Commerce, Feb. 19.—Miller Grove,
Hopkins County’s representative* In
the District 13 Basketball Tourna-
ment, dropped by the wayside in a
figat round game here Friday after-
noon, losing to the Paris Wildcats in
a 32 to 12 melee. The Hopkins Coun-
ty Champs had difficulty hitting the
basket. They scored only 3 points in
the first snd 9 in the final quarters.
They failed to score either in the
second or third period.
Paris's club played a hurtling type
of ball. Their tall center batted sever-
al backboard rebounds into the hoop
as he headed the scoring attack.
Klondike, Delta County, nosed out
Jennings, Lamar County, in an 18 to
15 clash. Neither team exhibited
much strength. Emory, Rains County,
won a 23 to 16 game from Hickory
Creek, Hunt County, to advance to
the semi-finals, while the Gober
Plowboy* of Fannin County flashed a
ln.t-half scoring form to beat out
Greenville, 25 to 15. The Greenviilj
quinj, battled the favored Gober team
on even grounds during the’initial
half of the tilt, and were leading hy
ah 11 to 10 score at the midway rest
period. Coming back after the half,
the Plowboy* scored 15 points and
held Greenville to 4.
EU HARGRAVE
VISITS OLD FRIEND,
J. E. STRIBLING
I have just been out to visit a little
while with our good fiiend, Dr. John
Striblijig, and he looks fine and
seems'to be doing well. Tho he al-
ways claim* he’s not doing any good.
But I’ll tell you where I think his
main trouble is, and other of hi*
friends are of the same opinion. He's
being spoiled to death by his faithful
“nurses" and good lady friends. Of
course it's nice and one can naturally
judge thut It would make a fellow-
feel mighty good to be showered and
fairly covered up by beautiful blo<-
softiing flowers snd surrounded by-
all kinds of cookies and goodies to
eat that he claims has been brought
in to him hy lady friends, never a
gentleman, and he refuses to divide
them with hia folks. Now I einim he
is being spoiled and made rotten and1
will be fit for nothin* from now on
out. He even turns down good eats
ut the hands of his gentlemen fronds
and I wager a dime to a doughnut
if a ludy friend hands him a scaley-
bark hickory nut he’ll do his best to
break it with his teeth, Now is not
going to get out so long as this con-
tinues and I think he has his mind
made up that way. He sits up looking
pink and ruddy with his face pow-
dered and his hair sleek and reached
back, and you ought to see h^m smile
»t that feminine bunch. We advise
no more doctol-s for him till this
treatment is changed.—Eli Hargrave,
Austin, Tex**.—The House voted
Thursday night, 65 to 58, to permit
John K. Russell of Cleburne to re-
tain his seat in that body. Russell’*
right to it had been challenged by
former Representative E. E. Hunt-
er of Cleburne, who alleged irregu
larities in the Democratic- runoff pri-
mary last summer.
One of Hunter’s main contention*
was that the Keene box was Kept
open after 7 p. m., the closing hour
fixed by law, in order to permit
Seventh-Day Adventists to vote.
M»ny members of that sect feel they
should not vote until after sundown
on Saturday, which is their Sabbath.
After hours of testimony and ar-
guments, W. 0. Reed of Dallas, rep-
resenting Hunter, moved that the
sea't be declared vacant so another
election might be held. J. Carroll
McConnell of Palo Pinto, represent-
ing Russell,. offered a substitute that
Russell retain the seat. The substi-
tute prevailed on a secret ballot.
Russell’s majority in the runoff
primary was eleven votes, Jf js mar-
gin in the Keene box was eighteen,
The ballots from the Keene box
were taken before the house in a
large sealed sack. J. Frank Clark,
Johnson County Clerk, said in a dep-
osition that he found them in that
condition after he took office Jan.
1.
Reed protested against "the most
sacred thing the public has" being in
a towsack instead of in locked boxes.
Russell testified that the people pf
Johnson County had said three times
they wanted him to represent them
in the Legislature. He said he led
the ticket at the first primary, won
in the runoff, then defeated Hunter
ore than 5 to 1 in the general elec-
tion after Hunter had conducted a
write-in campaign.
Replying to Hunter’s charge that
he avoided service in a court content
of the nomniation, Russell said he
went to Hot Springs, Ark., for his
health in September but was in pub-
lic place-! in Texas, where he could
easily have been found after the suit
was filed.

Kanab, Utah.—“If any one eve*-
tries to feed me salmon again I’ll
shoot ’em.’’
That was the first observation of
Carl Cox, former national puik ran-
ger, as he Snd his wife arrived here
today after being rescued from their
snowbound ranch at Vt Park, eight-
een miles south of Jacobs Lake, Ariz.
They were brought out of the
snow-covered country where for
eight week* they had been maroon-
ed in a small cabin.
Despite the long period of isola-
tion; neither suffered any ill effects.
Mrs. Cox, an expectant mother,
was exhausted from the long trip to
Kanab and nervous from the ten-
sion of the tedious wait for rescue.
She retired immediately, leaving her
husband to recount their experi-
e nces.
“All we had left to eat when the
tractor arrived was some salmon
anti popcorn," Cox said. "Our sup-
plies haij been dwindling away for
weeks, but mon passing on snow-
shoes left us a little food and we
were aide to get along. But I don't
want to see any more salmon."
Never before has there been such
a snow in the Arizona strip, nortn
of the Grand Canyon, Cox said. The
fall since Christmas Eve totaled
fourteen feet, it leveled off to six or
eight feet. It would snow every two
or three days, filling up the paths I
tried to keep open around the
ranch.”
‘‘The worst part about being ma-
rooned out in that country is the
sense of insecurity it gives you,"
Cox declared. “The fear of not be-
ing able to get out is pretty had."

Washington, Feb. 20. — Hearings
came to a close before the House
Committee on Agriculture Friday on
the bill by* Representative Marvin
Jones, chairman, and other measures
dealing with farm tWiangy. The com-
mittee hopes to report a revised
measure soon that will carry out
President Roosevelt’s recommenda-
tions in meeting the problem. The
Jones bill is a duplicate of the bill
introduced in the Senate by Senator
John Bankhead of Alabama. Anoth-
er Senate bill on the subject was in-
troduced by Senator Tom Connally
of Texas. " .
The Texas Senator appeared be-
fore the House Committee in support
of general provisions which, he said,
are necessary if the program is to
work successfully for rural home
ownership. He stressed the necessity
of making the interest rate small and
suggested a maximum.of 2 per cent.
Urgus Low Interest Rate.
“Even if the Government does
chose between the Interest it has to
pay for money and the interest
charged on the pruposed tiansae
tions," said Senator Connally. “the
public investment will be more than
worth it. In Texas many tenant* i!q
not buy farm* because it is cheaper
for them to continue as renters. You
have to lower the interest rates he
pays, to less than he gets out of the
soil to make the plan successful.”
It is essential, he added, that the
Government put enough in the pro-
gram to give it a complete trial in
every State. The Jones-Bankhead bill
proposes $50,000,000 snd the Con-
nally bill provides for one billion dol-
lars, which is a pledge that the Gov-
ernment is going to do .more than
"just scratch around like the reset-
tlement plan doe#,” he said.
3o*k* Local Application.
The legislation ought to adopt the
policy of not buying a man more land
than necessary for him to make a
living, he *aid. If the tenant is load-
ed up with more land than he ran
or will work and handle, he is head-
ed for trouble, Connally said.
The Texas Senator urgeij that the
purchase program be placed in the
hands of local committees in each
county to pas* on the applications,
and that it should include tenants
who have been successful farmers.
“That would be an example to oth-
er and less fortunate tenants," said
Senator Connally. "These commit-
tees should be balanced by including
a businessman and one or two lead-
ing farmers Tcho are—successful in'
their operations. We will have to
give the tenants inducements in the
matter of interest rates and other
conditions so that they can profit-]
ably operate^ir the plan will fail be-
fore it starts.”
Representative l.uther Johnson of
the Corsicana district, whp lias in-
troduced the Connally bill in the
House, endorsed what the Senator
had said, and added that he did not
favor making tenants whom the ad-
ministration is seeking to help,
ward* of the Government. Neither
did he favor putting them in colo-
nies. Mr. Johnson said that care
