Jaycees Hear
Plans for Farm
Market Here
Page Three
Members of the Junior Cham-
ber of Commerce and a num-
ber of visiting merchants
heard a discussion Monday
night of a proposed farmers'
market in Mineola. And this
week the club is going ahead
with plans to make the project
a reality within the next few
months.
S. T. Brogdon and Monroe
Pritchett discussed the farmer's
viewpoint. E. P. Parrios of
Dallas, representative of the
T. & P. Railroad, also spoke
offering suggestions and the
assistance of the T&P. Several
businessmen spoke, expressing
a need for such a market here.
President Stamen appointed
a committee of Jaycee. to work!
with a committee of local mer-{
chants and farmers in drawing
chants and farmers in draw-
ing up a workable program
which might be followed in
securing the market.
o
Hot Check Writer
Gets by With Small
Change Deals Here
A hot check writer, giving the
names of Brewer and Powell,
took Mineola merchants for
several dollars Tuesday in small
deals.
The man bought merchandise
at several stores, including the
Safeway Grocery, and Brazel- j
ton Lumber Company, and gave'
checks for only a dollar or two!
more than his purchase amount- '
ed to. He made it look real by
leaving his merchandise at
the store where he purchased
it until he could "get a load
of cotton seed unloaded."
The Lyon-Gray Lumber Com-
pany and one or two other
places are said to have turned
him down on checks. Officers
are on the look-out for the man.

Social Ice Breakers
Here are new recipes for party
success! Peg Chow and Tglka
(you play both on the same board)
are scoring a double header sue
cess in parlor sport circles. Telka
is an exciting new development of
Chinese Checkers invented by
George S. Parker. You jump pieces
in any direction and capture the
enemy's when he strays from
safety zones. Peg Chow is a varia-
tion of Chinese Checkers played on
a peg board. Crossword Anagrams
is another favorite; it's a variation
of the Crossword Lexicon craze
that's played with Crossword Lexi
con tiles instead of cards.
Texas Cotton Up
In Grade, Down In
Staple, Report Says
Cotton ginned in Texas prior
to Oct. 18; 1938, was only slight-
ly higher in grade but was ap-
preciably longer in staple than
for the corresponding period
last year. Estimates by the
Bureau of Agricultural Econ-
omics indicated that 68 per
cent was middling white and
better, compared with 83 per
cent last season. Almost 34
per cent was strict middling
white and better, 34 per cent
was middling; 10 per cent was
strict low middling, and only
one per cent was low middling
and below. Cotton classed as
spotted accounted for 21 per
cent, and more than one half
cf this was strict middling and
better.
This season only 34 per cent
was shorter than 15-16 inch
and 23 per cent was one inch
and longer, compared with 62
per cent and 8 per cent
respectively for these lengths
last season. Only 7 per cent
was shorter than 7-8 incih, 27
per cent was 7-8 and 29-32
inch, 43 per cent was 15-16 and
31-32 inch, 18 per cent was 1
inch and 1 1-32 inches, and 5
per cent was 1 1-16 inches
and longer.
Ginnings prior to Oct. 18,
1938, according to the Bureau
of the Census, were 2,321,193
bales compared with 3,122,706
bales ginned to the same date
.last year.

he Life of the Party
now Looks it!
When you've got something mighty
good and know it, it's not easy to
pas9 it up even for something better!
There's a whale of a temptation to play
it safe, to coast along a while, when
you're riding such a vote of confidence
as we've had this year.
We had ample evidence from the start
that our past season's good Buick was
the life of the 1938 party.
Right through the darkest months it
paced the industry in sales, setting a
bright example that shone like a sudden
sun smiling through the rain.
But itching in our heads and on our
drawing boards were ideas.
Ideas that started with practical things
like better cooling and more efficient
aerodynamics and a wider field of vision
for the driver and his folks.
Ideas that wouldn't stand still — that
budded, burgeoned, flowered full into
gorgeous new beauty of line and form
and action.
Ideas that promised to re-pattern motor
car design for the next half decade or
more!
Now, die price of progress is daring to
stake good things better—even if you've
got a winner to start with. Buick's whole
come-back has been based on that.
We couldn't refuse to climb while empty
rungs on the ladder beckoned us up!
So the life of the party now looks it. And
you'll see a Buick for 1939 of very dif-
ferent pattern, a car fit to fix the fashion
for many a long year to come.

Oil City Fortifies
With Agriculture
While Sailing Good
(By W. O. FINCH)
Oil the ninth and tomatoes
the first—all birthdays. Nine
happy birthdays done in oil are
Van's.
The thud of pumps, the
sputter of motors and the gur
gle of gold at pumping stations
and tank farms hum a busy
tune to eulogize the hearts and
souls of men who probed for
Van Zandt's hidden wealth
deep into the glory of adven-
ture.
Not long over nine years ago
the adventure of men that gave
birth to Van Zandt's Van were
unborn. Today winding rib-
bons of asphalt encircle a city
of wealthy homes and luxur-
ious schools and churches, and
the derricks that pierce the
half-lit sky by night bring the
thrilling gurgle of gold where
only the derisive fanes of owls
| echoed, • who-who, across the
sky ten years ago.
A once desolate farm peo-
I pie bowed down under time
1 and the empty dowery of
[ drudgery, suddenly had thrust
j upon them the finer things of
i life—dreams, gold, education,
and all the refining fascina-
[ tions of upper culture.
From adventures in oil Van
made her debut in agriculture
j claiming tomatoes high-handed
with many cars sent to North-
ern markets on her first birth-
day. Van made her quota of
the fruit in a triangle of Van
Zandt County towns in a high-
ly organized marketing plan
conceived to enhance the econ-
omies of distribution by large
closely centralized production
volume. This adventure in
tomatoes was designed to pre-
lude a plan to establish gen-
eral diversification farming
throughout the trade territory
and is to be continued more
intensively in subsequent years
with the other crops added.
To the Cooks, the Fowlers,
the Tunnels and all the other
classics of Van nativity, and
J. E. Rhodaes, Bill Quinn, C. B.
Senter and the other genera-
tors of progress whom your
magnetism has attracted, we
send greetings on Van's ninth
birthday. May the glitter of
golden oil and the sparkle erf
red tomatoes enrich your lives
all the way.

Bronchial Coughs
Need Creomulsion
Just a common cough, a chest
cold, or a bronchial irritation of to-
day may lead to serious trouble to-
morrow. They may be relieved now
with Creomulsion, an emulsified
Creosote that is pleasant to take.
Creomulsion is a medicinal com-
bination designed to aid nature in
soothing and healing infected mu-
cous membranes by allaying irrita-
tion and inflammation and by
aiding in loosening and expelling
germ-laden phlegm.
The Medical Profession has for
generations recognized the benefi-
cial effect of Beech wood Creosote in
the treatment of coughs, chest colds,
and bronchial irritations. A special
process was worked out by a chem-
ist, for blending Creosote with other
ingredients so that now in Creomul-
sion you get a good dose of genuine
Beechwood Creosote which is palat-
able and may be taken frequently
by both adults and children.
Creomulsion is one preparation
that goes to the very seat of the trou-
ble to help loosen and expel germ-
laden phlegm. When coughs, chest
colds and bronchial troubles-due to
common colds-hang on, get a bottle
of Creomulsion from your druggist,
use it as directed and if you are not
satisfied with the relief obtained,
the druggist is authorized to refund
your money. Creomulsion is one
word, ask for it plainly, see that the
name on the bottle is Creomulsion,
and you'll get the genuine product
and the relief you want. (Adv.)
