‘ Where Are You Going
To Hang It?”
If you buy a new dress and it
does not come up to your expecta-
tion you can hang it in a closet and
leave it there — BUT, if you get
an unsatisfactory permanent wave
where are you going to hang it? You
can’t even give it to the wash woman.
So why take a chance when it
costs you no more to have a thor-
oughly experienced operator do your
work (with a guarantee behind it.)
Just call 34 for appointment with
Mrs. Tennison, 2nd door south of
telephone office, Cooper, Texas.

THREE KILLED IN
The pastor and his good wife had
spent a very strenuous day packing,
entertaining friends and answering
the phone and doing numerous other
duties incident to moving to a new
charge. After the evening meal was
over and dishes put away, Brother
Lehnhoff, as is his usual custom,
stepped out to visit a sick friend for
a few minutes. Mrs. Lehnhoff set
tied down for a much xieeded rest,
but about 7 o’clock was disturbed by
the door bell. As she was expecting
a friend who had phoned the day be
fore that she was coming on Tues-
day evening at this hour she (Mrs
Lehnhoff) was amazed to see a
throng of smiling friends—men and
women—on her porch. She gave us a
hearty welcome and each one entered
bearing a tissue-covered bundle which
was laid on a table in the living-
room. Bro. Lehnhoff was called home
to “see a man” and came in the back
door to find quite a cx’owd of loving
friends who had come to show in a
feeble way their appreciation of his
and Mrs. Lehnhoff’s services in our
midst. >
Mx’s. Lehnhoff was seated at the
table and opened each bundle and ex-
pressed appreciation, of the thought
back of each gift, though she did not
carry /out one threat, much to our
regret.
After a few minutes spent' in con-
versation' Bro.' Lehnhoff made a
touching talk on their association
here and ended with prayer. Good-
nights and good-byes were said and
we went away feeling very keenly
the loss of Bro. and Mrs. Lehnhoff.
The affair was sponsored by “The
Daughters of Rankin” class of which
Mrs. Lehnhoff has been a faithful
and useful member for three years,
and will be truly missed in all : its
activities. She was the recipient of
many and useful gifts, different
from the usual “storms” that hit the
new pastors. REPORTED.
WEALTHY BANKER
KIDNAPED, IS
HOME AGAIN
Galva, 111., Oct. 29.—Earl Yocum,
wealthy Galva banker, returned home
unharmed today after supposedly be-
ing held for ransom for three, days
by kidnapers. He refused to see call-
ers.
His wife said he had been kidnap-
ed but would not discuss the ransom
or his return.
Galva, 111., Oct. 28.—One little
corner of the veil of mystery that
has shrouded the disappearance of
Earl Yocxirn, wealthy banker, was
lifted today, revealing . the certainty
that he was kidnapped and being held
for ransom.
Mrs. Yocum, who was elected to
try si'ngje-handedly to bring about
her husband’s return, confirmed the
common belief he was seized by ab-
ductors Saturday night and was held
as hostage. The details she kept to
herself.
Weary from the straixx of three
days of wox’king and hoping for her
husband’s safe return, Mrs. Yocum
held steadfastly to her determination
to keep the whole matter to herself,
presumably feax’ing harm to the bank-
er if she did not follow the instruc-
tion^ of the kidnapers.
“The amount of ransom is known
only to myself. I have not and will
not take any other persbn into my
confidence,” she told reporters. “Iam
handling the situation myself the
begt. I know how.
“I do not know when he will be
released, axxd I have nothing to say
regarding any arrangements for his
release.
“I have not said I would pay the
ransom, and I will not say now.”
And there the whole case rested.
County authox’ities who sixspended
their search for tV* bank head yes-
terday, saxd Tc was useless to try to
do anything unless Mrs. Yocum told
them of the contents of the two let-
ters she has received since his disap-
pearance,'supposedly written by hex-
husband at the command of extor-
tionists-.
Yocum disappeared Saturday night
after being accosted by two strang-
ers in front of his estate.

TUESDAY NIGHT
GUN BATTLE
AT CAMERON
Cameron, Texas, Oct. 29.—Special
Officer Dunman, Deputy Sheriff
Pope and Brady, stox-e proprietor,
were killed in a gun fight here to-
day. Deputy Sheriff Robinson was
wounded.
Sheriff Blaylock said he could ad-
vance no motive for the shooting.
Brady shot himself soon after the
shooting when City Marshall Smith
sought to arrest him.
The Girl Scouts were hostesses at
a party for their mothers in the base-
ment of the Presbyterian church on
Tuesday evening, Oct. 28, where the
Hallowe’en ideas were cax-ried out in
decorations and games. The occasion
was not only an annual event for the
girls but another feature of the ob-
servation of the National Girl Scout
Week.
By unique invitations the guests
were invited to arrive at 7 :30 o’clock
and were guided to the exact en-
trance by a jack-o’-lantern placed
near the doox\ Miss Thula Blythe,
Girl Scout captain, met and greeted
them cordially, and after a brief so-
cial houi’, announced the opening
number on the program, which was
largely prepared and rendered by the
girls themselves. A playlette that was
not only entertaining but taught a
very splendid lesson about Fire Pre-
vention proved to be of very great
interest and showed much • talent in
the girls who formed the cast. Games
were heartily entered into by all
present and mothers seemingly be-
came girls again and enjoyed the fun
equally as well as when they were
younger.
Capt. Mitchell, who is always a
very welcome visitor with the girls,
and one whom they appreciate and
realize as their friend, upon request
of the girls, made a very good talk,
commending the work for the girls
and encouraging the cooperation of
the parents.
Refreshments were in keeping with
the season, and were served by mem-
bers of the troop.
Guests present other than the
mothex’s and Scout leaders, wex-e Mr.
and Mrs. Claude McCorkle, Messrs.
Burt Waits axxd Ray Murray, Burton
McCoi’kle and David Ray Murray.
REPORTED.
(Delta Courier)
Ed Moss was held up .and robbed
of $35.00 on the highway north of
Greenville last Thursday night as he
was en route to Cooper to be at the
bedside of his aged mother.
He drove through from the Valley
and stopped in Dallas on business and
decided to drive on here at night in
the rain. After passing thx-ough
Greenville and turning north from
Highway I, two men in a high pow-
ered car crowded him off into the
muddy ditch. They stopped their car
and with drawn pistol took $35.00 in
money from his pockets. They then
turned around and drove back toward
Greenville.
Mx\ Moss could not extricate his
car from the ditch, so walked back
to a filling;'station and called for
help. Hfe had trouble arousing any-
one and then it was a good while be-
fox-e officers came, and there was no
chance to catch the highwaymen.
KEPT WITHIN LAW BUT
GOT HIS SHAFT HOME
A Mount Vernon (N. Y.) lawyer
had lost but one case in a px-actice
extendixxg over 25 years. This par-
ticular case should never have been
lost; the lawyer knew it and was
correspondingly angered at the
judge, whom he blamed for the loss
of the case. Arising from his seat
the lawyer addressed the court:
“Your honor, is it against the law
to think?”
“Of course not,” replied the
judge.
“Is it against the law to tell what
you think?”
“Of coux-se not,” replied the judge.
“You know very well that it is not.”
“Is it against the law to say at
all times and anywhere what you
honestly think, your honor?”
“Now Mr.— --, your experience
teaches you that you can say at all
times and anywhere what you really
think,” said the man on the bench.
“Well, your honor, said the de-
feated lawyer, “I think that the de-
cision just handed down was rot-
ten.”
And he “got by” with it.
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Worsham and
son Tom Frank spent Tuesday in
Dallas. -
