VIORE COLOR IN BORGER
CROWDS ATTEND
BAMTKrt SKttVlCRS
One ol° the best Raster service#
ever held in Borger was reported
from all the churches in the city,
there being exceptionally large
crowd? attending.
The First Baptist church of Bor-
ger was crowded for both morning
and evening services. Professor Paul
Smith and his orchestra furnished
the music for the services in connec-
tion with the church choir led by
11. K. Henderson.
The church was beautifully decor-
ated with Raster lillies furnished by
the Sinith-Buutiii Floral shop.
Expressions of thanks were offer-
ed to Grady Thompson. C. H. Stahl
and II. J. Bnell who contributed lib-
erally for a new system of electric
j lights for the church.
S The program for the morning hour
was as follows:
I Doxology,
Invocation.
j Gloria Pane. by the choir.

Special quartet.

Offertory,
Duet,
Sermon by the pastor, Kev. A. F.
Johnson. "The Second Sunday after
Resurrection." K'ening sermon.
"Tlu Hungry Lad."
Three additions were taken into
the church.
At the Methodist church, eleven
additions were received. One of the
largest crowds for the past year was
reported by Reverend Carter, pastor
of the church. The program for the
morning service was as follows:
Special music by the choir.

At the Presbyterian, special mu-
sic was rendered for the Easter ser-
mon and in the evening, the Sunday

Recess means more to the
school children than before,
and housewives are more par-
ticular about the condition of
their husband's feet than they
were a few weeks ago.
Several women in Borger
have expressed their desire to
plant flowers around their
homes, and a few have been
handicapped in their plans. It
seems that chickens in some
sections stray into neighbors'
yards and play havoc with
lawns. Lack of enclosures for
stock has been mentioned as
detrimental to flower raising.
These two faults could prob-
ably be easily remedied, if
•.hose so troubled would call

critical moment."
The situation continued critical for
another two days. Then six British
divisions arrived from the Sonime,
giving relief. The morning of April
12 the Germans attacked along an
eight kilometer front from Merville
north- Haig's front had little depth,
but the Tommies and the handful of
Americans held the line until the aft-
ernoon of the thirteenth when rein-
forcements arrived and the line was
closed to Hazebrouck.
After three more days, the battle
died down. Like the Sonime attack,
it had been indecisive, but the Ger-
mans had placed themselves in pos-
ition which threatened the important
ports of Dunkirk and Calais.
The doughboys, carried along In
the din and thunder of the attack,
were inconsequential elements in the
factors that turned the tide, but they
acquitted themselves in a manner
that was Indicative of what could
be expected of the khaki-clad troops
pouring in through Brest.

"As a democrat who has always

observing the historic attitude of the
party should definitely stand for the
enforcement of organic laws, upon
which depends, as well, religious lib-
erty. freedom of the press and the
protection of personal and property
rights.
Mi. Henry in quoted in a Hous-
ton newspaper as saying that prohi-
bition is not an issue in this cam-
paign. and that he wishes to make
it plain that the real friends and
! supporters of Smith in Texas cannot
and will not allow the insertion of a
bone-dry plank in the platform, but
assures us that us Ions; as the eigh-
teenth amendment Is on the books,
Governor Smith will insist on its
enforcement.
"If the latter statement be true,
no candidate or his friends who so
believe should object to a deelara-
i tlon for the support of the eighteenth
j amendment, and nobody is going to

friends who oppose' such a plank
