.. THE RUSK CHEROKEEAN ~
LETTERS FROM READERS
Austin, Texas,
March 18, 1935.
Editor of The Cherokeean,
Rusk, Texas,
Dear Sir:
Perhaps you are not aware of the
fact, but it is custormary for small
town newspapers to print enthusias-
tic stories concerning '"home town
boys who made good". It has been
our great sorrow to note that you
have seemingly neglected this tradi-
tinal duty for some time. Because of
this obvious neglect we have taken
the opportunity to submit to your
generous approval one suggestion.
That suggestion is: that you revive
home town interest by running an
article, at least twice a month, tell
ing of the worthy deeds and accom-
plishments of some noble son of
Rusk.
The foivgoing suggestion could be
put into effect very easily. As we are
ardent readers of your paper we feel
that we are able to point out t0 you
the possibilities of running- in such
an article. For instance, you could,
with out much trouble, leave out tbe
weekly accocunt of the "Ladies Poker
Club", or whatever commendable or-
ganization exists, and run the article
on the home town boy. The latter
would be of interest to everyone
whereas the former delights the
hearts of only a select few. Or, better
still, you might omit enough of the
personals to provide room for an
article which wuld be read by every-
one, including those wh0 do nothing
spectacular enough to get their name
in the paper.
Please do not think that this is a
criticism, it is merely a simple sug-
gestion. In case you do decide to ac-
quaint the people of Husk with the
aqc'jOimplishme trSs of the younget
people we would be more than glad
to supply you with the necessary in-
formation concerning them, at least
those who arc at the University of
Texas.
Thank you if you even read this.
We remain, ^
Sincerely yours,
Jack Guinn,
Tom Frazer, Jr.
We invite our readers, including
Messers. Guinn and Frazier, to let
us know about the "home town boy
wh0 makes good in the city or the
university." When the publicity de-
partments of the schools or institu-
tions fail to send us the "dope," and
when the boys themselves are entirely
to0 modest, how can we possibly look
through the haze and find out what
they've done, especially as we are
new people in this city and county.

FLASHES
By M. R. M.
There is a school in Washington
which teaches its students in the
time-honored (and likewise dis honor-
ed) profession of marriage. One
course, for instance, is "Intricacies
of Wooing, or How to Become En-
gaged in Six Weeks."
But'the wordly wise in an age of
such crass materialism cannot but
ponder whether a dipoma from such
a college helps it graduates get a job
as readily is the ordinary diploma
speeds its recipents on the way to ec-
onomic security?

about the .dictators is that, barring
Hitler alone, every one of them is a

OF CHEROKEE COUNTY
A HISTORY OF CHEROKEE
COUNTY (TEXAS). By Hattie
Joplin Roach. Dallas: Southwest
Press.—From the Dallas News.
Well, why not? You know, even
lawyers have to be educated for their
courtship. Then too, the lawyer gets
a degree or passes a bar exam to
learn how to unknot them after the
tangle; so why shouldn't prospective
matches be just as well prepared.
Down in the briny deep they have
schools of fish, so why not for hardy
land-lubbers have a school of poor
fish.
This is nothing new under the sun
Last summer we read of a similiar
course being taught at Bluffton col
lege, Ohio. The name of the college
had nothing to do with the course.
It is a far-cry from the half-morocx
co subscription volumes containing
elaborate biographies and steel en-
gravings of affluent bankers, lumber-
men and retired farmers (inserted at
$25 "with cut;" $15 without), to this
really admirable history of an East '
Texas county from the hand of Mrs.
Roach. It avoids the common boasting
of "prominent citizens" actually to
record the names, and often the cuts,
of the real empire builders—"dirt
farmers," carpenters and blacksmiths
—the actual conquerors of the wild-
erness.
Chex-okee County is chiefly known
by its two largest towns, Rusk and
Jacksonville. Although it lies in a
portion of Texas settled in the 1830s
the whistle of the railroad did not]
startle its citizens till 1872. It is a
county with a considerable variety
of resources in addition to its soil.
Here around 1890 New Birmingham
was boomed and nearly $4,000,000 in
vested to exploit its iron, coal, lime-]
stone and timber. A Texas Pittburgh ]
seemed realized when the panic of i
1893 wrecked all. From that date in-
'dustry lay buried till "Dad" Joiner
opened the Etex oil fields and gave ]
Cherokee her second chance. When'
the book went to press the county
boasted twenty-two producing wells.
While Cherokee County may have
cause to mourn her loBt industrial
possibilities, her nonmaterial' products
have been her glory. Cherokee was
the home of two Governors, James
Stephen Hogg and Thonjas Mitchell
Campbell. To claim "Jim" Hogg is
alone sufficient honor for one county.
Cherokee is one of the few Texas
counties which have as yet received
s'rious attention by a historian. Mrs.
Roach has given a splendid story of
its economic, cultural, eductional
and religious development. It is a
real history and not a mere frothing
of parochial self-esteem. The publish-
er has aided the author by making
the volume attractive, the cuts being
clear, although in many cases taken
from very old photographs.

Continental offers you better lubrication for modern cars
—an * Alloyed Oil with twice the film strength of other oils!
„ GERM^t
|PRQCESStD|
^JOTOR OIL
Alloyed by the
Patented
Germ Process
Just as the metallurgist adds
small a mounts of other
metals to make special alloy
steels, so we add small quan-
tities of concemrated oily
essence to highly refined,
paraffin base motor oil. This
Germ Processing, discovered
and patented by Continental
scientists, gives Conoco
Germ Processed Motor Oil
lubricating qualities no
other oil has.
IT'S hard to realize how improved cars of
the '30s are over those we drove ten years
ago. We are in a new automobile era! Power
and speed have almost doubled in a decade,
with little increase in motor size.
Increased power has brought enormous in-
creases in bearing pressures and crankcase
temperatures. In making motor parts that will
stand up under these severe conditions, car
manufacturers have turned to new alloy metals
of extra strength and durability. I'or the same
reason, you must have oil with enough extra
oiliness and film strength to protect your motor
under extreme pressures!
Yet motor oils generally have no more oili-
ness and film strength now than they had ten
years ago. New refining methods have recently
come into use to make oils free from carbon
and sludge. But these new refining processes
have actually lowered instead of increased oili-
ness and film strength!
There is one exception—Conoco Germ Pro-
cessed Motor Oil. It, too, is free from carbon
and sludge troubles, as its users know after
millions of trouble-free miles of driving. But
more important, Timken machine tests prove
that the new Germ Proccss* puts into this oil
2 to 4 times the film strength o( any straight min-
eral oil! That extra film strength protects your
motor under the most extreme pressures and heat.
Germ Processing gives other valuable ad-
vantages. Because Germ Processed Oil pene-
trates and combines with metal surfaces, a
"Hidden Quart" stays up in your motor and
cuts down starting wear. Germ Processed Oil
gives longer mileage with greater motor pro-
tection, as proved by the famous Indianapolis
Destruction Test.
Plain mineral oils were all right ten years
ago—today they are becoming obsolete. Say
"O.K.—Drain"—fill with Conoco Germ Pro-
cessed Motor Oil and drive with the comfort-
able assurance that your oil meets your motor's
needs!
