MORE RAIN HERE
This section has been the recipi-
ent of more showers this week,
and it can be safely said that
all of this part of Texas is thor-
oughly soaked.
There was never a better crop
prospect than at this time for lots
of cotton to be made, and much
late feed will be made as a re-
sult of the frequent rain visita-

GAVE PARTY
Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Thompson
gave a community party at their
home at University this week
which proved to be a very enjoy-
able affair. The time was spent
in social converse, coupled with
various forms of parlor amuse-
ment.
Refreshment of lemonade and
cake was served.
Mr. Tallmadge of Dallas, a rep-
resentative of the Farm Bureau
movement in Texas, gave an in-
teresting talk bn the progress and
virtues of the Texas Farm Bu-
reau, encouraging his hearers to
follow the orderly marketing of
their cotton through this common
sense and businesslike channel.

on the farmers to get them from

In addition to this it would

The Chamber of Commerce is
eoing to ask these people to place

They do not want to be antag-

that the Q. A. & P. officials can
be shown that such a service is
