Coleman
QET you a newspaper and a pillow.
This ft, going to be just like a real
sermon—long and not much to It.
We have an irksome task trying to
keep1 newspaper1 men1 in the' heart of
Texas intelligently Informed. It is
just as hard for us to keep them
right on various subjects as it is
for other pastors to keep their flocks
in the straight and narrow path.
When we get one straightened out
another breaks over the traces, caus-
ing us to have to write longer than
we would if they would see the light
as we flash it to them. We are al-
most regusted.

JIM WHins, who sits at the head of
the Supper Table at the Brown-
wood Bulletin office and tells ban-
queteers all about predestination, is
the most unruly pupil we have. He
contends that pants are plural. We
insist they are both singular and
plural—singular at the top and plur-
al at the bottom. In a feeble effort
to break down our logical reasoning
he mixes pants with molasses, a
combination no one looks upon with
favor. Molasses in pants would be
very uncomfortable. Below is what
he has to say on the subject.
• . * * •
ii|F there were not so much of mis-
information in the world, our
dally task would be much simpler |
than it is, and we would have time
to think of the esthetic and the
beautiful and to meditate • upon
medltational matters Instead of hav-
ing to labor like a legislative com-
mitteeman from dawn to dark every
day. We don’t object to labor, but
It is the necessity which drives us to
It that is Irksome. We have always
thought that it would be nice to la
bor as a matter of choice, and we arc
always thinking of a great- many
things we would like to do! but ev-
ery time we get to the point of do-
ing them John Williamson up at
Coleman gets wrong again and then
we are required to take up the rou-
ble task of correcting his error.

JTS OETTING downright monot-
onous, in fact. “The man who
sits at the head of the Supper Table
In Tha Brownwood Bulletin,” John
writes in the current Democrat-
Voice, ‘‘needs a little instruction this
week before we conclude. He is put-
ting out propaganda that should not
be permitted to go through the post-
office. He tells his listeners that
pants is plural. Our contention is
that pants is both singular and plur-
al. At the top they are singular
and at the bottom plural.’’ It isn't
so, of course, because they always
come in pairs, and a pair isn’t singu-
lar.
1 Farmers Urged B
Get Loans For
Rehabilitation
JOHN WAS thinking, perhaps,
about molasses. Molasses is sin-
gular under some circumstances and
plural under some others, depending
upon whether one speaks of how
much or how many. Pants, however,
are invariably plural, and the only
occasion when they have a singular
appearance is when they are worn by
the wrong sex. At the risk of being
called a reactionary old fossil, we
feel it is our duty to point out that
a woman wearing pants is as unlove-
ly as a bishop wearing a Mother
Hubbard. We have faithfully de-
fended bobbed hair, equal political
and economic rights, and even the
right of women to smoke if they feel
like it; but the line must be drawn
somewhere, and a woman wearing
pants is the Insufferable limit.
• * •
’jpHE RIGHT to wear pants, as a
symbol of masculine authority
and an evidence of masculine superi-
ority, is about the only one that is
left to us men. The women have
copied all our bad habits, and have
seized and appropriated to them-
selves all our once glorious privi-
leges and prerogatives, and if we
supinely sit down and unprotesting-
ly permit them to wear our gar-
ments we might as well surrender
hope and take up tatting and em-
broidery.’’
• * * •
IF WE had been thinking about mo-
lasses. as Jim seems to believe,
,,e would have asked him if it is
proper, around his Supper Table, to
say pass them molasses, pass those
molasses or pass the molasses? Mo-
lasses are never singular, and White,
above all other persons, ought to
know it. The eater could never get
as messed up with just one molasses
as he usually does when eating them.
• * * •
JJUT We can't spend too much
time on any one subject this
week. Mrs. Mary E. McMahan
wants to come to Coleman from her
Newcastle home to teach us some-
thing about predestination. That
will be alright, but we don't want
her, or any other person, to try to
tell us anything about fishing and
gardening. We hold a LLB degree
from a fishing and gardening college

SHOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
CONGRESSIONAL APPROPRIA-
TION MADE FOR PURPOSE.
R. G. Hollingsworth, chairman of
the Coleman county drouth relief
committee of the American Red
Cross, has just received a letter from
Wm. M. Baxter, Jr., of St. Louis,
assistant to the vice chairman of
the Red Cross* that will be of inter-
est to Coleman county people in
need of funds with which to rehab-
ilitate their farms. Mr. Baxter’s let-
ter is given below for the benefit of
Democrat-Voice readers:
“Supplementing my letter to you
of March 11,1 am attaching copy of
regulations relative to the loans for
Agricultural Rehabilitation under
the $20,000,000 Congressional approp-
riation approved February 14, 1931.
I cannot too strongly urge that the
leaders of each community take the
initiative in seeing that every drouth
farmer who can qualify for a loan
under this appropriation, and who
cannot secure funds to care for his
needs locally, make application for
a loan from the Government at the
earliest possible moment.
The relief program In which the
Red Cross has been engaged had for
its purpose meeting the emergency
needs. Our program did not con-
template rehabilitation measures
and it is therefore imperative that
every resource that the Federal and
State Government have made avail-
able be utilized to tljp fullest possi-
ble extent and further that every ef-
fort be made to stimulate local cred-
it resources as it is only a short time
now before the Red Cross will be
bringing its drouth relief activities
to a close.’’
iarney Carter
To Sell Oil to
Abilene Co.
Information received in Coleman
says that Barney Carter has con-
tracted to sell oil from his No. 1
Goodson near Novice to the Abilene
Refining Company at 50 cents per
barrel, including from 500 to 600
barrels in storage at the present
time. The wells flows from 50 to
100 barrels daily by heads.
According to Mr. Goodson several
other wells are to be drilled in the
area and production during the year
may be very materially increased.
At the present time the Carter well
is the only producer.

Welfare League
Gets Quilt Made
By School Pupils
When children and teachers in
the Starkweather school came to
Coleman Saturday for the inter-
scholastic league events they
brought with them a quilt they
had made for the local Welfare
League home and displayed it in
the show windows at this office.
The quilt contained figures,
representing thirty pupils and the
names of each. Miss Bessie Lee
Sikes is principal of the school
and Miss Lucile Burkett, daughter
Df Arthur Burkett at the Central
State Bank, is one of the teach-
ers.
The quilt represents consider-
able work and will no doubt be
duly appreciated by the recipient.

APPROXIMATELY 250 AIDED
WITH GOVERNMENT CHECKS
AVERAGING $150
Approximately $37,500 have been
received in Coleman by County Farm
Agent C. V. Robinson for farmers
in the county who have made made
application for government funds
with which to purchase seed. The
total is made up of $2.50 checks that
average $150 each. They are still
arriving daily, the farm agent said,
and it is impossible at this time to
make an accurate estimate of the
total amount that will come into
the county because applications for
rehabilitation funds are just now be
ing made.
Some Idea of the rapidity with
which the work is being handled by
government agencies will be gained
by knowledge of the fact that Mon
day’s mall brought 54 checks that
totaled $8,220.50. and another batch
received Tuesday.
Mr. Robinson has been very busy
handling details for farmers and ex-
pects to devote his time to the im-
portant business for the next sever-
al weeks. Farmers who have not
already made application for rehab-
ilitation loans are urged by him, as
well as Red Cross workers, to do
at once.

In County Are
y Getting Checks
Considerable interest in Coleman
oil circles was created yesterday
when announcement was made that
Jameson, Pollard & Forster have
what promises to be a good oil pro-
ducer on Kingsbery estate tend in
the Santa Anna section.
Eight-inch casing was pulled yes-
terday and oil flowed over the der-
rick through a six-inch open hole.
The gas sand was drilled through
and the oil sand was touched at
1364 feet and estimated production
from the well in its unfinished state
is variously estimated at from 50 to
60 barrels.
The three men have another pro-
ducer in the block but have no pipe
line connection at the present time.

MORE THAN 50 PER CENT
LESS THAN IN 1929.
W. J. Tatum, cotton statistician
for Coleman county, has finished
counting bales for his uncle Sam
from the'crop of 1930. In a report
handed to this office Monday morn-
ing he shows that 11,764 bales were
ginned to March 1. He will make
no other trips to gins until harvest-
ing of the 1931 crop starts. To
March 1, 1929, the total yield was

$450. By this calculation the total
amount that has been received in

The program for the day. Mr.

but some man will be selected to
make a short address and Jimmie
King’s band will furnish music. Oth-

Hundreds of pecan trees have been
set in the park and flower beds have
been adopted and will be cared for
by Coleman business concerns and
organizations and already a friendly
rivalry, apparently, has come Into
existence and each bed owner It
seems is trying to outdo the fellow
owning the adjacent bed.
The old W. R. McClellan flower

Nannie Ayres, has been moved to a
northeast comer of the grounds and
will be a domicile for a caretaker.
Water pipes have been laid to all
parts of the park and better electric
wiring will be Installed.
Mr. Luckett Is anxious for those
who have selected beds to have them
ready for the opening date. Those
who have not taken beds are, asked
to do so at once and begin the work
of beautification.
“Equipment for two tennis court*
has already been donated,” Mr.

The tables used by picnic parties
have been moveef from the bed of
the creek to a higher point so that
floods in Hord creek will not longer
damage them.
Wiring will be so arranged that
light in the park dance pavllllon
can be turned on by the caretaker

night he can detect i
