in sentiment is noticeable in
financial circles toward all
phases of the Prex tent's re-

larly in the case of NBA,
which "financiers had criticized
severely for many weeks.
Many of them are now being
quoted in the financial sections
of newspapers as being con-
vinced that NBA is “getting
somewhere.”
Last week’s business com-
parisons reported to the Fed-
eral Reserre showed that bus-
iness in dollars as shown by
the number of checks cashed
all over the country was 15.6
per cent of the same period
last year. The Department of
Labor reports employment as
“steady, with a gain of 23.5
per cent over a year ago,
which wages have advanced in
the period 34.3 per cent,” and
the trend in reemployment is
declared to be gradually up-
ward in all branches of in
dustry and trade.

Chicago, Dec. 19.—The grit
of rural boys and girls in find-
ing opportunities for self ad-
vancement against obstacles is
graphically illustrated in the
records of the national 4-H
champions in leadership and
achievement just announced by
the National Committee on
Boys and Girls Club Work
which conducts the contests
annually in cooperation with
mate and federal extension
agents.
The boy leadership cham-
pion., Hugo Granmana. aged
20, of Granite, Okla., deter-
mined not to let 4-H club work
taffer when, in 1931, the coun-
ty commissioners voted out the
county agent. He rallied hi*
club mates, laid out a program
and with their help carried on
so successfully that his county
became a famous 4-H center
in the state. It sent demon-
stration teams to the state fair
which captured two champion-
ships. The 4-H county fair
was conducted with great suc-
cess in spite of decreased pre-
miums. To climax his efforts
G raumann ran a club mate for
state 4-H president and had
him elected. Now he has suc-
ceeded in having a county
agent voted back. At the
same time the boy has carried
on a heavy program of practi-
cal projects. The total in-
come of his 8 years cf work is
14,423.75.

Editor Timpson Times:
With your kind indulgence
for space in your paper, would
like to say a few words in
reference to Timpson and sur-
rounding territory. I believe
it is good for us to stop and
ponder through life, so that
we may appreciate our advan-
tages.
This time one year ago the
future looked dark for a great
number of people in our terri-
tory, and the only thing we
could do was “smile” and trust
for better thiags. We all re-
member when banks were
closing, and it finally reached
the stage where it was neces-
sary for the President to close
all banks, until they could and
did open on a firmer basis.
We have lot* to be thankful
for this year. We raised a good
tomato crop, receiving a fair
beer, looked down upon. She
travelled 5,577 stiles visiting
parents and club members, and
staged many demonstrations
and plays to visualize the
value of 4-H training. Her
success opened a way to con-
tinue her education at the
University of Wisconsin.
Marcus Teeter, Jr., age lfi,
Granada, Martin County,
Minn., is national achieve-
ment hoy champion. Gross in-
come of his 8 years in club
work is $5438.96. a major
part of which was received
from handling the farm <5i.lt
of turkey.-, from which he re-
ceived 10 per cent of the
gross receipts from his father.
In the 8 years he produced 7,-
900 birds which were finished
for the best markets.
Lillian Murphy, age 19,
Bremen, St. Joseph. County,
Iud., national girl achieve-
ment champion, acquired such
skill in home arts that she was
chosen a junior leader. In thia
capacity she trained 22 dem-
onstration and judging teams
which made fine records. In
coaching them she often had
to travel distances and face
hard weather. She personally
took part in 44 public exhibi-

-College Station, Dec. 16.—
An immediate survey of rural
housing in twenty-five Texas
counties as a preliminary step
in developing a public works
program for improvement of
the farm home and its equip-
ment has been announced by
Miss Mildred Horton, state
home demonstration agent of
the Texas A. A M. Extension
Service. This is a Public
Works Administration project
in which the U. S. Bureau of
Home Economics, the U. 8. Bu-
reau of Agricultural Engineer-
ing and the Extension Service
have been requested to co-
operate.
The Texas survey will be in
charge of Mrs. Bernice Clay-

ment specialist, assisted by D.,

price for same. Our cotton
crop was cut short by the July
flood, but, through the wise
leadership of President Roose-
velt, we received more benefit
than in 1982. Our sweet po-
tato and syrup crops are good.
I believe we should continue to
raise a well balanced crop and
would like to see more toma-
toes another year.
Our people are getting er
pkyment through CWA in
great numbers now, and we
look for this to continue
through February, 1934. The
Government is setting up a
credit bank for agriculture,
which will function early in
January, 1934. Also our local
banks will be able to do more
than for past few years.
In conclusion, let me say
that the future looks brighter
for Timpson and her trade
territory than for the past
several years. Let us study
the other fellow, overlooking
his faults, and cooperate with
one another and w* shall have
a better place in which to live.

Money acquired quickly has a tendency
to go as fast. Accumulated slowly it
lasts ami lasts. While you can't become
rich by just saving, you will never be
rich if you don’t save. You can have
anything if you can save. You can save
if you must. You must if you want to
have anything.
This bank assures you of every facility
—courtesy—service and safety—in your
plans, and it is a pleasure to serve you.
