LETTER FROM
C. E. JACKSON
FACTS OF INTEREST ABOUT
THE PADUCAH PUBLIC
SCHOOLS
Boulder, Colo., Aug. 3, 1929.—
The Paducah Post, Paducah, Tex-
as. Gentlemen: I do not know
if the matter of the affiliation of
our high school has been handed
you or not and so I am sending
in the news.
I have just this week had a re-
port on the work submitted to
the State Department of Educa-
tion from our high school for
the last term. These subjects
were: f English IV., commercial
law, chemistry, and public speak-
ing. We were granted, affiliation
on all of these—being all we ask-
ed for and being all of the non-
affiliated work in our school. So
that now we have credit on every-
thing taught in our high school.
The number of credits now is 27
for the Paducah High. We have
learned that you cannot judge
the quality of a high school by
the number of affiliated credits
hut it should be 100 per cent of
the work offered, not necessarily
great in numbers to the point of
interfering with the efficiency of
the school by ov#rloading the
faculty for mere number of
credits. This gives us this 100
er cent, every subject being on
he affiliated list as well as the
chool being on list of Southern
Accredited Schools and Colleges.
The teachers who taught the
work submitted this past term
were for chemistry, Mr. Byrd R.
Lewis; for public speaking and
commercial law, Mrs. J. E. Tay-
lor; and for fourth year English,
Mrs. Loden. Very favorable com-
ments were made on some of the
work and one note book of the
commercial law exhibit was re-
tained by the department “as a
model to other schools.” Fourth
year English is listed in the State
Department bulletin as an honor
cieuit, being based on especially
meritorious work and is regarded
as being the very hardest to get
and hence the instructor and the
school in general deserves es-
pecial honor, for this work.
Express our appreciation to the
people of Paducah for their co-
operation in the past that has
made this step up in our schools
possible.
We are enjoying our work
here in the University of Colo-
rado and are delighted with the
climate. Two other Paducah
teachers, Mrs. W. C. Stubbs and
Mrs. S. M. Jolly, have enrolled
here for the last term also.
I have one class in school sup-
ervision that has teachers, super-
visors, and superintendents from
coast to coast and from the lakes
to the gulf. Supervisors are from
Chicago, Pittsburgh, Kansas City,
Oklahoma City and other major
cities. Yours very truly,
C. E. JACKSON.
WEATHER IS
HOT AND DRY
AUGUST THUS FAR HAS BEEN
MONTH OF EXTREME
HEAT
Puffing and blowing, sweating
and hurting—that has been the
first week of August. Gardens
have long since been completely
blown up, and it has been so* hot
and dry during the latter part
of July and the first days of
this month that a garden memory
does not even exist.
Every day some clouds blow up
and look as though they mean to
dump some water, but as one old-
timer remarked this week, they
are merely bluffing and will turn
out to be but a batch of empties
going back for loads of sand.
Monday was the first day this
section experienced a real hot
wind. That afternoon the breeze
felt like a breath from the door
of a heated furnace.
Cotton on tight land is begin-
ning to look sick. In some places
the plant looks as though a huge
torch had been dragged across it.
The feed crop, as a whole, is suf-
fering very much. In some sec-
tions of the county there won’t
be any feed, while in other parts
of the county some will be raised,
but in abbreviated quantities.
Cotton on the sand has not be-
gun to fire to any great extent,
and a rain in the next few days
will keep it in fine shape. A rain
now will do much good to cotton
all over the county, whether on
the sand or on the tight land.
There is a feeling of “blue-
ness” more or less over the entire
country. The time has come when
the crop is at a critical stage.
Rains now will make almost a
bumper crop. But should the
dryness continue there is no doubt
but that the cotton crop will be
considerably cut down. Judging
from the way things now loolrthe
feed crop will not be up to what
it looked like it would be a
month ago.
Cisterns all over Paducah and
Cottle County are getting down
to the bottom. Many tanks over
the county are dry, and cattle
are having to be watered from
wells.
WORK BEGUN
om. HIWAY
MANY MEN AND TEAMS LO-
CATED ON THAT ROAD
FIRST OF WEEK
Commissioner G. A. Lee told
a Post reporter this week that
dirt work was started on the
north end of the Great Plains
Highway Monday. There is quite
a bit of grading which has to be
done before a road can either be
graveled or hard surfaced, and it
will be many weeks before the
crew now at work on this high-
way will have finished their ef-
forts.
There is a whole colony of men
located on this job. The scene
presents a most active picture.
Men, scrapers, fresnos, mules,
wagons—on every hand work, be-
ing done in a hurry is seen.
This North and South Highway,
or Great Plains Highway, as it
is called, is one of the main
thoroughfares of the United
States. When completed it will
be the means of thousands of
people passing through Paducah
.every year. It will connect Can
ada with the Gulf of Mexico,
passing right through the United
States.
Grading work has already start
ed on the south end of this high-
way, work of grading starting
just across “the street from the
former H. M. Martin home on
South Ninth Street. Work on
both ends of this road will be
rushed as fast as possible, and
when completed will give Paducah
and Cottle County another first-
class highway.
Airplane Did
Not Land Here
School Will
Start Sept. 9
The date set for the beginning
of school in Paducah this year is
the second Monday in September,
which will be the 9th of the
month.
A full corps of teachers will
be on hand ready to commence
one of the best terms ever known
here. The school has more af-
filiation than ever before, and is
J. H. Stamps
Hurts His Foot
Saturday J. H. Stamps start
ed to mount some steps, but
missed his footing and slipped,
landing with all his weight on his
right foot. The member became
swollen in a few hours and pained
him very much across the instep.
It was not thought any bones
were broken, but he was forced
to discard his shoe for several
days and limp around in a. house
shoe on account of the enlarged
condition of his foot.
Suffering With
Right Arm
J. H. Durham, who lives in the
Delwin community, was in the
printing office Monday morning,
carrying his right arm in a sling.
In talking with a Post reporter
about it he said: “I do not know
what is the matter with my arm,
other than it certainly is giving
me plenty of entertainment—of
the kind. About a month ago
what seemed like a small, boil, or
rising, came on it. It went along
for several days and I was forced
to have it lanced. I thought the
matter ended, but for some rea-
son the pain did not cease, and
the thing did not cure. 'I am
still having to come to the doctor
with the ailment, and it is giving
me all kinds of agony.”
TRANSFERRED ~TO~ THIS
DISTRICT
The records of Miss Thressia
Godfrey, County Superintendent,
show that there have been thirty
students transferred from other
school districts to Paducah In-
dependent District No. 1.
The Paducah school is gaining
a most enviable reputation every
year, and seemingly this time
more folks are wanting to edu-
cate their children in this institu-
tion than ever before.
People from other parts of the
section, and from over the connty
are now coming into town, seeing
about renting houses and making
their final arrangements about
getting things in shape to have
their children here on the second
Monday in September in order to
start into thqfwork on time.
I gaining a reputation as being
During August there has been one of the best in this section of
much complaint of hot nights. As the State. Judging from the num-
a rule West Texas can boast of her of transfers which have been
having nights which are always made from other districts, there
the very best for sleeping. But are a number of parents who
during this month part of the think it worth while to send their
time the man who produced the
sleeping wind was off on a vaca-
tion and the result was a swelter-
ing time for suffering humanity.
Rain is badly needed for every-
thing which is growing. The tops
of trees in people’s yards are
turning yellow; flowers are tak-
ing on a sickly hue, and in many
places the grass is beginning to
wilt. The time, seemingly, has
arrived when moisture from above
is very badly needed for more
purposes than merely making the
crops grow.
BANG—THEN WHAT?
Tuesday morning people around
the square heard an awful re-
port. It sounded like a big gun
had busticated. Everybody prick-
ed up their ears and began look-
ing around to see what it was all
about. They glanced about in all
directions to see if the ambulance
was in sight, and how many
stretchers were going to be used.
A few rocks, of small size, struck
the pavement. Then all at onfce
it dawned upon the minds of the
astounded bunch what had oc-
curred. The foundation of the
old court house had been, placed
very deeply in the ground. It
was impossible to get it out with-
out using some blasting. It was
boys and girls to the Paducah
school.
Additional features are being
%dded yearly and at this time it
has far outgrown the small town
educational institution and ranks
with those of the cities. The peo-
ple of this city believe strong in
real education. They have proven
this by voting bonds for the pur-
pose of having the best of build-
ings, properly equipped, and by
employing only the most qualified
instructors.
Thursday morning, between 10
and 10:30, a large number of
people in Paducah went over to
the landing field in northeast Pa-
ducah to see the Woolaroc land.
This plane is the one with the
noted history of making the trip
from San Francisco, Cal., to Hon-
olulu. a distance of 2600 miles,
in 26 hours. It kept a distance
record of 100 miles an hour dur-
ing the trip.
There were a hundred or more
cars at the stock yards, all filled
with folks who were anxious to
see this famed airship, and to
talk with the men making the trip
in it.
The plane came in on schedule
time. It skimmed over the ground
several times, then took a north-
westerly direction and passed out
of sight. It was not long until
another plane came over and
dropped a note, which said the
ground was too small for land-
ing. Later in the day Secretary
Abernathy of the Cottle County
Chamber of Commerce received
the following telegram from R.
C. Jopburg, in charge of the
Woolaroc:
“Regret very much we were
unable to land on your airport
but on account of short runway
did not feel we should risk our
lives and equipment. Sending
souvenirs, books, and am writing.”
The fact that the Woolaroc has
a world-wide reputation made it
a rather keen disappointment that
it did not land here, but after the
telegram came in everyone under-
stood the situation thoroughly.
Paducah is reminded by this in-
cident that to keep strictly abreast
of the times, as she is in most
ways, a real airport will have to
be built. This is an age which
is being served by motor vehicles
and airplanes, and good highways
and airports are becoming as
necessary as modern store build-
ings and good school houses. The
citizenship has been set to think-
ing along this line since the con-
templated visit of the noted air-
ship.

TRAVELING MUSICIANS
CITY
Tuesday morning two traveling
musicians came into town. One
played the violin while the other
was a singer and played the gui-
tar. The violinist was partially
blind while the guitar player ap-
peared to be in total darkness.
The couple were far above the
ordinary in their line. They
would . play anything from rag-
time to classical selections, and
played anything called for.
The guitar player thought he
hod happened to some real bad
luck. The string on his instru-
ment broke and it fell to the
pavement. Seemingly it was not
damaged, however, for he con-
tinued to play and the tone ap-
peared deep and harmonious.'

their audiences laughing most of
the time.

for several months, members of
the F’irst Baptist Church of this
city Sunday called Rev. J. E.
Billington of Cleveland, Okla-
homa. At a conference Sunday
Rev. Billington accepted the call
and it was stated Monday morn-
ing that he would move to Pa-
ducah within the next ten or
fourteen days and be ready to
take up the work in this charge.
This able minister preached for
the Church Sunday morning and
night, and he made a most favor-
able impression upon the large
congregation which heard him.
He is not only an able preacher,
but is a man who makes friends
easily and soon gains the friend-
ship and confidence of all with
whom he comes in contact. He
comes to Paducah with a very
bright future for years of real
accomplishment before him.
First Norther
Wed. Morning
Along about 2 o’clock Wednes-
day morning the clouds had gath-
ered nicely in the north and
northwest. Everything was still
as a Shiek desert scene. It looked
to dry humanity as though a real
soaking must come immediately.
But alas! It was all a huge error.
Like the small boy who, in his
anxiety to catch the bird, attempt-
ed to place salt on his feathered
appendage was doomed to disap-
pointment when the intended vic-
tim flew to parts unknown, far
from the saline neighborhood, so
a wind from the north puffed up
with great speed, bringing with it
a most perfect Western illustra-
tion of what flying real estate
is. When daylight dawned the
clouds were gone, no one knew
where. Likewise all semblance
of moisture had been relegated
to some foreign clime. The fellow
who sings, “I am Always Blue
When It Rains,” should be in a
paradise of contentment here, for
there are no water drops to bring
back melancholy thoughts to a
naturally gloomy nature. If dry-
ness means happiness everyone
here should be millionaires for a
gratified feeling.

poet, .every cloud has a silver

town, and District Court for the
August term was openeji.
The first day is usually taken
up with putting the grand jury
to work, and seeing about other
preparatory work.
It is said that there is quite a
docket for this term, and it is ex-
pected that much work will be
done at this time.
The court term will be held m
the new city hall. In fact it is
planned to hold all the sessions
of District and County Court in
this building until the new court-
house is ready for use.
NOTICED SIGNS OF BIG FIRE
Saturday night, between 9 and
10 o’clock, there was an indica-
tion in a direction southwest of
Paducah that a big fire was in
progress. As it is difficult to tell
anything about distance when
the sky shows a ruddy complexion
produced from a blaze, it was not
possible to tell where the blaze
was located. People here thought
it was in the Delwin commtinity.
‘ Tuesday morning a Post man
talked with J. E. Rodgers of the
Delwin section, and he stated that
there wasn’t .v-ty fire in that
community. He said he and one
of his boys climbed on their wind-
mill tower ami tried to see where
the fire could be, but that all
they could see was the reflection
on the skyline. He judged it to
be something like twenty or thir-
ty miles from his home place and
guessed it to be a ranch fire of
some kind. So far as can be
learned no report of a fire has
reached this city.
the pit to the dumping ground
for the sand and gravel which is
hauled to a central point on the
highway, west of town. The ma-
terial which is being taken from
the big gravel pit is being used
on the paving of the west end of
the Lee, or Highway No. 28.
An immense steam shovel has
been put at work in the center
of the pit. Dump trucks, drawn
by four mules, are filled with
this huge machine. It is then
hauled to a point where a com-
bination sand and gravel screen,
run by a tractor is operated. The
sand and gravel is dumped on a
wide revolving belt which takes it
into this screening machine, after
this process has been gone
through it is dumped into elevated
containers. When the trucks,
which are hauling this refined
sand and gravel to the big dump
piles on the highway, come up for
a load, a trap door is opened,
the sand and gravel dumped into
the trucks, checked by men who
do nothing else, a ticket is given
the truck driver and he is off on
his way for delivery.
Trucks are swarming to and
from this pit for about ten or
eleven hours every day. It was
estimated that there are about
50 trucks on this hauling job.
They make something like 20
round trips a day. It was said
that a truck load of sand weighed
in the neighborhood of 4,000
pounds and a truck load of gravel
weighed about 4,500 pounds. Ac
cording to these figures it can be
seen that many thousand pounds
of sand and gravel each day are
taken from this location and will
be used in the paving work on
the highway.
The big paving machine out on
the highway is putting it down in
a hurry. It was said that in the
day’s run about 800 feet of pav-
ing, the width used on the high-
way, could be spread. After the
cement has been put down by
the big machine, sacks are spread
over it and then water is put on
the sacks, that plenty of soaking
may be given the cement.
A well has been dug out in the
Tongue River neighborhood to
furnish water for this work. A
huge excavation was made for
the purpose of holding the water
as it was pumped from the well.
The water is piped from this lo-
cation to where the paving is be-
ing done. It was estimated that
in the neighborhood of 800 gal-
lons of water per hour are used
when the paving work is _ going
on full tilt.
At the gravel pit tents are
pitched at various points on the
location. Folks are living all
over the ground. There are also
several camps on the highway
where the paving work is being
done. At both places one sees
plenty of work being done, and
done in a hurry. Man and beast
must go full tilt to keep up with
the pace. \
All over Paducah the eternal
question is, “What is the matter
with the water supply?” There
are hundreds of folks who have
pretty yards and they are fearful
that all their work of getting
them in this beautiful condition
is for naught. But city officials
do not seem to think so.
The reason for the present
shortage is that the weather is
dry and hot and many thousands
more gallons of water are being
used at this time than would be
if rains had fallen and the at-
mosphere was cooler. In talking
with the mayor and the fire chief
the information was gained that
there is no shortage of water.
The wells are not failing as many
people were beginning to think.
The present number of pumps are
not adequate to take care of the
suddenly increased demand made
upon the water supply.
The W’est Texas Utilities peo-
ple are now at w'ork making a
survey to the city wells from Pa-
ducah, getting holes ready for the
erection of poles, after which the
wire will be strung and plenty of
power furnished for all necessary
pumping purposes. The city of-
ficials think that in two, and pos-
sibly three weeks, at the latest,
the present water shortage will
be corrected. When the electric
power is ready for use there will
be eight individual pumps and a
booster pump w’hich will be cap-
able of putting out 500 gallons of
water per minute. Couple this
tremendous volume of water with
what the individual pumps will
do, and it can readily be seen
that in a few hours’ time there
will be no shortage.
A huge sand trap or storage
tank is being dug, and this will
be completed in a short time. It
will have a capacity of 300,000
gallons of water.
When the improvements which
are now being worked on at the
wells have been completed it is
estimated that a water supply
capable of furnishing a town
twice the size of Paducah will be
had.
Water Superintendent Smith
this week requested water users
to be as conservative as possible
for the next two or three weeks,
or until the additional pumps can
be put in operation.
Judging from reports from the
city officials there is no reason
for any alarm about a permanent
shortage of water. It is merely
a matter of the present equip-
ment not being able to take care
of the sudden demand made upon
it during the present hot, dry
weather. When the new equip-
ment arrives, and when the stor-
age tank has been finished it is
thought there will be no shortage
in the future. There will no
doubt be an inconvenience until
the matter can thus be remedied,
and the co-operation of the water
users is urgently asked in the
matter until the remedy is per-
fected.
Revival Closed
At Dumont
GAVE DEMONSTRATION
Saturday Mr. H. T. Sharp,
special demonstrator for the Nes-
co Saftematic Stove, gave some
interesting talks on the merits of
his product at the Christian-
Stokes hardware store. He
showed the people how the gaso-
line-burning stove worked, ex-
plained its safety, and let them
know that those who were living
in places not accessible to gas
could still have all the advantages
of this kind of heating and cook-
ing fuel.
There were several hundred
people in the Christian-Stokes
Co. store during the day, seeing
how the stove worked and learn-
