ROTAN — Following an an-
nual custom of honoring em-
ployes, the Rotan Cotton Oil
company, closing its crusher
last week, entertained the night
of March 10 with a banquet
and good fellowship program.
The mill is a branch of the
Sweetwater Cotton Oil comp-

the personnel looks forward to
these events.

Deputy Answers, No
Matter Where He Is
SAN ANTONIO — Deputy
Sheriff'Johnny Klevenhagen al-
ways answers when he hears his
name called.
This week a telephone call
came to the sheriff's office for
the deputy. A fellow deputjf
simply took the number and
asked the police radio announc-
er to broadcast a call for Kleven-
hagen to telephone his office.
In a few minutes Klevenhagen
called and was asked, "What is
your location?"
He replied, "Marshall, Texas.
What do you want?"
He was told to skip is as
Marshall is 330 miles by airline
from San Antonio.
Spectrograph Is
Loaned To Tech
LUBBOCK — The chemistry
department of Texas Technologi-
cal college has received a Hilger
Quartz spectrograph, sent by the

porary use in photographing for
ouantitative analysis of leaks in
oil wells.

Given Sweetwater

cial mention from the Dallas of-
fice of the Internal Revenue de-
photographs ' partment when H. C. Broaddus,

trict with offices in the Federal
building, got under the wire
with a sheaf of 617 returns
from this city. The Sweetwater
report stood out in the state re-
ports.
It Ls reported that the large
number of executives of whole-
sale concerns in Sweetwater, <
plus generally good business
conditions in the area, contrib-
uted to the 1937 record.
ROTAN CLUB HEARS
AUSTIN SPEAKER
ROTAN — Seventeen mem-
bers of the Rotan 1021 Study
club met March 15, with Mrs.
Johnnie Irvin to hear Mrs. Cal-
lahan of Austin, a guest, bring
a message.
Plans were discussed for a
spring program to which a
guest speaker, E. Fellows, of
Abilene, is to be invited. Each
member is to invite a guest to
the meeting.
Mrs. Howard Duff reviewed i
"If Memory Services", and
Mrs. D. L. Swint reviewed "Diag-

section. Much basic work will
be conducted at College Station.
Ultimately work must be done
in the majority of the other sec-
tions. The one problem that it
common to all of the regions is
to determine the most suitable
plants for pastures and ranges
in order to establish or reestab-
lish them. It has been found
that practically none of the
tame grasses such as timothy,
Kentucky blue grass, orchard
grass, brome grass, etc.. are
adapted to Texas conditions. At
the present time practically all
of the valuable grasses in the
eastern section are invaders—
Bermuda, carpet grass, and les-
pedeza. In the western portion

Seeds are produced in abundance
and show a germination per-
