No one on the Calf Creek am
could hit the pay basket with any
degree of consistency except Alex-

field goals and a free toss for 11
points. Meantime, Lee, Teague
and Hamilton of the Star club
were shooting baskets from all
angles to amass a heavy score.
Star evenually went to the semi-
finals, losing to Brownwood 44-21.
Richland Springs, San Saba county

The first step toward the remodeling and rebuilding of
the Highway No. 10 bridge across Brady Creek on North
Bridge street, has been taken with the acceptance by both
the McCulloch county commissioners and the Brady city
council of the proposal of the Austin Bridge Company to fur.
nish all the necessary material, including cement, steel and
form lumber, and to provide the necessary tools and super-
vision, for the sum of $6,000. The proposal cites that the
city and county are to furnish all necessary common labor,
and the sand and gravel for concrete, used in the remodeling
job. The city is to pay for its one-half of the cost out of R.
F. C. funds, while the county will pay for its share of the
work with county warrants bearing 6 per cent interest.
Contracting of the work devolves upon the city securing its
funds out of the next allotment of R. F. C. funds for McCul-
loch county. __________________
Benham’s Spring Style Show at Palace to Be

principal of Brady high school sev-
eral years ago, was a brief busi-

one Maxine Staton and one Jetty
. V. Clare, the leading, guiding and
V driving geniuses of the Coleman
Democrat-Voice, and who emphat-
ically and in heavily pencilled
wording, aver: “We got cheated!’
This painful appellation is penciled
on the front page of the copy of
last Friday’s edition of The Brady
Standard, the same being the iden-
tical copy with which we favored
the Democrat-Voice. The cause of
the hue and cry we discovered to
be that the inside pages were en-
tirely blank and of pristine purity.
Nevertheless, we deny that the
Coleman contemporaries got
cheated. On the contrary, they
got their full money’s worth in the
two printed pages they did receive;
had the remaining two been also
printed, that would merely have
been lagniappe. Besides the
which, the incident merely goes to
prove that none, not even neigh-
boring newspaper folks, are satis-
fied with merely two good pages
of the Brady Standard—they in-
variably look within for still more
and additional good news.
Yearlings Nose Out
Brady For Title
., V. Pearson’s Calf Creek Year-
lings were not to be denied here
’ on Thursday night of last week,
and they staged a great last-half
rally to turn back the Brady Bull-
doys in a thrilled-packed cham-
pionship game, 30 to 27.
The Calf Creek lads, most of
whom have been playing together
for three or four years, and who
swept all opposition aside in the
Class C division during that time,
displayed a quick-breaking offense
and an air-tight defense to hold
the Bulldogs in check throuoghout
the last half.
With Blaisdell, Lee and Otto
Barsch feeding him the ball under
the net, B. Barsch was able to ring
up six field goals for 12 points,
tying with Terry of Brady, who
tossed in the same number of goals
from the field, for a dozen tallies.
The lead switched back and forth
until the last three minutes, when
the Barsch boys sank a pair of
goals to clinch the victory.
Glass and Terry starred for
Brady, the former scoring eight
points and turning in an excellent
floor game. Langford also stood
out in defeat.

Brady held a 12-6 lead at the
end of the first half, clearly out-
playing the Yearlings, but that
last half looked quite different. At
the outset of the third period, the
Calf Creek boys looped a pair of
field goals in rapid succession, and

men of Stephenville. One would
have thought, after the Stephen-

there would have been somewhat
of a hiatus in news, advertising
and volume the past week. But,
nay, not so. The Empire- Tribune
came forth last week full-fledged,

fact constituted the best piece of

is
half-dozen youthful blue-clad sol-
diers who carried the mortally
wounded Lincoln from Ford’s thea-
tre to his death-bed that fateful
night of April 14, 1865, one still
lives—the tragedy burned deeply
into his memory.
A grayed and weather-beaten old
soldier now is Jacob J. Soles. At
eighty-seven, he lives with his
memories in a little house in Tur-
tle Creek, waiting the “taps” that
all good soldiers know they must
answer. A mine accident has cost
him one eye; his other, he admits,
“isn’t as clear as it might be.”
“But if I live to 100," he ex-
claims. “I’ll never forget that
night. I don’t need eyes to look
back on it!”
Soles, three comrades of his
company and two other young
soldiers were seated together in
Ford’s theatre in Washington on
that eventful night to see "Our
American Cousin.” They were
seated on the same side of aisle
about 15 feet from the box where
President Lincoln sat.
Recalls Tragic Moment
"He was with a party,” Soles re-
lates. “From my seat I could see
him clearly and noticed him laugh-
ing at one of the comical parts in
the show.
“Then one of the actresses took
the center of the stage—can’t say
I ever knew her name—but she
was dressed in a long robe. I re-
call she kind of flirted with the
audience.
“It was awfully still in the thea-
tre at that minute. Suddenly the
darkness.
“Mrs. Lincoln, I think it was, was
the first to scream. “The presi-
dent is shot" she cried. A man
leaped from the box to the stage.
It was John Wilkes Booth.
“We were at Lincoln’s side in a
second. We lifted him up. I re-
member he felt limp, as if all the
fight had gone out of him.
Heard Lincoln Speak
“Guards cleared the aisles and
we walked to the door and then
directly across the street—the six
of us carrying him as gently as
we could.
“Mr. Lincoln spoke only once
and then in such a whisper that
he could hardly make himself
heard. I think I caught the words,
'where are they taking me?’
“We carried him across the
street and up the steps of the
house. Someone directed us to a
room, where we put Lincoln on a
bed.
“Back we went to the theatre,
but we weren’t permitted to en-
ter. But, even from the outside,
we could hear the rant and jam
behind the doors as guards tried
to calm the people and prevent a
stampede."
That night when he saw the
Great Emancipator’s face with
death’s shadow already across it,
was not the first time this boy in
blue had met the president. While
an orderly, he frequently ran mes-
sages between his commanding of-
ficers at the barracks and the
White House. Mr. Lincoln, he
likes to recall, often would nod or
smile at the brisk young mesenger.
Interscholastic Meet
Melvin Next Month
The annual McCulloch County
Interscholastic League literary and
track and field meet will be held
at Melvin on March 31 and April
1, it was announced following a
meeting of the Executive Com-
mittee of the organization held
here Saturday afternoon. Like
the cage tournament, it will make
the first time in the history of the
organization that the meet will be
held away from Brady.
The selection of the meeting
place was hotly contested, mem-
bers said, three voting to come to
Brady, and four casting their vote
for Melvin. M. E. Noble, director
general, and H. C. Braly, county
superintendent, not being permitt-
ed to vote.
The track and field meet will be
free this year, made possible thru
a very successful basketball tour-
nament at Rochelle, and the ex-
cellent financial condition of the
organization will permit carrying
on the track meet in gratis man-
ner.
Track meets, however, will not
be new to Melvin, since invitation
meets were held there annually
until a year or so ago. Melvin
citizens are backing the league
meet to the limit, and everything
possible will be done to make the
occasion as successful as the re-
cent cage tourney at Rochelle.
Members of the Executive Com-
mittee are M. E. Noble, and H. C.
Braly, chairmen; Huling Robinson,
Mrs. N. L. Mullendore, Miss Grace

MORE INCOME TAX REPORTS
WILL BE MADE THIS YEAR
items as money given to charity
or church, taxes of any kind paid
to the Federal or local govern-
ment, interest on business debts
and certain kind of business losses.
Every single man or woman who
earned as much as $20 a week last
year, 1932, will have to pay an in-
come tax to Uncle Sam this year.
Every married man, or woman who
is head of a family, who earned
$50 a week in 1932, is also liable
for income tax in 1933, unless there
are minor children to be supported.
Treasury officials estimate that
more than three and one-half mil-
lion persons who have never paid
income tax to the Federal govern-
ment are obligated to pay it under
the law passed last year. And
what is worrying the treasury is
the question: Do these taxpayers |
realize that they have got to re-overtake the individual who has
port their last year’s income and
pay tax or go to jail and be fined?
It’s an impossible game to beat,
this Federal income tax. With
luck, some few get away with
evading it for a while, but when
they are caught the penalties are
severe, and the accrued tax is a
lien that comes ahead of every-.---------—----------
thing else—mortgages, state and out and filed. Form 1040-A for
local taxes, grocery bills and all. incomes below $5,000 a year; form

Treasury Has Record
A married man without children
is allowed $2,500 exemption; an
unmarried person only $1,000 ex-
emption. Every employer is re-
quired to report to the Govern-
ment how much was paid in salary
and commissions to each employee
during the year. So the Treasury
has a practically complete record,
I which is sure to be followed up.
And when the Treasury agents
failed to report taxable income
trouble is pretty sure to follow.
“The only safe plan for anyone
who wants to avoid trouble,” said
one of the Treasury officials the
other day, “is to send to the In-
come Tax Unit at the Treasury
Department, Washington, for the
proper form of report to be filled
Revenue have the right to garni- more." Proper form must be filed
shee the salary or wages of any- with the nearest Collector of In-
one liable for income tax and who ternal Revenue by March 15, and
does not pay it. The law gives at least one-quarter of the tax paid
the Federal courts the right to
send to prison anybody who fails
to report his 1932 income by the
15th of March, 1933.
The tax is not very high on the
small incomes. If one is single
and earned $1,200 last year, the
highest tax possible would be only
$8. And there are exemptions
from that. The taxpayer can de-
duct from net income figures such
at that time.
