final session held Monday afternoon
In the Legion Hall.

wood as tltlist of the group.

splendid hospitality and arrange-
ments during the three-day tourna-
ment and all Cqtejrjan cltlzeas, were

man director, assisted in staging the

Fotball squads throughout Dis-
trict 9-A went to work In earnest
this week In preparation for what
Is expected to be the most evenly
matched competition In a decade
Of course, Ballinger, with a fine
squad returning and fortified with
Its long string of almost perpetual
championships, is naturally riding
in the favorite’s seat. But the throne
this year isn’t secure as in past
years ... at least that’s the opinion
of at least three conference clubs
who admittedly are gunning for the
title.
The ^inters Blizzards, always a
troublesome outfit, are Improved
and endowed with plenty of fight
and ambition. Then there is the
Bulldogs from Brady, who are em-
erging from the gridiron depths
and actually are Issuing warning
growls to other district members.
The latter club has 10 lettermen
and a wealth of squadmen and new
material and Coach Russ Holland
is rather outspoken In assuring the
Brady fans that once again Bull-
dog foes will feel the bites of the
canines.
Lake View and Santa Arina, each
are better fortified this season than
last and confidently expect to up-
set the favorites somewhere along
the line.
Coaches Robert Russ and Foster
Miller of Coleman are admittedly
looking for big things from their
Bluecats this season. Some 50 hus-
kies donned the Blue and White
moleskin Monday 'afternoon and
proved to bfe pretty fair mudders in
the opening workout. In fact the
local mentors gave out with the
assertion that the youngsters look-
ed better on the first day than they
did at mid-season last year. There’s
plenty of hustle and fight among
the lettermen, squadmen and new-
comers on the Bluecat squad as they
battle for berths on the “A” squad.
Ballinger gets an early heat-but-
ting assignment Saturday morning
when they trek to Brownwood for
a scrimmage against the Brown-
wood Lions.
Schedules of some of the district
schools are found below:

Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Thomson are
leaving this week for Miami Florida,
where the National Postmasters As-
sociation will hold a convention
beginning Sept, llth through the
14th. They will go by auto to New
Orleans, where the postmasters from |
all over the west and North will
meet to- be entertained, from there
they will either go by auto or train
on to Miami.
Mr. Thomson is rather curious
and anxious to see Miami again, j
since he w'as in training there dur-
ing the Spanish American War In
1898. Miami, at that time was just
a village of a few hundred people,
but since then it has become a city
of,many, many thousands of people.
He was offered lots at that time on ;
Flangler St. for one hundred dollars
(and he happened to have the hun- 1
dred bucks) but he was not interest-
ed in Miami at that time as he was
too anxious to return to good old
Coleman Co. where it was cool, and
where in a year or two later he
bought a lot in Coleman, built a
home on it and has been water
bound ever since. In a few years
inheldrmeethhrfodeoavec
lots on Flagler Street sold for as
much as one million dollars he says
his foresight were no good. His
salary was $15.60 per month.
The Spanish American War was
the only war ever fought by this
country which was made up entirely
of volunteers, he served in Co. A
of the Second Texas Inft. in which
United States Senator Tom Con-
nally was an officer. Many Coleman
County boys volunteered at tha
time, but as far as he knows, he
the only one surviving, the o^hei
having passed on. If there are'
more in the county, he would very
much like to see them or hear from
them.
During the convention sight see-
ing trips will be run to Key West,
Nassau and Havana, Cuba, some of
which they expect to take. They
expect to return about Sept. 20th.

Parent-Teachers To
Hold Instruction
School Sept. 24
A School of Instruction for Par-
ent-Teacher Workers will be held
in Coleman, Tuesday, Sept. 24, at
American Legion Hall. Mrs. James
Leonard, president of First District
will be the instructor.
An invitation is extended to all
workers in this field, whether mem-
bers of the Texas Congress or not.
There are no fees.
Considerable interest has been
aroused among cotton fanners
in Texas over possibilities of so-
called “bug catching” or “insect !
exterminating" machines design-
ed to collect injurious insects on \
certain crops, especially cotton, .■
and thereby produce an increase i
in yield of the crop.
These machines, attached to a <
tractor, force a strong blast of ;
air through the cotton plants, j j
The purpose of the air blast is j j
to dislodge insects on the plants <
and to collect them in bags at
the ends of large ducts.
One of the machines was given
a thorough test in Brazos bot-
tom cotton in 1945 by the Divi-
sion of Entomology of the Tex-
as Agricultural Experiment Sta-
tion. Where it was operated six
times during the season there
was an average yield of 68 lbs
over adjacent untreated cotton,
which produced 608 pounds of :
seed cotton per acre. In the
same experiment, however, ano-
ther block of cotton dusted seven
times with insecticides for com-
parison, produce 1,388 pounds oi
seed cotton per acre. This was
more than double the yield pro-
duced where the “bug catching"
machine was used.
One-third of the insects col- SI
lected by the machines were in- i j
jurious; a little more than one-
third were beneficial. Of the in-
jurious insects collected, flea \ >
.oppers were in largest numbers )|
and boll weevils were in lowest \ \
number, although weevils were
causing more damage to the cot-
ton than any of the other pests.
The test with the “bug catch- :
ing” machine showed that where i
cottc/i is in danger of boll wee- ■
vil damage it is far more profit- I
able to follow a well-planned
dusting program than to depend \
upon the type of machine stu- 1
died.
The old adage—stren gt h in
numbers—must have been working
Sunday. At any rate the Coleman
Country Club golfers ganged the
visiting Philpeco club to win 10
matches to seven, thereby atoning
for the 11-10 defeat absorbed on the
visitors course three weeks ago.
The Philpeco Club brought only
nine players along Sunday, thus
making some of the Visitors double
and take on two or more Coleman
shooters.
Results of the pliy with the Phil-
peco player named first follows:
Robert Gibson lost to Dixon
White 7-6; to Bob Gideon 2 up and
was all square with Jake LeMay.
Strawn lost to W. Gordon 1 up
and beat Ollie Gideon 2-1 and Glen
Forman 1 up on 1 9holes.
Doc Sellers beat Dalton 1 up
21 holes. f
H. P. White beat Ed Gee 1
and lost to Jimmy Marshall.
W. R. Gibson lost to M. Gil
5-4.
Jack McCarthy lost to E. Brid|
well, Gilford Scott and C, Shephe
Kenneth White beat Wlllil
Campbell, R. R. Shipman and

B. Gibson lost to Dillard Be#

Gene Gibson lost of
Thompson 1 up 1 9holes.
