Mr . R. L. Combs left Satur-

sick mother at Paris, Texas.
Mr. and Mrs. T. H. McKenzie

of this week.
Mrs. Jack Scales, Mrs. Lorene
Waggoner and Mrs. E. O. Worley

H. E. White, prominent man

Mrs. Ruth Reed, were attending
to business In Claude Monday.
J. J. Ray, of Goodnight, can-
didate for County Commissioner
of the Goodnight precinct, was in
Claude Monday on business.
Some very pretty weather this
week, but no rain to date. We are
asking the weather man to send
us three or four inches of rain.
We really need this moisture at
this time.
'l'iie clothes worn by winter vaca
Zionists usually are forerunners of
those which will be seen on
Reaches and in vacation camps dur-
ing tin- coming summer. The play
uit above, worn by Miss Francei
Jones at Miami, consisted of Tyro
lean in grey flannel shorts, a concar-
ucui red stiirt and peasant type bat.
George Giles, who has been a-
way from home for several
months, returned home Christmas
and is now assisting his father,
W. H. Oiles, in the City Shoe
Shop at Claude.
It has been well said that wo-
man, always styles conscious,
plunges head first into a new style
season, which means literally that
a new hat Is usually first in her
selections. Designers and fashion
pace-setters of millinery have been
scrambling wildly for weeks and
had first spring models on dis-
play before the holiday season end-
ed.
Off-the-face models have the
lead as this is written. The small
little creations have been shaped
from satins and ribbons and may
be worn with winter ensembles
without disrupting smartness. Such
early felts as have been shown
run to lighter colors and thereby
make their claim to being early
spring hats.
The hats shown in the sketch
above dispaly excellent uses of
satin and crosgrain ribbon. De-
signers agree that we may see
little Puritan poke bonnets de-
velop from the off-face styles at
on early date. The models shown
above are but forerunners of reg-
iments of new models now on
their way for the Spring season.

in, please call at the News Of-

gratulate you, and wish you well,
knowing that you need the money
and that congratulations will be
In order.

both boyr and girls in Claude

not without athletic interests, for
an extensive program has been j
launched by M. M. Carter, Physi-
cal Ed. Dir. in wrestling, boxing,
track, football, baseball and bas-
ketball.
At the present, much enthus-
iasm is being shown by the High
School boys in the wrestling e-
llmlnation contests. The sixty-two
High School boys are divided in-
to six classes according to weight
and nge, and since the boys are
so well matched, there arc some
very Interesting bouts. A very
remarkable feature Is that all the
boys are practicing.
Throughout the remainder of the

mits! the entire student body will
be engaged In some Intra mural
contests.

tlie possibilities at a good foot-

"ADVERTISE BOYS"
The Baptist ladles met with
Mrs. Turney for Bible study Wed-
nesday afternoon, January 10th
An interesting lesson was had on
First Chronicles. High points In
discussion centered around both
the good and evil events that
happened and during the reigns of
all of the Kings up to the divi-
sion of the Kingdom. Other facts
brought out were concerning the
prophets of tills period and their
influence on the government. The
women who are not attending
these meetings are missing some-
thing entirely worthwhile in Bible
study. Every first and second Wed-
nesdays of the month are Bible
Study days. On first Wednesdays
we meet at the church for both
Business metting and Bible study.
On second Wednesdays we always
meet in some one's home. The
lesson for next Bible study is
Second Chronicles.
Our next W. M. S meeting is
missionary study. The lesson is
the Introduction in the book. "Mis-
sions in the Bible". We meet In
the home of Mrs John J. Good-
ger. Be sure to come and be
on time at 2:30, Wednesday after-
noon. January 17th.—Mrs. I. II

ALWAYS AT YOUR SERVICE
The publishers of The Claude
News reiterate and emphasize the
fact that they are servants ol
the people—the people of Claude
and Armstrong county.
Common sense makes them know
that as such servants they must
cause their service in producing
The Claude News to be worth
more than it cost.
Many men in business or in
professional life have never studied
the art of successful advertising,
and are therefore unprepared to
produce the best kind of copy to
be used in advertising.
At this point is where The
Claude News can render a service
of great value.
Either call on us or phone us,
and we will assist you in pre-
paring copy for an advertisement
or for any kind of printing.

THE HOME-TOWN WEEKLY
By
Judge Jole E. Smith
When I was publishing a week-
'y newspaper in a small town,
>nd was beginning to educate all
he business men of my town in
the matter of having a message
appeal' in every week's issue, a
certain merchant told me the fol-
lowing as actual facts:
One evening when he reached
his home his wife showed him a
new coffee pot which she had
bought from a peddler, and for
which she paid one doflar. He
then said to her, "Yes, it is a
mighty good coffee pot, and I
have the same thing on my shelves
for sale at fifty cents."
This man had up to this time
steadily refused to spend a cent
in advertising, but after this epi-
sode he began to advertise, with a
substantial increase in his busi-
ness as a result.
From the above one can easily
understand, not only the value,
but the necessity, for every busi-
ness or professional man to have
a regular space in his town week-
ly, and through it send out a
weekly message to all the readers.
If the merchant or business man
is not prepared to write up or
produce the proper copy for the
advertisement, he should phone his
editor, who can always easily see
something that should be told to
all his readers for the upbuild-
ing of such man s business.
In other words, everyone who
deals with the public must be
constantly telling the public some-
thing about his goods and wears,
or about the service he renders.
All men who have greatly pros-
pered in business did so by keep-
ing in constant touch with the
public.

Due to the fact that many per-
sons were under the impression
that the way to get a Civil Works
Job was to get on the relief rolls,
there have unquestionably been
many new cases added to relief
with only the superficial investi-
gation which you were able to
make at the inception of the C
W. A. program.
I can not impress upon you
too strongly the absolute neces-
sity for careful investigation of
each case on the relief roll, es-
pecially new ones. It is your defi-
nate responsibility to see that no
person receives the benefit of these
funds (either Federal or State)
who is not in actual need thereof.
Persons with sufficient income
from any source to provide for
their substance cannot be given
relief.
You will please call your en-
tire relief staff together, read this
letter to them, and immediately
start a campaign to eliminate In-
eligible cases from your relief
rolls. Your intake department
should also be strengthened so
that no ineligible person can get
on the rolls—State Head C. W. A.

TODAY'S TW ON GOOD
GROOMING
By
Vera* DeBorde
At first thought the drinking of
plenty of water wouldn't seem the
moat effective method ol keep-
ing the skin moist and slightly
oily, but that's just what it does.
Drink six glasses a day. at least,
but not at meal time nor directly
Afterwords. Eat just a little more
buttery foods daily and, above all,
don't neglect the two clcanstngs
with cream and the laving with a
tissue food, every evening.
It is too easy to feel a little
listless in days of winter If ex-
ercise is limited and time is large-
ly spent within doors. Help to off-
set it by using a flesh brush when
bathing and drying with vigorous
strokes of the towels. Slap the
flesh of the body until It ting lee
with enlivened circulation. Duet
with a fragrant bath powder, and
all's right with the world.
