COVEES WEST COLLIN AND EAST DENTON COUNT.ES LIKE A BLANKET. DEVOTED TO THE DfEU.LD.NG OF FI.ISCO AND CONT.GUOUS TERRITORY. PR!NTED IN THE KICHEST SECT.ON OF THE BLACK LAND BELT
FRISCO. COLLIN COUNTY. TEXAS FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 15, 1929.
NO. 45.
The P. T. A. met Wednesday with
12 members present. The play by
the 5th grade was very laughable
and entertaining. Also had 5 or 6
visitors.
* Music was rendered by Juanita
Cook and was enjoyed by all. In the
absence of Mrs. Ray Polser the
“Happy Thought’’ was given by
Mrs. J. M. Ogle. Paid up cards were
handed out to those present. Par-
ents day at school will be observed
Nov. 22. It is the hope of the P.
T. A. that every parent who possibly
can will visit the school at any hour
during the day.
Our District President is to visit
us soon; so let me urge that you be
at all the meetings, that you do not
miss seeing her for the benefit of
you members who were not present.
Want to say that our local organiza-
tion is included in the Collin County
Life Membership.
Miss Dunafan favored us with a
very helpful and interesting talk on
child management.
We certainly enjoyed the steriop-
tican lecture given by Mr. Carleton.
We are very anxious to see more of
his pictures of foreign travel, which
he will show Friday night.

3ilot Point Woman
Claimed By Death
Silverton, Texas.—A double wed-
ding in Clovis, New Mexico, Wednes
day, October 16th, was of much in-
terest to Silverton people.. Miss Eu-
tha Kellough, daughter of Mrs.
Stallings, and Mr. Arthur Thomas,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Thomas,
were united in marriage during the
same ceremony that united Miss
Mildred Hill, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Kelly Hill of Hereford, and
Mr. Elmer Stinson, son of Mr. and
Mrs. E. D. Stinson of this place, as
man nad wife.
Mrs. Stallings, Miss Ruth Thomas,

tist pastor, Rev. Nix, officiating.
Mr. and Mr3. Thomas have rooms in
Dr. Moore residence. Mr. and Mrs.
Stinson are at home in a little bung
alow in southeast Silverton, which
was the gift to the bride and groom
from Mr. E. D. Stinson.
The above article will also be of
interest to Frisco people as Miss
Mildred Hill was formerly of this
place, before moving to the west a
few months ago, with her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Kelly Hill.

25.000 Destitute
Following Failure
Mexican Crops
Mexico, City, Nov. 2—Twenty-
five thousand agricultural workers
are without means of a livelihood as
a result of crop failures in the State
of Durango, and unless the govern-
ment grants assistance they and
their families, totaling 100,000 per-
sons, will face starvation, according
to a petition presented to President
Portes Gil.
The Durango representation in the
chamber of deputies called on the
president to urge that a loan of $1,-
500.000 be extended by the govern-
ment to several large companies in
the State which have promised to
provide work for the unemployed
there in case funds are available.
The recent long drouth has ruined
96 per cent of the cotton, com and
bean crops in the eastern part of
•Durango, the petitioners sadi.

Man Fatally Shoots
Wife, Slays Himself
Borger, Nov. 8.—Mrs. Virgie Far-
thing died today of -nOunda Inflicted
yesterday by her estranged husband,
Jim Farthing, just before he took
his own life. The woman was shot
three times.
Failure of Farthing to effect a re-
conciliation with his wife was be-
lieved to have been the cause for the
shooting which occurred at Phillips,
near here.
The story cf the shooting was told
by Mrs. J. A. Swinnea, Mrs. Farth-
ing’s mother, who was in a room
next to that in which the shooting
occurred. Farthing came to the
Swinnea home yesterday she said
to beg his wife to come home. She
apparently refused; for Mrs. Swin-
nea heard him say he would go
away and not bother her any more.
Then, the woman continued, kiss-
ed his 6-year-old son good-bye and
several shots were fired. Farthing
ran out the back door, raised the
pistol to his forehead nad pulled the
trigger, his son attempting to stop
him.
Both families came here from Van
Zandt County.
Old Currency Piled
Up At Washington
Old style currency in use before
the smaller bills were placed in cir-
culation is passing: into the realm of
forgotten things at the rate of six
or seven tons -diflty.
So fast are the old bills being
taken from circulation that more
than 180 tons are now ot<vr*>H in the
Treasury Department’s strong boxes
and a great m%cerator and incinera-
tor, wo'rking at top speed, have been
unable to keep up with their task of
destruction.
With a yearly saving in the
United States of 550 tons of paper
and 500 tons of ink, through reduc-
tion in the size of currency, there
is little likelihood of “cheaper mon-
ey,” but the example in economy
surely ought to be worth something.

Mrs. Sallie Thrash
Dies in Lewisville
Pilot Point, Texas.—Mrs. Mary E.
Pollard, widow of the late W. R.
Pollard, died Tuesday morning, Nov.
5th, 1929, of apoplexy at the age of
70 years, and 27 days.
Funeral services, in charge of Rev.
L. B. Tooley, Methodist pastor in
Aubrey, were held at the Methodist
church of Pilot Point at 3:00 p. m.
A selected choir furnished the music
Interment was made in the Masonic
cemetery.
Mary Elizabeth Pollard was born
in Columbia, Kentucky, Oct. 8, 1859,
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Brockman. On Oct. 14, 1880, Bhe
was married at Columbia, Ky., to W.
P. Pollard, who preceded her to
death several years ago. To this
union were born ten children: Al-
bert, Creed and Mattie Pollard, of
Pilot Point; Joe H. Pollard of Ce-
leste; Mrs. L. M. Jones of Van Al-
styne; Luther Pollard of Celeste; J.
W. Pollard of Greenville; R. H. Pol-
lard, Grand Saline; Frank Pollard of
Mexia, and Dewey Pollard of Wich-
ita Falls.
Mrs. Pollard, who had lived in
number of farms near Pilot Point
during her married life, and about
twelve in southwest Pilot Point, has
made many friends in and near this
city. By her children, grandchildren
and other relatives, and a host of
friends in this locality, she will be
sadly missed. She lived a true Chris-
tian life, happy with family and
friends, and kind to all whom she
met in her long and useful life.
Death came to her with merciful
suddenness, but os a severe shock to
her relatives and friends. The sym-
pathy of the entire community is ex-
to the bereaved family.

Contrast of the Past
With the Present
By Rev. S. W Miller
I have been requested to write an
article contrasting the past with the
present. I can readily look back sev-
enty years in contrast with the pres-
ent, and so far as real satisfaction
in life, I can say the majority of the
people were better satisfied with life
then than they are now. There were
but few things then to attraat -jc&-
citement and cause
but now we are in a whirl on every
side, not knowing what the next hour
will urms »~*L.-_________
As to honesty, there were very'
few people but what could be trust-
ed with money, stock, or goods; and
An l{}-months-old baby boy who
wandered off while his mother had
gone to carry a drink of water to
her husband in the field caused a
search by more than a hundred
men in the bottoms of Sabine River,
nine miles south of Lone Oak. Lan-
terns flashed like will o’wispc over
a wide area, until after midnight,
the vigil finally was rewarded—a
searcher heard a child cough in the
underbrush along the river, a mile
and a half from the child’s home.
Going to the spot whence the
sound emanated, the searcher found
the child—sleeping peacefully in the
chill November night, despite the
fact that it had on only a gown. The
discoverer hastily bundled the child
up in a cotton sack and took him to
his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Crab
tree.
The boy apparently was little
worse off for his experiences, save
for scratches in his legs caused
from going through the underbrush.
How the little boy got as far away
from home as he did was a mystery.
When she went to the field, the mo-
ther left him sleeping. He evidently
awakened and went in search of his
mother, going in the wrong direc-
tion and wandering on and on until
exhaustion forced him to lie down
and rest.

Field Work Completed
“Moreover, loadings should con-
tinue the increase during the next
few months and reach a peak in
April or May,” Mr. Nichols said.
“The showing in October is excep-
tionally good in comparsion to the'
poor months of September and
much better than the record of last
October.
“During the months, 696 cars of
fruits and vegetables were shipped
from Texas farms against 90 cars
in September and 225 cars in Octo-
ber, 1928. This is the best October
for which the Bureau has records. If
the present rate of increase contin-
ues, a new high record for this in-
dustry in the State will be establish-
ed in 1929.
“Markets have not experienced
the usual fall activity and prices in
many cases were lower. Potatoes
was the exception. Prices advanced
sharply and are now the highest in
several years.”

in Celina. During the nineteen years
that he has weilded his razor and
shears he has never been absent
from the shop more than two days
at any one time, except when he
was sick.
He has shaved an army of men
which, had it confronted him in
body and demanded a shave, even
though he had twenty years in
which to accomplish the task, would
have appalled him. Counting 100 per
week, which is a very low average,
there would have been 104,000 of
them.
The whiskers Mr. King has remov-
ed from the faces of his patrons and
the hair clipped from their domes
would no doubt fill the large build-
ing in which he works, and the lath-
he has spread on their faces
would provide enough foam to cover
large part of the Gulf of Mexico.
He estimates that in shaving this
army of men he has worn out about
100 rasors. Next.—Celina Record .
Van Alstyne Leader: We had a

has consummated favorably. That
there is no better location to be
found for the plant and that the re-
quired number of milch cows cen be

It is now time for consideration of
other features of the proposition,

City of Dallas Is
Sued for $107,755
Dallas.—Suddenly terminating ne-
gotiations which have been in pro-
cess for several months between the
city of Dallas and landowners in the
upper Lake Dallas basin, six suits
seeking a total of $107,765 in dam-
ages were filed Saturday in the
District Court at Denton. Heavy
rains last spring caused the lake to
encroach upon additional acreage, it
is claimed.
Water Commissioner John M.
Fouts said Saturday night he was
surprised to hear the suits had been
filed, since ho had expected a settle-
ment to be reached with the land-
owners without litigation.
“We are prepared to meet them,
though,” he said, “for the city has
had engineers making surveys in the
lake basin for the past two months.”
Plaintiffs in the 3uits are J. E.

The Universal Air Lines are sur-

notes were very seldom required in
matters of business. How is it now?
A man's word was as good as his
bond. But now a bond must be back-
ed by good security. A man’s word
is worth nothing in common busi-
ness unless secured by collateral.
Then merchants could trust their
customers without a mortage, and
one seldom ever went broke, but now
mortages often prove fraudlent and
merchants fail by the score.
Banks were few because men
could keep their money at home in
perfect safety, as robbers were un
known almost. But now banks are a
necessity from robbers and yet they
are becoming as dangerous as the j
robbers are; your money is not aftenl
safe in the bank.
Then doctors could practice, feeling
they were sure of their pay, but to-
day most doctors get from one
fourth to one third of their pay.
As to schooling, our schools were
run by subscription and the patrons
would see to it that the teacher was
both moral, If not religious, and
such thing as an unbeliever having
charge of our boys and girls in
school would not be tolerated. Our
amusements at school were simple,
but they were not dangerous. Such j
a thing as having a physician at one
of our games to caro for those who
would get hurt was never heard of,
and we were decidely better satis-
fied than the boys of today are.
Truth is a principle and it was im-
pressed upon the young mind, both
at home and in school; but what is
it today? The leading idea with the
common school boy is: “If I can get
by ft is sir fight.”
Honesty and truth are twin sis-
ters; neither can be broken without
violating the other.
We sent men then to legislate for
the good of our citizens at large,
but now political polatics put men in
office to legislate for corperations
and clans. At that time there was
only one millianaire, but now the"
are counted by the hundreds, while
many of them are anarchists, and
only have use for the law of ou"
’and as they can use it for their sel-
'ish purpose.
