The exhibits in all departments were
well worth seeing. Most of our peo-
ple attended and felt well repaid.
The Hallowe'en party at the school
house last Thursday night was well
attended and thoroughly enjoyed by
all. Everyone entered heartily into
the games and stunts and much mer-
riment was caused by the antics of the
clowns, ghosts, etc. Refreshments of
pie, sandwiches, coffee and lemonade
were served. A carnival is to be held
at the school house the night of
Thanksgiving. Rehearsals are already
under way for the Minstrel Play, etc.

BALZAC UP-TO-DATE COMES
AS "HONOR OF THE FAMILY"
"The Honor of the Family," one of
Balzac's drollest stories—comes in ul -
tra-modern garb to the. screen of the
Colonial Theatre, Bay City, Tuesday
next. The picture, featuring Bebe
Daniels, Warren William and Alan
Mowbray is a First National release
and was filmed on ambitious scale.
"The Honor of the Family" was Otis
Skinner's most successful stage ve-
hicle. The plot involves the efforts
of a dashing, romantic young soldier
to save his wealthy uncle from the
intrigues of a charming young ac-
tress, with whom later he himself falls
in love.
(Continued from Pago 1.)
in buying will be more strictly adher-
ed to than ever before. Therefore it
will pay our turkey growers well to
handle their turkeys in the most ap
proved manner in order to market
their turkeys to the best advantage.
First the flock should be divided in
to three groups; the first move is to
take out the required number of hens
for next year's breeding stock, the best
shaped and growthy hens for next
season. The next pen should consist
of the early hatched birds. They should
be of oven size and weight and fed
heavily for the Thanksgiving market.
The third group should be the late
hatched birds. They should be fed
heavily right on through to get the
required weight and only sold after
all pin-feathers have disappeared.
A good ration to feed is made up
of GO pounds corn or grain sorghum,
20 pounds wheat shorts, 10 pounds
meat scrap, 4 pounds bone meal and
1 pound salt.
It will certainly pay to have your
turkeys in market shape this year and
we can market corn and other home
grown feeds through our turkeys to
great advantage.
Five grandsons of John Silver, of
London will share $15,000 provided
they do not drink or smoke or be vac-
cinated within 20 years.
RELIEF
From Headaches/
Colds and Sore Throat
Neuritis, Neuralgia
Don't be a chronic sufferer from head-
aches, or any other pain. There is
hardly an ache or pain Bayer Aspirin
tablets cannot relieve; and they are
a great comfort to women who suffer
periodically. They are always to be relied
upon for breaking up colds.
It may be only a simple headache,
or it may be neuralgia or neuritis.
Rheumatism. Lumbago. Bayer Aspirin
is still the sensible thing to take. Just
be certain it's Bayer you're taking; it
does not hurt the heart. Get the genuine
tablets, in this familiar package.
It is good to see farmers beginning
early to get their land ready for next
year's crops. Early breaking is al-
ways in order. The old vegetation
has tiime to rot when turned under
eariy, the soil can "weather" through
the winter, absorh plenty of moisture
and the seed bed has time to firm be-
fore the seed go into the ground and
then the farmer who breaks early
keeps his business ahead of him which
is mighty good "resurrence," (so Andy
says) in getting his crops in on time
and getting up a good stand.
Boat Trip on Tres-
Palacios Bay Sat.
A very pleasant week end was spent
aboard "Lady Pilot," Captain and Mrs.
E. R. Allen being in charge, having as
their guests, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie
Thompson and two children and Pat
Cox of Schulenberg; Mr. and Mrs.
Wallace Thompson and daughter, of
Bay City. We arrived at Palacios
at seven thirty, Saturday P. M. and
boarded "Lady Pilot," where a delic-
ious supper was served on the way to
the fishing grounds.
The first stop was at Palacios Point
where the men floundered and the la-
dies fished aboard the boat with won-
derful success.
Very little sleeping was done as
this was the first experience for most
of us to spend the night on the deep
blue sea. Most of us spent the night
fishing.
Next morning we had a good "get-
up," as the little boy expressed it af-
ter having slept in his clothes all nite.
It was the best "get-up" I ever had.
The morning greeted us with a clear
sky and mild breeze and at daybreak
"Lady Pilot" glided the waters to
Half Moon Reef, where one hundred
and eighteen fish were caught before
breakfast, mostly trout of very large
size. Then Captain Allen took us to
the Light House, where we were met
by a pleasant gentleman who showed
us through the lighthouse. Climbing
the lighthouse steps, where we in-
spected all the rooms and the beacon I
light, taking pictures of the light- j
house and keeper.
On our way back to Palacios we had
a strange happening by a "Pomp-a-all
fish, weighing a pound and a half,
jumping in our boat.
The best part of the trip was the
delicious fish dinner enjoyed aboard
on our return to Palacios. We all hope
to make another such trip.
—One of the Party.
The story of a woman who descends
to the lowest depths in order to insure
the happiness of her son is told in
"The Sin of Madelon Claudet," which
will play at the Queen Theatre next
Wednesday and Thursday. The pic-
ture was adapted from the Edward
Knobloek stage success, "The Lull-
aby."
Helen Hayes, the distinguished ac-
tress who scored on Broadway in "Co-
quette" and "Petticoat Influence,"
makes her screen debut in the pro-
duction and the cast includes Lewis
Stone ,Neil Hamilton, Robert Young,
Cliff Edwards, Jean Hersholt, Marie
Prevost, Karen Morley, Charles Win-
ninger, Alan Hale, Halliwell Hobbes,
Lennox Pawle and Russ Powell.
Thrown into Prison
Miss Hayes is called upon to effect
a striking change in makeup during
the course of the picture, in which she
is first seen as an attractive young
girl and later as a haggard old wo-
man. The plot concerns the melodra-
matic career of the girl from the time
she elopes with an artist against the
wishes of hpr funnily through the vic-
issitudes of her life, in which she is
thrown into prison and is subsequent-
ly forced to adopt the most shame-
ful means of livelihood in order to
support her child.
High points of dramatic interest
occur in the scenes in which the fa-
ther of Madelon attempts to coerce
her into marriage with a person whom
she despises; her escape from home
with Larry for America; the meet-
ing of Madelon and Boretti, in which
the ugly duckling becomes a swan.
Seven boys were fined for fight-
ing in Sunday school in Hurl, Eng.
I must be "all wet" in being so
soundly against this "raking and burn-
ing" of stalks, trash, etc., after each
crop in getting land ready for another
crop. I must be out of order in be-
ing so set against such practice be-
cause I find so many men doing it. On
the other hand it has been my exper-
ience that the man who continues such
practice year after year produces
smaller crops and sooner or later "dis-
appears from the picture" and either
goes down or manages to move onto
better land, saying that his old farm
is worn out.
This vicious practice of "raking and
burning" seems to be very common on
this rich, level land in South Texas,
but it will cause a rich section to be-
come poor and unproductive just as
it has in older sections of Texas and
the South. Why can't we learn to do
a few simple things in farming that can
never be wrong? And men who "rake
i and burn" get in your car and travel
j up through Central and North Texas
; and see the once rich black soils have
turned to thin, gray white soils thru
the one-crop system of clean cultiva-
tion and "raking and burning." Let
us wake up men, before we "mine"
this rich soil and leave our children a
worn out country simply by our own
I careless, don't give-a-durn way of
farming.
IMITATIONS
BEWARE
Mr. E. M. Kuykendall up in Gregg
County knocked a home run when
he bought a steam pressure canner
and sealer for his wife out of $28.00
received from culls out of his flock
of 98 hens. His wife canned 1800
containers of food for herself and
neighbors and he continued to get the
same number of eggs from his flock
as before the culling and at a decrease
of one-third in the feed bill.
Ranchers must resort to creep feed-
ing their calves If they want to stay
in business, in the opinion of some of
the- men who made a tour of inspec
I .
tion of McCulough County creep fed
calves recently. Twenty-one 4-H i
Club calves that had been on a creep j
feed for two summer months weighed
an average of 573 pounds as compared
with an average of 450 pounds for'
those not on creep feeders.

POi
in Your bowels!
Poisons absorbed into the system from
souring waste in the bowels, cause that
headachy, sluggish, bilious condition:
coat the tongue; foul the breath; sap
energy, strength and nerve-force. A little
of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will clear
up trouble like that, gently, harmbssly,
in a hurry. The difference it will :nake
in your feelings over night will prove
its merit to you.
Dr. Caldwell studied constipation for
forty-seven years. This long experience
enabled him to make his prescription
just what men, women, old people and
children need to make their bowels help
themselves. Its natural, mild, thorough
action and its pleasant taste commend
it to people of all ages. That's why
"Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin," as it is
called, is the most popular laxative
drugstores sell.
