of her sleeping daughter, with gasoline,
she is said to have set fire to her home
Sunday night. An eight year old daugh-
ter escaped to spread the alarm but
when the two victims of the tragedy
were carried from the blazing home, thev
were burned beyond hope of recovery
and death mercifully ended their suffer-
ing within a few minutes.
• The beginning of her trouble was
kindness.

Cuero assumed the role of a typical “blue law"
Monday night and Tuesday, but for the fact that residents did
not attend church. Everyone stayed home.. The mo
picture theatre reported the lightest run Monday night
months, a tent show which reached town Sunday did not ev
go to the trouble of erecting tents and special evangell
services at the Presbyterian church were called off.* It i
all on account of the rain, four inches of which fell between
the hours of two o’clock Monday afternoon and 7 o’cloek
Tuesday morning. The precipitation for the 24 hours end-
ing at 1 o’clock this moving was 4.08 inches, Henry Fro-
bese, local weather observer, announced, although it is be-
lieved that the continued rain of today would bring the total
much higher by Wednesday morning. Services at the Pres-
byterian church were called off Monday night and Tuesday
morning and Dr. W. A. McLeod, pastor,, said no services
would be held tonight if the rain continues to fall.

It is said that a line up nf seasoned

who have played in State league teams

The Missing Word
Last Week Was “Main”
AL THOUGH every town has its own Main
Street and every Record reader knows three-
fourths of the business houses in Cuero are lo-
cated on this one thoroughfare, many failed to
find the correct missing word last week. The
Missing Word was “Main” and it should have
appeared in the advertisement of the Gohmert
Hat Shop between the words “West” and
“street.”
Interest is still running high in the F^cord’s
Missing Word Contest. The third page last
7 uesday brought in even more answers than
the first two weeks. The fourth page appears
today and there are ten in all.
Many families are having 30 minutes or more
of fun each Tuesday evening in finding the
missing word that week. It’s just like putting
a puzzle together and numbers of readers say
it is lots of fun. -
Fifty dollars in gold are offered Record read-
ers who find the most correct missing words
during the campaign. The first prize is $25,
the second $10, third, $5 and there are ten
prizes of $1 each. Only one word is omitted
each week.
