looked for a time, up on the
hill, as tho Chastain would not
lead the parade. His horse
slipped on the pavement and
fell, falling on his right leg
} and injuring that member and
also his right elbow. In a
short time, -however, Chastain
Was ready to take up his posi
f tion at the head of the coi-

' Following the parade there
Was a program given in the
auditorium in which the ad
dress of welcome to the guests
Was given by Roy McCormick,
the invocation by Rev. Oliver,
and several of the grades gave
interesting numbers.
The noon hour was a time
for meeting of old timey
friends and to satisfy the
yearnings of the inner man.
Then in the afternoon came ad'
dresses by Hon. W. C. Graves,
Jo* Harris, John Gunstream
Tom Field, C. C. Carver, inter

called it. The audience enjoy-

this column know anything
regarding the location of this
land from which the samples
were submitted will you kind
ly advise Mr. Howell at the
Carrollton depot or ourselves
so that we may submit Your
communication to the proper
officials of the R. R. There
is a possibility that a demand
might be now created for the
clay. Signed: Federal Credit
Union.
It may be well to call atten-
tion .0 you people that it is
quite possible that the party
or parties who supplied the
Clay Samples twenty years
ago are now gone from here.
But the thing that is wanted is
to get the REAL INFORMA
TION NOW about the clay
products which do exist here.
The Cotton Belt desires to
know the extent of the deposits,
in thickness and acreage, and
some samples should be sub-
mitted showing what we have.
We mentioned the matter some
time ago to a number of people
and some have responded in a
manner. George Hughes says
there is considerable of a de-
posit upon his land and he
promises samples and infor-
mation relative of the same.
There may be others who
have deposits upon their land
and they should present Sam-
pies of the clay and give a
statement of thickness of de
posit and acreage covered.—

Dallas Horse Show
Dallas held a very success
ful Horse Show, beginning
last Thursday and ending Sun-
day nite. Many wonderful
horses were shown. Caited
animals were in their element
in the arena on the State Fair
grounds. A horse show of
this kind is a society event as
well as a horse show because
there the lovers of horses get
to show off their fine animals
and their fine gaits, and the
riders fine riding ability and
fine clothes.

concerned, and th* crippled

Where Do We Drift?
This government doesn't
like the dictator nations. And
the dictator nations don’t like
us. This is the logical deduc-
tion from the President’s re*
cent anti-fascist speech, coup-
led with the State Depart-
ment’s blunt warning to Japan
to respect American rights in
China under the traditional
“open door” theory. Newspa*
pers in Rome and Berlin and
Tokyo promptly branded ul
as war-makers, and denounced

gram.
This government is gravely
concerned with recent devel*
opments. Japan, at the begin-
ning of her Asiatic adventure,
solemnly pledged maintenance
of the open door policy. Ap-
parently she had her fingere
crossed. For that policy has
been widely violated in fact-,
and so far as theory goes, a
recent Nipponese announce*
ment said, in effect, that Ja-
pan intends to dominate China,
and that other interested poW.
ers can like it or lump it.
Still more important, possi-
bly, from the long term stand-
point, is something on which

Call, Mrs. J. T. Rhoton, chair-

Mrs. Rhoton was appointed by
Roy McCormick, chairman of
Division No. 1 of Dallas
County.
“We are confident that we
will reach our quota, which is
remarkably low for a town of
1,000,” Mrs. Rhoton said. "Our
citizens realize the tremendous
importance of the Red Cross
in a community, and are eager
to support this fin* humanj.

over the top in our roll call by
Armistice Day.”

saying, following the general

th* humanitarian policies of
President Roosevelt.” Mr. Far-
