Iodine from Oil Wells
Iodine spouting from oil wells has
given America an independent sup-
ply of one of its most widely used
antiseptics while cutting the price
by more than half. The iodine is
obtained from a brine that comes
up with the oil. Recovering iodine
from oil wells, started, in 1926 at a
single Louisiana well, has expanded
into a West coast industry that to-
day supplies almost half the 1,500,-
000 pounds of iodine which Ameri-
ca uses each year. Utilization of
iodine-bearing oil brine also pre-
vents its contaminating West coast
water and killing fish. Iodine, chief-
ly used as a germicide, forms a
vital element in cattle feed and
photographic film as well as in
the making of dyes.

Harry Schneider Betty Blackerby
To be chosen state winner in
the National 4-H Leadership pro-
gram is indeed an honor for it
signifies that the boy and girl
have performed an outstanding
service in club and community
events. This distinction went to
Harry Schneider, 18, of Sequin,
and Betty Blackerby, 17, of White-
wright. Harry has served his club
Eor four years as president and
as junior leader of swine, beef,
dairy and crop projects. Members
exhibit at Houston and Dallas
fairs and he helps younger mem-
bers groom their animals. He also
trains them in judging. He has
given 99 talks on 4-H, 15 of them
on the radio. In 1948 Harry was
a national winner in the meat
animal contest, being awarded a
scholarship and trip to the Na-
tional 4-H Club Congress. Betty
as 1948 State canning champion,
attended the National 4-H Club
Congress, but she also won hon-
ors on her record hooks and has
served her club as junior leader
in clothing and food, and the
county 4-H council as president
for three years. She is an experi-
Gerolean Gisler and Grace Gisler
talks, five of them broadcast. She
is active in community affairs,
in high school athletics, and in
craft work at 4-H camp. In recog-
nition of these accomplishments,
Edward Foss Wilson, president of
Wilson and Co., presented Harry
and Betty each with a handsome
17-jewel wrist watch.
Tops in the 1949 National 4-H
Dairy Foods Demonstrations pro-
gram were individual — lAlice
Davis, 15, of Leming; team —
Grace Gisler, 15, and Geroleari
Gisler, 17, both of Victoria. Alice’s
prize-winning demonstration was
“Cheese for a Change”, while the
team demonstrated “Around the
Clock with Milk.” Chosen state
winners, each was presented with
a 17-jewel watch by the Carna-
tion Company. In carrying out
the objectives of the program,
these teen-agers learned the fine
points of public speaking and
teamwork. They also developed
poise and the ability to give a
persuasive demonstration on uses
of dairy food products. Alice was
selected to compete for National
honors by her state 4-H Club
office.
To economize, a young doctor
and a young dentist who had ad-
joining offices decided to hire one
nurse who would/ work for both of
them. Unfortunately both fell .in
love with her.
The dentist was called away sud-
denly and left a note for the nurse.
The note explained that he would
be gone for six days and with the
note were six apples.

Rendezvous
Judge—“Did you ever see this
prisoner before the bar in your
life?”
Witness—“Sure. That’s where we
always meet.”
JUST TWO WAYS
A much married man was try-
ing to chisel some free advice
from a lawyer friend. “Isn’t
there some way in which a man
can avoid paying alimony?” he
inquired.
“Yes,” replied the lawyer.
“Two. He can stay single or
stay married.”
Went Too Far
It was the purpose of the trial
to determine if the man at whom
the finger of suspicion pointed
really stole the plaintiff’s overcoat.
At last the judge got down to brass
tacks.
“Did you steal this man’s over-
coat?” he demanded.
“No sir,” declared the accused
with a, sickly grin, “I was just
playing a joke on him.”
“And where did you take this
coat, to?” demanded the judge.
“I took it off the coat rack in
the restaurant and carried it home
with me.”
“Well,” snapped the judge,
“that’s carrying the joke too far.”

/rMEANS A oetfol, LAMP
In looking for lamps which bear the all-impor*
tant “Certified” tag, you’ll be surprised at the
wide range in prices. You will find that this tag is
not granted only to the makers of expensive
lamps, but also to the makers of lamps which sell
at popular prices.
The Certified tag means that the manufacturer
of that lamp, regardless of its selling price, has
met 105 specifications in its construction.
See these modern lamps soon at your favorite
store. They’re built to exacting “Certified” stand-
ards in a wide selection of sizes, styles and colors.
They’re built, too, to bring more light into your
home, because the new type reflectors are con-
structed to give you direct and indirect light at
the same time!
When next you buy a lamp, make sure it is
“Certified.” Inquire at your favorite store for this
new lamp.
