SEYMOUR, BAYLOR COUNTY, TEXAS, THURSDAY, JULY 23, l

PASSING
DAY
OLiD SAW; "It's not the heat,
but the humidity."
xxxxxx
The sweat doesn't dry on you.
and you don't get cooled off The
only good thing about it was. the
folks here could l'ind out what
Beaumont people have to go thru
with a31 the time.
xxxxxx
This column has been trying to
tell our folks about this all the
time, but nobody will pay any at-
tention. We also tried to point
out the many advantages of sum-
mer over winter, but we haven't
been taken seriously enough. And,
oh boy, aren't those watermelons
going to be fine in a few days?
xxxxxx
About the only difficulty at all
is that you don't have enough en-
ergy these days. Of course, there
are the vitamins, which could be
some help, and we are advised to
use more salt in sumrr(er.
xxxxxx
But there is one source of en-
ergy which has not been tapped as
yet, by the human physique. A-
tomic energy has been touted up
a lot and, why not use that for
pepping up the rund&wners.
xxxxxx
But speaking about that humid-
ity, it could be a good thing for
the crop';. At any rate, you can
almost see the stuff grow. As a
usual thing, drouth conditions get
worse as the summer drags on; but
right now this country looks like
a paradise, as compared with one
irtonth ago.
xx-sxx
You may remember that when
the first rains came, they started
in the night. The rain, on the roof
sounded like sweet music to most
of us, but Lloyd Jones and wife
lost out on it. They have one of
these modem houses, with roof of
crushed marble, and they never
know when it's raining.
xxxxxx
The rains are helpful to nearly
everybody around here, but they
have back-fired on the city. The
water department here was put-
ting out about a million and one-
half gallons while it was so dry,
and this has now been cut to a-
bout half. And just as the city
farthers had worried around and
digged another fine well.
xxxxxx
Perhaps around here the grass
will grow out in time to save the
cattfle industry. The government
offers to help some but they want
us to take a pauper's oath,
xxxxxx
Not many cattlemen are used to
that, sort of thing and it hurts our
pride. Still, the government could
have something there. There may
be several around here who could
swear they were paupers, and still
come pretty near the truth,
xxxxxx
Seerr.S like a lot of our worry
these days is over financing of
different kinds. People of this
country are making a lot more
money than they used to, and it's
harder than ever to keep the bills
paid.
xxxxxx
And sometimes it costs about as
much to get married now as it did
then to build a home. Claude Catl-
lan has Aunt Het to say that now-
adays a girl almost has to have
a job for the young fellow to be
able to n.'arry her.
xxxxxx
Aunt Het also remarks; 1 like
to see everybody prosperous, but
not too prosperous. They're nic-
est when they're makin' enough to
be cheerful and not quite enough
to be snooty.

eral men for the inattention of

The Republican Administration
keeps checking up on what has
pone before, but there was one
place where the Democrats came
through with colors flying. The
government had 23 billion dollars
worth of gold and two billion in
silver, stored at Fort Knox and
other places;/ and Ian accurate
count showed that it was all still
there. Now if we can only keep
the 'Republicans from making off
with it while they are in power,

The weather has been so hot
that a fellow nearly has to take

in order to avoid sunstroke. But
not those fellows who are playing
golf at Munday.

For sonVe reason or other, that

ways pulled off about the middle

nament brings out a lot of hot

The speaker talked on the work
of the West Texas organization,

nature of a report on what the
WTCC is doing. A compliment
was made to the splendid quality
of leadership which the organiza-
tion has over the 132-comvty area.

Revival July 29-Aug. 10
L. B. Donehoo, Secretary-
Treasurer of the Baylor-Knox Na-
tional Farm Loan Association, has
recently received a communication
from Sterling C. Evans, Presi-
dent of the Federal Land Bank of
Houston, concerning the drastic
increase in demand for long-term
farm mortgage loans in Texas.
Mr. Evans stated that a greater
volume of loans has been closed
during the first six and one-half
months of 1953 than, was closed in
amy single year for twenty-nine
of the Bank's thirty-six years his-
tory. He believes one of the
controlling reasons for this in-
crease is the desire of farmers and
ranchers to consolidate their short-
ttirm debts on a long-term basis.
He also felt that the fact loans
are still being closed at 4 percent
interest rate regardless of the rath-
er sharp increase in the cost of
money, is having some effect.
The Bank now holds about 25
percent of all of the farm mort-
gage debt in the State. Mr Evans
I further stated that the Lank Bank
j is now closing about 35 percent of
1 the total number of loans being
I made in Texas.
The Baylor-Knox National Farm
; Loan Association is one of the 141
i associations located throughout
j the State of Texas that are sole
i owners of the Federal Land Bank.
; These associations in turn are
i owned by local farmer's and ranch-
ers.

came in for its share of discussion.
Mr. Husbands mentioned the
projects for cotton allotment
acreage, and favored the ttiree-
year method of corrfputing acre-
age. By this method, for instance,
Baylor County would be given 23.-
700 acres, as against 21.400 acres
by the five-year computation.
Some of the methods were shown
by which West Texas is advertis-
ed to the remainder of the world.
One of the most important fea-
tures of this advertising is the at-
tracting of tourists to this part
of the state. The nfoney spent by
tourists in Texas is second only
to oil in the amount of revenue
as a whole.
Mr. Husbands was accompanied

The Tri-County Golf Tourna-
ment came near becoming a four-
county affair this time, but there
mvi'.st have been a slip somewhere.
The members of the Association
voted to admit Orowell and Foard
County to the membership, but l'or
some reason no players showed
up from that territory.
Qualifying . tarted last Sunday,
being completed Tuesday after-
noon. and the dinner and Calcutta
being held that evening at the
Mundaq club house on the Throck-
morton road southeast of town. At
that tiirae the players u.e matt-
ed. and the battle was on the next
day.
Considering the kind of weather
we are having now, it could easily
be said that the tournament is
developing some hot golf. There
has been good and bad playing.
Lady Fortune being rather impar-
tial with her favora Some of the
better players have been worse,
and some of the worse players
have done better. Just i'or in-
stance. Lindey Carter, Seymour
city champion and one of the fa-
vorites to capture the flag, was
taken out in his first rrfatch. One
of the main events in connection
with the tournament has been the
driving contest, which was won by a
Seymour junior player. Jess Hark-
ne s Jr., who socked the little pill
something over 200 yards.
However, on the heels of the
honor he won, Jess got himself
knocked out in his first match with
another heme boy, Joe Dickson,
who won, 3-2. However, Jess now
has his eyes on the consolation
prize. Gib Whitten. in the first
flight, was also eliminated his
first round, and is now eligible
for the consolation. A couple of
other home boys had to beat each
others faces, and Carlton Hill won
from Horton Porter. 4-3. Lindley
Carter lost to Omar Cure of Gilli-
land, 2-1. John A. Young of Sey-
mour had to forfeit his first
match on account of having to get
his plowing started, i Business be-
fore pleasure.)
In other matches Seymour play-
ers fared well. , Chas. Richmond
played a nice game of golf in de-
feating A. V. Kimlett of Knox
City. 3-1. Travis Martin took out
C. E. Williams of Knox City. 3-2.
Donald Bartley overwhelmed his
opponent, 8-7. Buddy Morton also
got his mah, 5-4. And Wade Ma-
han says he caught Bruce Burnett
of Knox City when the latter was
off his game, and beat him, 5-4.

NEW OIL WELL
NORTH OF TOWN
Steady progress is being made
on a test being made not far from
Seymour. The town woud be very
well pleased to see a producer
brought in adjacent to the city.
The test has probably gotten
down 1,000 feet or more on the
Henry Harmel place, about three
miles northeast of town. The
Wichita Falls papeis make report,
on a Claude Cowan test that has
been abandoned.
