mero furnish plenty, also. The sto-
ry is about band members and band

appea’ing plot, carries plenty of
appeal in the way of music and
songs. It comes to the Cactus Wed-
nesday and Thursday.

In The Rockies”, with Bonita Gran-
ville and John Payne; "Star Span-
gled Rhythm", starring Bing Cros-

not kicking though, we took it on
the chin”. And. "Tell Nellie to
thank the Red Cross for me for
their wonderful work they did for
us here and for the Christmas
packages we got from them.........”
j "Plnedg and Jaime are O. K.. It

NO MAGIC
ABOUT IT!
IT’S A QUESTION OF
BREEDING and FEEDING
BACK OF THE FEEDER CALVES AND STEERS— that satisfy
the demands of the buyer, you will find a breeder who fully ap-
preciates that geed blcod lines produce calves uniform In size,
body conformation and color . . . This producer also knows that
proper feeding and care of the breedirg hero will insure bigger
calf crops and more vigorous calves . . The proper use of COT-
TONSEED feed products for the breeding hprd will mean MORE
DOLLARS for the c-lf crop. When these calves go into the feed
lot, the successful feeder knows the value of a lia’ar.ced ration
containing ccttcr.eerd meal or cake to furnish the protein so
essential for ouick a airs and the finish that will top the market.

TREASURY TAX NOTES, Series A, provide a
practical way to handle income tax payments.
These notes come in denominations of $25,
$50, $100, $500, $1,000 and $5,000. They
pay interest of almost 2%. You can buy them
at any time and use them to pay your
Federal taxes. (They are also redeemable
for cash on demand.) As a suggestion, buy
them on a regular monthly plan, say a $25
note each month, or whatever denomination
is necessary to meet your quarterly tax pay-
ments. They can be obtained from the Fed-
eral Reserve Bank, or we shall be glad to
handle your order, without charge.
