Federated Club in Tea
“Federation Day” Tapi
The Zend A vesta Club held
ita regular meeting Thursday
afternoon, October 18th, in the
home of Mrs. E. W. Crawford,
the topic for the program be-
ing “Federation Day.” The
president, Mrs. II. A. Bareo,
prodded. Roil call was re-
sponded -to by quotations from
the magazine, “Federated
News.”
The president opened the
business section of the pro-
gram by having the constitu-
tion and by-laws of the local
organization read. Other items
of interest during the business
session were the election of
Mis. Richard Morrison as a
new member to take the place
made vacant by the passing of
Mrs. R. T. Blair, and the club’s
pledge to cooperate with the
American Legion in the build-
ing of an American Legion
Hall to be erected in the park
as a memorial to all the serv-
ice men in the Tiropson pre-
cinct who lost their lives in
World War H.
The cultural part of the pro-
gram was under the leadership
,of Mesdames J. M. Burns and
A. B. Moses. Mrs. Burns gave
a short history of the organiza-
tion and subsequent work of
the Zend A vesta Club. This
club was organized in 1903.
with a membership of twenty,
which number was increased
last year to twenty-six mem-
bers. There are today four of
the original charter members
still active, these being Mes-
dames J. M. Burns, J. O. Me-
Dowell, A. F. Bryan and G. L.
Milledvp. The name of the
club—Zend Avesta—is of Per-
sian origin, meaning "Our Sub-
ject and Its Discussion.” The
club motto is: “We Search for
K no wledge.”
In 1906 the club became fed-
erated with the Texas Federa-
tion of Women’s Clubs, and is
credited in a recent issue of
the Federation’s organ as be-
ing the second oldest federat-
ed club in Texas. Since its or-
ganization, the club has had
an enviable record of achieve-
ment, cooperating with every
worthy civic and humanitarian
undertaking in the city, in ad-
dition to carrying interesting
and instructive cultural pro-
grams. The speaker made the
statement that not enough im-
portance was attached to the
keeping of a perfect record of
the ciub’s activities and
achievements, merely as a
matter of pure history.
Mrs. Moses’ subject dealt
with the importance of wom-
en’s efforts in planning and
promoting World Peace, and
the part club women of the
United States are playing in
this great movement. The rec-
ognition of women as a vital
force in peace and postwar
planning was evidenced by the
fact that there were a number
of women delegates to the
United Nations Conference at
San Francisco, and the further
fact that one woman was al-
lowed to sit in on all the com-
mittee sessions of the Big Five.
There was even one day of the
conference designated as
“Women’s Day.” .
Meeting adjourned to meet
Thursday, November 15th with
Mrs. J. W. Kristensen, hostes*
and leader. Reporter.
Mrs. 77r. Nichols left Fri-
day for a visit with relatives in
her old home city, Lampasas.
Texas. From there she will go
to Munday. Texas, for a visit
with her sister. Mrs. W. F.
Hart, and other relatives.
BILL’S DUTY ON
EARTH IS DONE
One bright sunny day in July,
I received that telegram, that
made its reply;
It stated that my darting bad
suffered and died.
Out future we planned, so
much was denied,
I can’t understand “why be
went,”
To heaven from this earth,
God’s message waa sent.
He was so kind, ao good and
rare.
Now with Jesus, His kmdnese
be will share.
He was a jewel here ho earth
And has been since his birth.
Oh, how I loved his precious
heart and soul.
Now he haa gone “where we
will never grow old.”
He was a boy that was loved
by all;
He was ready I know, when
oqr Master called.
He was honest and did his best
to treat everyone right
Row horrible to think, he was
shot that night.
Yes. he had honor and plenty
pride,
AH the wrong things he laid
aside. ^
He loved me I know, as a faith-
ful wife,
How happy we were during
onr married life;
We stuck together through
thick and thin.
We always stopped a quarrel
when it begin.
His body all bleeding lay there
in the dust.
With our Savior, we did put all
cur trust.
That some day he would come
sailing in.
But God saw best for his life
to end.
Bill’s duty on earth is o’er.
He has gone to that happy,
peaceful shore,
Somewhere over there his body
lies
Underneath the Japanese
dusty skies.
Yes, he is over there, peaceful-
ly sleeping
While I am over here my heart
and soul weeping;
When my life here is done,
I will meet my darling one;
He died unmerciful fighting in
vain.
Some day we will be together
where there is no pain.
Written by his wife, A.W.H.

THE RIGHT TRACTOR
FOR THE PARTICULAR JOB
rpnt proverbial Jack-of-a21-tiade* wxs
X- master of none. The modern world of
science and technology passed him by.
The same principle applies to farm
tractors. The tractor that docs a wide variety
of jobs uosarisfacsorily can't possibly pro-
duce the greatest results at die least cost
in any job.
Bat that’s what the farmer—particularly
the small operator—hs» got to do to meet
postwar competition: he’s got to produce
tie mo* food possible with the ha* effort
end, cmtscqeqstlj, <f t tbt lotos* cost.
The burner with 10 acres in truck crops
needs one kind of tractor. The farmer
with 100 acres in wheal alone needs an-
other kind—or, as is usually the case, two
or more different tractors. The trac-
tor which docs a good job on the
Great Plains may be useless in the
A
rice territory. And so h goes.
Conditions of climate, the lay of the land,
and the character of soils in the different
parts of this vast country, together with
wide variations in the nature of crops and
the size of operations, combine to pro-
duce wide differences in the requirements
for tractors. Harvester’s policy is to meet
oil these requirements.
That it why Harvester’s postwar fine in-
cludes a great variety of FannaUs and other
Specialized tractors and attachments rather
than a single tractor with a single system
of tools. Every tractor in the line was de-
veloped after scientific research and testing
under actual operating conditions showed
the specifications needed for efficiency
and economy.
Every Henmter-haiit tractor is the
right machine for its pertscaUr job.
