TWENTY-NINTH YEAR.
It is stated by County Judge E. W,
Merritt that the county wide tubercu
lin test of all cattle, with the excep-
tion of some few herds which may
have been missed, will be completed
by May 23rd.
Those who have cattle not yet test-
bed or who know of cattle not tested
are requested to notify him immediat-
ely in order that this work may be
thoroughly done. The Federal and
State vererinarians who have been do-
ing this work will leave promptly
after the 23rd and in order to have
this test made without cost to the
.owner it will be necessary to get notice
to Judge Merritt or the McKinney
Chamber of Commerce before this
date.
Following the completion of the test
the county will be designated by the
Federal and State Government as an
accredited tuberculosis free area and
stock owners will be allowed to move
their cattle to any county in Texas
for a period of three years without
having to go to the expense of the
tuberculin test. If it is desired
to move the cattle to other States
it will be necessary to apply
for a certificate from the State Live
■Stock Sanitary Commssion, 701 Wheat
Bldg., Fort Worth, Texas.
No cattle will be allowed to come in-
to Coll.n County until the tuberculin
test has been made except from Coun-
ties which have completed this test as
Collin County has. Those counties
which have completed the test are Dal-
las and Tarrant. Those interested in
keeping the county free from this
dread malady are urged to notify the
've Stock Sanitary Commission at
ah "■ address of any such move-
j the county.

Frank C. Davis, 53, prominent Den-
ton citizen and lifelong resident of this
county, was found dead at his home,
1908 North Locust Street, Saturday
morning about 11:30. A coroner's
verdict of death from self-inflicted
gunshot wounds was returned Satur-
urday afternoon by Justice of the
Peace W. A. Mathews.
Davis was vice-president of the Den-
ton County National Bank, and was
activey engaged in the management
of his farm in Collin County and his
8,000-acre rnach in Scurry County.
He is survived by two sons, Sam
Davis of Sherman and Clark Davis of
San Antonio; a sister, Mrs. J. W.
Matock of Frost, and a brother, M. M.
Davis of San Antonio. His mother,
Mrs. Ora Davis, died here Jan. 1 of
this year. Davis was born and rear-
ed in the Little Elm community and
moved to his present home about 12
years ago.
Davis was living at home alone at
the time of his death. The body was
found by J. S. Darnell, a neighbor,
who was called when a negro, working
in the Davis yard, heard the shot and
became alarmed.
When discovered, Davis was lying
in bed, clad only in his underclothing,
with a .38 caliber revolver tightly
clased in both hands, and a wound in
his right temple, Matthews stated.

PETTY THIEVES INCREASE
Cases of petty theft are becoming
more numerous. T. H. Boals drove
his car up town the other day and a

said he had some on it, but when he
examined the machine he found that
both had been removed.
Light bulbs were stolen from the
-car of Rev. L. T. Grumbles a few
nights ago.
While Hugh Roberts, who lives
southwest of town, was in town a few
days ago a negro boy about 14 years
old entered his house, and judging
from the way he filled up, he must
have thought it was a filling station.
He ate two boxes of strawberries, a
box of vanilla wafers, can of salmon
and drank a portion of a crock of milk.
Some negroes saw the boy and told
Mr. Roberts, who followed the boy and
-overtook him. The boy first made a
clean denial, but finally confessed. Mr.
Roberts allowed the boy to go on his
way but told him not to be found
about his premises again.

Washington, May 11.—A protest
against governmental indorsement of
national cotton week Monday brought
a prompt reply from the Department
of Commerce defending its action.
The protest, registered with the de-
partment by Representative Segar of
New Jersey on behalf of the wool
workers in his district, expressed op-
position to Government departments
“becoming sales agencies.”
Edward T. Pickard, chief of the tex-
tile divsion, replied that the depart-
ment was acting under a specific ap-
propriation of Congress “to extend
the uses of cotton.”
Indorsement of cotton week was
given under that act, he said adding
that a similar appropriation was avail-
able to extend the uses of wool, and
that his division would be glad to con-
sider a like proposal from the wool
manufacturers.
The protest was made by Mr. Segar
after Chalres F. Johnson, president of
the Botany Worsted Mills of Passaic,
New Jersey, had said participation of
the department in the cotton campaign
was “rank injustice to the thousands
of wool manufacturers whose livilihood
depends on the sale and consumption
of wool materials.” Mr. Johnson’s pro-
test was contained in communications
to Senator Morrow as well as Mr.
Segar.
Mr. Segar protested directly to Sec-
retaries Lamont and Hyde.
Mr. Johnson’s protest followed the
indorsement by hte Departments of
Commerce and Agricuture of the ob-
servance of national cotton week the
first seven days of June by the
Cotton Institute and the Cotton Manu-
facturers’ Association to stimulate
buying of cotton.

Monday morning at High School as-
sembly a program was given by the
Junor MacDowell Club, consisting of
choruses, solos and duets by the Club
members.
Wednesday morning the third and
fourth grades presented a program of
songs and folk dances. Miss New-
som's Toy Symphony Orchestra was
also presented.
Thursday afternoon the first and
second grades entertained their moth-
ers with a program of songs and
rythm games in Miss Newsom’s studio,
and repeated this program at assembly
Friday morning.
All of these programs were well
rendered and showed that much time
had been spent in their preparation.
April production of the Chevrolet
Motor Company was 106,096 cars and
trucks, more than 20,000 units above
the original schedule for the month
and within a few thousand units of
the output in May, 1930, the biggest
production month of last year, W. S.
Knudsen, president and general man-
ager, announced today.
The April output falls only 4,000
units below the comparable figure for
April, 1930, which was one of the two
biggest months of 1930, and compares
with 79,603 cars and trucks built in
March this year, Mr. Knudsen said.
The output for the month just
ended was the first in eleven months
that crossed the 100,000 mark. Re-
peated increases in schedules had to
be made during April to keep produc-
tion in step with the demands of the
sales department, as dealer commit-
ments were increased to meet the op-
ening up of retail outlets.
While no schedule for May was an-
nounced, it is understood that the com-
pany expects to maintain the present
high rate of output for at least the
current month, with prospects excell-
ent for running ahead of last year’s
production during the later spring and
summer months.
As a result of the schedule increases
during April, a full six day week, in-
cludng Saturday aftrenoons, had to be
maintained at certain assembly points.
All plants of the company are now
opreating on a normal average of five
and one-haf days a week. Employ-
ment increased 1,500 men in the
month, bringing the current payrolls
to above 35,000 men, working on an
average week of fifty hours.
April output is believed to have led
the industry, and placed Chevrolet in
j the position of the world’s largest
j manufacturer. A comparable position
has been maintained in the domestic
passenger car market, where for the
past four months for which registra-
tion figures are available Chrevrolet
sixes led all other makes of passenger
cars.

CARD OF THANKS
We take ths method of thanking our
kind friends for the many kindnesses
shown us in the passing of our dear
daughter and sister. Each floral trib-
ute, each word spoken and the many
expressions of sympathy helped to
lessen our burden in the going of one
who had made life so sweet for us all.
We pray the richest blessings of
God, who understands all and who
alone is able to assuage our grief, will
be visited upon each and every one
of you. Especially do we want to thank
those who accompanied the body to its
final resting place.
W. O. Rolater and Family.
A SUGGESTION FROM McADOO.
While many of the national demo-
cratic leaders are floundering around
for an issue to go before the people in
1932, we believe that William G. Mc-
Adoo, former secretary of the treas-
ury in the Wilson cabinet, has come
nearer hitting the spot than any other
man who has been called on for a sug-
gestion.
Among other things he is quoted as
saying: “When we reflect that there
must be an average of at least two
dependent persons on each of the six
million unemployed, we can get some
idea of the magnitude of the problem
which these eighteen million people,
largely without means of existence,
presents to the country.
Rather than quarrel over prohibi-
tion, the party should devote ftself, if
entrusted with power, to a solution
not only of unemployment, but agricul-
tural problems, effective regulation of
trusts and monoplies, and a system of
unemployment insurance and old age
pensions.”
We can not conceive that any rea-
sonable person, looking over the sit-
uation, can believe that the present
republican administration has been a
success, and if there ever was a time
when a sound, economical, efficient ad-
ministration of the national govern-
ment is needed, it is now. The na-
tional democratic party has a
great opportunity, and while we
may not agree with some of the
suggestions of Mr. McAdoo, he is
eminently correct in his suggestions
that the party drop the quarrel on pro-
hibition and give its attention to bring-
ing the country out of the mire into
which it has been calapulted by Pres-
ident. Hoover and those representing
the party in power.—S-herman Demo-
crat.
