What a wonderful morning( Tues-
day) with the sun shining in all its
glory. This is one time we should
all give thanks for open weather.
Most everyone who travels, go horse-
backk or in a wagon.
Flu is one of the principal topics
of convei’sation in and around Me-
gargel. There are sick folks in
many homes. We might mention
one in (Clarence Lane’s home, two
in West Arnold’s home and four in
W. T. Graham’s home.
D. L. Haralson is ever looking on
the sunny side of things. Just yes-
terday we heard him say he never
got so many things to eat out of
the garden before during the win-
ter months.
We notice Mr. McGregor, of Kil-
gore, is visiting in the, home of J.
T. Allen.
Bob Duboise was a shopper in
Megargel Monday.
John Lane and Cotton Shawver
stayed away from town as long as
possible, so yesterday they drove to
town in the rain.
Bennie Fichte has gotten to be
one of our latest sheiks.
J. O. Johnson was in town Sat-
urday after some eats. Says he is
making his car do boat service.
We saw Walter Dilbeck in Me-
gargel last week with a truck load
of wheat, swapping for flour and
bran. Said he was getting for a
rainy day. I was glad to shake his
hand and ask about the folks back
home.

Farm, wives and girls on more
than 30,000 Texas farms in 119
counties produced $3,876,595 worth
of food, clothing and home furnish-
ing products according to home dem-
onstration standards in 1930. Can-
ning and food preservation lead the
list with a total valuation of $1,-
575,415; followed by gardening
$609,600; clothing constructed $574,-
810; poultry products $549,293;
dairy products $460,423; home fur-
nishings $95,470, and rugs $13,584.
There are 21,161 women working
in 1225 home demonstration clubs
and 14,170 4-!H club girls in 1115
clubs. Each of these individuals
contributed an average gross total
of $110 to the family income.- Not
all of this is profit of course, but
practically all of it is production,
for which county home demonstra-
tion agents are responsible either
through fostering new home activ-
ities or increasing the profits from
those already under way.
In point of numbers of women
participating in the various activi-
ties, poultry production led the way
with 13,897 demonstrators and co-
operators, after which are listed gar-
dening, 4-H pantries, living room im-
provement, daii-ying, clothing, fruit
growing and home industries.
One of the chief values of home
demonstration work according to
the women themselves, besides the
actual money values produced, is
the stimulation given to achieving
better living conditions and raising
the standards of farm life. It is
quite frequently found that demon-
strations in improving the home as
a place to live react upon the entire
household as a spur to increase the
farm income.—Ex.
Thre North Ward Parent-Teacher
Association met in regular session j
on Wednesday, February 17th. The
meeting was opened by the singing
of ‘‘America,” followed by the Lord’s
prayer repeated in unison.
Miss Effie Tucker gave a report
of the progress being made by the
Camp Fire Girls, discussing the head
bands and bead designs now being
constructed. The girls are very en-
thusiasti cand are thoroughly enjoy-
ing their new organization. Miss
Edith Hudson is guardian, with Miss
Tucker as assistant guardian.
Mrs. Charles Wolverton gave a
brief and interesting talk on the
National Birthday of the P.-T. A.,
stressing the fact that it was organ-
ized 35 years ago at Washington, D.
C., the founders being Mesdames
Theodore W. Birney and Phoebe
Hearst.
A uet, ‘(Hallowe'en Time,” was
rendered by Misses Audrey Rogers
and Jean Russell, the number being
enthusiastically received. The chair-

Running true to form the Olney
Cubs waded through all district
competition, but not with all the
ease in the world. (Crowell won the
district 3 championship so it looks
a renewed fight between the Cubs
and the Wildcats. Come out and
watch the Cubs down Mr. Middleton
Todd and any other Wildcat. The
first game will be here Wednesday
night.
The girls’ volley ball team put up
a brilliant fight to the very finish,
but Wichita Falls won by a close
score. Surely the Wichita Falls girls
were playing over their heads.
There is one other team in this
team. The boys can play volley ball
as well as basket ball. Just ask
Coach Dalton.
From the looks of the detention
hall the flu epidemic is over and
every one is ready to attend that
class.

bers of the Fax-niers Co-op Society

All faxmexs that are interested in Satux’day evening, February 20
the Co-op work as it is being carried was spent in an active manner by
quite a few of the Scouts. A greater
portion of the tinxe was spent at
the Fire Hall learning as much as
possible about firemansbip and get-
ting off wox'k leading to nxexit
badges.
Soixxe of the boys are handicapped
from becoming First Class Scouts by
the fact that they caxxnot swim and
cannot learn because of the cold
weather. Two hour-s each day will
be devoted to the teaching of swim-
ming at Diversion Dam. It is hoped
that not a Scout will return not
knowing how to swim.
^district that can beat the Cardinals
nouneed a meeting to be held at anc^ that is the boys basket ball
7:30 p. m. Wednesday, February 25,
at the home of Mrs. Norman Gold-
smith.
The principal talk of the day was
made by Miss Mildred Creekmore,
who presented in unusually enter-
taining and interesting manner the
subject, “Modern Education.” She
stressed the creative end of educa-
tion, wherein the child might train
himself to express an interesting
personality through the lxxediums of
music, ax’t and other forms of edu-
cation, rather than to be merely a
vehicle for absox’bing book route.
Miss Tillie Smith of the fourth
grade was awarded the $2.50 prize
for having the greatest number of
mothers of pupils present at the
meeting.
Prior to the meeting, the execu-
tive boax'd lxxet to appoint a nomi-
nating committee to draw up the

This slate will be presented at one
of the March meetings.

sponsor the District One Act Play
contest in Olney this yeax\ It means
lots of wox'k for everyone concerned
but evexyone seems willing to do
his pax’t. The Junior Chamber of
Commerce is helping put the con-
test over. Several committees were
appointed and everyone has started
to wox'k. The play and cast have
not been selected, but we’re sure
everyone will enjoy it.

Governor Sterling has certainly
had his share of “trials” and tribu-
lations during his term in office.
It looks like everything the governor
does on his own hook gets him in
“dutch,” and everything the legis-
lature dqes gets him in “dutcher.”
Mr-. Stexiing, pex'haps has not made
an evniable record as governor, so
far as the people are concerne
but the lawyers and judges of th’
state can feel that they have been
honored. Almos tevery actrto which
the govei'nor affixed his signature
has been before some state or fed-
eral tribunal. Probably the governor
would have saved the state much
time and money if he would have
signed each law as “optional,” and
with a proviso that it was not to
be enforced if anyone objected to
its purpose.

Easy Pleasant Way
TO LOSE FAT
_ 0
How would you like to safely and
harmlessly lose 15 pounds of fat in
a month and at the same time in-
crease your enex'gy and impi’ove
your health?
How would you like to lose your
double chin and your too prominent
hips and abdomen and at the same
time make your skin so clean and
clear that it will compel admii'ation?
Get on the scales today and see
how much you weigh—then get a
bottle of Kruschen Salts that costs
next to nothing and which will last
you 4 weeks. iTake one half tea-
spoonful in a glass of hot water
in the moi'ning—cut down on pastry
and fatty meats—go light on po-
tatoes, butter-, cream alnd sugar—
and when you have finished the con-
tents of this first bottle weigh your-
self again.
After that you’ll want to walk
around and say to your friends,
“One bottle of Kruschen Salts is
worth one hundx-ed dollai's of any
fat person’s money.”
But refuse imitations—safeguard
your health—you lost fat SAFELY
with Kruschen.
Leading druggists America over
sell Kruschen Saits.
The Father and Son banquet ad
