taxation is squeezing the life out oi

NAMES OF TEXAS TOWNS
WOVEN INTO A TRAGEDY
A report has been going the
rounds of the Panhandle newspapers
lately about u young man going to
Seymour of the young ladies who un-
dressed In Plain view and bathed in
Sweetwater. He lias been appre-
hended by the law and below we
give a full account of the whole af-
fair:
Tom Bean, the Coleman, who was
formerly a Taylor, was arrested this
week by a Ranger Troup, and the
Marshall states that he will Deport
him for the Qffense. The reason he
Is to lose his Liberty is as follows:
He was strolling in the Canyon
West of Brownwood, when he saw*
Anna, Alice and Irene bathing in
Big Spring, near the Blooming
Grove. He was a couple of Miles
away in a Rice field. He moved up
nearer so as to get a Plainview, and
hid behind the Rockwall near the
Lone Oak. He says that from here
he had a Grandview and could Sey-
mour, a Lott more. He said the
young ladies were there with Bells
on and had Venus' faded. They
wen* dressed in the style that orig-
inated in the garden of Eden. The
Marshall tied him to the Center of
a wH.ii n Grapevine
and went for assistance from the
Ranger Troup. And that's Howe it
happened.—Hill County Herald.
WHEELS REVOLVING?
A popular daily newspaper carries
on its front page each day several
items under the heading, “Business
Wheels Revolving." each tending to
show that conditions over the na-
tion are Improving and that pros-
perity is returning. Such items as
“Willys-Overland automobile sales 4
times ahead of last year;” "DuPont
De Nemors Co. estimate earnings
45c a share against. 36c last year;”
“Woolen Corporation reports net
profit of $45,808 in 1932 as against
*27.014 in 1931." These items make
very good reading, but what the
i rrlcultural communities of the
south would like to sec would be
items like there: "John Doe shipped
a carload of fine beef cattle to the
markets yesterday, receiving a nice
profit in the transaction;’’ "Bill
Jones sold his la t season’s crop of
cotton this week, receiving 10c per
pound;” “Henry Smith shipped a
car load of ear corn today, the price
he received being 75c per bushel.”
Until such rep rets as these can be
received from communities of the
south, there can be no change in
business conditions, regardless of |
how many c^mpan’es declare a pro-
fit in the eart or how many automo-
biles are sold. -Honey Grove Signal-

THEIR SERVICE
There ls no substitute for news-
paper advertising. tf
A few years from now when all
; ills depression .is over, there will be
many appraisals and opinions oi
the consequence of the things which
have gone (before.
The reoord will be* set down with
precision and care.
Into that record will go many
facts, many conclusions, many im-
pressions. Some chronicler may ev-
en have occasion to go into the fac-
irs which kept the situation from
being worse, which preserved the
nation.
If he digs deep, he will find count-
•s small enterprises that were wo-
ven interminably into the fabric
which supported the equilibrium.
And I wonder, when the account-
ing is made, whether anyone ever
will give to the newspapers of the
land tlu* credit that is due them.
For upon the shoulders of the
newspapers lias been placed much
of the responsibility . . . accepted
willingly ... of keeping the nation-
al structure from crashing to bits.
During the past three years I
have watched the newspapers of the
country, working furiously to build
up their communities, preaching
-anity and cool judgment when the
alarmod were running through the
streets shouting “Wolf! Wolf!"
I have watched them throwing
their enthusiasm and resources into
•aving financial and business insti-
tutions, into putting down gossip,
warding off panic.
I have seen them fighting to build
up faith and confidence and optim-
ism.
If you have been a student ol
newspapers, you have noticed this,
too.
While idle tongues were beating a
:etreat on all sides of them, the
newspapers were printing the news,
telling of achievements, of progress,
cf hope in the face of reverses.
The newspapers chose the front
trenches from which to fight, and
what’s more they’ve pretty well stay-
ed there, carrying on the battle with
the same vigor.
The newspapers haven’t been paid
for this. Quite the contrary. Theirs
has been an unselfish labor of ser-
vice.
Each newspaper lias fought for
Its own community, its own section
. and lined up together, they have
made a far-flung battle line!
That ideas of radicalism and con-
fusion haven’t held a fear-strlcker.
people can be attributed to the press
which has used reason and confi-
dence for its weapons.—Home Town-
er, in Temple Telegram
at her fears, for there was a letter
from Dennis, in which for the firs,
time he said that he missed her—
and only God knew what an effort
t had cost him to write those words
--and asking how much longer she
meant to be a deserter.
"Dreams don't mean anything,'
Pauline told herself happily. "It
must have been because we had cu-
cumber with the salmon for dinner."
She spent a happy day. The doc-
,or said her mother was better, and
there was a wire from her father to
ay he was returning, and Pauline
wrote a long letter to Dennis. “It
will be too wonderful, won't it," she
wrote with trembling eagerness. "I
think I love you better than ever I
did—if it's at all possible darling. I
often wonder how I managed ever
to be happy before you married me,
and if anything happened that we
-ere separated, Dennis, I should
die."
O’Hara's face twitched as he read
her loving words, and for a moment
lie looked away from what he was
reading, wondering why it was he

Dennis that he had aged years in
these few days.
Pauline’s letter had come by the
evening post, and Dennis was
“Upset?”
"I expect Mrs. Stark will explain |

She went away, leaving Dennis to
vait impatiently.
When she came he saw that she

gown he had once admired. He went
quickly to her and took her hands.
“What is it. my dear?”
She smiled. “Did Mellish tell

BOOM—and in gold
The end of almost every previous
depression in the history of the
vorld has been marked by some kind
a speculative boom. Perhaps the
cave of speculation in gold mining
;ccks which started a couple of
,reeks ago on the London Stock Ex-
ehange may prove the impetus that
ill bring money back into circula-
tion rapidly.
More gold was mined in 1932 than
in any previous year since the world
•cords began to be kept. Most of
i came from South African mines;
j big percentage of it from Canada.
Gold is worth move, measured in
emmodities and labor, than it has
ever been. That makes shares in
producing gold mines particularly
valuable.
In times like these no predictions
are safe, but I want to register a
guess that the next few months will
ee a revival of speculation not only
in gold mining stocks, but in other
eeprities. Speculation does not
make prosperity, but it is nearly al-
ways an evidence that people who
control important money have come

alone—"Bring Dr Stornaway," she
had said.
"Are you never coming alone with
me again?" Dennis had asked, but
she had not replied.
He stood staring down in to the
fire, smoking cigarette after cigar-
ette and trying to see beyond the
immediate present. Was there to be
any beyond? Barbara would not tell
him, and he himself could not find
the answer.
When Pauline came back perhaps
they would find it, or she would find
it for them. The telephone rang.
Was it Barbara, to say she could
not dine with him? His heart al-
most seemed to stop beating as he
waited, and then he caught his
breath in a great sigh of relief as
he knew it was not she. It was
Stornaway.
“That you. O'Hara? I say. I’m
awfully sorry, but I can’t come along
tonight, after all. I've been sent for
to go home. Old Thompson is ill.
“Please.” Then she laughed, a
wild little laugh that sounded in-
finitely sad. “Make it strong, Den-
nis. so strong that I shan’t care what
happens or what becomes of me.”
She flung out her hands with a
pathetic gesture of emptiness, but
Dennis took no notice. He finished
his mixing and brought a glass to
her. As she took it he asked, "And
what did you say?”
“I told him I would think about
it." There was a long silence. "You
know he divorced me," she said pre-
sently.

“No, not at all—I’ve not booked

“Liar!” he told himself cheerily as
he rang off and went to get his ov-

Dinner alone with Barbara—he
felt like a happy schoolboy as he
went downstairs and out into the
street. A whole evening alone with
her; Would she come now that Stor-
naway would not be there? Well, he
would not tell her until she asked.
It seemed a long time before his
knock on Barbara’s door was an-
swered, and then it was Mrs. Mel-
lLsh who admitted him.
She said. “Good evening, sir,” in
her quiet voice and led the way into
the sitting room.
“Mrs. Stark will not keep you

him with those quiet eyes that saw
