This farmer is like many around
here. He knows that a good way to
save money is to keep his farm Sin-
clair-ized with a full line of Sinclair
products. For example, in buying
kerosene, it pays to ask for Sinclair SuperFlame. This kero-
sene will save you money over a season. Tha,t’s because it
burns clean in incubators and brooders. There’s
no odor or gases to kill the hatch. Let me sup-
ply you with Sinclair SuperFlame Kerosene
and other Sinclair products when my truck
calls at your farm.

One of the loveliest parties
of the past week was the des-
sert-bridge given Friday after-
noon when Mrs. William Zappe
and her daughter, Miss Bea-
trice Zappe, entertained honor-
ing Mrs. Victor Stindt.
The reception rooms were
radiant with beautiful roses,
dahlias, plumbago,, and other
garden flowers within hues of
pink and blue prevailing. Six
tables were set out in this
charming environment, each
marked with dainty pink and
blue score pads, tallies and
bridge accessories. A dessert
course was served, further ac-
centuating the chosen color
theme.
In the rounds of entertain-
ing game, Mrs. A. A. Darilek
scored high while cut prize
went to Mrs. O. Heinsohn. The
hostesses pleasantly remember-
ed the honoree with a gift
after which she found herself
the recipient of a lovely shower.
Mrs. Gus Wolters, whose
birthday occurred on that date,
was remembered with a gift
from the hostesses as was Miss
Rosa Gasser, who recently
graduated from the Cincinnati
Conservatory of Music.
Mrs. William Zappe Jr., of
Gonzales was an only out of
town guest.

Semi-Annual Report of State
Secretary
Our By-Laws call for a fin-*
ancial report from the State
Secretary to be published in the
official organ every three
months.
The Executive Committee has
been working on plans to print
our own paper, one that would
be cheap enough that every
member could subscribe for
and it would bring reliable in-
formation and news of interest
to every member. But strong
opposition on one side and low
finances on the other, have pre-
vented us from taking this im-
portant step so far.
To make sure that every
branch gets this report, we de-
cided to mimeograph it and mail
it to every branch.
The six months following our
first Annual Convention show
the following results:
February 9th, Cash on Hand
(as per Auditor’s Report $634.63
Outstanding bills $47.83

ing renewed their memberships

During the past six months
since our first Annual Con-
vention, we have not made a
progress to boast about, but
considering the -circumstances
and the conditions of our farm-
ers, I think we may be well
proud of our record. In our Con
vention it was clearly visible
that farmers and all depending
on the farmers realized that
something should and must be
done to increase the income of
the farmer in order to safe-
guard rural life and home own-
ership.
The sincerity and ambition of
the delegates and members pre-
sent at the Convention, filled
with determination to carry on,
showed clearly that all of them
knew that it will take unity
and a long, hard fight to cor-
rect the evils in agriculture
that stand in need of correct-
ion.
It will be necessary to fol-
low three lines of action to
reach our goal: Education, Leg-
islation and Cooperative En-
terprises.
Education is mentioned first
and perhaps is the most neces-
sary step. In our meetings we
can study new methods of farm
ing. The partial loss of our for-
eign markets, which depressed
the prices of most farm pro-
ducts, forces us to change our
system of one crop farming. As W‘‘Fpr years I had occasional constipatic
our land wears out and insects
and diseases make the raising
of cotton more and more un- — -------------
profitable, we are forced to
adopt new and more scientific
methods of farming. The Coun-
ty Agent, Home Demonstra-
tion Agent. Vocational Agricul-
tural Teacher and your local
Farm Security Administrator,
if invited to your meetings, will
help make your meeting inter-
esting and educational. Sponsor-
ing Junior Farmers’ League,
4-H Clubs, and other rural
youth clubs, securing a Coca-
tional Agriculture Class in your
High Schools will go a long way
to prepare our youth to make
a better living on the farm.
We should also study and
promote means and ways to
increase consumption of our
products. Recently. Southern
Cotton Growers and Handlers
organized the National Cotton
Council. .They collect 1-2 to 1
cent .per bale from growers and
j handlers of cotton and 1
| per ton of cotton seed from
) crushers to put on an advertls-
(ing campaign to increase cot-
' ton consumntion and find new
uses -for eot+r»m. This, I think is
members of the Farmers League
should cooperate 100 per cent.
We must create markets for our
products before we can hope to
get a fair price for them. To
produce for a market that does
not exist is foolhardy and ex-
pensive. It costs our Govern- ...
ment 50 million dollars to carry ^
our cotton surplus one year and “
we, no doubt, pay the bill.
Lavaca and "Colorado County
members demonstrated clearly
how educational and social pro
grams can be put on by which
everyone can profit and all
members of the family can en-
joy. Lavaca County Farmers
League in connection with the
Haliettsville Chamber of Com-
merce and A & M. College put
on a two day short course that
was a credit to its sponsors and
of great educational value to all
who attended.
The Colorado County Farm-
ers’ League put on a picnic that
included speeches and recrea-
tion which, no doubt, elevated
the cooperative spirit in their
county.
Proper legislation for our
farmers is necessary to suc-
cessful farming. Senator Ma-
hoony said recently, “People
who are able and willing to
work cannot find employment.
People who are hungry can-
not provide themselves with
food; people who produce what
the idle and hungry need, can-
not sell it atnd, indeed, can find
a market only for a small por-
tion of what they are capable
of producing. Owners of money
and machines cannot put their
property to sure and certain
use. The Abundance of a Nat-
ion Mocks the Intelligence of
Men, who seem incapable of
distributing it among their
kind either equitable or prof-
itable.”
What answer can our States-
men give to usch an indictment?
The abundance of a nation
mocks the intelligence of men.
Here is work to do for Farm
Organizations to help our States
men straighten out this un-
reasonable condition.
It is apparent that during
the last session of our Legis-
lature an increasing amount of
influence was exerted on Legis-
lators by Farm Organizations.
That should be one of our ob-
jective for next year. Candid-
ates will have to stand for r&-
election, new men will run for
office. Let us get their views
on our problems, then get be-
hind our men and see that we
get results. Several bills of vital
interest to farmers will come
up on the next Texas Legisla-
ture and the Farmers’ League
should be ready to do their part.
Cooperative Enterprise or the
so-called Self-Help-Plan should
be included in our program. We
don’t want to depend too much
on Legislation or on our Gov-
ernment. There are many ways
to help ourselves by coopera-
tion. Cooperative buying and
selling of certain commodities
have proved profitable in many
localities. Credit Unions have
done some wonderful work In
many localities. Credit Unions
have done some wonderful
work in many communities and
Rural Electrification should be
sponsored by the Farmers’
League wherever possible.
On the last page of our By-
Law Booklet you will find
sources of study material on
various subjects. The Farmers’
League is not yet in position to
supply our members with the
necessary literature but if there
is any way we can help you
get the desired information, we
will be glad to do so.
Sincerely yours,
R F. ULLMANN,
Sec.-Treas. Farmer’s League

Headache, Bad Breath
Tell of More to Come
a very worthy cause and all
Just as Paul Revere’s famous ride
warned of the Redcoats’ coming, eo
Nature’s messengers — headaches,
biliousness, bad breath—often warn
of faulty elimination.
Neglecting these signs may cause a
host of constipation’s discomforts:
sour stomach, belching; no appetite
or energy; mental dullness.
It’s so easy to wake up your lazy
insides. Just take spicy, all vege-
cent j table BLACK-DRAUGHT. Its un-
usual help comes from its principal
ingredient—an intestinal tonic-lax-
ative which imparts tone to lazy
bowel muscles.
Millions of packages used testify to
BLACK-DRAUGHT’Smerit Try it.
