To the Voters Of
Chero' :ee County
As election draws near, I make a
final appeal on behalf of the can-
didacy of Maurice A. Walters who is
now serving his first term as Tax
Assessor-Collector of our County.
It is a time-honored Democratic
custom to give a second term to elec-
tive officers in Texas provided their
cervices are satisfatcory.
Maurice A. Walters is asking you
to elect him for a second term as
your Tax Assessor-Collector of Cher-
okee County,—not because it is the
custom to give an officer a second
term,—but because of the courteous
and efficient service he has given
you during his first term. Should
you honor him with a second term,
you can Count on hirti giving you
the same faithful service at all times
that he has given in the past.
I supported Maurice Walters in his
first Vfce and have never had cause
to regret the confidence I placed in
him. He has fully come up to my
expectations in rendering fair and
impartial treatment to all alike, and
on that basis I feel he is justly en-
titled to a second term at the hands
,of the people he has so faithfully
served,
To those who do not know him—
He was reared at Cove Springs, a
few miles west of Jacksonville. When
his father died, having a family of
ten children, he was the only boy
eld enough to carry on any work and,
helptd his mother rear the family
with the exception of the time spent
in France during World War No. 1.
His record for honesty and integrity
is heartily endorsed by his many
friends who have known him inti-
mately for many years.
You can't go wrong in honoring
him with a second term for which
he is asking you as you will con-
tinue to get the very best service of
which he is capable should you con-
tinue hi.x in office for another term.
A friend.

Legion To Collect
Phonograph Records
The American Legion and the Am-
erican Legion Auxiliary have under-
taken the collection of 37,500,000 old
phonograph records thru the coun-
try and Coleman Isgate Po.-t 293 will
sponsor the campaign in the south
part of Cherokee county. The maiter
was put before the post at its reg-
ular meeting Tuesday night by Po?t
Commander L. Lo«g who named
committees in different communities
to supervise the collection. Melvin
Sessions Und D. C. Stockton were ap-
pointed for Rusk.
The old records are to be collected
and sold to the record manufacturers
and the receipts fom this sale will
provide sufficient funds to furnish
new sets of records to all places
where men are stationed including
navy ships and Red Cross establish-
ments. Record players will be pro-
vided by the gr<v< lament.
The campaign is scheduled to end
August 2. People who have old rec-
ords of any kind, cylinder or disc,
whole or broken are asked to leave
them at the office of the county clerk
the county superintendent or at the
Cherokeean office. They are to be do-
nated.
Timber Recommended
As Paying Farm Crop
Wise and light selective cutting
each year or two embodies the most
profitable system of harvesting the
farm timber crop. According to C. W.
Summons, farm forester of the Tex-
as A. and iM. College Extension Ser-j
vice frequent cuts provide a stable j
income and keep woodland nearest:
to maximum productivity.
Cutting should be distributed over
a forest so as to remove trees of
sufficient maturity, or those which
are crowding or suppressing young-
er and more thrifty trees. Trees of
assorted 3izes and species suitable
for a variety of uses should be left'
with good growing space, according
to size and tolerance to shade, for
frequent harvesting.
All sizes of reserved trees grow at
a rapid rate after yearly or periodic
thinnings. A supply of seed is furn-
ished by the desirable species to re-
*seed the stump blanks. Selective cut-
ting with wise use conforms to tfye
home requirements and market con-
ditions.
"Waste and little-used trees may
be utilized for farm and other uses
\Hith proper equipment under this
system of cropping," Simmons ex-
plains. "All resources of the forest
may be produced and used wisely to
meet the farm and home require-
ments,- and the general demand."
' The forester suggests that it is
profitable to plant seedings where
de:irab;e species will not reseed
satisfactorily by natural methods. It
pays to thin and prune young forest
trees where such improvement be-
comes necessary. Some of the fresh
cut saplings removed as thinnings
should be treated with a suitable
chemical for fence posts. The lowest
cost method is using sections of pipe,
or other equipment, for the end-flow
treatment. Thi3 increases the life of
non-durable posts 10 to 15 years.
County agricultural agents have in-
formation on treating posts or oth-
er timbers where decap resistance is
important.

The Agricultural Adjustment Ag-
ency, which long has encouraged the
planting of winter legumes, already
has arranged for farmers partic.pa:- |
ing in the program to obtain seeds
and pay for them later out of pay- j
iments earned under the AAA pro- j
gram.
For the seeding f w n.e .
cooperating farmers can earn AAA
payments which pratically cover the
cost of the seed, Slaughter said.

Farmers Urged To
Increase Legumes
Growing /winter legumes will help
Texas farmers maintain their peak
productive strength.
Drawing on present soil fertility
without replacing may result in de-
clining food and fiber production lat-
er in the war and post-war period
when most of the world will be look-
ing to American farmers for food
and clothing, George Slaughter,
chairman, Texas AAA committee,
said.
Planting winter legumes, imainly
vetches and winter peas, is recog-
nized as one of the best methods of
restoring productive vigor to soils.
The seedings also are needed to re-
place nitrogenous fertilizer which is
(being diverted to manufacture of
munitions. The only effective substi-
tute for fertilizer diverted in this
manner, the AAA official explained,
is the growing of legumes that trans-
fer nitrogen from the air to the soil.
Present crop reports indicate that
seed poduction this year will be more

VOTE FOR HAROLD BECK

Your Main Street ... Is Our Main Street
On the Main street of every town and hamlet, every
community large and small throughout the Gulf
South, can be seen the men and women who have
placed normal living in the background.
Their first job now, like that of citizens throughout
the United Nations, is to help win the war. They
have rolled up their sleeves and are doing their
utmost to help utilize fully the rich, diversified
resources of this area . . . are helping Gulf South
industry produce more and faster until we've won
through to Victory.
Just as helping win the war is your first job, it is
also the No. 1 job of the more than 3,000 employes
of our organization. In towns and cities throughout
the Gulf South, they have always been a part of the
community in which they live. Now, (luring this
war crisis, they feel the responsibility to their
community and to their country more keenly than
ever before.
After the war is won—and we WILL win—your
Main street and our Main street will have a greater
significance than ever before. It will be symbolic
of a free and greater America.
