above those of
1937,_which also was considered a
good year. For the past quarter
the total was $6,472.11, while the
same quarter last year was but
$5,691.66.
Over Million in Banks ’
Stephenville banks had a com-
bined deposit total of $1,220,-
947.45, as of the close of business
September 28, as compared with
$1,144,179.19 at the end of Sep-
tember, 1937, an increase of $76,-
768.26. Gains have been consistent
during the past few * yean,
with the diversified program re-
ceiving most of the credit foh the
higher deposit figures.
During the remaining two and
a half months of 1938, income
from turkeys, pecans, peanuts,
feed crops, dairy and poultry pro-
ducts is expected to keep the de-
posits at a high figure, despite the
lack of money from cotton. The
diversified program, it is believed,
will offset the cotton loss.
nl case the Erath county gov-
ernment provides means of spon-
soring county WPA projects this
winter, this also will add to the
spending power of the people in
this trade territory, and will coun-
teract the cotton crop failure. With
a million and a quarter dollars in
the two banks, it ia difficult for
many persons to believe that con-
ditions are as bad as some say
they are.

Return Home Sunday *
Mrs.'' Paul Higginbotham who
was called to Kerrville Friday on
account; of the death of her sis-
ter-in-law, Mrs. W. L. Council, re-
turned home Sunday with her hus-
band who drove to Kerrville Sat-
urday to join her at her brother’s
.home, having been unable to ac-
company her there for the funeral.
A two-year-old O. I. C. sow
owned by Elmer Carpenter, mech-
anic employed by the Motors Ser-
vice., Inc., here, has established
somewhat of a record. Her latest
achievement is a litter of 16 pigs.
And that’s not all. She boasts
two previous litters, with 14 in
each litter. This, it can easily be
deducted, totals 44 pigs for the
still young sow.
Carpenter says he has never
sold one of “Betsy’s” pigs for less
than $5. With the exception of
three pigs in a previous litter and
three remaining in the latest
“batch,” only 12 days old Wednes-
day, he has sold all of the pigs, or
38 of them at his price of $6 each
for an income of $190.
Old Betsy, which was two years
old last May 5, has never killed a
pig yet, and she doesn’t complain
when anyone handles her “child-
ren,” but Carpenter says that a
dog, cat or goat or chicken had
better not try to molest her pigs
or Betsy’ll get her dander up.
Peaceful chickens, however, arc
welcome and she never kills one
although she lived in town until
recently when Carpenter moved
to his farm three miles out on. the
Glen Rose highway.
Carpenter bought Betsy when
she was just a pig, or, rather, he
gave $5 for her before she was
born, from a fellow living near
the Paluxy River. Although not
registered the O. I. C. (Ohio Im-
proved Chesterwhite) sow is of
good stock. She weighs about 600
pounds, Carpenter states, and all
he has fed her in the way of fat-
tening feed is three sacks of shorts
during suckling time. He always
has bred her to good stock.
• Another good point about Betsy
Carpenter states, is that a three-
vrire fence or a 6-inch board will
hold her. She will not go over or
under these obstructions, seeming-
ly content with her “lot.”
Mrs. Claud Johnson, formerly
Miss Winnie Howell, and her sis-
ter, Miss Kathryn Howell, drove
here from Memphis last week-end
for a visit with their parents, Mr.
and Mrs. E, S. Howell, at the
family home on North Belknap
street.
Mrs. Johnson and Miss Howell
left here the first part of the week
for Texas City where they will
spend several days with another
sister, Mrs. Merle A. House. Their
mother accompanied them on the
trip to Texas City for the visit
in the home of her daughter, who
will be remembered by friends here
as the former Miss Nora D. How-
ell. ^

E. O. Elliott, 40, San Angelo,
was severely injured Wednesday
when the late model light sedan he

miles east of Bluff Dale. Hancock,
it was reported, escaped serious

the news of the coming Dollar Day
event at the Cox store, the big
sales days being Thursday, Friday

ers will find a complete Metail of
the sale in this edition, and even
though the first day of the affair
closed yesterday there will be plen-
ty of all items offered available
for those who visit the store either
today or Saturday.
Dollar days at the Cox store have
been advertised many other times
in the past and the shopping pub-
lic is perhaps too well acquainted
with the offerings for any extra
mention of the sale to be made at
this time. However, Jack Price, lo-
cal manager, said Tuesday that
the biggest' savings of the year
would be in effect during the three
days.
One significant feature about the
Cox store is that all advertising
is done on a bonafide basis, every
item included in the newspaper
and circular advertising being ex-
actly as represented. This reputa-
tion, built up over a period of al-
most twenty-five years, is closely
guarded by every official and all
employees of the institution.
People interested in extra values

circulars that have been placed in
the homes of most everybody in
