at Cowboys' Corner
This emergency loan situation has
caused us to have to buckle down to
the job harder than ever which is just
what we need and like but I have some
fears that I am not giving my club
boys and girls as much attention as I
should. But this emergency problem
will be closed up on April 30th, as no
more applications will be received af-
ter that date and then I can get around
to see our club members again. In
the meantime I want to ask parents
and teachers to keep the work fresh
in their minds and urge them to go
right along as we are much concerned
that club work in this county be worth
while this year. Boys and girls I am
counting on you. I will be around
again to see you as soon as possible.
Remember that you joined to see your
work through. Be sure to not disap-
point all oi us who are depending
upon you.

Mrs. Hannah Loretta
Aikin Dies at Midfield
Hannah Loretta Jewell, was born
June 9th, 1860, in Meigs County, O.,
and passed on at her home in Midfield,
Texas, March 11th, 1932, at the age
of 71 years, 9 months and 2 days,
after a short illness of four or five
weeks. She was one of seven child-
ren, five girls and two boys that came
to bless her father's home which was
in Ohio and Illinois during her child-
hood.
Later tho family moved to Kansas,
where she was married to Knox Milli-
gan Aikin, they started to build their
home in Phillips County, Colorado, at
Holoyoke, living for a time at Love-
land, Colo., during this time three
boys and three girls came to com-
plete their family circle.
In January, 1908, Mr. and Mrs. Ai-
kin brought their family to Texas.
They were true pioneers, and drove
through in covered wagons, camping
by the way and enduring many hard-
ships on this journey of some two
months. They settled at last on a
farm which adjoins the H. L. Brown
farm on the Tres-Palacios river, be-
tween Midfield and Blessing and across
from the Hawley Church. Mr. Aikin
was a school teacher as well as a
farmer, he taught the first school that
was ever taught in Midfield. After
his health began to fail, he devoted
his time to outdoor work, raising fruit
and vegetables, after a lingering ill-
ness during which his devoted wife
cared for him patiently, Mr. Aikin
passed on in November, 1916, the same
year that their son, Byron, died. It
was a coincidence that Byron Aikin
passed on March 11th, 1916 and that
his mother went to join him just six-
teen years later to the day.
This double blow of losing both
husband and grown son in the same
year did not daunt this brave hearted
mother. She moved to Midfield ..and
bought her a home, kept her children
in school and raised them all care-
fully. She has lived in Midfield for
fifteen years and has always taken an
active part in Church and school af-
fairs. She has been president of the
Woniens Missionary Society and of the
Parent-Teachers Association for sev-
eral years. For many years she has
been a Sunday School teacher, either
for the Bible Class or a class of girls,
and was rarely ever missing at a
Church service, either playing the
piano or singing and was a true Chris-
tian, who lived her religion in her
daily life.
As a nurse, she has gone into most
of the homes of her friends and taken
care of their sick, she loved babies
and was a grandmother to many child-
ren other than her own.
She loved people, both old and young
and spent much of her time helping
others less fortunate.
"I would rather wear out than rust
out," she would say. It can truly be
said of her life even as Paul said at
the close of his life, "I have fought a
good tight, I have finished the course,
henceforth is laid up for me a crown

Pessimism is merely a disease of the
mind. It places wrong construction
on what has happened and denies ab-

future. The pessimist is never happy.

A movement for better attention to
exactness and elegance of expression
in the English language in New York
schools is most commendable. Odd-
ly enough, the educator selected to
head this better English campaign
bears the decidedly un-English name
of Gustav Straubenmuller.

Joe E. Brown at the
Colonial, Bay City,
Sunday & Monday
COMEDIAN APPEARS AS FIRE-
MAN AND BASEBALL HERO
IN LATEST COMEDY
Joe E. Brown, star of "Local Boy
Makes Good" and numerous comedies,
appears as both fireman and baseball
hero in his latest picture, "Fireman,
Save My Child," a First National pic-
ture coming tc the Colonial Theatre
next Sunday and Monday.
Brown is given his greatest oppor-
tunity in "Fireman, Save My Child."
In it he appears as the small town
hero who is the assistant fire chief,
and star pitcher of the local baseball
team. He is a natural born fire fan
who would rather go to a fire than
make love to his best girl. He
drops everything, baseball game or
love, at the sound of a siren. This
conception of the small town hero by
Robert Lord, Ray Enright and Arthur
Caesar, three famous humorists, gives
Brown great latitude in securing
laughs from audiences.
As "Smokey Joe" Grant, Brown in-
vents a fire extinguisher. Needing
money to exploit his patent, he ac-
cepts an offer from the St. Louis
Cardinals to pitch for their team. He
makes good as a pitcher, but is in con-
stant difficulties with the team man-
ager because of his penchant for drop-
ping everything when a fire truck
shrieks by. In the city, everyone re-
gards him as a rube and he falls into
clutches of a blonde adventuress, in
spite of his love for Sally, the home-
town girl. His difficulties are smooth-
ed out, however, and he returns to the
hometown more a hero than ever,
rushing to his marriage with Sally in
the local fire wagon.
Evalyn Knapp portrays the home-
town girl with whom "Smoky" Joe is
in love. This is Miss Knapp's first
important role since her injury last
year which confined her to a hos-
pital for several months. Lilian Bond,
English star recently seen on the New
York stage in the musical comedy
"Free For Ali," appears as the adven-
turess who complicates the hero's life

MANY FARMERS CAN PROFIT
FROM LARGER TEAMS
Where four or five mule teams are
used they all too frequently are used
abrpast.— evon in plowing — and in
plowing this means a waste of from
15 to 25 per cent of the power, unless
one or more of the animals walk on the
plowed ground. In this event side
draft may be avoided but the expendi-
ture of energy on the part of the ani-
mals walking on plowed ground will
be so great as to tire them very quick-
ly, thereby slowing down the entire
team.
By adopting more efficient hitching
methods, driving four-mule teams,
two-and-two on plows and five-mule
team, three in front and two behind
on two bottom gang plows, it is pos-
sible to increase the acreage plowed
a day by one man. This increase will
amount to a gain of %-acre in the
case of the four-mule team and a gain
of Vi-acre in the case of the five'
mule team.
Figures from the Census of Agri-
culture show there are approximately
178,000 Texas farms large enough to
employ work horses or mules in units
of four or more, in plowing, discing,
harrowing, middle-busting, and other
soil preparation tasks. In all this
work the wages of at least one man
for four months of the year may be
saved by doubling un on teams so that
one man drives as many horses or
mules as two men have been driving.
If any of our readers are interest-
ed in using larger teams of horses and
mules and wish information regarding
the various types of aveners that
should be used to work such teams
satisfactorily, they should write the
Horse Association of America, Union
Stock Yards, Chicago, Illinois, for leaf-
let No. 190. This leaflet takes up in
detail the various types of eveners
for from 4- to 12-horse teams. Ac-
cording to this bulletin, it is found that
men who are giving the larger hitches
a real trial are well satisfied and are
recommending them to anyone else
having a large enough farm to work
six or more horses. By using large
teams, much more efficient work can
be done and it is possible to effect
a large economy in the use of man
labor. One man can drive 8 or 10
animals on a combination of imple-
ments and do just as much work as
two men each with four or five horses
or mules. Furthermore, the work done
per animal is increased by using the
fastest animals to set the pace.
In using large teams the things
which must be kept in mind in the con-
struction of hitches are:—(1) elimin-
ating side draft as far as possible;
(2)equalizing the loads so that no ani-
mal can loaf; and (3) giving each an-
imal as much room and comfort as
possible.
in the big city. Guy Kibbee is the
team manager who cannot sympathize
with Joe's passion for fires. Others
in the capable cast are Ritchard Carle,
George Meeker, Andy Devine, who
made such a hit as the injured foot-
ball player in "The Spirit of Notre
Dame," and a large staff of Pacific
Coast and major league baseball play-
ers' among whom is Frank Shallen-
bach, star pitcher.
After Mrs. George West of Romeo,
Mich., testified in court that she and
her six chilren had been locked in
their apartment by her husband, she
was given a divorce.
"Cowby' Corner," they call it in
Hollywood—the corner of S-nset and
Gower Streets. It is there that most of
the men who play bits and extra roles
in western pictures gather each day
to talk over recent happenings at the
studios and give tach other tips about
new outdoor pictures and studio
schedules.
Practically all the men who gather
on "Cowboys' Corner" are real west-
erners with years of cowboy experi-
ence on the ranges in the cattle coun-
try. They are brimful of ranchmen's
jargon and tales of frontier days that'
are rapidly vanishing.
To Tim McCoy, one of the screen's
most popular Western stars, these
men are more than merely Hollywood
extras. Many of them he has known
for years; some of them have worked
for hfia on his Wyoming ranch, and
he is not-*, Mister McCoy, the movie
star, to them either. He
friend, who kno;vs !!^sighr more
about cattle and ranching than any
other western movie star in the in-
dustry.
In each of his Columbia pictures Tim
McCoy sees to it that as many of his
old friends as possible are used behind
the cameras. His latest one is "The
One Way Trail," showing Saturday
at the Colonial Theatre, Bay City. In
addition to these colorful extras, the
cast of this film which is described
as a drama in which the hero gambles
with life for revenge, includes Doris
Hill, Polly Ann Young, A1 Ferguson
and Carroll Nye. It was directed by
Ray Taylor.
