Here To Date

Durant is getting off to a fast
start this year on the cotton front.
with 2l5 bales already ginned by
the Durant Gin Company. Ginning
season started here about ten days
ago and an average of about twenty
bales a day have come in steadily.
Over IS bales a day can be ginned.
The Durant gin is the only gin
in this area with sprinkler system
which affords added protection for
the farmers cotton. The gin, owned
by Claud Wilkes, is the only gin
in the county with the advantages
of the Lummus cleaner and dryer,
which makes possible better sam
pie, meaning higher prices for the
farmer.
Farmers in this area, also have
the advantage of ginning their cot
ton, putting it in the government
loan, and storing it in one place, by
taking advantage of the facilities
of the Durant Warehouse operated
in connection with the Durant gin
Only about 1900 bales were GIN
ned here last year, a short season
Indications are that this years bum

number of bales ginned here.

throughout our country today.
People are saying. 'The war was
fought and won for WHAT"
The so-called peace we have to-
day is small reward for Americas
expenditure of men, money, and
materials in World War II.
Return for fighting Russia will
be even less.
Loss of face" seems insignificant
when viewing war with all its horri-
BILE effects.
The American people can have
what we want war or neace
In either case we must be strong in
order to get what we want
whether it is war or peace.
The necessity Of strength is OBJ
vious in fighting a war. The neces-
sity Of being strong to safeguard the
peace we want should be equally
obvious.
