Amendments to Be
Discussed on Air
By Gerald Mann
The following letter, received this
week by J. D. Hoard from S. D.
Turner, State game warden, may be
of interest to Sun readers:
“Your letter just received in re-
gard to seining in Choctaw Creek. It
is a violation of the law to use any
net or seine in any of the creeks,
lakes, overflow or streams in Gray-
son County. If you know of any
place on the creek at any time that
is drying up, I will be more than
glad to move the fish to fresh water.
The only seine that can be used is a
20-foot minnow seine to catch bait
only to fish with.” 7

ADMITS HE’S MEANEST
MAN ON EARTH; JUDGE
AGREES; IS FINED $50
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—The judge
agreed with Ernest Langston, 21, of
Topeka, Kan., when he said, “I de-
serve to be punished, I’m the mean-
est man on earth.”
Langston was charged with steal-
ing $8 from a cousin who had taken
him into her home and given him
food when he was at the point of col-
lapse;
Police Judge Holland fined Lang-
ston $50.
RAPID CITY, S. D.—George Rue,
a transient, missed death literally by
a hair when a wheel of a locomotive
pinned his hair to the track here.
Rue was sleeping on the right of
way of the Rapid City, Black Hills &
Western so near the rail his hair was
across it. The engineer was unable
to stop the train before the engine
reached him. It was necessary to
move the engine to free the sleeper.
Rue continued his slumbers under
a nearby tree.
SHERMAN. — Complaints charg-
ing assault to murder were filed
Monday in the court of C. W. Bat-
sell, Justice of the Peace, against Joe
and Marsh Miller and Carl Burns, all
of Tioga. The complaints were
sworn out by Deputy Sheriff Collier
Yuery. The men allegedly attacked
Luther Epperson Saturday night in
the backyard of his home north of
San Benito, Texas, Tioga.

BRYAN.—Affidavit forms, which
ginners may fill out and file in a
United States district court if they
desire to be excluded from an in-
junction granted by Judge Randolph
Bryant July 19 restraining internal
revenue officers from collecting the
ginners’ tax under the Bankhead act,
are being mailed by the Texas Agri-
cultural Association.
Directors of the association said
the affidavit forms, drafted by
Stuard S. Barron, Bryan attorney
and former speaker of the Texas
House of Representatives, were be-
ing sent to chairmen of county cot-
ton committees.
The plan is for the chairman to
call a meeting of ginners in each
county, in an effort to have them
file the affidavits.
The affidavit sets out that the gin-
ner signing it was not a party to the
suit filed by D. C. Wallace et al
against W. A. Thomas, collector of
internal revenue for the Northern
district of Texas et al, and did not
authorize Wallace or any other per-
son to act in the matter. It further
says that the ginner filing it did not
seek the relief granted by Judge
Bryant, or any other benefits that
might result from the suit, and de-
sires to operate his gin in compliance
with the act.

HOUSTON.—District Judge Whit
Boyd Monday instructed the August
term grand jury here to do nothing
about liquor law violations until aft-
er the voters pass on the question of
repeal of prohibition Aug. 24.
Signed communications accept-
able for publication will be pub-
lished under this heading.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — Garland
Hudson, 21-year-old pitcher for the
Kansas City, Mo., All-Americans, was
a hero last night—but not because he
struck out any Caseys in the ninth.
He felled a large dog, apparently
mad, which snapped viciously at fans,
then dashed onto the field, its mouth
dripping foam. As the dog neared
first base, Hudson let go a fast ball
which struck the animal in the head.
It dropped, and was carried from the
field. Fans said it was dead.
SHERMAN. —• July cas<^ records
show 2,094 relief cases on file dur-
ing the month and 1,210 men and
women employed on various relief
projects in the county, according to
Mrs. Grandis King, county case
supervisor. These figures were em-
bodied in the monthly report of the
Dallas relief headquarters.
A decrease of almost one-half has
been made in relief cases since the
February peak, Mrs. King said.
February, 3,974 cases were
During the past month 335
were closed.
The report shows that there are
281 employable women on relief in
the county. Of this number, 134
were used in the canning and sewing
room at Denison and Sherman. No
employment was found for the re-
mainder. During the same period 1,-
075 men were employed on various
county projects. The exact number
of employable men in the county is
undetermined, Mrs. King said, al-
though a check is now being made
for the county NRS office.
During August the adult educa-
tional program will be discontinued
and the 53 teachers directing this
work will attend a short course at the
Denton Teachers’ College. This
course is designed for FERA teach-
ers and is to be attended by all such
instructors in this district. Work
will be resumed in September.
The adult educational program
consists of classes in sewing, music,
commercial work, home hygiene,
nursing and classes for illiterates.
Cloy Horton, who operated the
Palace theatre eight months in 1933
and 19<U, has leased the theatre
from W. M. Brannon, who has oper-
ated the theatre for the past year and
a half. Mr., Horton was in Dallas
Monday booking pictures, and an-
anifounces that he has contracted for
some of the best pictures to be had.
Mr. Horton built up a good pat-
ronage during the time he operated
the show by showing good pictures
and giving the movie fans good serv-
ice. He expects to give Whitewright
as good picture show as he did when
he had it under lease more than a
year ago.
Organization of the Whitewright
Community League was perfected at
a mass meeting held Tuesday night in
the city hall and attended by 40 bus-
iness men, farmers and others.
Groundwork for organization of the-
body was laid at a meeting held
Tuesday night of last week.
Officers elected were W. E. LaRoe,
president; C. J. Meador, vice-presi-
dent; F. M. Echols, secretary-treas-
urer. The following directors were
elected: C. B. Bryant Jr., chairman;
R. T. Pennnigton, John L. Reeves,
Gomer May, Dr. Frank D. Layman,
and Charley Ayres.
A finance committee composed of
C. B. Bryant Jr., T. M. Johnson, G.
C. Stuteville and Gomer May, and a
committee on by-laws, composed of
F. M. Echols J. H, Waggoner, John
L. Reeves and Guy Hamilton, were
named. The president stated that
other committees would be an-
nounced at the next general meeting
of the whole organization, to be held
Tuesday evening, August 20th, the
third Tuesday of each month being
also selected as the regular monthly
meeting dates of the League. A
committee on highways, set up at a
previous meeting of citizens, was ac-
cepted as a working branch of the
new organization. The board of di-
rectors will meet on call of the pres-
ident.
Several matters of interest to the
Whitewright community were dis-
cussed, and suggestion made that
every member be prepared to say at
the next meeting what he thinks
Whitewright and community needs
in line with the work of the new com-
munity organization. Meetings will
be held at the city hall
where comfortable chairs,
tilation, lights, fans and
will be available.
SHERMAN.—Rural and transpor-
tation aid laws were explained to the
Grayson County school board Satur-
day afternoon by Everett Shepherd,
State district deputy. The board
heard petitions requesting bus routes.
An extension from the concrete
highway to the Allman store was
granted the West Bells route on re-
quest of W. M. Moulton, principal.
The board deferred action on a
request of 24 petitioners expressing
willingness to transfer pupils from
the Elm View school district No. 30
to Gunter and Dorchester during the
1935-36 school year.
Trustees of the Prairie View school
entered a protest to the transfer of
pupils either to District 117 or to
Lovejoy, and gave notice of intent to
appeal to the State board of educa-
tion if the county superintendent’s
ruling is adverse. These trustees
claimed that the transfers out of
this district are not wholly voluntary,
but are solicited by nearby schools to
the detriment of the district.
The Whitesboro bus line through
Ethel, Lovejoy and Range Creek was
discussed. Mr. Shepherd advised that
the old trustees of Buck Creek dis-
trict had a right to hire Mrs. Edna
Dunn. Howe and Tom Bean routes
through Celtic were discussed.
A. E. Boyd, superintendent
Whitesboro, requested a
through Sadler and Basin
Pleasant Home was given
grade rating.
Miss Dorothy
Hamilton was elec-
ted Monday at a
special meeting of
the Whitewright
Board of Educa-
tion to fill a vacan-
cy on the Gram-
gram School fac-
ulty caused by the
resignation of Miss
Clyde Montgom-
ery. Miss Hamil-
ton, daughter’ of
Mr. and Mrs. Guy
Hamilton, is a product of the local
schools and a 1935 graduate of Tex-
as State College for Women (CIA),
Denton, where she received the bach-
elor of arts degree with high honors.
Miss Montgomey was forced to re-
sign her position because of ill
health, after only one year of service
with the local school.
Beginning Saturday evening, Aug.
10, Secretary of State Gerald C.
Mann will discuss the proposed con-
stitutional amendments to be voted_.
on Aug. 24 over the Southwestern
Broadcasting Company network, in-
cluding Stations WRR, Dallas;
KTAT, Fort Worth; WACO, Waco;
KNOW, Austin, and KTSA, San An-
tonio.
The dates for the three discussions
are Saturday, Aug. 10; Thursday,
Aug. 15, and Saturday, Aug. 17. The
time will be from 9:30 p. m. to 10 p.
m.
Two amendments will be taken up
each evening except the last, when
three amendments will be discussed;
The discussions will be impartial
and informative, Mr. Mann said in
announcing the broadcast.
SHERMAN. — One hundred
forty-four women were enrolled at
the second annual Grayson County
Home Demonstration Club encamp-
ment Monday and Tuesday at Wood-
lake, Miss Mamie Hines, county home
demonstration agent, said Wednes-
day. The opening address was de-
livered by G. L. Gentry of Denison.
Mayor H. G. Tuck of Sherman also
spoke. Mrs. Lester Haile of White-
wright gave an illustrated lecture on
the budding of roses.
county, B. F. Gray, county
said after a check Monday.
Fields of Luther Ladd and Luther
Knox, south of Sherman, are badly
infested with the worms.
As the crop is late and the spread
of the pests earlier than usual this
year, there is greater danger of se-
vere crop damage, Mr. Gray said.
The leafworms are attacking cotton
plants more in low fields where
foliage is tender, he said. Signs of
the worms’ assault are holes in the
cotton leaf.
Unless spread of the leafworm is
checked, a considerable loss of cot-
ton will result, he predicted.
J. R. Handy of Denison with farm
lands in the Delaware Bend commu-
nity, advised Mr. Gray of a proposi-
tion from a Mississippi aviator to
dust cotton by plane and furnish the
poison for 35c an acre, but requires
the land be in blocks.
Poison recommended by Mr. Gray
to kill the worms is calcium arsenate
which will not only eradicate the
leafworms but boll weevils as well.
Use five pounds of arsenate to the
acre for dusting. The dust may be
spread with a number of mechanical
devices or in a flour sack. Some
farmers tie flour sacks to a pole and
ride astride a mule down the cotton
row, the jostling of the animal shift-
ing the dust from the sack. Dusting
should be done between 4 and 8 a. m.
while the plant is wet with dew.
If spraying mix 3 pounds of arse-
nate to 50 gallons of water, make
into a paste and then strain through
cheese cloth.
The Sun:
In flaring headlines in this Na-
tion’s newspapers today, “Gold flee-
ing from Belgium.” In the latter
part of the Hoover Regime in 1932
many foreign newspapers in glaring
headlines, “Gold fleeing from U. S.”
In one of the Nation’s strongest
army posts, about 30 miles from
Louisville, Ky., this Government is
having constructed one of the strong-
est money vaults ever constructed by
man. The Nation’s billions of gold to
be transferred from the Treasury
vaults for safekeeping. The silver
billions to follow until the value of
silver bullion will equal one-fourth
that of gold. These billions of gold
and silver to be kept in this strong
vault and guarded night and day by
the strong arm of the U. S. army.
Currency will be the circulating
medium or money of the Nation and
will find its way into the channels of
trade and commerce as the business
of the Nation requires.
This is one of the soundest money
policies ever adopted by this or any
other nation and deals a death blow
to the critics of the Roosevelt money
policy. No more blazing headlines in
foreign newspapers proclaiming to
the world, “Gold fleeing from United
States.”
Three cheers for our President,
Congress and the gool old U. S. A.!
SAM DOSS,
A free entertainment is to be
staged at 7:30 o’clock Saturday night
on Bond street, south of the Ayres
store. A contest for amateux- enter-
tainers of the Whitewright communi-
ty will be held, with cash prizes go-
ing to the participants who render
the best performances. The event is
bbing sponsored by local merchants.
An amplification system will
used in order that everybody
hear as well as see the performers.
An effort will be made to present as
varied a program as possible, consist-
ing of musical selections, songs,
dances, and novelty numbers, it was
stated by Guy Yowell who is develop-
ing the entertainment.
Anyone who can furnish any sort
of entertainment and wishes to en-
ter the contest may communicate
with Mr. Yowell or R. R. Waldo as
soon as possible, as applications will
be considered in the order received.
Mr. Yowell urges anyone who can
sing, dance or play any kind of in-
strument, from jews-harp to piano, to
entex- the contest, have some fun, and
perhaps win a prize.
It is planned to make the enter-
tainment a permanent Saturday af-
fair if sufficient interest is mani-
fested, Mr. Yowell said.
Finis Alverson, well known White-
wright farmer, is booking orders for
seed corn for the 1936 crop; He has
christened it Texas Centennial corn.
Kirk Brown, northeast of town, has
placed a big order with Mr. Alverson
and expects to plant all the land he
can in corn next year.
Texas Centennial corn produces
four pints of dry gin to the hill in
addition to two large ears of corn to
each stalk. While Mr. Alverson was
chopping weeds in his corn field last
week, he noticed one stalk with the
top broken off and the eai’ from the
stalk lying on the ground. Close in-
vestigation showed that the ground
around the root of the stalk was
higher than around other stalks. Mr.
Alverson began to work in the loose
dirt with his hoe and uncovered a
pint of gin. This caused his enthu-
siasm to grow and he began to move
dirt with the speed of a steam shovel.
He soon uncovered three more pints
■of dry gin. This was all Mr. Alverson
needed for that day, and he quit
digging for fear he would get too
hot. When he arrived home with four
bottles of gin in his arms, Mrs. Al-
verson wanted to know what kind of
business he was engaged in, and he
had a hard time explaining to her
that his coin was producing four
pints of gin to the hill. The bottles
contained Federal stamps and the
labels across the corks had nevei’ been
broken. This has helped to add to
the popularity of the corn, as partic-
ulai’ drinkers want the bottles prop-
erly stamped by Uncle Sam.
If Mr. Alverson can convince his
friends that the corn will produce
four pints or dry gin to each hill, he
has a fortune in the making. Kirk
Brown said he’d pay $50.00 a bushel
for seed corn that will produce one
pint of gin to the hill.
This is the second time Mr. Alver-
son has found liquor in his field, lo-
cated east of highway 160 just south
of town. A numbei- of persons have
offered to help Mr. Alverson hoe the
corn, and they are willing to work
free of charge if Mr. Alverson will
give them all the dry gin they find,
but he has refused all such offers.
Mr. Alverson is a deacon in the
Baptist Church. If he keeps finding
*‘fire water” in his field he may be
called upon to explain all he knows
about it. Oux- advice to him is to
keep on the good side of his pastor.
SHERMAN.—Mailing of absentee
ballots for the Aug. 24 election was
under way Wednesday at the office
of C. M. Cole, county clerk,.but ab-
sentee voting in person will not start
until Friday.
Mr. Cole said he is not yet certain
if an office for absentee balloting
will be opened in Denison this year.
Qualified electors can cast ab-
sentee ballots before leaving, or if
they are away already, then can vote
by sending to Mr. Cole their applica-
tions and otherwise complying with
the law..
Mr. Cole said he did not construe
the new law defining permissible ab-
sences as barring from absentee vot-
ing persons who are away on vaca-
tion trips. He said any voter, other-
wise qualified, may vote absentee in
Grayson County irrespective of
whether he is away on business or
pleasure.
WASHINGTON. — A huge area,
nearly the size of the State of Kan-
sas, was disclosed Tuesday by a Fed-
eral survey to have been laid waste
by past dust storms and more con-
stant water erosion.
The results of a reconnaisance
survey of 1,903,176,620 acres, com-
pleted but not yet published by the
Soil Conservation Service, classified
51,465,097 acres as essentially de-
stroyed by wind or watei’ erosion in
so far as having further use for crop
production. Most of this acreage, of-
ficials said, had been cultivated and
was at one time good soil.
Emphasizing the seriousness of the
problem, Morris L. Cooke, rural elec-
trification administrator, said that if
things go on as they are now in fifty
years “we will have a total area of
really fertile lands not much more
than three times the size of Nebras-
ka.”
“Only 100 Years to Go.”
Cooke, speaking before the Na-
tional Institute of Public Affairs at
the American University, described
soil erosion as an armed foe.
“As matters now stand and unless
there is a marked change in our pres-
ent methods of agriculture,” he said,
“we have as a Nation less than 100
years to go.
“As a Nation, we are in the posi-
tion of an individual far gone in such
a disease as tuberculosis or cancer.
We cannot wait.”
Meanwhile, Rexford G. Tugwell’s
resettlement administration mapped
plans for close co-ordination with the
Soil Conservation Service in retiring
and developing submarginal lands. It
was indicated that the resettlement
administration would purchase much
of its submarginal land from areas
designated in the conservation serv-
ice survey.
The survey is reported to have
touched every county in the Nation.
ROCKWALL. — One resident of
this county has discovered a new way
to sidestep the high cost of artificial
teething. Following the extraction
of his teeth and the consequent dif-
ficulty in eating a laboring man’s
diet, a fellow workmen volunteered
to whittle him a set of molars. So
successful was the workmanship that
the recipient of this unusual gift has
abandoned his plan of securing den-
tal plates. They may not look so
well, but they do the work, he states.
The material used was a soft wood
that lends itself readily to the
whittier’s knife.
Bettye Nell Yeager, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Yeagei’ of White-
wright, will compete in the final
amateur contest at Cherry Street
Park, Sherman, at 8 p. m. tonight.
Other contestants are Juniox* Can-
naday of Tom Bean, Miss Mary Bar-
bee of Gunter, Reba Mae Cox of
Collinsville and Anna Jane Davis of
Dorchester.
Printed ballots will be passed out
in the crowd, to be signed and mailed
to the Retail Merchants Association,
Sherman, not later than Aug. 16. At
previous contests votes have been
cast at the park but the system is be-
ing changed to allow more persons
to vote.
Winner of the contest will
awarded football sweaters for
high school team of her town,
Whitewright people can aid in win-
ning the contest for Bettye Nell by
attending the program tonight
(Thursday) and voting for her.
A band concert will be given in
connection with the contest. There
will be no admission charge.
WASHINGTON. — A Republican
victory in Rhode Island in the year’s
initial congressional election elated
GJ O. P. leaders Wednesday, while
most Democrats scoffed at conten-
tions that it indicated a national
trend against the new deal.
But Senatox* Walsh (Dem.), Mas-
sachusetts, bluntly attributed his
party’s defeat to uneconomic policies
of the administration, and Senator
Smith (Dem.), South Carolina, said:
“It is indicative of a determination
to go to the right.”
President Roosevelt refused com-
ment, saying he had not known about
the election until he read about it in
the newspapers.
The executive also declined to
comment on Rhode Island’s rejection
of a $12,000,000 public works bond
issue sponsored by its Democratic
Governor, Theodore F. Green. Only
one item, $3,000,000 for unemploy-
ment relief, apparently survived.
Republicans interpreted the result as
a reaction to huge Government ex-
penditures.
Senatoi’ Gerry (Dem.), Rhode Is-
land, explaining why Charles R. Risk
was able to obtain 48,023 votes in his
State’s first congressional district
against 35,054 for Antonio Prince,
the Democratic candidate, said: “The
processing tax came into it and, I
think, the death sentence and this so-
called revenue bill, which is very de-
structive.”
SHERMAN. — A relief fund of
only $17,000 must provide wages for
2,100 project workers and unem-
ployable indigent families of Gray-
son County during August.
A total of $22,000 was allocated
by the State relief bureau for the
month, but $5,000 was applied on the
last fiscal week of July which ended
Aug. 3.
Work on WPA employment proj-
ects will likely get under way by
Aug. 15, it was announced Wednes-
day at relief headquarters.
The restricted sum allowed
August contrasts sharply with
$117,000 provided by the State
Federal government to aid distressed
in February, 1935, when 4,000 fam-
ilies were on relief in the county.
Reduction of relief rolls is due in
part to upward swing in private em-
ployment and to abundance of food
supplies during the harvest season
of spring and summer. Winter’s cold
usually increases the number of
needy.
From 400 to 500 bread winners of
families on relief will be classed as
unemployables and turned over to
the county or cities in which they re-
side for aid as soon as the WPA pro-
gram absorbs all indigents eligible
and able to work.
Gribble Heads Relief
A. M. Braswell, district adminis-
trator for the Texas Relief Commis-
sion, has named A. T. Gribble to suc-
ceed Marion Wilson as acting relief
administrator of the county.
Wilson, who has held the
since April, 1934, resigned to accept
a position as certifying officer with
the Grayson bureau of the Texas
Rural Communities division of the
Federal resettlement department.
With headquarters in Sherman, the
bureau’s function will be to rehabili-
tate families on farms. Mr. Wilson
took over his new post late Tuesday.
Relief offices will be withdrawn
from Grayson County within two ox*
three weeks and centered at the dis-
trict office in Greenville, a move of
the State relief commission to curtail
administrative expense. /
Only four or five case workers will
be retained in the county to obtain
histories of the 400 to 500 unemploy-
able families that will remain for a
time on direct Federal relief, Mr.
Wilson said.
