are co-operating in a cleanup
project at the old Silver City

Those in charge of the clean-
up are trying to get in touch
with all who have loved ones
buried at ' Silver City and ask
their assistance in this work.
An all day - working has been
planned for Tuesday May 25 and
all who can are asked ta come
to work and bring . sharp tools
such as axes hoes and shovels.

ed to send someone or send
funds to hire workers.

To People Who Wage
Cold War
Washington D. C. On May 6
the wire services carried a sig-
nificant story under the dateline
of Plzen (Pilsen) Chechoslo-
vakia. It told of the celebration in
that city of the anniversary of
its liberation by the triumphant
Third Army under General Pat-
ton. In the final paragraph were
these words:
"The cornerstone is at the
scene where Patton and his men
after a whirlwind march through
Germany halted on Army orders
because it had been agreed that
the Russians would be permitted
to finish the seizure of Czecho-
slovakia from the Germans.
The Russians completed their
so-called seizure' of Czecho-
slovakia a few weeks ago much
to the dismay of those who is-
sued the orders which halted
General Patton's troops in Plzen.
From that day in May 1945
when General Patton's troops
felt (lie tug of diplomatic reins
until the 80th Congress began
its inquiries into our interna-
tional affairs Americas world
position was constantly deterio-
rating under our inept leadership
and complete lack of foresight.
Heres a four-pronged proof
found by Congresisonal alertness
and action:
1. In the face of impending
critical foreign relations and
growing shortages of our natural
resources we continued to export
oil to the very nations who were
becoming unfriendly.
2. While initial shipments of
supplies and materials were be-
ing made to friendly countries
(to bolster our foreign front
against Communism) continuing
shipments of similar items were
being permitted nations with
whom we were about to wage
nothing leas than cold war.'
3. Knowing that great finan-
cial demands would be made on
American taxpayers to meet for-
eign cold war requirements
the administration took no steps
to reduce administrative costs of
a government bloated by war-
time needs.
4. A steel shortage for domes-
tic rehabilitation purposes is now
further aggravated by new wai
preparations. Then it is further
aggravated by a shortage of cok-
ing coaL
(Shortage of coking coal?
Why we have been shipping
coking coal to France for months
and France la next door to Ger-
many's tremendous Ruhr Valley
which is full of coking coal.)

Object of the provision is to

There is no place in the gov-
ernment for anyone who docs

Drilling 0! This Block
Would Help North Grady
A big lease block in 11 North 8 west just over the
river in Canadian county northwest of Minco went on
record recently. This lease spread covered the Petry
ranch and is a solid block. The leases were taken for only
5 years and $15 an acre was paid for the leases. This
means thut the block must be drilled within five years
and the dope is that the block may be drilled within the
next 18 months. This block waa seismographed and is said
to be on a high.
PARROTT SAYS . .
MUNG BEANS
MIGHT PAY BIG
Mung Deans Are Soil
Builders - Will Make
In 65 Days
L N. Parrott in charge of
the new A. and M. College
. experiment station east of
G'hiekaxha says Grady county
wheat farmers who get their
crops combined early might
make a good cash crop out of
Mung beans. Parrott . says
Tillman county farmers have
mage as much as sixty dol-
lars an acre from Mung beans
planted as a catch crop after
the wheat crop was combined.
Mung beans are not as high as
they were in the war days but
beans are likely to bring at
least eight cents a pound
which makes nearly five dol-
lars a bushel.
Mung beans are a soil builder
and can be planted and harv-
ested and the land put back into
wheat if planted late. They are
one of the quickest maturing
crops on the farm. They will
make in sixty five days. They
are easily harvested with a com-
bine. They are extra gxd feed
for chickens and livestock when

some good mung beaus for $15

If this block is drilled it will

in northern Grady county. North
Grady is likely to be the hot spot
in the oil game for the next few
years. The Cities Service Co. and
the Superior Co. have large
lease spreads in this entire area.
The Canadian county block is on
a trend which runs northwest
across Grady Co from the Liv-
ermore well drilled near Mid-
dleberg several yean ago.
The Denver Producing and
Refining Co. were drilling
Thursday at 16012 feet on their
wildcat near Cogar. They are
drilling in the Wilcox sand but
it is harder than most rock and
shows no odor smell or stain.
The Denver Company says it is
costing $100 a foot to drill this
formation. They are drilling
with a diamond core barrel. .
They have had 112 feet of hard
Wilcox sand. When they ruin a
core barrel it costa $1750. How
long the Denver Co. will keep
going isn't known. They may go
