Three Hundred Attended Red Cross
Meeting at Court House Tuesday.
Band Assisted In Program
"I have but two boys. They are
both volunteering. I am proud of
them. Mothers, let me plead with you
to encourage your sons."
—Mrs. Holden.
"I have loaned my son to God and
his country, I am only sorry that I
have to sta^ to care for my other
children, and not accompany him to
Prance." —Mrs. Stone.
The above are quotations from two
mothers'addressing an audience of
300 who attended the Red Cross mass
meeting at the court house Tuesday
night. It was the most enthusiastic
and interesting meeUng that has beea
held in his part of the state and these
stirring appeals made by these two
Owing to the fact that the pastor
will be unavoidably absent from home
for'the next few days there will be no
preaching services in this church next
Sabbath. As our Baptist friends so
cordially paid us a visit during the
absence of Brother O'Neal a t&w
weeks ago, let me suggest that a re-
turn visit would be a graceful com-
plement.
A letter from Herbert Hoover, of
Washington, who has under his care
the war-time food control of this na-
tion, requesting that the pastor will
preach a special sermon on the Con-
servation of Food on Sunday, July 1,
will be carried out from this pulpit
to the best of your pastor's ability.
The whole country is to be appealed
to from the pulpits^of our land on
that day, and while f would abhor the
use of the pulpit for political pur-
poses, still I feel that there are times
awl subjects which "call for the #
cial attention of all thinking people,
and upon such subjects and at such
times I would be every ready to re-
spond to what I deem the call of

Over Half of County Visited by Good
Rain. Wind Storm Causes Many
Town People to Hunt Cellars.
A splendid rain fell over more than
half of Washita county Wednesday
night according to reports received
here up until noon Thursday. A good
half an inch of rain was recorded
here by the rain guage at the State
National Bfank and south of town and
also in the west and southwest parts
of the county the rain was much heav-
Eer. Just how far north and east the
rain extended is not known here yet.
Accompanying the rain was a hard,
wind which blew for several minutes
and caused many of the townspeople
here to go to their# storm cellars.
There was almost a continiial flash of
li-rhttning while the wind was blow-
ing hardest and the appearance of
the cloud was dangerous ejjough to
justify anyone seeking safe quarters.
No dnrnage, up until noon today, had
been reported from any part of the
county by the wind or lightning.
The rain came at a very opportune
time, and will be a blessing to corn,
feed crops and alfalfa. Aft of the
grain was not cut. but it is not be
