DEATH OF CHILD LAID TO ( ALLRED BACK AT DESK
POISON BORNE BY APPLE FOLLOWING VACATION
An- apple that 2-year-old Derral
Wayne Edwards ate just before his
afternoon nap a week ago carried a
poison that caused his death Saturday
night. He was the son of Ml*, and
Mrs. M. M. Edwards, 3012 Morton St.
The fruit, purchased from a ped-
dler, carried an insecticide which
probably had b<?en used in spraying
apple trees.
The child awoke after sleeping
about an hour and complained of feel-
ing ill. That was on Friday afternoon
a week ago. On Saturday he was
stricken with convulsions and was
rushed to the hospital.
He seemed to improve gradually
during /the week and last Saturday
just a short time before his death ap-
peared to be feeling much better. He
asked for his sister Lucile and his
brother Marion.
. Shortly afterward he was stricken
fatally with convulsions.—Fort Worth
Star-Telegram.

AUSTIN, Nov. 23.—James V. All-
red, Texas attorney general, returned
to his office today after an absence
that started with filing of ouster suits
against 15 major oil companies for
alleged anti-trust law violations.
He said he spent the time on a
ranch near Del Rio.
“I had been working on the peti-
tion carrying allegations against the
oil companies almost exclusively at
night, until I was almost completely
worn out by loss of sleep,” he said.
He was going through a large stack
of letters and telegrams containing
expressions on the attorney general’s
action in suing the oil corporations.
“Most of them said they believed
the suit should have been brought.
In fact, there were only two or three
criticizing us for our action,” Attor-
ney General Allred said. “As for
myself, I was thoroughly convinced
the suit should be filed.”
COTTON CONTROL CONFERENCE
ADOPTS TEXAS PLAN ,
Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Hunt are here
from Brownsville and will spend a
few days on their ranch west of town.
JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 23.—The
southwide uniform cotton control con-
ference late today adopted the Texas
curtailment plan, calling for approxi-
mately 50 per cent reducation in
planting in 1S32 and 1933, as its rec-
ommendation for relief legislation in
ail the southern states.
Ten of the 11 cotton producing
states represented here cast their
votes for Texas plai to boost prices
in the face of this year’s bumper crop.
North Carolina’s delegation was in-
structed not to vote.
The resolution adopted by the con-
ferers, seeking uniform legislation
throughout the south, was recom-
mended by a special committee com-
posed of two representatives from
each state, which wrestled for hours
behind closed doors on the best plan
for all legislatures to adopt.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Nov. 23.—The
Arkansas ninety-day divorce law was
definitely declared in effect, by a de-
cision of the State Supreme Court
Monday.
By a 5 to 2 vote of the Justices, the
court upheld Secretary of State Ed
F. McDonald in refusing to accept
petitions from the House Protective
Association for a referendum in the
next general election in an effort to
repeal the law.
If a referendum had been ordered,
the law, passed by the State Legisla-
ture early this year, would have been
held in abeyance until voted upon.
Several divorce cases under the new
ninety-day residence requirements al-
ready are pending, most of, them at
Hot Springs. No decrees have been
granted because of the uncertainty
resulting from the legal fight on the
law.
The new law requires ninety days’
residence within the State before a
decree can be obtained, although pro-
ceedings maj'' be instituted after sixty
j days’ residence.
Petitioners must prove the cause of
i divorce occurred • of existed in this
■ State, or if out of the State’, that-it
! "vVas a' legal cause of divorce in this
State. ’ ■
i Pat Mehaffey, Assistant State At-
ijjtorney General, said that judging
y j from the number of inquiries being re-
ceived at the Attorney Generals of-
fice, several hundred divorce petitions
would be filed immediately in the j
State as a result of the court decision.
One Little Rock lawyer, he said,
has 200 cases. ready to file and an-
other has 100. Hot Springs lawyers
also were reported to be ready to file
numerous cases there.
TOP PRICES FOR TURKEYS!
That’s what farmers received who
marketed through our association.
The second check mailed out at the
close of the Thanksgiving Pool, Nov.
16, netted the producer 19c per lb. on
No. 1 young toms and hens; 16c on
old toms; arid 13c on No. 2 turkeys.
When these turkeys were delivered
by the producer, he received a cash
advance of 12c per pound. Approxi-
mately one-quarter million pounds
were handled in this pool, of which
less than 2% were No. 2’s.

PRINCE WINS OUT OYER
KING CAROL OYER WIFE
VIENNA, Nov. 23.—King Carol of
Rumania had been persuaded today
to let bis brother, Prince Nicholas,
keep his pleabean wife and would
merely forbid their attending any
state function together, said dispatch-
es from Bucharest by way of Prague.
The king stormed and fumed, the
dispatches said, when two of his min-
isters took sides against him, but he
ultimately accepted their counsel.
He had intended forcing one of three
equally unacceptable measures upon
the prince, who married Mme. Jana
Lucia Deletj against the royal wishes.
Those measures were that either Nich-
olas would have to renounce the mar-
riage, be stripped of his royal privi-
leges or live abroad in exile.

TRIAL IS CONTINUED
IN WACO SLAYING
WACO, Nov. 23.—The absence of
defense witnesses today resulted in
continuance until February 1, of the
trial of William C. Beck, 19, charged
with slaying O. L. Jones, Waco auto-
mobile salesman.
Defense attorneys, in their motion
for a continuance, named several wit-
nesses who were expected to testify
as. to the defendant’s sanity.
One was Dr. W. G. Campbell of the
University of California at Los- An-
geles, formerly connected with the
University of Texas. Attorneys said
Dr. Campbell had examined the de-
fendant at the time he was a Uni-
versity of Texas student.
, Jones was shot to death on the
highway seven miles north of Waco
and robbed of a purse containing $2.
Officers said the defendant has ad-
mitted the shooting, allegedly with
robbery as a motive.
Beck was alleged to have told of
being given a ride by Jones, who was
driving from Dallas to Waco.

SCHOOL BIBLE READING
ADVOCATES LOSE APPEAL
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—Advo-
cates of Bible reading in Washington
state schools today again failed to
persuade the Supreme Court to take
up their arguments.
The state courts held the State Con-
stitution excluded Bible reading and
teaching from the public schools.
George I. Clitjhero of Seattle and oth-
ers appealed to the Supreme Court,
but it said the case presented no‘fed-
eral question.
In re-presenting their plea passed
upon today, Clithero and his associ-
ates said a principal reason for law-
lessness was failure to instruct school
children in the teachings of the Bible.
R. L. Northington came in Monday
evening from Temple and reports that
his little daughter, Beulah Dell, is
getting along nicely at a hospital in
that city but will not return home
for a week or ten days yet. Mrs.
Northington is in Temple with the
daughter.
MEN, REARED AS GIRLS, ASK
COURT TO CHANGE NAMES
ANDERSON, Ind., Nov. 21.—Two
fully grown brothers, who said they
had been reared from birth as girls,
have applied for a judicial decree of-
ficially designating them as men.
The brothers, Nola Lee and Ge-
neva Armstrong, 31 and 33, respec-
tively, filed a petition in the circuit
court asking permission to assume the
Christian names of Noel and Gene.
In effect, attorneys said, the action
asked the court to designate their
sex as masculine.
The story was that their mother,
who had six sons, longed for a daugh-
ter and masqueraded the two boys as
girls until her death. The brothers
said in their petition that she dressed
them in feminine clothing to satisfy
her maternal craving. Until their
mother’s death seven years ago the
two boys had never worn masculine
clothes.
Some of the more intimate friends
of the family were aware of their
dual life, but there were others who
actually believed them to be gix-ls.
Among the most astonished persons
when the secret was revealed was Ar-
thur Call, an Anderson attorney, who
filed the petition. He had visited the
Armstrong home several times and
had always regarded Geneva and Nola
as girls. When they called on him
dressed as men, he did not recognize
them until the situation was ex-
plained.

LOCAL STORE ANNOUNCES-
CHANGE «-»
It has been the privilege of our
store to serve continuously the people
of Lampasas and her trade territory
for thirty-two years. We have tried
to give every service to our customers
that it is possible for • a good drug
store to render. If we have been in-
strumental in serving our customers,
the people of this section, in the re-
lief of suffering and distress by care-
ful attention to their needs, then our
service has not been in vain.
tn times of prosperity and in times-,
of national and local depression it has
been our desire to fill our place hon-
estly and fairly, as an institution
serving the needs of the people.
At this season of Thanksgiving we
wish to express our thanks for the
patronage given us, and the confidence
in us during these years. We have
many things to he thankful for.
We have at all times, supplied de-
pendable merchandise, honestly pri-
ced to each customer, showing the
same consideration to all. In keep-
ing step with the financial and eco-
nomical trend of the times we find it
advisable to change our present plan
of extensive charge accounts to a cash
business. The previous system of
credit renders the best service impos-
sible. We cannot afford to discrim-
inate among our patrons, therefore
we make this change, believing we
may render a better service by elim-
inating the added expenses incident,
to extensive charge accounts.
The accounts outstanding will be
closed as early as possible and in this
respect we ask your cooperation. We
respectfully solicit your continued
patronage, and we will have, as al-
ways, Service with a Smile, Day or
Night, Rain or Shine. Please call ois
us at any time.
