McDADE, Oct. 2—As you drive on
the highway now you can see the
lovely Golden Rod in bloom and other
wild flowers to cheer us.
We learned that peanut harvesting
is getting under way and am sure the
farmers are hoping the weather will
stay good.
Mrs. J. V. Fowler is visiting her
daughter and family at Eden, Texas
at this time.
Mrs. Frank Zilker of Houston came
up Sunday for a visit with her sister,
Mrs. Ada Wroe.
Miss Mary Louise Ernst is fortun-
ate in that she is privileged to spend
each week-end at home. She had as
her guest Miss Betty Cook and they
attended the football game at Gid-
dings Friday night.
We were sorry to learn Mrs. Ger-
... or adding refreshment to a backyard barbecue
One of the secrets of any successful home barbecue is plenty of ice-cold
Coca-Cola. Everybody enjoys its life, sparkle and refreshment. Plan to have
frosty bottles of “Coke” ice-cold and ready to drink. When you shop, remem-
ber to ask for Coca-Cola. Everywhere, Coca-Cola stands for the pause that
refreshes,—-has become a high-sign of hospitality in the American home.

these aims the inspector goes around
• each morning at the opening of school
and grades each pupil on the point
' system. The points are added or
subtracted as the grader assesses
them, 5 points each for combed hair,
clean hands, clean finger nails, and
a clean handkerchief; ten points for
brushed teeth.
To reach the aims for correct
speech a blunder box is kept in the
room. Whenever a pupil or the
teacher hears another make a blund-
er in the wrong use of Grammar the
mistake is written down and put in
the box.
On each Friday evening after the
last Recess the blunders are read and
the health scores are added up. The
two students that have made the most
blunders during the week and the
two that have lowest scores in health
points have a choice of being convict-
ed by the club to furnish the enter-
tainment or of being reproved by Mr.
Wied himself. Then games are also
played ’till four.
This has already proven interest-
ing, entertaining, and beneficial and
should bear fruit in later life. Club
also teaches democracy in that Mr.
Wied is also himself subject to the
grading in health habits and correct
speech and is also subject to the same
conviction by the club.

and otherwise, and to maintain habits

chase. Of course we know you al-
ways sell thru the Courier want ads,
but this little home advertising would
be fine.
Fair sized crowds attended both
the morning and evening services at
the Church of Christ Sunday. If you
are interested in studying the Bible
you are invited each Lord’s day, 'and
on Wednesday night, each week. In-
teresting lessons are outlined by the
minister. Come, bring your New
Testament, a note book and pencil.
You’ll be benefitted.

the week-end, her children, Mr. and
Mrs. Berry Akin and baby, of San

gin Courier; also Mrs. Bobbett and

time during the war and is expected
to remain “tight” for from one to
two years after the collapse of Ger-
many, the Office of War Information
reports, on the basis of facts suppli-
ed by the War Production Board and
Foreign Economic Administration.
Production is insufficient to meet
military and civilian demands,' and
the market is short in basic types of
cotton fabrics used in low-cost gar-
ments. The Pacific war will require
more cotton as the basic military
clothing staple, whereas wool has
been heavily used in Europe. Cotton
fabrics such as certain denims and
chambrays will continue to be needed
by the military, and cotton duck is
now on the urgent list. During the
first six months after the fall of Ger-
many the United Nations Relief and
Rehabilitation Administration is ex-
pected to ask for 300 million yards
of cotton textiles, and the food in-
