GIRL OIL MILLIONAIRE
WON’T QUIT $125 JOB
Breckenridge, Texas, March 19.—
Miss Elsie Hardin, 19, returned to her
desk in the county clerk’s office here
Monday morning after returning on
Monday morning from Smackover,
Ark., where she has a 45-acre tract of
land valued conservatively at $2,000,-
000 as a result of the coming in of
the Burton gusher last week for 60,-
000 barrels on one line of her land,
and the Vitex gusher gauging 40,000
barrels daily on the other.
Five wells started drilling on her
land last week and she refused a num-
ber of fortunes for her holdings in the
last few days.
“I like my work and will continue
as a stenogarpher,” she said as she
raced her fingers over the keyboard
of her typewriter again Monday after-
noon.
She receives $125 a month as a ste-
nographer.

AUSTIN MAYOR DEFEATED
Austin, Texas, March 19.—In an un-
usually quiet municipal primary held
'here today, George V.-Lansdowne de-
feated Mayor W. B. Yett by a vote of
2,070 to 1,811. Six of the seven vot-
ing boxes of the city had reported at
12 o’clock Monday night. Four coun-
cilmen, the four high men, who were
not aligned with either of the can-
didates for Mayor are: Harry W.
Nolan, 2,525; George P. Fearight, 2,-
382; H. L. Haynes, 2,197, and B. N.
Avery, 2,147. J. B. Copeland, the
present police commissioner, may get
in the race for city office to be held
in two weeks. He received 2,090 votes
in the primary.
' As there was no elimination contest,
friends of Mayor Yett are urging him
'to run in the general city election
'against Lansdowne.
TEXAS LEGISLATURE
ARE QUITTERS
The Legislature, which was called
to meet in extra session today (Thurs-
day) by Governor Neff, was in ses-
sion just one hour, the . shortest ses-
sion in the State’s history. They were
called back by the Governor for the
purpose of completing the tasks for
which the people of Texas elected to
do, but instead they adjourned and
are returning home to attend to
private business, so they say, but to
the average Texan it looks like they
just wanted to draw another mileage
account, which will amount to about
$20,000. It has come to pass, during
recent years, for the legislature to
adjourn at the close of their first 60
days, instead of staying on the job
until their labors are completed, as
they did during the days of Coke,
Roberts, Ross, Hogg, Culberson and
Campbell, even though they drew the
measly sum of $2.00 per day, after
the first 60 days, but they knew then
as they do now that that is all the
office pays and they should stay now
as they did in those days, and finish
their work. The people of Texas are
behind Governor Neff.—Comanche

BRITAIN PLANS TO PAY
' YEARLY QUOTA IN FULL
' Washington, D. C., March 19.—The
'British government is preparing to
'make the full payment for this year
under the recently negotiated refund-
ing arrangement and, according to in-
formation reaching the Treasury De-
partment Monday, will not exercise its
option to defer half of its yearly in-
stallment.
It is understood to be the intention
stf Great Britain to make its first
payment of $69,000,000 on June 15.
'This amount is half of the yearly in-
stallment of interest provided for in
the agreement the balance falling due
December 15, when payment of $23,-
'000,000 principal is expected also to
'be made.
MAN WHO SUBSISTED ON
SPOON DIET MAY DIE
Parsons, Kan., March 16.—J. A.
Malgrene, the “human ostrich” who
ate 27 spoons, may not recover from
the operation that gave up his silver
chest, physicians said Friday night.
Malgrene, a patient at the State Hos-
pital for Epileptics here, was operat-
ed on Wednesday night and the silver-
ware removed from his stomach. Fri-
day doctors reported a rising fever
and expressed fear he might die.
TEXAS PEACH CROP
WILL BE CURTAILED
Austin, Texas, March 19.—A great-
ly curtailed peach crop now is in
prospect for Texas, according to re-
ports reaching the State Department
of Markets and Warehouses, cover-
ing damage by the freeze of the last
two days.
Growers’ estimates place the dam-
age to Elbertas at from 75 per cent
to 100 per cent of the crop, which
some sections anticipating, at most, a
half crop.
A test conducted this morning at
the request of T. R. Bolin, State
marketing agent, showed 105 to 180
Elberta buds examined after thawing,
to have been killed; twenty doubtful
Und the remainder apparently unhurt.
However, possibly half of those ap-
pearing unhurt on early examination
may develop considerable injury, Mr.
Bolin declared.
This makes the second year in suc-
cession of short peach production for
Texas. Last year’s crop only pro-
duced 1,920,000 bushels, against 1921 ’s
2,200,000 bushels. The crop of 1921
was valued at approximately $3,500,-
600.
Budding sweet potatoes, represent-
ing practically 75 per cent of the
planting, were killed, as was the berry
crop of this section.
Freeze damage in the Austin spin-
ach fields was apparent Monday, the
extent as yet unknown.
GOVERNOR’S RIGHT
TO REVOKE PAROLE
UPHELD BY COURT
Washington, March 19.—The gov-
ernor of Texas has power to revoke
a parole without judicial inquiry to
determine whether the terms upon
which it was granted had been vio-
lated, the Supreme Court held today
in a case brought by Jewel Redwine.
The court affirmed the decision of
the lower courts.
Redwine, sentenced to 18 years for
murder, was paroled by the governor
in 1920.
A year later, for reasons which he
stated were “satisfactory,” Governor
Neff revoked the parole.
TWO MORE TOWNS
SEEKING COLLEGE'
Austin, Texas, March 18.—Appli- j
cations have been filed by 44 West
Texas towns with the locating board
for the Texas Technological College,
according to W. R. Nabors, secretary
of the board. The last two towns to
file were Lampasas and Buffalo Gap.
It became known Saturday that on
account of the special session of the
legislature scheduled for some time
next month, the inspection tour of
the locating committee, planned for
about May 1, will likely be deferred
until a later time. The locating
board Saturday made public a ruling
regarding the cost of land offered
the school in which it is held that
as long as the land is within the cost
specified in the state law creating
the institution and meets other re-
quirements, the board will consider
it.
This is said to mean that although
a town pays a larger sum than $150,-
000, the maximum the board can pay
under the act, as long as the land
is offered to the board for not more
than $150,000 it will be considered
acceptable by the board.
The board has sent to all towns
making application for the location
requests that all data concerning the
offers to be filed with the board not
later than April 20.
