Russia would extend to Turkey if
it faced attack by Germany.
The pact was said to have been

—A good flock of hens on every
Texas farm/ would make a defi-
nite contribution to the family
food supply and help to correct
malnutrition.
A flock of 40 to 45 well bred
hens, properly housed, managed
and fed, will furnish all the poul-
try products needed by the aver-
age funn family, says H. H
Weatherby, assistant extension
poultry husbndinatv Tor A. and
M. College. This is the type of
poultry program that should be
put into operation on a large
number of Texas farms and one
in which 4-H boys and girls club
members can play an important
part.
Such a program offers club
members can play an important
parfct.
Such a program offers dub
members opportunity to lean:
how to hnadle problems of breed-
ing, feeding, disease and para-
sites, housing management, ag-
ronomy (in producing feed for
their birds) and pastures in pro-
ducing green feed for them. I
they do a complete job of produc-
tion, Weath-erby explains, they
will cover practically all phases
of agriculture except horticulture.

—or should—something
about who is appointed.
Ami that brings up the ques
tion oil the need of having all
the officers from the city chief
of police, on thrugh the school
board, elected as they should be,
by the people. Maybe we'll come
to it some of these days.
The question of who can vote
tomes up again this week. Some
work in the city but live outside
the city limits. Naturally, the law
does not permit them to vote in
the city elections, although they
have a poll tax. They may vote in
county and state, but not in city
elections, else some who work in
local -to-res and live at such places
as Whitewright, Pott-Jboro and
Sherman, could vote here.
We understand that matter
v ill be watched pretty close in
lie election Tuesday.
Back yards anil farm lots all
over Texas are to be rummaged
for scrap iron for Britain. A
movement started by Fred Mc-
Duff of Oklahoma to give every-
one a chance to throw in his b
is spreading rapidly throughout
the state.
R. G. Soper, president of the
Dallas Gas Company, has been
appointed State Chairman for
Texas and is seeking to organize
the entire state for the system-
atic collection of olu, abandoned
and useable iron which i lying
around virtually everywhere. The
plan is to assemble the iron for
transport to the mills where it
will be reduced into billets and
shipped to England for bullets,
■machine guns, and other arma-
ments of war.
The first carload of strap iron
for this purpose was assembled
in Sherman by the Sherman
Lions’ Club and for this reason
the Lions Clubs of the state are
volunteering to tuke the lead in
organizing the campaigns in
their towns.
Vacant lots for the deposit of
iron are being loaned by own-
ers, and lumber yards are pro-
viding signs for the lots reading
' deposit Iron for Britain Here.’’
In many cities employes ol' the
street fire or police departments
have volunteered to place the
signs in position, and transfer
companies have offered to haul
the iron to railroad yards.
“Here is a way for every per
son to do at least something for
vhe vital cause of Britain anu to
do it with practically no ex-
pense,” said Mr. Soper. "Noth-
ing is more important to Eng-
ands defense than iron. No
movement yet projects! gives' ev-
ery person in the land a more
glowing opportunity to do his bit,
Just bear in mind that J 111 pounds
of scrap iron which can be picked
up in a few minutes’ search car-

It is pointed out that not on!
ivill this be a great help to Eng-
land but it also will help clean up

lie was unable to determine how
many employees left their jobs.
He said 500 men who reported
for work at 4 p. m. were in the
plant when the strike call was is-
sued.
Curtis said the strike was order-
ed when SWOT committeemen,
working on the 3 to ,11 p. m. shift
said they saw evidence of voting
on the EBP.
Thomas Lambert of the U. S.
Conciliation Service arrived in the
late afternoon and conferred with
Curtis and W. L. Trumbauer, the
company’s labor relations director,

ly was collecting facts.

"Chart your vacation now,"
harry Nixon admonishes readers of
Cosmopolitan magazine’s April la-
iue. From the East to West Coast
there are unlimited vacation spots

pour life, if you think about it

Dude ranching is one Idea Nixon
mggests. Westerners claim that
ludes can get the full flavor of
ranching only out of where the
IVest begins. Rates range from $50
» week up or down according to
the establishment, the food and
auxiliary entertainment. There are
excellent ranch schools and camps
for youngsters, but first and last
dude ranching is an adult sport.
New England is another haven
for vacationers. Besides the thou-
sands of historical landmarks there
are 2,500 miles of seacoast, count-
less mountains for climbing, and
lakes stocked with fish every sea-
son.

reports, is not
