of the Wortham High School have
been content with local, district,
and area honors, but this year
they are tasting State honors. It
all came about when Donald Cal-
amn and Franklin Calame, seniors
of the 1946 Wortham High School
graudating class, were awarded
the State Lone Star Farmer de-
gree at the State Convention as-
sembled in Sweetwater, Texas,
June 4-7, 1946 by the Texas As-
sociation of Future Farmers of
America. The Calame boys,
(cousins) won this high honor for
themselves and their vocational
agriculture department of their
high school upon presentation of
sufficient written evidence rjf
their success in farming during
their three years of vocational
agriculture in the local high
school and the display of their
eadership ability in various ac-
tivities of the local chapter of
Future Farmers of America dur-
ing the past three or four years.
The State Lone Star Farmer de-
gree has been won by only two
others.
Freestone County boys in the
past — Teague having had two
boys to receive this degree a few
years ago.
In addition to the honors won
by the Calame boys, the Worth-
am Chapter of the Future Farm-
ers ot America received the rat-
ing of Honorable Mention, which
was a recognition received by but
few of the F. F. A. Chapters of
Texas, and about V\ of all the
chapters in the State getting as
good or better rating. This was
also the first time in the history
of the school that this honor has
been bestowed upon the Future
Farmers of America local chap-
ter.
These accomplishments were
made possible by the cooperation
of the State Board of Vocational
Education and the local Hoard
of Education, under the super-
vision of G. C. Williams, teacher
of vocational agriculture, and J.
Mil Auld, Superintendent of the
Wortham Public Schools.

COURT POSTPONES
SECOND TRIP TO
ELECTRIC CHAIR
WASHINGTON, Jurv- 11 (UP)
—The supreme court today post-
poned at least until next fall a
second trip to the electric chair
for Willie Francis, convicted ne-
gro Louisiana murderer, after an-
nouncing yesterday that it would
refuse to consider his case.
The state electric chair failed
to kill Francis on the originally
scheduled death date, May 3.
He appealed on grounds that
to cayy out the death penalty
later would place him in double
jeopardy for a single crime and
inflict a "cruel and unusual pun-
ishment."
The official orders of the court,
issued at the end of its term yes-
terday, carried the one word "de-
nied' regarding his request for
review of his case.
CIVIL CASES
Filed in the office of the Dis-
trict Clerk of Limestone County,
Texas, May 27th through June
8th, 1940, as compiled from rec-
ords of Lone Star Abstract Com-
pany, Inc., Groesbeck, Texas.

COKE AND SEAY
HAVE OPEN BREAK
OVER PARTY POLICY
An open break existed today
between Gov. Coke R. Stevenson,
the titular head of the Democratic
party in Texas, and Harry
Seay, the chairman of the party's
state executive committee.
' Seay accused Stevenson of
thinking like an anti-New Deal
"Texas Regular."
It was brought about by sharp
criticism and just as pointed re-
tort.
First the governor told news-
men in Austin that the executive
committee had no'business adopt-
ing a resolution calling for the de-
feat of State Agricultural Com-
missioner J. E. McDonald, seek-
ing his ninth term.
Stevenson said the committee
should stick to its main job of as-
suring that "elections are con-
ducted in a fair and impartial
manner among all candidates."

Bread Price Higher,
Cost of Living Up
WASHINGTON, June 12 (UP)
—Bread prices were increased one
cent a loaf today as government
officials estimated that the cost
of living will go up as much in
May and June as it did in the

rye. Prices also were boosted one
cent a dozen on bread-type rolls.
