Ranch For Sale’
Ad Fictitious
A classified advertisement in
Tuesday s Reporter News stating
that the "Janie Hall ranch south
of here" was for sale was unauth-
orized by Jane Patton Hall and
also by L. L Blackburn, of Baird,
whose name was in the ad
Both Miss Hall and Blackburn
informed the newspaper that they I
had no knowledge of the ad having
been submitted for publication.
The text of the ad was present-
ed to the Reporter-News business
office by an unidentified person.
It was typed, with the notation
"run 6 issues charge acct." and in
long hand, "L. L. Blackburn,
Baird, Tex "
The ad read as follows:
"For Sale: The four-section
Janie Hall ranch south of here. |
Will subdivide land to suit buyer.
See L. L. Blackburn, Baird, Tex."
Miss Hall said she does not use
other people s names and that she
was sorry Judge Blackburn's name
was used by whomever presented
the ad for publication.
Miss Hall said her ranch is not
MIDDLE-AGED COUPLE
TAKES DOUG INTO HOME
It was moving day today for little Doug.
Doug, the 4-year-old Abilene lad who is deaf, dumb,
and blind, is moving into a home to be cared for by a
middle-aged couple while the Abilene-Taylor County
Child Welfare Unit awaits medical reports from hos-
pitals where the lad has been treated. His afflictions were
brought about by sleeping sickness at the age of 14
months. His case history may make it possible for surgery
or further medical treatment that will restore him to
normalcy.
Doug's new home was selected by the welfare unit
from more than 17 inquiring Abilenians wanting to help.
The couple has already successfully reared three chil-
dren. The wife has experience as a practical nurse and
the husband, a World War I veteran, is unable to work
outside the home and can devote most of his time to
training the child.
Doug’s father—only relative who could look after
him—must work every day. He will pay a reasonable
sum each month for the boarding of his child.
Whether or not Doug will ever romp and play again
as other normal children is a matter to be settled after
the hospital reports are received.
area, over which he roughed it a
a soldier.
Nash said he was “very much
surprised” at Abilene.
. “After having read in Life
magazine while overseas that Abi-
lene was a ghost town, I expected
things to be pretty quiet here,”
he said.
Discharged from the army Octa
30. 1945, Nash is now back in his
civilian pursuit of banking.
He confesses a strong desire to
return to Abilene and make his
home.

The secretary broke "my first

He remarked that recent price
increases on farm commodities in

many to regard the present farm

Mexicans Working
In Fisher's Fields
ROTAN, Sept. 25 —(Spl)— Ap-
proximately 1.000 Mexican laborers
| are at work in Fisher county cot-
ton fields as boll pullers, due to
the efforts of Charles A. Powell,
secretary-manager of the chamber
of commerce here. Five hundred
workers were needed in the Rotan
area alone.
Widespread rumors that douth
had left West Texas cotton fields
barren are believed to have been
the cause of a severe shortage of
workers when cotton started to
open. Many Fisher county farms,
however, produced from one-
fourth to one-third bale to the acre,
it was learned here.
Powell sent an appeal for lab-
orers to Texas A & M college,
which relayed the appeal to Rus-
sell Patterson of Brady, their farm
labor representative. Patterson
immediately began routing Mex-
ican laborers here.
