while, and go on down the western
slope, hand in hand and side by side
but your poor body bent beneath a
'load of pain and caused your soul
to hurry on.
And so, Father, our counselor and
advisor through the years, with
days are lonely and the nights are
long since you smiled and said good-
bye. .Since then the world seems
changed. When we return at even-
ing, we are greeted by your vacant
chair; when night, with its shadows
calls us to sleep, we dream again
that you are here. How long seems
the road and how weary the way.
We wonder now, if you look down

Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Hanke have
as their guests Mrs. Hanke’s niece
and husband, Mr. and Mrs. C. S.
Cox of Kerrville. Mrs. Cox is sis-
ter of Mayfield Kothmann, age 18,
4-H. Club boy of Mason, who won
the grand championship of the
Chicago International Livestock
Show in Chicago Tuesday ,with his
Hereford steer, “Lucky Boy II.”
Press reports state a crowd of 10,000
stockmen was in the International
Amphitheatre when George Gordon
Davis of Buenos Aires, chief Judge
of steers laid his hand on the flank
of Kothmann’s animal.
Young Kothmann paid $35. for
his prize winning steer when the
animal was two days old. It is said
he may get as much as $3,000 for
it when it is auctioned off today
(Thursday). It weighs 1,240 pounds
and is 16 months old.
This was the first time since 1932
that Hereford won the most cove-
ted purple ribbon of the show, but
his win was no surprise to Mayfield.
He said he expected to win altho it
was his first time to exhibit at the
International Show. He found a
man who was shipping 10 head to
Chicago and talked him into includ-

SHOES
ing his entry for the trip and he
hitch hiked to the metropolis to be
there when Lucky Boy II arrived,
so sure was he of the merits of his
steer and so great his determination
to enter him. >
And we say Mayfield Kothmann is
a real son of the range—were there
more of his calibre Texas cattle
would soon come back into its own
and the west flourish as in the olden
days.

“Monthly Benefits to Begin in
1940” will be the subject of an ad-
dress by Zola E. Avery, manager of
the Social Security Board’s field
office at Austin, Tex., before the
employers and employees at Elgin
Chamber of Commerce, 7 p. m., Dec-
emebr 11, it was announced by Gro-
ver C. Westbrook, Secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, yesterday.
Mr. Westbrook stated that the a-
mended Social Security Act enables
the Social Security Board to pay
benefits starting in January, 1940,
to qualified persons who have parti-
cipated in the Federal Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance system instead
of January, 1942, as was originally
planned. In addition, the benefit
payments have been liberalized and
the system has been extended to in-
clude a greater number of persons.
The benefits are five principal
types: 1, the old-age benefits; 2,
widow’s benefits; 3 dependent child-
ren’s benefits; 4, wives’ benefits;
and 5, dependent parents’ benefits.
How these benefits are calculated and
how a person may qualify for them
will be some of the points explained
by Mr. Avery, Mr. Westbrook said.
