Run-Off Campaign Starts
Saturday Evening
Keller residents will hear the
first political speeches of the
"run-off’" campaign, when the
24 candidates in the second pri-
mary talk there Saturday night.
These political speakings will
differ considerably from those
of the first primary, as only
two candidates will appear in
each race. Their talks will be in
the nature of a debate, with the
first speaker replying to his op-
MEXICAN FRUIT FLY
THREATENING BORDER
Eggs Found in Plums From Sup-
posedly Clean Mexican Area.
By Science Service.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.—The
Mexican fruit fly, cousin of the
European fruit fly that has caused
much trouble in Florida, is again
threatening citrus areas on the
southwestern border of the United
States. It has not yet established
itself on American soil, but its
larvae have been found in plums
from localities in Mexico supposed
to be outside the “zone of de-
fense" which the Mexican govern-
ment has thrown about the area
where its infestation is chronic.
The fly has twice gained tem-
porary footholds in the United
States, and only by the most rig-
orous methods by both Mexicans
and Americans was the visitation
stamped out. It constitutes a great
potential danger to the citrus
areas in Texas, Arizona and other
states of the Southwest.
A Word of
THANKS
I’ wish to most sincerely
extend my thanks to my many
friends who supported, worked
and voted for me as their
favorite candidate for consta-
ble, in the July primary. They
saw fit to give me a great
vote, and I am sure my friends
will make others for me and
give me the nomination for
the office of constable of Pre-
cinct 1, on August 23. I will
then show my appreciation by
making the best servant of
the public it is in the power
of man to do.

Body to Rest on Hill He

Major James M. Handley will
be laid at rest Sunday evening on
the hill where he had planned a
home for his sweetheart of 60
years ago.
The body of the Confederate
army officer, for whom the town
of Handley was named, will be
removed from an unmarked grave
in old Handley Cemetery and re-
interred on top of a hill now a
part of the Rose Hill Burial Park.
Removal of Major Handley’s
body is being sponsored by Unit-

The burial place has been given
by the Rose Hill Cemetery Asso-

look all right.”
"Where do we go?” one Tiny
said. “Oh, not so far. It’s just

bright." They soon came to a
corner spot and all together saw
a lot of shiners who began to
call whenthey walked into

The stands were neat, and as
a rule, the shiner sat upon a
stool. His customer just stood
up straight and perched one foot
up high. A bell would ring with
one shoe done and then he’d
perch the other one. Thus all
the shoes of all the bunch were

Protests and Interest From
President Cause Treasury
To Alter Policy
By United Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 — A
more restrained policy with re-
spect to banning Soviet imports is
expected to be followed by the
treasury as a result of the volume
of complaints made against the
embargo on pulpwood from Rus-
sia, and the interest shown in the
problem by President Hoover.
Pending final decision on re-
quests to lift this embargo, Sey-
mour Lowman, assistant secretary
of the treasury, said today he was
not planning to extend it to such
products as manganese, anthra-
cite and lumber, as numerous rep-
resentatives of American indus-
tries have demanded. There is lit-
the prospect that the government
will grant the petition of Matthew
Woll, vice president of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, that all
Russian products’ be kept out of
the country on the ground that,
under the Soviet system, all labor
is forced.
Stays With Ciatm. ==-
Lowman insisted, however, that
he had definite evidence that pulp-
wood is loaded by convicts at Rus-
sian ports. Representatives of the
Amtorg, the Soviet trading con-
cern, have not yet filed specific
data on this point, but have been
given more time to disprove the
charge, if possible.
Though Lowman may not re-
voke his pulpwood ban, there are
reports he may modify it so as to
admit five cargoes which have ar-
rived but which are not discharged
and the ten vessels en route.
All these ships sailed for the
United States before the pulpwood
order was issued, and it is the
contention of shipping men in-
volved that they were not given
sufficient notice to rearrange their
affairs. They stand to suffer great
losses, and have threatened to
bring suit against the government.
Not Discrimination.
Signs of more restraint piled up
following the White House an-
nouncement that the pulpwood
ban did not mark the beginning
of an economic war against Mos-
cow, and that the same injunction
would be ap, lied to convict-made
goods regardless of the country of
origin. In taking the same posi-
tion, William Green, president of
the American Federation of Labor,
denied that Woll’s attitude toward
Soviet commerce represented the
federation itself.
Nobody but himself or the ex-
ecutive council. Green explained,
could make any announcement of
the federation’s stand.

WHEN all the bunch had had
W their fill wee Scouty said,
“Let’s wait until that little girl
comes to the well. I’ll try to
help her out by hauling water
to the top. I’m sure it’s here
she plans to stop." The little
girl then came up near and
looked around in doubt.
Then Scouty said, “Just hand
to me your pail. I’m strong as
I can be and I will fill it to the
top." The little girl began to
smile. Then Scouty let the well
pail sink down in the well. Said
he, “I’m sure it must be pretty
deep. It seems to go down bout
a mile."
They heard a splash far, far
below and Scouty shouted, "Here
I go!" The others helped him
pull the rope and brought the
pail in sight. Into the girl’s pail
it was poured. Then, suddenly,
the whole bunch roared. Poor
Scouty spilled some on his shoes,
and my, he looked a sight.
The girl seemed rather fright-
ened and she quickly took her
