A total of 1,533,180 gallons of wat-
er pumped from the municipal wells
Thursday was thought by city offi-
cials to constitute a new record
days consumption Friday. It wsa
the third time in the past seven-
day period that the demand rose
over the 1,500,000-gallon mark.
Though no lengthy check was
made Friday over the records of
past records, officials said thejy
could not recall a 24-hour pumping
of that figure.
That record itself is expected to
be shattered many times before the
summer is over, A drouth, plus the
30 per cent reduction on water
bills paid by the 10th of each,
month due as a centennial sum-
mer feature, would join hands to
rush the daily consumption over
the present high mark, officials
predict.
At the municipal power plant,
the records Friday showed the fol-
lowing pumpings for the past sev-
en days; Friday, ,211,540 gallons;
Saturday, 1,280,140 gallons; Sunday
1,286,200 gallons; Monday 1,518,340
(gallons; Tuesday, 1,528,520 gallons;
Wednesday 1,307,360 gallons; Thurs-
day 1,533,180 gallons.

CHICAGO, June 19.—0?)—Wheat
prices today soared 4 3-4 cents a
bushel, within 1-4 of the limit per-
mitted in one session, in a bull
market inspired by sensational re-
ports of crop losses in drought
regions.
September wheat reached 93 1-8
cents a bushel just before the
market closed and other deliveries
here as well as in other major
North American markets rose
sharply in sympathy. Wheat, corn,
oats and rye future sold at the
(highest prices fo the season on
Chicago Board of Trade.
Two street services will be con-
ducted by Rev. M. E. Edmundson,

Prospects for
Crops Declining
WASHINGTON, June 9.—(TP)—A
special statement by the Federal
crop reported board, containing no
actual estimates, said today that
prospects for spring grains and hay
crops declined during the first
half Of June.
The statement did not mention
specifically the spring wheat crop
and it included no figures dealing
with estimated production.
“Crops are in critical condition,”
the board said, “in Western North
and South Dakota and in Eastern
Montana. In northeastern Wyom-
ing, crops have had only partial
.(relief.
RUSSELL, Kas., June 19.—(A>)—
The death toll from an oil well ex-
plosion near here

Edward Wright of
PARIS, June 19.—(TP)—Bellows of
defiance greeted a dissolution or-
der against armed rightists leagues
today as lawmakers completed ac-
tion on France’s labor reform pro-
gram.
Chieftains of four’ armed leagues
refused to accept an official com-
mand to disband their organiza-
tions—the Croix de Feu (Fiery
Cross), the League for French Sol-
idarity, the Young Patriots, and the
Francistes.
The Senate enacted into law the
last of Premier Leon Blum’s labor
measures, passing the 40-hour week
proposal 182 to 84, after a vigorous
rightist effort to make the reform
contingent upon international ac-
ceptance of shortened hours.
More than 200,000 workers re-
mained on strike but officials said
the “folded arms” movement was
slowly diminishing. Only scatter-
ed instances of violence were re-
ported.
Special service for old
people. And for all who
have been church mem-
bers for 25 years or,
longer.
Sermon:
“The Other Side of Life”
By
Pastor R. R. Yelderman
During the prohibition era many
women became frequenters of
speakeasies and since repeal they
have stoutly maintained that it
was right to step right up to the
bar and order whatever form of
beverage appealed to them at the
moment.
There has been considerable cri-
ticism of this practice, curriously
enough much of it from bartenders.
The husband who1 wrote me the
following letter has more personal
reasons for bemoaning the modern
practice. His wife seems to be one
of those women who abuses her
privileges.
“Dear Mrs. Martin: I cannot get
accustomed to the new wrinkle,
now highly apparent among young-
matrons, of sitting on high stools- in
front of bars. Every time I go out
with my wife in the evening she
thinks it very clever and no doubt
‘smart’ to go into a swanky bar and
drink cocktails. She makes up her
face in the mirror behind the bar
and, like Narcissus, seems to be
carried away with her own reflec-
tion.

Just the other evening she wanted
me to punch some fellow for mak-
ing a fresh remark but I told her
I thought she should be sport
enough to take it since she asked
fod it. If it is all right for women
to sit around bars it is all right for
them to take what goes with it and
if some unidentified male makes a
pass at her she should take it as a
lesson and kee’p out of saloons.
“Afternoons, when my so-called
better half goes downtown on
shopping expeditions with other
young women, they spend too much
time drinking and at 6 o’clock the
telephone rings and I am informed
that she will be late getting home
for dinner.
“What with one thing and an-
other the spouse seems to be carri-
ed away with this custom of drink-
ing like men—standing at the bar.
I think women are as good as men
—as long as they don’t try to imi-
tate them. The women I once met
around the backrooms of saloons
were nothing to boast about but
young hiarried women like my wife
seem to think they can hang around
these places and still, rate the re-
spect of men.
“My wife wants to eat her cake
and still have* it. I have laid down
the law about this business of loaf-
ing in bars and have been called
an old fogey for so doing.
“Nevertheless, some of the gos-
sip I hear from unmarried men
about their adventure's with, women
they meet in cafes has sustained me
in my course. Do you think I am
old-fashioned?.
—“Next to the Last Puritan.”
Suppose you are old-fashioned.
So what? It’s your privilege. Be-
sides which, not to be enthusias-
tic about having your wife a fre-
quenter of bars is not sufficient
cause to warrant your being called
an “old fogey.” Plenty of modern
men -are displeased with the new
feminine pastime of frequenting
bars at the cocktail or any other
hour. It is the prevailing fashion,
in some circles at least, and custom
does make usage or usage custom—
however runs the adage.
I do think though, that women
who insist on standing shoulder to
shoulder with men at the bar
should be considera'te enough of
their position not to expect privi-
leges as well as theii* rights.
There’s a time and place for ev-
erything and the women who mixes
sex with the other ingredients at
the bar is asking for trouble. I am
quite sure that men would not re-
sent her presence if she deported
herself correctly and it’s when she
doesn’t that they don’t—if you get
what I mean. z
I don’t gather that your wife is
the kind you can drive. She may
respond to a gentler and less ob-
vious method.
Don’t be high -handed and at-
tempt to forbid her to do thus and
so. Meet he rat her pet bar, if you
know she is to be there, and head
her homeward.
I don’t think any husband is ex-
pected to wait patiently and un-
complainingly at home for his
dinner while, his wife quaffs cock-
tails on a high stool. That’s a bit
thick and I wouldn’t be the one
who would sit and wait were I in
your place.

Eskridge Begins
Term in Prison
HUNTSVILLE, June 19. — (£>)■—
The year-long trail from the pulpit
of his Baptist Church at Orange to
the old state penitentiary here was.
ended today for the Rev. Edgar
i Eskridge.
Late yesterday the strapping-
preacher, fond of his big hat, boots
I and six guns, heard the four iron
gates that separate Texas convicts
from the outer world close behind
him. Thus he began a five-year
term assessed him for the shotgun
slaying last year of Chief of Police
Ed O’Reilly of Orange.
Divested of his cowboy regalia
and guns, the preacher told prison
authorities he hoped they would
give him a job riding a horse.
Horsemen are used to herd cattle
on the prison system’s lands.
Under prison, routine Eskridge
will be assigned a job within a few
days.
Last year Eskridge was in the
midst of a vigorous pulpit campaign
against vice and crime. He led par-
ties of officers on vice hunts. 'On
May 28, his friend Ed O’Reilly dis-
armed him after the preacher pro-
tested his life had been threaten-
ed.
The next day O’Reilly was shot
down on a street comer. Eskridge
was arrested. His trial was trans-
ferred to Houston. It lasted two 1
weeks and last Saturday a jury re-
turned a verdict of murder without I
malice. The preacher’s counsel |
pleaded he was temporarily insane.
W. T. McDonald of Argyle sus-
tained four fractured ribs Thurs-
day afternoon when he struck a
hay-frame as he jumped from a -
haystack in his fields. His injuries
were x-rayed in the office of a lo-
cal physician Friday.
Billy Fickas of Phoenix, Ariz.,
visiting in the home of his aunt, 1
Mrs. Homer Whayne, 717 North i
Locust Street, is suffering from an
injury to his foot, sustained when
he stepped on a nail, Thursday
morning.
A fire in a steam boiler house of
the Smith Tailoring Co., near
Teachers College, called firemen on 1
a run Friday morning, but they
found the* blaze quenched on ar-
rival. No material damage was done :
by the fire, they reported.
Mrs. J. R. Shaffer of Lewisville 1
underwent a major operation
the Denton Hospital Friday.
Mrs. Paul Maples of Little Elm
underwent a major operation at
the Denton Hospital Thursday af-
ternoon.
