THE BONHAM (Texas) HERALD, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1938
Millions of years before
this Stegosaurus lived,
Nature stored her costliest
crude oil in the Bradford-
Allegany district of the
Pennsylvania field. There
it has mellowed and fil-
tered until . . .
. . . today it is used 100%
in refining Sinclair Penn-
sylvania Motor Oil. You'll
find that this oil saves you
money because it . . •
... lasts longer in the heat
of hard, fast driving. Ask
your nearby Sinclair dealer.
You'll like the way he treats
you.

LINOTYPE PEOPLE CHECK UP
VERY CLOSE ON BUSINESS
As an evidence of the “follow up”
and “keep up” tactics of the Lino-
type' people, one need not go any
further than the following excerpt
from a letter sent The Herald by the
Mergenthaler Linotype Company,
from the New Orleans agency, 549
Baronne street. This is what the
letter says that inspires this story:
“On December 30, 1914, Model 5
Linotype No. 9589-R was shipped
from our factory in Brooklyn. To-
day it is still in use in your plant.”
The letter also gave a list of hap-
penings in 1914, and since then,
most too lengthy to enumerate here
as it deals with the World War, but
the point is that the linotype changed
hands two or tree times, since orig-
inally sold, and while it has long
since been paid for, the records in
Baronne street, New Orleans, show
exactly where the machine is now,
and what it is doing. Just to keep
the record straight the man on the
machine will be given this item to
.set, so the Mergenthaler people can
see how the Model 5 is percolating.
A copy of the paper will be mailed
the company.
The sermon that might be extract-
ed from all this is that the rest of us
might profit by the Linotype people’s
follow-up system, and keep in touch
with our customers a little better—
don’t you think a customer does not
like to be remembered. He does, and
so do you.
TREMENDOUS CENTIPEDE
CAUGHT ON EAST NINTH
PATRIOTIC EGGS
Harry Hancock, who lives on East
Ninth street, spied a centipede cross-
ing the street in front of his house
Saturday. Be secured a fruit jar
and captured the monster, for such
it was, and was exhibiting him to the
neighbors.
The “varmint” was over ten inches
long. He had two horns, or feelers
out in front, and was he trying to get
out of the fruit jar. Bringing up
the rear of the thing was a pair of
stingers. He was stinging the bottle,
as he tried in vain to escape.
Always, in such a case, these is
somebody who is up on the lore at-
tendant upon such terrible cusses,
and he hove in sight presently. He
said if a centipede happened to crawl
on to your body, to let him crawl;
that if you interfered he would sting
you, and while it was not necessarily
fatal, that the flesh would rot out,
“clear to the bone,” and leave a scar
when it healed, that would last you
to the grave.
The repulsive creature seemed to
come from nowhere, and was bound
for the same place, when Harry cap-
tured him.
Several years ago Jim Robinson,
who happened to live right where
Mr. Hancock does now, killed the
biggest rattlesnake ever seen in
these parts, right on East Ninth
street, and the reptile was crossing
the street at the time'. So far no-
body has reported seeing a gila mons-
ter on this thoroughfare.

OKAWVILLE, ILL.—How’ll you have your eggs this morning—red,
blue, green or lavender If you think we’re kidding, you have another
guess coming. Henry Joellenbeck of this city, shown in the photo, has a
coop of white leghorns that produce colored-yolk eggs at will. The secret
is in the feed, certain harmless dyes being added to the mash. The hens
are fed the feed for about ten days prior to the time the colored yolks are
wanted. Any color can be produced. Photo shows Joellenbeck holding
some of the green-colored eggs. If you doubt the story, he’ll break an egg
and show you its grass-green inside.

Bonham Monday. Cap is well

the legislature, and after a man has
made' a canvass of the county, in
quest of votes, he naturally makes
many acquaintances. And Cap is a
man who remembers them.

Dove hunters of Texas will not be
subjected to a series of conflicting
regulations such as confused them
last year, the Game Department an-
nounced.
Compared to those of last year,
the 1938 regulations are fairly uni-
form.
Combined state and federal laws
governing both mourning and white-
winged doves provide the following
open seasons:
From Sept. 1 to Oct 31 in the
counties of Yoakum, Terry, Lynn,
Garza, Kent, Stonewall, Haskell,
Throckmorton, Young, Jack, Wise,
Denton, Collin, and Hunt, and all
counties north thereof, and the coun-
ties of Parker, Tarrant, Dallas,
Rockwall, Kaufman, Johnson, Hop-
kins, Delta and Franklin.
In the remainder of the state the
open season on both species is from
Sept. 15 to Nov. 15. Below the Tex-
as-Mexican Railway in the Rio
Grande Valley, however, only four
days of shooting each week during
the’ open season will be allowed—on
Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and
Sundays—but this exception is not
applicable to Webb and Zapata coun-
ties.
The hours for shooting mourning
and white-winged doves during the
open seasons are from 7 a. m. to
sunset.
Neither species may be shot with
a weapon other than a shotgun, and
it shall not be larger than No. 10
gage. If it is a repeating or auto-
matic shot gun it must be perman-
ently plugged to a three-shell capa-
city.
The daily bag limit is 15 in the
aggregate of both mourning doves
and white wings. The possession
limit also is 15 in the aggregate of
both species.
Baiting of doves of other species
is prohibited by federal regulations.
continued from last year are:
Baiting of waterfowl and doves
and the use of live duck and goose
decoys in hunting waterfowl are not
authorized regardless of the dis-
tance between the bait or decoys
and the shooter.
The three-shell limit on repeat-
ing or automatic shotguns, in effect
the last three seasons, is continued.
Hunters may shoot waterfowl with
shotguns only, not larger than No.
10 gage.
Ross’ geese., wood ducks and
swans are still protected.
Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hooper .of Dal-
las were in Bonham, Saturday. It
has been fifteen years since these
good people lived in Bonham, Mr.
Hooper being a druggist here, but
they have many warm friends in and
around Bonham. Mrs. Hooper was
a Thomas, sister to W. A. Thomas, of
Dallas. She was reared in Goiber and
taught school there for some time.
With Mr. and Mrs. Hooper was Miss
Flora Collier, who came over to visit
friends. Miss Collier now makes her
home with the Hoopers.
Hon. C. C. Canon and his son,
Frank, were in Bonham, Saturday.
The former is now at Huntsville in
the employ of the state government,
and Frank is from Dallas. Frank, it
will be remembered, was with Horace
Vaughn when their plane pancaked
on a barn in the north part of the
city. Frank still wears a scar from
that encounter. He can laugh at the
escapade now, but it was no laugh-
ing matter at the time to be hurtling
from space and land on a barn with
a noise that sounded like a cannon,
to be frank about it.
Robert Burnett was taken home
from Allen Memorial Hospital Satur-
day. It will be remembered that he
was injured in an automobile acci-
teiit southeast of the city a few days
Under new federal migratory wa- j ago. The Weaver Funeral Home
took him home in an ambulance. Mr.
Burnett lives south of the city.
Sunday was a rainy day—the one,
perhaps you have been saving for.
A number of' people told the Herald
the rain was needed. Some might
think differently, but the Almighty
appears to be on the side of the rain
wanters.

terfowl regulations announced re-
cently Texas duck hunters will have
a 45-day open season this year com-
pared to a 30-day open season in
i 1937; and in addition may shoot a
; limited number of species hitherto
protected.
j The open season on ducks and
geese, Wilson’s snipe or jacksnipe,
and coot, is from Nov. 15 to Dec. 29.
j The open season on rails and gal-
linules, except coot, is from Sept. 1
to Nov. 30.
I Not only,, has the open season on
ducks and geese been lengthened,
but the possession limits have been
doubled.
The bag limit on ducks, except
the wood duck, is 10 in the aggre-
gate of all kinds, the same as last
season, but the possession limit has
been doubled to 20 in the aggregate.
| This season hunters may take
three canvasbacks, redheads, buffle-
heads or ruddy ducks in their daily
bag, or an aggregate of three birds
of the different species. The posses-
sion limit for these ducks is six of
any single species, or six in aggre-
■ gate.
I The daily bag limit on geese and
brant is five in the aggregate of all
kinds, and the possession limit has
been increased to 10 in the aggre-
gate.
The daily bag limit on rails and
gallinules, except sora and coot, is
continued at 15' in the aggregate of
all kinds. The possession limit is
the same.
Bag limits for some of the other
migratory game birds are: Sora, 15;
coot, 25, Wilson’s snipe or jacksnipe,
15. In each case the possession li-
mit may not exceed the daily bag
limit. A new federal regulation
added this year forbids the rallying
of coot for hunting.
As was the case last year, water-
fowl and coot may be hunted in sea-
son from 7 a. m. to 4 p. m.

possessed ducks and geese may be j |
