Signing Up—Initnad of Off
This in Monday the 28th—and it
a good thing that Franklin and
Johnson decided on this date for u»
grandmothers to sign that NRA card
because the gTandkiddies left yes
terday and it just couldn't have been
done before. Sixteen hours daily ia
as little as a grandmother can use
when three chillun are having their
i.-stion at her house—and much as
e think of the NRA—the grand-
kids have to come first. But we are
starting bright and early this day
:e that the good old home town
is duly signed up—and our card goes
ith the rest of them, is a gieat
life—and you have to take some
th ; ngs on faith—and that is what wc
doing. We don't know where the
money is coming from that we arc
supposed to "spend until it hurtef’
we an- ou our way even if we
have to "Thumb it".
Well—you should have been out
at G.-ccnacre thig past Saturday af
ternoon around six o’clock to see
the parade pass by. Yes—we had
circus parade and a big crowd—
you would have thought that a sure
enough affair had come to town if
you had peeked around into the
Ijark yani where the "bleechcth’'
re full. There was Grandma Allen
—and Aunt Mac—for little Jerry
Moore was in it—the parade of
Finney and James Smith.

here also—and Jere Sr. came late—
Jr.—acted as if he had been in pa
rades a’l his life. He and Martha
Carpenter “acted" together, for
Martha was Miss America (all doll
ed up in red. white, and blue) and
drew a small wagon in which Jere
Jr—rode in state. Being up to-date
—this firrt number in the parade
was Mh*s America and little NIRA
(Jere Jr.) who caried a basket in
which the New Deal was tucked—
also decorated in the stars and the
stripes. Jere was stunning looking
in a bathing suit and a tail cap and
carried out hi- part to perfection.
We didn't know that the parade was
going to break up a hand of bridge
—but the pretty ladies who were
dealing a game at Mother Sara’s—
jut* cut it out and came over—and
that arts fine. We had our good
friend Mrs. Beeson r.lao—and we
would have had the Doctor—but he
a date back at the college—
and we know he will never let any
thing come before that. ■
Next in tiie parade came the
Master of Ceremonies. Owner of the
Show and Animal trainer—»H three
one—and this was Enrmett Jr.,
he carried a whip three timen as long
as he was, wore blue trousers, green
waist—yellow sash and a black hat
with a long green plume. He was
lOthing if not gaudy—but that is
what you expect such a great man
to be. He was fcllewed by the
Great Indian snake charmer, in her
yellow and red robes and drawing a
wagon on which was her box of
“pets" the most poisoneas reptiles
known—and this was Katherine
Carpenter, known as Madam X. Y.
Q. Coming next was
Dick Dead Eye in person, with all
h'rt “guns'” around his waist—a
yellow sash and a big hat—and Roy
Nelson. Jr., carried off his part to
perfection, striding along as if he
had fifty “notches” on the handle
of his gun. The Sleeping
Princess came next—AND HOW!
Baby Sister”—(Frederica, Jr.,) in
the Carpenter’s doll carriage, "who
always sl.-cps with one eye open,
looking out for the •main chance"—
which is any cracker which might
come her way. She was lovely in
pale pink robe—with a hat the sire
hickory-nut on one side of her
head and a parcsol the si
ilnrxir plate. Hie greatest
Clown on Earth" Bozo—came next
,nd this was Cora—the little nurse
j is realy a clown in heart—and
knows more “tales" than Carter had
oats. .She wore a regular clown
costume—and disappointed the kids
because she didn’t “do some ritunta”
—hut I think she was scared of the
audiet^i-e—die hadn’t expected ao
many.—Last but not least—was the
Queen of the Trapese Artis*—and
a Bare-back rider to boot—and she
rode in a gaily decorated ’wagon’’
and wore a crown and a be-ruffled
pick paper skirt that would have
made any bare-hack rider die of
envy. This we* Martha—the three
and n half year old, and she waved
her fan and dangled her bracelets like
nobodies business. The only trouble
with Martha was she wanted to sleep
in her costume and wear it to Cor-
dele the next 'morning so her other
grandmother could see it.
To complete the parade—all the
performers and the audience
fejvcd pegjiutii—trtick ciyidly and
fig newtons, and we chatted until
as too dark to see our words.
It had rained just at parade time—
we were delayed a half hour—
but who cares for rain when a sir-
parade is in town?—Among
others present were the Carpenter
Kid-* “mi-and pa"—and George.
Jr.. Granddaddy Lord—Daddy and
Mother and Granddaddy Hines, Moth
Sarah Nelson, Aunt Beula Reid
and Mother Ruth Mohaughn and lit
tle Jimmy—and we had a phone
message from |Sister Little Little
that the rain kept her at home. Wil
liam—Grandmother Allen’s right
hand man was- here also to see Jere
—Jr., hand out the New Deal—and
only hope that there will be noth
ing hut aces and kings in the pack.
Its a great life—the kiddies will
t* back to spend Thursday night
with us—and then on to iWlashing-
ton. We have already begun to plan
for a sure enough "show" next year
—and we may decide to ask CoL
Roach or Dr. Beeson if we may have
it in one of the auditoriums Wo
think that would be fine.

Atlanta, Ga.—G. C. Adams, Com
missioner of Agriculture, is going
to propose in the next issue
Market Bulletin a new “back to the
farm” movement’ which contemplates
exchange of city real estate for farm
property.
I find a number of people living
i" the cities who own farm lands
in the country. They find it
profitable to try to farm these lands

“I had sour stomach and gas."
Mr. Hlgglna explains, ‘and often
I would have bilious spells. I read
about Thedford's Black-Draught

me of this trouble. I keep It all

from a distance. They would like to
exchange these farms for homes in
the cities nearest litem so that they
could look after them without ex
pense,” said Mr. Adams.
“Probably there are as many peo
ple who own city property who would
be glad to exchange t for farm
lands. Many famlier in the towns
are not employed, but they could
be employed if they were on the
farm. This exrh.inge of property
would greatly encourage the ‘back
to the fans’ movement.’’
