SWEETWATER IN POLITICAL
SPOTLIGHT WITH SADLER
Sweetwater has been put in the political spotlight by
Jerry Sadler opening his West Texas campaign here
Tuesday night. Harley Sadler, our fellow townsman is
coming here to introduce his kinsman, Jerry, to the
West Texas audience. It is through the efforts of
Showman Harley that Sweetwater is privileged to be
host to this great political gathering which promises to
be of historic importance.
Jerry Sadler has a campaign slogan that ought
to appeal to all West Texas, "Put Sadler in the
saddle." He has promised to give the people the
right kind of ride; to return the important affairs
of the office of railroad commissioner to serving
ALL the people. He is a young man with plenty of
energy, who is acquainted with the oil business, liv-
ing in the heart of the East Texas field. His law
practice there has been largely in waging the fight
for the independent operator to whom must go
the credit for development of much of Texas' oil
resources. He knows the problems of the indepen-
dent and understands what the people should have
and on this basis is making his bid for election to
serve the people.
The compliment that has been paid Sweetwater in
opening his campaign for the second primary in our
midst should be answered by welcoming Jerry and
Harley with an attendance of thousands of Nolan coun-
ty citizens. Let's make this a great demonstration such
as our fellow-citizen, Harley is entitled. Harley has
made Sweetwater's name famous wherever he has
pitched his show tent or rented a theatre. This is an
opportunity to return just a little favor and let him
know that Nolan county folks are his friends and ap-
preciate his interest in the cause of better state gov-
ernment.
SALES CRUSADE
CONTEMPLATE BUYERS AID
Buyers prepare!
That is not a warning. Just a suggestion to get ready
for Sweetwater's part in the National Salesmen's Cru-
sade opening Friday night.
This sales drive contemplates that buyers will
be in a receptive mood, that they will appreciate
that concentrating effort on selling has nothing to
do with high pressure. It is part of a national pro-
gram to take goods off shelves so orders may go
back to jobbers and factories thereby creating em-
ployment. Every person put to work makes pos-
sible the addition of other persons. It is an end-
less chain for good and Sweetwater wants to do
its part.
You have to get into the spirit of this thing. A cru-
sade requires enthusiasm. If you can't help the pro-
gram directly, give it your moral support. Say some-
thing good about those who are taking a part in a
national plan to make better times.

British Island Named
After Fig Tree
CIXTEENTH century mnps ln-
beled Barbados, extreme east-
ern island of the Windward group
in the West Indies, variously St.
Bernardo, Barbuduso, Barnados
and Barnodo. The name had
been derived from the Spanish
words for the bearded fig tree
which abounds in the area. So
in time Barbados evolved as the
permanent name for this spot of
166 square miles in the Atlantic.
The Portuguese, first discovered
the island, apparently. The Brit-
ish ship Olive Blossom touched
there in 1605 and immediately
took possession in the name of
James I. The first settlement was
made in 1625. Three years later
the island had a governor; 64 set-
tlers, arriving at Carlisle Bay,
founded the present capital,
Bridgetown, now a town of 13,000.
War between the British and
the French during the 18th cen-
tury spilled much blood in the
West Indies, and Barbados suf-
fered in the exchange. It suffered
again during the American Revo-
lution when embargoes shut oft'
importation of provisions from
the colonies. In 1805 the French
almost regained the island in a
sudden military coup. But the
British won, and have held the
possession continuously since.
Sugar and cotton are the chief
products of modern Barbados.
The British ship, Olive Blossom,
i£ shown here on a stamp of Bar-
bados, marking the island's
founding.

BACKSTAGE IN WASHINGTON At TI„.
Theatres
15V RODNEY DITCHER
washington — The
White House has been taken
over by people you never
heard of before. They're the
ones who make the mach-
inery go around in the
large, handsome, vastly
important institution even
when the president and his
secretaries' are there in
command.
It's a skeleton crew. Any-
one entering the long lob-
by of the executive offices
and .suites adjoining it,
finds deep, comfortable lea-
ther chairs and divans
wastefully unoccupied in
benignly aircooled s u r -
roundings. .fust what would
happen to an ordinary citi-
zen who had no other busi-
ness than parking himself
in the lobby for a cool rest
is uncertain because no ordi-
nary citizen tries. Secret
Service men went off with
the president and those who
didn't follow him to sea are
vacationing. But uniformed
White House policemen still
guard gates and doors.
Now's the only time you can
see the president's office, as-
suming you won't be having
an appointment with him.
With congressional endorse-
ment, you can peer through
the door at the great desk
with its many gadgets,
while a cop watches lest you
vault the doorway's velvet
rope.
Jimmy's I'p North
Jimmy Roosevelt, health
restored, is at the family's
far-northern summer place
at Campo Bello. Fog there
is thick he writes.
James Rowe, Jimmy's as-
sistant and his wife Eliza-
beth, formerly of the United
Mine Workers' secretariat-
are enjoying sun, salt wat-
er and lobsters at Nantucket.
Secretary Marvin Mcln-
tyre returns from the west
as these notes are made and
in an hour or so has a room-
ful of visitors • who hope
he will tell the president
something they want him
to know. "Lobbyists and
hangers-on", comments a
White House attache.
Answering questions from
correspondents and world
at large is Bill (William
Dean) Hassett, Early's as-
sistant and old-time Wash-
ington correspondent, wise
and kindly. Scores of tele-
phone callers, local
distance, want to
about Roosevelt's
ments when he
Hassett radios news sum-
maries each day to Early
on the u. s. s. Houston.
Mail (iocs Through
At the center of White
House machinery, as al-
ways, is slender, bespectacl-
ed Rudolph Forster, a vet-
eran who dates back to Mc-
Kinley. He is the. clearing
house for everything that
goes to the president, super-
vises files, communications,
and messenger service.
Right now his big problem
is deciding what should go
to the president in the
pouch about to leave for the
u. s. s. Houston by plane
and what can wait . . .
White House mail has dwin-
dled below a thousand let-
ters a day. The average i."
between 2()()() and 3000, al-
i hough it once hit 80.000
in 1933. Ira Smith, 40 years
in the mail room, is in
charge, with a staff of 15 or
20.
The basement mail box
is the same type you see on
the streets. Recently a car-
penter built a wide board on
top of it, very useful for
piling packages and other
mail that wouldn't go in.
Hut a postal inspector came
around and said the White
House was violating regula-
tions, so the board was re-
moved.

"Cowboy from Brooklyn,"

ST.\K OF IHUMA
The most, dramatic situation
of the present day- the Spanish
civil war — farms the back-
ground of the tempestuous love
story which is told in "Block-
ades," Walter Wanger's thrilling
romantic drama which stars
Madeleine Carroll and Henry
Fonda at the Ritz Theatre to-
day.
THis is tho romance of a
man and a girl drawn into the
conflict almost against their
will—lovers who were at the
| same time bitter enemies,
j The story opens with the
j arrival of Norma Basil (Made-
i leine Carroll) in peaceful Spain,
where she has come to join
! her father. She meets Marco
i (Henry Fonda), a peaceful,
j home-loving young farmer, and
! the pair fall in love.
Norma discovers that her
; father and his life-long asso-
| ciate, Andre, have been engag-
i ed in fomenting war, hoping to
profit from future activities as
i spies, and that evening the
j sound of the first guns of the
i civil war rumbles over the coun-
tryside.
Marco joints the army and,
having killed a spy, learns that
the man was Noma's father.
He is obliged to arrest her as
an accomplice.
•COWBOY I HO.M BROOKLYN'

Although it starts in a west-

lyn," the musical farce which
shows today at the Texas The-
atre with Pat o'Brien, Dick
Powell and Priscilla Lane in the
featured roles, is definitely not
a wegtern picture, for it takes
nothing in the western scene se-
riously.
if Is a hilarious tale of the
complications which ensue when
a New York theatrical producer,
played by o'Brien, comes to a
