Belgrade, Jugo-Slavia. Sept
16 (UP)—Old Russian trea-
sure to the amount of more
than $9,000,000 was disclosed
to be resting in the safe of a
Belgrade bank. Two gloups
of Russian emigrants seeking
its possession have brought
court actions.
The treasure consists of
diamonds, jewelry, and secur-
ities which belonged to the St.
Petersburg Mortgage bank
and were carried to the
Grimes at the time of the re-
volution.
After the collapse of the
White army, General Wrangel
nominated a committee to
guard the treasure which was
brought here and placed in a
rented safe.
Recently a group of Rus-
sian refugees sought liquida-
tion of the remaining assets
of the old bank to establish a
new one abroad but the sur-
viving committee members
have refused to deliver the
treasure on the plea that they
were never recognized by
Grand Duke Nicholas.

Remodel Your Home
for Winter Now
This month, with the beginning of fall, is the
time for house repairs and remodeling. If you
have your doors and windows checked for draft
leaks and foundations mended and insulated, your
house will be comforta-
bly warm when Winter
winds begin to blow and
you’ll save money on
your fuel bill.
And if you’ve enjoy-
ed a sunny porch this
Summer, why not en-
close it for the Winter?
Let us consult with you
on plans and estimates.
Today’s mail brings a letter written by Lynch David-
son, many times a candidate for the Governship and once
a Lieutenant-Governor, which carries a thinly veiled bit of
vanity smacking of the approach of another political cam-
paign.
The missive deals with the ills of the penitentiary sys-
tem and is headed “Prescription For The Care of The Pen-
itentiary Bls” by Lynch Davidson. It points out the fact
that away back in 1921 the writer advocated prison reforms
which Would have, by this time, solved the great economic,
social and moral question with our state prisons.
Lynch Davidson is probably getting ready to throw his
battered campaign hat into the ring again. If he is, it is
hard to believe that he is not sufficiently conversant with
the eccentricities of politics to have found out by this time
that the people of Texas do not Want him for their Gover-
nor.
No doubt Lynch Davidson is a well meaning man . . .he
is a successful lumberman . . . and his integrity is unquest-
ionable . . . but somewhere in his make-up a hankering for
the biggest office in Texas has constantly prodded him to
sacrifice his prestige and accept overwhelming defeat re-
peatedly at the hands of the voters of Texas.
Wo do not want to see a worn-out job-hunter seek the
Governor’s office anymore than we want to see a lumber
tycoon, oil tycoon, jor any other of the breed of corporation
magnates. There are men in Texas who are constituted
with the right kind of ideals and ambitions to give their
talents to the state they love and who are unmindful of the
octopuses whose greed of power and whose lust to control
have waylaid hundreds of men, who might have proved
Good Samaritans to our state rather than pests, as they
walked down the political highway.
Lynch Davidson seeks to pose as the great physician
Longview, Texas, Sept. 16
(Special ) — The Longview
fair will be officially opened
at 11 o’clock Tuesday morn-
ing following the breaking up
of the American Legion par-
ade which is scheduled to
start at 10 o’clock. Oliver
Daniel, president, and L. A.
Sessums, secretary, are con-
fident that the fair will be a
success.
All exhibit spaces have
been reserved. Agricultural
displays of white people and
negroes, will be unusually
good this year, it has been as-
sured. and the judges will
probably find it difficult t o
select winners. A live stock
exhibit, in which every sec-
tion of the county will be rep-
resented, will be another fea-
ture of the fair. Virtuallv
all Longview automobile deal-
ers will have cars on display.
The H. B. Pool shows will fur-
nish the amusements.
Tuesday has been design-
ated as Marshall and Harri-
son county day.
It is expected that at least
20,000 will attend the fair the
first day. Marshall is expect-
ed to send a large delegation
here Tuesday night. Visitors
will give a short program fol-
lowing the presentation of the
coipmunity pageant.
One of the high lights of
+he opening day will be an ad-
dress by John Stanford, edi-
tor of the Southern Agricul-
turists. He will speak at
3:30 o’clock in the afternoon.
All city and county schools
will be represented in the pa-
rade which is expected to be
more than a mile long.

proverbial axiom that ever confronts the cornered criminal:
“The way of the transgressor is hard.”
Three stores they swindled in Center; eight more fell
victims in San Augustine, and three had felt their dis-
honesty in Lufkin when they fell, as all, who prey upon
society do eventually fall.
But, alas, they were only fined one hundred and ten
dollars and then turned Ibose to again assume the role of
piratical vultures and roam over the country practicing
their foul dishonesty upon unsuspecting merchants. It is
little Wonder that marly Americans have little respect for
the law. In England these criminals would be in “Old
Bailey” by now, with society rid of their presence for many
years to come.

Lynch is a Quack Doctor in the eyes of the voters of Texas
... he is lined up with finance and power and, though a good
tnan and deserving rr(an in many respects, his connections
are too imperialistic to merit the confidence of Texas
voters.
Lynch would do well to forget the gubernatorial chair.
He is wealthy, respected, at the very top of his profession,
he should want no more. At any rate, his prescriptions
carry no weight today—he’s truly a quack doctor.

THAT it is sensible econ-

THAT advertisements
bring information to you that

money.
THAT the business con-
cerns that serve you best are
the ones who continubusly tell
you through the printed page
who they are, where they are

you.
THAT continuous advertis-

your every want; they al-
ways offer you seasonable
merchandise reasonably pric-

THAT local dealers always
serve you best because they
know local conditions and
needs much better than any
firm in a distant city could
know.
THAT you can get what
you want and see what you

dealers.
THAT there is no long wait
and no transportation charges
to pay when you buy from
home dealers.
Home dealers will serve
you quickly with the best that

It always has been and al-

The Return of the Corset Pro-
vides an Endless Con-
ventional Theme.
(By FRANCES PAGET)
Copyright, 1929, by Style Sources
New York, Sept. 16 (UP)
—[With corsets supplying a
theme for animated argu-
ments and agitated thought,
.i
some of the blessings in store
for the new season, as for
instance the wealth of color
which we offered and the en-
couragement to choose black
if if suits either our pockets
or our complexions. True
the molded hipfine and the
molded waistline are a su-
preme factor in the slihouette
of this season. It is this fit-
ted theme which has changed
the outline of coats and furs,
and which has much to do
with posing the waistline x , ...
higher or at onripal, while the by which some individuals
accent on low placed fulness
is related to the draw-in line
at center, but color is also an
important factor.
While a great many stun-
ning black costumes—usually
trimmed in white — were"
shown in French collections,

like talons of the police. Through their minds flashed the clined’tOvZd’btack^OT street
and afternoon wear. The
feeling among style authori-
ties in our own fashion cent-
ers is that color will have a
more general appeal. Rich
dahlia shades and reds seem
foremost in most minds, with
fir tree, greens and warm
browns runners up.
Brown is one of the most
talked of colors for fall, land
