Nature’s cold spots, like the Artic
, and Antartic regions, are hopelessly
L outclassed by a basement in Soncy,
Texas. Here there is a laboratory of
the United States bureau of mines,
the business of which is to produce
helium for inflating dirigibles and
balloons. The phrase “zero weath-
er” would mean a scorching hot day
in comparison to the temperature
daily produced in this plant, for the
production of helium requires a tem-
perature of 300 degrees of Fahren-
heit below zero!
1 he helium is made from natural
gas. It is produced by cooling the
gas to 300 degrees below zero, at
which low temperature all the ele-
ments in the gas except helium are
liquified. The helium may be drawn
off as a gas. The rest mav then be
thawed out, after which it can be
used for illuminating or heating pur-
poses just as if nothing had been

SPEAKS TO ROTARIANS -
“Rotary’s International Relations”
was the topic discussed at the Rotary
Club Friday under direction of F. E.
Douglas, former’ president of the
... club. After outlining the organiza-
—. xtx.urd I tion’s international connections, .Mr.
cent for the ensuing1 Douglas introduced Dr. John A Ray
.tit u i i pi.jncjpa] Speaker>
• Dr. Ray is head of the department
■dits | of Spanish and Italian at Washing-
ton University, St. Louis. He was
reared at Whitewright and was .here
spending the holidays with his' fa-
ther. Dr. Alfred J*. Ray.
With degrees from Baylor Univer-
sity and Yale, Dr. Ray'completed his
university work at the University of
Paris, France, in 1906. Returning to
the United States, he taught in Wil-
aliams College, Williamstown, Mass.;
at Vanderbilt, and at the U. S. Naval
Academy, Annapolis. Subsequently
he spent twelve years in the United
States consular service, with various
assignments in Europe, Asia, South
America and South Africa. In his
travels to and from these posts he
encircled the globe and visited most
of the foreign capitals.
Dr. Ray talked to the club without
preparation, but from his vast store
of information about the traditions
and peoples of other countries.
Sid Little and W. W. Simpson of
Sherman and William Cantrell, prin-
cipal of the Whitewright High School,
were other visitors present.
AlWrugh the exact figures upon
which the fire rating of Whitewright
will be calculated for the ensuing
year have not been compiled, it ap-
pears certain that the town will re-
ceive the maximum good fire recoi
credit of 15 per c_„L
policy year beginning March 1. I
The state fire insurance depart-
ment maintains a system of creC.„ ‘
and penalties for good and bad fire
records, which are awarded on the
ratio of losses and premiums during
the three preceding calendar years.
If the fire losses of a municipality
over a three-year period are found
to be less than 55 per cent of the to-
tal premiums collected, a credit is al-
lowed in accordance with the ratio
table. If the losses exceed 55 per’
cent of the premiums, then a charge
or increased rate is promulgated ac-
cordingly.
The maximum credit is 15 per
cent and the maximum charge is 15
per cent, making a margin of 30 per
cent which towns and cities with
good fire records may save in the
cost of fire insurance.
With the fixed key rate of only
33 cents and a good fire record cred-
it of 15 per cent, Whitewright will
have the benefit of an exceedingly
low insurance rate for the coming
^vear.
Of all the unemployed in
York, the Archduke Leopold of Aus-
tria-Hungary is probably in the worst
> predicament.
Not only was he out of a job at
this writing, but there seemed to be
nothing he could do. Work was not
1 part of his training.
Even apple selling is out, because
an archduke can’t very well jeopard-
ize his social standing by peddling on
a street corner. And besides, he has
a taste for luxury which can hardly
be appeased on a 5-cent income.
Only occasionally, therefore, can
the archduke pick up a bit of pin
money. For instance, he received
$10,000 for sitting in an art gallery
for one week, just to give it tone.
And he got $2,500 for attending a
dinner as a mere guest.
He also says he was offered $6,-
000 by a woman if he would say that
a necklace she possesses once be-
longed to his aunt, the Archduchess
Marie Therese. He turned that offer
down.

newspapers in Texas by the Ameri-

dailies with a total combined circula-
tion ^of approximately 1,039,467,

proximately 3,172, took no stand and

Beginning the New Year Uncle
Joe’s oldest daughter has gone on the
water wagon and his wife has made
a resolution not to get a divorce this
year, particularly so, since Joe isn’t
able to pay alimony. Uncle Joe’s
youngest daughter has resolved to
quit swearing and his mother-in-law i
declares she isn’t going to add any-1
thing to hei' score in order to win«
bridge prizes. It looks as if the famB
ily is to be old-fashioned, but Jofl
isn’t hopeful. He has been watcL^fl

Tain’t So Doggone Bad,”
Says Editor McCarty
We ain’t been blown away. 'We
ain’t had no tidal wave. We ain’t had
no floods, no pestilence. Ain’t had
no earthquakes with redhot lava
overspreading our farm districts, de-
stroying farm houses, crops and tak-
ing a toll of human lives. We’ve had
no wars, no revolutions to contend
with. Peace reigns throughout the
nation. The gross wealth of our na-
tion is something like four hundred
billion dollars. Bank resources right
at twenty billion dollars. What the
Devil and Tom Walker are you
grouching about? Have five million
bales of cotton ahead, enough to
clothe a nation. Made two billion
bushels of corn this year. O, yes,
cornpone for the whole nation.
Wheat granaries are bursting and
the American smoke houses are all
bulged out with bacon. Of course,
it’s bad, but wake up, old scout, and
get that frown off your face and
look up at the hilltops as you live in
the greatest country in the world.
We have our farm homes and our
ranch homes are intact, and the fer-
tility of the soil is still here—that
mystic stuff that grows the golden !
grain and King Cotton, puts the ’
green in the grass and the fragrance
and the juice in the peach. Why,
shuckins, folks, we are the most

EMORY CHRISTIAN
Taking a position with the Browns-
ville Herald as auditor in March,
1929, Emory Christian was promoted
Jan. 1 to business manager of the
publication. The Herald is a Marsh-
Fentress publication, with which
company Mr. Christian first became
connected at Waco in September,
1928. He is the son-in-law of Mr.
and Mrs. W. P. Vaughn of White-
wright, and for several years resided
here.
Here is the experience of one Har-
rison County farmer as related by
Homei’ M. Price of the Marshall
Morning News:
Here is how a fellow puts the
dairy business: “I don’t expect to
make any money during the coming
year from my cows but I expect to
make a living by milking those eight
cows. I intend to raise all my feed
and in this way I will get by. I think
some farmers fail to understand ex-
actly what it means to raise feed and
produce milk. It’s only a way of sell-
ing the feed they raise. Instead of
baling hay and selling it they can
feed it to the cows and sell the milk.
In this way they can sell the feed
stuff at the highest retail price. It
saves them from buying feed for
which they would pay the full retail
price. I made a little money on my
cows last year but on account of the
drouth I had to buy considerable
feed. I also raised 8 bales of cotton,
but figure it as I may, I lost money
on cotton. I can see only 7 or 8
cent cotton next yeai’ and, of course,
that means disaster if we stick to
cotton. Possibly we will make very
little profit on our dairy cows
we can at least make a living..”
