six candidates will run for 12
state-wide offices in the Demo-
cratic primary eleection on

ance of an unexpired term, has

border area, focused new at-
tention to this sector Saturday.
With one test near comple-
tion, another at the halfway
level and a third spudding, all
in separate districts, Pure Oil
Company and iBenedum ft

ning deep prospects at early
dates.
Pore's test was reported by
some sources as being on its
Joaquin block, 3350 acres, in
the Joaquin area, where Por-
tex Oil Company and Redditt
ft Gray opened gas-distillate
production in both-the Paluxy
and the Glenrose. The com-
pany’s test, it was reported,
will be between these areas,
although it holds another
block, of some 3,364 acres, to
th Center area.
New Tost Spudded

dum ft Trees was planning a
test about four and one-half
milees north and northeast of

ing Lumber Company, paying
310 per acre, for the operation.

to start in thirty days, it was
said.
The newest test in the coun-
ty is Redditt ft Gray No. 1-A
Pickering, 2,700 feet north of
it Paluxy sand gas discovery,

have spudded and set one
joint of casing.
In the Tenaha area, Mallard

hole at No. 1 Roller heirs, a
6,500-foot prospect, at 3,244,
after killing salt water flow at
this depth. The other test, Cen-
ter oil Company No. 1 W. C.
Windham, at Shelbyville, con-
tinued testing at 3,422 after
looming as an estimated 300-
barrel daily producer. Opera-
tors are expected to standard-
ize during the week. On com-

Federal Represen-

Senator Hill And
Other East Texas
Citizens.
J. P. Hatch, marketing spe-
cialist, and M. A. Clevtoger,
purchasing agent, for the Fed-
eral Surplus Commodities Cor-
poration, Washington, D. C.,
met with tomato growers, mer-
chants and other business men
at the Randolph Hotel in Hen-
derson Sunday night to re-
sponse to a plea that some ac-
tion be taken in an attempt to
relieve the disastrous situation
whicn faces the tomato grow-
ers of East Texas and other
points.
With Senator Joe Hill pre-
siding, representatives from
the several counties, related
the situation in their respective
localities, giving an estimate
of the cost of production, prob-
able percentage of crop mar-
keted and that yet to be sold,
proportion of number one and
number two tomatoes, and
such other information as
woutd tend to give a dear pic-
ture of the tomato situation in
this locality.
Mr. Hatch said that it was
his purpose to give the grower
an opportunity to present
data and information, which
in turn could be passed on to
the Federal Surplus Commodi-
ties Corporation for final dispo-
sition. As we understand it, to
the event of purchase of toma-
toes, these would not be sold,
bat would be turned over for
relief. Should the government
lend assistance to the tomato
industry, the quantity that
they can buy is the amount
that can be distributed without
waste, the official stated. Mr.

NEED,” MW FIRST
J. J. Compton, postmaster,
has received bulletin from the
Post Office Department, an-
nouncing “Clean Up Rural Box
Week.” The department says
to pert, “Unserviceable and
unsightly rural nail boxes both
retard the delivery of mail
and detract from the natural
scenic beauty of the highway.
Particularly to be deplored
are the nonregulation, old-
type, top-opening boxes, ss
well as makeshift reeeptaclees
which expose mail to the ele-
ments. It is the desire of the
Department not only to cor-
rect the above mentioned un-
satisfactory situation but to
encourage all rural mail pat-
rons generally to possess pride
in their boxes, both in the
manner of erection, neat
stenciling and tidy appear-
ance.”
