What about a trade day for
Claude? Our merchants should
talk up a trade day for the town.
Claude, the best town between
Amarillo and Wichita Falls, wil.
get the Ozark Trail, if we guest
right. '
To-day is press day at the Pan-
handle Fair at Amarillo. We ex-
pect to go if Frank Jamison will
offer us the loan of a quarter to
get a "feed'' as he did at the Pan-
handle Press meet in the Spring

the Dast
... ffiKBii will help con-
siderable, even if they were a lit-
tle Jaie.' Row crops are taking
on new life, those that were plant-
ed late. The groand has been
thoroughly soaked and fall plow-
ing will be "a thing of beauty and
joy forever."
The Lakeview Promoter used
an original editorial from the
Claude News and credited it, to
"Exchange." -This is quite a
compliment on our ability as a
writer, for you know "Old Man
Exchange" writes some mighty
good "dope." In fact, he is the
author of the best editorials that
go down the pike.
We do not know the name of
the author but here it is. "There
is so much good in tho worst of us
and s<? much bad in the best of
us, that it hardly behooves any of
us to talk about the rest of us.
When the fashions reach that
stage that a person is properly
attired with a necklace, two but-
tons and a parasol only, we will
have the consolation of knowing
that our dress bill will be consid-
erably reduced.
Editor Joe Wan-en of the Clar-
endon News was showing his
smiling countenance to t h c
Claude News force last Friday.
Joe said those quads and spaces
he promised us were forthwith
wming, which squared him with
the force. It's like this, we have
five full cases of new 10-point
type, and only enough spaces ant!
quads for t hree cases. You know
how it peeves a printer to run out
of spaces in making the "home
run" in a rush on press day.
Some wise person has discover-
ed that it is unhealthy for two
persons to occupy one bed; later
another found out it was unsafe
to ride in a car with other people,
or to attend church where other
people attend. Others say to
kiss is to tempt death in all man-
ner of hideous diseases. The lat-
est is from a French scientist who
says the practice of handshaking
is a prolific sourcc of spreading
disease. If things keep up it will
be unhealthy to be buried in the
same graveyard with other people.
The only place a person can feel
absolutely safe from disease or
getting run over is :o stop in a
store that does not advertise.

Popular at Fair
There were two things about
the Panhandle State Fair thai
makes us happy. One is that in-
teresting and well arranged exhibit
of Armstrong county products hy;
Mrs. Scott Laycock. She has ar-
ranged a picture of a model farm
about four feet square out of our
products; it shows the crops grow- you ,lesire t0 interesl' an<J will

has refused an offer of $10 Tor the

is made entirely of corn, while
the words "Armstrong County"
is placed in a conspicious place.
The exhibit is well arranged, and !
the crowds standing in front of j
the booth make passage almost
impossible.
The other thing that pleases
us is the favorable comment upon
the paper written and read by
Miss Laura Hamner at the old
settlers' reunion on Wednesday.

paper Miss Hamner was re-elect-

The following unsigned letter
reached our Sanctum-Sanctorium
yesterday morning: "Dear Wag-
goner, please send ine a dollar's
worth of the Claude News for the
inclosed check. Throw in a back
number or two so I will not get
my records out of line. Hope ev-
erything is well with you and the
Claude people generally." The
check, however, was signed R. J.
C raft, so both letter and check
ire worth one hundred cents on
the dollar. Mr. ('raft, formerly,

south of the Cash Store. It will
be 25 x 70 feet. Mr. Averitt

cost of erecting one brick wall.
This is just a stater of what we
may expect in the building line
during the winter months. Ust

business houses went up in Claude.
They were all constructed with
brick and concrete, making them
practically fire-proof Throughout.
