Raiders Knocked,
Door Was Locked,

A meeting was held at the Cham-
ber of Commerce offices Thursday
for the purpose of making ar-
rMwfrients for a complete census of
daflp cattle in Titus County for next
Wednesday. There was a good at-
tendance present, and everyone was
enthusiastic over the proposition of
working for a milk plant here.
± Committees were appointed to visit
~ all of the school districts in the en-
tire county to work in co-operation
with the trustees of the schools, all
of whom have been notified by let-
ter that the committees are coming.
The object of the census is to find
out exactly how many milk producing
cows there are in Titus County, so
that concrete facts may be presented
to the Texas Milk Products Company,
which is contemplating placing an-
other plant in this section to work in
connection with their plants at Mar-
shall and Tyler.
Lo-operation has been promised in
Camp, Franklin, and Morris Couties,
and questionnaires are being sent to
various towns in those counties for a
•census of their territory.
Those who will visit the schools of
the county next Wednesday are as fol-
lows:
Monticello—Geo. Lilienstern.

| Waco, March 28.—Constable W. B.
Mobley and Deputy Constable D. L.
j Tiner, armed with search warrant,
prepared to make a raid on a South
j Waco home Wednesday afternoon, but
ia lone woman occupant of the house
saw them coming.
Every door of the house was bari'ed
tight and all the windows were lock-
ed. The raiding officers could only
peer through a window as the wo-
man busied herself pouring 10 gal-
lons of liquid down the sink.
As the last drop of liquor disap-
peared the woman opened the front
door and asked: “Well, what do you
want?”
“Nothing,” was the officers’ reply,
“we were just calling and must be
going now.”
