low prices and the consequent re-

produce for less than two cents

A mass meeting of about. 400
growers was held at Frankston,
about seventeen miles west of
Jacksonville, where spokesmen de-
clared they would “cram tomatoes
down the buyers’ throats before
we will sell for less than two
cents.”
Packing sheds were idle Friday
all over the tomato belt. Repre-
sentatives of buying firms ex-
plained that the low prices were
due to diminished market condi-
tions in the east, caused by com-
petition from the Mississippi to-

lugs Friday at 1 cent per pound,
but the selling strike was general

Albany, Texas, June 9.—Enraged
after a separation and property

Ernest Gallion, 35, CWA worker
and part time railway employe,,

niece, a bride of a few months,
and then killed himself.

Thomas, 20. of Fort Worth were
shot down by Gallion as they pre-
pared to leave the Gallion house-
hold for Fort Worth.
The shooting climaxed several
days of domestic trouble. Gallion,
accompanied by J. A. Leonard. en-

Mrs. Gallion and Mrs. Thomas
emerged from the front door.
A brief quarrel followed and

Advance registrations indicate
a record breaking attendance, with
more than 500 editors, publishers
and visitors registered.
There will be no leaving the
wives at home this year, either,
because the convention entertain-
ment committee, headed by R. L.
(Bob) Thornton, Mrs. Harold Ab-
rams, Joe Kempton, and J. Ben
Critiz, manager of the Dallas
Chamber of Commerce, have com-
pleted a full program of enter-
tainment for women visitors to the
convention that none will want to
miss. The piece de resistance of
this program is a summer style
show, with twenty of the most at-
tractive models from the Dallas
Wholesale Merchants’ Association’s
annual style show organization,
displaying the products of fifteen
Dallas apparel manufacturers, The
style show will be held in the air-
cooled Crystal ballroom of the
Baker Hotel, and will be directed
by “Andy” Anderson, famed
throughout the Southwest as the
moving spiirt behind the Whole-
saler’s annual exhibits during the
marketing season.
The models will portray the
well-dressed editor’s wife (or
daughter or sweetheart) in three
complete ensembles—sports, street
and evening wear, with shoes, mil-
finery and accessories to match.
The styles exhibit will be inter-
spersed with entertaining vaude-

ists from Radio Station WFAA.
Silk hosiery will be given as prizes
