Armstrong Co.
Organizes Game
Preserve, Sept. 7
A group of Armstrong County
farmers and ranchmen met In
Claude. Tuesday, Sept. 7th and
organized the Palo Duro Game
Management Association. This as-
sociation is in cooperation with
the Texas Extension Service under
the leadership of the County Agent
and Is a federation of independent
landowners bunded together for
the purpose of conducting a uni-
fied program in the interest of
Wildlife conservation and propaga-
tion.
The preserve embodies 68.000
acres of land, most of which lies
in the Palo Duro Canyon. The
west end of this preserve joins
the East end of the Palo Duro
State Park. There are quite a few
native wild deer in the Preserve,
and a great number of quail. The
association has in mind of stock-
ing the preserve with wild turkey
and other wild game. There are
twenty large tank:; located within
the Preserve, some of which have
fish in them and the other tanks
will be stocked. This preserve is
ideally located and should become
a game paradise.
Game Preserve Markers are be-
ing made and will be posted at all
pates and along all roads around
the Preserve.
The association membership is
composed of Tenill Christian. Don
B. Ransom, Horace Baker, Newton
Harrell, Jones R. Christian, Roy
Ransom and J. T. Christian.

FORMER CLAUDE GIRL AND

Miss Annie Mae Henderson and

Accompanied by a party of friends
they drove from Albuquerque tc
Los Lunas, N, M. where the cere-

Dame Nature Ls a most fickle
lady. Two and three years ago she
swept havoc and despair in her
wake, across the western plains In
what we term the "dust bowl."
Winds carried away as much top
soil as the floods of the Mississippi
could in a thousand years. Well
can we remember the death and
destitution those dust storms
caused, and this year of blessed
rains has given us cause to be
thankful that there was no repe-
tition of this sad occurrence. The
plains have been given n chance
to grow crops and grass with an
abundance. But let not man undo
what Nature has done for him. Let
him not forget those years of fam-
ine In the season of plenty. To put
into wheat the acres of ground
that have been planted with spec-
ial grasses that keep the soil in
place and which guard against dust
winds, to allow sheep to graze and
destory the grass roots on this
land, is to court a return of dis-
aster. The farmer has learned his
lesson and surely realizes the re-
sults of drouth. Conservation work
has proven effective and rain has
been kind, but it behooves all of
us here about Claude not to forget
the waste lands, emaciated cattle
and disheartened men. Nature has
given her "dust attentions" to the
west in the past. She may turn
to the middle west and Atlantic i
coast the next time, for one never | -supervision of l P. Smith. Voen- j

ONE OF US
Have you ever noticed that big
city papers have long ago ceased
to poke fun at the small town be-
cause of its easy-going way of liv-
ing and the very naturalness of itr
rural resident? The best explana-
tion ls that a large number of the
men editing dallies In b's c'tles
originally came from small towiu
like Claude. They know the con-
ditions that exist and when they
reach the large city they miss thi
human touch. Of cour^c we art
apt 'o know more about our neigh
bor's finances and our children's
love-affairs, but let anyone in the
family get siek and the whole
neighborhood Is on hand to help.
In many a crowded city folks don't
know their next-door neighbor's
name! Folks aren't allowed to suf
fer from pain, hunger or lowliness
If most of our small town friendi
know about It. Lacking all the
kindliness of a small town is no
doubt what makes city editors
lot more generous in Utelr "kid-
ding" of the small town, for ha
sees the difference between the

I're-view Of London's Balloon Barrage
Trade's Day last week drew a I
smaller crowd than usual, possibly
due to several reasons that will
later be ironed out
This small crowd was possibly
due to the Fair, lack of advertis-
ed bargains, and no intertainment
of any kind offered.
The merchants of Claude are
still attempting to stock their
shelves with things people of this
trade territory want ar.-l need but
due to the lack of advertising
specials they failed to draw any-
one to their store. Special: are
always a good drawing card and
outweighed and yet fighting, scrap- Pe°l)le are more apt lo buy a
ping every step of the way for 00 specially advertised price articl
long minutes and with the ferocity
of their purpose and the zeal of
their charges driving a mighty
team far down the field time after
time and sticking to the singleness
of an attack that would not be
gainsaid.
With all fairness to Wink and to
Hobbs, we say that Wink, although
they had a good football team, was
not a five touchdown better club
than the Eagles Hobbs was merely
bucking circumstances that could
not be altered.
Last night's loss was not a dis-
grace for Hobbs. For Hobbs high
school or for any team in United
States to have beaten Wink last
night would have been an almost
sheer impossibility
Last night's contest was not
merely a football game—it was the
fulfillment of a pledge—the attain-
ment of a vow to a mate that
had "gone on." It was a game de-
dicated to the memory of Jack
Rutherford, a Wink athlete who
just a few weeks ago "crossed the
divide" into the land of that "last
Great Scorer who writes against
your name."
Neither Hobbs nor any school
could have stemmed the tide last
night, so worked lip with the in-
tensity of a purpose were those
Wink football men. Every Wildcat
player went on the playing field
with a black ribbon In his head-
gear, and tears in his eyes—In
every heart the determination to
do or die. With every play dedicat-
ed to a fellow whom they had all
known and loved, naturally there
could be but one ultimate outcome
—victory, and that victory they
got!
So say we, "chins up Eagles—
we'll take the rest of them." .You
didn't lose to a better team, but
than just walk into your store and
look around.
Some form of entertainment will
possibly be given next Trade's Day.
October 29th. so that visitors in
town will have something to do
after shopping around. This en-
tertainment will be decided on at
a later date and announced thru
these columns.
The auction dropped consider-
albe last week and there are
many things people of this vicinity
have around the house that they
don't need and could turn into
ready cash if they would just take
the energy of bringing it down.
One of the best auctioneers in the
Panhandle handles the auction, so
there is no reason why it shouldn't
be one of the biggest auctions in
the Panhandle.
Merchants of Claude are again
asking your support throughout the
month and hope that you will
come and bring your friends next
Trade's Day for a big time mingled
with many bargains you will not
want to miss.
LOW FARM PRICES FOR
TOBACCO
The "Big Four" cigarette manu-
! facturers—Reynolds & Co., Ameri-
i car, Liggett & Meyers, and Loril-
laid—made profits of $83,449,000 in
11935. That was more than half as
I much as all the tobacco farmers
I in the country received for the
J entire crop during that year.
| The Securities and Exchange
I Commission had a very difficult
I time obtaining these figures. After
a j they were obtained, the Big Four"
went to court in an effort to com-
pel the Ccmmiss.on to keep them
scret. During the last five years
the Reynolds Company paid divi-
dends of $1,500 out of the product
of each worker cn its pay-roll. In
1933 George Washington Hill, Am-
erican, was paid in salary and
bonus $1,384,037. not counting div-
idends. That figures out at $24,-
693.02 a week. At $10 a week, which
is more than Hill's workers average
Hill could have paid the entire
v age bill out of his salary and
still have left $12,500 a week for
his personal needs.
The group bitterly opposed the
wage and hour law in Congress,
which will require them to pay the
workers a fair wage.
Tobacco farmers are going broke
and are unable to pay their bills.
Tobacco workers are being kept
alive by relief grants, but tobacco
manufacturers are making profits
so large that they are afraid to
let the public know about them
The tobacco tax, which is stiff,
doesn't have anything in the world
to do with prices, according to the
Department of Agriculture officials.
The tax has been in effect since
the World War.
Wages to the workers can be
doubled and the price paid to to-
bacco farmers could be doubled or
tripled and still leave the manu-
facturers a handsome profit.
A thorough investigation of the
tobacco trust is now being made,
and those being investigated are
claiming that the Government is
intefering in their business.—Cong
