• First bales ire beginning
to arrived at - arious Texas
towns. Timpson is expecting
her first bale of co.ton from
the 1951 crop at an esrly date,
and judging from past nicords
it won’t be long now. Lass year
the first bale was received Au-
gust 24th, and in 1949 the first
bale was brought in on August
4th.
• Tell you what let’s dot
How about a little guessing
contest- Maybe it will take our
mind off this hot weather.
What day and month do you
think Timpson will receive her
first bale of 1951 cotton grown
in this area? Sit right down
and drop "This'n That” a post-
card with your guess and the
one coming the nearest to the
date will be declared the
champion prognosticator of
the year. That’s worth work-
ing for.
• August begins next Wed-
nesday which brings to mind
that in another month or so
we'll be yelling our heads off
for a touchdown. Seems like
an awful long time since we
saw a football game.
• Since we have been read-
ing a lot about the big flood in

•Sold Out: As the train
pulled into the station, a
traveler on the platform called
to a boy and tosseu him a coin.
“Son,” he said, ‘ >ere’s 50c.
Get me a sandwicl and get
one for yourself.”
Just as the train was pulling
out, the boy returned to the
platfom where the passenger
was waiting. “Here’s your
quarter, mister," he shouted.
‘They had only one sand-
wich.”— T oastmaster's Hand-
book.
• Putting It Gently: A meek
little man in a restaurant
timidly touched the arm of a
man putting on a coat. “Ex-
cuse me,” he said, ‘‘but do you
happen to be Mr. Smith of
Newcastle?”
"No, I'm not!” the man an-
swered impatiently.
“Oh—er—well,” stammer-
ed the first man, “you see, I
am, and that’s his overcoat
you’re putting on.” — Irish

• Your hat is too old to wear
when a feller refuses to take it
from a crowded rack.
• A financial statement of
the city of Timpson covering
the period from April loth, to
July 15th, 1951, is published in
today’s Times by Mayor Dan-

• Letter Perfect: Away from
home on a long visit, a woman
kept receiving from her hus-
band and daughters such
bright accounts of their do-
ings that she began to wonder
if she were missed at all. Then
a letter from her ten-year old
son removed all doubt "Dear
Horn,” he wrote, “this is the
biggest house I ever saw, since
you went away.”—Reader’s
Digest

• We notice fine cooperation
on the part of the public in ob-
serving the recently announc-
ed traffic regulations in the
business section of town.
You’U notice the “stop” signs
in the middle of the street in-
tersections. It only requires a
brief stop, but may be the
means of preventing a serious
accident, or. the smash-up of
your car—or the other fellow’s
car.
• Construction work on Pa-
nola county’s new courthouse

been in use since 1884. ,

To cause them to develop
sportmanship, the ability to
get along with other people,
character and personality.
The 4-H Club members are
carrying on projects in the
fields, pastures and poultry
houses of the county but this
