AN OLD SAYING: "Another
pretty day."
zzzzzz
After a mighty breath from the
weather man, knocking down some
of those grand wheat fields, the
sun comes out pretty and calm,
and you would never think the
weather had ever been anything
out of the ordinary.
zzzzzz
In a way, you could say the
worries of some of these growers
are over with. They don"t have
to bother about any more hail or
wind; and the problem of storage
and embargoes is nothing to them.
However, we* feel sure they would
like to have something to worry a-
bout.
zzzzzz
Other folks who don’t have to
worry are the graduates receiving
their diplomas this week. That is,
if they do not look too far into
the future and wonder what is
coming next. These youngsters
are still hopeful and dreaming
dreams. A good many of the rest
of us no longer expect to be rich
or famous and have quit struggling,
zzzzzz
Times do change. The Dallas
News has a little squib entitled,
■'Remember When?” The other
day a picture came out of two
fellows working on that old saw
of “Knock! Knock.” "Who'se
there?” "Tarzan!'’ "Tarzan who?”
“Tarzan Stripes Forever.”
zzzzzz
“Today’s Chuckle," from the Kre-
olite News, is not bad:
Husband: "Honey, if I had it
to do over again, do you know
whom I'd marry?”
Wife: "No. 1 don’t. Who?”
Husband: "You.”
Wife: "Oh, no, you wouldn’t!”
zzzzzz
Miss Mary Ruth Gentry, of the
high school faculty, says she will
have a vacation trip to Florida.
Somebody asked about Colorado,
and Mary Ruth said she couldn't
go there, she doesn’t know any-
body in Colorado.
zzzzzz
Martha Vickers of the movies is
getting her divorce today, and next
month will marry Mickey Rooney.
Looks like the little girl would
want a little rest. They're always
hopeful of next time.
zzzzzz
Claude Callan says it should be
no trouble for son-in-law to find
his clothes. He puts them just
anywhere.
zzzzzz
H. C. Stansifer say's when we
lose our heads the loss of nearly
everything else goes right along
with ’em.
zzzzzz
Hal Cochran in Barbs says: Af-
ter a person has done only as he
pleased he isn’t always pleased
with what he has done.
zzzzzz
Hal also says: "It’s foolish to
argue that the law has no heart—
look how easily the sheriff may
develop an attachment for your
new car."
zzzzzz
Robert Quillen has Aunt Het to
say: "I never mean to talk about
family affairs; but when you start
talkin' intimate with a friend you
trust, you never know what's goin'
to slip out.”
zzzzzz
Callan: "We should try to dis-
tribute beauty equally. It is a
shame for one woman to have e-
nough beauty to catch three or
four husbands, while another has
barely enough to catch one.”
zzzzzz
Neal O'Hara sa.vs: “An Alabama
paper ran a story to the effect
that a certain citizen’s home
’caught on fire, but was put out
before much damage could be done
by the fire department.’ ”
zzzzzz
The Vernon Record says some
men marry to have someone to
tell their troubles to, and they
soon have plenty of troubles to
tell.
zzzzzz
Why editors turn gray:
"Mrs. Fahlman has entirely re-
covered from her broken collar-
bone. but her knee,is still in the
hands of the doctor.”—Saskatche-
wan paper.
zzzzzz
Senator Soaper says the passing
of the seller’s market is now def-
inite. At Moffat. Ontario, a gro-
cer rescued a citizen from his
burning home and explained: “It
was nothing, anyone would have
done it. He was a customer.”
ZZZZZZ
SOUTH HAVEN. Mich—Mrs.
Paul Mixter spotted a sign in Tex-
as, between San Antonio and Del
Rio, which reads: "This is God's
country. Don’t drive through it
like hell.”
zzzzzz
Try to be nice to everybody un-
til you have made your first mil-
lion. After that, everybody will
be nice to you.
zzzzzz
Hal Cochran thinks the easiest
thing to get and the hardest thing
to get rid of si a bad reputation.
A good ri p is had to get and hard
to keep.

COLLOQ.: “He waa beside him-
self."
Rain Hampering
Grain Harvest
A big grain harvest is coming
tup in Baylor County, if we can |
get it saved before the hail does. 1 *
Mrs. Daugherty reports rain of
.07 of an inch at Seymour Wed-
nesday night, with a fall of .16
early Tuesday morning. This a-
mount is not enough generally to
make fields very muddy, although
in a few instances the rainfall was
j very much heavier.
I The high temperature for the
1 week was the 91 on Sunday after- 1
noon. The low was not so very j
low, 60 degrees on Tuesday night.
The greatest uneasiness right '
now is over the question of grain
, storage. This will probably be
i worked out some way.
| Another problem is weeds in
| wheat fields, and Bob Chisholm of
I the Seymour Airport has been oc- j
I cupied with spraying fields w'ith
2,4-D in Ester solution. This is 1
mixed with diesel oil. The spray- |
! ing really knocks the sunflowers, i
I Some little wheat has already ,
been combined, but most of it has
had too much moisture. By last
of the week, with no more rain, !
the golden flood should begin to !
pour in, moderately.

1358 Scholastics
Enumerated in
Sevmour RHS Dist.
w
A total of 1358 scholastics were
enumerated in the Seymour Rural
High School District for 1949-195.0
according to Supt. J. W. Hamilton,
This includes the newly annexed
Bomarton and Red Springs dis-
tricts and also the colored scholas-
tics.
The white scholastics number
684 boys and 661 girls for a total
of 1345. There are 13 colored scho-
lastics; six boys and seven girls.
A break-down of the enumera-
tion by communities follows:

Seveenty-six grade school stu-
dents were enumerated at Bomar-
ton, and seventy-two at Red
Springs, which qualifies each of
these schools for three teachers
next year. It appears that Sey-
mour will qualify, under the pres-
ent equalization aid law for 40
techers in the white school and one
in the colored school. This is the
same number employed this year.
There would be approximately sev-
en more teachers if the Gilmer-
Aiken legislation passes the House
of Representatives.
Of the 1345 scholastitcs, 117 are
six year olds and will enter school
for the first time. Eleven of those
are at Red Springs and seven are
at Bomarton. That leaves a total of
I 99 in the Seymour school, as com-

ated last year. The number of six

of 1949. the district as a whole, in-

tics. This may be partly explained
by the failure to enumerate some
of scholastic age who have gradu-

families with from four to six
children of school age have moved
away, and have been replaced by
families with no children of school

Baylor County people have had
visions this week of opening up a
new oil well in strictly wildcat
territory. This is the American
Liberty Oil Co. test on the J. S
Criswell ranch. 8 miles southwest
of Seymour.
The hole was bottomed at 5552
feet, in the Mississippi lime, and
23 feet of oil formation was hit.
In a drill stem test for 29 min-
utes. with tool open, oil rose 900
feet in the hole. Cement was
drilled and the hole acidized, and
then the bad news came that salt
water had come in. An attempt
will be made to shut off the water
and bring on the oil.
South of Bomarton, on the Har-
ry Portwood ranch, the Cox Drill-
ing Co. abandoned hole at 5830
feet. A showing at 5452 feet, in
the Mississippi, recovered 40 fee;
of light gas cut mud.
Another hard luck story comes
from the Henry Peek place, six
miles a little southeast of Seymour,
where the Humble Company quit
at 2980 feet.
The Wichita Times reports on the
5.000-foot wildcat on the Boone
ranch near Megargel. It was in
shale at 4450 feet. This is about
10 miles north of Megargel.
