Schools in Erath. county having
one or more winning contestants
in the recent district league mee
at Breckenridge are asked to mail
immediately to the Empire-
Tribuns information as to the
names of the winning boys and
girls, contests entered, and places
won.
Neither F. C. Goodman, director
general of the county league, nor
Vernon Holley, secretary, has been
notified who the Erath county win-
ners in the district meet were,
and since they have not been re-
ported to this newspaper it has
been impossible to give this'mat-
ter Ha just publicity.
B. G. Loveless, of the Edna Hill
school, took a group of declama-
tion contestants to the meeting,
some of them winning places. Mr.
Loveless vblunteered this informs-
iton to the Empire-Tribune, im-
mediately afterward, but it was not
deemed advisable to print
list of winners without ha
Erath county winners Kited,
others who took contestants to
Breckenridge done the same thing,
a complete list could have been ob-
tained. At that time, however, it
was believed that all names would
be submitted to Director Goodman
er to Secretary HoUnr.
Since this has not been done,
teachers er pan*te of the winning
—»- are MaBoetsd to send

Information, the Empire-Tribune
herewith ex’ptwmee ft. thanks.
Two Missionaries
To Speak at Local
Baptist Church
Rev. and Mrs. Louis V. Hanna
of Nazareth, Palestine, mission-
aries under the direction of the
Southern Baptist Convention, will
speak at the First Baptist Church
next Sunday morning and evening,
May 1. Mr. Hanna will show a ser-
ies of pictures from the Holy Land
at the evening service. These will
be very interesting and instruc-
tive and should be seen by the peo-
ple generally who are interested
in conditions in Palestine at pre-
sent.
These missionaries have labored
for eight years at Nazareth, Pales-
tine, without a furlough and have
accomplished marvelous things at
their mission. Mr. Hanna is a
native Syrian, having been born
near the River Jordan. He was
educated at Howard Payne College
and the Southwestern Baptist
Theological Seminary at Fort
Worth. He is a naturalized Amer-
ican citizen and a man of high
culture and sterling worth. Mrs.
Hanna is a native Texan. Her
home is at Hearne, and she, too, is
a graduate of Howard Payne Col-
lege. Her work in Nazareth has
been outstanding as a teacher and
leader of women and children.
These missionaries have been sup-
ported, during their sojourn in
Palestine, by the First Baptist
church at Dalhart. They are spec-
ial friends of Rev and Mrs. L. D.
Mitchell. They are making their
home in Brownwood while on their
furlough during the next twelve
months.
The First Baptist Church cordi-
ally invites all friends of foreign
mission work to hear these out-
standing missionaries from Naza-
reth, Christ’s home town. The
pastor of First Baptist Church,
Rev. L. D. Mitchell, especially in-
vites the parents of Tarletcm Col-
leege students who are to be here
Sunday for Parents’ Day activi-
ties to attend the evening services
at this church.
H. D. Club Meets
Mrs, J. E. WMtefield.
“Do you know how to distin-
guish one material from another?”
asked Mrs. Lafe Smallwood when
the Lone Oak Home Demonstra-
tion Club met in the home of Mrs.
J. E. Whitefield Wednesday, April
IS. “By holding material to one’s
face is one way to distinguish wool
fabric from cotton,” she said, “and
to tell rayon from pure silk wash
the material and if it leaves the
water milky or with an odor like
varnish then it is not pure silk.”
Club members came early in the
day and quilted a quilt before the
regular meeting. Each brought a
covered dish.
The quilt will be sold to raise
funds for the club.
Members present at the meet-
ing were Mines. J. E. Brown, S. L.

Duffau 4-H Club Hears TaUc
On Transplanting Tomatoes
“Transplanting tomatoes from
the hot bed to Hie field should be
done as soon as possible after
danger from killing from frost is
over, and preferably" on a calm,
cloudy day,” stated Miss Grace
Cody, county home demonstration
agent, at the Duffau 4-H club
meeting at the Duffau school build-
ing Thursday, April 14.
"‘Several days before moving the
tomato plants from the hot bed
to the field, the cover of the bod
should be kept off most of the time
to harden the plants to weather
conditions of the field. Decreasing
the water supply so that the
plants are watered but once or
twice in three days also helps to
get the plants in condition for
planting in the field. They should
be watered thoroughly the day be
fore transplanting. If the plants
are to be staked and pruned, they
should be set in the field in rows
four feet apart and from 24 to 80
inches apart in the row. here no
pruning or staking is to be done,
the rows should be five to six feet
apart with plants 30 to 34 inches
apart in the row. In setting the
plants, pack the soil
around the roots, making
mound around the stem to support
it. If the weather is dry, water
the plant when set.”
Mary Talley, garden demonstra-
tor, and Ruby Ledbetter, ward-
robe demonstrator, gave interest-
ing reports of their work, accord-
