IT IS FAIR AND SQUARE:
The charge of a small fee for1 the right to
vote is fair and square, the charge is based up-
on the idea that if a person doesn’t take at least
a $1.75 interest in voting he would certainly
not be much of a voter.
DALLAS ,Jan. 30.—John H. Moore,
66, a retired farmer living at Italy,
Ellis county, was seriously injured
when his automobile collided with)
the southbound Houston & Texas
Central Sunbeam at Wilmer, Dal-
las county, Monday afternoon.
Moore received a fractured skull,
cuts on the head and a broken
finger on the left hand.
He was on his way home on U. S.
75 (Houston road) from a visit with
his son, Otto . Moore, 4601 Junius,
and was driving alone.
He drove his car into the side
of the tender of the locomotive of
the fast moving train, according to
witnesses. The accident occurred
where the highway crosses the
railroad at the north edge of Wil-
mer.
The car was thrown fifty-six feet
along the right of way to a block
signal tower. Moore was removed
from the wrecked automobile as it
lay on its side. All the glass was
broken, the hood torn off and the
side and front smashed in. The
front license plate was also torn
off. He was taken to Parkland hcs-

How much does his lodge affili-
ations mean to the average Ennis
citizen? Some place them above all
other memberships and devote more
time to their lodges than they do
to anything except their vocations.
Others rank them them below their
church and civic affiliations. A few
may have their names on the role
without ever attending. Regardless
of the significance attached to
lodges by the individual, all should
find food for thought in the follow-
ing paragraph written by a promi-
ment Ennisite and submitted to the
News:
“Do you go to lodge? If so, then
this little bit of an editorial is not
for you. You don’t need anyone to
tell you of the associations, the
degree work, the great thrill to
know that you are ‘all through,’
and can sit back complacently and
watch some other fellow-towns-
man, maybe hitherto a bare speak-
ing acquaintance, go through ‘the
works.’ He no longer will be a mere
acquaintance, for now you can
shake the hand of a friend, feel
the warmth o: his touch that gives
assurance of your common ground
and mutual understanding.
“If you do not go to lodge, surely
you have spent many a lonesome
night in various places, perhaps
your home town, wishing for, need-
ing just such a place as a lodge
to attend. Don’t even say which
lodge, any lodge stands for good,

• A&M College, to rule as King Cot-
ton for their annual cotton ball afid
pageant which will be held .at the
college on April 19.
This affair is one of the social
highlights of the school year and!
the honor of ruling as king is one
of the most sought for jobs on the
campus.
Seay is a senior and cadet cap-
tain of Battery B, field artillery.
He was a squadman basketball play
er for two years but decided to pass
up the sport this season due to
the press of other duties.
Funds derived from the ball are
used to defray expenses of the
three students who win the annual
traveling cotton study fellowship.
In the past the students and one
of, the professors have visited in
Europe, Africa and Asia but this
year they expect to journey to
South America. Winners are se-
lected after a series of examina-
tions on all phases of cotton and

to compete.
week.” As a result, a class that
started with thirteen girls four
years ago has grown to 260 young
men and women.
The class holds a split meeting
at the church every Sunday morn-
ing. Half the time' is given to the
teacher, a heavyset Irishman named i
R. B. Galloway, generally known
among the youngsters as Pop.
During the rest of the time, the
class works at its special activities,
which are directed by twenty-five
committees. The athletes have their
own basketball and baseball teams,
and every year the class holds a
tennis tournament. The social com-
mittee arranges at least one party
a month. Twice a year, Gallowayans
traipse off on a week-end encamp-
ment at Bonham or Turner Falls,
Okla. The class members like to
pal around with one another when
nothing else is doing.
The class activities aren’t all
fun,, however. It has a social serv-
ice committee to direct charity
work, gives annually $270 to foreign
missions of the church, and backs
a $50 scholarship fund at Jarvis
Christian College for Negroes at
Hawkins in Wood County.

The “March of Dimes” had
seventy more join in its proces-
sion to the president, it was
anounced today by Noli Sewell.
All these were taken in as “tips”
last night at the check room for
the banquet and today were do-
nated to the fight against in-
fantile paralysis, when Mr. Sew-
ell sent a check for $7.00 to
President Roosevelt.
| ports have dropped to one-third
cf that amount.
“We now find that Great Bri-
tain is limiting her purchases of
American cotton and making bulk
purchases in Brazil, India and
Egypt, and then selling her present
warehouse cotton stocks to the neu-
tral nations of Europe under a de-
preciated pound, thus depriving our
cotton farmers of those markets and
precludng the sale of American
cotton in practically every world
market.
“A long range cotton economy
for the United States will not be
complete without the adoption of
a two-price system for this staple.

Loans are new available in Ellis
County for all the farmers from
the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan
Office, a member of their staff
who was in Ennis1 Monday has an-
nounced. Applications for these
loans are being taken at the Coun-
ty Agent’s office in Waxahachie.
The loans are available to all
the farmers, but they are primarily
intended for the small farmer. The
loans draw only four per cent in-
terest, and the office takes only
a lien on the crop being financed
as the only security.
Any time is all right for making
applications to the county agent’s
office, according to Emergency Crop
and Feed Loan Office’s officials.
For the first time in several years
Ennis will celebrate President
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s birthday
tonight with two special affairs be-
ing held in his honor, and to join
in the fight against infantile pa-
ralysis.
There will be a dance at the Sokol
Hall, and a benefit show at the
Plaza theater. The latter has been
going all day wih all proceeds going
toward the “March of Dimes.”
The dance will start at 8 o’clock
tonight with Guz Herzon furnish-
ing the music for the occasion.

by placing countervailing duties on
Germany and Italy, in losing the
export market of almost 2,000,000
bales of cotton annually to those
two countries. Now it is proposed by
similar action against Japan or
even going further and placing
economic sanctions on trade with
Japan, to destroy our biggest re-

have been fighting to build up the

the service to the program numbers
and the main speech of the evening
ing drew praise from those who at-
tended.
William McCraw, noted Dallas at-
torney and Texas politician, was
in his usual fine form as an after
dinner speaker and kept them in a
pleasant mood for nearly an hour
with his humorous talk. He told
story after story that struck close
to home.
In his speech, he made many
personal refcznang to the last gu-
bernatorial campaign in Texas,
which concerned his defeat, and
which gave the crowd some good
laughs. But the most popular one
with the audience was when he
said:
“Lee-O has found that Austin is
no place for an amateur.”
More co-operation and less criti-
cism was the theme of the ad-
dress, and he stressed this in con-
nection with Chamber of Com-
merce activity. He pointed out that
a chamber should have rivalry with
other cities, but should know where
to let this stop, and should rather
seek to build its own city rather
than make it better than another.
Fred Nichols introduced Mr.
McCraw, and just prior to the
main speech, the audience was
treated to a surprise feature which
was a short talk by Bill James,
line coach of the Texas aggies,
the Nation’s No. 1 football team.
Jimmie Jeffries presented a floor
show, as the opening entertain-
ment of the evening, and all of its
acts, including Mr. Jefferies, and
the following: Victor Caveness of
Waxahachie; Royal Wood of Italy,
Gloria Jerome of Dallas and Linda
Sims of Corsicana-, were well re-
ceived.
I. G. Moore, president f the local
organization, was toastmaster at
the banquet, and Noll Sewell, sec-
retary-manager, who assisted Mr.
Moore in arranging the affair, was
much in evidence throughout the
evening, introducing the out of
town guests, making announce-
ments, and attempting to see that
all had a good time.
Out f town guests introduced
were R. P. McCord, Ferris; A. Du-
pree Davis, J. F. Langford, Jr., O.
