ing a hog for slaughter may pur-
chase one or more. The boys
will appreciate your attendance.

He likes to smoke a pipe,
She likes to smoke cigarettes,
And just a few years ago
This was no problem to newly-
weds.
* * *
In these days when a man and
his wife both smoke, they should
also smoke the Pipe of Peace to-
gether.
* * * *
Since women smoke, too, I
wonder if they have cigarette
dreams as men have pipe
dreams.

BROWN MURDER CASE
CALLED FOR NOV. 8
The murder case of Eddie
Brown, 48, mechanic and veter-
an of World War I, charged with
the pistol slaying of his wife on
August 30, will be called for trial
in Boerne Nov. 8 by Judge K. K.
Woodley of Sabinal.
Attorneys for Brown include
Egbert Schweppe, Connie
Schweppe and Guy Allison, all of
San Antonio.
Brown has been returned to
the Boerne jail. He was taken
to San Antonio briefly after his
capture here following an all
night search by a posse after his
wife was found on the Camp Al-
zafar road. Mrs. Brown had
been shot with a pistol. The
bullet severed her jugular vein.
She died in the Santa Rosa hos-
pital.
Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Leidl are
the proud parents of a baby girl,
born Sept. 21. The little girl
weighed 8 pounds.
RADIO STATION STARTED
The new radio station to be lo-
cated in Boerne is now under
construction. The tower foun-
dation has been laid^ and the
ground system consisting of ap-
proximately five miles of copper
wire has been finished and work
on the main building was started
this Wednesday.
The project is for the Depart-
ment of Public Safety and is
welcomed by all Boerne. We
realize that it is a big thing for
Boerne and are anxious for it
WORK STARTED ON
BOERNE MAIN STREET
T. C. Cage, contractors of San
Antonio, started work on their
contract to build curb, gutters
and pave Main Street.
Mr. Giesen, who is in charge
of the work, is looking for ad-
ditional laborers. He can be con-
tacted at I. A. Kutzer’s lot back
of the Soil Conservation head-
quarters. Anyone wanting work
should see him.
The work has been allotted
100 working days, but Mr. Gie-
sen stated they probably would
only require 78 working days to
complete the project.
KENDALL SOIL
CONSERVATION
DISTRICT NEWS
Additional terrace and diver-
sion fines were run on the D. P.
West Ranch this week by Soil
Conservation Service personnel.
This completes the entire terrac-
ing layout and protects every
field that was planned under the
soil and moisture conservation
program on Mr. Prassel’s ranch.
The intentions are to have these
terraces constructed with heavy
equipment.
Some of the farm stock ponds
will be found to have an inade-
quate water shed during the pro-
longed dry spells. To increase
the drainage area into these
ponds where terrain permits, di-
versions can be run diverting by-
passing water, into these con-
fines. Such diversion was lay-
ed out recently on the Edwin
Scheele ranch, north of Sister-
dale. This should aid in filling
this pond, helping to insure an
abundance of water at all times.
Completed terrace systems
were constructed this week by
the use of the G. B. R. A. main-
tainer on the L. E. Spiller and
Charles Pruter ranches in the
Walnut Grove Conservation
Group which is located north of
Boerne on the Sisterdale Road.
All terraces, that were layed out
were of the channel type. The
construction and checking was
supervised by the soil conserva-
tion service technicians assisting
the Kendall Soil Conservation
District.
Boerne regrets the departure
of Capt. and Mrs. Dan Canty and
son, Johnny, who have sold their
home in Boerne and moved to
106 Concord avenue, San Anto-
nio, to be closed to the univer-
sity Johnny will attend.
