Ward School
P-TA to Help
Community Chest
With full confidence in the
cooperative spirit of the Ward
School P-TA, and in behalf of
every member, Mrs. C. C. Sims,
president has pledged sub-
stantial support to the promo-
tion of the Community Chest,-a
worthy project, now well under
way through the thoughtful
foresight of the Junior Cham-
ber of Commerce and American
Legion
The official drive, already be-
gun, will be intensified Mon-
day and Tuesday. Each home
will be solicited for donations
of money or clothing By Tues-
day noon.
Each member of P-TA is
asked to stand back of our
president's promises by giving
generously to the Chest in
order that provisions may be
made for needy children of
the school and community.
While several members are
giving their time in soliciting
and collecting for the Chest,
it is still to be remembered
that the one thing that will
make this drive tremendously
successful is individual dona-
tions of those who answer the
door to give generously. The
smallest donation will be gra-
ciously and gratefully received
for it will take many pennies
to reach the goal.

Neill's Style Shop
College Station, Jan. 18—Re-
cent advances in cotton prices
have made it possible for cot-
ton farmers to withdraw prof-
itably much of the cotton plac-
ed under the 1938 loan, ac-
cording to Donald L. Cothran,
State Agricultural Conserva-
tion Association committeeman
from Caviness.
Urging that all producers
withdrawing cotton from the
loan make certain they receive
full value for their equity, Coth-
ran declared that weekly bul-
letins will be posted in county
AAA offices to make price in-
formation available to all the
farmers.
In order to secure possession
of varehouse receipts covering
cotton placed under the 1938
loan, the producer must make
the following payments:
First, face value of the note.
Second, interest at the rate
of four per cent from the datej
of the loan until Nov. 1, 1939.
Third interest at the rate
of three* per cent from Nov. 1,
1939, until the loan is liquidat-
ed.
Fourth, storage charges at
the rate of 25 cents per bale
per month from the date the
cotton was first placed in stor-
age until July 31, 1939.
In addition, the state com-
mitteeman pointed out, the
producer must pay to the ware-
house storage charges accruing
after July 31 amounting to
15 cents per dale per month
from August 1 to November 1,
and 12 y2 cents per bale from
November 1 until the cotton
rs lemoved from the ware-
house, provided it is removed
within 15 cays after its re-
lease.
The Commodity Credit Cor-
poration has acquired title to all
cotton placed under loan in
1934 and 1937 and not previous-
ly redeemed, Cothran said.
