fT’jHERE are two new Ford cars for
1 1938—the De Luxe and the
Standard—differing in appearance,
appointments and price—hut built on
the same dependable Ford chassis.
Both bring you the basic advantages
of a V-type 8-cylinder power-plant—
smooth performance and compact de-
sign. The De Luxe Ford has the 85-horse-
power engine. The Standard Ford pro-
vides a choice of 85 or 60 horsepower.
Both new cars are economical to oper-
ate. The Standard, with thrifty “60”
' S’.::fc^EHSSSS5 Vi
engine, costs less to run
Ford car ever built.
And both new cars are priced low, .
Low price, like economy, is a Ford tra- i
dition. Ford founded the low-price field j
I
30 years ago and keeps Ford prices low. I
' * ** —w 1
The De Luxe Ford costs slightly more > J
than the Standard Ford, but provides
more style with extra room in the closed i
sedans. Both cars, in proportion to price,
represent unusual values. Both are built
to the same high standard of mechanical
excellence. There’s a dealer near you.

Across the Years" Banking
Banking “across the years” means forming your
banking relationship with men who have real vision.
Men who have an eye to the future, yours as well
as theirs.
That kind of banker does more than “sit tight”.
He makes himself and his bank actually helpful.
That’s the kind of bank ours is.

SARATOGA 4-H CLUB
Erma Louise Burnett, reporter
Friday, January 21, Mrs. How-
ard, our co-sponsor, met with the
4-H Club girls.
We talked about fire. We dis-
cussed fire, as being useful and as
being an enemy. We talked about
fire being able to catch so quick,
and how we could put it out and
avoid fires. She told us to never
throw water on a gas fire because
the water would spread it. We
talked about how to put your
clothes out if they should catch
afire. If we should catch afire
we should roll in sand or wrap
up in a blanket or jump into some
water, according to where we are,
and how we got afire.
We talked about going hiking
and taking our lunches after we
have accomplished more.

All doors will be repaired and
painted. The ceiling and wails now
unfinished are to be painted ivory.
The woodwork and floor are to be
painted brown. The flooi’ is in bad
condition so Imogene plans to use
an all-over rug. A closet is to be
built in or near the room for
storage of clothes. The furniture
is to be repaired and refinished
in dark oak. One mattress is to be
remade; linens, covers and protec-
tors are to be added. She wishes
to make a yellow tufted bed spread.
Imogene plans to have a com-
fortable bed, a dressing center, a
bathing center, and a reading cen-
ter. Her room will be more com-
fortable, attractive and restful.

“Artists and Models”, the new
girl-gag-and-music romance that
opens at the Palace Thursday
promises to be a real comedy treat.
The cast is headed by a well
known group of stars of radio and
screen featuring many specialties
and new song hits which will be
very entertaining.
The story opens with Jack Ben-
ney, head of the dizziest advertis-
ing agency in the world, torn be-
tween the fires of approaching big-
amy and a breach-of-promise suit.
He has promised to marry Ida
Lupino, beautiful model whom he
has “sold” to Richard Arlen for
use in Dick’s advertising campaign.
But in the meantime, Jack has
fallen in love with Gail Patrick,
Dick’s fiance! And just to give him
a few additional headaches, Jack
remembers that he has promised
both Ida and Gail that he will have
each of them elected Queen of the
Artists and Models Ball, of which
he is chairman.
Arlen, who is now in love with
Miss Lupino, is hurt by what he
considers a lie from her, and goes
to Europe to try to forget. He can-
not, however, and returns just be-
fore the Ball.
The night of the Ball arrives—
and all four—Jack, Ida, Gail and
Dick—join the festivities. Jack de-
cides to spend his time ducking
away and hiding from the two
girls—but to his great surprise,
finds that it won’t be necessary,
because Gail, by clever maneuver-
ing, straightened out the tangled
mess—and each of the boys wind
up with the right girl, while the
show—the most tuneful, most spec-
tacular production ever brought to
the screen—goes on merrily.
The picture introduces six new
songs—“Whispers in the Dark,”
“Public Melody Number One,”
“Pop Goes the Bubble,” “Stop!
You’re Breaking My Heart,” “Sa-
sha Pasha” and “Mr. Esquire.”
The dances were staged by LeRoy
Prinz, and the picture directed by
Raoul Walsh.

NEWS FROM AUSTIN
R. R. Freight Rates
Texas railroads last week lost
their fight to cancel the emer-
gency freight rates granted 30
drought-stricken counties by the
Texas Railroad Commission.
After several days of testimony,
District Judge Roy Archer refused
to grant an injunction restraining
the Commission from allowing the
25 per cent reduction on all live-
stock feed shipped into the 30
counties.
The rates will expire on March
1st.
There were employed in Hardin
county for the month of December,
four State men, 30 B. A. I. men,
who spent their entire time in an
effort to eradicate fever tick in-
festation, and a total of approx-
imately $602.62, was expended by
this Department in its regular Tick
Eradication Program.
4,790 herds, and a total of 38,-
872 cattle were inspected or dipped.
Of the number inspected and dip-
ped, 3 herds, and a total of 6 cat-
tle were found to be infested.
1,768 herds and a total of 14,081
cattle are being held for further
systematic treatment. All except
35 herds were systematically dip-
ped.
There were 12 tick quarantine
violations, 12 convictions, no dis-
missals, no cases pending in the
court, and the court assessed a to-
tal of $54.00 in fines and court cost
in Hardin County during the
month of December.
The Livestock Sanitary Com-
mission of Texas will continue the
work in Hardin county until it
has been cleaned of all fever tick
infestation. The above work was
conducted under the supervision
of J. C. Gambill, County Super-
visor of Tick Eradication Work,
Silsbee, Texas.
NOTE—There were employed in
Hardin county 30 ,B. A. I. paid
men, who are not included in the
above expenditure.

BEDROOM TO BE IMPROVED
Anti-Lynching
Governor James V. Allred last
;,eek declared that there is no
need for the enactment of the Fed-
eral anti-lynching bill so far as
Texas is concerned.
There was not a single lynching
in Texas last year, he said, and
only one in the last three years.
“State officers have standing
orders to get into any community
in which there is any possibility of
violence, “Allred declared,” and
Texas sherifs are fully impressed
with the necessity of protecting
their prisoners.”
Epidemic
Texas is in serious danger of a
smallpox epidemic, Dr. George W.
Cox, State Health Officer, warned
last week.
Viewing with alarm the report
of two deaths and 26 cases of
small pox during the first week
of January, Dr. Cox advised all
Texans to be vaccinated immedi-
ately against the dread disease.
The months of February, March,
April, and May are the “danger
months,” he said, and there is
greater danger of an epidemic than
at any time in recent years.
Texas Hunters
Texas hunters last week laid
aside their guns until another sea-
son and looked back upon one of
the most successful hunting sea-
sons in years.
Secretary Will Tucker of the Game
Commission estimated that half a
million hunters spent at least $25,-
000,000 on shells, food, lodging,
guns and other costs of hunting
quail, deer, turkey, doves, and
waterfowl.
Particularly successful was the
deer season in which hunters leg-
ally killed 30,000 bucks, the larg-
est number in five years.
Waterfowl hunters found an
abundant supply of ducks and
geese, a supply so large that Game
Commission officials expect a re-
laxation of the stringent Federal
regulations on these hunters.
Hunters from now on until the
dove season opens next Septem-
ber must content themselves with
rabbit and squirrel hunting, and
in many counties the hunting of
squirrels is prohibited by law.
Chain Store Tax
Technical court developments
last week again delayed the actual
enforcement of the Texas Chain
Store tax law which has been up-
held by the Texas Supreme Court.
Passed two and a half years ago,
the law has been tied up in court
actions ever since. Although the
Supreme Court finally held that
the law was good and enforceable
on December 1, chain store law-
yers have filed a series of motions
which still keep the law tied up.
The enforcement officials, head-
ed by Comptroller George Shep-
pard, are waiting on final action
by the Dallas Court of Civil Ap-
peals now. The law imposes a tax
ranging from $1 on every store to
$750 for every store over 50 in a
chain.
Kountze, January 19.—Imogene
Jenkins, bedroom demonstrator of
Village Mills club for 1938 is very
enthusiastic about her plans.
Imogene’s room with a north
and west exposure is 14’xl4’. Her
color scheme is to be ivory and
brown. She plans to add a door to
the opening into the dining room,
Drunken Driving
The Department of Public Safe-
ty this week reported that 80 out
of the 87 drivers licenses suspend-
ed during December were for
drunken driving. The suspensions
last six months.

BIG THICKET PARK HAS

Big Thicket, known to everyone
that has resided in East Texas for
any length of time, has great pos-
sibilities for a National park and
game heritage. It is a favorite
hunting ground for local sports-
men as there practically all kinds
of game abound. Mr. R. E. Jack-
son and others from here have
been working to get the govern-
ment to take over this natural
heritage and preserve it for poster-
ity as a National park. Following is
an editorial taken from the Jan-
uary 14, issue of the Houston Post
and it shows that the prospects of
making a National park of this
section have already gained some
publicity:
Big Thicket Park
The “Big Thicket” area of East
Texas has everything a National
park needs. Much of it is virgin
wilderness, seldom penetrated. It is
so isolated, it remains a wild life
sanctuary. Those familiar with it
say it is so densely wooded in
places even a jackrabbit would
have difficulty getting through.
It is one of the few places on
the American continent where civ-
ilization has not penetrated, where
the country remains exactly as it
was hundreds of years ago, before
the white man came.
Developed into a National park,
it would become a naturalist’s
paradise. All that would be nec-
essary would be construction of
roads, bridle paths, walkways and
camping spaces for visitors. The
park’s charm would result from the
unspoiled character of the dense
forest, which would prove a sanct-
uary for many species of animals
and birds now rapidly being ex-
terminated.
Senator Morris Sheppard reveal-
ed this week, that the government
is investigating the feasibility of
incorporating the “Big Thicket”
into the National park system, at
the request of an East Texas or-
ganization headed by R. E. Jackson
of Silsbee.
All Texas should interest itself
in this project, An East Texas
National park is needed to pre-
serve for future generations the
unsurpassed beauty of its tower-
ing pine forests. Such a playground
would pay big dividends in tourist
business, with an area now of no
economic value providing a rich
source of income.
There should be no more delay
in acquisition of land needed for
the Big Bend park in West Texas,
another unspoiled area of great
natural beauty with limitless pos-
sibilities for recreational use.
Establishment of these two
parks, the Big Bend, with its mag-
nificent mountain scenery, and the
Big Thicket, a virgin wilderness,
will provide Texas with new assets
of incalculable value. No other
State in America can offer the
tourist recreational areas so start-
lingly different, so rich in recrea-
tional opportunities.
From now until July the politi-
cians and office seekers will be
busy trying to see every voter in
the county several times to make
sure that their vote will help to
elect them. In your vote you have
a powerful organ, (if you have
paid your poll tax), and it is up to
you to use this organ correctly and
to its best advantage.
Ask yourself this question when
you see a candidate. Is the office
seeker just a money-grabbing pol-
itician who wants to exploit the
taxpayers money, or. is he a sin-
cere public servant who will be
capable of holding the office and
executing its duties properly, if
he is elected? It might be well to
look into the promises of a can-
didate who says he will complete-
ly remodel the workings of a cer-
tain office, because traditions and
customs in such a position are hard
to change immediately. A conscien-
tious promise to carry out the du-
ties of the office as they should be
performed might serve as a more
sincere campaign talk.
In the county and precinct of-
fices it is natural that the people
of this county should feel that the
interest manifest in local affairs
are most important. As Silsbee is
by far the largest voting box in the
county the people of Silsbee can
well demand that the candidate
they vote for have the civic im-
provement of Silsbee at heart. As
the candidates are making their
rounds you should feel free to ask
them where they stand on issues of
interest to Silsbee, and help elect
the ones that you know will do
most for Hardin County and
Silsbee.
