Russian Mints Busy
Coining Gold Pieces
The following summary of the ac-
tivities of the. Russian mint has
been received by the Board of Trade
Journal :
“The Leningrad mint started
minting a fresh batch of 4,000,000
gold chervontsi on July 1. The
productivity of the mint has in-
creased to such an extent that the
whole order was carried out in a
few days. The Leningrad mint is
now able to issue 1,800,000 coins
daily. - Up to April 11, 126,500,000
rubles’ worth of small silver coins
had been minted, including the
order for 20,000,000 rubles’ worth
executed in Tendon. One hundred
million rubles’ worth of copper has
already been put into circulation.
Seven million rubles’ worth of cop-
per had been minted by the same
date, of which 4,000,000 rubles is
in circulation. The amount of paper
currency of small denomination had
decreased on April 11 from 27,000.-
000 to 17,000,000 rubles. In view
of the bulk and general inconven-
ience of copper coinage, the com-
missariat of finance proposes to is-
sue a new coinage of five, three and
two kopek values, composed of an
alloy of bronze and other metals.
The Leningrad mint has been in-
structed to prepare various samples
on the pattern of foreign coinage.”

“FIREMAN, SAVE MY CHILD”
AT THE DIXIE NEXT MONTH
When little Elmer Beery sets
fire to his little Christmas tree
and then fails to extinguish the
blaze with his little toy engine, as
he had hoped,his Swedish mamma
and papa, kick him out and we
lose sight of little Elmer Beery
as he skips away over the Swedish
horizon. Then v come several
dawns/ many of them, and here
comes big Elmer Beery down the
gang plank at, Ellis Island as
dumb as he is he soon questions
America’s' claim to the title “The
Land of the Free.” Every place
he goes he gets kicked, questioned
and quarreled with. And then
he meets tricky Sam Hatton at a
time Hatton’s finances are low.
Hatton pulls a brisk one, gets
Beery’s last dime and poor dumb
Elmer is hauled away to jail. As
rookie firemen they make a de-
cided hit w)lth the chief. Many
laughable situations arise and you
will keep laughing even after the
final fadeout. The picture is
sponsored by the McGregor Vol-
unteer Fire Department and
comes to the Dixie March, 15th
and 16th, matinee and night.
A MISAPPREHENSION.
The following may serve to
correct a misapprehension which
may exist among some of McGre-
gor’s citizenship. It may also
serve as news to others, and is at
least a plain statement which puts
the local gas company in the clear
on this point: *
THE STATE OP TEXAS,
County of McLennan.
Before me, the undersigned au-
thority, on this day personally ap-
peared A. P. Rowland, known to
me. who, being by me first duly
sworn deposes and says::
I am superintendent of the Com-
munity Natural Gas company
and as such have charge and su-
pervision of the construction in
McGregor, Texas; Mayor Edward
Walker, nor any other person, has
ever talked with me or discussed
in any manner or tried to induce
me to reduce the wages that said
company is paying its laborers in
the construction work now going
on in McGregor, Texas. In fact
no citizen has ever directly or
indirectly asked or intimated in
any way that, such wages should
he reduced and 110 one, official or
private citizen, has tried to in-
fluence me to reduce the wages
being paid in McGregor, Texas,
arid any rumor to the contrary is
utterly without foundation and
false. A. P. ROWLAND.
Subscribed and sworn to before
me by A. P. Rowland, February
15, 1928. J. H. HOOKER,
Notary Public, McLennan Coun-
ty, Texas.
A COUNTY COMMISSIONER
WHO DOES THINGS
Think ahead, summer, the tal-
cum season is coining. This week
we are offering you your choice
of several good brands of talcum.
All 25c powders, hut they will be
sold at 15c the can. Buy while
the sale is on. M. H. Evers Drug
and Pharmacy.
Phene your news to 43.
Phone your news to 43.
What we are going to say in
this, article will be heartily en-
dorsed we believe by an over-
whelming majority of the people
of the McGregor community.
There is no county official
whose duties are more exacting
or in orb critically scrutinized by
the public, than that of county
commissioner. , The reason -for
this is obvious to all, since it is
.upon the roads that a large part
of our taxes are expended and
the commissioners are held to a
strict accounting for results ob-
tained.
To be a good commissioner re-
quires not only financial ability,
but good common sense, tace, en-
gineering skill and above all, the
faculty for judging the men in-
trusted by him to carry on the
difficult work of road construc-
tion and repairing.
That Joe N. Boyd meets,all the
conditions and requirements of
the most successful commissioner,
is acclaimed by all who are fam-
iliar with his efforts and ... the
splendid things accomplished un-
der his supervision ,and diimtiom
Doubtless there are o then, com -
missioners in the county who are
to be commended for their splen-
did services, but none in our opin-
ion who . have strived harder to-
do his whole duty and conserve
the interest of all the people, than
Joe Boyd.
The road camp established at
the village of South Bosque for
the last six or eight months,, has
been removed to near the Qnebe
bridge some three or four miles
south of McGregor preparatory,
to beginning work on the Spring
Valley road wfhich will receive the
same attention accorded the
other roads in precinct 4. An-
other crew under Mr. Boyd’s dir-
ection is at work on the McGre-
gor arid Holbert Crossing road
and it too is destined at no dis-
tant day to be- a well graded and
graveled highway. Mr. Boyd is
assured of .the hearty co-operation
of the citizens living in the vic-
inity of the roads now being re-
paired. They are anxious and
willing to give personal assist-
ance in any way that will hasten
the work to completion. ' *

A man wrote to a manufacturi-
er: “Dear Sir: Please send me
a razor which you advertise for.
two dollars. I, am inclosing the
money.
“P. S. I am sorry to state I
have neglected to inclose the
money, but hope you will send
the razor anyway.”
The reply was: “Dear Sir: We
are happy to send the razor,
which we inclose.
“P. S. We are sorry to state
we have neglected to inclose the
razor, but a man with your cheek
shouldn’t need it.”
