Friday, July 26, 1940 Fifty-Second Year N o . 38 Queen To Rule British Anti-Aircraft Guns Alert for Nazis Over 1940 Fair; Contest Coming 7 Crop Insurance Being Paid To Many Farmers Payment of crop insurance by the federal government is going to be more extensive in this coun ty than was at first estimated, ac cording to Dewey Thompson, local administrator. Already 25 farm ers have applied for payment un der the insurance as their harvest has turned out less than three quarters of their ten year average of wheat. Some others have threshed within a very few bushels of their injured amount and will either be paio very little or will receivo nothing. A few wheat loans have been made and those who finish their harvest and wish to take the loan will find the machinery all set up and ready to function at their will. The loan rate of approximately 64 cents is so far much higher than the market price. It is expected that loans will be taken on «11 wheat grown here this year. Decision Made To Elect Queen To Add Interest In ounty Fair The 1940 Sherman Fair will have a queen to rule over i t Managers, secretaries, hoard meirtbera, judges, contestants will have a ruler, young and comely, to obey. She will be outfitted in a western costume befitting her station in the fair and will be mounted on the best horse that can be obtained for her. Who will she be? That depends on the choice made by the people of the county themselves. For, determined as we are to have a queen, she must be chosen by a democratic pro cess. She will be elected. County School Audits Show Good Condition Rural Pupils Fortunate In Price Paid For Educational Advantages The audit and the report of the ccunty school superintendent are done, making it possible to obtain some figures on the operation of the county’s schools for the past year.
