Danzig, Oct 24.—War be-
tween the United States and
Germany is "impossible,” Ger-
man Foreign Minister Joachim
von Ribbentrop said tonight in
a speech marking the ninth
anniversary of the Nazi party
in the now-conquered city of
Danzig. «
Ribbentrop's statement that
in the long run, the American
and German people “can only
profit from friendship" was re-
garded by informed observers
ae an attempt to mollify Amer-
ican opinion on the eve of the
senate’s vote on the U. S.
neutrality bill.
In one of his rare public
speeches, Ribbentrop asserted
that Europe’s war had been
“secretly planned by England
for year” in an effort to de-
stroy the German nation and
that France was forced Into
the war against her will by
British pressure.
“This war was forced upon
Germany in the truest sense of
the word,” Ribbentrop said.
“Germany will fight until all
possibility of attack upon her
is excluded.”
The foreign minister said
that he had proposed “repeat-
edly” to Britain. and Anglo-
Gfermxn defense alliance under
which Germany wonld place
her army and navy at the dis-
posal of the British for de-
fense of their empire—without
asking for armed assistance
from Britain. . ...
Turning to the new Nazi-
Soviet working agreement and
the joint partitioning of Po-
land, Ribbentrop said that
Russia and Germany had
“guaranteed peace in Eastern
Europe for all times.”

dicated ■ that Russia had
“amended’’ her demands to
involve regions of the Finnish
Carelian peninsula near the

PLANS MADE FOR DAIRY
DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
At the close of the meeting
held in the Center High School
building Monday night, a com-
prehensive dairy development
program been outlined. Speak-
ers making a report of the
dairy tour which was made
into the dairy section of north-
east Texas where B. R. Ken-
nedy, county supervisor for
the Farm Credit Administra-
tion, County Agent J. O. Moos-
berg, S. W. Pridgeon of Joa-
quin, and Ray Permenter of
Timpson. Mr. Kennedy re-
viewed the fact that It would
very likely ,be early spring be-
fore milk routes could be es-
tablished if every person inter-
ested gave every assistance
possible to a creation of inter-
est. Clients of the Farm Cred-
it Administration will be in po-
sition to begin the delivery of
milk from 500 or more cows
by April, 1st, and it will be
possible for other farmers of
the county who may wish to
make additional purchases of
cows to secure j finances
through local banks and other
lending agencies of the county.
With realization that local
interests must make it appar-
ent that fanners of the county
are ir a cow-milking frame of
mind committees were appoint-
ed Monday night from the dif-
fered trade areas to make a
definite census of the milk
cow that are now available in
the lifferent communities, and
of the likely number that will
be milked in the case that milk
routes are established. . The
Kraft-Phenix Corporation is
the largest processer of cheese
ar.d milk < products in the
world. They have plenty of
finance to operate in any ter-
ritory that their area develop-
ment manager may see fit to
locate , a plant. However, It
would be a fool-hardy act for
his corporation to locate a
$15,000 plant in Shelby coun-
ty or any other territory with-
out assurance from local coun-
ty interests that milk would be
produced.
The personnel of the devel-
opment committees as appoint-
ed Monday night are as fol-
lows:
Timpson area—W. F. Car-
ry, chairman; N. Kyle, tBen
Childs, Arthur Thornton and
Rex Brinson.
Tenaha area—Mrs. A. B.
McCreary, chairman; C. C.
Childs, Jim Owens, G. N. Bag-
well, Pat Bussey.
Joaquin area—N. P. Ellis,
chairman; W. I. Nutt, Riley
Irish, L. B. Latimer.
Shelbyville area — I. H.
Powell, chairman; Ed Brad-
berry, M. M. .Sample, Don
Green.
Center area—W. B. Worth-
am, chairman;. Fred Jarry,
Duke Parker, J. L. Johnson,
Duke Samford.
The first meeting of this
committee will be held in Cen-
ter on Monday afternoon, Oct
SO, at 2 o’clock, in the District
court room. All interested
farmers of the county are
vited to attend this meeting in
order that there may be a rep-
resentation from every school
district In the county.

A Poor Definition
This is said to be a definition
of Love: “Love is something
that will make a girl leave
home just to be sear an animal
that chews tobacco and eats
onions.”
Oar guess is that there is
more to this “animal” than
that. He often works to pro-
vide three square meals a day
for the family, an education
for the youngsters and provide
them with a read homp. And
if he is industrious and saving,
he may have an account at the
Bank. We invite sack ac-
counts.
