J. H. Breshears vfth his wife
bought the Cotten miace In the
north part of the bounty about
a year ago and he i» there getting
established on 18 sections deeded
and two or three leased.
Mr. Breshears believes this shin-
oak land can be turned into some-
thing better than letting cows be
“shinereed’ ’every year from rim-
ing on It. So he Is in the hog busi-
ness up to the hilt.
He has stocked with Duroc and
Hampshire breeds. He began five
years ago breeding and raising
hogs and It Is marvelous how he
has succeeded.
It was In Attiscosa county where
he first launched out Into his new
business after farming and doing
other things in connection with
the farm.
He began with three mother hogs
and today he has 500 head after
having sold during these five
years more than $5,000 worth of
the Increase from the three ori-
ginal stock.
Owing to the fact that his fences
are not completed Mr. Breshears
is having trouble keeping his hogs
at home.—Yoakum County News.

W. B. Wages, Pastor
Hello Folks! Here we are again
after spending nearly two months
in a hospital in Mineral Wells,
Texas, and we had so many nice
cards and letters we could not
answer them all. We also received
many gifts and offerings from
our church membership and other
friends from over the state, as
well as other states, that we are
taking this method of saying to
everyone that we thank you a mil-
lion and we appreciate everything
beyond expression, that was done
for us. Mom and I are both happy
to be home among our church
members and all our friends around
Levelland, and over this associa-
tional district. We are both well
i and able to work again. We en-
joyed the services, both morning
and evening, Sunday, and we found
that Bro. T. F. Suttle had been
doing a good job as assistant pas-
tor, and the work was just moving
right along under ,his leadership.
He Is a real helper and pal for

Next Sunday morning we will
have our special Christmas pro-
gram. The pastor’s subject will
be “The Incomparable Christ.’’
His people were inconspicious,
uninfluential and had neither
training nor education. In infancy
He startled a king; in childhood He
puzzled the doctors; in man-hood
He ruled the course of nature, and
walked upon the surging waves
as though they were pavements,
and hushed the sea to sleep. He
healed the multitudes without medi-
cine and made no charge for His
service. He never wrote a book, but
yet all the libraries of the world
could never hold the books which
fiave been written about Him. He
never wrote a song and yet has
been the theme of more songs than
all other subjects of the earth com-
bined. He never founded a college
but yet millions learn the secrets

orders, made more rebels stack

It was a tremendous leap from
the throne of God to a manger in
a stable; from the top of glory
to the bottom of humiliation; from
the bosom of God to the arms of
a woman; from promlnance to
obscurity; from infinite riches to
abject proverty; from a son to a
servant. But He put on humanity
that we might put on divinity.
He became the Son of Man that
we might become the Sons of God.

Of Trucks Warned
To Investigate Law
All persons who are planning to
purchase trucks placed on sale
by Army salvage officers as no
longer suitable for military use
were advised today by the office
of Defense Transportation to con-
sult their ODT Motor Transport
district office before bidding oi]
such equipment.
Several cases have occurred, thl
ODT said, where persons have
purchased- trucks then found the
proposed services were of a nature
that would not qualify them for
allotments of motor fuel and mile-
age.
The ODT warning on purchases
of Army trucks applies also to
would-be purchasers of used trucks
of any kind. Such purchase should
not be made until the prospective
buyers make certain that a Cer-
tificate of War Necissity, required
for operating any kind of commer-
cial vehicle, will be issued by the
ODT for the type of service in
which the truck Is to be used.
If the vehicles are to be used In
‘'for-hire" carrier services for which
Federal or State certificates are
required, it will be necessary to
submit evidence of such authoriza-
tions when applying for certi-
ficates of war necessity.
By checking with the ODT, pros-
pective purchasers of such trucks
can avaid possible financial loss,
from buying vehicles for which they
will be unable to obtain gasoline
allocations, the ODT pointed out.
The ODT warned also that per-
sons contemplating setting up new
business enterprises, or enlarging
present businesses, where the use
of motor vehicles would be in-
