CRYSTALS
I have used Crazy Crys-
tals only a short period, but
have-come to the conclusion
that the healthy as well as
the sick should use CRAZY
CRYSTALS. Not only the
sick and run down system
should have it, but also the
healthy ones who are inter-
ested in saving their health.
I noticed the first few days
that I started the treatment
that it refreshed my kidneys
Second, I noticed it took
effect on the bladder. Third
it works the bowels gently
and freely. I also find that
it clears a person’s complex-
ion.

Another rain came Saturday night
which farmers think was much need-
ed as the high winds had dried out
the top of the ground. and moisture
was needed to bring up the corn. A
stiff north wind followed and fire felt
good Sunday.
Prof. Homer Sledge was in a short
Lime ago- to see home folks. He
teaches out in the west and at the
same place for several consecutive
terms which speaks well for his
teaching qualities.
Prof. A1 Garner and wife were up
to see Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Thornton,
Saturday and Sunday, the parents of
Mrs. Garner.
The professor says keep on sending
The Bonham Herald. He read it the
past year and will continue to read it.
He makes teaching a specialty and
is rated high as a teacher and a good
judge of reading matter.
In these times of tight money the
proverbial sow’s ear is about as good
a pocketbook as any, but pocketbooks
are down in the market as two may
be had for five cents.
John C. Miller was mingling with
he voters hereabout, one day last
■veek. John seems like home folks
aut here and no doubt will make a
strong pull for district clerk.
Mrs. Young a long time resident of
Edhube, has been on the sick list for
some time, and is not reported much
improved.
The after effects of the flu is being
felt by many, one of which is me,
yes me. Stiff joints and aching
muscles.
Several teachers have been around
of late looking for positions for the
next school term.
A new trustee is to he elected soon.
Seems to be no scramble for the place.
It is my opinion the teachers who live
here will be retained, as they have
given good satisfaction as teachers,
and are in every way fitted for the
job.
Mrs. H. H. Dossey says send me
the Herald for twelve long months,
for which she planked down.v Mrs.
Dossey is teaching her second term
here and is a most excellent teacher.
Howard the husband works on public
works and is always on the job, when
one can be had and stays to the last.
We predict for this young couple a
successful and happy life. They have
a beautiful little girl, whom they call
Peggy Sue. She is their idol.
The 4-H club boys held a stock
judging contest but recently in the
barn lot of E. C. Parker with Floyd
Brothers as leader. Members present
were: Buck Jenkins, Aubrey Jenkins,
Rayburn Tarpiley, Denver Tarver and
E. C. Parker, Jr. E. C.’s herd had
special good points. Young Brothers
seems well up for one of his .age as
he explained parts with seeming ease j
and intelligence. He thinks some of
these hoys will be able to enter the
A. and M. soon. We are glad to see j
these hoys taking an interest in stock i
judging.
Mr. Bob Sikes who was a long
resident of Edhube, died at the family j
home early last Friday morning and j
was buried at the Hampton cemetery j
the following evening. He is sur-
vived by his wife and two married
daughters, and all were present at
the time of his death. Mrs. Sikes
was just a little past 62 years of age.
The Wise funeral directors, were in
charge of the obsequies. Rev. Ball
a primitive Baptist minister who lives
in Tioga, and the Rev. Sansom, a
missionary Baptist and pastor of the
church here held funeral services at
the church house and also at the
grave. Mir. Sikes had chronic afflic-
tions. These coupled with the flu and
an exemplary life, was a good neigh-
bor, was industrious and a neat and
successful farmer. Everything pos-
sible was done for him, competent
medical attention, a trained nurse,
loving relatives, to do anything in
their power, but his time had come as
it will come to all of us, as it is once
appointed to all men to die. We ex-
tend our sympathy to the bereaved
wife and relatives and hope they will
be prepared to meet this husband and
father in a better world.

OAKES IN THE NEWS: When
little I/indy helped himself to a
piece of cake on his first birthday
his famous parents—thoughts of
kidnapping far from their minds
—didn’t realize how widely the
above picture would be used. At
right, another cake in the news
recently. A Swans Down Sky-
scraper Special, 414 feet high, was
baked for the Oklahoma Memorial
Association’s banquet. Over 125
pounds of cake flour were used.

county has swung its 4000 acres of
cotton land to one standard variety
for 1932, with its centrally located
gin handling this one variety exclus-
ively. The standardization is in co-
operation with the county agent and
the U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry.
The oil industry, responsible for
more than 40 per cent of the total
manufacturing output of Texas, dir-
ectly supports 52S000 Texans citizens
Oil contributes more largely to the
State’s income than any other one
commodity excepting cotton alone.

REGISTER BIRTHS
\o>v,

GIFTS THAT LAST
We are in receipt of a communica-
tion from the State Department of
Health which states that births in
Fannin county are not always register
ed, and asking the cooperation of the ^
public in having all births registered.,
Part of the Letter is as follows:
“One or the other of two conditions j
exist in your county. There has either
been a decrease in the population or
the enforcement of the law was more
thorough in 1930 than in 1931, for
Fannin County filed 848 births in
1930 and only 836 in 1931—a de-
crease of 12 births. On the other
hand, there was an increase in deaths
fifed from 390 in 1930 to 425 in 1931—-
an increase of 35 deaths.
“Under normal conditions, there
are usually 2 births to 1 death. This
is necessary in order to maintain a
stable population. The 425 deaths
records in your county would indicate
850 births’, unless some unusual con-
dition exhists.”
The state department believes that
the registration of facts relative to
human beings is of more importance
than the registration of material
things—blooded stock, automobiles
and deeds.
