President Roosevelt is now look-
ing after the protection of the
Small Business man and the CON-
SUMER. He says they must have
protection against those who will
try to gouge them.
o
Boys, it is dangerous to kiss a
girl with panted lips. You are
liable to get poisoned with brucine
sulphate or dimethoy-strychnine
says a Chemistry Professor. Won-
der how the Professor found this
out?
o
"The big idea behind the 1934-
35 Government cotton plan is to
wipe out the 11,600.000 bale carry-
over without curtailing the cotton
farmer's purchasing power and
without shifting production from
cotton to other farm commodities
in an equally bad plight."

We have been informed that
there are many applicants for
Postmaster of The Claude Post
office, and that some have al-
ready sent in their applications
for said office. It looks like there
will be a warm tussle for the of-
fice. Only one will be named,
therefore we expect to see many
disappointed when that name is
announced.
o
The NRA has taught citizens of
this country that the use of child-
ren in industries means fewer jobs
for adults, and a lower salary for
adults. The Child Labor Amend-
ment has been ratified by more
than 20 states, although it has
been in the making since 1924.
The child labor Amendment will
be ratified one of these days and
when it docs it will be another
Contsitutional Amendment which
we will all be proud of.
o
Seventy million dollars will be
poured into the laps of the wheat
farmers, by the Government, thus
putting some money into cir-
culation. This will be raised to
one hundred million dollars this
Spring. Thought you said. "The
Firmer cannot be helped; he must
help himself'. After the Banks.
Railroads, Life Insurance Com-
panies, and many other institu-
tions were helped, and the panic
raged as if there had nothing hap-
pened at all, it was found tint
It was absolutely necessary to help
the farmers. Otherwise the PANIC
never would have subsided. Just
give the farmer a good crop with
a good price for it, and everybody
else will get theirs. When the
Qovemment helps the former it
la helping every other institution
In (his country, for the farmer
certainly puts money In circula-
tion, Mid when he does manufac-
turers, Mines and mills get a part
of that money which oomea into
the bands of the farmer.
The "Gap" between the 68 cents
which the fanner gets for his pro-
ducts and the $1.18 which he must
pay for products of other in-
dustries, is still 50 cents, and too
wide for the farmer to buy back
the goods necessary to help the
manufacturer very much at this
time. However the bonuses being
poured into the hands of the far-
mers, by the Government, will help
them in their buying power, there-
fore it is not so bad as it ap-
pears.
o
Don't forget that the Schemers
are hot after 21 billion dollars
Money saved up by depositors of
the banks of this country. That
is why those having a little sav
ings of some kind are constantly
receiving advise as to HOW THF
MARKET IS GOING; what is saf
est to buy and why you should
buy this or that. Etc. As Pat
Ncff once said while speaking at
the First Baptist Church here:
"Save your money, save every dol-
lar of it."
o
The Manufacturers, themselves
furnish you with the following fig-
ures: "In 1931. the last year for
which figures are ready, they re-
ceived $41,521,147,000 for manu-
factured goods. In the same year
they paid their laborers, $7,255,-
692,000. Take a pencil and piece
of paper and figure it out for
yourself, and you will find th!',1
these manufacturers received near-
ly six times as much money as
they paid out for labor. It is n
cinch that they did not pay out
one-half the balance for goods
and overhead.
In February we are to have
an eclipse of the Sun which will
be over before it starts. It will
begin February 14. cross the In-
ternational Date Line where it
will end on February 13th. That
] reminds this editor of a trip he
made on the train, in which he
left Farwell and landed in Clo-
vis, New Mexico, thirty minutes
before he left Farwell. We left
at 12 noon and landed at ClOvis
at 11:30 a. m„ just thirty minutes
before we left Farwell. Farwell is
where mountain time sets in.
therefore there is a difference of
one hour at Clovis and Farwell.
o——
Our present method of electing
the President and Vice-Present is
out of date according to Senator
Morris. He believes that the Presi-
dent and Vice President should
be elected by a direct vote of the
people, and the Senator is abso-
lutely correct. Under the present
system it is almost impossible to
elect a president without the par-
ty running for this office be a
nominee of one of the two old
parties. To hades with the con-
vention methods of any kind. Let
the people Know and Let the peo-
ple Rule.

The First State Bank of Claude
showed in their statement in last
week's Claude News, over one hun-
dred thousand dollars deposited,
subject to check. This is an ex-
cellent showing, quite a bit bet-
ter showing than they have had
for some time. The First State
Bank of Claude is allied with thfl
National Guarantee Fund, in which
all deposits in this bank are pro-
tected up to $2,500 for each in-
dividual depositor. The First State
Bank went into this National Guar-
antee fund on their own accord,
just to protect their depositors,
giving up over $313 for their in-
itial payment to the National
Guarantee fund. The First Nation-
al Bank of Claude statement in
| last week's Claude News showed
I up well and this bank, with all
other National Banks belong
to the National Guarantee Fund
in which each individual deposi-
tor is protected up to $2,500. should
the bank fail in business. After
July the 1st this Bank's deposit
ors will be protected up to $!0-
000 00 for each individual deposi
or. Both the Claude Banks are
in better shape than they hav
been for months, and at no time
did either bank show any weak-
ness whatever, therefore all pa-
trons of both banks were in no
danger of losing money placed in
them.

Some time last year this edi-
tor suggested that we have over
ten billion dollars printed and
put Into circulation. Now, Presl-
relief wort. Our
for Ooogreas to Issue ten billion
dollars In green hacks WITHOUT
INTEREST, to pay national In-
debtedness and for relief work,
while the President la asking that
Govenime'tit bonds be sold in or*
der to borrow ten billion dollaro
for said relief wjrk, and Indeb-
tedness. The difference Is to bor-
row ten billion dollars from money
lenders, would necessitate paying
back something like 40 billion dot
lars if borrowed for a period of
40 years, or more; while to Issue
green backs directly by the Oov
ernment would mean that we would
pay no money whatever for the
use of this ten billion dollars in
greenbacks which the Govern-
ment would print and would
issue. But some wise egotist says:
"Where are you going to get the
backing to back ten billion dol
lars issued in greenbacks". Buddy,
we will use the VERY SAME
BACKING the Government uses
to back the ten Billion-Dollar
Bond Issue, which the government
must back if we sell Bonds to
money lenders. If we can back
ten billion dollars worth of Bonds
which are sold to the money len-
ders. then wc can just as easily
USE THAT SAME BACKING to
issue the ten billion dollars worth
of GREEN-BACKS, and distri-
bute out to those who might lose
their homes or business, taking
gilt edge security for same, or as
good a security as may be had
at this time.

JOHN. F. GRANT SAYS:
This new deal idea should spread
to the Republicans of Texas, at
least to the extent of getting n
new deal in party leaders in the
state, in the opinion of John F
Grant, leading Republication and
noted lumberman of Houston.
In a short interview here Mr
Grant stated:
"Now is the time for all true
Republicans of this state to de-
mand a new deal. We must rid
our party of such officers as R
B. Creager, national committman.
and manipulator of the party or-
ganization in Texas. Texas greatly
needs the sensible realistic, con-
structive philosophy which the Re-
publican can give. But Texas will
never respect or place its offices
in the hands of a party dominated
by men of the Creager type.
"Republicans who have princi-
ples, rather than patronage, at
heart, must insist on his resign-
ation as national committeeman
Not until Mr. Creager either steps
down or is removed can we hope
for party prestigee or party gain
in Texas.

THE HOME-TOWN WEEKLY
By
Judge Jole F, Smith
Speaking for myself and the
Authors and Writers Press Syn-
dicate, I am partially glad to take
notice of the fact that numerous
editors are writing letters to lis
which show that they are seeing
the necessity for blowing their
own horns loud enough so that
their towns and surrounding count-
ry will hear those horns tooting
constantly.
This, mind you, is nothing in the
nature of "bragging". Those who
will take notice of the bigger and
more popular city daily papers will
discover that those, papers are
constantly calling attention to
their own good quelities.
This attitude, of which the edi-
tors of the weekly press are be-
ginning to take notice, Is having
its beneficial influence upon the
entire local population, for that
"ame local population is begin-
ning to wake up to the fact that
the home-town weekly is a first
j necessity In their offices and
j homes.
Another good that is resulting
i < in this attitude I:; that It Is
[creating and building optimism
::nd self confidence in the minds
of the people. In nil things one
docs toward mnklng life hnppler
and better, there is one clement
that must never be r,hut out, and
that element Is best described by
using the word ENTHUSIASM.
It Is one of the biggest words
In the English language, bccause
Its true meaning signifies that
(■he enthusiastic man or women is
at that time "in Ood".
WHAT THE STARS INDICATE
By
Madam Delphina
January 17th: On the heels of
general Industrial dissention, to-
day the third of five consecutive
and destructive efforts to help In-
dustry will manifest in some ad-
ministrative measure, but the gov-
ernment Is not In great power at
this time. Health and personal in-
terests of the people will re-
ceive attention and some remark-
able escapes from death are likely.
A fortunate time for social, crea-
tive business enterprises.
January 18th: Disruptions where
foreign interests are concerned and
the number and prominence of
divorces will be noticable.
January 19th: A very favorable
time for traveling and journal-
istic work. The mind will be es-
pecially active and creative. An all
around good day, comparatively.
January 20Lh: Financial dif-
ficulties with foreign countries and
partners in business, and they will
take a queer turn. Creative
thought will be at high tide today.
January 21st: A good thing to-
day is Sunday-keep it holy, for
many accumulated adverse influ-
once will make any business deals
today a source of contenial worry.
A fine day for pleasures and en-
tertainments, but dangerous for
traveling. Sudden strife in in-
dustrial and agricultural circles is
emminent.
January 22nd: Legal action like-
ly to follow farmers' or indus-
trialists' strike.
January 23rd: Favorable action
on foreign disputes likely. Best
not to travel. Sober people are
likely to become witty today. Be-
ware of indiscreet actions.
ANSWERS:
To E. W. The line of work which
you contemplate taking up is not
that in which you would be most
likely to succeed. I fear that out-
side influence has been brought
to bear to cause you to make that
choice, for the indications are n-
gainst your being fitted for that
work.
NOTE:
Address your letter with any im-
portant question In care of the
Editor of this paper, giving name
and address also when and where
born, and enclosing a 3c stamp.
It will be farwarded to the of-
fice of the A and W. Press Syn-
dicate, and through that Syndi- j
cate the answers to your ques-
tions will be sent to this paper I
to be published.

fitted by the reopening. The em-
ployees will go on a forty hour

"The tide lias definitely turned."
Mr. Ostrander said. "Nowhere is
thus better indicated than in the
fact that two and a quarter mil-
lion persons turned out in New
York City to visit the recent Ford
tiMtlve of the trend at the "if
and the greatly augmented boy'
lng Interest of ooniumers. The
reopening at Industrial plants
thoroughly the country Is another
evidence of the changed condition*
prevailing today."

HAW TON
FORTY YEARS IN WILDERNESS s
""PI IK distance from Egypt to the Promised Land is no longer
tluyi the trip from New York to Buffalo. Moses might easily
have led his people over the route in a few weeks, instead of which
the wanderings occupied forty years. Guided by divine wisdom,
he saw the necessity for a long period of isolated
discipline. They were slaves wnen he started with
them; they were an organized self-governing
nation when, at length, he clinied to the pinnacle
of Mount Pisgah and looked across into the
Promised Land, which he was permitted to see
but not to enter.
So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there
in the land of Moab, according to the word of
the Lord.
And he (the Lord) buried him in a valley
in the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor;
but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this
Bruce Bsrton day.
Tlow well he had done his work was immediately apparent.
Joshua, whom he had chosen to succeed him, took hold without a
hitch and completed the journey into Canaan. He, too, was a man
of vision. As a young man, he had been sent by Moses with eleven
others to spy out the Promised Land. Ten of the twelve came back
with a faint-hearted report.
It is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof; and all the
people we saw in it are men of a great stature.
And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of
tin giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so
we were in their sight.
Thus you can always get a majority vote to do nothing to take
no chances, Hut there was a minority report. Joshua and Caleb,
a ithotit minimizing the difficulties, protested stoutly that the land
.v.is fertile and worth fighting for. They brought back samples of
fruit to prove their contention, but It was a long time before the
people had the courage to move on.
Joshua was a soldier and was much needed for the work which
Moses had left to be done. He led his people across the Jordan,
"tigineered the successful attack upon Jericno, the walled city of
the unfortunate people who happened to lie in possession the
Promised Land, and conducted a triumphal campaign which was
about as savage as any war could be. Finally, his work completed,
he called his people together for a farewell address of great dignity
and power "Behold, this day 1 am going the way of all the earth,"
he told ihein; and with that he laid aside his arms and died.
Comes now a picturesque succession of leaders, called Judges,
with whom we can tarry only a moment in this rapid survey. There
was a woman, Deborah, among them, whose stirring battle-hvmn
is one of the first recorded poems. There was a keen fighter named
Gideon, a shrewd strategist, who equipped his slender force of
three hundred men with chariot lights and trumpets and attacked
at night.

LESSON
Ijr Charles E. Dunm |
Jesus Beyins His Ministry
Lesson for Jan 21 si. Mall. 4 :12-23
Gulden Text: Matt. 4:17.
The lesson presents the Master as
preacher, recruiter, and healer. As a
preacher lie proclaimed the -airie
message heralded by John, "Repent!"
The word literally -
means"Change
your mind." W'e
are to cultivate a
new point of view,
to cherish a differ-
ent outlook, a
fresh vision.
As a recruiter
He summoned to
his side four men
of varied capacity
and outlook. The
first and most im-
portant was
Simon Peter, the
leader of the
Twelve. We remember all his faults.
He was boastful. He was prayerless
at Gethsemane. His hot zeal got the
better of him when he cut off the
ear of the high priest's servant. \nd
he openly disavowed his Master
W'th oaths. And yet what a tower of
strength he became, a veritable rock
of fiibraltar!
The second recruit was Andrew,
Peter's brother. He is the common-
place, unheralded hero of the gospel
record, the quiet, unobtrusive helper
who seldom appears in the swiit
drama of Jesus' career So far a*
wc know, he bad no special gift..
Apparently he performed no miracle.
Neither did he found a church. And
yet this one-talented man used h's
inferior endowment with rare sweet-
ness and nobility.
The other two new disciples were
cousins of Jesus, Janie^ and John,
the "Sons of Thunder." With Peter
they enjoyed a special intimacy with
tbe Master. Tlicy were men of
similar spirit, who journeyed to-
gether when the Twelve were sent
out two by two to preach the King-
dom of God. James, because his life
ended with an early martyrdom, did
not reach the distinction of his
brother. But he was a devoted soul.
John, of course, i* given a special
place of preeminence as "the disciplt
whom Jesus loved."
As healer, we find the Master
overwhelmed by a host of pathttic
sufferers, the victims of both physi-
cal aad mental ailmtnu.
