MAKING GOOD

ROAD BUILDING
. WORK DOUBLES
. THAT IN 1929
Washington, D. C., May 12.—High-
way construction projects undertak-
en in the United States during the
first quarter of 1930 represent an
expenditure of more than 100 per
cent in excess of that which was be-
gun during the same period last
year. Secretary Lamont, who has
corresponded with the Governors of
thirty-five States in conducting a
commerce department inquiry into
the, subject, released the estimate
Sunday, along with a detailed report
of the accomplishment of various
States in the road building expansion.
“The figures, which cover almost
75 per cent of the country, show con-
tracts awarded for construction dur-
FAIN ACROSS BACK
Lady Who Took Cardui Say*
“It Made All the Difference
In My Health.”
Poplar Bluff, Mo.—“For a long
time I suffered with pains right
across my back,” writes Mrs. F. M.
Boatwright, of 831 Park Avenue,
this city.
“I had nervous headache and
sometimes I could not sleep.
“When I began to take Cardui I
began to feel better. I was com-
plaining to a friend how bad I felt.
She had been taking Cardui and
she told me to try it, so I did. Be-
fore that, I just could not relax, and
I got very little rest at night.
“I took Cardui for several months
and it made all the difference in
the world in my health. I felt
stronger and better than I had in
many a year.
“I recommend Cardui to other
women when they suffer from weak-
ness and bad health.”
Thousands of other women have
taken Cardui to help them to build
up their health. The good reports
which have been received, telling of
the experience of others, should en-
courage you to tiy Cardui, for your
troubles.
Cardui is a purely vegetable rem-
edy, and contains nothing harmful
or injurious. It may be safely taken
by women of all ages.

ing the first quarter of this year val-
ued at $114,101,383,” the secretary
said, “against $50,910,133 for the
corresponding period last year a
net increase of slightly over 124
per cent for the group of States
which have reported so far.
“The greatest relative increases
are shown in Ohio and Idaho. In the
former State the awards for the first
three months of this year were ap-
proximately eleven times greater
than the corresponding quarter a
year ago,, while Idaho shows increas-
ed awards over ninety times larger
than last year.
Pennyslvania Leader.
“Pennsylvania with contracts
awarded valued at $15,465,853 for
the first quarter of 1930 against $2,-
282,813 for the same period of 1929,
has the greatest dollar value. This
is an increase of 577 per cent.
“Contracts for highway construc-
tion in New Hampshire during the
first quarter of this year increased
755 per cent, Washington 650 per
cent and Colorado 455 per cent.
“Other substantial incerases were
Oregon 230 per cent, Maryland 225
per cent, Iowa 207 per cent, Wiscon-
sin 202 per cent, California 181 per
cent, Indiana 165 per cent, North
Carolina 155 per cent, Missouri 144
per cent, Florida 109 per cent and
Virginia 100 per cent.
“Among the various States which
registered smaller increases are
Nevada 80 per cent, Kansas 68.1
per cent, Connecticut 56.5 per cent,
Texas 33 per cent, New Jersey 31.8
per cent, New York 31.2 per cent,
Arizona 25.8 per cent, South Caro-
lina 23.8 per cent, Utah 22 per cent
and Minneso'ta 18.6 per cent.
“Decreases over last year were re-
ported for Kentucky which declined
96 per cent, Michigan 55 per cent,
Delaware 40 per cent, Montana ap-
proximately 32 per cent and Arkansas
IV2 per cent.”
The great increase in early season
highway construction is a matter of
considerable national importance, in
the opinion of Secretary Lamont. Im-
proved highways mean a material
contribution to the stabilization of
business conditions of the present and
the future, and the large volume of
early awards may be especially sig-
nificant in connection with the prob-
lem of spreading employment
throughout the year. It is estimated
that nearly 50 cents of each dollar
spent for highway building and
maintenance is paid for the labor
involved.

NOTICE OF CREDITORS
The Daily Childress Index has a
splendid story of the success of an
old Hopkins county boy, along with
his picture on the front page, that
will be read with interest by many
friends of himself and family in
Hopkins county. The Childress paper-
calls him A. G. Hargrave but he is
better known here as Alvin Har-
grave, son of the late Jap Hargrave,
than whom Hopkins county never-
had a finer citizen or man. Mrs.
Hargrave is also of one of Hopkins
county’s best families, being a Min-
ter before her marriage.
The article:
Head of Childress’ Modern $70,000
Laundry Drove “Wagon” 3 Years.
Washing boilers for three months
for the Fort Worth and Denver Rail-
way touched off with three years as
driver of a “laundry wagon” and A.
G. Hargrave went into the laundry
business on his own “hook” here in
1908 to start a remarkable period of
growth which today finds him head
of one of the most modern and up-
to-date laundries in this section.
Mr. Hargrave grew up on a farm
in Hopkins county, moving to Chil-
dress in 1906. Following his railroad
experience he accepted a position
with Tom Egerton as laundryman,
his chief duties being collecting and
delivering the bundles. In 1908 Mr.
Hargrave bought an interest in the
business. Some time later he and his
mother purchased the entire interest,
and some years ago Mr. Hargrave
bought his mother’s interest, becom
ing sole owner of Childress’ modern
laundry.
Growth Steady.
In 1908 the business was valued at
$4,500. Today it is valued at approx
imately $70,000. One piece of ma-
chinery recently installed cost more
money than the entire investment in
1908.
The growth has been steady, Mr.
Hargrave gradually acquiring more
interest in the business and the con-
cern growing and prospering as the
city grew and prospered.
The climax of his business venture
came a few weeks ago when he cel-
ebrated the formal opening of his
new $70,000 laundry plant. Hun-
dreds of persons passed through his
building, examined his entire plant
and went away proclaiming it a
credit to any city of double the size
of Childress.
Active Community Worker.
The cares of business have not
stood in the way of Mr. Hargrave’s
service to his community. He has
been most active in the social, relig-
ious, and business life of Childress.
A charter member of the Rotary
club, a member of the board of stew-
ards of the First Methodist church,
member of both thd chamber of com
merce and board of city develop-
ment, member of the board of edu-
cation for the Childress independent
school district and prominent in Ma-
sonic circles. Mr. Hargrave has con-
tributed his part in the onward prog-
ress of his home town. He is a mem-
ber of the boys’ work committee,
representing- the Rotary club; a
member of the board of directors of
the Y. M. C. A., and holds his Scot
tish Rite membership in the Masonic
order at Dallas, and his Shrine mem-
bership at Wichita Falls. He is a
member of all branches of the local
order.
In naming citizens who are prom-
inent factors in the growth and pros-
perity of Childress and Childress
county the list would be incomplete
without the name of A. G. Hargrave.
Editor’s note: This is the second of
a series of articles on local citizens
who have put their shoulders to the
wheel, forgotten personal gain and
contributed unselfishly to the growth
of their community.
that my chances for “farm relief”
is ten times better with the old dairy
cow than it is with the politishuns and
that she is apt to do more to remedy
my troubles than I am ever very apt
to get by any laws that the politi-
shuns will ever pass for there ain’t
no descat of “bull” or four-flushin
about an old milkcow and you can de
pend on her makin just as good as
you give her a chance to do. She
may not give a lot of milk but she
won’t make a lot of platform prom
ises to get your favors and then go
back in ’em. Whatever amount of
milk she gives whether it is much or
little you can feel sure she is honest
and square and is givin you ever drop
she can under the circumstances.
The cow is one of man’s best
friends and is both doctor and peace
maker for her products of milk and
butter and cream and beef is the
world’s food and is used for-
ever body from invalids to prize fight-
ers. Where folks uses lots of dairy
products there is peace and harmony
and fellership for in this sort of
community the folks is healthy and
feelin good and besides when a feller
is full of butter milk and sweet po-
tatoes and butter and turnip greens
he is in love with the whole world
and is in no dispozition or condition
to want to fuss or fight with anybody.
If there was some way to fill up ever
body on both sides with milk and
sweet potatoes for a few days when
ever 2 nations falls out and wants
to fight. I believe the truble would
most always soon blow over.
There ain’t but one class of folks
that, outsides the grocery store man
and credit man, could be very apt
to be hurt by keepin a few good cows
on ever farm and that is the doctors
tor old Doctor Ezum says milk is the
best medicine of all and beats the
doctors out of lots of case they
would otherwize get, so the cow is
good “farm relief” and a good peace
maker for the community and a good
doctor and is the best one you get

bank.
but I have found that a automobeel
is like a baby—-everything happens
to it the second summer, and I need
the cows and chickens to help keep it
in running order while I am livin’
high at the same time.
Old Bungle is the sort that wants
a good livin’ without working for it.
He thinks it pays to be honest but it
don’t pay enuff to suit him.
Minnie is in favor of the dairy
idear, along with our farmin’ for she
says she had a lot rather milk cows
in the shade than to hoe and pick
cotton in the sun and says it don’t
make no extra labor on her for she
has always had to work all the time
anyway ever since she has been livin’
with me. We have found it also
means more days in school for the
kids. Yours,

GOWS ALL RIGHT
BUT INTERFERE
WITH FISHING
The lame duck session of congress
is never so lame that it can’t hobble
around once in two years.—Detroit
Free Press.
Dear Mister Editor:
About two years ago, when the bot-
tom fell out of the cotton market and
all we cotton farmers and cotton
bankers almost went busted I got me
2 good cows on the advice of Will B.
Wize and Moore Kash, our two bank-
ers, and have now increased the
bunch to five head and after this ex-
perience and watchin my neighbor,
Roe Tate who has been keepin a few
cows all along while I and old Bill
Bungle and Owen Moore and a lot
of my nabors has been goin broke
ever year on all cotton and seein the
suckcess of Will Prosper, who is the
best dairyman in our country, I have
fully decided that the cow trail leads
to the Road to Prosperity and when
too much cotton and hard luck has
got a feller down the best route out
is through the cow lot with a few
hogs and chickens as helpers.
I have done fully made up my mind
With more and keener competis-
hum in the cotton raisin bizness from
year to year it is soon going to reach
he point where ■ the farmer that
sticks to cotton alone for his support
and suckcess is going to be like the
mother that she had made up hex-
mind she couldn’t marry the young
man who had been going with her be-
muze he was an athlete and didn’t
believe that there was any hell, but
the wize mother, not one bit alarmed
replied, “Go right ahead and marry
him daughter, and the two of us to-
gether will convince him he is rong.”
And the feller who thinks he can
make a go of it on all cotton must
soon be convinced he is all rong if
xe has not already desided that way
becauze that sort of a sistem of
farmin’ keeps a man in the kondi
tion the goat was that was being sent
some place by express and the nig-
ger porter went in to the express
agent with a trubbled look on his
face and says “Boss, what is we
gwine to do about dat billy goat?
He’s done et up whare he’s gwine.”
So it is with most cotton farmers.
They have used up the cotton crop
in most cases long before it is made
and that is the thing we must stop
and that is why I am for some real
producin’ cows on ever farm.
Rite now there is a lot of talk and
stuff in the paper about the “wet”
and “dry” question which I don’t
know much about know away as I
don’t find time out of my crop to
pay attention or know much about
politicks, but as a general rule, all
other things bein equal, I am a “dry”
but there is one “dry” I am always
against and that is “dry” cows and
farms that ain’t got know kind of
cows on ’em except dry ones.
I am a strong beleever in the K.
K. K., which is the KREAM KAN
KEEPERS, for they, with plenty of
dairy products, when we got enouff
cows will keep the South prosperous
and happy and safe for demockracy.
I have just been thinkin’ that in
families where a cow or two is kept
and there is plenty of milk and but-
ter for food and cookin’ you don’t
ever hear the folks declai-in’ in favox-
of “companionate marriage” and
wantin’ to adopt any foolishness like
that but is satisfied with the old
fashun American home and stile of
getting married when they first start
in keepin’ house and of stayin’ mar-
x-ied as long as they can.
It’s mity hard for a feller to be
fussy and dissatisfied rvith a table
full of milk and butter and eggs and
all the other good things that can be
made from those things and the fel-
ler that has made these in view gen
erally feel “companionate” enuff to
get tied up for better or worse rite
to start with.
Of course, there is some that ain’t
goin’ to take to this dairy bisness or
divex-sified or safe farmin’ idear now
or later on for it would interfear with
their fishin’ and runnin’ about and
visitin’ aroun’ and loafin’ in general
and puttin’ in about 5 months in each
year in real work.
Old Bungle and Owen Moore and
Polk A. Long is that sort and wants
to spend half the year in their cars
Port Arthur, Texas, May 11.—
More than 2,000 delegates to the
East Texas Chamber of Commerce
fourth annual convention arrived
here Sunday morning and afternoon
and were ready for the opening ses-
sion Monday morning. At least 3,000
more were expected late Sunday
night and early Monday, among them
Gov. Dan Moody and Arthur M.
Hyde, secretary of agriculture. This
year’s convention marks the first
time a member of any Cabinet has
attended one of the regional meet-
ings.
Marlin appeared almost certain
Sunday to be chosen as the site of
the 1931 convention. Longview, head-
quarters of the organization, is the
only other city in the race as a re-
sult of Paris withdrawing her bid
several days ago. Longview is not ex-
pected to push her claims, sentiment
of early delegates indicated. No hint
as to a new president to succeed
Hayne Nelm of Groveton has been
dropped.
After attending religious services
in the American Legion hall on the
shores of Lake Sabine Sunday morn-
ing, delegates spent the afternoon
inspecting the Gulf of Texas Com-
pany refineries. Automobile races
and a bathing revue at the beach
were canceled because of heavy rains
and high winds that resulted in an
unusually high tide.
Strong opposition was voiced in
caucuses Sunday afternoon to the
move to make the annual convention
a conference instead of a convention
with the idea of minimizing the gross
delegations. Attendance would be
cut from the several thousand each
year to possible 1,500, thus afford-
ing some of the smaller towns in the
area an opportunity to entertain the
organizaton ann-ual get-together.
Those in favor of the move also point
out a great savng n cost of holdng
the annual rneetng.
