HOOVER GILLS
JTILITY READS
Washington. Nov. 27.—
Owen D. Young of the General
Electric company, Samuel In-
sull of the Commonwealth Edi-
son company and George B.
Cortelyou of the Consolidated
Gas company, and 25 other
public utility magnates were
invited by President Hoover
Tuesday for the last of his
business conferences, set for
10 a. m. Wednesday at the
White House.
These officials met Tuesday
in New York and will give the
president a first hand report of
what happened there.
It was said at the White
House that efforts to put into
practical force tlje ideas the
president has initiated here-
after will remain with the con-
stituted agencies.
WEEKLY TIMES
51.00 PER YEAR.
ONLY
our boys of the Timpson coun-
try, I announced that prizes
would be given to boys mak-
ing the best records in the
Boys’ Corn Club which I or-
ganized. This contest for the
season is closed, and the re-
sults were very encouraging.
The club started out this year
with forty-three joining—all in
good faith with each of the
boys determined to beat each
other, but with lots of them
the rain and overflows set in,
and after several^ plantings
with some of the boys, another
overflow came and washed
away their com—even, the sec-
ond and third plantings, and
the ones that were knocked
out possibly did as much work
on their acre as the ones that
stayed in to the end.
I am proud of these boys. It
shows to me that the old farms
of our country can make com
in old Shelby county—and es-
pecially around Timpson. If
you don’t believe it, get some
of these Corn Club boys to
show you. I have had several
fathers of the club boys to tell
me instead of planting twenty
and twenty-five acres a year
and making ten and fifteen
bushels, that they were going to
quit it and plant five acres and
make 100 busheU per acre.
They said they know they can
do it, and I know so too, now.
I want to say to the citizens
of Timpson and our communi-
ty, let’s encourage these young
men more. They will learn
the older ones something.
Now, T regret all of the boys
couldn’t get premiums, but
still it’s paid you just the same.
You count your work, time
and fertilizer and all of the
work you put on the acre and
then count in your com at
$1.00 per bushel, deduct and
see what it paid you.
I am giving the winner
$50.00 in cash and the second
winner a nice suit of clothes.
I am going to have the win-
ners report published in full;
sorry its so I couldn’t have all
of 24, and personnel to serve at
$10 per day and expenses
while transacting official busi-
ness.
In spite of Govei nor Moody’s
appeal to the legislature in his
formal message to reduce
boards and commissions and
consolidate departments in the
interest of efficiency and eco-
nomy, the lawmakers created
some new ones.
The board of education has
nine members, not including a
committee of five appointed by
it to consider textbook adop-
tions. This makes 14 persons
serving in connection with it.
The barbers’ board has four
members, this being a new
commission.
The game, fish and oystet
commission of six members was
created to replace the game,
fish and oyster commissioner,
who remains, however, as exe-
cutive secretary of the commis-
sion. '
published of which there are
several who made more corn,
according to the amount of
fertilizer, used.
The winner of first prize was
Ozro Compton with 83 bushels
to the acre.
The second winner was La-
elaire Bailey, with 73 bushels
and 6 pounds.
Other good records:
Annis . Aron Terry, 70
bushels and 7 pounds.
Vernon Humphries, 60
bushels.
Hilliard Milford, 51%
bushels. ‘
Harry Whiteside, 47 bushels
and 47 pounds.
Donnie Harvey, 41 bushels
and 37 pounds.
I would be glad to show all
of these reports to everybody.
They are worth reading, ft
would help lots of you fellows
who have been trying to make
corn and didn’t know how.
Boys, yours for a better year.
R. T, Blair.

Probable’ fair weather for
Thanksgiving Day in Mississip-
pi, Louisiana and Texas was in-

A Shawl Worth $200,000
When the Pilgrims Landed
On "the stern and rock-bound coast” they came, to {!
found a new- land dedicated to personal and religious j;
liberty. ‘
Little did they dream of the great, prosperous laud j \
that this nation is now. Progress since the Pilgrims
landed has been rapid, and is constantly accelerating.
But it was their forethought and prudence that laid
the foundations of our present prosperity and freedom.
Let us, too, be prudent, and exercise foresight, in order to
ensure an even greater America in the future.
Do rot waste. The Pilgrims could not! .
Celebrate Thanksgiving by opening an account. It
is the best thing you can do.

The Spirit of Thanksgiving
Foresight—prudence—consideration for the future
—these are the things that comprise’the Spirit of Thanks-

vouchsafed to us, let us resolve to be prudent that these
blessings may not be dissipated as time marches on. Let
us resolve this Thanksgiving to save so that we have
! • plenty in the Thanksgivings to come.
