If farmers do not get rich these
days it is not because they have
not had advice enough tendered
them.
We are not going to plant a bit
more cotton this year than we
did last year. What are you go-

There was a generous exchange

many we ’e done by the Oid Mas-

If you did not get one it was
possibly because you are not

Was it Mr. Osier who.t-hot it

Well, now comes James J. Davis,
Commissioner of Labor, and re-
marks that “the man of fifty or
sixty years is just as capable to
work as when he was thirty.’’
Perhaps he is, at some things.

To The Press:
In reporting the proceedings
of a meeting of the Banking
Board, held February 7, the press
has referred to the action of the
majority of the Board as voting
an assessment of $258,000 for the
purpose of paying non-interest
bearing depositors of failed
banks. I beg to call the attention
to the minutes of the proceed-
ings of the meeting, offered by
the Banking Commissioner, and
those certified to by me, both of
which shows that only this ref-
erence was made to the disposi-
tion of the funds: for the use and
benefit of the guaranty fund.
The only act, or acts, taken by
the Banking Board since the
Honorable James Shaw assumed
the duties of Banking Commis-
sioner, looking to the payment
of any sum to anybody, has been
the action of the Board to pay to
certain banks $789,000 (not those
from whom the majority of the
Board now attempts to levy an
assessment of $258,000, plus in-
terest), and no attempt has been
made ‘o pay any non-interest
bearing depositors o f failed
banks, notwithstanding the fact
that about two million dollars is
in the guaranty fund in cash and
in banks where tiiis money was
deposited by the Banking Com-
missioner. These depositors,
when they deposited their money
in the guaranty fund bank, had a
right to believe and they did be
lieye that state officials would
discharge their duty in providing
protection for the desposits
they made, and I am resolved
that they shall receive every dol-
lar thev are entitled to under the
law, and that every bank shall
receive every dollar it is entitled
to under the law, in so far as my
acts as a state official will go to
bring about this result. The
“rush act” given this matter by
a majority of the Board, in the
“Quite Right”
Old Bill Smith drove down the lane
In bis one-hoss shay, from the State of Maine,
And he said: “Gol darn my sister’s pup
If the right ain't mine and I won’t give up.”
A big, fine car came down the pike,
And the neighbors say they heard It strike,
But all of Bill which they brought in
Was the long goatee that was on his chin.

Poor Old Bill Smith frescoed the pike
With his remains- And then the shrike
Who met him so uncanny and abrupt
Got his. ‘Tis sad to interrupt
So nice a story. But truth impels

in the several lines. We know
one city where they have won-
derful sweet peas and it was
stimulated mostly by a series of
prizes offered for the best bou-
quets brot in during a certain
period of the summer season.
Carrollton is naturally beautiful
and can add t o it by a little
effort.
offering small prizes for the best face of numerous suits pending
i;„oo w„ in the courts to determine the
rights of all part es, may have
been taken in good faith, but if
so it was done without necessity
and, in my opinion, without, legal
or moral warrant; and it is the
first time that such action has
been taken since the guaranty
fund law was enacted. I shall
continue to insist that the wind-
ing up of the guaranty system
should be done by the law and
the courts and not by discre-
tionary acts of the Banking
Board, or by law promulgated by
members of the Board. I would
further call attention to the fact
that from time to time covering
nearly two years previous to this
date, the former Banking Corns
missioner withdrew from me a
total amounting to over $900,000,
for the purpose of paying the
same to non-interest bearing
depositors in failed banks more
than was necessary for such
payment; that the present Bank-
ing Commissioner has about
$600,000 of this fund deposited
jn banks of his selection and that
I have about $268,000 of this
fund, and that no attempt has
been made by the Banking Com-
missioner or the Banking Board
to return this money to the
hanks from whom it tas unlaw-
fully withdrawn, or to pay it to
anybody .

Over at the Carrollton Hard-
ware Company store first of the
week we saw Roy and Charley
hard at work assembling farm
machinery. Being an editor we
were not supposed to know to
what use such implements were
to be put and we know, from his
age, that Roy had not come in
contact with their actual task.
Charley used to be a spreader of
printers ink so how could he b"
more informed than weourselves.
So you see why it is we shall ask
you to go over and see the imple
ments yourself if you want to
know what is expected of them
out in the fields.
There we>e fewer bank failur-
es during 1927 than during any
proceeding year for five years.
Sank failures for 1927 were 662
and 124 of these were membars
of the Federal Reserve system.
In 1928 mere were 955 failures
andl60ofthe.se were members

Attractive Program at
Palace Theatre, Dallas
A big program of theatre entertain-
ment, crowded with new thrills, is
promised by the Palace Theatre, Dal-
las for the week starting Saturday,
February 25.
two thrills will be positively new
ones. First will be the introduction
of Ken Whitraer, new Palace stage
band director. Mr. Whitmer, who
has just closed an extensive tour of
North America with his own orches-
tra, is a composer, singer, dancer
and player of 14 different instruments
and still very young and magnetic
personality. Through his leadership
the Palace stage band, an organiza-
tion of 18 musicians, will continue to
be one of the strongest Palace feat-
ures, as the band is certainly one of
the most well-known in America.
The other new thrill will be Lon
Chaney in his newest picture, “The
Bigfiity,” Chaney wears no make-
up or distortioning features, and he
does not have a disappointment in
love. He especially invites the ladies
to “look him over” in this new pic-
ture. Supporting Chaney are Betty
Compson, Marceline Day and James
Murray (the usher boy who lias made
a sensational rise in the movies).
“The Big City” is a story of New
York night club life.
Other features of the new program
will be a special overture by the Pal-
ace concert orchestra, Sigmund con-
ducting, and an organ novelty by
Dwight Brown.
A letter receivrd by relatives
from Mr. and Mrs. Marion Good
who recently moved to Chicago
states that they were liking their
new home very much, and that
M r. Good has a good position.
Of course if you are not a sub-
scriber to the Chronicle you
should be and we invite you to
Gome on in and join the family.
Only $1 per year.
Mesdames C. W. Smith; Mari,
on Cox and Minnie Asbury of
Dallas visited their sister, Mrs.
Tom Padgett here Tuesday. Also
a niece. Mrs. C. A. Foster of
Farmers Branch was a guest.
You will find the Financial
Statement of the Carrollton Wa-
ter Works Bond on page 8 of this
paper, A very interesting report
and, it seems to us, a good one.
Mr. and Mrs. F. H. McMurray
drove down to Point last Sunday
and visited the parents of Mrs.
McMurray. Mr. and Mrs. W, C.
McAdams. When they returned
to Carrollton the parents accom-
panied them and will spend a
short time here visiting in their
daughters home.

J. T. Vandergriff was one of
the six hundred Chevrolet deal-
ers who gathered in Dallas Mon-
day. That they had a grand and
glorious time seems evident
from the line of chatter we heard
about the meeting in Dallas and
out here; and J. T. does not de-
ny anything and goes so far as
to admit that he didn’t know it
was possible to have so good a
time and, further, that he does
not propose to miss any future
meetings. So that’s that.
