The Rest Of The
Record"
By JAMES V. ALLRED
Governor of Texas
the time you read this
We will be back in Texas and,
notwithstanding the wonderful
privilege it has been to visit
Mexico, happy to be back home.
We are particularly anxious to
see little David, our second son,
and baby Sam Houston.
It is difficult for us to realize
that it is so hot in Texas. Mexi-
co City is 7500 feet high and
the weather is ideal. They tell
us it is this way the year round
—little cooler in winter than
in summer. It was a little chilly
i for us at first—believe it or
not, we asked for a fire at
lunch; now, however, we are
accustomed to it and the
weather is lovely. Occasionally
when the mountain tops are
clear of clouds, we can see two
snow capped volcano peaks in
the distance.
Although Ambassador Jose-
-._j|Rbus Daniels is in Europe, he
wired his assistants here to
insist upon our staying at the
American Embassy. So here we
xare—and we have never been
privileged to stay at a lovelier
„ . fr lace. Our own Government of-
ficials have been almost as
marvelous to us as those of
the Mexican government.
Last week I told you how hos-
pitable these people had been
to us in the early stages of our
visit; this hospitality has in-
creased in warmth at every
stage. We have been entertained
by seven governors in as many
state capitols, and by officers
in the President's cabinet here
in Mexico. It clearly demon-
strates that these people believe
in the Good Neighbor policy
inaugurated by President Roose-
velt.
President Cardenas of Mexi-
co )s absent from the capitol.
He is in the state of Yucatan,
which is the most southern
Mexican state, working on
agrarian, or agricultural prob-
lems. He sent us a warm tele-
gram of welcome, then com-
missioned the Governor of this
Federal District to call on us
officially as his representative.
Mrs. Allred is visiting the Presi-
Rent's wife today. Everywhere
^hese people seem to realize
that they have more in com-
mon with Texas than perhaps
any other state; I think if we
take the same position, it can
ly result in more business and
tter relations for all of us.
It would be impossible in this
short space to even refer to all
the interesting places we l^ave

E-Texas Club Boys
Find Farm Poultry
Flocks Profitable
East Texas farmers and 4-H
club boys are finding that qual-
ity poultry makes the farm
poultry flock a paying propo-
sition, according to reports re-
ceived from county agricultural
agents in this section.
From 300 baby chicks which
he bought this spring, Odell
McMullen, of the Berea 4-H
boys' club in Marion county,
has raised 271 chickens. The use
of home grown feed enabled
young McMullen to keep down
his feed costs. Out of the 271
chickens, he sold 144 cockerels
as fryers for enough cash to
pay all expenses on his dem-
onstration, and he has on hand
127 fine young pullets which
are beginning to come into pro-
duction.
From 46 white leghorn pul-
lets that were hatched on Feb.
8, E. P. Jennings, Kountze, Har-
din county, is gathering an
average of 37 eggs a day. Jen-
nings purchased 50 sexed, two
weeks' old chicks on February
22. Of the 50, three were cock-
erels, and one chick was in-
jured and killed. In this, his
first experience in the poultry
venture, Jennings followed Ex-
tension* Service methods in
feeding, housing and caring
for his birds. He plans to grad-
ually increase the size of his
flock to some 200 hens.
The county agricultural agent
of Upshur county, in a series
of five demonstrations during
July, vaccinated 1,012 pullets
against roup. In six culling
demonstrations, 345 hens were
removed from flocks totaling
1,0003 birds. Hie agent reported
that as the result of a vaccinat-
ing demonstration two years
ago, J. M. Lee, a poultry dem-
onstrator, vaccinated the 683
pullets in his flock.

Andrew Hubbard Of
Husk Now Manager
Of Brookshire Bros.
Andrew Hubbard of Rusk, ar-
rived in Mineola yesterday and
assumed the managership of
the local Brookshire Bros, gro-
cery store. He replaced Chester
Magee, former manager.
Mr. Hubbard has moved his
family here and will make his
home at the Birdsong residence.
Here's A Hint For
Making Sandwiches
When there are young folk
in the family, there are likely
to be constant raids on the
refrigerator, aftetr an After-
noon of tennis or hiking, or an
evening of dancing. And if you
would be the most popular
mother in the crowd, see to it
that the refrigerator is well
fortified.
Pressed corned beef is a
favorite in many circles for such
occasions, says Inez S. Wilson,
home economist. A good-sised
piece of corned beef can be
cooked at once, then pressed
and stored in the refrigerator
until the occasion demands that
it be sliced for sandwiches.
To cook corned beef, cover it
with water and allow it to cook
slowly until it is done. The
water should never be allowed
to boil, for a temperature as
high as boiling water toughens
meat. Instead, it should be
cooked at a simmering tempera-
ture. If the water is very salty,
pour it off and cover with
fresh water. Then the corned
beef is tender, remiove it from
the heat and cool until luke-
warm in its own liquid, then
place it in a loaf pan or any
other utensil suitable for mold-
ing. Place a lid smaller than
the pan over it, and a weight on
this. Store it in a cold place
several hours before slicing.

Some folks should not wait
until New Years to turn over
a new leaf. They should turn
one over every day.

Yard Improvement
Seen Throughout
East Texas Farms
BANK HOLIDAY
This Bank will be closed
all day Monday, August 23.
This being Constitutional
Amendment election day. All
our customers are advised to
be governed accordingly.
—First National Bank.
Mr. and Mrs. Ned Hudson
are here from Palestine this
week greeting old friends.
Home Denjonstration club
members and 4-H club girls of
East Texas am doing a large
volume of yard improvement
work, county home demonstra-
tion agents from that section
report.
In Cass county, 23 club girls
have reached the goal* of root-
ing 10 shrubs of three varieties
and 10 rose cuttings, adding two
pieces of yard furniture, plant-
ing a screen of from 5 to 20
shrubs, and laying a walk. Con-
struction of walks is very popu-
lar with the girls, and 32 have
made walks from native sand
rock, iron ore rocks, or native
gravel.
Typical of the reports made
by Cass county 4-H club girls
is that of Stella Bernice Collier
of the Laney club, who said,
"I rooted 30 shrubs and 15
rose cuttings; they are all do-1
ing well, and will be ready to
reset this fall." Another mem-
ber of the Laney club, Marjorie
Thomas, rooted 300 evergreen
shrubs and 20 rose bushes, in
addition to making a walk, 3 1-2
feet wide, from the front door-
steps to the drive.
When Mrs. H. C. Rabe of the
New Hope club asked the San
Jacinto county home demon-
stration agent for recommenda-
tions c.3 to where to make a
walk, she was told, "In the
path where ;you have been
walking." Now an attractive,
inconspicious gravel walk takes
the place of the beaten path
across the large lawn.
. As the result of yard im-
provement demonstrations in
Smith county, many improve-
ments have been made. The
county home demonstration
agent has reported that 23
yards have been leveled, 81
lawns sodded, 75 cutting beds
made, 16,400 cuttings have been
set out, and 46 rose gardens
planted.

Service Station; Is
Solely Tire Dealer
H. G. Pegues announces that
he has completely relinquished
his interests in service stations
in Mineola, having recently sold
his Humble station to E. L.
Largent, and will henceforth
devote all of his activities to
carrying on an exclusive tire
store.
Mr. Pegues states in an ad-
vertisement in this issue of the
Mineola Monitor that the
Pegues Tire Store can offer ex-
ceptional bargains in new tires.
He carries a full stock of all
sizes of tires, having recently
received a full carload of tires.
This was the first complete
car of tires ever received by a
dealer in East Texas, which
shows how large and complete
his stock now is.
An exchange offer is made on
old tires on purchase of new
ones, and Mr. Pegues advises
that he has on hand some real
bargains in used tires which will
be well worth the money.

Let's Talk
About Clothes
T. S. C. W. Feature Service
Jewels, satins, metal cloths
and velvets—these luscions
words echo the luxury and
sophistication of the 1937 fall
fashions. Returning wealth is
followed by returning elegance
in clothes, and the race is onl
With a slim silhouette com-
pletely in possession of the
field, Paris and Hollywood de-
signers have made the most of
drapes and lovely molded lines.
Necklines are scandalously low,
waists are normally high, and
many beltless dresses are in
evidence. Shoulders are natural
for dressy occasions and moder-
ately squared for sports wear
Paris says that skirts must be
a little longer, Hollywood says
shorter, and milady is left to
her own desires.
Hip length jackets prevail
for daytime suits, but swing
backs are definitely going, go-
ing, gone. Up-town suits are-
shown always in two or more
colors, jacket one color, skirt
another, and blouse completing
the mix-up. There are reams
of full-length fitted coats, with
sporty models in tweed showing
an unexaggerated flare.
Plaids, checks and stripes are
as good as ever, with pink and
dark combinations favored. Stu-
dents at Texas State College
for Women note with interest
the new ideas on trimming,
which range from velvet on
wool to braid, quilting, rich,
embroidery and fur.
Everything but trains will ap-
pear on fall evenings, and not
in years has there been such an
outburst of gorgeous materials.
Black, of course, is reaching
an all-time high in popularity
this season, and materials
favored for general wear are
woolen broadcltoh, bedford
cord (shades of grandmother! )*
non-crushable velvet, dull and
satin back crepes.
