Sunflowers Prove
Good Money Crop
CROCKETT, Texas, Aug. 29
(AP).—Farmer H. H. Cherry was
harvesting a crop of sunflowers to-
day that he expects to net $15 per
acre in a 100-acre field of worn-
out land.
“That field has been in cultiva-
tion for more, than 75 years,” he
said, “and since owning it, I have
been unable to make a profitable
crop. I planted the sunflowers.
Heavy rains have hurt the crop
but I expect to thrash out an aver-
age of 350 pounds of seed per acre.”

the elaborateness of the four
prize-winning exhibits were so out-
standing as to eliminate the more
simple entries. The latter four
were found so nearly correct, as
well as demonstrating unusual
"originality of thought,” together
with artistry, time and patience,
the judges announced the winners
as follows:
Miss Louise Williams, 215 Mc-
Clain street, first, $10.
Miss Becky Piper, 818 East Main
street, second, $7.
Mrs. Alfred H. Ingle, 527 South
Dixon street, third, $5.
Miss Bernice Pulte, 1019 Han-
cock street, fourth, $3.
Honorable mention went to Mrs.
W. E. Cheaney, Marion Robertson
and Pete Saunders, Jr.
Miss Williams' entry was a
bound book, blue embossed cover,
9x11 inches, bearing the words,
"Eyes of the Future Contest,
Gainesville, Texas.” Inside fly-
leaf repeated these words, fol-
lowed by name and address of the
contestant. Then came Page 1,
bearing a likeness of Wilbur Clark,
until recently manager of the J. C.
Penney company store here but
now of Fort Worth. His picture,
taken from the contest page ap-
pearing in the Register, was pasted
on a white sheet 8%x11 inches.
It was outlined with red and blue
pencils. At the top was a quo-
tation from a J. C. Penney adver-
tisement, while at the bottom was
the regulation J. C. Penney com-
pany signature.
This style was followed through-
out, each picture on a separate
sheet, correctly numbered, out-
lind in various intricate designs
by colored pencils. Slogans and
signatures taken from advertise-
ments in the Register, or from
business stationery secured from
the firm, was neatly placed on
each page to complete the identi-

The four prize-winning entries
in the “Eyes to the Future” con-
test, conducted by the Daily and
Weekly Register, in cooperation
with a large number of Gainesville
business institutions, were real
works of artistic ability, causing
them to far outshine a majority
of the entries, although three oth-
ers so favorably impressed the
judges, they were cited for hon-
orable mention.
Quite a number of entries were
eliminated because initials or first
names of merchants and employes
shown on the contest picture page
that appeared in the Register
some days ago, were incorrect, or
entirely missing. In other in-
stances, the wrong identification
was made. Some neat entries,

ceived members of the Federated
B&PW club in her home, 821 East
California street, Thursday eve-
ning, for a business meeting.
Plans were discussed for the en-
tertainment of the district confer-
ence here in November. Yearbook
plans were also made.
The hostess served refreshments
of homemade ice cream and angel
page bore a pair of specttcles,
followed by the words, "Eyes to
the Future," painted in large let-
ters, and bordered in green ink.
The first inside page gave the
title and the name of entrant,
surrounded by half a dozen pic-
tures of eyes. Next, came two
neatly typewritten pages, giving
numbers, correct names and busi-
nesses represented by the pictures
on the large page that appeared tn
the Register. The subsequert
pages bore pictures of the respeo-
tive subjects in the contest, by
their type of business. For in-
stance, Roy Stamps, of the Crystal
Coca-Cola Bottling plant, appeared
alongside a miature carton of
Coca-Cola, in colors, clipped from
an advertisement. Roland Wilson,
of the Gainesville Ice company,
was next to a uniformed man bear-
ing a large cake of ice, in a drip-
proof bag, on his shoulder.
The same style was followed
throughout, and where pictures
were not available, they were in-
geniously sketched on the page
with pencil. For instance, Jim
Harpole’s picture was placed above
a drawing of a little store, resting
on a square, representing "The
Little Store on the Square.” Sim-
ilarly, three pictures of persons
connected with the Daily Regis-
ter, appeared on a page surround-
ing a drawing of a newspaper boy,
his arms loaded with copies of
the Register.
Mrs. Alfred Ingle produced a
novelty. Her entry was in the
shape of a large “V,” the angles of
which were 12 inches long. Each
leaf was a different color heavy
paper, the edges “pinked” with
pinking scissors. The whole was
tied with lavender ribbon.
The “V” shape was explained by
the contestant in this original
manner:
“Eyes to the Future . . . Mean
Eyes Toward Victory,” which is
in keeping with a national defense
slogan of the present time. Then

Know what Joe does? It’s this: He’s the one who puts the

This Labor Day is an historic one, a significant one. The thou-
sands and thousands of Joes in this cuntry can point with pride
to real accomplishments. Defense machinery is working at high
speed, with Labor supplying the power. And with this achieve-
ment, this honor, comes responsibilities, too, responsibilities that
Labor accepts proudly. America can be proud of this, too, and
thankful.
