well as the Democrats, so why not
have some of them to help solve
them. The Democrats have plenty of
talent, but they do not hove a corner
on It Not only that, but the respon-
sibility Is very great, and the Repub-
licans should bear their port of It.
Tf It were not so serious and ridi-
culous It would be amusing to listen
to the Republicans rant and rave at
the New Dealers. Their inconsistency
reminds me of what they did in 1928,
when A1 Smith was nominated on an
anti-prohibition platform by the Dem-
i ocrats, then the Republicans nomin-
al ated Hoover on a dry platform. Be-
V lieving Hoover to be conscientious,
I, with enough other Democrats to
V j (.icet him, voted for him for our presl-
dent. Well, about the first tiling lu-
$> did after taking the rath of office
was to appoint the wettest man in
the nation to enforce the national
prohibition law, which was then In
effect. And at their convention last
week the Republicans adopted a plat-
form almost Identical with the New
i‘Dealers; and then turned around and
nominated otie of the New Dca 8 I
worst enemies as their standard bear-
er. ‘‘Oh, consistency, thou art a jew-
I
A i el.”

Dr. A. J. Bezner and Miss Ettie
Ola Rogers were married at Here-
ford, Texas, at 4:00 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, June 29. The ceremony
was performed by Father Nathaniel
Madden, of the St. Anthony Church.
Hereford is the home of Dr. Bezner's
parents. The couple returned here
Monday and are at home in the west
part of town.
The bride Is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. H. A. Rogers, and she has
lived in Baylor county since 1920.
She completed high school a*t Me-
gargel, where she stayed at the home
of her sister while attending school.
Since her graduation she has been
working part of the time at the J. C.
Penney store. Miss Ettie Ola is a
Electric Refrigerators Popular
Statistics of the Electric Refriger-
ation Industry indicate that during
the 90 day period from June 1st to
August 31st, more than 600.000 Amer-
ican homes will be equipped with elec-
tric refrigerators, reports C. L. Rich-
mond of Richmond Electric Shop, arid
local Kelvinator dealer.
In discussing this potential sales
figure with Mr. M. H. Ditmor, Kelvi-
nator Zone Advertising and Sales Pro-
motion Manager with headquarters
in Dallas, Mr. Richmond said that
he was surprised to discover that the
total number of sales that probably
will be made in this 90 day period
equals the total number of electric
refrigeration sales marie by all Elec-
tric Refrigeration manufacturers in

spot where a school bus overturned
not long ago, spilling out a bunch of

preciate the opportunity of seeing
homefolks and friends. Mr. Newton
has been in Philadelphia for the past
2 1-2 years, all the while with this
radio station. It is a matter for re-
gret that the station is so far away
that broadcasts there are not usually
something to do with this work, but received in this county. Previous

Market Pads at The Banner
I reckon it is not necessary for me
to say anything about the weather,
for it has been speaking for itself,
and as a result we have some of the
finest weeds and grass I have seen
in a long time. Of course that means
good gardens, corn and feed. too. but
we are about to lose our cotton, much
of which had to be planted over; some
of it this week. Harvesting of the
grain crop has been badly hampered,
especially on land that was terraced.
Grain that was in the shock Is being
badly damaged. A little of this has
been threshed this week.
Rev. Ancil Lynn seems to be in
demand as an instructor in missionary
institutes that are being held over
the state by the Methodist people. He
has spent most of about four weeks
lately in such work, the last of which
was at Kerrville. from which place he
visited his old friend, Rev. P. S. Con-
nell, who, by the way, is a former
Westover boy, and is now stationed
at Comfort, where Rev. Mr. Lynn
preached one Sunday. And in this
connection I might say that Rev. Eg-
bert Connell, a brother to P. S., has
been transferred from Texas to Ar-
kansas, and stationed at Sercy, the
county seat of my old county.
Gerald Wayne Gray has been
brought home from Wichita Falls, but
he is in a plaster of paris cast, where
he will have to stay for some time,
and then will likely have to undergo
another operation before he can fully
recover.
Referring to Brother Lynn again:
His family, which Is scattered ove*
this whole country, enjoyed a re-
union recently, taking advantage of
our beautiful nark at Seymour for
the occasion. He gave me a list of
those attending, but it is misplaced
now. I believe he said that there
were 42 persons present. From my
own experience in such occasions, I
would guess they had a wonderful
time. Optimist.
Rev. J R. Balch will be in Jean
this week and next, doing the preach-
ing for a revival meeting with the
Baptist church there. Bro. Balch has
done successful work at that place
before, and his return there is look-
ed forward to with confidence by i
the church and the community in j
general.
