Ike Can't Make It Rain/
But He's Still Best Man
who keeps op with which wsy the
wind is blowing, generally •peek-
ing, it’s Stevenson, KefMver and
Johnson."
Then he went on to ray that he
realised the national farm pro-
gram hadn’t pleaaed everybody—
Including him. If he waa in the
WhiteHc
The other day I asked • tamer
If it was dry oot his way. He mid
It sate was. "Looks like we Just
—n’t got any rain, he said.
“Why, when Noah had his 40-day
lood, we didn’t get over half an
lack"
There's no mistake about it,
TexaS is having itself a real
drouth. Some of the farmers and
ranchers in oar county are in such
bad shape that they may vote for
Stevenson.
Old Man Jones, from across the
river, raid he wasn’t going to go
to any such extreme. He said he
needed rain as bad as anybody
else. He claimed water was so
scarce in his community that the
preacher was baptising new mem-
bers with a wet handkerchief. But
he was holding out awhile longer,
anyway.
“I may be stubborn," said Old
Man Jones, “but I just ain’t been
convinced that President Eisen-
hower is keeping it from rain-
ing."
He said he knew that Stevenson
and Kefauver acted like they
thought so, and they had a right
to their opinion. Lyndon Johnson,
he figured, knew better, but he
was sticking with Adlai and Estes
for the sake of unity. He said
he didn’t figure Mr. Sam Ray-
burn had known whether it was
raining or not for the last 25
years.
"I hate not to go along with
such a widely known crowd of
weather observers,” Old Man
Jones said. “If there’s anybody
spent by the Eisenhower adminis-
tration for drought relief in Texas
could have been doubled and still
not made all the farmers happy
and prosperous.
“But," raid Old Mu Jones, “1
keep remembering that the main
reason for our troubles, betides
the drouth, is the fact that we are
not at war. Now, if Adlai and
Estes really want to jump on
President Eisenhower, there is a
real issue. They’ve sure got the
goods on Ike in that respect. If
fie hadn’t stopped that Korea*
War, farm prices weald be higher,
no doubt I wonder why they
never mention that"
Old Mu Jones was kidding a
little, of course, in his usual way,
but I think he had something
there. We have got to adjust to
peace-time, which is taking awhile
but President Eisenhower is
working at it And meanwhile our
boys aren’t fighting and dying on
foreign soil. It’s worth thinking
about
^ truly.

Clean or wash summer clothes
before storing. Right storage will
increase the life of summer cloth-
ing. Here are a few suggestions:
Mend and repair ripped seams,
tears, loose buttons or other dam-
ages.
Wash or dry clean all garments.
Store cottons and linens un-
ironed. Be sure all starch is re-
moved — it causes fabric to de-
teriorate and attract silverfish.
Dry garments and store in a
dry place.
Store in boxes to make more
room in closets.
If your shower and bathroom
tile has a grimy look — that grey
look may come from soap scum.
