work on the part of Henderson
and his fifth grade room. It is
regrettable that more people
are not privileged to see these
talented youngsters perform.
Henderson came to the Mathis
school in ’55. He grew up in the
Tyler area and got his degree
from East Texas State at Com-
merce. Teaching the fifth grade
during regular term, he remains
in Mathis during Little Leauge
to coach a team of boys. Joe is
a bachelor. He seems to have
found his life and his love in
the school teaching profession,
which he takes in a calm man-
ner. He is a good disciplinarian,
and it is neither beneath his
dignity nor his benevolence to
take an erring boy out in the
hall and put the leather to the
proper angle, thus bridging the
generation gap, and creating a
better understanding all around.
Joe is an avid Pirate football
fan and thinks the home team
is going to win every game. He
never misses a game the Pir-
ates play, nor any that the Hues
engage in, regardless of where
the game is played.

According to records avail-
able, it is revealed that fertilizer
usage in this area has doubled
each year for the past five
years. Ten years ago, about 10
per cent who now use it for all
crops and improved pastures as
well.
Farmers begin putting out fer-
tilizer in October, and continue
the operation in February.
Most dry fertilizer is distributed
in the fields from row crops at
the rate of 200 pounds per acre.
Some ten years ago, and as late
as until five years ago,
users only applied 100 pounds
per acre.
Some liquid suppliment is ap-
plied in the Fall, but most is put
in the ground in December, Jan-
uary and as late as February.
It was pointed out that fertiliz-
er is the only item being pur-
chased by the farmer today, that
is cheaper than it every was.
Plays, such as those staged
by Henderson, were once popul-
ar features in rural schools. Now
days, most dramatic art is de-
veloped in high school and by
high school teachers with de-
grees in speech and by students
who are contemplating speech
as a career, or as a
aid in a chosen field-
Henderson believes
sooner a child learns
on his feet, think and talk at
the same time, the better pre-
pared he will be for any chosen
vocation. Much time is required
to prepare a play such as “Lit-
tle Paul Bunyan”, but the re-
ward is realized when the child-
ren perform so well that no
prompter is needed. On Friday
Henderson sat calmly, watehed
his students as they took their
many cues, recited their lines
and waited for the sound effects
which consisted of the authenic
sounding of a fog horn by little
fifth grade voices of the three
boys, one of which was sort of
on the alto sidt, but still could
be mistaken for a fog horn. The
sounding of a cannon was im->
pressive, but not even the press
was permitted to see how it was
done.

Radarange Oven is the world's first portable, 11 5-volt
microwave oven. Compact enough to fit on your kitchen
counter (22%” wide, 15” high, 17!A” deep), it uses only
about as much electricity as an ordinary electric frypan. Yet
it offers you almost every cooking advantage you can
imagine.
CLEAN You cook on easy-clean glass, or china or paper.
No more sticky pots or pans to scrub. Radarange Oven
wipes clean with a damp cloth—both inside and out.

Joe Henderson, who teaches a
fifth grade section in the Inter-
mediate Building in the Mathis
Schools and has gained quite a
reputation during the past few
years as a play director.
Joe’s specialty is “Little Paul
Bunyan’, and his presentation
of the skit is considered by those
seeing it, to be a worth while
production. Limited space in the
building will only accomodate
two rooms of children, and Joe
lets his students invite any two
rooms in the building. He stages
the play twice during a week’s
time, and that is all the time
that he feels that he can afford.
The remaining rooms only hear
about the play, and of course,
some of the sound effects.
Friday of last week, and Mon-
day of this week, Joe and his
room staged his play. The desig-
nated hour was 9 a.m. but cos-
tuming problems delayed cur-
tain raising a few minutes.
In the first place, Papa Bunyan
♦had to get his lush beard paint-
ed on, and then Babe, the ox,
had somehow lost his head- It
was feared at first that the head
losing was figurative, and that
Babe had seen a flapper of his
species, but the head was liter-
ally lost, and in the course of
time someone found it and put
it on what was hoped the pro-
per end of the saw horse, which
constituted the prop serving as
the famous ox.
All things were declared ready
when a trio of sound effects
men were placed out of sight be-

visiting rooms, some coaches
and a sixth grade teacher who
got in on his press card.
At the proper cue Joe faded
into the background, music
sounded for the narrator, who
read well; but so fast that a few
of us slower listeners found our-
selves about two paragraphs be-

the Mathis area since the last

The price of the product has
been consistently reduced each
year for the past ten years.
Most fertilizer is sold in bulk
form at present, eliminating the
cumbersome 100 pound package
delivery of a few years ago. All
applicators for both liquid and
dry types is furnished by the
company that sells it. This, of
course, does not include the trac-
tor required to pull the distribut-
ing machinery.
Statistically, users of fertili-
zer, gain $3.00 for each $1.00 that
they spend plus the continued
enrichment of the soil. Few
crops use all the fertilizer that
is put in the ground, and the re-
maining residue is perhaps more
usual the following year, then
it was the year that it was plac-
ed in the soil.
Fertilizer is used on a tonage-
produced -basis. For instance,
