The widow and her money are soon
parted so financial records shoitf. This
is not because her resources are so
small that it takes all she hqs to keep
the family, but because some smooth
salesman comes along and sells her
a chunk of blue sky which soon dissi-
pates into nothing but space. Most
women do not bother with financial
problems while the husband is living
to shoo the wolf from the door; but
they are left money to invest, either
from insurance or property inherited,
at the same time that they are bereft
of the buffer between them and the
fiscal world. This is a signal for the
onslaught of stock salesmen.
JDo not hasten to invest, no matter
how glibly the salesman may make
his proposition look alluring. Do not
put all your eggs in one basket. Do
not be deceived by promises of big
and sudden profits. There “aint no
-such animal.” Safe investments, as a
rule, do not pay big interest or div-
idends, because they are conservative
and do not take wild risks.
Most banks offer a service, without
cost, tirtheir patrons. They will give
you sound financial advice as to the
best way to invest your money safely.
Do not hesitate to consult them. Of
course, they may make a mistake, or
may even be crooked, but are much
more reliable than your own inexperi-
enced judgment or the normal sales-
man who has his own axe to grind.

if any.
THE SUNROOM
The best cold \yeather substitute
for the summer’s garden is the sun-
room. It is intended to be a gay
room, and cheerful colors are appro-
priate. It should have a south or east
exposure, and plenty of windows.
Neutral walls with gay furnishings
are in the best taste.
Wood lattices, painted green, may
be placed upon the walls and support
vines and English ivy. The ceiling
might be sky blue, and the floors call
for warm colors such as dark reds,
greens and browns.
Flowered fabrics in draperies, up-
holstering and cushions help to give
the illusion of summer. If these are
too riotous, tone them down by using
some plain linen or silk materials.
Sunfast and waterproof materials are
desirable for the sunroom. The cur-
tains should draw easily.
It is less formal and individual to
group various types of furniture
rather than to use sets. Willow or
reed chairs and little iron tables ere
attractive,
them a little large as the foot is larg-
er when not inside a stocking and it
is more difficult to slip the bare foot
into a snugly fitting shoe. If you
wear shoes number five, get the bed-
room slippers number six. Soft, felt
slippers are- comfy for lounging in
and may even be worn to bed if your
feet are cold. They* are-nice to wear
when you die down for a nap; but if
you start the breakfast before you
dress or go down to.the basement and
put coal in the furnace, it is better
to have the black kid slippers, which
are fleece lined. Milady wears
TAFFY PULL
For a frosty night, nothing is more
fun than a taffy pull. Here’s how:
Pour, into a sauce pan: four cups of
sugar, One cup boiling water, ■ two
tablespoonfuls vinegar and two
teaspoons of butter. Stir until the
sugar is dissolved, then put on to
boil. To tell when it is done, pour a
few drops into cold water. If it is
brittle, pour it into a well greased
pan and cool quickly. As soon as it
is cool enough
it is white.

SHRIMP COCKTAIL
Mix one can of shrimps, two cups
diced celery, one-fourth cup of chop-
ped sweet pickles, eight chopped pi-
mento-stuffed olives, salt, paprika
and three tablespoons of lemon juice.
Set away to chill and allow the fla-
vors to blend. Serve in sherbet
glasses, topped with thick mayon-
naise.
One of the most outstanding rec-
ords of the work done by the farmers
who were demonstrators and the 4-H
corn club boys was the production «f
corn with the cooperation of E. Gen-
try, county agent. There were 137
boys and 17 girls who had two acres
of upland each and they averaged 27
bushels and 14 pounds. The highest
yield was 51 bushels* and the lowest
yield was turned into a pasture be-
fore gathering.
Each of these club members fertil-
ized and cultivated, also planted, as
the county agent recommended. The
land that these club members used
the ordinary land of the farm.
SCHOOL PROGRESS AT
EDOM IS REPORTED
They reported that land of similar
fertility produced an average of 7
bushels to an acre. From these fig-
ures we see that the club members
made nearly four times as many bush-
els to the acre as the average of the
nearby farms and we believe that
they made even more than four times
more than the average of the county,
because under normal conditions the
census of 1925 and 1930 gave Smith
county a yield of 8 bushels.
These yields are true as each club
member either weighed every pound
or had a very close check on the
weight by neighbors. Again the club
boyS and girls have shown the adult
farmers how to make corn, and in
many cases the club corn will keep
the father out of the feed store for
1931.
It is rather strange in the face of
these yields that occasionally a father
does not give full cooperation to the
boy or jurl. It is time now for the
boys qn girls to sign up for 1931
in the corn club. Some have volun-
tarily come into the county agent’s
office and listed for another year.
We have understood that the Ki-
wanis club will make their 1930 re-
port soon and that they will sponsor
the corn clubs and the county agent
during 1931 with the 2 acres of up-
land.
Just as this is written, Gilbert Rice
came in and gave me the following
story. “I did not report last fall, Mr.
Gentry, for I thought my two acres
of corn was almost a failure, but
cut the corn for forage and this win-

silverware"'
Beauty, convenience and long wear
d or poor
oi silver
is what we desire in our silverware.
The most beautiful is sterling silver,
which is made of 92 parts of silver to
75 parts copper. The copper is ad-
ded for hardness. Sterling silver is
durable, but expensive.
Plated silver may be good
depending on the amount
used in the plating process. This is
indicated by pennyweight, marked
“dwt.”, or double or triple plate. The
silver is plated onto a base of Ger-
man silver or copper.
Triple plating should be a good sil-
ver and give long service. In this
ware, knives and forks are twelve
pennyweight; tablespoons twenty, and
teaspoons ten. Knives with stainless
steel blades are desirable.
In selecting silver, look at the
whole set to see if you like the vari-
ous pieces. Choose a pattern which
does not scratch easily; and see that
the handles are easy to hold.
PARSLEYEYED CARROTS
A colorful dish and one rich in min-
eral salts and vitamins is parsleyeyed
carrots. Wash, slice and (dice tender
young carrots, and cook them about
twenty minutes, or until tender, in
the least possible amount of salted
water. The water should be evapo-
rated off by the time the carrots are
cooked. To leave off the lid of the
kettle will aid the process.
The cooking must be carefully
watched or the carrots will burn. A
teaspoonful of sugar, added while the
carrots are cooking, improves them
for some tastes. When the carrots
have boiled practically dry, add two
tablespoonjs of butter and a table
spoon of chopped parsley and serve
inimediately.
Edom, Jan. 28.—Now that the bas-
ket ball season is nearing an end for
this term the Edom high school stu-
dents are preparing themselves for
the coming county meet. Those who
are entrants in the spelling contest
have already begun work, hoping to
help the school, for the second time,
bring back the Class B championship
cup.
The Senior English class has just
ended a prolonged study of “Snow-
bound” by Whittier. Each pupil mem-
orized the poem, but some not * so
well as others. The ten-page themes
which Were turned in week before
last were handed back with grades
ranging from fair to poor. The class
hopes to do better on their next ones.
The ninth grade has just finished
the study of quadratics in Algebra.
In the ninth grade English class
some of the pupils are showing that
they possess talent in theme and sto-
ry writing while every pupil in the
class is showing a decided improve-
ment in his work.
Progress in the 7th and 8th grades
is most noted in the English and his-
tory classes.
In two more weeks the basket ball
season will close. The Van Zandt
County Interscholastic League Tour-
nament will be held Feb. 6 and 7 at
Grand Saline.
After a hard-fought battle on Wed-
nesday afternoon the Junior boys
team won a victory over Wills Point
Juniors, the score being 19-8; the
game was played at Canton. The
Leopards defeated Dixie on Thursday
and lost a game to the Edgewood
Bull Dogs on Friday night. The Se-
nior girls team won a game over the
Grand Saline Senior girls last week
on the latter’S court.. Both the Senior
and Junior girls defeated the Arc
Ridge teams Thursday afternoon. On
Saturday night the Canton Junior
girls met defeat at the hands of the
locals 25-5.
Edom high school is hoping to make
an excellent showing at the Tourna-
ment.

WHY ATTEND SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONVENTIONS?
The Sunday school convention of
the Smith County Baptist Associa-
tion will meet with the Mt. Sylvan
church Sunday afternoon, Feb. 1.
Following is am, appeal and discus-
sion which the officers of the con-
vention are making public:
Tyler, Texas, Jan. 24, 1931.
Dear Christian Worker:
What is the greatest privilege a
Christian has?
The saving of a lost soul?
What is the greatest fipld for sav-
ing souls?
The Sunday school.
The aboye brief questions and.an-
swers tell us Why the Sunday school
is such an important part of our
church life, as the Sunday school is
a part of the church, but the church
without a Sunday school is not what
it could be and not what it should be.
Thru the Sunday school convention
of this Association we are endeavor-,
ing in our humble way. to advance
the work of the Sunday schools thru-
out the Association.
Could our state board function as it
is functioning, and do the great work
that it is doing without the coopera-
tion of the churches in the Associa-
tion, and so it is with the Sunday
school convention, we must have the
cooperation of the churches artd Sun-
day schools.
There was a great meeting held at
Winona Sunday afternoon, January
4„ however there were very few Sun-
day schools represented at that meet-
ing, but the weather was very unset-
tled, and our next meeting will be
held at Mt. Sylvan Sunday afternoon
of February 1, and we hope that a
goodly number of Sunday schools will
be represented.

ter I have fed eight head of heifers'™>rk and believe in it strong enough
that I have raised and have furnish
ed some forage for other cows on the
place. I gee now that I made much
better) than I thought, as otherwise I
would have had to buy the feed for
these eight heifers that I am raising
for a foundation herd.”
Twenty-seven farmers started out
last year and possibly finished, but
failed to make report to the county
agent in a com contest with the club
boys and girls. It turns out that the
farmers made nearly as much to the
acre as the club members. The farm-
ers made an average of 24 and a half
bushels to the acre.
These men received a copy of the
same instructions as the elu,b mem-
bers, and it is our information that
these instructions were followed to a
large degree. A list of. the farmers
with their yields and acreage as well
as their opinion of yields of nearby
land is given below:
Walter Harris, 3 acres; 75 bushels,
land nearby 5 bu. per acre.
H. F. King, 3 acres, 126 bushels;
land nearby 12 bu. per acre.
C. A, Burks, 12 acres, 264 bushels,
land nfearby 11 bu. per acre.
L. A. Chapman, 14 acres, 4()9 bush-
els, land nearby 2 1-2 to 10 bu. per
acre.
A. C. Smith, 5 acres, 75 {bushels,
land nearby 5 bushels per acre.
M. L. Gary, 5 acres, 100 bushels,
land nearby 12 bu. per acre.
Hal Gary, 2 acres, 30 bushels, land
nearby 8 bushels per acre.
A total of 44 acres on a total of
1079 bushels with an average of 24
bushels per acre.
It is entirely possible to make 14
million bales of cotton on a fourth
cut acreage by nature’s being kind to
the cotton farmers; but if tne Smith
county farmer has a full corn crib
and then has a full smoke house, cot-
tonfcan sell for eight cents next fall
anq you cannot starve him. Why not

SICK HEADACHES
Many a sick headache is staved off
by eating something simple, such as
a little bran and milk or milk toast.
The person who is subject to frequent
sick-neadaches probably is sensitive
to starch and sugar foods and should
eat more fresh fruits and vegetables,
to correct the acidosis caused by too
much starch fand sugar in the diet.
Scurvy and anemia are causes of sick-
hadache. Cod-liver oil, milk, cream,
nuts, sunshine and sleep in the fresh
'air help overcome this condition. Eye-
strain is another cause of sick-head-
ache. Visit your oculist.
CARBON MONOXIDE
When yew start 'the ot yow»
car, it blows off a stream of carbon
monoxide gas. You cannot see, smell,
nor taBte this, gas and are inclined not
to fear it sufficiently—but it is very
deadly. Do not cldle the doors of
your -garage and leave the mfltor run-
ning. If your car leaks4 a little of the
gas back into it, open the windows
