the machine while the family listened from the porch. Where a
family had no radio they only had to raise a window, they could
hear nothing else. It would be hard to say how many of the
millions of listeners to the broadcast from Madison Square
Garden were really interested in who won or approve or disap-
prove of “fights", but some way or other we draw the conclusion
that this particular fight had universal appeal and that news-
paper publicity was as much responsible for thia as the radio.
EVERYBODY LISTENED IN
Listening to the opening announcements and the first few
seconds of the Baer-Carnera fight Thursday night at home we
walked eight blocks, seven blocks being down a thickly populat-
ed street of modest homes, and we could hear the fight from
one end of the street to the other, thanks to radio. In some of
the homes, dad was • at the controls, or was shifting from loud
to medium and back again and in some mother was sitting by

THERE ARE LAWS AGAINST TRESPASSING '
We wonder just where folks get the- nerve to drive out in
the country and hunt a nice plum thicket and help themselves
Without ascertaining who they belong to or so much as asking
permission.' If the same folks saw a woman and children drive
up in front of her house and unload and start picking flowers
from her yard or “make.camp" for a day’s outing they would
fraise an awful howl. The principle is the same. There are some
large ranches in this section of the state, on which are located
choice plum thickets, wild grapes or pecans, but they are posted
and are' generally pat^pled to keep out trespassers. It 'is the
small farmed or ranch owner or manager who suffers most
from depredations of the thoughtless or “lawless." Stripping
thickets,- ^stealing watermelons and destroying the green
melons and vines, stealing fruit from an orchard or stealing
chickens may pass as a joke in some circles, but turn tables on
the poachers and they fail to see them as being funny or even
smart. There are laws against trespassing, as well as laws
against chicken theft.- • •

WE WILL “SCRATCH” BAKER-TERRELL
If there is any pne candidate whom we will take great
pleasure in “scratching" in the Democratic primary it will’be.
the pseudo George B. Terrell, nee Jefferson T. Baker. The man
who appeared in May before a Dallas district court with a peti-
tion to have his name, Jefferson Tt .Baker, changed to George B.
Terrell, “for business reasons." We have not learned what busi-
ness he was in nor how much the change of name affected it,
but we have been told that his name will appear on the ballot
in the Democratic primary, his announcement for office of State
Treasurer, having been made coincident with the change of
name and following close on the heels of word that Congressman
George B. Terrell would not be a candidate for re-election.
There have been Terrells in office at Austin and in Washington
for many decades. All pretty decent fellows. The name is said
to be considered lucky in political campaigning. Mr. Baker may
have just grown tired of being Baker or he may have some
legitimate claim to the surname of Terrell. He may have heard
of the success of the school-teacher, Will Rogers, who was elect-
ed to Congress in Oklahoma and whose only claim to popularity
was said to have been based on that of the famous humorist. We
hope the Terrells will^not feel hurt if we make a big black mark
across George Bls name. And if the judge who allowed the
change of name, on no more legitimate excuse than that given
the press, is running for office we would black his name on gen-
eral principles.
P. S. It is our opinion that
