Reports of much activity on the
part of the 4-H Girl Clubs of Rusk
county have been received by Miss
Lotye Thomas, home demonstra-
tion agent. These reports show the
girl club members are taking an
increasing interest in the plans,
which have been outlined for their
benefit.
One of the clubs to report a
100 per cent attendance at meet-
ings is the Sweetgum Clubs. The
members have also been engaged
in garden planting according to
plans outlined to them by Miss
Thomas. The results have been
" nv~t satisfactory. Club orchards
are also receiving the attention of
Sweetgum Club members.
Other 4-H Clubs throughout
the Rusk county district have also
made most encouraging ze ports to
Miss Thomas. It is felt that this
lina of endeavor is doing mach to
assist the girl students at the rural
schools.

C. M. Everts, district engineer
for the state department of health
left yesterday for Carthage and
Longview, after spending several
days in Henderson certifying the
railroads’ water supply.
Mr. Evertg is well known to
many citizens of Rusk county as
he spent several months time
here last year supervising the
campaign against mosquitoes. He
expressed the opinion that citizens
of this section eliminated the ne-
cessity of sn extensive mosquito
campaign this year by the thor-
ough work done in 1931. Mr. Ev-
erts stated that so far no request
for a renewal of the work under
the state health department’s
supervision, bad been made.
He will be in Henderson again
the latter part of the month when
other official business will need
his attention here.

All Boy Scouts of the city will
be the guests of the Lions Club
at a barbecue to be staged in
Scout Park on South Street Thurs-
day evening at 7:30 o’clock.
The announcement of this event
being staged in their honor, ras
evoked much enthusiasm among
the scouts of Henderson. Every
member of each patrol is expected
to be on hand. Scoutmasters re-
port that their charges are deeply
grateful for the action of the
Lions Club in deciding to have
them as their guests at such an
important event.
Nest Building Success
Citizens of Rusk county have
expressed their admiration for the
good work done by the members
of Baptist Boy Scout patrols dur-
ing the recent month observance
of bird nest building.
Scouts Seek Funds
A display of the fine bird nests
built by the scouts whose activi-
ties are -ipervised by Scoutmaster
Ralph Marcum, is now being seen
in the show window of the J. C.
Anderson Hardware Company.
This display was arranged by
Parker Hodge who has always
manifested a keen interest in the
scout’s activities.
Those who purchase a nest are
aiding the boys in raising funds
with which to carry on their work
in tjlis county. Only a nominal
charge is made for a nest.
Thirteen members of the 4-H
Club of Sweetgum school were
determined to become prominent
in the chicken raising industry in
Rusk county, and the fact that
they were without funds to fi-
nance the venture did not in any
wise dismay these youngsters.
Start Negotiations
Taking their troubles to Prof,
and Mrs. Walter Moon who have
charge of the Sweetgum school,
they found sympathetic listeners.
As a result, Raiford Allen presi-
dent of the 4-H Boys Club went
to the First National Bank for a
conference with Vice President E.
F. Crim of that institution
prof. Moon.
The 4-H Club leader made
known his wants in a voice which
was far from hesitant. He as-
sured Mr. Crim tha|f the bank
would be making a good loan if
the money was advanced his fel-
low club members for the pure •se
of 1,000 young chickens and some
young pigs.
Offers to Endorse
Prof. Moon then entered
conversation and offered to
dorse the note in order that his
scholars might have the opportuni-
ty to start operation. Mr. Crim
said that he would consider the
matter further and told Raiford
Allen to return with all the other
4-H Club members next day and
they would "go into conference
again.”
Thirteen proud youngsters were
at The First National Bank long
before the appointed time and
even bfeore the doors of the bank
swung open.

“HAPPY WARRIOR” SEEN IN VARIED MOODS AS CONVENTION NEARS
t X
When the -East Texas Firemen’a
Association stages its convention
here on May 11, the visiting dele-
gates are going to find a variety jn(? a record
of entertainment awaiting them,
which will keep them occupied
from the time they arrive in
Henderson until they are ready
to depart for their homes.
Drill Contest Feature
From the viewpoint of the pub-
lic in general, the feature of the
gathering of the men who protect
millions of dollars of property
through their continuous battles
against fires, will be the drill con-
tests to be staged in the downtown
area.
More than a half dozen cities
are sending drill teams to bid for
honors in thia important event.
There is much rivalry between >e
contending drill organizations and
this event is the outstanding fea-
ture of every convention. There
will be an unusually large number
of contestants thia year, according
to Fire Marshal Eugene Lacey and
Fire Chief A. C. Culp, who were
instrumental in bringing this im-
portant gathering to our city,
Barbacua Plannad
The entertainment program will
include a barbecue luncheon to be
held at the noon hour. The com-
mittee handling thia phase of the
convention will have the coopera-
tion of Mias Lotye Thomas, who
will supervisa the preparing of the
luncheon.
Several East Texas cities have
made known their intention
invite the firemen for their next
convention. This is one of ths
portant matters to be considered

Fifty-seven civil cases, involv-
ing lands and other properties
valued at many thousands of dol-
lars, will be called for trial in
District Court during this month.
The calendar of cases to receive
the attention of the court during
May was set by Judge R. T.
Brown after consulting with mem-
bers of the bar.
Various forms of litigations are
included in the cases set for
trial. A majority of the civil ac-
tions now pending are related in
some way to the development of
the Rusk county section of th*
East Texas oil field area.
The calendar follows:

Men who served in the army,
navy, and marine corps during
the World War are continuing to
manifest great interest in the bat-
tle now being waged in Congress
oyer the proposal to pay in full
the bonus certificates now held by
the veterans, according to an-
nouncement made yesterday by
Attorney H. H. Wellborn, com-
mander of the Henderson Post of
the American Legion.
"As the congressional battle
nears a decision, the men who
served their country during the
perilous days of 1917 and 1918
are making continuous inquiry as
to what progress the leaders for
the bonus payment, are making in
Washington,” Commander Well-
born said.
"Report I have received from
the capital are to the effect that
the sponsors of the bill calling for
the immediate payment, are ex-
tremely confident that victory will
crown their efforts. I know of
many of the former service men
who are in real need of this
money. I heartily approve the ef-
forts of my comrades to have this
bill passed. If the United States
government can aid the railroads
and other big business organiza-
tions with billions of dollars I see
no reason why they can not as-
sist the men who served during
the World War.”
Recently when a campaign was
on to determine the attitude of
Rusk county citizens toward the
Patman bill, calling for the pay-
ment of the bonus certificates,
more than 100 telegrams were re-
ceived in a single day by Com-
mander Wellborn from business
men and others, who advocated
the adoption of the proposed leg-
islation.
Commander Wellborn stated
that an overwhelming majority of
the ex-service men favor the
prompt payment of the bonus.
Formal opening of the outdoor
curb market on the courthouse
grounds will take place Tuesday
morning with nearly 20 producers
in possession of pc-mits to do
business.
A number of ' nprovements have
been perfected since the market
closed last fall. The entire space
has been screened in. The sand
has been replaced by sawdust,
and other improvements of a
similar nature have been made.
The curb will be opened at 7:30
a.m., instead of 7 o’clock as in
the past. It will remain open un-
til 11 o’clock each morning.
The curb market committee is
composed of J. W. Harris, chair-
man, S. L. Vaughn, vice chair-
man, Mesdames C. E. Sanford, C.
M. 'Rushton, S. N. Pincham, H. J.

At a meeting of the committee
Friday an executive committee to
supervise the activities of the
market and see that rulesand reg-
ulation- are carried out, was ap-
pointed. The governing body will
be composed of Mrs. C. W. Bar-
ber, Mrs. Duncan, and Mrs. San-
ford.

plications seeking loans from the
Seed Loan Section of the Recon-

the total number of local resk

No Ono Overlooked
As the result of tho campaign
waged by the county loan com-
mittee to familiarize the
county farmers with the offer of
the United States government to
aid the agricultural interest of the
nation, it is believed that few, if
any needy citizens passed up this

Mr. Eudaley, who is dairy ex-
pert in the extension service of
Texas Agricultural and Mechani-
cal School at College Station, will
conduct meetings at Lanevilie,
Pinehill, and one more community
yet to be selected. These meetings
will be some time Friday and Sat-
urday morning.
Plan Ganaral Masting
A general meeting will prob-
ably be held at the courthouse
Saturday afternoon. This will en-
able the farmers, who are in
Henderson doing their week-end
shopping, to hear Mr. Eudaley
outline his plans.
The dairy expert will tell
Rusk county citizens how the
tests to determine which cattle are
producing sufficient butterfat to
make them profitable can be made.
In these ways owners of cattie
will be able to eliminate the un-
profitable animals, and thereby in-
crease the annual income from
this source.
It has been pointed out that
some farmers are already keep-
l of the investments
made in dairy cattle but that they
are satisfied if the total proceeds
show a profit. Some of the cattle
may be losing money for the own-
ers and others may be making suf-
ficient profit to make up for the
loss of the unprofitable animals.
By making the butterfat tests, the
cattle which are reducing the to-
tal profits can then be eliminated.
