Honoring the retiring worthy
matron and worthy patron, Mrs.
G.'W. Culbertson and W. J. Stub-
blefield, and the incoming worthy
matron and worthy patron, Mrs.
Jessie Pearston and W. W. Sim-
mons, the Order of the Eastern
entertained with a banquet Fri-
day evening at Riley’s Cafe.
Following the banquet, the
group retired to the Masonic Hall
for an interesting program and
the installation of the new of-
ficers
After the invocation by the
Rev. J. E. Stephens and the wel-
come 'by iMts. Culbertson, the
group gave the pledge of allegi-
ance to the flag and sang “Amer-
ica.” Mr. Simmons gave a brief
history of the order.
Mrs. Logan Fleming and Miss
Max Helen Pickens sang “Star
of the East” accompanied by
Mrs. Neal Edwards. Mrs. Ray Ve-
ale gave a reading; Mrs. C. W.
Watson and Mrs. Harold Drum-
mond sang “The Long Day

The beautiful installation pro-
gram followed with Mrs. W. W.

is, Dorothy Nell {Mister, Clara
Meaker, Shirley EVans, and Jane

New officers are Mrs. Pearston,
The Fanners National Bank of
this city in keeping with the pro-
gress of many larger banking in-
stitutions have installed an im-
proved and simplified system of
photographic records of paid
checks for the protection of their
many depositors that assures ac-
curacy, efficiency and safety.
Of importance to the depositor
as well as to the bank, photogra-
phic records are tamper-proof,
and extraction-proof, and substi-
tution-proof, and tend to en-
chance customers satisfaction.
With the new system the Bank
can now say to its depositors:
“From now on, in the event of
loss or destruction of your own
financial records, we will be able
to protect you with an exact pho-
tograph of every cheek on your
monthly statement.”
Not only accuracy, but speed in
the booking department is claim-
ed for the new system.
The directors of the Farmers
National Bank are to be congra-
tulated on the installation of this
up-to-the-minute system of hand-
ling their cusomers accounts.

MISS SEITZ AND
HENRY HOLLABAUGH
MARRY AT SAYRE
Tuesday noon considerable ex-
citment prevailed in Groom when
a tourist traveling west on High-
way 66 stopped at a local filling
station and reported a man on
the highway east of town per-
fectly nude. In passing the man
attempted to throw himself under
the tourist’s car, but instead
struck the front fender of the
car.
Mr. Smith, the local officer be-
ing out of town at the time D.
M. Keahey and Truett Fields
went out to investigate and found
the man dazed, and with a brok-
en left arm above the wrist with
considerable bridges. On appro-
aching the man made fight and
with considerable difficulty he
was overpowered, tied and
brought to the office of Dr. John
L. W'itt where first aid medical
treatment was administered.
He refused, or was so goggy
that he would not talk, and his
identity could not be established.
No letters or cards were found in
his clothes that would identify
him.
The man appeared to be about
40 years of age of stout build
and probably weighing two hun-
dred pounds.
An ambulance was called and
the man accompanied by two
State Patrolemen was transferred
to Amarillo.— Groom News

trict.

ed his or her territory, the report

St. Louis, Mo., June 6.—Sup-
ported by leaders in every phase
of public life, Red Cross chapters
redoubled efforts this week to
raise the $20,000,000 Red Cross
war relief fund. Meanwhile, a 9,-
000-ton “mercy ship” Avas sche-
duled to sail this Aveek for France
Avith a million dollar cargo of
American Red Cross relief suppli-
es.
The Avar fund goal Avas increas-
ed to $20,000,000 to help meet a
refugee problem of “unprece-
dented and unforeseen propor-
tions,” William M. Baxter, Jr.,
manager of the Red Cross Mid-
Avestern area, said today.
“After the tragic events of the
past Aveeks the $10,000,000 origi-
nally asked by the American Red
Cross Avill be insufficient to cope
Avith the desperate ned in Europe
today,’’Ahe said. “America is the
one outstanding neutral nation
where these suffering people can
turn for aid. Unless their plight
is quickly relieved, there can be
little hope for these stricken pop-
ulations against actual hunger
and disease, I cannot stress too
stirongly the urgejncy of this
need.”
RED CROSS
There folloAvs the most recent
telegram from the American Red
Cross received by Mrs. T. H. Mc-
Kenzie, County c h air man:
“When American Red Cross ask-
ed minimum Avar relief fund of
ten million dollars, no one could
foresee that in tAVo short Aveeks
the greatest tragedy in all history
could be unfold. Impossible to
describe pitiful plight of millions
