point* than any Tractor made. We can sell you four
sixes of Row Crop Tractors and two big ones for Grain

OFFICERS MEET HERE
The sneriffs office in Seymour
was a busy looking place Wednes-
day afternoon. Besides the check
forger, there were the two short
changers, who were being exam-
ined and finger-printed, and other
routine matters of office Besides
this, there was a bunch of officers
meeting here on business connect-
ed with the theft of quite an a-
mount of iron pipe from the Mid-
Continent Oil & Gas Association.
In the party were: Ranger Jim
Green of Vernon, Sheriff Floyd
Peacock of Andrews, Ranger John
Wood of Midland and John Kel-
ley of Dallas, who is chief special
agent for the Mid-Continent Co.
The men are all good friends
of Sheriff Keffer. and they were
frank to say they think Baylor C
County is lucky to have a sher.ff |
like that.
The Claude Cowan family of
Fulda returned recently from the
ranch in southern Colorado, where
they had oeen for several weeks.
The two Claudes were looking af-
ter things on the ranch, and the
whole family, including the little
daughter of the junior Cowans, en-
joyed their stay in that country.
In fact. Claude Sr says he is go-
ing back m about a week, but he |
doesn't know yet whether any of
the others are' going too
Rev and Mrs. G C Laney of ;
Paducah were here first of the
week for a visit with relatives n

former's son in Richland commun- !
ity, and members of Mrs Laneys
famiiy. She was Miss Lucy Smith I

ber of years they lived on a farm

by. He is now pastor in Cottle

tion Association Friday morning
and afternoon sectional meetings
were held — mathematics, history,
science, art, etc Friday afternoon
the State House of Delegates met
This Is the policy making body of
the State Education Association.
Probably the hottest debate of this
meeting grew out of the issue of
whether to move the association s
headquarters from Fort Worth to
Austin By a final vote of 15*6 to
181 the House of Delegates voted
in favor of moving headquarters to
Austin.
Mr. Hamilton and Mrs. Parker

ably led the association this past
year. In her speach of acceptance
Miss Walker said. "A pretty-good'
school is not good enough for us
now. Schools can no longer be sat-
isfied with average teachers. The
public now has a right to expect
improved teaching Salaries have
been increased we can justify in-
creased salaries only in terms of
increased efficiency in teaching."

day night program was Eric John-
ston. former president of the U. S

Earl Gwinn is back in Seymour,
to the satisfaction of quite a few
in the community, who regretted
it when he left here to return to
his former home at Phoenix. His
mother and sisters live there, and
Ear! was reared at that place.
Since leaving here he also spent a
little time in California, and has
been doing about considerably.
Earl, who is the brother of Kloyce
Gwinn of this place, began his ex-
perience as a printer in The Banner
office, and has learned a lot about
the business. He is back with The
Banner again, and his presence
seems to make the force complete.
Also, more efficient. For some
weeks the office has been working
short-handed, and has not been
able to give the kind of service to
which our public is entitled Earl
will help out on that, besides be-
ing a valuable asset to our good
community.
