Blackland cotton farmers are
chomping the bits over cotton
acreage cuts for 1950 and are go-
ing to do something about it. It
appears the allotments will force
big reductions on land suited to
grow cotton, and give about the
same acreage in 1950 to land up-
on which cotton cannot be grown
at a profit. Just more regimen-
tation from Washington that will
cost the nation billions without
any resulting benefit.

It is easy to pick out the week
end. It is the end of the week
when papers publish long lists of
traffic accidents.
Ever notice how easy it is to
enjoy a fortune before you get it?
A lot of men miss their wives’
cooking every chance they get.
Narrow-minded people are
those who are on the other side
of the question.
Probably the reason a dog is
man’s best friend is because he
can’t talk back.
We don’t know what the world
is coming to, but we hope it is
coming to its senses.
Even though you can’t win it’ll
give you a thrill to make the man
ahead break a record.
Little Johnny thinks that what
the country needs around Christ-
mas time is longer stockings.
Whenever a gimmecrat bellows
“uncle,” there is no question who
the uncle is, says the Dallas News.
Some folks acknowledge that it
pays to be good, but they want
the pay to be on a time-and-a-
half scale.
Men put off things they ought
to do, and women put off things
they ought to wear.
We will appreciate your print-
ing orders, large or ^mall.
People who take pride in being
themselves might have reason to
feel prouder if they would give
themselves a good working over
occasionally.
The fate of the proposed con-
stitutional amendments was a
forceful expression of the voters
against new taxes. The pay in-
crease for legislators alone would
have hiked state expenses $2,-
500,000 every two years.

Kidnap Charges
Filed Against
Blossom Men
Three Blossom men have been
charged with kidnaping follow-
ing a Saturday night incident.
They were released Monday on
$750 bond each.
Clarence Anderson of Deport,
nightwatchman for a road con-
struction project on Highway 82,
told county law officers that the
three men forced him into their
car at gunpoint Saturday night
and took him to Oklahoma.
Sheriff Willie P. Lane said An-
derson told him that the three
men took him into Oklahoma
then returned late Saturday
night. Anderson told the sheriff
that the men’s car ran out of gas
about two miles north of Paris
and that he was able to escape
under the pretense that he was
going to get some gas.
Anderson told his story to the
officers after catching a bus into
Paris. The three Blossom men
were picked up Sunday morning
then released Monday on bond
after charges were filed in jus-
tice court.
IT’S NOT TRUE
Teacher: “What are the peo-

sey, and one after her marriage
to Mr. Quaid. She is survived by
