THE CLIFTON RECORD, CLIFTON, TEXAS, AUGUST 26, 1938
NUMBER 27.

co, Texas.—In view of the prob-
of Government loans being
able on Cotton, Congress-
Job Poage has wired Secretary
culture, Henry Wallace, vigor-
protesting against any plan to
ake cotton loaHs apply exclusively
cotton storej^$»t ports, according
“ ige’s office in Waco.
points out in his wire
the inconvenience and delay
which farmers will be put unless
loans are made available at in
land points where cotton is produced,
- The Congressman points out fur-
ther that if it is required that cot'
ton be shipped to port in order to st
cure loans as is now being done in the
case of Government loans on wheat
then not only will cotton producers be
subjected to delay and inconvenience,
but merchants and others directly do-
ing business with fanners will be ad-
versely affected. Poage also urged in
his wire to Wallace that the same
amount of loan be made on inland
cotton as will be made upon cotton
that will be stored at port, thus main-
taining inland storages and ware-
houses upon a favorable basis with all
other sections.

Gerald Mann’s Claim
Challenged by Speaker
sk $;•1
...
A challenge of the claim of Gc
Mann, Walter Woodul’s Opponent for
attorney general, that he wrote the
Texas securties act, was made Wed-
nesday night by Fred Parks, attorney,
at a Sadler rally at Rigby’s Stand on
Quitman.
Parks charged that not only did
' Gerald Mann not write the securities
act, but admitted over his own sig
nature, under date of March 4, 1935,
that the act was a result of a great
deal of research by John Martin, a
former blue sky commissioner.
. Mr. Parks declared that another
iJclaim made by Mann, or for Mann,
in a publication called “Mann’s Mes-
senger,” is that Mann served for sev-
eral years as an assistant attorney
general. “The facts are,” Mr. Parks
said, “that he held such a position
for 30 days.” He said, “Mann’s Mes-
1 senger” was distributed by the hun-
dreds of thousands.
Declaring that Mann never has
tried a case in the appellate courts,
Mr. Parks said that “the proof of
Mann’s inexperience is proof that
Mann is not the man for the job of at-
torney general of Texas.” He said
Walter Woodul is by all odds the bet-
ter >qualified man from the standpoint
of legal preparation, practice in the
higher courts and knowledge of gov-
ernment matters.—Houston Chron-
icle.

the practice of law
Wednesday afternoon, Aug. .17, the
Meridian Creke dam on the Parks
Ranch, was a scene of much merri-
ment when a group of young people
gathered at about 4:00 o’clock to en-
joy a swimming party.
The afternoon passed quickly with
some of the “beginners” trying to
learn to swim, and others doing some
‘fancy” stunt diving (at. least they
thought it was fancy). About sun-
down the call for supper was given
and all gathered around the table
spread with a picnic lunch including
plenty of fried chicken and all the
trimmings.
After the supper, some of the group
donned their swim suits to take an-
other cooling dip into the water be-
fore departing for home.
Those present to enjoy the evening
were: Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Langseth
and family, Mr. and Mrs. Henry John-
son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Lee
Erickson, Mrs. Barney Swenson,
Misses Tilda Carlson, Castelle Ander-

son, Rose Marie Hoven and Elna

ter May, Harvey Kelly, Pemell Lar-
son, Walter Cummins, Sherman An-
derson, Chester Hoven.
At a late hour we bade each other
farewell and departed, hoping to have
another enjoyable picnic soon.

farmers of the Cayote community,
last Saturday, August 20, brought in
the first bale of 1938 cotton to be
ginned and sold in Clifton; although
several other bales have been ginned

additional premium of $23.60 was con-
tributed by the merchants and busi-

H. D. Agent Visits
In Club Girls’ Homes
Throughout the month of August-
vacation month as listed in the E>
tension Clubs’ program—the home
demonstration agent has been making
home visits to individual 4-H Club
girls to check on their achievements
.for the current year’s work and to
make plans with them for 1939. Thir-
ty-eight girls were thus contacted;
others that were on schedule to be
visited were away on yacation, work-
ing or otherwise engaged.
Because of the great need of fruit
in the diet to keep the body healthy,
an effort is being made to get each
club girl to grow some fruit at home.
Starting with berry and grape vines
this year we expect to go into the
tree fruits for the next step.
Where there is little or no money
to spend, the girls are shown that by
taking a little more time, the.') may
grow their fruit from seed and cut-
tings. Peach seed kept moist after the
fruit is removed by putting them in a
box and throwing six inches of soil
On them and pouring water on the soil
occasionally, and if planted before
November first, will come up and
grow large enough to be budded with
a known variety by early summer.
This makes it possible to select vari-
eties ripening at different times, giv-
ing a continuous supply of fresh fruit
from May to September., It also gives
the girls opportunity to learn how to
care for the fruit plants, to do the
budding and grafting themselves and
to know that the raising of fruit for
family use is not limitied to the home
owner with plenty of money.
Of the girls visited, 18 had com-
pleted the co-operator goals 100 per
cent makes them eligible for the one-
day "trip to some place of interest that
was promised them at the beginning
of the year. Thia list includes girls
from Kopperlr Eulogy, Gamersville,
Womack, Pleasant Grove.

1st. Bn. Hdqs. Co. 143rd Infantry,
local National Guard Unit, returned
from Camp Bullis, Texas, Saturday
afternoon, August 20, following a
two-weeks’ training period as a part
of the Third Army maneuvers.
In the process of arranging the de-
tails prior to the maneuver, it was
contemplated, at first, to assemble the
entire Third Army of the United
States at one station for the period
of the maneuver. This plan was aban-
doned, however, due to Congressional
limitations of the current appropria-
tion. The final plan1 was a series of
maneuvers throughout the southern
part of the United States. Camp Bul-
lis was one of the sites selected and
was the largest, insofar as military
personnel is concerned. It was esti-
mated that 26,000 soldiers were pres-
ent for the maneuver.
1st. Bn. Hdqs. Co. 143rd Infantry
entrained for Camp Bullis Saturday
morning at 3 a. m. and arrived in
camp at 1:25 p. m. the same day.
Sunday was spent in the preparation
of camp. Monday saw activities be-
ginning which would better fit the
men for the coming maneuver.
Marches, drills, communication prob-
lems, etc., were the current topics.
Saturday morning, August 13, the
1st. Bn. 243rd Infantry, Major Rain-
bolt commanding, entrucked for the
bivouac area 2 miles northeast of
Boerne. The night was spent here and
actual orders for the movement of
troops into the front line began Sun-
day morning at 9:30. At this time 1st
Bn. 143rd Infantry was placed under
Division control and constituted the
advance guard of the Division. At
12:30 p. m. on Sunday, positions on
the front line were talqjn up.
Certainly one had to be actually
present in order to realize just how
real the war really was. Airplanes,
