and talk over our problems.”

ty agents’ work.

ment of Agriculture appropria-
tion bill reached the House
floor. Thompson prepared to
defend the REA, Soil Conser-
vation Service, and other es-
sential farm programs against

tial activities.

and color for variety, added
much to the beauty of worship.
Mrs. W. I). Johnson was at
the organ with quiet music
when needed.
Following the program, the
youth were invited to the Edu-
cational Building for a brief
period of fellowship, after
which the Worpan’s Society of
Christian Service served sand-
wiches, cookies, and iced tea.
In charge of refreshments
were Mrs. L. A. Wheeler, Mrs.
George Fernau, Mrs. W. 1).
Johnson, Mrs. Marvin Finger,
and Mrs. D. F. Johnson.
A number of out-of-town
pastors and adult councilors
were present, but the accent
was on youth.
Yet with all the work the heart
has to do it does not give out
suddenly unless it has been in-
jured or ill-treated.
Under pressure of work the
average person neglects his
heart and unwittingly abuses
it. The chief causes of heart
trouble, aside from the deter-
ioration of old age, are rheu-
matic heart, acute infectious
diseases, chronic infections,
syphilis, too abrupt return to
activity after a serious illness,
too strenuous exercise and
overweight may be a factor.
Many of the signs which you
may think mean heart trouble
can be caused by some other
disorder. Indigestion, lung
trouble, or nervousness may
cause pain near the heart,
shortness of breath, fainting
and irregularity of beat. If
you have any of these symp-
toms, do not try to diagnose
the condition yourself, but go
to your doctor for an examina-
tion. He will be able to find
out what is wrong and may tell
you that your heart is sound
Have a regular periodic exam-
ination and follow your doc-
tory advice.
Two Additional Oil Wells Methodist Youth Hold
Are Completed Recently
Surtton Drilling Co. recently
completed No. 2 E. A. Arnim,
located on what is known as
the Cardenas place, for a good
oil producer. ’
cated about a mile to the
southwest of the Huff pro-
ducers, thus arises the possi-
bility of a good extension to
present production.
Also during recent days, re-
ports have it that Hamman Oil
& Refining Co.’s Tupa No. 2
in the Floy area is a good pro-
ducer.
Sutton Drilling Co. is now
drilling ahead on Zimmerhan-
zel No. 5 for Continental, in
the area some five miles to the
northwest of Flatonia. Con-
tinental during the last week
unloaded two full car loads of
oil well pipe from a local side-
track. One could readily see
that oil prospects here are very
bright.

Flatonia boys did very well
for themselves. The Gorilla
Patrol came out first with 185
points, and the Eagle Patrol
was second with 152 points out
of a possible 210 points. This
was. a. very good .showing for
our boys. We should feel
proud of them doing so well.
They received a large wood-
en Boy Scout emblem as the
boys award. Their names will
be engraved later.

tonia Boy Scouts |yere: fire by •
