A GOOD LADY FRIEND TO BAKE
A POUND CAKE
A good lady friend sends the Echo
man word that she is going to cook
him an old-time pound cake for what
he said about these noisy automobiles
running day and night in Sulphur
Springs. She wants to wait until the
Truett revival is over.
That suits us. There is nothing bet-
ter than an old-time pound cake, such,
as Hoover Bentley and the Echo man
ate more than forty years ago on the
red hills of Georgia, unless it, be two
•pound cakes. The world is growing
older and better in many ways but
in some few instances she is slipping
backward. There is no substitute for
that old-time pound cake and neither
is there any substitute for the old,
old story of the Good Book, when
told in the old, old way of Jesus of
Nazareth and His power to save all
who call upon His name.
•More men and women have heard
Dr. Truett tell that story during the
revival of the past few days than
have ever heard any other speaker on
any subject in Hopkins County since
the Echo man came here fifteen years
ago. Literally thousands have heard
him, some one time, some several
times and many every time. Sulphur
Springs is noted for its large crowds
during political campaigns and very
few public men fail to come this way.
Mrs. Ferguson opened her campaign
for Governor at the cotton shed and
gave that challenge to Dan Moody
about resigning. Moody came here
to answer the challenge. Neither
had as large audience as heard Dr.
Truett Sunday night, and neither
held his or her crowd as did Dr. Tru-
ett when he told the same old story
as has been told for two thousand
years and will be told till time shall
be no more. When Dr. Truett asks
for all who believe and in their own
feeble way were trusting in Jesus for
salvation, to stand, it seemed almost
unanimous. That was a wonderful
and inspiring scene. It reminded the
Echo man of the story of Saint Peter
who fell away and denied his Master,
but who came again. There are thou-
sands of the followers of Saint Petei
in old Hopkins. They have fallen
away but recognize the gentle voice
of the Shepherd, and heed His call.
That is all the Echo man has to say
about that pound cake, except that
the good lady might bake two pound
cakes, one for Brother Truett. We
imagine*that he has not had one over
in the big city of Dallas for. the past
many years. The Echo man hesitates
to offer him a cold Coca Cola or a
fresh Travis Club, as we imagine he
knows nothing about these great and
modern stimulants that keep a fel-
low going down in No Man’s Land
from long before the sun comes over
the eastern hills these mornings till
he passes out of sight in the western
horizon in the evening. Our guess is,
lie likes an old-time pound cake, such
as mother cooked way over in the
mountains of North Carolina more
than fifty years ago.

HIS COKE

the Echo man is to keep Shafts, that
brilliant writer of the Greenville
Herald, straight on matters of im-
portance, not that we have been ap-
pointed his guardian but because he
is such a fine fellow and gets things
mixed and muddled at times.
Shafts has something to say about
cold Coca Cola made in Greenville,
and everything he says is true and
even more so. A bottle of cold Coca
Cola is the most refreshing and life-
sustaining stimulant that has touch-
ed the lips of the Echo man since he
and Hoover Bentley took our last
“sip” from a jug of that famous
mountain dew on the red hills of
Georgia more than forty years ago.
But what the Echo man wants to say
to Shafts and tell the world is, that
■there is a vast difference in bottled
Coca Cola, a difference that Shafts
does not and may never know, as the
rules governing the sale of bottled
Coca Cola limit the territory so that
Shafts must drink Greenville Coca
Cola in his own district and can not
and will not ever know of the great-
est bottled Coca Cola in all the world
unless he comes in person down to
Sulphur Springs and gets under the
influence of a bottle made by Mayor
Henry McGrede. Among the ingredi-
ents and the most essential ingredi-
ent, in each and every bottle of cold
Coca Cola is the water from which it
is made. That jip water over on the
black land belt does not and can
not stand the test, while the big
well down at the plant of Mayor
Henry McGrede is 100 per cent,
standing the acid test at all times as
no other water does in all Texas.
Don’t take our word for it, Shafts:
ask the traveling men who make your
town and Sulphur Springs. Yea, ask
those who live in your town. Your
friend Reeves is making a wonderful
coke, the equal of which can not be
found on the entire black land belt.
But one thing is lacking, over which
he has no control. Ask Sad Berry
about it. Ask Bose Berry. Sad will
hang his head in shame, as he is 100
per cent for Greenville. Bose will
smile and pat his famous little bull
dog pup on the head and tell you the
Echo man is telling the truth, the
whole truth and nothing hut the
truth.
Better than all this: drive down to
No Man’s Land and see for yourself.
And while you are down here we will
light a famous Travis Club, sold by
our friend, George Middleton, the
like of which there is none in all
Texas or elsewhere.
But here is what Shafts says, as he
talked too much:
SHAFTS notices a big advertise-
ment in this issue of the Herald which
carries pictures of the new equip-
ment recently installed by the
Reeves Manufacturing Company, lo-
cal bottlers of Coca Cola, and ten
other soft drink; beverages. The in-
genious bottle washing machine which
Bill Reeves has just added to his
complete plant is certainly the last
word in modern day bottling of bev-
erages. Time was when the consum-
ers paid little, if any attention, to
the sanitary conditions of the plants
of bottled drinks, but during the last
few years cleanliness has become a
prime requisite. If you will visit the
Reeves Manufacturing plant some-
time when the new machine is run-
ning, you will be surprised that so
modern a plant is a part of the in-
dustrial life of Greenville. The ma-
chine takes the bottles through sev-
eral processes of washing and then
places a clean, sterilized bottle under
the measure where the exact amount
out upon the wide bay of San Diego
to the protecting arm of Point Loma
in the distance. Standing on that
mellowed ground above the city Mr.
Raber told me briefly of the discov-
ery of San Diego by that intrepid
conquestador, Juan Rodriquez Cab-
rillo. Three hundred and eighty
nine years ago, it was, in September
of 1542 (65 years after the first
settlement at Jamestown, Virginia)
when two quaint ships, the San Sal-
vador and Victoria beat their way
through the Silver Gate and came to
rest as the first ships op white men
ever to land on the California coast.
From Presidio Hill we drove thru
Mission Hills along wide paved
streets lined with palms and row on
row of beautiful residences. .Driv-
ing steadily eastward through a por-
tion of the 90 square miles that
make up the city, we rolled upon
the great white arch of Cabriilo
Bridge and into the heart of 1400
acre Balboa Park. At the end of
the bridge on our left rose the shin-
ing tower of the California Building;
ahead the beautiful portals of the
Fine Arts gallery, famous as an ex-
ample of Spanish Renaissance archi-
tecture and housing an exhibit of art
from old Sapnish masters. I learn-
ed with surprise from Mr. Raber
that the Zoological Garden, situated
in the heart of the park, is now rat-
ed as third largest in the United
States and second in its varieties of
specimens. The highest flying cage
for birds in the world, “cageless”
type quarters for lions and other
dangerous animals, unique com-
pounds for elephants and camels,
and a series of dams and lakes for
aquatic birds and seals are features
of the garden. During our visit a
newsreal company, was engaged in
filming a group of polar bears at-
tempting to extract fish that had
been frozen into large cubes of ice.
On the final lap of our little trip
we passed a tremendous out door
pipe organ where free concerts are
given daily. Mr. Raber told me that
San Diego’s sunshine was so consis-
tent that these open air concerts are
possible on an average of 345 days
in the year.

all times. Shortly after my arrival
in San Diego I was taken imder the
capable wing of W. F. Raber, presi-
dent of the San Diego California
Club, the city’s community advertis-
ing organization, and the oldest of
its kind on the coast.
Under the able guidance of Mr.
Raber, several hours were devoted
to a tour of the city’s historical land-
marks and scenic attractions. Down
through the city we drove, past the
waterfront and the grey warriors of
the fleet; on past Lindbergh Field
where Lindy began his memorable
flight and thus to Old Town San
Diego where civilization on the west
coast began. Standing on the crest
of Presidio Hill, among the mouldy
tiles and the grass grown ruins of
(Longview News.)
Most stories tell of the famed
‘^Two-Gun” Gonzuallas, when the
Rangers are riding.
Well, why not? He's a Ranger ser-
geant, on the force of state troopers
for 1 4 years and renowned as one of
its best officers, both feared and
famed, with all his polite mannerisms
and dapper style.
While doing his stuff alone, he
gained a nickname as the “Lone
Wolf” and it sticks still, but for the
last seven years, Sergeant Ranger M.
T. (Lone Wolf) Gonguallas has had
a shadow.
That shadow is no lesser light than
the sergeant himself—equally as
brave a man and a more renowned
pistol shot.
We speak of Ranger Robert G.
(Bob) Goss, state champion pistol
shot. He not only is that now, but
has held the title for five straight
years—best pistol shot of all the
hard-shooting Texans.
In 1926, he won the title. Through
’27, ’28, ’29 and ’30 he has retained
[it and today holds the crown.
Two-Gun” Goss sounds just as
jgood as “Two-Gun” Gonguallas, and
[is deserved by both.
These two Rangers, most neatly
{dressed and most dangerous of all
the state troopers, are gentlemen
withal. Both are Shriners. Both dress
immaculately. Both are polite and
[genteel.
But both are poison with pistols—
{ambidextrous, equally as good shot
[with one hand as with the other.
Gonguallas carries two beautiful
45 automatics, highly engraved, with
[ivory handles. On the handles are
{heads of the famed Texas Longhorn
teer, with the horns inlaid in gold,
eautiful to behold are these deadly
weapons, worn on a thick belt with
highly engraved silver buckle and tip.
It’s hard to get away from Gon;
kaullas—he’s a story §very time. But
about Goss, too, is a halo of hitherto
unrevealed lore.
Goss carries two revolvers especi-
ally made for him by the Colt fac-
tory. They are .45 revolvers. The
barrels and all metal, even the screw
heads, are highly hand-engraved in
intricate design.
Handles are of ivory, with a steer
head on one side and a U. S. agle
and shield emblem on the other. The
steer horns are of gold; the ring in
his nose is gold.
On the metal ridge of the handle,
inlaid in gold, are the words, “Rob-
ert G. Goss, Company A. Texas Ran-
gers.”
The agle’s beak is of gold.
On the butt of the barrel, two Chi-
nese dragons are inlaid in a’old on
either side of each gun, they being
duplicates. The dragon figures are
small, but very complete, so that the
eyes and teeth may be distinguished
by close scrutiny.
The barrels and all metal are high-
ly engraved by hand.
Each pistol cost Goss $250, or $500
for the pair, and if you ever have
the opportunity and want to see some
beautiful representatives of death,
ask either Gonzuallas or Goss to let
you see their two-guns.
It may be that you might see them
without asking—but that *^s hardly
true, for they don’t pull their guns
for bluff.
Those two Rangers are a show
wherever they go, but a real show
when they treat friends with their
stuff, which is on rare occasions.
Once anybody had seen them toy
with guns, twirl them, play with
them, grab them in the twinkling of
an eye for action, they would not
wonder then why good gunmen, bad
gunmen and indifferent gunmen fear
the Rangers.
Both Goss and Gonzuallas can do
more with two guns than the eye can
follow closely. Seems like sleight of
hand work, so fast are they with their
weapons.
But when you hear of Gonguallas,
think of his shadow, Goss. For, in ad-
dition to his own merits, he has a
mighty good man backing him up, as
Rangers go.
Both Gonbuallas and Goss are not-
ed for their dapper style in neatness
—broad sombreros, nicely-fitting
khakipcolored suits, high-reel, well-
polished boots worn beneath the
trousers.
On first sight, they seem like two
well-dressed men. Their high heels
give them away and cause closer
scrutiny. Then their broad-brimmed
hats have a hint of something un-
usual—say, a well-to-do cowboy or
something like that. But the new-
comer would never know they were
Rangers until told.
Many people who have seen them
without knowing them are still heard
to say, “I‘d give anything to see that
man Gonzuallas.”
During the siege of fire at the Sin-
clair Oil Company No. 1 Cole wild
well, a woman drove all the way from
Arkansas to see the blaze. Stopped
by a cordon of guards, she asked
someone who Gonzuallas was. She
was informed that the man she point-
ed out was the famed Ranger.
“Well, that’s all right. I don’t care
if I never see the fire. I’ve been
wanting to, see that man for years.
I’m satisfied now. I can go home in
peace, fire or no fire.”
Such was the way the v/oman con-
soled herself.
It’s a form of hero worship of men
who wear that halo of adulation giv-
en them by those who admire daring.
Gonzuallas and Goss are stationed
in the East Texas oil fields indefi-
nitely—the two best-dressed Rang-
ers on the force, according to repu-
tation.
When the Rangers raid, they raid,
and it’s usualy news—and big news.
THE OAiBE Of CHIME
The Wickersham Commission, it
appears to us, is getting at the real
cause of crime. It says the the trou-
ble is in the court house. That the
court house has made it too easy for
criminals to go free. The Commis-
sion gives two reasons for this. First
that our political system has put too
many weak and inefficient men in
the roll of prosecuting attorneys. It
points out that in many of the larg-
er cities that less than 5 per cent of
the cases where indictments have
been returned never come to trial.
Cases are put off from time to time,
the public loses interest, the witness-
es have died, murdered in many cas-
es, disappeared, run out of the jur-
isdiction of the court often bribed
to absent themselves—reasons after
reason why the charge should be dis-
missed. The average per cent of
cases actually tried to the number
of indictments as shown by investi-
gation in 37 states is found investi-
14 per cent- The Wickersham Com-
mission. believes if active, earnest
prosecutors would demand early
trials that the criminal element
would realize there was real danger
in the court house.
The second reason seen by this
commission for the increase of crime
is the moral laxity of the modern
law. It points out that able lawyers
stand ready to resort to all kinds of
trickery to free criminals they know
to be guilty. Old Ed Howe, the
“Sage of Potato Hill” in a recent
paragraph in his daily syndicated
article has this to say on this sub-
ject:
- “A great lawyer is dangerous to
VegetablelOH\C

what we call society, civilization,
public morals.
“In a town I am familiar with
there is such a man and his perform-
ances are watched and dreaded as
are the performance of President
Hoover in the White House.
“Lately this great lawyer had as
client a woman who shot and killed
her husband. The lawyer was so
clever he proved that the .pistol went
off accidently four times in succes-
sion while the wife was- handing her
husband the weapon. He was start-
ing on a business trip, the great
lawyer dlso; proved, and his loving
wife was urging him to take the pis-
tol for protection.
“In the preliminary examination
before the great lawyer appeared, no
such claim was made; two witnesses,
and the wife herself, admitted there
had been a violent quarrel and vhat
the wife purposely shot him.
“The great lawyer was ‘ able to
control the judge as well as the jury,
and the local papers printed dozens
of letters from indignant citizens de-
nouncing the judge as joining in the
defense with the jurymen. I have
not lately noted more public indig-
nation.”
The Wickersham Commission be-
lieves that an investigation on the
part of local citizens will develop th«
fact that in at least 95 times out of
a hundred more than 75 per cent of
the cases where 12 men on a grand
jury have declared there was- suffi-
cient evidence of guilt to warrant a
trial. One man nullifies the work of
twelve. The chance for dismissal
and the knowledge that if forced to
trial that a lawyer (often the lead-
ing one at the bar) can be employed
to beat the case by trickery, subor-
nation of testimony and technicalit-
ies has convinced the confirmed crim-
inal that there isn’t much danger in
the court house. Hence the reign of
crime.—Marshall News.
