Tiicd a prayer lately
Sad indeed is the fact that the
world is in a constant state of war
and our young men must be called
upon to preserve those God given
freedoms that are the rights of
every man.
Why are these men sacrificing
fo much for us? How can we help
While w6 pray for theitt let us
Include a prayer for the nation
as suggested in Joel 2:17. Joel said
there would come a time when we
would be forced to pray, "Spare
thy people, O Lord, and give not
thine heritage to reproach, that
the heathen should rule over them:
wherefore should they say among
the people, Where is their God?"
Jaycee banquet
The Claude Jaycees did the im-
possible Monday evening. They
managed to accomodate 215 guest
in a cafeteria that is supposed to
seat only 150. Of course I got my
elbow in my neighbor's pie and
sat down in a ladies lap once but
otherwise managed fine. Elbows
occasionally clashed but that hap-
pens in the best of society.
I'm joking of course. It was one
of the nicest banquets held in
Claude in a long time. The ladies,
representing' the Warner Commun-
ity Center did a masterful job in.

come a displaced Texan from Geo-
rgia. Why didn't you just take
your Scotch and leave the rain-
water with us?" I forgot! He can't
drink Scotch any more! Hut, you
can have the rain water if you'll
just tell me where you left your
Scotch??
Hut closes his letter with, "Well,
I hope you monkeys are well and
contracted for 40 or 50 more years
along with the rest of us earth-

Town tragedies
A couple weeks ago I pointed out
that the Texas Highway Depart-
ment had handed out death war-
rants to Groom Shamrock, Mc-
Lean and Vega. The highway is
Soon to by-pass their towns. Tills
week I ran across an interesting
little story in the Port Worth
Star-Telegram about Britton, Tex-
as, a small town by-passed by a
state highway. The story goes:
On Main Street, A1 Coble can
point to what used to be.
"The post office was over thera
across the street on the corner," he
said from the porch of his grocery
store-service station. "And, the
hotel used to be down there by the
county road."
Britton is now a town of about
200 in southeast Tarrant County.
The post office, the hotel, the
hardware store, .the ice house, the
phone company office, the mer-
cantile store and the cotton gin,
all are closed now, Coble said, and
most of the buildings are gone.
"We started dying when the
highway by-passed us," C>'ole con-
tinued. "We used to be a good
sized little town.
"We were on Highway 34, which
ran from Mansfield, up to Fort
Worth and down to Midlothian. It
was a busy road and this was a
busy town." ~
Battle of the hair oils
Mothers, if you find any hair
oil bottles hidden around your
son's room, better get rid of them
quickly. According to TV they are
apt to make you grandma before
your time.
Dear Uncle Claude
I am moving to Florida to live
with my son, Jimmy Wootten and
family. I don't want to miss The
Claude News. I enjoy reading it so
much, altho I don't know too
many people there any more.
I received my "History of Arm-
strong County" and have enjoyed
it very much. I was disappointed -

Poll (ax
Better pick up your poll tax now
the federal government is trying
to 'take away from us. I'd rather
pay a poll tax in the hope it
helps keep political bosses from
running-over elections, than to
see them register cemetery-votes.
It has been done, you know, even
with a poll tax, but it is a little
more costly this way.
Anyway, pay your poll tax.

and a substantial increase in production on dry land
and irrigated crops!
TIIE COMPLETE LIQUID FOLIAR PLANT FOOD NUTRIENT . . .
Leaf feeding is the most efficient method of fertiliza-
tion yet discovered. 95 per cent of tri-40 may be ab-
sorbed and utilized by the plant during the growth
season.
MORE YIELD PER ACRE
Foliage feeding with tri-40 when plant requirements
are the greatest will give you a substantial yield in-
crease. When you harvest your tri-40 sprayed crop,
be sure to check the actual increase.
BETTER QUALITY
Time and again growers report evidence of better
quality such as more protein, better color, less plant
disease, less plant chlorosis and less insect damage.
tri-40 provides the necessary nutrients needed by plants
EARLIER MATURITY
Get your crop to market earlier and get the high price.
Actual field reports show up to 2\ weeks earlier ma-
turity on tri-40 sprayed crops. The high phosphorous
content of tri-40 aids maximum grain development in
a shorter period of time.
