certed educational program un-
der the leadership of the county
agent in launching the 1950

GUMMO MARX
VISITS HEN
Gumrao Marx, brother and
business manager, of the
famed Marx Brothers, was reg-
istered at the Cottle Hotel, the
first of the week.
Gummo, Chico, Harpo, Grou-
cho and Zeppo Marx, recently
became members of the spec-
ial partners in the Stekoll Oil
and Associates, Ltd., referring
to holdings in King and Cot-
tle Counties.
Gummo, although not an
actor, definitely has a touch
of the famous Marx Brothers
style. When Prattler asked him
how long he was going to be
in Paducah, he quipped back
at us. “How long you going
to be here?—then without
letting up, said:- “Oh, yes,
you're the one who is asking
the questions."
Continuing Gummo said:
“I'm going to stay in Paducah
until we find oil", but in the
next breath said:-“When does
a plane leave Dallas for Bever-
ly Hills, California?"
Gummo, in making a trip,
to the D. E. Richards No. 1,
6,000 ft. wildcat two miles
south of the Cottle County line,
was caught in the blinding
dust storm late Tuesday,
When we asked. him how he
liked the rain, he remarked:
“I didn't see any". “Oh, yes,"
we replied, “that was a West
Texas rain." Two things Gum-
mo did not like about Texas,
the sand and the fact he could
not find any sport news about
his baseball team, the Holly-
wood Stars.
Gummo, attired in a sport
shirt and levis remarked he
was going to buy the biggest
hat in town, if he struck
oil; however he stated,
whether he hit or not in the
first venture he was* definitely
going to do some more “wild-
catting" in Cottle County.
He made a hit with the
drilling crew down at the
well, and they “sort of turned
things over to him for a
while."

IMPROVING
J. H. Townley who has been
receiving treatment in a Fort
Worth hospital for the past sev-
eral weeks, is reported to be
improved.
Mr. and Mrs. Murray A. Shep-
pard, Managers of the Cottle
Hotel for the past year will
leave this week-end for Amar-
illo, Texas to make their home.
The Sheppards came to Padu-
cah in April 1949, and not only
made an enviable record as
managers, but in turn made a
host of friends who reluctantly
give them up. Both Mr. and
Mrs. Sheppard have been very
active, and wide awake Paducah
citizens and their presence will
be greatly missed. Especially
are we going to miss our roving
reporter, “Shep”, who many,
many times gave us tips, which
led to real news stories. “Shep’*
threatened at one time to start
his own newspaper “The Guth-
rie Bugle” and stated his slogan
would be “we print everything
A1 Hinds won’t print”. May we
close in saying “Goodbye Mr.
and Mrs. Sheppard” and we wish
for you the best of everything.
—o——
We can quit talking and
guessing about when it’s going
to rain, as Arch Dupriest, Mana-
ger of the West Texas Utilities
Company, states it’s going to
rain either Friday or Saturday,
April 14-15. — And by the way
Arch says this is authentic —
no guess work about it.

Since the taking of the big
17th Decennial Census is in full
swing, and since we are “cen-
sus-minded”—did you know that
in many countries the taking
of the census is a public duty
combined with the spirit of a
national holiday? You see the
head of each household con-
siders it a solemn duty to go
to government centers, and
there supply the information
specified by law.
—o—
In Turkey, people are required
to stay at home on Census day
until the enumerator calls.
America has always approached
the census in another way.
Every effort is made to avoid
regimentation or unnecessary in-
terference with daily lives. In-
stead, the Census taker makes
a house-to-house canvas to ob-
tain the necessary information,
with as little inconvenience to
you as possible. The system of
self-enumeration by farmers is
being employed by the Census
Bureau for the farmers conven-
ience. If the farmer has his agri-
culture questionnaire filled in
when the census enumerator
calls, he will save himself time
and trouble by having to stop
work or come in from fielcfs
to give the enumerator the in-
formation he must have.
—o—
I had a smile—
I gave my smile away;
The milkman and the postman
Enjoyed it every day.
I took it to the shop,
I had it on the street.
I gave it without thinking
To all I chanced to meet.
I gave my smile away
As thoughtless as could be,
And every time I gave it,
My smile came back to me.
—Julius Henry Cohen.
—o—
The story of an escaped luna-
tic occupied most of page one
of the newspaper and the small
boy read every word avidly.
Turning to his father after he
had concluded the story he ask-
ed, “Daddy, how do they catch
lunatics?” His father, who had
been busily writing out checks
for the monthly bills, replied,
“Oh, they use funny little hats,
perfume, jewelry, and so many
other little things like that. He
ducked just in time to miss a
platter, as it came sailing out
of the kitchen.
CENSUS TAKING
IS UNDERWAY
Enumeration of all persons,
household and farming opera-
tions, began in Cottle County,
Saturday, April 1.
This is the first population
census since 1940, and the first
agricultural census since 1945.
Full cooperation is needed from
all, in order to finish this gigan-
tic task in the allotted time, Mrs.
Achsah Dugger, Crew Leader,
said.
Farmers who have not filled
their agriculture questionnaires
are asked to do so, and, if they
have not received question-
naires through the mail, they
may pick them up at the Coun-
ty Judge’s office, Post Office, or
from one of the enumerators in
those districts:
Lucille Mints, east of Dun-
lap; Lila Whitener, west of Dun-
lap and Paducah; Nora Tanna-
hill, Swearingen; Eula James,
Chalk area; Lois Sherman, Del-
win area; Thelma Roth well,
Cee Vee area.
