Calf Creek, Texas, Feb. 18.—We
are wondering if this winter is not
what older folks term “an ol' time
winter”. It seems that every north-
er gets just a little colder.
Farming is progressing rather
slowly, as a day every now and
then is all the farmers get in.
The Home Demonstration Club
met Friday afternoon at the school
house. Mrs. Cody Bradshaw was
elected vice president to fill the
place vacated by Mrs. John Lee.
am he president gave an interesting
‘kersson on cleanliness and demon-
strated the mixing of several in-
expensive lotions, cold creams, etc.
The report of the County Council
was given and recorded. Most
everyone is glad that clothing will
be the work in place of yard work.
Those present were Mmes. Bryan
Bradshaw, John Bradshaw, Bill
Duncan, Jack Wood, C. Davenport,
Tom Bingham, Neff Bingham and
Jim Alexander. The members re-
solved to try their best and meet
the goals set forth and to make
the best of their work.
The club will meet Friday, Feb-
ruary 28, at the home of Mrs.
Claude Bradshaw, where the dem-
onstration agent will be present
and give a lesson on bed clothing.

"There might be some edible
crows in the county—I notice that
Pano Karr says the whitebeaked
kind is alright, that they used to
eat them in Greece—but I have
observed that virtually all of our
crows are of the blackbeaked vari-
'ty,” W. I. Marshall, county agent,
explained.
Armadillo Or Skunk For Dinner?
Some San Angeloans might have
gasped when they read about those
"misguided” folks at Tulsa, Okla.,
eating crow meat and lauding it as
a delectable food. But many negro,
Mexican and other families in this
section laud armadillo meat as
more tasty than pork. If you doubt
that the properly cooked steaks of
this armor-plated pest are “good
eating,” just ask John P. Lee or J.
M. Pfluger, two of the county’s
work in killing off insects. It is
debatable, some times, whether the
crow is more harmful than bene-
ficial, according to the county a-
gent.
There are several crow traps
which are in general use now.
Crows have been electrocuted in
wholesale quantities recently in
some sections.
J. E. Boog-Scott, Jr., biological
survey representative with head-
quarters in the federal building
here, will instruct in methods of
trapping and killing crows.

Tuesday morning at 5:30 o’clock,
the last great call came for out
best loved friend and neighbor,
Miss Louise House. She suffered
a heart attack after a spell of
intestinal flu and having already
paid the great price of sacrificing
herself for her friends and loved
ones and in doing her duty by her
work to the very limit of her
physical strength, she was not able

came Tuesday to help the friends |
in their last loving task of making
her ready for burial and was very
kind and considerate in attending
to all funeral arrangements, and

flowers.
Rev. R. H. Foster, pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church of
Brownwood, came into the home
at noon Wednesday and in his
kind and gracious way brought
much comfort and peace to the be-
reaved family and friends. He
conducted the funeral services at
the home and remained to help
with the burial at Cox Cemetery.
Music was rendered by the
friends who by joining that choir
could help to express their love
