Some of the *uggo«ti'>ns received

Peronally we like the idea of

CONVERSA+ION WITH A
well known bachelor of Breckeh-

"Do you know the difference be-
tween keeping up a boat and keep-

"Vo".
"The boat cannot call you on th

NOTICE HAS BEEN RE-
ceivt-d that the h<dv of Sgt. Paul
Delong of Eliasville will arrive at
the Morrison Funei.v Home in
Graham the fin-t of next week,
another returned war dead.

a member of the famed 3f>th

MONDAY WILI. BE FLAG
Day. About the only efficia! ob-
servance of this day here is that
by the Elks Club, which has a
ritual that is a "must" for ♦very
lodge on that day. The Brecken-
ridge lodge has been taking turn
about with Ranger rn the observ-
ance, and this year it is the turn
of the Breckenridge lodge to go to
Ranger for it. Every Elks cere-
mony and meeting reveres the fla-r.
Locally there hns been some sug-
gestion that flags be flown at :ia'f
mast for returned war dead, but
the flag is a national symbol and
can be flown at half mast only on
the death of the p.-c-tdent. or by
nresidental proclamation, or
Memorial Day. it was said.
Pcpole could fl> them here
though on Monday, and people also
could always saluts the flag when
it goes by on parade.
THOUGHT FOR THE MOMENTt
The interest* of childhood and
youth nre the inteersts of man-
kind.—James.
"Make Safety Our No. I Crop."
That's the 1! 48 slogan of the 4-H
! Club boys and girls throughout the
nation to help reduce the annual
t-ll of 18,(10(1 deaths and 1 S mil-
lion injured on farms, due to acci-
d nts.
Many members are 'aking active
part in the National 4-H Farm
Si;f( ty awards program, which is
being continued in Texas under the
direction of the Extension Service
i for the sixth consecutive year.
; Among the members' activities
i to safegurad their families against
accidents an- removing or correct-
ing hazards on their farmsteads,
'i'neir safety measures include nail-
i ing down loose boards in homes
|and barns; covering open wells
and water tanks; properly storing
; tools; exercising care in operating
machinery on farms and automo-
bile* on highways, to mention only
a few.
As incentives for superior rec-
| orris in farm safety work, awards
'are again offered this year by Geri-
feril Motors. They comprise sterl-
I itig silver medals to five winners
in each county, and a merit plaque
J to the state championship county.
Each state's champion will receive
a trip to the Chicago 4-H Club
I Congress next November. Eight
! state winners selected to receive
! national honors will eat.i receive
a $200.00 college scholarship.

Scores fell on Recreation^ Field
last night when Independent Ex-
ploration Company met Lone Star
like raindrops from a fast moving
cloud, and when the shower ended
Lone Star stood in the lead by one
tally. The nar% was 13 to 12,
the Independents again making e-
nugh scores to win except that the
other team makes just a few more.
The I. X. company boys started
out us if they at last were going
t.i put a marker in the victory col-
umn. They bad Lone Star ten to
four when Lone Star racked up
five tallies in the fifth. Neither
.ride scored the following frame and
then the Independents added two
more scores with a half inning
left to play. But Lone Star took the
b;t in their teeth in the last of
the seventh end shoved across four
runs. Just enough to win. A home
run by Rip Allen featured the
Batting.
Play was before a large crowd
and very peaceful, except for scor-
ing. There was one mishap, howev-
er. Gene Slaughter suffered a
broken finger by a thrown ball.
It was the middle finger ot hjs
left hand and it was found this
morning that it was broken in two
places.
