a. m. of the first Monday after
the expiration of 42 days from
the date of issuance of this Cita-
tion, the iiiTic being' Monday the

or before 10 o’clock, a. m., before
the Honorable District Court of
Fannin County, at the Court
House in Bonham. Texas. Said
pla'ntiff’s petiton was filed on
the 10th day of May, 1943. The
file number of Eaid suit being No.
14586. The names of the parties
in said suit are: R. L. Foreman
as Plaintiff, and Lizzie Barber
Foreman as Defendant. The na-
ture of said suit being substanti-
ally as follows, to wit: A suit for
divorce, plaintiff alleging that he
is an actual bona fide inhabitant
of the State of Texas and has
been for more than twelve
months prior to the filing of the
suit; that he actually resides in
Fannin County, Texas, and has so
continuously resided in said

prior to the filing of the petition;
that the defendant is a non-resi-
dent of the State of Texas and
resides in the State of California.
That plaintiff and defendant were
married November 23, 1941, and
lived together as husband and
wife until about—day of—, 1942,
at which time they separated and
since which time they have not
lived together as husband and
wife. That no children were born
to said marriage and no property
rights are involved in the suit.
That defendant, without fault on
the part of the plaintiff, was
guilty of such a studied course of
cruel treatment the nature of

nation’s total produ:tion if
protein feed meal came from
cottonseed. Actual produc-
tion of prote.’n feed meals
from cotton lat year
amounted to 2,050,000 tens.
T h e significance of this
phase of cotton’s contribu-
tion to the war effort is em-
phasized by the fact that
farmers have been asked to
produce 57 billion quarts of
milk and 11 billion pound:- of
beef in 1943—a task that
will be impossible without
adequate protein feeds.
Breaking down cotton’s
feed production in 1942, last
year’s crop yielded essential
proteins for 6,829,000 dairy
cows producing 14,000,000,-
000 quarts of milk, or essen-
tial proteins for fattening
11,000,000 beef cattle pro-
ducing two billion pounds of
beef. In addition, the crop
yielded a million tons of cot-
tonseed hulls for roughage.
As protein, the 1942 cottcn
crop was equivalent of more
than 200,000,000 bushels of
corn and other grains. As
roughage for fattening beef
cattle, it was the equivalent
of 2,000,000 tons of corn sil-
age of 2,500,000 tons of sor-
ghum silage.
The story of cotton’s im-
portance as fighting equip-
ment begins with linters and
continues through to the
many strategic uses of cot-
ton fiber by the armed forc-
es. Linters, the purest source

Cotton actually is two
crops. Cotton is a fiber crop
supplying America’s armed
forces and its allies with
hou ands of essential tex-
tile products. Cotton is a
food, feed and chemical crop,
supplying oil for America’s
tables, meal and hulls fer
livestock w h i c h produces
America’s meat and milk,
and linters for the war pro-
ducts of chemistry.
No other crop is as versa-
tile as cotton. No other crop
produces in quantity or in
number as many essential
and vital war commodities.
Cotton meets more vital war
needs than any other crop.

Cotton truly is America's
No. 1 War Crop. Supplying
more vital war needs than
any other farm product, it
has been described by the
Army, itself, as second only
to steel as the nation’s major
weapon of war.
Cotton is providing food,
feed and fighting equipment
for soldier and civilian alike.
Moreover, it is the only crop
which provides all three of
these commodities, now de-
manded in increased quanti-
ties by the nation’s war crop
goal for 1943.
As proof of this statement,
each 1,400 pounds of cotton
produce 500 pounds of fiber
for military, lend-leasc, pri-
ority, and essential civilian
needs; 140 pounds of high
grade vegetable oil for food;
400 pounds of protein meal
and cake for livestock; 240
pounds of hulls for livestock
roughage and chemical use;
and 81 pounds of linters. for
smokeless powder, plastics
and numerous other essen-
tial products.
As a primary factor in
feeding the nation, cotton is
America’s largest source of
vegetable oil. Virtually 100
per cent of the 1,442,495,000
pounds of cottonseed oil pro-
duced in 1942 will be con-
sumed in the form of basic
food products. Representing
48 per cent of the nation’s
total production of edible
vegetable oils last year, the
1942 cotton crop provided
enough oil to furnish every
man, woman and child in the
nation 16 pounds of food fat.
Reducing this production
of vegetable oil to other
terms, the 1942 cotton crop
alone produced fat sufficient fabrics
to fill tin? total n-quin menta
’Strategic Material” of war
by the Army since 1940, and
today are rated as “most
critical” by the War Produc-
tion Board.
Largest of all war uses of
cotton linters is smokeless
powder. One bale of linters
will provide smokeless pow-
der for 20,440 rounds of ma-
chine gun ammunition, 2,737
rounds of pom-pom ammuni-
tion, 100,000 rounds of rifle
amunition, or 85 rounds of
heavy tank ammunition.
But far frem being con-
fined to production of smoke-
less powder, cotton linters al-
so are an integral part of
war equipment which varies
from non-breakable glasses
to the pyroxlin coating for
raincoats, and from the glass
like windows and noses of
bombers and fighting planes
to -synthetic yarns and fab-
rics. Also from linters come
cargo and flare chutes, high-
tenacity rayon, X-ray and
Photographic film, and plas-
tic replacements for many
metal parts.
As fiber, cotton’s first use
for the armed forces. Every
fighting mar uses cotton ev-
ery day. With almost a third
less spindles than during the
first World War, cotton is
turning out nearly twice as
much goods, and of this all-
time peak production, more
than 70 per cent of all U. S.
eo-tton fabrics in production
or on order are for priority
goods. With today’s demands
of priority fabrics alone for
exceeding cotton’s highest
peacetime production, the in-
dustry is providing fabrics
for land, scu and air froces;
industrial fabrics for war
plants; fabrics for America’s
It is significant that so
much more thought is being
given to post-war planning
during this war than during
World War I. We Americans
want to avoid, this time, as
much as possible of the
shock of readjustment when
peace comes. Many organi-
zations are doing post-war
planning, or at least talking
about it, and it is well that j
all groups are becoming in- j
terested. It is evident that j
we shall have plenty of plan-
ning. The important question
is what kind of planning and
who is going to do it. Plans
range from the business and
industrial views of big na-
tional groups like the Cham-
ber of Commerce of the Un-
ited States, the National
Manufacturers Association,
and the Committee for Econ-
omic Development to the
fantastic Utopian scheme of
the National Resources Plan-
ning Board, providing for
security for everybody from
the cradle to the grave. The
NRPB plan is a little vague
as to who will pay for it and
what they will use for mon-
ey. Governor Coke Steven-
son, in his usual wise and
progressive manner, will
soon appoint an official plan-
ning commission for Texas,
which may act as coordinat-
ing group for the state.
Selfish groups are trying
to take advantage of the na-
tion’s struggle and hope to
gain some profit in the post-
war shake-up. Public opin-
ion, lashed to bitter emotion
by th e casualty lists, will
condemn such “planning” or
scheming.
The East Texas Chamber
of Commerce is interested in
all practical post-war plan-
ning and is endeavoring to
bring to its people in this
region the best and latest
thought on the subject. We
ale interested in studies of
new products and new ser-
vices to provide jobs for the
millions of men and women
who will be released from
the armed services and war
industry. We are also inter-
ested in moulding public op-
inion to stand the shock of
readjustment and to pre-
serve our form of govern-
ment and private enterprise.
We are confident that we
will win the war. We must
plan to win the peace also.

op sound post-war plans then

Always interested in the
hidden powers that motivate
men, I asked his secret.
“One day,” he replied, “I
had an experience that has
influenced my entire life. In
the office of an executive on
whom I was calling I saw a
framed motto which read,
‘They told him it couldn’t be
done, but the poor fool didn’t
believe them and went ahead
and did it.’ That statement
challenged me. It made me
resolve to build up a reputa-
tion for doing things that
other men call ‘impossible.’
The chief quality necessary
to conquer difficulties and
come out triumphant is, in
my opinion, unlimited enthu-
siasm. Enthusiasm is a fire
cf the spirit that burns down
obstacles.”

year. This leaves $50,000,-
000,000 to be raised by bor-
rowing in the next eight
months beginning in May,
unless congress acts to in-
crease present taxes.
The treasury has divided
the balance of the year into
two periods of four months
each ending in August and
December, with tentative
borrowing goals of $25,000,-
000,000 for each period.
Morgenthau explained that
the government expects to
spend about $100,000,000,000
this year, and that only $30,-

they’re adapting domestic

Because a woman war
worker remembered how her
mother used to keep hot
doughnuts from sticking to-

thousands of man-hours in
the manufacture of rubber

The rings were piled into
boxes when they were hot
and many stuck together.
These had to be scrapped,

An old Scot was smoking
in the waiting room of a
railway station when a por-

see that notice on the wall,
‘No Smoking Allowed’?”
“Yes, I do,” said the Scot.
“But how can I keep all your
