President Sasiif®^ Delivers
Strong Addresses Her@o
-Crosby ton was honored by a
yisit Saturday evening and Sun-
day from President J. D. Sandi-
fer of Simmons College, Abilene,
one of the best known educators
in the state.
■It' had been previously an-
nounced that he would deliver
an address at the flag service in
the Baptist church Sunday night,
and before his arrival he was
prevailed upon and agreed to
make a speech at the court house
Saturday night in the interest of
the election of Gov. Hobby. At
the appointed time the court
room was filled with men and
women eager to hear him on the
issues involved in the race for
governor. He was introduced by
Judge Pink L. Parrish and at
once began to express ;his pref-
erence in strong terms and to
- show his hearers why they should
vote against Ex-Gov. Ferguson
and for <€ov. Hobby, and from
the applause he received it was
plain to see his audience was
with him on'this issue.
Sunday morning he delivered
an address at the flag service at
Ralls and in the afternoon ' ad-
dressed a similar service at Cone,
Returning to Crosbyton and de-
livered a very strong patriotic
address at the flag service in the
Baptist church, Not all who came
for the service could get seats in
the church, but those who heard
him were ' hi^IiIy piBci^od with
the address.
The flag service was beautiful.
Four stars were placed upon the
flag in honor of the four mem-
bers of this church who are now
• in the army, namely:" Quincy L.
Hames, L. 0. Cox Jr., Ted Cox
and W. Loyd Baker.

"Honor- Roll" Gardens. 7.
The Review stated last week
that commencing with this issue
we would give a write-up each
week of some garden of merit
and would start with a sod gar-
den, so here goes. We have heard
of several sod gardens and from
0UiTthe looks of the two that we will
mention we seen no reason for
any one not to have a garden,
even if sod land is their - only
chance. The first garden is that
of our neigbhor Mrs. Ballowe.
Her entire vard was plowed up
and pulverized last fall. A few
fruit trees were put out in it and
in the early spring she . began
to garden in the back part of
the yard and has been steadily
encroaching upon her space until
now she has something growing
right up by the side of her res-
idence, and it is all looking well.
An inventory of the growing
vegetables shows lettuce, beans,
squash, tomatoes, sweet potatoes,
strawberries and the finest kind
of cabbage.
The second sod garden is that
of David E. Aynes. We had
heard considerable favorable
comment upon this garden, ancj
I to see what it looked like we
J paid it a special visit Tuesday
! afternoon. We found it as re-
Texas Has More Than
34,256 Young ien of Age.
Washington, June 14. —Nearly
complete report to the marshal
general's office show that 744,-
865 young Americans who be-
come of age during the past year
registered for military servic on
June 5. This is 266,724 below the
estimate of the census bureau,
but since some more than 200,000
unregistered 21-year-olds already
are enlisted in the army, navy or
marine corps, the mslitary auth-
orities find the result entirly sat-
isfactory.
Army and navy estimates place
the number of 21-year men en-
listed at 208,588. This figure com-
bined with falling off in alien
regisration, gives a total of 353,-
686, which means that the cen-
sus bvreauaqparentlp missed the
number of eligibles by only
13,000.
Texas' wheat crop will not ex
ceed 8,000,000 bushels, according
to an official estimate sent out
by the food administration Mon-
day from Austin, This is 4,000,-
000 short of the normal crop and
the administration predicts that
the "fifty-fifty" plan, under six
pounds per person der month is
allowed, provided an equaj
amount of subsuitutes is pur-
chased, likely will remain in
fdet throughont the year.

back yard and on this he now
has growing some of as line veg-

sisting of lettuce, tomatoes, car-
rots, pepper, sweet peas? cucum-

beans. His beans deserve special
mention. From two rows thirty
feet long he gathered thirteen
pounds of choice beans within
two days. They are loaded down
with pods and bid fair^to make
more beans than he will know
what to do with. To see his gar-

all that is necessary to raise veg-

proper energy mixed with a- little

Section 72 has been amended
so as to vitally affect registrants
of recent marriage. It provides
that the resultant dependency
from the marriage of the regis-
trant who has become 21 since
June 5th, 1917, and who has
married since Jan. 15, 1918, will
be disregarded as a ground for
deferred classification. Also that
the claim of dependency of the
registrant reaching 21 since June
5, 1917, and who married af ter
May 18, 1917, but previous to
Jan. 15, 1817, will be disregarded
unless the dependent is a child
of the marriage, born or unborn,
on or prior to June 9, 1918, in
which case such registrant on
satisfactory proof will be placed
in class 2. Also that the claim of
dependency of the registrant at-
taining 21 previous t© June 5,
1917, and who has married since
May 18, 1917, will be disregarded
as a claim for deferred classifica-
tion unless the dependent is a
child, born or unborn, on or be-
fore June 9, 1918, in which case
on proper proof he will be placed
in claim 2. This will necessitate
re-classification of several regis-
trants in this county and the
Local Board is proceeding to do
so this week. No registrant will
be reclassified until he has re-
ceived notice to appear and show
cause why he should not be so re-
classified;" All" registrants whor
married since May 18, 1917, and
who registered June 5, 1917, will
be affected by this amendment,
