Planted Fall Garden
Katherine, small daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Rush, was
burned on the leg and the cab of
the Kush truck destroyed by tire
Wednesday morning near the
end of the concrete slab in Pat-
tonville creek bottom on the
Choctaw Trail. He was on his
way to Paris after a load of
freight when the accident oc-
curred. Failure to replace- the
top on the gasoline tank under
tile seat after tilling the tank
caused the fluid to slush out and
drip down on the exhaust which
set iton tire. Katherine remark-
ed toher father that she smelled
something burning; Mr. Kush
stopped, and when lie did so. the
blaze from the burning tank,
which had been driven to the
rear while the truck was in
motion, shot out from under the
seat. Mr. Rush grabbed his
(laughter and lifted her to the
| ground, and as lie did so her
dress caught on fire, but lie
smothered it out with his hand$.
A place about the size of a dollar
was burned on her leg.
After making sure the fire on
his daughter’s dress had been
extinguished, lie turned his at-
tention to the truck, which was
then burning tiercely. He un-
loaded some merchandise from
the truck winch lie was carrying
to Paris, and with wet sacks in
the truck used in covering ice,
beat out the flames. A bucket
of water secured from a nearby
house which was thrown across
the mouth of the gasoline tank,
smothered out the flame. Haul-
age to the truck amounted to
about $50. The cab was practi-
cally consumed and the steering
wheel burned until a new one
will be necessary.
DEPART PUBLIC SCHOOL
OPENS NEXT MONDAY
’Squire Oglesby of Minter,
was in Deport Tuesday and paid
The Times a pleasant visit. He
is 79 years old, but still gets
about in a lively fashion and says
he has planted two gardens this
year—one in the spring, and the
other just prior to our recent
heavy rains, and it is now coming
up nicely. Mr. Oglesby does
-not believe the average farmer
raises enough of the food he
consumes on his own table.
He was born jn Kentucky, but
has been bs this state for forty
years, and says people lived a
great deal easier in the earlier
y. wa*i accompan- [days than they do now, due to
^'S8e3 Velina John-1 the fact that they seldom bought
Rttbeh °f Paris,who anything to eat except sugar,
I er guests for a few days, coffee end spices.

fifth anniversary of their first

(By Supt. Holloway)
The Deitort public school will

has been re-worked to a certain
extent, the board of trustees hav
ing left nothing undone within
the extent of its finance, so every
thing is in readiness for a sue.
cessful school term.
Let me urge that each parent
start his boy or girl the first
day if possible. It will be a
great advantage to them in mak-
ing their grade and in getting
the schedule arranged so that
they may have no conflicts.
There will be a short program
rendered in the auditorium be-
ginning at '9 o’clock to which
each person interested in the
school is cordially invited. We
expect a large number of pat-
ents to be present thereby
showing that you are interested
in your children and in the com
munily, and under whom they
are to be trusted for the coming
year. We not only expect your
cooperation the first day but
sincerely hope that we shall have
your hearty co-operation thru-
out the year. It is a very easy
thing for a person to say that he
will cb-operate with the teacher
and superintendent, but it is
another thing to do so. I trust
that the people here shall look
upon the success of the coming
school year seriously and that
you shall be fair minded enougli
to look on both sides of any
question tiiat might arise.
The following program will be
rendered:
Song America—Audience;

“ 1,000 to I ”
Big odds, when you are measuring banking se-
curity, aren’t they?
Yet every State bank in the Guaranty fund sys-
tem can truthfully say to their non-interest deposit-
ors that they offer them ADDED security of one
thousand to one.
For there are about one thousand State Banks
in the Guaranty Fund system today —the integrity
of everyone pledged to secure the depositors of one
or all. • ’
*
An ideal system—one that has stood the shocks
of depression and the wear of years. We are proud
to have helped build it, and see our depositors enjoy
the substantial benefits.
Let us give you Guaranty Fund details.
