Corsicana, Tex., Aug. 15. Although
he had a vision of an empire in Tex.,
Stephen F. Austin, the great colon-
izer, could not mirror the Texas that
is today.
Although his compatriots of the
same era of the early 1830’s Green
Dewitt, Edwards, and others predicted
great tilings for the undeveloped em-
pire they were founding, they could
not see the mighty commonwealth of
a century later.

From the oppression of a despotic

Washington, Aug. 14.—The gov-
ernment sought today to stop free
circulation of the gangsters’ favor-
ite tool—‘the machine. gun.
If a person possesses a machine
gun after next month he’ll have to
register it with the commissioner of
internal revenue.
If he wants to get one after Sep-,
tember 24 he’ll have to get an order
from the commission, be fingerprint-
ed and pay a price boosted by a
sales tax of 3200.
The burea of internal revenue

plying the law aimed to keep ma-
notified to come for their Certifi-
cates, as it will show their Com-
munity any Application number,which
will save much time in delivering the
certificates to the proper person.
As fast as the certificates are re-
ceived in the ‘County Agent’s office,
notices will be mailed out to the pro-
ducers and it will not ibe necessary
to come for your certificates until
notified.

century registering the 'most phe-
nomenal progress ever recorded by
a people to celebrate in 1936.
It is in the commemoration of this
past, which shall be the outstanding
feature of the celebration, that Texas
will hold its Centennial of 1936.
While it is paying due and proper
homage to the founders of our pre-
sent civilization, it shall also, in this
Centennial, accurately portray the
progress of the century along mater-
ial, spiritual, cultural, educational,
sorial and business lines.
By contrast will be shown the
few rude implements of civilization
available in 1836. and how heroic has
been the strugle to build from that
beginning into the present proud em-

It is this century of progress that
the State will celebrate with its
