TRADING PAN AMERICAN CULTURE
Fifty years of Pan Americanism will be cele-
brated April 14. and the peoples of 21 republics
in North and South America will pause briefly to
reflect on the importance of strong alliances as
protecting bonds among countries in the Western
Hemisphere. Commemorative exercises will be
held throughout the United States during the
week of April 8-15, and, by presidential proclama-
tion, Sunday, April 14, has been set aside as Pan
American Day.
This may be a pretty good time to consider what
we can get out of swapping ideas and culture with Latin
America. We in the United States have always been
a little egotistical about our way of life, and it is good
that we should be so. We are firmly convinced that
ours is the best civilization on the face of the earth—
and it is, of course, for us. But we must be careful not
to try to impose our own ideas on countries south of
the border. We must appreciate the fact that both
our culture and our political system may be wholly
unadaptable for South or Central American nations.
It's all right for us to like the music of Paul
Whiteman. But so is it all right for South Ameri-
cans to like Julio Martinez Oyanguren's guitar
music. We think highly of Victor Herbert, but
Brazilians are just as proud of their opera com-
poser, Carlos Gomez. We are pretty cocky about
our painters like Grant Wood, but Argentina feels
the same way about her Cesareo Bernaldo de
Quiros.
Basically, we're satisfied with the kind of govern-
ment we have and with the way we handle social prob-
lems. The Latin American members of the Pan Am-
erican Union are democracies, and that's all that is im-
portant. Their forms of democracy may look different
from ours, but they have been evolved to meet the con-
ditions and needs of the people. When better forms of
government become apparent, they will be adopted.
Our co-operation with Latin America doesn't depend
upon our virtually annexing the other republics.
Just as we have always traded ideas with Eu-
rope, so we can do it with the countries to the
south. But it must be trading—on an equal basis.
It must not be done as a missionary venture. We
must recognize the fact that even the most primi-
tive colony in the remotest part of the world has
a civilization of its own that is entirely satisfactory
to its people.
There's a lot we can get from South America. There's
a good deal we can give. It is to this give-and-take proc-
ess we should dedicate ourselves fully in our ensuing
relations with our neighbors.

1 Killed in Fight
Over 25c Rooster
HOUSTON — (UP) — Funer-
al services will be held Monday
for W. H. Slaydon, 42, who was
killed in a fight between two
fathers and two sons over a
rooster.
W. R. Blair, 72, was held in
county jail on a murder charge
in connection with the shooting
of Slaydon. Blair had been
wounded slightly over the left
eye by a shotgun pellet.
Henry Slaydon, 23, and Ellie
Lilburn Blair, 32, sons of the
two men, were in a hospital suf-
fering from knife wounds. Young
Blair was cut seriously on the
head and face and young Slay-
don suffered body wounds.
The young men were charg-
ed with assault to murder. All
charges were filed before Justice
W. C. Ragan.
The fight occurred Saturday
night. The Elder Blair said that
he had bought a rooster from
Henry Slaydon for 25 cents but
that the youth's father demand-
ed $5 after the Blairs had kill-
ed and eaten the fowl.
W. R. Blair said that his son
and Slaydon's son began to fight
with knives. Slaydon ran to his
home, got a shotgun and fired
at him three times, Blair said.
The older man shot Slaydon in
the stomach, killing him.

'Easter Parade'
Cut Off Program
AUSTIN — (UP) — In the
midst of Gov. W. Lee O'Daniel's
Easter morning broadcast from
the mansion, with 100 Easter
oggs and many flowers around
the "front room," he announced
"While the Easter spirit is no-
ticeable, let's have "the Easter
parade."
Manfully the hillbilly boys
started the melody but radio
listeners heard only a few
notes.
Station announcement inter
rupted with the explanation
that "the Easter parade" is a re-
stricted composition which ra-
dio circuits may not reproduce
without permission.
The governor's Easter mes-
sage was a call to try religion
for the world's woes.
"Friends," he said, "it's time
to change our ways. It's time
to try religion. It is impractical
to stage a sit-down strike on
God and expect our pay checks
to keep on coming regularly
from the government."
Rabbit Drive Is
Set at Blackland
Farmers of the Blackland com-
munity have made plans for a
rabbit drive on Friday, March
29. Participants in the drive are
to meet at the Blackland school,
eight miles northwest of Sweet-
water, at 9 a. m.
Ammunition will be available
and dinner will be served. There
are plenty of rabbits to provide
sport for all who will take part
in the drive, according to re-
ports from the community.

Fighting New York District Attorney
or
Working to Liquidate Murder, Inc.
BY ROBERT MUBEL
NEW YORK — (UP) — Mur-
der, Inc., dealt out death-on-the
dotted line.
A verbal contract—a few dol-
lars passed — a body encased
in cement and tossed into a riv-
er—another thrown from a
speeding automobile — a man
tied still alive in a sack with such
cunning that the inevitable re-
laxing of tired muscles, meant
strangulation.
That was death de luxe — a
service for the underworld to
rid itself of those of its own who
had become too dangerous, too
demanding or irritants in one
way or another. As the amazing
story unfolds from the office of
District Attorney William
O'Dwyer of Brooklyn, it was big
business in the bloodiest sense
with dozens of profitable kill-
ings on the books.
Murder, Inc., is in the process
of liquidation now by O'Dwyer.
A dozen of its members are in
custody, several are trying to
talk themselves out of the elec-
tric chair, and gangland murd-
ers half forgotten in the case of
unsolved records are being mark-
ed off as closed chapters. In the
opinion of prosecutors, it is one
of the great mass murder stories
of our time.
O'Dwyer, has named the men
he rates as "vice presidents."
Above them, he is convinced, is
a highly placed business man or
a politician whose direct subor-
dinates are gang leaders whose
names are not usually identified
with the Brownsville hoodum
types. Five of these "vice pre-
sidents" are in jail on murder
charges in the slaying four years
ago of Danny Meehan who tried
to muscle into the Brooklyn
rackets, and the killing of Red
Alpert, 19, a small fry member
of their own gang.

Movie Gambling
House Wrecked
HOLLYWOOD — (UP) — Hol-
lywood's big-time movie gambl-
ers today surveyed the wreck-
age of the famous Glover Club,
to which sheriff's officers had
applied battering rams in lieu of
admittance cards, and sought a
new location for perhaps Amer-
ica's biggest .dice games.
•Sheriff Capt. George Con-
treras confiscated a list of
"members", which he said con-
tained the names of dozens of
movie notables, smashed mir-
rored doors and secret panels,
carted away roulette wheels and
dice tables, shooed formally
dressed patrons home, and left
two deputies in the lobby to
see that the wheels didn't start
clicking again. He had made no
arrests, but said he was investi-
gating the club's mysterious
owners.
Kansas to Meet
Indiana for Title
KANSAS CITY — (UP) —
Basketball's opportunity boys,
the University of Kansas Jay-
hawkers, rested Monday in prep-
aration for their last and biggest
hurdle along the way to the
National Collegiate Athletic asso-
ciation championship — the final
on Saturday against Indiana.
Kansas moved -up to the final
last Saturday night by defeating
Southern California, 43 to 42,
in the last 17 seconds of play.

INCREASE—
(Continued from page 1)
Department officials estimate
that approximately 8,000,000
bales will be marketed abroad
during the cotton year ending
July 31. An additional 7,500,000
bales probably will be consumed
in this country, bringing total
demand to about 13,500,000 bales.
The department has estimat-
ed 1940 production at 11,500,000
bales. Market needs are being
met. by withdrawal of cotton
from the 14,000,000 bales surplus
accumulated at the beginning of
the cotton year.

HOUSTON — H. M. Hil-
burn, 35, filling station op-
erator, armed with his cash
box of $15 in nickles and
dimest and a negro bandit,
armed with a pistol, fought

eral small boys "helped"
Hilburn pick up his money
and about half of it was
missing.

of the home demonstration club
Thursday completed plans for
entertaining the Nolan County
Federation of Women's clubs

for a homemade hand lotion
made of a pint of vinegar mixed
with two ounces of glycerine and
a portion of rose water. Mrs.
Sanders also read an article
"Standardization," and one on
"Richer Ways of Living."
Mrs. C. C. Hodges will be next
hostess. At her home a feather
comfort will be made.

$95,000 Spent 011
New Residences
Nearly §95,000 has been ex-
pended in Sweetwater in the last
12 months for new homes, ac-
cording to the building permit
records in the office of City Sec-
retary W. H. Whaley .
A majority of the new homes
have cost an average of §2,800,
the most expensive being that
of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Schooler,
listed on the permit at §6,000
and located on Josephine street.
Most of the new residences
have been built in the northeast
section of the city, on six streets,
12th, 13th, Josephine, James,
McCaulley and Fowler. A large
per cent of the residences are
five-room frame structures, with
some rock and brick veneer and
a few stucco.
Latest permits issued for new
residences last week were to A.
A. Autrey, §3,100, for a five-
room, rock veneer at 1108 13th
street, and to R. W. Penton for
a four-room stucco, 1000 Cedar,
to cost approximately §1,500.
Permits issued last week
brought the total for the month
to $5,500 and for the year to §24,-
565.

State Anti-Trust
Act To Be Argued
AUSTIN — State's Attorney
Lloyd Davidson left for Wash-
ington Sunday to appear
before the U. S. supreme court
arguing validity of the penal
provisions of the state anti trust
I law. Validity is attacked in ha-
beas corpus proceedings by Her-

Peak of Pasture
Season Is Short;
Feeding Urged
Pastures, as a rule, are at
their best for not more than a
month or so, after which their
value declines rapidly, T. E.
Woodward, Senior Dairy Hus-
bandman of the Bureau of Dairy
Husbandry, points out in the
1939 Yearbook of Agriculture,
recently released by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture.
"Only in certain favored sec-
tions do pastures remain good
throughout the whole season,"
he comments. "Milk production
surveys show that milk yields
increase markedly at the time
pasture is at its best, but they
also show that the declines in
production are quite rapid there-
after. This indicates that dairy-
men depend too much upon
their pastures. Either supple-
mentary pasturage must be pro-
vided for use after the flush
season, or more grain, hay or
silage must be fed."
Roughage Needed
Dairy authorities also recom-
mend that hay, cottonseed hulls
or other roughage be provided
for cows throughout the pas-
ture season. Even during flush
grazing periods of the spring,
such dry roughage as hay or
cottonseed hulls is valuable to
prevent scouring and aid assimi-
lation of feed nutrients. Many
dairymen feed 4 to 8 pounds of
hulls, daily per head, to supple-
ment pasture, finding hulls very
convenient to feed with the
grain and cottonseed meal mix-
ture at milking time.
By turning milk cows on pas-
ture gradually in the early
spring, dairymen avoid sudden
change from dry roughage to
succulent, young grass which
may contain as much as 90 per
cent water and lacks sufficient
feed nutrients and dry matter
to meet the cow's requirements.
Where grass, alone, furnishes
grazing, it is important to avoid
over-grazing: but where clover
is available with the grasses, au-
thorities recommend close graz-
ing, as they do in bluegrass sec-
tions, to permit the growth of
clovers.
Bation Recommended
Because tender, abundant pas-
turage is high in protein, best
results come from changing the
winter dairy ration to such a
pasture-ration as the following,
feeding 2'As to 3 pounds of the
mixture for each gallon of milk
produced: 400 pounds of ground
ear corn with husks or milo
heads: 400 pounds of ground oats
or wheat bran; 150 pounds of
cottonseed meal: 9 pounds of
oyster shell flour or ground
limestone; and 9 pounds of salt.
After feeding this mixture 4
to 6 weeks to cows on good pas-
ture, a graduation change should
be made to the following mix-
ture as grass becomes tough
and mature; 400 pounds of
ground ear corn or mrlo heads;
400 pounds of ground oats or
wheat bran; 400 pounds of cot-
tonseed meal; 12 pounds of
grtiund limestone or oyster shell
flour; and 12 pounds of salt.
When the pasture is mature or
of low quality, 3 to 3l/2 pounds
of mixture, daily, are needed for
each gallon of milk produced.
It is important that milk cows
receive ample grain and rough
age during the summer to pre-
vent loss of weight and produc-
tion; and, in the words of Mr.
Woodward, "It seems that mid-
summer is the time when the
greatest improvement in the
feeding of cows can be made."
LEW JENKINS—

rounds.
Asked if he was not taking a
chance in meeting young Shar-
key, Lew grinned and replied:
"You are always taking a chance
when you climb into the ring.
"But this is just a 'warm-up'
fight before the scheduled title
fight with Ambers. If I can't lick
Junior, then I can't expect to
beat Ambers."
To a question as to what ho
believed his chances were again-
st Ambers, Lew replied:
"Why I'm going to win,
of course."
Jenkins was not boasting nor
was he being cocky. The Sweet-
water lad is just confident. Hy-
mie Caplan, Lew's present mana-
ger, credits Jenkins' confidence
for the success the lad has at-
tained in the fight arena. Cap-
lan, who has managed fighters
for more than 20 years, says con-
fidence is one of the prerequisi-
tes of a good fighter.
Lew said he Intended to
win the lightweight crown
by knocking out Ambers.
"I know Lou is a clever fight-
er and a good puncher. And ev-
en If I do not knock him out,
I'll win by outpointing him."
Fight experts say the Jenkins-
Ambers fight "will lw> a Lew-
Lrtu.' *"
