stand decorated with blue rib-
bons and white swans. A min-

Experimental
Cotton Gin Visited
James Buske of Shiner and
Herbert Wied of Nordheim
spent Monday of this week in
the Texas Panhandle studying
the operation of an experimen-
tal cotton gin plant. These two
South Texas cotton ginners had
been invited to inspect the op-
eration and practicability of a
new type of ginning process.
They reported that they are
ever on the alert to keep up
with the latest in cotton ginning
machinery in order for the cot-
ton producer to get the most
money for his cotton. A good
cotton gin plays a very import-
ant part in helping cotton to
compete with the various syn-
thetic fibers now coming on the
market.

IN MEMORIAM
In loving memory of our dear
husband, father and grandfath-
er, Jim J. Patek Sr., who pass-
ed away April 19, 1955.
A year ago we had to part,
When you were called away,
Yet in our thoughts and
hearts,
You’re with us every day.
Although we miss your loving
care,
We should no more complain,
For you are now with God
up there,
Where we will meet again.
Peaceful be thy silent slum-
ber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more will join our
number,
Thou no more our sorrows
know.
Yet again we hope to meet
thee,
When the day of life is fled,
And in Heaven with joy to
greet thee,
Where no farewell tears are
shed.
May his soul rest in peace.
