By the time you read thia, we will
be back in Texaa and, notwi the tending
the wonderful privilege it haa been to
viait Mexico, happy Xo be back home.
We are particularly anxioua to aee
little David, our aecono non, and baby
Sum Houston.
It is difficult for us to realize that
it is so hot in Texa*. Mexico City ia
7600 feet high and the weather is
ideal. They tell us it is this way the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, which activity in this area in-
cludes the making of supervised loans
to farmers in need of operating capi-
tal to enable them to become better
"established in the farming business.
Plans of procedure for next year
have been formulated, and it ia antici-
pated that the number of loan custom-
ers will be reduced and that a more
concentrated supervisory program will'

year round—little cooler in winter
than in summer. It was a little chil-
ly for us at first—believe it or not,
we asked for a fire at lunch; now,
however, we are accustomed to it and
the weatehr is lovely. Occasionally
when the mountain tops are clear of
clouds, we can see two snow capped
volcano peaks in the distance.
Although Ambassador Josephus
Daniels is in Europe, he wired his as-
sistants here to insist upon our stay-
ing at the American Embassy. So
here we are—and we have never been
privileged to stay at a lovelier place.
Our own Government officials have
been almost as marvelous to us as
those of the Mexican government.
Dast week I told you how hospitable
these people had been to us m the
early stages of our visit; this hospi-
tality has increased in warmth at
every stage. We have been entertain-
ed by seven governors in as many
state capitols, and by officers in the
President’s cabinet here in Mexico.
It clearly demonstrates that these
people believe in the Good Neighbor
policy inaugurated by President
Roosevelt.
President Cardenas of Mexico is
absent from the capitol. He is in the
state of Yucatan, which is the most
southern Mexican state, working on
agrarian, or agricultural 1 problem's!
He sent us a warm telegram of wel-
come, then commissioned the Governor
of this Federal District to call on us
officially as his representative. Mrs.
Allred is visiting the President’s wife
today. Everywhere these 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 only result in
more business and better relations for
all of us.

less money, because Firestone

“The Tyler office of fhe Social
Security Board is prepared to give
prompt service to those who desire to
file claims for lump-sum payments,’’
Freeman said. One claim filed by a
Tyler man who had reached the age
of 65 was filed with the Tyler office
early in July. The award in this case

that only a few have been filed to
date probably is due, Freeman said,
to a general lack of knowledge of the
availability of these benefits among
these potentially eligible to receive
them.
Persons entitled to receive lump-
sum payments are (1) workers who
have been in employements covered
by the Social Security Act after
December 31, 1936, and have reached
the age of 65, or (2) estates of per-

East Texas farmers and 4-H club
boys are finding that quality poultry
makes the farm poultry flock a paying
proposition, according to reports from
county agricultural agents in that
section.
From 30 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 en his demonstra-
tion, and he has on hand 127 fine

was yesterday at the Department of
Communications. First, of course, a
nice luncheon; then young ladies who
worked in the department paraded
before us dressed in the colorful na-
tive cosumes of each of the 28 Mexi-

with musiy, songs and dances. It
was better than a professional show
since those who played the parts
actully came from the states they
