On page six of this weeks Herald
the Tulia High School Hornet
official school publication makes
its 194041debut in a new and
different dress from previous
years printings The outstanding
characteristic of the page that
will distinguish it from the conventional
Is the white space separating
paragraphs This effect is
achieved through the absence of
column rules and setting the type
w line a fraction of an inch one
haM pica shorter just good
Zmh century journalism

EYE FOR AN EYE
For the second consecutive week
the editor of the Herald has received
a pamphlet Facts in Review
distributed through the
mails from the German Library
of Information in New York City
o this sort on the part
Solerancy
CUnclc Sam is nothing short of
foolhardy especially in the face
of the knowledge that if such a
practice were attempted in Gcr
Jmany the effort not only would
be strictly forbidden but in all
probability open suicide Lets

LAMB AND LION
From one of our favorite
stooges we learned this week
that a local woman bought a live
chicken for her Sunday dinner
There is nothing wrong with that
She had to call in a neighbor boy
to kill it because she couldnt bear
to wring its neck There is nothing
wfrong with that either Sunday
tfear husband was late for
dinner and the same woman told
friend husband that she would
take real pleasure in wringing his
neck Some women arc like that
ttt
AFTER ALLS
For a peep into the political
front and to leave all party feeling
aside we believe talking ones
problems over with some other
person often times is an effective
lOTd lifter But what is hard to
understand is what information
could Alf Landon give Wendell
WiHkie that could be helpful in
t his race for the presidency

DOGHOUSE
Persons interested in the restoration
of the doghouse broadcast
booth at Younger field should
contact George Childress or Tiny
Wellborn A clear scientific analy
fljs of the game over the public
address system is a big help to
many of the fans The proposition
is Childress and Wellborn
have the sound equipment if Mr
Fan has the doghouse

HERE AND YON
A good sign for a grocery
store No long waits no short
weights Despite all of our
proBritish feeling there is one
thingcertain about the war news
trm England nnd Germany and
ttiat is that both sides have some
expert liars A hobby is
something one puts money into
for amusement without expecting
to reimburse himself through profit
That must be the reason why
some men refer to their business
as a hobby Except the lazy
man every person in good health
enjoys work Here is a deicer

girl contestants in the t National

Two might well insert such ads
In thicr newspapers for they let
201671 slip through their fingers
by falling to earn that much of
the 782071 maximum soilbulld
ing allowance set up for them under
the 103D AAA program They
earned in soilbuilding payments
581003 or 742 per cent of the
maximum available
Swisher County according to
lecords pleased by Leston F
Bain county administrative officer
had in 1039 n total soilbuild
ing allowance of 55809 Local
fanners earned 35978 of this or
045 per cent of the total amount
available to them
Under the AAA program a
maximum soilbuilding allowance
Is set up for each cooperating
farm base on the nondepleting
cropland acreage commercial orchard
acreage and noncrop open
pasture land acreage To receive
any of the payments from this
allowance the farmer must put
into effect on his farm approved
AAA soilbuilding practices And
the more work he docs the more
money he ears up to the maximum
ullowancc
Topping the list of counties in
this district In 1939 was Hockley
whose farmers did enough soil
building work to earn 878 percent
52272 of the 59505 available
Lowest ranking county was
Floyd where only 593 per cent
was earned At that Floyd county
was far above many other
counties in the state and better
even than the uvcrages fot some
districts
The Swisher County ACA office
is asking that ull farmers
who have earned practices on
their farm since their land was
recently measured to report the
extent of these practices to the
office cither on prescribed forms
supplied them or by calling at
the office to report This cooperation
will speed up the completion
of application for payments
