COTTON GROWERS
PREMIUMS on 1 1/32 and 1 1/16 staple under the
1944/45 Cotton Loan Frtogram, as announced by the
CCC on March 1st, will be $3.00 to $5.00 per bale over
15/16.
If you want more dollars per cotton acre, you can
swap with, us the inferior cotton seed you are holding
back to plant for cleaned, graded, high germination,
high lint yield, producing staple of 1 1/32 to 1 1/16,
some delinted and ceresan treated—and at a very small
cost to you.
The Planting Seed we offer you—Stoneville 2 B
and D * P L—have been approved by the Texas Cot-
ton Planting Seed Association for this section or zone,
and qualify for subsidy payment to you of $2.25 and
$1.15 per hundred under the War Food Program. And
we will pay you $2.50 per hundred for your seed. This
leaves little cash outlay for you to make.
« Come by the office—let us give you some interest-

In addition, C. L. Saeger, oper-

him from violating OPA 'regula-

Several of the meat dealers, in-

said their difficulties grew out of
regulations regarding the grading
of dressed beef. They said they
have had conflicting ■ instructions
from various investigatbrs of the
OPA. The government does not
grade the beef, but leaves it to
each dealer to grade his own
meats. Differences of opinion
have therefore resulted.

HELP ME GOD."
The Pledge Made to Sons
For a moment my thought drift-
ed from the son whose burned
body lies somewhere in France
and from the other son who lies
in native soil ....
Our forefathers who wrote the
Constitution knew that they were
giving to future generations a
document so precious that it
would be worth the loss of Amer-
ican lives to preserve . . . and
they knew that theje would arise
enemies to it, domestic as well
as foreign.
Then my mind went back to a
time nearly three years ago. when
my first two boys volunteered,
and the pledge I made them then:
"To the best of my meager abil-
ity I shall do all I can to defend
against foes at home the institu-
tions you boys have enlisted to
uphold . . . and I shall do that
without feai- of sacrifice if it
costs me everything I have, in-
cluding my life,- so help me God."
It was not necessary that. I
pledge them my fullest efforts to
help prosecute the war . . . they
could have expected no less of me
as an American and a father.
*■ The casualty lists over
country name thousands of
fents whose boys have been
and whose sons are as precious
to then) as mine were ,to me. I
claim no distinction as the perent
of boys who have died in the serv-
ice. I can only claim to be among
those to whom this war is a dead-
- fyC? 'us tj and I wish-my
claim to be listed among those
who resent with every atom of-
thelrlbetag, the efforts which ere
beingynade by the Hillmans,' the
Browders, the Murrays and pthdre, a“ ramuie-ageu reuows nave
including our. President, to nullify- to do 18 °P«n our memory book
