George B. Terrell, state com-
missioner of agriculture at Aus-
tin, together with J. S. Wood-
ward, chief of the nurseries dt-
vsion of that department, were in
Canadian Monday, making an an-
nual inspection of the green-
houses here.
Mr. Terrell says he finds con-
dition, so far as agriculture is
concerned, excellent throughout
this section.
"With the good wheat crop this
section produced and the price
the farmers reveived for their
wheat, you folk should be well
j fixed," said ttye commissioner.
I "If I lived on the Plains, in this
part of the state, I would stick
pretty close to wheat for my big
crop."
Mr. Terrell and M*r. Woodward
left Canadian, for Perryton,
.where they will make some in-
spections.
Canadian is one of the largest s hipping point for hogs of any
point on the Santa Fe between Wichita, Kansas and California. As
many as 800 car loads of hogs have been shipped from here in a
single year, according to careful estimates. The above picture is a
scene in the hog pens at the local stock yards.

V.st week.
The honor conferred on the lo-
cal young women may mean they
will be given a trip to Europe
this summer, according to an ar-
ticle carried in the Simmons Uni-
versity newspaper. It has this to
; y about a tour of the famous
Cowboy Band and pep squad:
"Paris, France, is being told
about the proposed European tour
summer of the Simmons Uni-
versity Cowboy Band and pep
squad through the International
Press.
"A clipping from the Paris edi-
tion of the New York Herald was
received last week by Mrs. Fred
Cockrell from her daughtr, Mrs.
William Proctor Preston of Rio
de Janerio, Brazil, who with her
daughters, Misses Edith and Em-
meline Preston, are spending the
y.-'ir in Paris. The story announc-
os the coming of the 'Texans to
Paris next year.
"Headed Texas Cowboy Band
and Cowgirls will be here next
year," the story reads as follows:
Mr. Guy Golterman, well known
New York lawyer now in Paris,
who arrived via the Loviathan,
has an exclusive lease on the new-
ly built $3,000,000 grand opera
theater in Saint Louis, and has
come over prepared to offer en-
gagements to European operatic
talent.
"Another object of Mr. Goiter-
man's visit is to complete ar-
rangements for a European tour
next summer of the Simmons
University Cowboy Band. The
band numbers fifty and is com-
posed of students from the cow
country of Texas. They will be
accompanied by the Cowgirl pep
squad of Simmons University,
Abilene, and other residents at
the University, including a num-
ber of professors bringing the
party up to more than two hun-
dred. Clothed in their riding

A gain of $171,067.28 has been
made in deposits of the three Can-
adian banks since the call last
:June, according to statements
made by the three banking institu-
tions on call of October 4. The
(combined deposits of the banks on
'the recent call are shown to be
! $1,203,473.56.
! Of the total deposits, the First
.National Bank reports $523,070.09
in deposits on call October 4.
This is probably the largest
amount ever reported on call by
any Canadian banking house. The
high point in deposits at this time
is attributed by local bankers to
cattle money being received here.
Combined deposits of Canadian
i banks upon call October 3, 1928,
iwere $1,149,580.58, which indi-
cates a gain made this year over
last of $53,892.98.

Representatives of the Hemp-
hill County commissioners' court
and Carl Studer will leave this
week for Austin, to confer with
the state highway commission
next Monday, on 100-foot high-
ways for this county, Judge O. R.
McMordie announces.
Edw. Balderston and W. W.
Lewis expect to make the trip
accompanied by Mr. Studer. Judge
McM'ordie said he will make the
trip, if he possibly can. In case
he cannot, Will Crow, County at-
torney, may represent the judge.
J. C. Studer was elected last
weekly by the Chamber of Com-
merce to make the trip represent-
ing that body at Austin. Mr. Stu-
der said at that time, if he him-
self was unable to go he would
| have his son, Carl, make the trip
in his place.
The commissioners court has
signed an agreement to give 100
foot right-of-ways to the State
engineer's department, but has
not yet presented the agreement
to the department at Austin.
This signed agreement will be
taken to Austin, this week.
Whether or not it is filed with the
state highway department de-
pends upon results from the con-
ference with the highway com-
mission.

BABY CLINIC A FEATURE
OF HEMPHILL CO. FAIR
The Baby Clinic, which will be
held in connection with the Hemp-
I hill County Fair this year, will be
conducted along the same lines as
last year. Dr. E. H. Morris an-
nounces. It will be in charge of
a Pediatist from Amarillo, prob-
ably Dr. George Cultra, a child
specialist of note.
This clinic is not in any sense
a contest but purely educational
and advisory. Two lectures will
be given on some subject relative
to the health and welfare of ba-
bies and examinations of infants
will be made by the visiting spe-
cialists who will make suggestions
for the babies' benefit. The time
of the Baby Clinic has not been
determined as yet, but it will
probably be Saturday, October 26,
at the W. C. T. U. rooms. Last
year, about twenty-five babies
were examined and it is hoped
.that this year many more will be
brought to the. clinic. The age
limit will be four years unless
time permits for examination of
older children.
The Baby Clinic is free, and is
put on by the Hemphill County
Fair cimmittee for the assistance
it affords for all who will take
advantage of it.
Watch next week's Record for
the exact time for the Clinic.

day.
Hemphill County led the entire
state of Texas in agriculture at
the State Fair held at Dallas, this
week. It was awarded first place
Tuesday, for a display which Par-
ker D. Hanna, county agent, took
to Dallas last week.
A telegram from Mr. Hanna re-
ceived by The Record reads as
follows:
"Won with bigger lead over
nearest county than difference be-
between any of the first ten coun-
ties. Total score was 936. This
county took first in wheat. In in-
dividual exhibits, J. C. Studer's
apples took first. The county ex-
hibit is characterized as the out-
standing exhibit of the biggest ag-
ricultural show ever held at the
Dallas Fair."
Numerous telegrams of congrat-
ulations have been sent to Mr.
(Hanna by business houses and or-
ganizations, since the news of his
succes was received here Tuesday.
First place won by Hemphill
County carries with it a cash
[award of $200. Other counties
(ranked as follows:
I Eastland, second; Garza, third,
Harrison, fourth and Lamar, fifth.
Thirty-two counties competed in
the agricultural exhibits. Wheeler
County's exhibit which took iiiird
place at the Tri-State Fair placed
eleventh at Dallas.
The Hemphill county exhibit
won second place at the Tri-State
fair with a total of 925 points out
of a possible 1,000 points. That ex-
hibit was also prepared by Par-
ker D. Hanna.
The background of the exhibit,
displayed by Mr. Hanna, showed'
the diversity of Hemphill County
agriculturally with cotton, wheat
and row crops predominating.

AUTO CRASH AT BAD
CORNER INJURES ONE
J. H. Breeding, age 67, for more
than five years an employe of R.
T. Alexander, is in the Canadian
Hospital suffering from several
broken ribs as result of a head-on
collision of two motor cars Thurs-
day afternoon. October 10, at the
junction of the Miami and Gem
City roads, one mile south of Can-
adian. The accident happened at
the corner where numerous other
such accidents have occurred on
account of a high bank along the
highway, which obstructs the view
of cars coming from the opposite
direction.
HAVE YOU A FAIR BOOTH?
Canadian business firms are
asked to help the fair committee
to have the fair more complete
by putting in individual booths.
Without question we shall have
the largest crowds and the most
diversified list of entries. Canad-
ian must rally to the importance
of her job. Already several firm*
have requested places. About
twenty entries would be fine.
There- should be dry goods, drug
stores, grocery stores, hardware
stores, grocery stores, hardware,
furniture, lumber, implement,
bakery, banks, autos and in fact
every business could afford to put
in a booth. It will tend to make
our fair the most interesting evet
held. Please see L. A. McAdams
as soon as possible.
