PAGE EIGHT THE PARIS NEWS, PARIS, TEXAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 11, 1940 RAMBLJN' AROUND WITH DANBILLS Lamar County farmers got a full week of sunshine last week anjd believe me, they really took advantage of It They got rid of lots of weads and grass. On every I visited I found the farmers busy and they were not losing a minute of time. Some told me they had put in as many as 18 hours a iday in their fields. A good many farmers got their crops worked up in good shsp-3, but quite a few told me it would take several days of sunshine this week for them to complete cleaning up their fields. Re-Plant Cotton In the sections where the hail struck and destroyed crops the farmers were just planting over.

They say it is late for planting cotton, but feel if they can get the right kinjd-of a s-sason they can still make a crop. Plow Up Corn Corn in many fields has turned red and yellow and is not making any headway in growing. In most such cases the farmers are taking no chances, but are plowing up this corn and planting ov-sr. I Humorous Sign "Weeds and grass completely cover many fields. It looks mighty bad' but our farmers have a good sense of humor and try to make the best of every situation.

On one farm south of Roxton, in Sulphur bottom a farmer told ma he had erected a sign in his field that read and beasts of all kinds in this wilderness. Be prepared' when you pass this way." 'Hoppers Hatching Grasshoppers have started hatching out over the county, mainly in meadows and on weed rows. The farmers are making war on them by putting out poison. The government is furnishing the poison free of charga and ail the farmers have to do is to pay for having it mixed. The poison is scattered along the weed rows and edges of the meadows so that th-e 'hoppers will be stopped when" they first hit the field.

Once they get a bite of this poison it stops them dead Selling Cucumbers Out in the cucumber region the farmers have start-ad harvesting cucumbers. Several loads were brought to the Brice shed at Powderly Saturday. Most of the farmers I've talked with say their cucumber crops ara fine. Harvesting is expected to get going in a big way by the last of this week or the first of next week. 14 SOOTHES CHAFED SKiN MOROLINE WHITE PETROLEUM JELLY Tomatoes will also soon be ready for harvest.

In th-a sections where hail did not damage the plants the crops look good. I visited one field the other day where the hail struck and the first clusters on the vines wera all in bad shape. Each tomato was badly bruised and the growers tell me these tomatoes will be good only for the hogs. Freak Growth Well, I've heard of apples and p-aaches growing on the same tree, but it is something new to hear of tomatoes growing on Irish potato vines. That very thing is happening in Lamar County.

Some say it is not tomatoes, but the men who find them in the fields reply "W-all, if you are so smart, if they are not tomatoes, tell me what they are." Folks In England The war worries most of us, but not as much as it worries Mrs. A. R. Ladymon of the Post Oak community. All her folks live in England and she has not heard from any of them in two months.

Ona of her brothers not long ago bought a place and built a home in a section that is now the scene of heavy battles. Mrs. Ladymon came to the United States in 1903 and says she is thankful she lives in a land of peace and' hopes this country will not get into a war. I was glad to start The Paris News to her home. Balanced Farming Mr.

and Mrs. Theo Slusher of the Linden community own a nice home on 80 acros of good land. You do not have to guess if they are making a living at home. Several years ago they quit raising cotton and now their principal crops are corn, peas, Irish potatoes, watermelons and' paanuts. Mrs.

Slush er has one of the prettiest gardens I have seen in Lamar county. Her cabbage was especially fine. She gave me a couple of heads of bar best cabbage and a mess of Irish potatoes, which I appreciated very much- She also believes in raising good chickens and her choice is the Barred Rocks. Sha has 50 fryers and recently sold a large number for which she received 50 cents each. She sells eggs at the straight price of 25 cents par dozen the year 'round.

Another source ol cash income is from the sale of cream from their three good milk cows. Mrs. Slusher keeps a very completa diary and bookkeeping records, giving accurate account of all money received and paid out and' a record of the weather each With all her other work she still finds time to ke-ap her THROUGH Ufa CHAIR CAR i Gsn Dallas Los Angeles Ladies' Lounge, Free Pillows, Drinking Cups Dimmed Lights and no Noise at Night TRAVEL IN COMFORT WITH LOW ECONOMICAL FARES Only $2929 ONE WAY Lv.

Mr. Slusher showed hie his good brood mare and a couple of fine colts. He said they had" named one colt Amelia Earhart and the oth-er is named Don Ameche. Mrs. Slusher has for many years been the Paris News correspondent for the Linden, community.

Raises No Cotton Joe Harden of the Lindan community bought 100 acre farm in 1929. Since that time he has made extensive improvements on the place. He clearacT the brush from the place with goats. He started out by buying 15 head of goats but the herd has increased to 55 head. He says the goats kesp the sprouts killed out' and that they are well worth the money.

Incidentally he said barbecued' goat was mighty gooA meat. Mr. Harden also has 15 h-aad of cattle, mostly whitefaces. He does not try to raise cotton, preferring for his principal crops tomatoes, cucumbers, peanuts, soybeans and corn. In the spring he bought 100 Barred Rock baby chicks and had' the good luck to raise 95 of th-am.

He paid 8 cents each for them and he says his records show they have cost him 26 cents each up to the present times and he is selling them at 50 cants each, making a profit of 24 cents on each chicken sold. He tore down the old home on his place and built a new one, leaving it so he could add to it. He plans to make an addition to his home in the n-aar future. In three more years he thinks he have his place paid for and says he will then be sitting on top of the world. The Paris News will be a daily visitor to th-air home in the future.

Working Hard When I rambled up to the home of Ed Palmer in the Cottonwood community he had just returned from the field and' I could tell from his looks that he had been fighting the grass and weeds plenty hard- He says if he could get about thre more days of sunshine he would get his crop in first-class shape. The 40-acre farm, he is working is owned by Joe Hogan of Paris. He has worked this place for thrae years, but has lived' in Lamar county 22 'years, coming here from Fannin county where he was born and raised. He was anxious to keep up with the news of the world "so it was not hard to persuade him to take the Paris News Sunshine Needed J. F.

Patty of the Pleasant Hill community is working a 50-acre farm that is owned by Mrs. O. McBath of Paris. He has 20 acres in corn, the balance in cotton. He said he was n-aed'ing only abou three days more of sunshine to get his crop in good shape.

Mr. Palmer has three hogs in his pen plenty of chickens, a nice milk cow and a good garden to hel make a living at home. In th-a future he will have the Paris News as a daily visitor to his home. FSA Farmer H. T.

Canida lives on a place north of Petty and farms the FSA system. Mrs. Canid'a is expecting a good income from her 54 turkeys and 150 chickens and she has two milk cows that produce nine gallons of milk from which she sells cream- They have three nice heifers they think will develop into good milk cows. Mrs. Canida has already put up some vegetables and is fattening a calf which she will can with her pressure cooker.

She seemed glad to see me for she had been wanting for some time to subscribe for the Paris TS ews. Corn Head High Floyd White of Sumner has some of the prettiest corn I have seen this year. All of his corn is about head-high and it was laid b5 last week. Floyd is a hard worker as may be seen from the fact he also has his cotton chopped out and dirted up behind the hoe. This week he will plant 16 acres in double Darso Maize.

He handed me his renewal to keep the Paris News going to his home. Stopping 'Hoppers B. K. Bryant of the Paradise community says the grasshoppers are hatching out and are thick on the weed rows and meadows on his farm. He finished putting out poison last Saturday morning in order to get rid of them.

He said the 'hoppers looked to be Tuning Around With 1500 8.00 5:25 6:00 6:30 6:45 7:00 7:15 7:30 S.OO 9:00 9:30 10:00 10:30 11:00 6:45 .7:00 7:15 7:30 7:45 9:00 9:00 9:30 9:45 10:00 10:15 10:30 10:45 11:00 11:05 11:15 11:30 TUESDAY, JUKE 11 Fulton Lewis.

Proud Grandfather Ray Echols of Marvin was all smilas while, in Paris Saturday as he was a proud grandfather. A fine 8-pound baby girl arrived Saturday morning to bless the home of his son, Leslie Echols.

The mother is a daughter of B. K. Bryant of Paradise. Wild Steer Hitler got away at the abattoir in Paris tba other day. Henry Rheudasil of Sylvan brought a truck load of steers to Paris.

He sold them, to a Paris butcher and took them to the abattoir. The cattle were plenty wild and one steer named Hitl-ar jumped' through a window at the abattoir and ran ihree miles before they could catch up with him and then they had to shoot him to stop him- They were said to be the wild-ast steers ever brought to the abattoir in Paris. Parched Peanuts L. N. Thomas was in Paris the other day when I ran across him and asked him how things were out his way.

He looked up with a grin and remarked: "Well, Dan, I planted my peanuts on rocky land and the other day the rocks ot so hot my peanuts were parched, ready to eat." There are so many bad things to talk about and about, it always does a fel- Low good to meat up with people who can still smile and tell a funny story.

Nation Getting Spiritual Rebirth, Thompson Says By DOROTHY THOMPSON It is not what prime ministers an-d foreign ministers said that I remembar from these never-to- be-forgotten weeks in Europe.

I wrote down what they said in a diary afterward, at night The viewpoint and information were interesting, even important. But other things that people said I did not need to write down- They were words that could' not be forgotten. It is perhaps a year since I read that beautiful book, "Wind, Sand and Stgrs," by Antoine de Saint- Exupery. It seemed to me to express the knightly spirit of an epoch not yet born. It was hard, In it I caught society that Whitman society based upon "the dear love of comrades," where differences of birth and social rank and inequality of gifts were harmonized, in no regimented or mechanical order but in a symphonic music of life; the arftniration of the poet for the mechanic and the mechanic for the poet; the attraction between the gentle and the rough, each strengthening or polishing the other; a natural order of society, based upon devotion to a common air.

A brotherhood. These airmen. I thught, know nationality no longer, in terms of geography. Th-ay fly so high, so swiftly and so far. Borders between nations are invisible and' senseless in that transscendental sphere.

When they asked me in Paris whom I wished to see, I said, "An- toine de Saint-Exupery," thinking "A man at home on earth and in the sky." But he was at the front, flying a reconnaissance plane. Home On Leave Still he had two days' leave, and' so we met, in Paris. It seemed to me outrageous that he should be risking his life daily in the most dangerous of the s-arv- ices. Reconnaissance planes are slow. They fly deep into the heart of enemy country, and fly alone, photographing fortifications and factories and troop- movements.

They are insouciant spies open" espionage dangerously arrived at They cannot insinuate themselves into information, posing as friends and allies. They are easily detected' by the airplane finders. Casualties in their squadrons are very high. A man hardly has a fifty-fifty chance over a course of weeks or months. I told him so.

After all, other men can fly planes, I said. But you can write you see things, things will need you. Europe will need you. No Rifht to Write "You are absolutely wrong," he answered. "Nobody has the right to write a word today who does not participate to the fullest in the agony of his fellow human beings.

"If I did not resist with my life, I should be unable to write. And what holds true for this war has got to hold true, for everything. The Christian idea has got to be served'; that the Word is made Flesh. One must write with one's body." He tried to elaborate this, rather hesitantly. "The reason why we are in this' war, why there is a Hitler, why our whole civilization is crumbling up is because this has not been so.

Our words and our actions are not one. We say things and pretend to believe things, but what we say is not translated into the And th-e deed is divorced from Faith, from the Word. And so, since we have not been all of a piece ourselves, personally, and in all our institutions, we have been divided souls and a divided society therefore we have been an impotent society. To be free means to be trustworthy. Otherwise no one is safe in freedom.

A democracy must'be a brotherhood'. Otherwise it is a lie." I do not say that Antoine de Saint Exupery "represents" French "opinion." But he is representative of something growing in France and, in another way, in England. There is a mysticism of this war. Among the intelligent youth one hears fewer attacks on the Germans than, one hears against themselves. They speak of Hitler as the Antichrist, but they say that this scourge and destruction have come because of their own faults.

When Paul Reynaud said, in one of his last speeches, "If you say that only a miracle can save France, then I answer that I believe in miracles, for I believe in France," there was more than pathos behind' his words. The belief in France has nothing to do with the old association of It is marked by a profound humility. We'll Win In End I doubt whether in generations, the legend of St. Joan, of the Maid who saved France, by a miracle, because she fought with God, has been so vivid as it is now. People say quite simply, "We will win in the end, one way or another, if we are good enough." They know now, in France, that frivolous waste of time, inconsequential playing of politics, weighing of personal interests and downright corruption have contributed to the French military weakness and' lack of co-ordina- tion.

They do not talk much about the p-ersonalities responsible there is too much to do they will certainly remember them, once this war is over, and however it concludes. Whatever happens, th-e existing political and economic system will be altered in a revolutionary way. One hears words of praise for aspects of the German organization. One heai-s expressions of scorn, contempt and disgust rather than hatred for the Nazi values, philosophy, spirit and aim. It is a curious experience to see France in the greatest and most tragic crisis of her history and to feel nevertheless that out of that crisis out of agony and hu- militation will come something wonderful.

At any rate, whatever rebirth France may have will be in the opposite spirit of the Nazis. It begins with humility and with a will to virtue.
