Interest Still Strong""1
In Senatorial Race
Over the State
It Is generally conceeded that
the vote tomorrow in the second
primary will not be as heavy as
It was in the first primary In Ju-
ly; but this Is only an opinion,
and elections oftentimes bring a-
bout unusual surprises. ~
The Interest still is strong in
the Senatorial race over the state
ind the two Candidates rush from
/one end of the state to the other
in a short period of twenty days,
in an effort to hold their own and
gain the votes cast in the July
primary for Dan Moody.
^Senator W. Lee O'Daniel ■ and
Judge James V.'Ajfred are 'con-
gesting for the full term of six
years as Junior Senator from
Texas; both are former governors
of the State. In the first primaiy
O'Daniel received 4g percent of
the vote, Allred 32 percent, anil
Moody 18 per cent.
Interest locally is centered on
only one office, that of County
Judge, in which Warren Hames of
Crosbytqi\ and JrJH. Rankin, ot
Ralls, are making the run-off
race. Originally there were four
in the race for County Judge, and
the following vote was cast in
this race in Hje July primary: I.
C. Pyerley 181, Warren HarnPs
972, J. M. Rankin 628, and Clay
Henry 552.

i to enlist at least...§.000 men during
the months-Of^August and Sep-
tember, in which campaign Cros-

quota of 18,. men, but none has
been enlisted from this county,
Lieut. L. H. Ridout, Jf., officer
in charge of the North ^Texas re-
cruiting district, announced to-
uay.
"Many counties are reaching
their quotas, but the report from
this county is far from encourag-
ing," said Lieut. Ridqut. He was
.confident, however, *that the var-
• ious civic groups and committee's
aiding in this tremendous drivi
for recruits would redouble their
efforts in aid in procuring men
for naval service.
He was also confident that the
quota of 6000 men from the North
Texas district would be reached
and expressed his thanks tg ail
persons and organizations active-
ly engaged in this campaign.
Members of the local voluntary
navy committee aiding in the
campaign, include.John O. Little-
field, members of the American
Legion, and operators-of all Mag-
nolia Service stations.
A member of the Navy Recruit-
ing station of Lubbock will be
in Floydada each Saturday to in-
terview Navy applicants. Men in-
terested in joining any branch of
the Navy are cordially invited to
visit the Recruiting station at

mation and enlistment.

Danger of Leaf Worms
7 Indicated by County
Agent's Report
Although very little rain has
fallen in Crosbyton during the
past week, localities adjacent to,
and other parts of the county, re-
port heavy showers. As much as
1.50 to 3 inches, covering only
small areas, has bgen reported. .38
of an Inch was recorded at Cros-
byton .during the weeK.
Information gathered from far-
mers in most localities indicate
that rain is not needed for cot-
ton. Others say that where no
rain has fallen, moisture would
help fill out the bolls to maturity.
Feed stuff, however, would be
greatly benefited by rain.
Danger of leaf worms, which
are showing up in widely scatter-,
ed localities in £he "county, is in-
dicated by the county agent. They
thrive*1 on wet weather, and for
this reason, it would be more ben--
eficial for the weather to remain
hot and dry,"" W. R. Kimbrough,
county agent, believes. He isy urg-
ing poisoning now for the leaf
worm. Largest signs of the worm
is in the Owens community, he
stated.

War Purchase Stamp
No. 8 Will Be Valid For
Sugar On August 23
War Ration Stamp No. 8 will
be valid for the purchase' of five
pounds of sugar during the ten-
week period beginning August 2'1
and ending October 31, C. W.
Hash, chairman of the Cnfeby
County War Price and Rationing
Board, announced yesterday
"This Is a larger amount of su-
gar and the ration period is long-
er than has been assigned for any
previous stamp," Mr. Hash ex-
plained, "but each person will
^have to "Continue^ ysing sugar at
the original rate of no more than
half a pound a week to make the
five-pound ration last ten weeks."
Mr. Hash said the allotment of
five poUnds on Stamp No. ^8 will
permit household useifs to buy su-
gar in larger packages, and also
will help to dispose of five, ten
and 25-poUnd packages.
. "Packages of these sizes . were
put Up last fall ftiid winter befbftf
It was known that rationing was
necessary," he said, "and stores
have h«3 difficulty in disposing of
these larger packffg'fe's, because
the ration stamps heretofore have
bfeep valTd~~?0?^anly one or two-
pound purchases. Unless the su-
gar in the larger packages Is sold
It would have to be repackaged,
and that would cause an undesir-
able waste Of labor and mater-
ials."
Stamps Number 6 and 7 carry
validity, for the purchase of two
ppunds of sugar each until mid-
night of August 22.

"People must get it into their
minds that if they have only one
pound of scrap metal, we must
have it," Mr. Terrell, the chair--
man, stated. One pound of scrap
iron will make one hand grenade,
^nd' one pound multiplied by one
hundred and thirty million people
in the United states will make a
mighty big scrap heap."

Most'of^the large plies of scrap
in the couhty have already been
brought in, he pointed out. For
this reason, It Is going to be up
to the people who have only small
plies of the metal to make this
campaign a success. For thbiiS
whp have only a small amount of
scrap and do not Want to bother
with going to the junk dealer- to
sell It, a place will be arranged,
probably In the park on the
square, for you to drive, by and
dump your scrap. All proceeds
from this pile of scrap will be gitf-
en to the Community Chest fund
of the Crosbyton Lions Club, to be
used only for such purposes as
^buying .glasses rfor underprivileged
children, aiding crippled children
and the like. If you want to-sell
scrap metal, Crosbyton's junls
yard is-iocated just east of the
square at Anderson Wrecking
Yard. Pricejs for this scrap metal
are fixed by the government, and
dealers are allowed only a small
percentage of profit.
