was damaged considerably.
Along the highways in some
sections there are signs warning
against such danger. However,
even if there is no such sign, the
danger exists in this section any-
where and a deer may take a no-
tion to cross the highway at any
time of the day. At night the dan-
ger is greated, the animals are
blinded and their natural instinct
to get out of the way does not
function.
Defense Bond Quiz
Q. Has the Government set a
quota to be raised through the
sales of Defense Savings Bonds ?
A. No; there is no quota and no
time limit. The Defense Savings
Program is to be a continuing ef-
fort, and both Defense Bonds and
Stamps should be purchased stead-
ily and regularly.
Q. Why were the Nation’s retail
stores asked to sell Defense Sav-
ings Stamps?
A. American retailers were not
asked—they volunteered through
their national organizations to un-
dertake the sale of Defense Sav-
ings Stamps on a vast scale.

Fire Prevention Week, October 5 to 11, is
of greater significance this year than at any
time in the past. In any period, fire preven-
tion marks a definite contribution to the se-
curity and prosperity of the nation. Today,
fire prevention is essential to the nation's de-
fense.
Such organizations as the National Board
of Fire Underwriters are carrying on a great
work—without charge to the government—
In defending our army camps, naval bases,
munitions depots, air fields and other military
establshments against fire. They are also re- Sen. Conally Would Double
doubling their efforts to prevent fire and federal Old Age Pension
build better and more efficient fire defense
organizations in our great industrial centers.
Hut, vital as this is, it is not enough. The or-
ganized groups cannot do it all. For success-
ful fire prevention must be a national endea-
vor. It must be carried on in every town,
every place of business, and every home.
That is how Fire Prevention Week offers us
all an opportunity. It gives us a chance to
learn those simple rules which, put into effect,
will prevent the bulk of fires. It gives us a
chance, therefore, to save life and property.
And, finally, it gives us a chance to preserve
materials and resources which are needed for
the defense of this country.
Give fire an inch, and it takes a mile. It is
the ever-present enemy of our safety and our
security. It must be licked.

WATCH FOR DEER
ON HIGHWAYS
Traveling in this section of the
State it is essential that motorists
,are ever on the outlook for deer.
Not that they want to start their
own hunting season at this time of
the year, but to avoid accidents
which might be dangerous and cost-
ly. Even in daytime such precau-
tion is recommended, but especial-
ly so at night.
Tuesday evening when F. J.
and Henry C. Maier were returning
from Kerrville an accident like the
above happened about six miles out
from Kerrville. It was about 5:30
in the evening.
Rev. and Mrs. King of Brown-
wood were driving towards Kerr-
ville. A doe deer jumped the run-
ning car landing on top and on

the car, landing it in the ditch. The

Washington, D. C., Oct. 6—Sen-
ator Tom Connally today introduc-
ed in the Senate a bill which would
double the federal contribution to-
ward Texas old age pension pay-
ments. This bill is in line with
President Roosevelt’s recent pro-
posal to vary federal pension
grants according to the per capita
income of the States rather than
on a fifty-fifty basis. This will en-
able the poorer states to receive
proportionately a larger share of
federal funds than that received
by the richer states.
Under the present act the Fed-
eral government matches the Texas
contribution dollar for dollar, but
under the proposed Connally bill
the Federal government would
contribute a little more than two
dollars for every dollar contributed
by the Texas Legislature. In other
words, a $45 Texas pension pay-
ment would be possible by the
State Contributing about $15 and
the Federal government contribut-
ing the remainder. Heretofore the
combined contributions of the Fed-
eral and Texas governments have
totaled a little less than $14, but
with the same State contribution
the total would be $22.50 under the
Connally bill. Under recent enact-
ments of the Texas Legislature, if
funds are available, the monthly

A traffic policeman at a busy
corner saw an old lady beckon to
him one afternoon. He held up a
dozen motors cars, a truck, and. two
cabs to get to her side.
“What is it ma’am?” he said
rather impatiently.
The old lady smiled and put her
hand on his arm.
“Officer,” she said, in a soft
voice, “I want to tell you that the
number you have is the number of
my favorite hymn.”

A new smooth awn barley named
Texan, which is superior to other
varieties hitherto tested or grown
in the central Texas blackland area,
is being made available to farmers
this year. Texan barley was devel-
oped at the Denton Substation in
the cooperation small grain breed-
ing experiments conducted cooper-
atively by the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Station and the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The selection was made in 1933 by
I. M. Atkins from a bulk cross of
winter barley varieties made by Dr.
H. V. Harlan, Senior Agronomist
in charge of barley investigations,
U. S. D. A., Washington, D. C.
Texan barley has been the high-
est yielding variety at the Temple
Substation, but Wintex has made
higher yields at other points In the
state. Since Texan has been the
best variety at Temple, it is being
increased for distribution to grow-
ers in the central part of the Black-
land region.

■ he chemical laboratories of the petroleum industry are now
laying the foundation for industries of the future.
jOut of their research are being created new products and
more efficient ways of making old ones. Synthetic rubber,
plastics, explosives, basic chemicals and scores of other
essentials developed in petroleum laboratories are already
being made on a commercial scale.
These scientific discoveries of materials vital to peace-time

tween September 10 and 30, were
in Austin, Waco, Brenham, Brady,
Kerrville, San Antonio, Browns-
ville, Laredo, Edinburg, and Del
Rio.
Previously, in May, four con-
ferences had been held in San An-
tonio, Austin, Del Eio and Waco at
which 212 law enforcement officers
were present from 102 agencies.
Purposes of the meetings is to
acquaint the officers with the lat-
est information received by the
FBI, explain methods of combating
un-American activities and methods
of dealing with saboteurs. During
the meetings, sample cases of ‘tips’
on un-American activities are given
the officers. They are divided into
teams and decide how they would
go about investigating the case.
Afterwards, a captain from each
team reports on how his team de-
cided the case should be handled.
A round-table discussion on the
various aspects of each type of
handling is then held.
“The aid and assistance of the
local officers in this district has
always been of invaluable use,”
said Acers. “If this emergency
gets more critical, their aid, assis-
tance and cooperation will become
even more valuable. Every FBI
agent realizes that without the on-
the-spot information of the local
officers, federal law enforcement
would be greatly crippled”. He paid
high tribute to the industry, en-
thusiasm and intelligence of the
local officers participating in the
meets.
Refreshments were served at all
the conferences except afternoon
sessions at Del Eio and Edinburg.
Of the remainder, all were dutch

barley previously available in this

mouths of livestock. Although Tex-
an is bearded, the beards do not
have these barbs but are smooth

Automobile and truck owners are
again being reminded by Tax I
Assr.-Coll. Wm. M. Petmecky of
the Certificate of Title law under j
which each owner of any motor j
vehicle must secure a title to his j
machine by January 1, 1942.
These titles are issued by the j
Texas Highway Department at 1
Austin upon an application filed |
with the county tax collectors, j
These titles show a full description
of the vehicle, show if any lien is
due or whether the vehicle is clear
of encumbrances.
All- vehicles bought or traded
since October 1, 1939, have been
furnished with such a title as no
sales could be made without the
owner first securing a title for the
machine he wanted to trade or
sell. Many other titles were issued
during the annual auto registra-
tion period last spring and many
others since then.
It is very important to get these
titles, the highway department de-
clares, as it will be unlawful to
operate a car of truck on the high-
ways after January 1, on which
such a title has not been secured.
To apply for the title, the owner
should present some definite proof
of ownership prior to October 1,
1939. Best proof is the Bill of Sale
received when the vehicle was
bought. If this is not available, a
license receipt for any year before
1939 may be used.
These certificates of title are sent
directly from Austin to the owner.
They must be presented when the
1942 license plates are bought as
the serial number of this title
must be written on the license re-
ceipt and the license number must
be written on the title.
It is recommended that the title
be secured as early as possible as
it takes a month or longer for one

smooth awn also makes the crop
less disagreeable to handle in har-
vesting and threshing.
In plant characters, Texan is of
the intermediate winter type which
will head from either fall or spring
seeding. It is recommended for fall
seeding but if the fall-sown crop is
lost by winterkilling, it may be re-
planted In winter or very early
spring. It is less hardy than Ten-
nessee Winter types but about as
hardy as Wintex. Texan has a
weaker straw than Wintex, hence
is more subject to lodging on rich
land.
Diseases are more serious on
small grains in central than in
north Texas. Rust seriously dam-
ages the barley some years and no
variety now available is resistant
to the disease. Texan is resistant
to powdery mildew, which may at-
tack the crop. It is also moderately
resistant to net blotch, a leaf dis-
ease somewhat similar to barley
stripe and which is sometimes
serious in the Temple area. Barley
smut and barley stripe may be con-
trolled by seed treatment.
Barley is nearly equal to corn in
feeding value. In addition, it sup-
plies abundant pasture during the
winter months and aids in prevent-
ing soil erosion during the period
greatly inconvenienced if they did
not have one by January 1st.
