been proposed, would kill
lit anti-trust laws and the
and moneyed price-fixing
would most certainly run
and to the great detri-

Texas lawmaking bodies it
thought probably that the

sion from them.

With the passing of the “Lend-
Lease Bill” by Congress and its be-
coming a law by reason of the signa-
ture of President Roosevelt, that
great law-making body possibly will
now relax for a few days at least. It
a long drawn-out affair and even
the people of this and other nations
will feel relieved as the result of its
passing. Germany and Hitler may not
feel so happy over it, but it was not
passed with the view of increasing
their happiness.
Wyatt McFadden, one of the old-
timers of. Bosque County, who has
been making his home in Port Arthur
for a number of years, sends in his
check to have his Record dates mov-
ed up another year in advance. His
many friends here are pleased to
learn that he has about completely
recovered from an automobile acci-
dent some months ago which laid him
up for a number of weeks with bad
bruises and possibly a broken leg. His
friends will again be looking for him
here next July for a visit and to take

the 4th, and want his legs to be good
enough to permit his doing the wing
and square dances as usual.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sormrude and
son, Gerald, are now enjoying their
new and modem home out on their
very attractive stock farm west of
town a few miles. All their furniture
for the home had not arrived early
this week, but friends driving out last
Sunday were warmly greeted and
shown through this beautiful modern
home with every known convenience.
Visitors also were shown the fine
$ :sheep, cattle, goats and many hogs,
some of the latter registered. The
new lake not far from the house will
not only furnish an abundance of
stock water, but will be ideal for pri-
vate fishing purposes as it is now
to be stocked with many kinds of fish.
What puzzles friends is how Frank
can remain in his store all during
the week days with so many attrac-
ms just across the mountain west
The many friends of the
family are happy that they

Application ' for cotton stamps,
which is an added and new feature of
the 1941 AAA Farm Program, are
being taken in the fifteen communi-
ties of Bosque County this week, W
C. Main, chairman of the county com-
mittee, announced Wednesday morn-
The cotton stamp plan, which is
also called the Supplementary Cotton
Program, is the plan whereby cotton
farmers may obtain up to $25 in
stamps for the purchase of cotton
goods. The $25 maximum applies to
the operator on one cotton farm, how-
ever, $50 may be earned in the case
of the operatoif of a farm operated by
two or more tenants, or share crop-
pers. In no case, however, can one
person receive more than $50, regard-
less of the number of cotton farms
he has.
“This stamp plan for this year,”
Mr. Main explained, “was brought
about by world conditions at the pres-
ent time. Cotton, more than any other
American crop, is dependent upon
foreign buyers for its markets and
since the War has closed many fore-
ign markets, it is necessary to de-
crease our cotton as much as pos-
sible.”
Approximately 25 million dollars
worth of cotton stamps will be made
available for distribution to AAA
farmers who cooperate in the pro-
gram.”
“The Program”, Mr. Main con-
tinued, “is relatively simple and each
cotton farmer who is interested in
applying for stamps should go to his
community committeeman and sign
up with him his intentions to parti-
cipate. The intention sheet must be
signed before June 15, 1941, and final
computations regarding acres reduc-
ed will be made after cotton acres
are measured.”
The payment for stamps will be
computed at the rate of 10 cents per
pound of the 1941 normal yield es-
tablished for the farm times the
acreage of cotton voluntarily reduc-
ed. The acreage reduced will be the
amount by which the 1941 planted
acreage of cotton is below the small-
er of the 1941 allotment or the 1940
measured cotton acreage.
In order to show how the plan
works, assume the following: A far-
mer has a 1941 cotton allotment of
10 acres and in 1940 he measured 9
acres. To be able to qualify for
stamps he would reduce from 9 acres
since this acreage is the smaller of
the 1941 cotton allotment and the
1940 measured acres.
If a cotton farm has an allotment
of 10 acres for 1941 and 5 acres were
planted in 1940, to be able to qualify
for stamps the cotton farmer would
be required to reduce from 5 acres.
The stamps are divided between in-
terested persons as the crops are di-
vided. If cotton is worked 'on halves,
the stamps will be divided half and
half; and if cotton is worked on the
fourths, the stamps will be divided
in this manner. From this it will be
noted that in many instances n
cotton will be reduced than stamps
will be issued for.
Community committeemen are also
executing farm plan sheets with the
operators and planning with them as
to how the maximum farm payments
might be earned in 1941. This plan
worked effectively in the entire coun-
ty last year and larger payments
were earned.
Mr. Main urges each farm opera-
tor to meet with his local committee-
man when he is asked to in order
that the farm plan sheet might be
worked out and the application for
cotton stamps might be made. The
cotton stamp plan will not affect
AAA payments in any manner and is
entirely voluntary.

■ So far this week this section has
been fortunate enough to get by with-
out rain. The freezing point was
reached Wednesday night for one of
the few times this winter.
Miss Christine Christenson, a Clif-
ton grown girl and daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Ole Christenson living a
short distance east of town, who has
been practicing her profession as a
graduate nurse in the Alexander
Sanitarium at Spur for more than a
year, and until it recenly closed to-
take Dr. Alexander into the Army
service, has returned home and is
with the Goodall-Witcher Hospital-
Clinic in this city, taking the place
made vacant when Mrs. Burch, who
had been with the institution since
it started business, resigned because
of moving away. Miss Christenson is
a charming young woman and it may
be that the hospital will get patients
just because they want a pretty nurse
to take care of them.

after a short visit with relatives and

«
Frank Spangle Jr. came down from
Dallas Monday for a couple of days
visit with home folks before leaving
with a group of young drafted men
from Dallas for army training camp
to take training for the allotted 12
months. Frank seemed to think he
would like that amount of time and
training, and his many friends hope
he will find it beneficial and helpful
to him throughout life. After being
inducted into the service, Frank was
rejected when taking his final ex-
amination because of weighing too
much for his height, and returned
home immediately.
