CHRISTMAS SEAL SALE
FOR TtJBERCULERS TO

s>
IrKf'
President Hoover has the following
to say in regard to the Tuberculosis
Christmas Seal Sale: "The Christ-
mas Seals of the National Tubercu-
' lokis Association which are sold at
Christ,mas time every year provide
funds for one of the most valuable
el aff services to mankind in helping
to prevent and destroy a disease that
threatens millions of homes and wea-
kens. millions pf the children and
youth of the Nation. 1 commend this
yearly campaign to all ou^ people."
The Texas Tuberculosis Associa-
tion • is conducting the sale of Tuber-
culosis Seals throughout Texas and
they are the only means of financing
the fight' against the1 great white
plague. Although the deaths ■ from
tuberculosis have , been more than cut
in half during the past 25 years but
between the ages' of 15 to 40, tuber-
culosis is still the leading cause of
.death. The work of the Texas Asso-
ciations will be concentrated on this
age group an the children.
Tuberculosis doea, not .recognize
any. economic conditions and at times
.en Ah at: wp n ft Wjrj*iT*Ci „. Hfliit IS 11%
eprative that the sale should ihcrdaee
in order that the .Texas Tuberculosis

TO RAISE QUOTA
Crosbyton Merchants Must
Co-operat$ With Farmers

ry Will Result
«■ An Editorial
Ralls and Lorenzo have completed
their Intermediate Credit Bank and
have made application for^ charter.
The Corporation will have a capital
stock of $35,000. Crosbyton did not
go in because they could not raise
the money. This, it seems to the Re-
view, indicates onewf twq things.
Crosbyton either has not the money
or else the majority of her citizen-
ship are not interested in the move-
ment. It seems incredible that the
foi-nier could be the reason and in
that event 't is evident that the lat-
ter must.be the cause of its seem-
ing defeat.
•More than a month ago it became
evident that, because of our crop fai-
lure, our county would need some ...fin-
ancial assistance other than what we
could supply. Consequently the three
towns started to. work on a county
wide Intermediate Credit Bank.,
Crosbyton, like she has always done
under like condition!} in putting over
big things, launched into the move-
ment with a vim and subscribed more
than .$13,000 of her $15,000 quoto, but
after repeated .calls only about $3,(>00
of this amount has been paid i$.
We do not" profess to know the
cause of this change of sentiment in
our people, They may have a good
reason for not continuing to carry;on
their part of the obligation to a suc-
cessful ending. The Review d.< s not
know, but we feel sure that you will
agree with us that the Intermediate
Credit Bank will be worth two or
three times the amount one puts in it
and besides you will secure your stock
money back and possibly with inter-
est.
1 We wonder if the business men of
Crosbyton. realize fully the gravity of
our situation if we let Ralls and Lo-
renzo organize the corporation with-
out being a pari of it ourselves, ol,
if not that, the organization of a si-
miliar organization locally. Some-
thing like $3000 of the $3600 that has
been paid in came from the, farmers
of the Crosbyton - trade territory, as
investigation has shown. The mer-
chants it seems have not kept faith
GETg^BIG BUCK
Crosbyton hunters for big game
arrived home Friday from , Mason
county where they had been the past
week in search of big game. While
there was only one buck killed, all
had a fine outing and enjoyed the
trip hugely, Edgar Allen said on his
return to the city. ' I
Thinking that perhaps Mrs. Allen |
would be troubled and lonesome on'
acAurtt of his delayed return, Edgar
said he decided that he would come
on back home, even though he di'i
not get the buck he threatened t;>
before he left. A. D. Caldwell, bro-

Farmers Plant More Wheat
and Feed and Landlords
Push Good Work ^
■ ■'</>. ..V
Henry Robinson expressed the be-
lief here Tuesday'that the cotton crop
in the Crosbyton trade territory
wtmld be cut 30 per cent next year.
Mr. Robinsjon bases his conclusions
©n" the amount of wheat that has
been sown a ltd what the farmers tell
him in^his.immediate, neighborhood.
The farmers*out his way are going
to .p^t irv- moj?e feed along with tfteir
wheat and a* little cotton they will
realize more pff their crop than they-
would if they had all their crop in
cotton, he said-
The good part of it, Mr. Robinson
said, is the fict that the landlords
are now willing for the rentersjto
cut down on meir cotton acreage and
put in feed, have their hogS,-coWs,
chickens and live at home. With this
kind of program the farmers, of Cros-
by county with a good crop will cottie
out of their financial embarrassment
in one year.
