FARMING AND RANCHING
CONDITIONS ARE PRIME
As the season progresses West Texas farming and
ranching conditions continue to improve. In the Sweet-
water area the moisture received so far this month
should prove sufficient to mature the wheat and other
grain crops. At the same time the soil has been put
into prime condition for planting. What it has done
to ranges is evident on every hand with the sweeping
miles Of bright green grass and other foliage. There is
an abundance of feed which means much to the live-
stock industry
The rainfall trend for the year is right along
with that'of 1931 when the total was 27.13 inch-
es. By comparison with last year, we have already
been given two-thirds the total amount which
fell in 1937. In addition the last three months of
1937 put a falJ^nd winter seasoning in the ground.
All of which is assurance that moisture conditions
hereabouts should inspire optimism.

CANDIDATES PAV TRIBUTE
^TO NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
The newspaper is known as the most direct and ac-
curate advertising medium, standing in the forefront
in its power to sell goods in season and out. None ap-
preciate this more than do the candidates running for
state office. Many of them are spending considerable
money in the preparation and mailing of publicity to
further their candidacies. In fact most any newspaper
could go to press these days with nothing else in its
columns but candidate publicity as far as the source
of supply is concerned.
We take this as a compliment from the candi-
dates even though we cannot succumb to the wiles
of their publicity- With the cost of producing
newspapers today the highest in the history of the
business, it takes pay dirt in the form of advertis-
ing to keep the wheels of progress .moving.
SPAIN WANTS TOURISTS.
; AT LEAST MAKES BID
Whether Spain's bid for tourist business is for the
, purpose of minimizing its civil war or just a job of
promotion for the future, we do not know. At any rate
it is reporter! General Franco is going to advertise the
sight-seeing possibilities of his country during the
summer season.
One benefit that may accrue from such a pro-
cedure is a factual showing of what a little war
can do to a country. However, news reports from
Spain still show the presence of armed conflict
and it is to be noted that internationalist members
of the Loyalist army are making a speedy exit from
the country. Spain's present scenery seems to
have palled on them, or perhaps they have run out
of zeal for dodging bullets and eating slim rations.

Chairman Relates
Ford Conversation
WASHINGTON — (UP) —
Chairman Marriner Eccles of
the federal reserve board re-
vealed that he told Henry Ford
indirectly last week that the
new deal spending policy is
based on the theory that the
distribution of national income
is out of balance.

BACKSTAGE IN WASHINGTON
His long and varied
experience in political war-
fare might well have taught
Mr. Roosevelt never to lead
with his chin. If so, he for-
got the lesson when he in-
vited Mr. Henry Ford to the
White House.
As a political boner, that
one ranks only with the en-
ticement of the "little busi-
ness men" to Washington in
the hope that they would
give, the President and his
policies a pat on the back.
Mr. Ford is an American
tradition and his support at
this time would have been
a great boon.
But almost anyone who
knew the automobile man
could have told President
Ford could be counted on
to cast more raspberries
than posies. What the Pre-
sident did was to hand Ford
the White House as a sound-
ing board for some criti-
cisms of the New Deal.
The invitation was based
on a supposition that Ford
would feel inspired to de-
liver a public message full
of co-operation, confidence
and good cheer. Mr. G. Hall
Roosevelt, brother of Mrs.
Roosevelt, had convinced
F.D.R. that Ford would be
so impressed with the show
that he would publicly sup-
port the current adminis-
tration recovery effort. But
G. Hall Roosevelt is in the
dog-house now.
Ford Remained Unsold
Versions as to what was
said at the White House
conference differ. One story
is that Ford commented
snappily on various New
Deal theories, especially
those of Chairman Marriner
Eccles of the Federal Re-
serve Board, firm believer
in the necessity of spending
for recovery.
According to most sources,
however, all was amiable
and the conversation rather
general except for some ex-
planation by Roosevelt and
Eccles of what the govern-
ment was trying to do. The
one sure thing is that no one
sold Henry on anything.
After the luncheon and
conference Ford "seemed in
some doubt as to just how
Eccles really was.
Ford has his peculiarities.
The last memorable occa-
sion on which he visited the
White House was in the
early weeks of the 1929-33
depression when President
Hoover summoned an ar-
ray of the big men of indus-
try and finance.
Canny Henry
Ford sat through the con-
ference and neve.- said a
word. After it was all over he
slipped a piece of paper to
a friend among the horde of
correspondents outside. All
the message on this paper—
obviously prepared in ad
vanee—said, was that Ford
would raise wages •and re-
duce the price of automo-
biles.
Ford copped all the head-
lines and made Mr. Hoover
very sour.
Less than five years ago
the late Senator James Cou-
zens had advised Roosevelt
to invite Ford to the White
House and make friends
with him, pointing out that
Ford didn't like Wall Street
any better than did the
president.
But Ford declined. The
government had stopped
buying his automobiles be-
cause he wouldn't play
ball with NRA and Ford
told friends he wouldn't let
it look as if he had gone to
Washington to dicker over
a few dollars.
No more invitations went
to Dearborn Until G. Hall
Roosevelt recently acted as
fixer.
Anent G. Hail
G. Hall Roosevelt's first
name is Gracie, but he is a
broad-shouldered, powerful
energetic six • footer with
blond, slightly curly hair.
He is a vice president of
the Commercial Investment
Trust, which owns Univer-
sal Credit Corporation,
which finances Ford car
sales.
Mrs. Roosevelt and her
younger brother share a
close, affectionate relation-
ship. G. Hall, fearing that
she might have a break-
down while driving alone,
tests her automobile when-
ever he is in Washington.
He has been known to pro-
test the service given her
machine by the White House
garage and once drove the
car all the way to New York
to demonstrate its defects to
the dealer from which it. had
been bought.
When In Washington G.
Hall stays at a hotel, ex-
plaining that the White
House is "too crowded."

Method of Cake
Making Reviewed
By MRS. LEE ALDERMAN
DECKER—"The first essential
of making a good cake is the
selection of an accurate recipe,"
stated Mrs. Aamon Morris to
members of the Decker home
demonstration club at the home
of Miss Susie Johnson.
A properly heated oven is the
second essential in successful
cake making. The bottoms of
straight side pans should be
greased, not the sides. Heavy
bock this week to a specialist.
Miss Betty Nell Johnson who
has been teaching in Goodman,
has returned to her home for
the summer vacation.
Miss Hautine Bankhead, who
has been visiting in Midland for
some time has returned home.
HAPPY RELIEF
FROM PAINFUL
BACKACHE
Caused by Tired Kidney*
Many of those gnawing, nagging, painful
backaches people blame on colds or strains
are often caused by tired kidney*—and may
be relieved vhen treated in the right way.
Thekidneya are Nature's chief way of tnkirg
excess acids and poisonous waste out of the
blood. Most people pass about 3 pints a day or
about 3 pounds of waste.
If the 15 miles of kidney tubes and filters
don't work well, poisonous waste matter stays
in the blood. These poisons may start nagging
backaches, rheumatic pains, loss of pep and
energy, getting up nights, swelling, puffine^s
un«ler the eyes, headaches and dizzineys.
Don't wait! Ask your druggist for Doan's
PilLs, used successfully by millions for over 40
years. They give happy relief tnd will help the
15 miles of kidney tubes fluph out poisonous
waste from the blood. (.let Down's rills.
