Sara W. Richards
Buried Friday
Mrs. Sarah W. Richards, age
82 years, two months and eight
days, prominent Cottle county
resident for 15 years, died Thurs-
day, April 15th.
Funeral services were conduct-
ed Friday afternoon at four
o’clock from the First Christian
Church, with Rev. R. C. Brown
of Spur, former pastor of the
Paducah church, officiating. Inter-
ment was in the city cemetery.
Immediate survivors are three
sons, Lawrence Richards, Sem-
inole, Texas; Wilson Richards,
Celeste, Texas; Joe D. Richards,
Paducah; and four daughters, Miss
Willie Richards, Miss Ina Rich-
ards, Mrs. Nora Goodwin and
Mrs. Grady Haven, all of Padu-
cah.
Mrs. Richards had been a mem-
ber of the Christian Church for
many years.
Mrs. Richards was one of those
loving mothers, whose death will
cause heartaches by the splendid
family she has left behind, but
they can have the assurance that,
in the ressurection day, the fam-
ily can be reunited.

Bulova Watch To
Be Given Away
For the past five years, it has
been the policy of C. A. Killings-
worth to give a watch to a senior
somewhere over the county at
graduation time.
An eight day clock with one
hand will be placed in the window
at his place of business, with the
name of each senior in the county-
on the face of the clock. If the
hand stops on the name of a boy,
he will receive a beautiful Ameri-
can Clipper Bulova; if a girl, she
will be presented with a lovely
Lady Bulova.
County seniors have been pour-
ing into Killingsworth’s place for
the past several days registering
for this event. He expects to start
the hand moving on the clock
next Monday.
Oh! You Would
Say That
One Paducah belle says she is
a smart girl who uses little make-
up for it makes people think she
is as somebody whoVioesn t need
it.
“Nature evens things up,' says
W. A. Bishop, “only those who
can afford a stomach specialist
car. afford the fancy foods that
make ’em sick”.
“It is said that Germany has a
“secret debt” of fifty billion
marks. But it’s no secret that
she’ll never pay what she owes
us,” so says Q. McGowan.
A Paducah bachelor says the
modern girl doesn’t seem to be
afraid of anything but a stack of
dirty dishes.
NEW ONES BY AMERICA’S
LEADING SHIRT STYLIST
We’ve just opened out latest shipment of Arrow shirts
. . . and their new stripes and checks are the neatest —
bar none — that we’ve ever cast eyes on.
You can take it for granted that these patterns are as
correct as they are handsome, for Arrow is the foremost
style authority on shirts. Every Arrow, moreover, it

As County Agent Williams sees
it. the only creature that can go
on a sit-down strike and still pro-
duce the goods is a hen.
“Way couldn’t the country have
had all these sit-down strikes dur-
ing the depression where there
wasn’t anything else for men to
do?,” so says J. E. Ncrris.
“News by radio can’t take the
place of a newspaper,” asserts a
Post reader, “because you can’t
hunt it up later to settle an argu-
ment”.

B. H. Richardson says it has
been his observation thal some
men can lie simply by smil.ng and
saying nothing.
“A man is always eager to help
another man,” declares Pat Jones
“if he sees a chance to help him-
self at the same time”.
Tom Williams says, “Silence
is golden, but many a man has
been talked out of his silver”.

WTUC Published
Anniversary Paper
“A graphic picture of the in-
terests and activities of the re-
gion served by the West Texas
Utilities Company’ was the des-
cription of that company’s recent
S il v e r Anniversary newspaper
publication as made by the Na-
tional Research Bureau, Inc.,
which sent 150 copies of the Re-
porter-News section to industrial
and business firms throughout the
nation, it was learned here.
The information about Paducah
and West Texas, including every
major industry, natural resource
and agricultural product, looms as
valuable publicity for the entire
region.
The National Research Bureau,
in its editorial comment on the
edition, says:
“From a modest concern sup-
plying light and power to only
one town—Abilene—to a huge or-
ganization serving 160 communi-
ties in 49 counties. All that grow-
th in the short span of 25 years!
No wonder the West Texas Utili-
ties Company, with headquarters
in Abilene, made so much, re-
cently, of its Silver Anniversary!
“Through the courtesy of Gene
Elo (editor of the section) of
the New Business Department of
that utility we hand you a copy
of the Silver Anniversary supple-
ment of the Abilene Reporter-
News. Twenty pages of it—a
complete, informative, interesting
newspaper in itself.
“The editorial content presents
a graphic picture of the interests
and activities of the region served
by the West Texas Utilities Com-
pany, while the advertising—of
manufacturers, mtractors, and
dealers—testih the high rec-
ord in which t, -anization is
held. Sixty thous. ''pies of the
supplement were ributed to
consumers through* the terri-
tory.”
