INFORMATION leaks into this
office that an effort is afoot ty
streamline the "Star Spangled
Banner." This new version will be
streamlined in order to give every
singer a chance on even the high-
est notes, it is said. Ort April 1 the
nation's leading music authorities
looked it over. It is written in the
key of A-flat, and has been de-
scribed as "taking the anthem
away from the soprano and giving
it back to the people."
•
JUST THE other night at the
local theatre one of the "shorts
featured the singing of "The Star
Spangled Banner" and the only
ones who could sing it were the
professionals in the movie. It was
far too high pitched for the ordin-
ary voice. And that, dear readers,
is what has been the matter with
"The Star Spangled Banner."

Free Cotton Classing
For County Farmers
Application for the free cotton
claaaing service, of the Agricultur-
al Marketing Service, have been
submitted to the marketing office
in Austin.
Ten groups consisting of 479
farmers who are planting 24,766
acres of cotton have submitted
their applications for this free serv-
ice. In each group the ginner has
agreed to cooperate with the Agri-
cultural Marketing Service' by
submitting a sample of each bale
ginned to the Austin office where
a U. S. approved Grader will grade
and staple the sample and notify
the producer of the grade and sta
pie on each bale produced.
This type of service along with
the market price news, which will
be posted at the gin daily will en-
able the farmers to know exactly
what his cotton should have
brought on the date of sale, and
eliminates to a large extent the
old method of "Hog Round Buying
and Selling." Under present de-
mands and premiums for longer
stapled cotton the service rendered
by the Agricultural Marketing
Service will benefit Burleson Coun-
ty farmers to the amount of $1.00
to $2.50 per bale sold.
Ginners cooperating with the
Marketing Service anil submitting
samples for their customers are:

Although the current adverti s,,s i Marlowe, Oklahoma, one half liat-
campaign is designed to ati muíate
the immediate flow of scrap into
war production, conservation offici-
als emphasise that the over-all
«crap and salvage program is a
continuing campaign throughout
the war and it is essential that ev-
ery ounce of scrap should be gath-
ered for war production purposes.
A dated drive does not mean that
collection for that material will
end at the time the drive ends; the
scrap program and the war pro-
gram arc identical and inter-re-
lated, conservation officials said.

Traffic Deaths
Fewer In Texas
First Six Months Show
Lowest On Record
There were fewer traffic death#
in Texas in the first six months of
1942 than during any similar per-
iod since accurate records were
started in 1938, State Police Di-
i ector Homer Garrison announced
today.
F >r the half year, Texas record-
ed a flat 20 percent reduction in
traffic fatalities, from 863 in the
1941 period to fiK9 this year.
Nationally, the reduction was 11
per cent for the first five months
The six-month average has not yet
been announced.
As the Texas Highway Traffic
Advisory Committee's conservation
program began to make noteworthy
progress in June, deaths fell to
104 as compared to 151 for June
of 1941.
Leading the safety race were
eities and small towns, with re-
ductions of 30 and 29 per cent. re-
spectively. Highway deaths were
down 17 per cent; those on county
roads, 14 per cent.
Highway Patrol Chief Hill Fore-
man reported that arrests and
warnings by the Highway Patrol
increased 22.B per cent over last
June, from 18,327 to 22,460.
