MANY EXPECTED AT
CONSERVATION MEET
One of the largest and most rep-
resentative crowds ever assembled at
Amarillo is expected for that city
on Wednesday, September 8th, at
which time a meeting of the Pan-
handle Water Conservation Asso-
ciation, and similar groups from the
five-state dust bowl area will pay
honor to Congressman Marvin
Jones and other Senators and Rep-
resentatives of the Southwest for
the work done on the water and
soil conservation program at the
recent session of Congress, accord-
ing to John McCarty, President of
the Panhandle body.
The meeting will begin at ten
o’clock in the morning of Septem-
ber 8th, in the Crystal Ballroom of
the Herring Hotel, and will include
a barbecue at Jack Hall’s Ranch at
noon, and a program in the aft-
ernoon.
The Governors of the five south-
western states have been invited to
be present, and it is believed that
most of the Congressmen and Sena-
tors from the Southwest will be in
attendance.
The meeting will hear the report
of Carl Hinton, Secretary-Manager
of the Panhandle Water Conserva-
tion Association, who was recently
delegated by the five-state confer-
ence at Amarillo to aid in secur-
ing legislation for the pemHaiBd
part of the nation. It is also ex-
pected that definite plans will be
discussed for carrying out the pro-
gram with the greatest possible dis-
patch now that legislation and
funds have been secured which will
enable the program to be put into
effect.
Officials of the Association are
urging as strong an attendance as
possible, especially of Commission-
ers Courts, farmers, ranchers, busi-
ness men, county agents and any
citizens interested in soil atid water
conservation.

the demand for helium may increase

Right now, however, there is no

likely the new legislation would re-

probably in further development of

William Cummins who is employ-
«d -on the new Shamrock school
Unhiding was in the store this week
and was telling me that he had a
aeal Shamrock that he had had in
}iis possession for 49 years and that
it was well preserved and that it
was sent to him from Ireland and
that he was mighty proud of it and
would not part with it at all. In
talking to him I suggested that he
go and see Sol Blonstein for I felt
sure that they were both from the
same country.
I understand that the Kelton com-
munity is already making prepara-
tions for their community fair again
this fall and if there is any people
that can put on a good one it is
the bunch out there. They should
have a lot bigger and better one this
time than last year for the crop
conditions are much better and they
should have a lot bigger display of
farm commodities and I am sure
that there is no community that

Dennis Glenn pulled one of the
best dove barbecues last night out
at the United Gas company camp
I have ever attended. He had this
for the Coiumbian-United soft ball
team and had plenty of doves for
all who attended and they were
just about perfect. I understand
that Chas. Green was responsible
for the cooking of them and I have
never eaten anything better. I ima-
gine the company did not get too
much work out of the boys for I
think they have all been hunting
doves from September 1st until last
night and they did a nice Job of
getting them together.
I just received the Floor Wax and
Polish I was telling you about last
week and it is about the best thing
that I have ever seen in the way
of wax and polish. As I told you
I am going to sell this for a short
time only for 39c per pound and
I will guarantee it to be as good
as any you have ever used regard-
less of the price you paid for it.
Mrs. Calvin Johnson, Claude Da-
vis, Claude Brown and Arch Carey
are among those who purchased new
1938 Zenith Radios here this week
and every one sure is a booster for
Zeniths.
You know, last week I promised
all of you I would let you know just
how I came out with L. B. Hiner
in the golf match. Well, I beat him
and could have done a lot better
job of it than I did If I had really
borne down and went after him in a
big way but I felt so sorry for him
on a few occasions that I just did
not have the heart to let him have
the works. It would have been pretty
interesting to have heard a lot of
the conversation that he gave up
during the match. Bob Holt of
Wheeler took me out the very next
match and X am. going to start gun-
ning for him from now on in all
matches.
John Cadra was in the store last
week and bought enough of the
famous Pittsburgh Paint to paint
his house. I want everyone in pas-
sing his home to pay special at-
tention to the wonderful job on this
house.
F. T. Garrett was just in the store
and asked him if he knew anything
at all and he said, “No,” but if I
would give him time enough that
he could think of a lot of things
to say. He did finally say that he
would like to get up a team of soft
ball players and beat the Colum-
bian-United Gas team. I told him
that it would be fine with me if
he would do this and asked Lewis
Clement's opinion of it and he was
frank to tell him that he did not
think that he could do it.
It is not to far off until the foot-
ball season will be on in a big way,
for just this morning I saw Jack
Martin buying a football magazine.
He was telling everyone about some
of the past A. & M. football players
that they had and he seems to think
that they might come up again this
year with a good team, but some of
the boys told him to forget it, that
they doubted that they would win
a game this season.

and said in a voice trembling with
emotion. “I wouldn't wipe my feet on
the best man who ever lived, exoept
you.”
And he went back to his work
feeling real happy.
Last week X told everyone some-
thing about an electric razor I had
here for sale and you know I have
been trying to manipulate one of
the things all this week. It will do
the work and do it in a big way,
but any one Hot accustomed to
using one will have a tiny bit of
trouble getting started on it but
when you do, your shaving troubles
will be very light for all time to
come.
I am safe on one thing and that
is that there is not a man in town
that can owe as many bills as I
do the first of each month, in fact
I owed everyone in business this
month expect Flage Georgs at the
Postoffice and would have owed him
if he had let me have anything on
credit.
