W. S. Doyle Died Near
Slidell Early Sunday
Below we copy an account of the
death of W. S. Doyle, a former Coil-
lin County citizen and brother of the
late W. M. Doyle, from the Denton
Record Chronicle. His nephew Jes-
se Doyle and nieces Misses Nettie and
Olive Doyle, attended the funeral:
“W. S. Doyile, a pioneer and well
known resident of Denton county, died
early Sunday morning at his home
near Slidell after a prolonged illness.
Funeral services were held at the
Baptist Church in Slidell Monday af-
ternono at 3 o’clock, . conducted by
Rev. J. P. Nance.
“He is survived by his wife and the
following children: M. L. Doyle, Sil-
as Doyle, J. 0. Doyle, Mrs. McAteer
of Valley View, Mrs. P. K. Best and
Misses Gertrude, Hassie and Nola
Doyile. He is also survived by a num-
ber of grandchildren and great-grand-
children. A. C. Doyle, living near
Slidell, is a brother.
"While he was a young man Doyle
served as a deputy United States
marshal in Virginia, and had many
narrow escapes from death in sub-
duing the outlaws of the mountain
country. When he came to Texas he
settled .in Collin county, but moved to
Denton County soon afterward and
was the owner of a large tract of
land near Slidell. It is one of the best
improved farms in the county.

The Bob Cat Growls
Examinations
Rules to make good grades:
1. Do not study at all.
2. Bring all books home to make
good impression on teacher if he hap-
pens to see you.
3. Always take the correct book,
paper, and pencil or ink to class.
4. Sit in the back, prop your feet
on top of the desk in front.
5. Look somewhat intelligent—but
try to keep your eyes on the professor.
,6. Keep mind (but not too much
for fear that what you have in it will
s£i,H out); lesson assignments and
wise cracks, on the side.
7. Be sure to open your book to the
correct lesson and read one topic
ahead of the professor so that you can
recite at least one day of the week.
8. In preparing for tests, outline
the topics you are sure will be asked
_n0 more, for notes during the exam.
9. Be very sure you get your notes
well concealed in your package of
theme paper.
10. Keep an open eye on the teach-
er and when he is watching you,
write your name and address until he
gives you a chance to peek at your
notes again. By all means look in-
. nocent.
11. Do not finish too quickly, as
that will arouse suspicion, and do not
be too slow, as you have other tests
waiting.
12. Fold and sign your paper cor-
rectly. Tell the professor how easy
the test was, and leave the room su-
premely happy in the knowledge that
another difficult exam has been passed
•successfully.

years in the penitentiary and a $50,-

Jonesboro, Ark., Oct. 26.—Rev.
Joe Jeffers, Baptist evangelist, charg-
ed enimies of his revival with the
burning early today of his tent tab-
ernacle in which he started services
which led to national guardsmen be-
ing called out to prevent bloodshed
in a bitter church controversy a few
weeks ago.
Incendiarism also was suspected
by officers who began an investiga-
tion.
To a handful of shivering followers
gathered around the ruins of the tab-
ernacle after the fire, Jeffers announ-
ced his revival would not be inter-
rupted. He said an open air meeting
would be held on the site tonight
and arrangements would be made as
soon as possible for an indoor meet-
ing place.
He estimated the loss at $4,500, in-
cluding $3,000 on the tent and the rest
on the other equipment and said he
had no insurance.

BAPTIST WORKERS TO MEET
French Show Interest
In U. S. Cotton
Members of the Laval mission from
France have been investigating the
American cotton situation, and have
conferred with officials of the treas-
ury and the Federal Farm Board.
France has been a good buyer of
United States cotton and has been
cautious in buying this year think-
ing cotton might go lower. It is
thought the delegation will try to se-
cure extended financial credits thru
American banks for the French tex-
t.le interests.
emerged from the building he started
forward as if to strike an internal
revenue officer who served papers on
him attaching his property. After
being taken to jail he threatened to
“knock the block off” a news camera-
man with a water bucket. He will
remain in jail while his lawyers try to
gain his freedom on bond.
Actions of this kind will have more
to do with strenghtening the public
confidence in the government than
all Hoover and the rest of the big
shots can by assuring the public that
the nation is able to cope with all
problems of the nation, economic and
otherwise. When a notorius gangster
such as Capone is brought to the bar
and meted out punishment a victory
is won oyer the underworld element
and the millionaire crooks. It' takes
a lot of courage for a judge to sit on
the bench and sentence a character of
this sort, and for the prosecution to
plead for conviction during the trial.
Many a man has been “taken for a
ride.” “put on the spot” or his home j
bombed for much less.
Capone probably won’t have to
start to serving his sentence for quite
a while, for his attorneys will no
doubt fight the case through the high-
est courts of the land to have the sen-
tence reversed, and there is a prob-
ability that he won’t have to serve
the term at all before the case is fin-
ally disposed of, but at any rate this
is round one for the federal govern-
ment.
A few years ago Capone had the
idea he was a law unto himself, but
of late he has learned there are some
conscientious federal judges scattered
over the country and that it takes a
great deal more than a hard look
from him to get by with any and ev-
erything.
$17.50 to Be Available
For Schools Marrs Says
Austin, Oct. 22.—Fears that the
State government would not be able
to meet the $17.50 scholastic per cap-
ita payments were dispelled today by
S. M. N. Marrs, State Superinten-
dant of Education, who announced
that in November he will make an-
other $1 payment for every student on
the rolls, which means the forward-
ing of nearly $1,600,000 to the pub-
lic schools.
The cigarette tax has been coming
in at the rate of $1.50 per student,
Marrs saying that in the course of
a year the public school share of this
levy will amount to at least $2,500,-
000, which will make the total cig-
arette tax collections $5,000,000 or
more annually. The law gives one
half to the schools and the other to
the general revenue fund.
No tax was subjected to as much
as the three-cent levy on cig-
arettes, the first estimates placing
revenue from it at $9,000,000 and lat-
er the figures were revised to $4,000,-
000, Governor Sterling himself ex-
pecting no more than this amount.
Apparently the State will receive
$1,000,000 more than many predicted.
Short Change Artists
Worked Here Tuesday
A couple of short change artists
traveling in an Auburn car worked
Ceilina Tuesday, but were not very
successful. Only one firm, so far as
we can learn, lost by contact with
them. One of the crooks was tall,
the other short.
They tried their game at Nelson’s
cafe and were waited on by Mrs. Nel-
son, offering a $10 bill in payment of
two meals. About the time Mrs..
Nelson had counted out the change,
one of them discovered that he had
the correct change and wanted Mrs.
Nelson to give back the bill and take
the silver. Mrs. Nelson smelled a
mouse and replied that she had the
exact change counted out and told
them to take it and go on and that
was the end of the affair. They also
tried to work their game on Miss
Elizabeth Me Knight at the Martin-
Keefe-Bray store, but failed.
These men worked Rhea Mills and
Gunter Wednesday, the Record is in-
formtd.
Cemetery Association
To Meet Tuesday At 3
Hoover and Laval In
Huddle Over Conditions
The Record is requested to state
that there will be a business meeting
of the Celina Cemetery Association
at the City Hall Tuesday afternoon
at 3 o’clock. All interested are urg-
ed to attend.
Premier Laval of France, who ar-
rived the latter part of last week to
confer with President Hoover in re-
gard to the national and international
ills, have gone into a huddle over the
huge problem. It seems that their
actions and conversations will be bas-
ed primarily on the belief that the
people and the nations are suffering
moi'e from “frozen confidence” than
“frozen securities.” Up to the pres-
ent, however, the indications are that
the President and Premier Laval
have done little to start the thawing
process.
BOBCATS AND BEARKITTENS

O’Dell—“Milliard, did you put the
cat out before you came to bed?”
Millard—“Sure I did.”
O’Dell—“I don’t believe it.”
Millard—“Well, if you think I’m a
liar, gwan and put her out your self-
Mr. Bird says that another shining
example of married life is the pair of
trousers many a husband has to wear.
Buster—“Why is a hen immortal?”
Nolan—“Because her son never

Winn (in lab. looking at the turtles
walking around)-“What are you going
to do with these animals?”
Prof. Cameron—“Feed them hay,
.as that is the way aill of you act.”
The Baptist workers of Collin
County will meet with the Wylie
Church Monday morning at 10 o’clock.
One of the principal addresses will
be made by a Jew who is a minister.
Dr. Williams, the secretary of the
mission board, will address the meet-
ing. In the afternoon, Dr. Reeves,
pastor of the First Church of Green-
ville, will preach. A large attendance
is expected.

Celina’s Bobcats and the Bear-
kittens of Sherman high battled to a
scoreless tie on the Kidd-Key park
Friday afternoon, the battle being
founght on about even terms. The
Bobcats had defeated Coach F. H;
Fowler’s Kittens at Celina about two
weeks ago, 7 to 0.
A squad of rooters accompanied the
Bobcats to the game and encouraged
the warriors.
The first quarter was played in
Sherman territory, due in large ipart
to bad punts on the part of the Kit-
tens. In the second quarter the Kit-
tens got hold of the ball and started
a march, registering two first downs,
principally through the efforts of Cal-
houn, quarterback, a¥id O’Hagen, full-
back. But a fifteen-yard penalty off-
set this and the Bobcats were making
headway as the half ended.
The Bobcats made the most serious
threat in the third quarter when Per-
ry Aikens grabbed a long pa^ss
Snodgrass and was tackled by Cal-
houn near the Kitten ten-yard line.
Another pass put the ball within a
few yards of the goal line but Jack
Melton, Kitten half-back, broke up the
drive by batting down a pass and
Sherman punted out.
Passes again put the Bobcats in
scoring position in the final quarter
but the ball went over and Mullins,
Kitten back, started a drive all his
own. He registered two first downs
singlehanded and was still going good
when he was banished from the game
for striking an opponent. The Kit-
tens got nowhere without Mullins’
services and the game ended without
a score.
The starting lineups: Celina—
Bilderback and Perry Aiken, Ends;
J. Stelzer and R. Stelzer, tackles;
Harp and G. Stelzer, guards; Mc-
Knight, center; Snodgrass, quarter-
back; King and Paul Aikens, half-
backs; Brewer, fullback. Substitutes
—Roberts, guard; Smith, tackle; Jor-
dan, end.
Sherman—Hawn and Smith, ends;
-'lluse and Griswold, tackles; Jolly and
Owens, guards; Craig, center; Mul-
lins, quarterback, Ivy and Mellon,
halfbacks; O’Hagen, fullback. Sub-
stitues: Calhoun, quarterback; Gwynn
end; Sewell, end; Jolly, guard.
