EckERT LADIES HAVE FINE
AUXILIARY ENTERTAINMENT

On Friday. April llth. there was a
large gathering OF women on Ante
lope hill. The hospitable home of
Mrs. Grubbs was thrown open and a
repast deserving the name of ban
quet was served. There were fifty
one persons present.
The occasion was a meeting OF the
women's Auxiliary of Eckert Baptist
church. This band of deserving wom-

duet was sangty Mrs. Pease of Cedar

by Miss Williamson of Austin and
Mrs. Jarvis. Dear old Mother" Webb
whose presence is always benedic-
ton. with a heart overlooking with
Christian love gave expressions to
words which touched many hearts and
caused tears to flow.
Thus there was a happy meeting
and blending of interest during the
hours of social intercourse and spirit
nal uplift.
There were many expressions OF
appreciation for the kindness of Mrs
Grubbs. who had opened her generous
heart and taken all in.
The day was perfect overhead. and
we think its reflection was in the
ihearts of those in the home on the
brow of that mesa with the placid lake
lying at its feet Old Sol dropping
toward the Western horizon gave the
warning. so the ladies took their de
parture and with glowing hearts des
cended the winding way for their
homes in the valley below.
1t is hoped that there will be many
repetitions of such gatherings where
the ties that bind hearts in Christian
love will be felt and the effort that
broadens he horizon of spiritual vision
will be manifest.

Good work is being reported in the
matter of securing sugar beet acreage
for the propos ID factory at Delta, ano
here is little doubt of the full amount
being seured. Some three thousand
lcres have already been contracted
md about average of 100 acres
4 day are being added in small tracts
of mostly five or ten acres.
The territory has not yet been en-
tirely covered, and If, when it has been
covered there should be something
lacking. a number of those who have
already signed up certain amounts
car be depended upon to sign more TO
their acreage contracts.
One of the best parts of the wotk
is. however. the interesting of more
farmers in raising beets. and ,tnis
should not prove a difficult task, as
the growing of sugar beets has be
come one of the safest and surest In
come crops for Delta lands.
