the Cubs during their pre-season

fairly evenly matched, and the
scrimmage gave the newcomers

A son of the late William Kettler
and Mrs. Henrietta Stark Kettler,
Edward Henry Otto Kettler was
born in Coryell County, near Mo-
sheim, on April 15, 1907. He was
one of nine children.
When Mr. Kettler was a small
child, he moved with his family to
the Garnersville community, north-
east of Clifton. The family con
"tinned to reside there for a number
of years and was living in that com-
munity at- the time Mr. Kettler’s
father died, when the former was
16 years of age.
Mr. Kettler was baptized in in
fancy into the Lutheran faith in
Coryell County and later was con
firmed in boyhood in that denomi-
nation at the Immanuel Lutheran
Church in Clifton. For many years
both Mr. and Mrs. Kettler were
members of the Immanuel Church,
but during the years that they re-
sided in the Womack community
they were affiliated with the Zion
United Church of Christ there.
On February 26, 1928, Mr. Ket-
tler married Miss Grace Schmidt,

Lone Star Farmer
Speaks To Lions
Members of the Clifton Lions
Club were privileged to hear the
lone Star Farmer of Texas, Robert
Tant of Cranfills Gap, speak at the
regular noon luncheon Tuesday,
August 23.
Hans Kalscheuer, manager of the
Texas Milling Company, introduced
young Tant and Hubert Viertel, al-
so of Cranfills Gap, who accompan-
ied the Lone Star Farmer to the
meeting. Mr. Kalscheuer pointed
out that Robert also had other
achievements to his record, such
as first place in the state in FFA
Wildlife Conservation, first place
in the county in FFA tractor opera-
tion and second place in the dis-
trict, and a high scholastic average,
he now having started his studies
toward a zoology major at The Uni-
versity of Texas.
Lone Star Farmer Tant had been
asked to tell of his accomplish-
ments leading to being named State
lone Star Farmer; being modest,
he only touched on his achieve-
ments as a Future Farmer but did
say that he started on his father’s
farm as a freshman with ten head
of registered goats, 30-odd head of
sheep, and a few cattle.
When his father died two years -
later. Robert continued to operate
the 572 acre farm while completing
his high school education and, in
addition to cultivating some 100
acres of land, ran about 100 goats,
150 sheep, and 25 head of cattle
on the place.
Young Tant expressed his faith
in the future of farming for Ameri-
ca's youth and called upon the
Lions Club to do all it can toward
recognizing the accomplishments of
the young folks on the farm.
Robert felt that too small a per
cent of young folks is staying with
the farm, that some way must be
found to retain the more capable
youth there. As the population
jumps, and as the average age of
the farmer becomes older, there
will he ia place for more topnotch
youth on the farm.
