“There is increasing evidence,”
declares Dr. J. R. Mohler, Chief
of the Bureau of Animal Industry,
"that raising scrub live stock is
an unnecessary waste of time and
feed. Any live stock owner can
improve the quality of his herds
and flocks by the better-sires
route. Purebred sires permit the
raising of grades, cross-breds—
whichever is preferred—depend-
ing on the kind of females used.”
According to reports from more
than 500 live stock owners who
have used purebred sires for sev-
eral years, the greater returns de-
rived greatly exceed the initial
outlay and the benefits accumu-
late with each generation of ani-
! mals raised.
Mrs. B. F. Shown of Hamilton

ThereisOneBestWay
For doing anything, there may be many ways, but
only one way that is best.
There is but .one best way of handling all money mat-
a. Why should a man hesitate an instant in determin-
ing tb use the bank for transacting every financial mat-
ter? If using the bank was not the best form of money
handling, more than TWENTY MILLION PEOPLE in
the United States would not be bank depositors.
This bank is here to render service to patrons, to
protect their money and to make true the statement that
there is but one best way of handling money.
The non-interest bearing and unsecured deposits of this
bank are protected by the Depositors’ Guaranty Fund of
the State of Texas
--The Farmers
Program at High School
_ Thursday wj*s. Senior Recognit-
ion Day at the Stephenville High
School and the twenty-nine seniors
held full sway during the chapel
hour. This is the largest graduat-
ing class the high school has ever
sent out and they are a bright
bunch of boys and girls—and a
“peppy” bunch, too, from the pro-
gram they got up for Thursday
morning’s exercises.
The impersonations of the fac-
ulty were strikingly true and
snappy. One could easily “see
themselves as others saw them.”
Mr. Bramlette, Miss Ruth John-
son, Ivy Straw, Lucile Couch,
Mary Culbertson, Virginia Lowe,
Maye Jones, Mrs. V. H. Wallace
and Mr. J. C. Dykes were repre-
sented by Alton Stephens, super-
intendent, Virtie Allard, Doris
Couey, Lucille Fray, Maurine Ful-
kerson, Lucile Neblett, Lois Bal-
low, Mary Neblett, and Clarence
Kay.
Several class songs were given.
Other classes in high school were
ably represented by members of
each class—the Juniors by Miss
Sarah Winters, Sophomores by
Lambuth Sellers, Freshmen by
Wayne Kay and Sub-Freshmen by
Miss Beth Slaughter.
Miss Sue Pressler presided at
the piano.
After the program, which was
enthusiast icily applauded by pu-
pils and faculty alike, Mr. Dykes
called John L. Edwards and
Brady Nix to the front and pre-
sented them with pennants wott
during the county and district
track meets. John L. Edwards
was winner in Class A, division
track team, Erath county meet,
and Brady Nix was captain of the
champion basketball team for
Erath county. These young men
then graciously presented the
pennants to the High School.
Dr. Tucker, who is working in
the interest of the Near East Re-
lief fund, made a very forceful
talk to the student body and never
was the cause more ably present-
ed. Dr. Tucket in her most charm-
ing and whole hearted way made
every one see and feel the crying
needs of that horror-filled land
across the seas. At the close of
her talk, class work was resumed
until the noon hour when the
Seniors gave their annual lunch-
eon to the class and faculty.
Decorations for the tables were
dolls dressed as Seniors; the placei
cards were clever sketches of a
boy and girl dressed in the custo-
mary cap and gown. Although it
was a great day for the fifteen;
boys and fourteen girls of the
Senior class of High School.
The seniors challenged the juni-
ors to play baseball Thursday af-
ternoon on the High School’ dia-
mond. As yet, we do not know
the outcome of the game, but
from the heated arguments and
th^ bold wagers being given we
would be safe in saying that we
may expect some exciting results
from that game and next week
we will have a “report to turn in
that will startle the natives—or
one or the other of the two
classes.
W. F. McCluskey and son Dean,
have become associated as part-
ners with the Harris-Clay Lurti-
ber Co. in their Stephenville lum-
ber business, and on May 1 Dean
will become the bookkeeper of the
firm, while W. F. will attend to
the selling department. As the
McCluskeys are popular men, and
well known throughout Ihp emin.
ty, they add strength to this pro-
gressive firm of lumber merch-
ants. The new men have no con-
: nection with other yards owned
by the above named firm.
B. F. Allen, who lives on the
highway east of Stephenville is
now 76 years old, and has made
44 crops in Erath county. He has
been a hard worker all his life,
and even now works enough to
keep in good health. He and his
wife have 10 living children, 52
grand children and 35 great grand
children. Mr. Allen served in the
civil war, enlisting in Alabama.
We must make country dirt pay,
! if we hope to keep our city
streets paved.

Judging from records of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture, which conducts the
“Better Sires — Better Stock”
campaign, interest in purebred
sires is more than double that of
a year ago. During January and
February the Bureau of Animal
Industry issued 512 emblems of
recognition to persons who sign-
ed declarations stating that they
would use purebred sires exclus-
ively in all classes of live stock
kept. The number of persons
granted emblems during the same
time last year was 239.
Continuation of interest is
shown by the unusually large
number of enrollments early in
March, more than 160 having oc-
curred the first week. Henceforth
all these owners -will breed their
cows, mares, sows, ewes, and
hens to purebred sires only and
will use breeding methods lead-
ing to further live stock improve-
