Drawing Summer
Trade
At this time of year When people
are driving ao much in their auto-
mobiles, there is a great chance for
an enterprising store to draw in new
trade. If it advortises freely, its
notices are read In all the country
around. People respond to these
notices, and the dweller in near-by
towns or along the backroads gets
out the automobile and comes in to
inspect these bargains.
Trade is coming farther and
farther in response to these notices,
and the towns that ore not appeal-
ing to this kind of trade are likely
to lose something of the trade they
already have.

Welcoming Strangers
The summer season brings a good
many strangers and visitors to Cald-
well. We are constantly seeing new
faces on the street , and meeting the
of our home town folks. It is s fine
thing to give these folks a cordial
welcome. Let us tell them we are
glad to see them, and make them feel
that we arc a ttfwn of warm-hearted
people.
People like a community where
strangers are met with those warm
handclasps, and Where people seem
interested in newcomers. The news
spreads around that such a commun-
ity has the open heart and the glad
hand, and people keep coming there
to nee their friends and incidentally
to do business. Gradually such a
town gains new residents and trade.
"Quit Your Crabbing"
There ain't no use in crabbing, friend
When things don't come your Way;
It does no good to gloom around,
And grumble night and day.
The thing to do is curb your grief,
Cut out your little whine;
And when they ask you how you are,
Jest say, "I'm feelin' fine."
There ain't a man alive but what is
Booked to get his slap;
There ain't no man what Walks but
what
From trouble gets his rap.
Go mingle with the bunch, old boy,
Work hard and don't repine;
And when tbey ask you how you are,
Jest say, "I'm feeling fine."

o
The Fourth of July
There is no date so appealing to
the American people as the Fourth
•of July. When those 54 valient men
aigned the Declaration of Independ-
ence our country entered upon its
life as a nation. How young we are
compared With the hoary nations of
the world! And let us glory in the
strength of youth which is always
looking to the forward step.
Twice before efforts had been made
in that direction; at Mendon, Mass.,
in 1773, and at Mecklenburg, N. C.,
in 1776. But the final document was
drawn up by Thomas Jefferson at
Philadelphia rad the sanction of sign-
ers from the thirteen colonies and
ranging in age from Benjamin
Franklin with his seventy years to
Edward Rutledge of Charleston, not
jmt twenty-seven.
It is fitting that bells should peal,
that fireworks should tell the story
in the skies. We also need to re-
fresh our memories and quicken our
enthusiasm by public demonstra-
tions and by the stirring notes of
music. It should be a joyous
family day when father guides the
young patriots when they celebrate.
A day for picnics when the beauty
of midsummer helps in the spirit of
festivity.
Let it be a constructive dsy when
the older ones will do some thinking
end pass on high ideals of patriotism.
Let us remember with reverence
those courageous souls as they took
this step to insure the colonists the
right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit
cf Happiness. What are we doing
to help promote among our fellow-
men these rights? Are we consider-
ing the rights of our neighbor to self
expression when we let our own
claims outweigh his?
Those men of the past sealed the
great pact with a pledge to each
other of lives, fortunes, and sacred
honor; a fitting expression of loyalty
which \ve may well emulate.
o
An Automobile For
Every Family
Enthusiasts in the automobile busi
ness often remark that the time will
soon come when every family will
have an automobile, and it will be
regarded as an absolutely essential
article of household furniture, which
only people of the very poorest cir-
cumstances will feel that they can
dispense with.
This time is perhaps further ahead
than those confident folks predict, yet
probably it will come before many
years. Some people are too nervous
to drive cars. They feel they can-
not learn. As traffic becomes more
congested, and the various states be-
come stricter in examining candidates
for licenses, such ones feel less snd
less inclined to try to learn.
But most young people are not
troubled with such fears. They all
expect to have automobiles when they
grow up, and most of them manage
to learn to drive them somehow. If
their parents do not own cars, they
get chances to drive those belonging
to their neighbors. They drive con-
fidently and will not be satisfied
without cars.
Many prudent and cautious old-
timers look at the ownership of car^
by people who have no money saved
ahead, as showing a lack of thrift.
Yet the possession of these cars
saves these people transportation ex
penses. They get cheap outings with
them, they have better health for the
open air. Considering how cheap they
can buy second hand cars that have
a good of mileage left in them it is
not necessarily an extravagance.
It becomes lesa an extravagance if
the owner of the car can learn to
make ordinary repairs. It would seem
as if somehow every young man
would want to get this form of train-
ing. But if every family is t0 have
a car, and how many are to have two
or more of them, the American peo-
ple have got to learn to do much more
careful driving over the crowded
roads.

Short Cuts To
Housewife Leisure
College Station.—A home maker
must take short cuta to *he necessary
three mesls a day if she has time left
to enjoy her family, her friends, her
club and have an occasional pleasure
trip. In recognition of this, Texas
home demonstration agents ere
showing how to save time in prepar-
ing meals.
Among" the methods demonstrated
is the use of labor saving utensils
and tools, such as fireless, pressure
and Waterless cookers, double boilers,
dish drainem, food choppers, light
weight egg beaters, measuring cups
snd spoons, cssseroles, toasters and
broilera. It is shown to be important
also that tools and fixtures be kept
as close together as possible and con-
venient to places where they are
most needed. Treys snd wheel stands
are step and time navers in carrying
food to and from the dining room,
many women are finding.
One dish dinners are becoming
popular among home demonstration
club members, since they are easy to
prepare, simple to serve and require
little dish washing and clsaring away
afterwards. A casserole dish of meat
and spagetti, or beans, or beef hash
and tomato sauce, or Irish stew, or
corn chowder mske s complete meal
when combined with a fresh salad
tea, coffee end milk snd bread.

Railway Company
Report Reflects
Sound Business
Considering an erratic spring, with
unsessonable Weather most \ot the
time, the midlewest and southwest
states find crop conditions, as sum-
mer comes along, better than were
expected. Prospects for near average
yields per acre ore bright, despite
heavy plantings and substitutions.
While few per sere recorde Will be
broken, the hsrvest returns from in-
cressed sreas under cultivation will
«how production totals close to those
of normal years.
Business has held up well in the
territory just described. Reports in-
dicate that the marketing of crops,
already in progress, Will act as a spur
to more active buying which will be
felt throughout the summer. Due to
harvest, labor is employed at good
wages, the supply being about equal
to the demand.
Building activities of no state are
below those of last year, While the
larger cities are substantially abow
the 1928 levels. Apparently there is
less street paving than last year, but
much more highway construction.
Texas
Texas cotton is coming along fair-
ly well, and an average crop, or
better, will be harvested, if favorable
weather continues, judging from the
present conditions in alt sections of
the state. Little damage from boll
weevils or other pests, has been re-
ported.
Thirty million bushels of wheat,
eighty five per cent of it in the north-
western counties, including what* is
kniAm as the Panhandle, will be har-
vested. The harvest is 60 per cent
complete. Yields of thirty bushels
per acre are common.
Growth of grain in the eastern,
central and southern district was
retarded by wet weather, which made
necessary considerable replanting and
substitution, and later a hot spell
caused considerable damage. Yields
generally light, except of oats, which
will be about normal.
Grain sorghums in the Western
areas are doing well. A high record
sorghum is expected. Watermelons
and vegetable crops will make good
returns in central and northern coun-
ties, generally of good quality. It is
expected that the main prices will be
high enough to enable the growers to
count a profit. In tne southern coup-
ties rain and plant diseases have
damaged the melon crop and reduced
production materially.
The livestock conditions compares
favorably With that reported at this
time last year. However, market re-
ceipts are light, due to the scarcity
of fat cattle.

Helping To Build Texas
More than one-third of the cucum-
ber acreage in the United States is
in Texas this year with the early
crop already beginning to move. The
U. S. Department of Agriculture es-

acreage at 18,040 acres and that of
Texas at 5,880, an increase of 600
seres over 1928.

Heifer Owned
Club Boy Makes
Register of Merit
fWagahachii-Milton Wake'ield, a
Mt Peak club boy who borrowed a
hundred dollars a year ago last Jan-
uaty to purchase a bred heifer, has
been notified that this young cow has
quslifisd for the register of merit
by producing 474.88 pound* of but-
t rfat in 806 days.
Put on test st ths suggestion of
thn county agent, W. M. L>vo, shs
almost doubled the 260.5 pounds of
butterfat required for a register of
merit by the American Jersey Cattle
Club. Her milk production in this
period was 9,405 pounds or an
average of about three and one-half
gallons daily, which tested 5.05 per
cent. Milton sold the heifer's bull
cslf for 9200 and is said to have re-
fused 9700 for the cow.
