changed the history of Wat Texas’
cattle empire back in the eighties.
His partner in the barbed wire
business was J. F. Glidden.
Marking the ranch's 50th anni-
versary as Ellwood property was
the wedding there of Col. Ellwood’s
great granddaughter. Harriet Kee-
ney of Somerville, Conn., to Wil-
lard Francis Pinney, also of Som-
erville. The wedding took place in
the recently constructed Keeney-
Chappell home at the ranch.
The home was built for the fam-
ilies of Mrs. R. Leland Keeney of
Somerville and Mrs. Frank Chap-
pell of New London, Conn., gears
daughters of the late Col. I. L. Eu-
wood and daughter of the late W.
L Ellwood, one of the heirs of the
Ellwood estate.
Other homes are maintained on
the ranch by E. P. Ellwood, son of
the late Col Ellwood, and E. P.
Ellwood's son, another I. L Ell-
wood. The E. P. Ellwoods divide
time between the ranch and their
home to DeKalb, Ill., while the
I. L. Ellwoods live in both Chicago
and DeKalb what time they are
away from the ranch. The old
ranch headquarters house is oc-
cupied by O. F. Jones, ranch man-
ager for the past’27 years, and his
family.

The Renderbrook is one of the
few ranches of this section to have
grown larger and stronger with the
passing years. It was a leader in

century ago and is still a leader

known as "Spade" Evans, a
rancher on Saddler creek to Don-

to July 11, 1883

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—op-
Victorious to three important farm-
er referenda this fall, administra-
tion leaders contended today that
New Deal crop control policies
would go into the 1940 presidential
campaign with greater support from
producers than at any time since
their inauguration in 1933
Cotton producers joined growers
of burley and flue-cured tobacco by
vottog Saturday to adopt strict
marketing control provisions next
year. Virtually complete returns
gave 803,095 votes for marketing
quotas and 79,928 against.

a 'grass roots" study of the agri-
cultural problem Their finds will
be used in formulating substitute

Administration leaders cited re-
sults of this fall's referenda ana
participation of corn and wheat
growers in programs affecting these
crops as evidence of stronger ap-
proval of federal efforts to boost
farm income.
Expressing confidence that pres-
ent policies are "here to stay," Sec-
retary Wallace and his aides will
try to win congressional enactment
of processing taxes. Revenue from
such taxes, they say, would make
crop programs partly self-support-
ing.
Expecting the army and navy to
| come in for a larger share of the
government's income during the
next few years, the farm officials
are particularly eager to free their
programs from complete depend-
ency on the general revenue fund.

In Lamar, and in other schools,
a very interesting unit of work has

study grew designs to all-over pat-

Hatch Wants Curb
On State Workers'
Political Activities
WASHINGTON Dec 11.—AP—
Senator Hatch (D-NM) proposed
today that congress forbid politi-
cal activities of state employes
paid in part with federal funds
The author of the law which
imposes such a ban on moat fed-
eral employes said his proposal
would cover such persons as state
highway department employes, so-
cial security workers and office
holders to other state agencies to
which the federal government con-
tributes money
Predicting that there would be
little opposition to the extension.
Hatch pointed out that one of the
chief complaints against his orig-
inal measure was that it took fed-
eral official* out of politics with-
out similarly restricting state offi-
cers
The New Mexico senator declared
that his law already had had a
marked effect particularly in
eliminating politics in relief, and
could be expected to become even
more effective in the 1940 cam-
paign Among other things. It pro-
hibits solicitation of campaign
funds from relief recipients and

1 HIS HIT OR MISS METHOD •/ tobacco
blending was never very satisfactory. But it proved
one thing to both smokers and manufacturers, that
you must have a blend of tobaccos to get better
smoking results, because no one tobacco by itself
has all the qualities necessary to a good smoke.
THE CHESTERFIELD tobacco buyers select and
bid in at the auction sales the tobacco types that best
fit the Chesterfield blend, which is the right combination
of exactly the right amounts of Maryland, Burley and
Bright with just enough Turkish. These tobaccos and
the Chesterfield way of blending them make Chester-
field different from any other cigarette.
