Farm Notes
By Fred S. Reynolds
The recent cold and snowy weather
has made necessary the postpone-
ment of several terracing schools.
However, where it is possible to dp
so, new arrangements will be made
for those postponed. This will not
affect those scheduled for future date
Notice to Car Owners
All cars not registered in January
will be subject to 20 per cent penally.
Don't wait until the last day, will
be impossible to wait on all.
W. B. Bingham, Tax Collector.

The county-wide terracing demon-
stration scheduled for Saturday, Jan-
uary 18 was not held because the
weather was too cold. The frozen
ground made it impossible to demon-
strate the use of terracing imple-
ments.
A. K. Short and M. R. IJentley, rep-
resentatives of the Federal Land Bank
and A. & M, College respectively, to-
gether with the farm machinery mt n
were present for the demonstration
but left at noon because of weather
conditions,
A request was made of these in ;i
for another date. Due to an already
full schedule, no promise was given
by them, but if it were po.iible
them to do so, Mr. Bentloy stated
i that they would try to give lis a date
perhaps in March.
Rniest Mullen and wife, north of
Swenson, have a laying house and
early 300 hens, which they are goim.v
to keep records for a year, begirmimr
with Januay 1, 1930. The house i
provided with adequate roosts a •<•!
| dropping boards. Other needed equip-
ment such as feed hoppers and ncsvs
-vill probably be supplied soon.

Friends, the story of our Lord and
his work here on earth has been put
in print in this manner: Jesus went
back, to the Pearly Gates after His
work here was finished. He met Peter
at the gate. Peter asked him "Lord
> ho is going t.n carry on your work on
t arlhV" Jesus made answer, "I have
left James, John and Phillip." Peter
said "But Lord if these fail, what,
then?' Jesus said, "I have no other
plan."
Christians of Stonewall County, 1

Jesus Christ, let us lay aide every ,

Too Late for Last Week—
In his inaugural address, H. F.
Grindstaff, who was re-elected pres-
ident of the Lions Club for 1930, sug-
gested that for part of its program
for the ensuing year, the Club give
consideration to four projects, the
first being the beautification of Asper-
mont by means of planting more trees
and shrubbery and repainting of old
houses, second, the possibility of get-
ting someone interested in locating a
gypsum plant here, third, the matter
of putting in a hatchery at Aspermont
and fourth to investigate the advisi-
bility of construction of a cold storage
for eggs somewhere in the county.
"Due to an abundance of gypsum
rock in the county," said Grindstaff,
a gyp ura plant should do well hen
1. L. Evans and W. H. Link, who
are directors in the Stonewall County
Farm Loan Association, were visitors
and R-avc short talks.
Miss Maye Dei I Scroggtns, a mem-
ber of the Aspermont school faculty,
was a visitor representing the school,
She gave the members of the club a
cordial invitation to attend a "12"
party, which the faculty is giving
Friday night at the school house. The
proceeds of the party will be applied
on the price of the merry-whirl, ro-
eently bought by the school.
Lions Club News For This Week—
A pstrt of the program today, J.
R. lliggim urged the members to
brick! a move to clean away the rub-
bish and other unsightly objects from
their premises. Others present sug-
gested that a con c e r t, e d effort be
made to get all property owners to
eh ■ ' :hi ii premise:-.. Such thing.-
as tin cans,broken glass and other un-
hurnablo objects could be pibxl to-
gethei and hauled ;.way. Someone
made the suggestion that tin coopera
lion of the school b*> solicited, work-
ing through the children to get the
places cleaned, burning such things
as leaves, weeds and trash, while the
other rubbish be piled in one pile by
the road for each house. Later a
vt hide hired by the Lions could come
along and haul it away.
H. L. Orr, who was a visitor nt the
luncheon, made a few remarks con-
cerning a cold storage plant which he
said had engaged his attention for
•everal months tut which he had not
yet come to any definite decision at
this time. Mr. Orr stated that he
had looked into the probable cost of
refrigeration plant, electricity to be
upplied by the West Texas Utilities
Company, and other factors connected
with the operation of such a plant.
A few suggested uses of such a plant
were the storage of eggs from a low
to a high price period, custom storage
o! meats, vegetable* for the public,
ml the vile of ice. Futhcrmore the
pU-nt would enable its owner to en
nage in the killing and drewsinR of
chickens, and turkeys at appropriate
reasons.
I). R. Couch and Buck Low, visi-
tors made a few remarks on the mat-
ters under discussion.

Back in Our Own Plant
Is the declaration of the Stamford
American—since the disasterous fire
in Stamford a few weeks ago. Mr.
Houston was enabled to put out each
issue of the American on record time
through courtesy of the Stamford
Leader.
Much has been said about the
weather, but it is all unmindful of the
comment and continues to blow and
blow and freeze and freeze. Five be
low zero is the government register
report. Each day is getting to be
the coldest as our duds begin to wear
thinner - n' thinner.
M. N. Guest made business trip to
