Hereafter the class will meet at

Texas next week will be host to
a distinguished group of newspaper
and magazine writers who are be-
ing taken on a tour of the State
in connection with “Texas-in-the-
War Week’The tour is being spon-
sored by several great industrial
corporations which have plants in
Texas, and the itinerary will start
with the dedication of the new
plant of the General Tire and
Rubber Company recently complet-
ed at Waco. The principal cities
and industries of Texas will be in-
cluded in the tour.
The net result will be that Tex-
as industrial progress will be told
to the nation through newspa-
pers. magazines and the radio with-
in the next few months. What is
more important, these nationally
known writers will gain a back-
ground information about Texas
that will be drawn upon for years
to come. For Texas, these nation-
ally-published articles will help
solve the difficult problem of sell-
ing Texans themselves on the in-
dustrial possibilities of Texas

And he went over to Arkansas and
was being shown around. The old
boy from the high plains of Texas
pointed to some mud marks high on
the trees tn the bottoms and ask-

overflow. The agent said absolutely
not; that mud was left on the trees

Later they drove to town And

A few men of World War I were
seen Saturday morning, and when
asked where they were 26 years
ago today, said: E B Tobin was
at Belleville, near where General
Patton is at present L. H Ligon
and Tom Standefer were at Camp
Pike, Arkansas. Ira Fullerton was
near Sedan with a signal corps, at-

Whether or not Denton County

County does have some Hereford

tercepted while under escort near
Padang, off the west coast of Su-
matra.
The British submarine* scored
torpedo hit* on a medium size sup-
ply ship entering Port Blair in the
Andaman Island*, while a similar
vessel was believed to have exploded
after a torpedo attack in the Ma-
lacca Strait*, the communique said.
Other sinkings occurred off 8a-

marines fought a brisk gun battle
with a Japanese convoy of 12 small
supply ships. In another action in

sweeper wa* sunk.
