Mrs. W. E. Morgan of the Prairie
Point community announces the
marriage of her sister. Miss Verna
Bumpas to Mr. John Quinton of
Fort Smith, Arkansas, on Saturday,
February 21st. The impressive cere-
mony was read at the Fort Smith
Baptist Church, with the Baptist
minister reading the marriage vows.
Mrs. Quinton is a graduate of the
Prairie Point Consolidated schools,
finishing with the class of 1935.
She made her home with Mr. and
Mrs. Morgan during her high
school years, and a part of the
time after graduation. She has
a host of friends here, who wish
for her every happiness and much'
success in her years of married
life.
The young couple will make their
home in Muskogee,
where Mr. Quinton

Nocona has played approximately
I basketball games this season
and has won all except six games
and most of those were lost while
the Indans were crippled with ill-
ness. Every member of the squad
has been out some time during
the season either with mumps or
some other illness. The Indians
scored a total of 892 points during
the season while their opponents
were held to 689.
The local five won the district
championship with only one loss
marked against them. Crowell was
defeated in the bi-district play
in a two-of-three game series and
Gatesville eliminated the Indians
in the Regional Championship
F-eries after three of the closest
basketball games in the history of
the regional playoff.
Indians In Benefit Game
The redskins may be seen by the
fans of this section in one more
basketball game next Thursday
night when they will meet Prairie
Valley, one of the few teams that
have registered a victory against the
Indians, on the local floor. The
receipts of this game will be used
to purchase awards for the suc-
cessful cavers of Nocona High
School. All fans are urged to come
and show their appreciation of the
Braves by seeing this fast game
and helping them in the purchase
of awards.
The many friends of Hugh Car-
son, cashier of the Farmers and
Merchants National Bank, will be
sorry to learn that he is reported
to be still seriously ill at the Bay-
lor Hospital in Dallas. Word re-
ceived here Thursday morning was
that he was not shoeing any im-

Every household in the nation
should get itself into the sugar
ration habit now before the Gov-
ernment's rationing plan goes into
effect, Dan A. West, Director of
the Consumer Division of the Of-
fice of Price Administration, ad-
vised today. He also urged con-
sumers who have hoarded large
supplies of sugar to “divvy up”
with their friends and neighbors.
•'Rationing means ‘share
share alike.”
At a recent meeting of the fac-
ulty of the Nocona Public Schools,
they voted almost 100 percent to
accept 5 percent or more of their
monthly salary "in defense bonds
and stamps.
Agreements are being signed and
it seems assured that by April 1 all
teachers will be included in the
group. This will swell the sale of
bonds and stamps of the schools
each month to approximately $150
above the averages that they have
been maintaining from week to
week. Some teachers are asking
that they be paid as high as 15
percent of their monthly salary in
stamps and bonds.
At last report of the accumulated
totals for the schools of the city
the $10,000 mark was almost reach-
ed. The goal will be reached with-
in a few days. Then a $20,000.00
goal will be set.

Housewives are going to
plenty of sugar lor home canning
this summer and every effort is
being made to have it available.
That is the assurance of J. B.
Joyce, acting manager of the War
Production Board's Southwest prior-
ities field office in Dallas.
Mr. Joyce emphasizes that mon-
thly allocations of refined sugar
are taking into account the sugar
that will be needed this summer
for home canning.
"The supply may be somewhat
limited”, he explained, “just as
the supply for daily consumption
Is limited; but it win be suflieient
to enable housewives to can what
they need.”
He added that reports have com'
to his office that some housewive
are buying more sugar than they
need for normal family use. and
are explaining that they want to
be sure of having enough Asugai
for home canning this summer.
"That sort of buying is un-
necessary and it is also unwise,"
Mr. Joyce warns. "It aggravates a
situation that already is difficult.
We’re making every effort to see
that sugar is made available for
home canning next summer and
Washington advises us that the
Office of Price Administration will
handle its distribution."

R. Childress and Arvle Elliott
were the speakers at the first
session of the poultry school being
held at the Roxy Theatre here.
Mr. Childress is from Scott Bros.
Grain Company of Fort Worth and
Mr. Elliott is County Agent. Mr.
Childress gave an outline of the
prospects for the poultry industry
in and around Nocona.
Mr. Elliott talked on tt|e peanut
situation, telling prices, type fertil-
izers to use if advisable, where to
place orders, etc. He said that
orders could be placed not later
than March 15th. F. B. Martin.
AAA man for this county can take
the orders. He expects to have
someone in Nocona to take these
orders for peanut seed. They can
be bought on cash or credit. Part-
iculars may be obtained from the
secretary of the Nocona Chamber
of Commerce.

means ‘share and pebruarv 25th. of injuries sustained
Mr. West said, “and
if we’re really serious about shar-
ing the burdens of this war fairly,
here’s a good chance tor us to
begin doing it in our communi-
ties.”
Consumers will have to ceritfy
the amount of sugar they have on
hand when they register for War
Ration Book No. 1. For all sugar
in excess of two pounds per per-
son, stamps will be torn out of
the ration books, preventing fur-
ther purchase of sugar until the
hoards are used up. False certi-
fication will be punishable under
the United States Criminal Code.
By “divvying up" sugar supplies
with friends neighbors now. Mr.
West said, those who have stocked
up heavily can help lesson the
strain on retail stores and avoid
the embarassment of having many
stamps removed from their ration
books at the time of registration.
He pointed out that mast homes
do not have facilities for storing
large supplies of sugar and that
especially in
damp places, will result in hard-
ening and caking and other spoil-
age which will mean
sugar.
Under the rationing plan, sales
of sugar will be restricted to some-
thing less than a pound of sugar
per person per week. “Sugar ration-
ing will work no hardship on any-
one," Mr. West declared. Many
never use that much sugar in a
week anyway. For others. it‘s just a
matter of wartime duty to pull in
our belts and use less sugar than
we've been accustomed to.”
He suggested that every house-
hold figure out approximately the
amount of sugar to which it will
be entitled under the plan. “Try
limiting your use of sugar to that
amount. If you find you are us-
ing more than that, see where you

Two deadlines up and two to go
Is the status of cotton crop insur-
ance in Texas, Donald L. Cothran,
state cotton crop insurance super-
visor. said this week.
Remaining deadlines in the state
are March 16 and March 31.
Federal cotton crop insurance
protects farmers against all un-
avoidable hazards such drouth, hail,
wind. rain, boll weevils, and other
insects. It does not protect grow-
| ers from losses due to defective
or ixxir seed or bad fanning prac-
tices, damage to quality, loss by
theft, or failure to irrigate them
when insurance is written on ir-
rigated basis. Cothran explained.
Either 50 or 75 jiercent of the
normal production may be insured,
he said, with Federal Crop Insur-
ance Corporation making up the
difference in what the crop Is in-
sured for and the actual product-
ion.
“The important thing about cot-
ton crop insurance is that each
farm will carry its own risk. If
previous losses have been high, pre-
Tf they’ve
been low. premiums will be low.
There is no overlapping of crop
failures.” he explained.
Premiums may be paid in cash
or cash equivalent on or before
maturity date or may be deducted
from loss payments, if any
made, cotton loans, if available, or
from AAA payments.
"People don't carry tornado, life,
health, liability and accident in-
surance just once in a while and
hope to collect the vear they hap-
pen to have it. They take it for
protection, nnd that’s the same
principle with cotton crop insur-
ance—protection every vear. not
Just now and then.” Cothran said

of cream. The skimmed milk is
valuable feed to chickens, hogs and
turkeys. If sold to the cheese
plant at the present price, it will
reflect $84.00. in the whole milk.
If Nocona had a 4 star bull that
it could cross with these 200 pounds
of butterfat cows, die heifer calves
,‘hould produce 350 pounds of but-
terfat per year or $122.50 on the
cream basis or $147.00 of the whole
milk. If the price was the same
when these heifer calves came into
production, the gain over their
dam, or mother, would be $52.50
on the cream and $63.00 on the
whole milk basis. Normally a bull
sires 60 calves per year. The
calves will run about 50 percent
male and 50 percent female, or 30
heifer calves per year.
increase in the heiler calves of
$52.50 per cow per year, for 30
cows, will be $1575.00. In other
words the increased production that
could be credited to a 4 star sire
in one year would be over fifteen
hundred dollars. Such a sire can
be bought for less than $450.00. He
would be good for at least 5 years
service, and worth on present price
basis, $7875.00 to the community,
less feed and care.
Three movies entitled “Farm In-
conveniences"; “Terracing to Save
Farms" and “My Model Farm”

etc. These films were
by the International
Company.

stitute a success.
