Constable’s Car
It is the duty of our offi-
cers of the law to make an
attempt to recover cars that
are believed to have been sto-
len or removed from their
parking places. J. C. Collard,
constable of this precinct,
was very much perturbed
about h s twn car last week.
The constable couldn’t locate
his auto and he just knew
ihat some thief had taken
it for a “joy ride.” After
making a thorough search
without avaii, he *eca..e«
that- he had taken it to a ga-
rage for repairs.

More Games Are
Needed io Equip
Camp Maxey Room
Since donations were re-
quested last week, Hcney
Grove has made a fairly good
beginning toward equipping
a day room at Camp Maxey.
The most needed things at
present are games — domi-
noes, parches!, m o n epoly,
ping-pong, or any game you
think a soldier would enjoy
playing. Other articles want-
ed at one* are paper back
bock, pocket size; new or old
pencils, jelly glasses, and
bottles with screw tops. If
you have any of the above
articles, please take time to
gather them up and take
them to the Service Room,
east side cf the square, on
Saturday when the building
is open, or notify any one of
the following, who are assist-
ing in the work; Mrs. W. B.
Rieves, Mrs. Me Eversole, R.

The program, dreorat on*
and menu, which were under
titles, and various medals
and decorations cf our boys
in the service. Do they wor-
ry you?
About this time of year we
used to begin to worry about
all the college degrees show-
ered so freely and promis-
cuously on graduates and
wealthy or influential friends
of the oollege, and our wtrry
began in wondering how to
address one of the recipients
of such degrees. But that
worry is past. It is all over-
shadowed by the crop of mili-
tary degrees and honors and
titles.
When one of our boys
comes back aifd I look at that
cute little cap, and those
stripes on his sleeve, and th*
insignia cn collar or shoul-
ders, and the colors and va-
rious things pinned on his
breast, what shall 1 call him
and how shall 1 salute him?
1 do not know, and I am
worried.
When the war is over and
our heroes cone home, 1 am
sure we will all want to do
them the proper honors they
ue»e«v«, mm mi mmgu* in full
measure. But again . I an?
worried. There will be a lot
of different kinds cf gen-
erals, and colonels, and lieu-
tenants and sergeants, and
maybe different kinds of cor-
porals and majors, etc. But
I won’t know just who or
what they are and what kind
of what, cr what they want,
or what 1 should do, or how I
should salute, I tell you I am
worried. Then there are in
the service more than 700 of
my former college boys who
were in my classes, and I
used to call them Tom and
Bill and Harry apd Ken.
What shall I call them now?
Why 1 have a boy who used
to come in and talk with me
by the hour; but now he is a
brigadier general. 1 always
called him “D^n.” Must I
now call him Brigadier Gem
eral Strothers, and properly
salute? And how must I sa-
lute? And he has so many
medals and all kinds of deco-
rations. Musi I auk him
about them, and if so, what
must I ask him? More worry!
Then there are all those
boys of the Navy — not to
mention those in ine air ser-
vice. I don’t know what
their decorations mean and
what their titles are or how
! should ' aahite or what I
should call them. Yes, I AM
worried. Are you? Can you
help me out? I think they
merit all the honor v,e can
bestow on them and I want to
do my part and do it well.

The trio is engaged in the
poultry business on the deck
floor at the rear portion cf
the Welch store. Instead of
elevator service you ascend
by stairway. An electric in-
cubator does the hatching
work of several setting hens
and a brooder is nearby to
care for the babes until they
reach the broiler stage. Only
s small space is utilized and
great results in chick raising
is expected. Back to the firm

Is Now at Home
Norma Dean Williams, 14-
year-old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. A. P. Williams, who left
her home on April 17 for an
unknown d e s tination, was
found Sunday by her father.
Mr. Williams decided to make
a search fof his daughter
and was standing at the
northwest corner of the
square on the highway wait-
ing for a ride. A car sal ea-
rn an from Tipton, Okla.,
picked him up and Mr. Wil-
liams told him he was search-
ing for his daughter that was
lost. And a strange co-
incident is that he had picked
up the girl the other ride of
Bonham. He took Mr. Wil-
liams to Tipton and there he
found his daughter. She was
working in a cafe.
The entire William family
is new happy after the re-
turn of their daughter and
sister. Many restless nights
and day* were spent during
her absence.
