There they stand. An American soldier who has made his sacrifice for his country; and a little boy.
On the eve of the Security Conference,, they gaze out toward San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, a
gateway, perhaps, to world peace forever. If success crowns the efforts of the conferees, the soldier’s
sacrifice will not have been in vain, and the little boy will never have to march off to another war.

ter from Pfc. Louis Williford,

Dear Friends: Will answer
your letter after so long a time,
at; I have a few minutes.
How have all of you been late-
ly? I am fine; I hope this finds
all of you in the best of health
arid spirits.
I want to send all my sympathy
to Dollie Ree and all her family
because of €. L.’s death. Not on-
ly h&r losing her husband, but me
losing one of my best friends. I
say may God bless each of them.
I have been reading in the pa-
per where you have been having-
plenty of rain at home. I sure
hope it has ceased by now.
How are Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes?
Swell I hope. What is old Jack
Turner doing? In fact, say hello
to them all.
Ferd, I guess all of you are
still in. the dairy business.
Boy, you were sure lucky get-
ting out of this. You remember
you and I left the same day. Been
a long time hasn’t it?
Do you ever hear from Claud
Petty? I think he is in Belgium;
anyway he was the last time I
heard from him.
Sure was a shock about the
President’s death.
I hope to see this thing through
but one never knows. Will be
great to get back where I start-
ed from, and if it isn’t soon I
think I will go nuts.
Well, I have got to be on my
way, so until again, I will say so
long. As ever, a friend, Shorty.

“I find Brabham cowpeas to
be worth as much as 150 pounds
of 4-12-4 fertilizer per acre,”
says Roy Gamblin, selretary of
the Hopkins-Rains-Wood Soil
Conservation District. “I have
ben growing a good many acres
of cowpeas for a number of years
and for that reason thought it
cnnecessary to inoculate the seed.
As an experiment I tried inocu-
lating one row of peas planted be-
tween corn and not inoculating
the next row. For fear I would
not be able to tell the difference,
I set up stakes at the end of the
inoculated rows. Three weeks
later the stakes were not neces-
sary. The inoculated peas made
fully 50 per cent more growth
and furnished that much more
grazing than did those I did not
inoculate. I always inoculate
cowpeas now,” continued Gamb-
lin.
Gamblin recommends Brabham
or Iron cowpeas over all others
because they are wilt and nemat-
ode resistant and makes more
growth for pasture and soil im-
provement.
W. 0. Simpson of the Nelta
Conservation Group has phosphat-
ed and overseeded two acres of
Bermuda grass with Korean les-
pedeza for hay production.
Howard Hicks has applied 40
sacks of phosphate to 10 acres
of land in preparation to plant-
ing Sericea lespedeza for mead-
ow.
L. C. Collins reports that Aus-
trian Winter peas on his farm
near Nelta have really protected
the soil against erosion -as well
as furnish much heeded organic
matter that will be turned under
in the near future.
M. D. Sewell of the Beckham
community reports that the Buf-
falo grass that he recently plant-
ed is up to a good stand.
Buffalo grass is the grass that
old-timers call Mesquite.
The meeting of the aYntis Con
servation Group scheduled for
April 27, will be held on that
date at 1:30 p. m. at the court-
house in Yantis.
SGT, GRADY RICHEY
BACK IN STATES
Mr. and Mrs. J. O. Richey of
Como, have received the follow-
ing letter from their son, Sgt.
Grady Richey, Iwo Jima veteran,
who has been returned to the
States for medical treatment:
Dear Mother and Dad: Will
drop you a few lines of good
news. This leaves me feeling
fine and better than that, I am in
San Francisco now. Got here
this morning, but I won’t stay
here long, because this is just a
receiving station and maybe I
will get to go to Corpus Christ!
from here and they are sending
a lot of the boys to the Naval
Hospital nearest home, and Cor-
pus would he where they would
send me.
Mother, I would have sent a tel-
egram, but I knew you didn’t like
to get them, so I didn’t send it.
I will be coming home in a
month or so I think. Tell the
hoys and dad I said hello, and I
think of all of you nearly all the
-time. i
You probably wonder how bad-
ly I am hurt. I still have two
arms and two legs, in perfect
shape, and I was on Iwo Jima,
too. W-ell, Mother, I hope this
is good news although it don’t
seem like it ie real.—Much love,
Grady.
PFG, JAMES HAST
M ANY HOSPITAf
Mrs. Jim Hart of Como has
received the following letter
from her son, Pfc. James Hart,
who was wounded in Germany on
December 9. He was still in an
army hospital on March 26:
Hello Mom: How does these few
lines find you? As for me, I am
doing fine and enjoying life and
hope you are the same. I am
down at the Red Cross writing
this letter. There is most any
kind of a game here that anyone
would want to play.
The Red Cross is sure doing
a wsell job over here.
Mom, you asked me how I wa3
hurt. I was in a house with my
machine g-un in a window and the
Jerries were spraying the house
with machine guns and every-
thing they had. I walked over to
a hole that was in the wall and a
Jerry’s gun got me in the foot.
It felt like a freight train had
hit tie, I had a million wonders
that night before I got hit. You
see it was Saturday night and I
was wondering how long I was
going to last, and what every-
body was doing back home. I
guess everybody was going to
towrn and to the shows. I don’t
guess anyone back there thought
about a war going’ on that night.
They carried me back to the aid
station and I stayed there that
night. They had coffee and bread
and that was my first hot coffee
or anything. Then I went from
there to the hospital, where I got
to shave for my first time in
about a month. I looked like
the wild man from Borneo.
I have had three months in the
hospital and it seemed like three
weeks; time sure has passed.
Mom, could you send me a copy
of The Ehco? I would, like to
know what is happening around
Sulphur Springs Tell everybody
hello and to write. Bye—Your
son, Janies Hart.

JOE BAILEY PEEK
WRITES TO MOTHER
Joe Bailey Peak, with the U. S.
Army somewhere in England, has
written the following letter to his
mother, Mrs, Laura Stewart, of
Sulphur Springs:
My Dear Mother: This leaves
me well and on top, just feeling
fine in body and soul today. So
glad you brought this fellow up
the way you did. You kept me
from drinking avid sins so many
boys get into. I got away with
a few whippings I needed. I
never got many hut those you
gave me have been a good book
for me, so I thank you for them.
Now so many boys’ mothers
leave them to go to their grave
at an early age, and the boys are
left out in the cold world to
fight for themselves, so you have
not lived for nothing, you see.
Well, Mother, I can’t write to
you as often as I would like to,
but will do the best I can. I
have a nice place to live, good eats
and clothes, as in the States, and
in the best Army there is, and
best of- all the Man you told me
about as a boy.
You know, Mother, as I would
becoming home from Sunday
School over the old sandy road
in July, the sand so hot it would
burn my bare feet, I could-feel
Jesus right in my heart and even
just a rock beside the road look-
ed like it loved God, and you
stayed home, Mother, to have the
children and Dad a good dinner to
eat. And the yard full of pretty
flowers—sometimes I would won-
der if Heaven looked like that
yard did. Well all those things
help a fellow a lot to carry on.

You had a very large part in my
contentment today. Your son—

OUT WAR EFFORT
i|L»
i *
We Still Must Whip the Nip!
Who can blame Americans for going
half mad with joy as Hitler’s cruel war
machine is smashed into the dust! For
all who have fought and worked and
suffered griev’ous loss, this hour of tri-
umph is deserved.
But our men are still fighting and dying
out there in the Pacific. If we let down
now, we’ll be letting them down!
Let’s stick to our war jobs until Uncle Sam
says, “Well done—you may relax!”
Let’s buy extra War Bonds—they will be
needed now, more than ever.
Let’s use transportation wisely. Grey-
hound would like to offer unlimited
pleasure travel right away—today—but
carrying war manpower is still its most
urgent task. You may be sure that Grey-
hound will lead the field with fine new
equipment, new comfort features, new
carefree tours just as soon as war re-
quirements will permit.
But now—let’s finish the job!
