' i^grc»p‘bt members of the First
Baptist Church attended the Cen-
tennial meeting of the Union Bap-
tist Association at the First Bap-
tis Church, Houston. Rev. George
N. Cook, clerk of the association,
was re-elected to the dfficc he had
held for some years, and Rev. H.
I, Fi< kett of Galveston was re-
elected moderator-.
Those attending from Brenham
included Rev and Mm. George N.
Cook. Mrs. Virginia Teague, B. F.
Teague, Mcsdames M. B. Holle-
man,- E. A. Crozier, Lee Curry and
Kirk Dillon.
the nineteen shown at the Wash-
ington County Fair. She is a resi-
dent of Brenham. Route 2, and has
a model farm on which diversifi-
cation is practiced in the most
successful Way. The exhibit con-
sisted of products groa n* on one
farm, and was one of the finest
ever seen at a Washington County
Fair.
Miss Lena Heins of Latium was
awarded second place, and. Mrs
Albert Ehlcrt, Jr., of Prairie Hill
placed third.
Judges declared all the individ-
ual farm exhibits were exception-
ally fine, and Judging was a diffi-
cult .matter. It will be noticed that
winners of the first three places
were women, showing that they
rank high as farmers.

have developed, one insisting
that the stores close at least
I one afternoon, while the <4liei
I takes the positidn that such ac-.
tion would be a mistake. Direct-
ors of- the fair did not ask the
I stores to close this year, but did
request merchants to let their'
employes off for as much time .
I as possible so that they 'can as-
sist in necessary tasks at the
I fair grounds.
Complaint in the past has
r been heard that wlien the stdfes
close, the employes do not go to
the fair but go fishing, -hunting,
I or shopping elsewhere, so that
the fair does not benefit g|-#at'ly
from such closing. It -has, also
been argued that visitors from
rural areas and neighboring
communities come to Brenham
expecting to do some shopping
while attending the fair and re-
’ sent it when they find the stores
closed in their faces. This year
would be particularly inconveni-
ent for shoppers if the stores
closed Friday, because Saturday
is Columbus Day and a legal
holiday with the banks closed.
It is also a Jewish holiday, so
that several of the stores will
i be closed Saturday. In face of
circumstances, fair' directors
thought -this year would be a
good .-one in which to test the
theories and let'merchants find
out whether it is better to close
or stay open for business. Some
of them are taking advantage of
the situation to advertise special
I bargains during Fair Week.

This Ripley-like situation was
Mnk ..Cffiated by a World War law
I that has been repealed, but its
I injustices have not been cor-
rected. It happened this .way:
In 1917 a federal law was passed
[ under which, an American worn-
I an forfeited her citizenship upon
I marrying an alien. This Bren-
1 ham woman married an alien
t immigrant, who later took out
his citizenship papers. The law
under which her citizenship’ Was
Hl taken away from her was re-
pealed, but her citizenship was
not restored. So noW, she is not
a citizen of her own country nor
!' . of her husband's native land,
cither. So she becomes a "wom-
an Without a country. .
