the duties of the office with

heavy use of newspaper adver
tising, the Continental Oil Com-
pany today announced that its
1938 advertising appropriations
for newspaper space will be in-
creased 17 per cent over the
1937 expenditures.
Continental, during the com-
ing year will allot to the daily
and weekly press about 66 per
cent of all that is to be spent
on consumer media and will
place advertising in approxi-
mately 1250 newspapers. The
new advertising will continue
to deal with Conoco Bronze
Gasoline and Conoco Germ Pro-
cessed Oil and the action of this
lubricant due to the presence
of a product of the research
laboratories, in fotrming an
abnormally tough (film that
stays on metal surfaces even
while the motor is idle, instead
of draining off.
The new campaign, which
has been carefully checked for
reader response in selected test
areas at Colorado Springs, Colo.,
and in Richmond, Va., will also
stress the position of local
Conoco dealers as "milegae
merchants" who are indepen-
dent of the company and must
deal with the customer on the
basis of their own ability and
standing in the community they
serve.

o
people. I have had a common
interest with you many times
in your county's problems and
it is my hope that I may now
be enabled to come among you
and have the pleasure of know-
ing each of you personally.
Having been for several years
an officer of your sister county
of Smith, I should be pleased
to have you make inquiry of
people in all walks of life who
may be known to you there
regarding the record of service
I have made in order that you
may know something of my
conception of public duty as
well as my ability to satisfac-
torily fill the office to which I
now aspire. I have tried, in
oflficial position, to exemplify
my belief that a public office is
a public trust.
I am certain that there is
nothing in which your county
or any one of its citizens may
ever be interested which would
not have my earnest concern.
Should I be elected, your interest
will be no less my own.
It is after much, deliberation
that I enter this contest. Real-
izing the strength and fine
qualities of those candidates
who will be opposed to me, a
victory would be an inspiration
to exert my utmost effort to
accomplish something in the
cause of human welfare.
The power of our national
Congress is great. It should be
used as a guaranty of liberty.
It must never be made the in-
strument of oppression. Should
I realize my ambition by be-
ing elected to membership in
this august body I should like
to think of my conception of
your trust and confidence in
the words of the immortal

Hugh McAlister
Enters Race for
District Clerk
Hugh H. McAlister authorized
his name to be placed in the
announcement column last week
for the office of District Clerk.
Mr. McAlister is one of the
most widely acquainted men
throughout the county, and his
having previously served Wood
County as treasurer gives him
a valuable insight into the
workings of the county. He be-
lieves that his experience and
ability qualify him for this
important office of the county,
and urges the electorate to
give him due consideration at
the Democratic primaries July
23.
More than 4,000 Texans join-
ed the ranks of home owners
during the last half of 1937
through loans obtained from
Texas insured savings and loan
associations, according to fig-
ures just compiled by the Fed-
eral Home Loan Bank of Little
Rock. In the six months' period
just closed 4,409 loans aggregat-
ing $8,215,000, were granted to
Texas home owners. Of this
amount $4,200,000 was used
to build new homes and $2,200,-
000 advanced to assist 1,175
Texans to purchase existing
dwellings. Included in the ccimf-
pilation are the figures of the
Mineola Federal Savings and
Loan Association, which partici-
pated actively in the local
home financing field.
Throughout the Ninth Dis-
trict, composed of the States
of Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and New Mexico,
served by the Little Rock bank,
the total loans for the six
months' period were $19,495,000,
approximately half of which
went into the construction of
homes, and $6,000,000 was used
for purchases. Attention was
called to the fact that these
loans were made to 10026 bor-
rowers, averaging $1,944 each,
evidencing the service the asso-

ciations are performing to the
owners of small homes. It was
also pointed out that this wide
distribution of loans and the
consequent diversification of the
lending risks give the associa-
tions greater security for the
Ifunds advanced.
Officials of the bank express-
ed gratification at the large
volume of home financing busi-
ness being done by insured as-
sociations, which they attribute
to the attractiveness of the
loan plan now available to bor-
rowers. They said the long time,
monthly amortized loan plan
offered by the associations, un-
der which principal and in-
terest payments are about
equal to rent, is proving very
popular to home owners. /
As another indication of im-
proved business conditions, the
bank pointed to the increased,
continued flow of investment
funds into the associations,
which during the six months'
period in Texas amounted to
$5,200,000. Funds placed in the
associations are insured against
loss up to $5,000 for each in-
vestor by the Federal Savings
and Loan Insurance Corpora-
tion, Washington, D. C.
