SUBSCRIPTION
In Montague County, $1.50; Out of Montague County, $2.00
__________F. L. PERRY, Editor and Publisher_________
Watered as second class matter, June 10th, 1905, at the post office at
Nocona, Montague County, Texas under the Act of Congress of March
am. 1879
If the little merchant in the little town wonders if it
really pays to advertise in his home newspaper then he
needs but turn and see what the big, progressive merchants
are doing in the bigger cities. They’ve made a scientific
study of ADVERTISING so they can spend their money
where it pays them the best returns. And they’ve found
that the newspapers are their BEST advertising medium.
So, if advertising is good for the big concerns, it’s good for
the little concerns. The public’s reaction to advertising is
no different in one city than it is in another, whether the
city is big or whether it is little, whether the concern is big
or whether it is little. As a matter of fact, the big concerns
credit advertising as the potent force that has made their
business big.
It might be just what you are looking for and perhaps
this suggestion from us will help you in figuring on a worth-
while gift for a worth-while fellow. Almost anyone is open
to hints at this time of year. Here is ours, tyi order to give
comfort and happiness all the year round, jrour gift must be
a lasting one, so why not send that relative or friend who
has moved to a distant section, your home-town paper for
the year 1942? It means a present each week for 52 of
them and would cost little in comparison to his appreciation
for your thoughtfulness. What is nicer than a letter from
home -your home-town newspaper. We will gladly drop a
note to tell of the gift and who is sending it, with our
personal good wishes for the Christmas-tide.
Think it over!
On entering Nocona, people from this territory will be
reminded in many ways that the joyous Christmas Season
is near at hand, as tokens of the Yuletide crop out on every
hand.
To express welcome to shoppers and to help all to catch
the spirit of happiness, the City of Nocona, aided by the
merchants, have decorated the main business section with
vari-colored electric lights. At eventide, when these lights
are aglow, it is beautiful sight to behold, and certainly lends
a holiday aspect to this city.
Besides these decorations, the show windows radiate
Christmas Cheer, suggesting enumerable gifts making
Christmas shopping a pleasure. Nocona welcomes every-
body in this section to come here and purchase Christmas
goods, come to the town with the Christmas spirit, and
after your dealings with its congenial merchants, you can
enter into the happiness of the holidays with a spirit
of “peace on earth and good will toward men.”

If people who buy Christmas Seals would follow their
mopey through to see what it accomplishes, they would re-
gaFd it as an investment rather than a gift.

beat all projected schedules." Since
January 1, 1941. Mr. Knox said,
the Navy has ordered 5,344 vessels
at a total cost of $7,353,000,000 and
nearly one billion dollars has been
allocated for expandinir shipbuild-
ing facilities. During November,
the Secretary said. 33 combat ships
were launched, keels were laid for
52 more, and five new ships—in-
cluding the 35,000 ton dreadnaught
Indiana—joined the fleet.
Merchant Shipbuilding
The Maritime Commission
nounced its goal of “ship a day"
will be attained this month and
that plans are under way to in-
crease the program to two ships a
day by next summer. Thirty ves-
sels are scheduled for launching
in December, 39 in January and 40
in February, the Commission said.
Present objective is approximately
1.600 ships, the Commission’s con-
struction director said. “—and the
end is not yet."
The Labor Department estimated
300,000 more workers will be need-
ed for ship construction b> this
time next year. The Maritime
Commission estimated the total
number of seaman will have to be
doubled by the end of 1943.
New Defense Appropriations
The House passed and sent to the
Senate a bill appropriating $8,243 -
800,000 to expand the Army immed-
iately to 2.000,000 men; maintain
the recently-mobilized Philippine
Army; expand manufacturing facil-
ities for critical weapons to double
total provlously-scheduled product-
ion. and vastly increase the supply
of these weapons; increase the
number of airports capable of ac-
commodating military planes; in-
crease the Army Air Force from 54
to 84 groups; convert large merch-
ant vessels to aircraft carriers.
The bill would bring the total out-
lay for defense since the fall ot
France to $67,990,000,000
Labor Disputes
The House passed and sent to
the Senate a Mil which would pro-
hibit mass picketing in defense
labor disputes, bann all strikes for
organisational or jurisdictional Is-
sum. and outlaw all strikes that
have not been called bj a majority
of the workers through a secret
ballot supervised by the Govern-
ment. The Mil would also require
labor uniona to register with the
Federal and «*te Government* the
names of officials and number of
members and the amount of duos
and fee* charged; empower the
chairman of the National Defense
Mediation Board to order a OO-dayJ

Secretary of State Hull told his
press conference Japan’s policies
are based on force in every way—
politically, economically. socially,
and morally—in contrast to the U.
8. view of settling disputes by
peaceful means based on law, jus-
tice and morals. Mr. Hull said
diplomatic conversations with Jap-
anese envoys have not yet reached
a point where actual negotions to-
ward a peaceful settlement of Far
Eastern differences could be under-
taken.
President Roosevelt formally ask-
ed the Japanese Government why
it has sent land, air and sea forces
to Indo-China in far greater num-
bers than originally agreed upon
with the Vichy Government of

have violated their agreement.
Assistant Navy Secretary Bard,
speaking in Norfolk, Virginia, said:

ble will not be a minor one .
