Elizabeth Anderson were join’ ;
hostess*' in honoring Mrs. Claud*'
Thompson, formerly Miss Mary Et |
ta Harris, with a miscellaneous
shower in the basement of the court
Louse.
The basement of the court house
was made into u bountiful recep-
liot room by the use of numerous
floor ' ases, rugs, pillows, wall
pockets anil hanging baskets filled
with fern. Draperies were drawn
« nd the room was softly lighted by
six large floor lamps in pastel

made a w >h for the bride. Mrs.
French announced the piogram.
Miss Josephine Newell delighted
the audience with several popular
piano numbers, Eloise Williamson
gave a reading entitled “The Night

when she hud Miss Mary Grace

the Usual Way" while she was busy
at her easel. When the pianologue
was complete so was her drawing

married couple and from the ex-

think that, theirs was “A leap in the
dark.” Miss Lillian Elliott con-
cluded the program by playing sev-
eral popular piano numbers.
At this time Master Kenneth
Eubank, dressed as a little messen-
ger boy rode in on his tricycle and

Dallas announced showers for the
.fternoon. Joyce Holley dressed in
j, pink and yellow crepe paper dress
ame in pulling a little wagon
draped in pink and yellow filled
with many lovely gifts for the
.honoree.
The color scheme was very artis-
tically carried out in the refresh-
ments by the use of pink and yel-
low brick ice cream with yellow
squares of cake topped with pink,
which was served by six waitresses
in white uniforms with pink and
yellow sweetheart aprons and caps.
The waitresses were Miss Camelia
and LaRue Radford, Mary Kirgan,

Need Newspapers.
J. C. Penny, chairman board of
the Penny Stores, in an article in
Fourth Estate, says: “And now we
have come to a time when the
smallest newspapers are looked upon
as necessary in rounding out a
newspaper advertising campaign.
Newspaper readers have always
looked upon the papers as messen-
gers which carry local facts.
“Every town with a newspaper

Pointing out that oats, barley, rye'
and wheat are all valuable winter
pasture crops for livestock and j
poultry in most parts of Texas, as j
well as serving a very useful pur
pose as cover crops to hold avail-
able plant food in the soil, E. A.
Miller, Extension Agronomist, sug-
gests early sowing of these crops j
to get the most out of them. Ex-,
perienee has shown, he says, that j
small grains sowed by the middle !
of September furnish more grazing!
than crops seeded later.
To get early pasture these crops
may be drilled between cotton or
corn or grain sorghum rows with a
small grain drill, or may be broad-
cast and then covered by use of a
fine-tooth one-row cultivator, har-
row or other scratcher. Seeding
should be thick, at the rate of about
90 pounds per acre, if grazing is de-1
sired.
When the crop is to be saved for
grain or hay as well, it is advisable,'
Mr. Miller states, to spray oat or
barley seed with a formaldehyde
solution at the rate of one pint of
formaldehyde to ten gallons of
water to prevent smut. This amount
will be enough to treat 40 bushels
of seed. After spraying, the seed
should be shovelled over two or
three times, placed in a pile and cov-
red with a wagon sheet for several
hours. It may be sowed without
further drying.

A story called President Wilson’s
favorite is recalled by J. F. Essary:
A group of darky soldiers was
about to be sent up front and the
white officer came around to look
them over.
“What would you do, Jim, if sud-
denly you saw the whole German
calvary coming straight at you?”
"What would I do? Boss, I’d
sure spread the news through
France, sah.”

So far not one owner of a General Electric
Refrigerator has had to pay a single dollar for re-
pairs or service. It is General Electric’s answer
to those who ask ”Is electric refrigeration out
of the experimental stage?”
The firs', people who bought these refrigerators
when they were introduced more than two years
ago, bought them on faith. They knew that if
General Electric engineers worked for fifteen
years to perfect a product, that product would
have outstanding advantages. Their faith has
been justified.
The simple, worry-free, hermetically sealed
mechanism of the General Electric was hailed
as revolutionary. It established entirely new
standards of service, of quiet operation, of econ-
omy. Today the General Electric is the one and
only refrigerator which has an all-steel oabinet
—warp-proof and nigged as a safe, with rounded
corners for easy cleaning. See these refrigerators.
Be sure to ask about our convenientpurchaseplau.
