NEWSPAPER ANNIVERSARY
The Recorder editor thanks Mr.
Fred B. Robinson for the following
notice in the Waco Tribune-Herald
Sunday:
“The Fairfield Recorder, published
by Lee Kirgan, has the following an-
nouncement:
“The Recorder, the county paper
entered its fifty-eighth year last
week, and since it reminds us that
the present publisher has been on the
paper for the laBt 38 years, we feel
a little aged, but not dried up, as
'we tipped the scales at 130 when we
started on the job and have been
gaining every since."
.“Lee Krgan comes of old and hon-
ored newspaper stock, his father
having run a paper in Huntsville In
the early days of Texas, and later,
along the Cotton Belt Railway, be-
tween Waco and Tyler. His daughter,
Miss Sadie Kirgan, formerly attend-
ed Baylor at Waco, and has visited
Miss Decca Lamar West here on
several occasions. Although marri-
ed, she retains her maiden name
in writing newspaper articles,
which appear frequently. Fairfield,
for many years, was held back on
account of lack of a railroad, but
with good roads is now on much
traveled throughfares, and is a fine
little inland city. Continued success
to Editor Kirgan."

BELIEVE IT OR NOT
The Texas Outlook, state teachers’
magazine, is authority for this beBt
“Believe It Or Not” of the season;
A farmer hung his ves; on a fence
in his backyard. A calf chewed up
a pocket in the garment, in which
was a gold watch. Seven years later
the animal, a staid old milch cow
was butchered for a beef, and the
timepiece was found in such a pos-
ition between the lungs of the cow
that the respiration kept the stem-
winder wound up, and the watch had
lost only four minutes in the seven
years.—Scurry County Times.
If the above had been written
by Editor Robinson and printed in
The Jewett Messenger we would
believe it, and we don’t doubt that
Bro. Robinson can report even more
stranger things than this happening
in good old Leon county.

AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK
November 6-12 has been designat-
ed American Education Week. Thru-
out the nation feature articles,
plays, pageants, speeches, news
items editorials and posters will call
attention to our public education.
Despite our varied opinons on the
many aspects of the subject and re-
gardless of the many needed im-
provements in our school program,
the public school continues to be
governmen’t greatest guarantee.
The time honored three ‘‘R’s’’,
readin’, Yitin’, and ‘rlthmetic, are
not .sufficient in our complex civ-
ilization. To them must be added the
three “C’s”, character, culture and
citizenship.
Our education needs to be made
American and our America needs to
be educated. American education is
a public necessity.

It seems our neighbor town Oak-
wood is setting the prettiest w'hen
it comes to oil. Although they call it
the Palestine field, the Anderson
County oil well is some twelve or
thirteen miles from Palestine and
only five miles from Oakwood. And
we hope some of those big loafers
like Louis Yarbrough, Jeff Rose,
Kit Holley, Editor Perry and a few
others will get .so greasy with oil
that they won't know what to do
with their money.
.^s Qthere See It,

There’s nothing the matter with
NBA—it's clicking right along. The
trouble is with the people who are
too impatient. Some of them got
tile idea that the day after the
blunket code went into effect every-
body would have plenty of money
It's going to take time to get out,
so let's us be patient and continue
to cooperate with the administration.
As President Roosevelt said in his
speech Sunday night, "we are head-
ed in the right direction and we are
on our way.”—(Jrapeland Messenger.

A confidence man worked Groes-
beck to a fare-u-well last Saturday.
He was a hawker of razors, dinner
sets, silverware, fountain pens, wat-
ches and various and sundry other
merchandise, In fact everything that
the public could be duped into buy-
ing. We don’t know how true It is
but we understand he even tried to
sell the courthouse. Be it as it may,
this fellow perched himself on the
corner across from Wolverton Drug
and robbed the people out of more
money in thirty minutes than any
business house in town had made
in profit for the entire week. Fifty
ecnt watches were sold for ten dol- i
lars, ten cent razors were sold for
two dollars. All told the man carried
about one hundred and sixty-five dol-
lars and left about two-bits worth
of bogus merchadise. The man was
pretending to give something for
nothing. Always beware of the fel-
low who gives something for noth-
ing, especially if he is a stranger
And a mighty good idea is not to
buy anything unless you need it, and
when you do need it, buy it from
somebody you know. There is a
whole flock of local business men
who would like to get acquainted
with you.—Groesbeck Journal.
Things are happening so thick and
fast in this nation that we are won-
dering what will be next. Experi-
ments of very type and character
are being tried out by the govern-
ment, yet we see little change in
conditions. Maybe It will all come
out in the washing.-—Franklin Fav-
orite.

Definite news of the runaway
accident at Snyder, Wednesday oi
last week, was received here Sat-
urday night. Mrs. Eubank, wife ol
Co. Treas. Lee Eubank, and daugh-
ter. Miss Lizzie, were In the buggy
when the big black horse that was
.shipped from here, became scared
at a little Mexican burro, and ran
away throwing them out, Mrs. Eu-
bank fulling on the palings in front
of her home; killing her almost
instantly and mangling her head
and body badly. One of Miss Lizzie’s
arms was broken and she was in-
jured about the face, and has been
quite ill but will recover. Mr. Eu-
bank will return to Fairfield as
soon as he can leave his daughter.
His wife was burled before he ar-
rived at Snyder.
The time Is not far distant when
the man who .sells Freestone county
land at a sacrifice. In order to move,
will regret it. This is not a weather
prediction.
For the third time, Wm. J. Bryan
has gone down in defeat in the race
for the highest elective office in
the world. Three times his match-
less ability and great character have
secured him the nomination for the
Presidency by his party, and, though
defeated, Bryan'.s name will go
down in history as one of the coun-
try’s greatest men. We sorrow be-
cause Mr. Bryan's great ambition Is
thwarted and he cannot be president.
H. R. Shanks, of Shanks, was here
Monday.
Carter Sessions of Mexia was in
the city Monday.
John Bonner was here from
Steward Mill Monday.

Trench silos are cheap to build
cheap to fill, .save all the feed and
aTe easy to get feed out of, says the
county agent of Jim Wells county
in calling attention to the 51 silos
in use in his county, of which 25
are trench.
Making sorghum syrup for sale
proved profitable for Ben Hubbert
who ran the only syrup mill in
Shackelford county this year. From
three irrigated acres he made 615
gallons which .sold readily at 60 eta.
ier gallon. It was his first year and
the overhead wm big but in the long
run it vlil be a good proposition, the
county agent says.
Proper storage space is one of the
big secrets in dressing well and mak.
ing clothes last a long time. This
.same point is one of the features
of the clothing work of home dem-
onstration agents. It is so simple it’s
apt to be overlooked, they say. The
cost of a good clothes closet is
negligible. A Parker county woman
has just reported a good one 4 by
12 feet fixed up for twelve cents.
Cotton made $3 more per acre
on terraced land planted on the
two-and-skip-one plan than in solid
cotton on unterraced land, B. N.
Jackson of Limestone County says.
Because of this demonstration he
plans to terrace all his farm this
winter, the county agent reports.

A BOOSTER CARO
FOR FREE8TONE COUNTY
The House
of the People
rpHE American common school
is the expression of a
mighty faith. It has grown up
out of need and aspiration. It
is the bulwark of these demo-
cratic ideals and rights for
which, mankind has sacrificed
and suffered thruout the ages.
It is the hope of a better to-
morrow. The common school
is the house of the people.
During American Education
Week let all the people gather
as of old in the neighborhood
school. Lot them renew their
faith in themselves and in their
children. Let them discuss their
problems and determine how
their school may be made bet-
ter. Let .them return .to the
house of the people and know
that thru this their own house,
they may again bring order
and promise and hope to the
Republic.
JESSIE GRAY, President
National Education Association
Kirven, Oct. 30, 1933.
To the Chamber of Commerce in
Freestone County, and especially
to the oil fraternity:
Young man come to Freestone
County where the owls hoot at the
whipperwill’s call; were the wildcat
screams as he is scenting for oil;
where you can brew a brew that
wilt make you feel richer than
them all, if you don’t get caught
with the wildcat’s oil.
