Miss Amanda Pochman
Passes Away Friday
OBITUARY.
On Friday July 28 1935 as
the day was coming to a close
God called home one of His
faithful followers Miss Amanda
Pochman who had been ill for
a long period of her life.
All that could be done by lov-
ed ones friends and medical
skill failed to give back her
health yet prolonged her life
and she has indeed been a bless
ing to her family and the entire
community in which she lived.
She spent one year in Mayo
Bros" Hospital in Rochester
inn. during which time when
told by her surgeon there was
only one chance in a thousand
she smilingly said "I'll take the
chance."
Amanda was born October 23
1888 in the same home in which
she died. Survivors are four
brothers Will and Oscar Poch-
man Bartlett Charlie Kaase
San Angelo; Lewis Kaase of
George West other relatives
and a host of friends. Her father
and mother preceded her in
death sqme eleven years. Funer-
al services were held at the
Methodist Church Sunday July
28 cqnducted by her pastor
Rev. G. H. Sisserson who paid a
beautiful tribute to the depart-
ed one. "Truly" he said "we
should 'hang our heads in shame
to think of the cheerfulness of
Amandas life m comparison to
our own complaining selves."
Pall bearers were Grover Ku-
ler Homer Whitfield Clarence
Berry Leon Roberts Dr. R. S.
Suttpn J. K. Knight. Amanda
was laid to rest in the Bartlett
cemetery among a bank of beau-
tiful flowers (which reflected
only a small portion of the beau-
ty of her life.
Jesus said it is more blessed
to give than to receive and tru-
ly she gave to everyone who en-
tered her presence gave rnspi-
ration courage a desire and de-
termination to be a hetter per
son.
When God said to. Amanda "I
have work forjyou to do" she
did not say get some one else or
wait till I get through but
worked untiringly with her
cheerfulness and sweet ever
present smile. Not only find-
ing joy in life but giving joy to
others.
Even though she was confin-
ed to her bed for a score and
more years her life touched
more lives than many who never
had affliction.
It matters r.ot hew long we
live but how well ; and truly she
lived her life well. Death is an
alleviation to mortals worn out
with suffering but none cbuld
have born their affliction with
more patience. She bore intense
pain but was never too weary
for that smile that was hers
and a kind and encouraging
word.
She was so full of courage her
example has been quoted from
pulpits and over radio many
times. Amanda completely for-
got self and thought of others
on to the last days of her earth-
ly life. She bore more intense
pain the last few days yet she
continued to wear that smile
that belonged to Amanda.

Dor W. Brown Offers
Remedy For Control
Of Cotton Worms
(By Dor W. Brown)
The recent rains will cause
the general infestation of leaf
and boll worms to be (worse than
they would have been without
the rains. From all appearances
the cotton will be entirely eaten
up if the farmer does not make
an effort to poison. The boll
worm is very bad over some sec-
tions and the leaf wormseems
tp be scattered over the "entire
County. Every -farmer--should
have his' poison on hand and his
machines oiled and ready and
the minuete he sees the worms
destroying too much cotton he
should poison. The leaf worm
strikes sometimes over the en-
tire section with the same hatch
and it is about two weeks be-
fore there is another hatch and
the second time it will destroy
the cotton very quickly; how-
ever sometimes there is a con-
tinual hatching and a gradual
increase. The farmers should
keep a close watch on their cot-
ton poisoning the boll worms'.
Sometimes it does a great deal
Jjnkas ifc d0 not always catch

the worm before he gets inside
of the boll. Poisoning for leaf
worms is easy and anyone can
kill leaf wprms. The best meth-
od being calcium arsenate. A
good dust or spray of calcium
also helps to rid the cotton of
boll worms. The first two or
three davs of the boll worm's
life he is very small and crawls
over the leaf and shack of the
boll hunting a boll for his home.
During these two or three
days of his life if he erets a dose
of poison while hunting a boll it
will dull ihim. After he finds a
boll he cannot be controlled.
Calcium arsnate dusted at the
rate of 5 pounds per acre is suf-
ficient for average cotton ; how-
ever if the cotton grown is rank
it will sometimes take 10 pounds
per acre. If calcium arsenate is
used ina spray use from 3 to 5
pounds to 50 gallons of water.
Calcium arsenate settles to the
bottom and an agitator must be
kept inthe barrel at all times
Calcium arsenate although the
best control manufactured for
leaf worm boll worm and boll
weevil is possibly the highest
cost per acre of the control mea-
sures and it is very hard to find
a supply anywhere in the State.
The second best method for
the control of cotton worms is

NOTICE DELINQUENT
TAX PAYERS.
For the past several vears.
the City Council has been inten
tionally lenient with those who
were short in cash and were un
able to pay their taxes. The
State also was lenient and re-
peatedly extended the time for
the payment of taxes. Many
people who were able to pay
their taxes took advantage of
this leniency and all of this has
made it burdensome on the City.
Fortunately for the City our
water system had quite a sur-
plus and this was used to span
the lean years. This money must
be returned to the water fund
and there are enough delinquent
taxes due the City to'nav it
back.
For this reason at tie earn-
est recommendation of ihe-
Board of Equalization the City
Council determined to make an
energetic campaign during the
fall months for the collection of
all deliquent taxes filing suits
whenever necessary. Now is the
.time for all delinquents to make
their plans to pay their taxes
and also delinquent .water ac-
counts. Partial payments will
be accepted if kept up faithful-
ly. Signed
47-50 CITY COUNCIL.
