LONGHORN COACH THINKS NEW KIDNAPED SPORTSMAN, HELD 5
CHANGES WILL HELP FOOTBALL DAYS SLUGS HIS WAY
-- TO LIBERTY
AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 16.—Changes -
in the football rules announced Mon- CLEVELAND, Ohio, Feb. 16._Ly-
day will be a great help to the game j ing in bed recovering from shock,
and will not cause any loss of color, j Harry H. Blagden, 45, prominent New
Clyde Littlefield, head football coach
at the University of Texas, said Tues-
day.
Benefits Increased.
The benefits that come from the
playing of a football game will be in-
creased and will accrue especially to
the players who are training and
learning the game, he stated. Respon-
sibility for success of the game will
be put on the officials, coaches, train-
ers and players more than ever be-
fore. It will do away with some of
the high pressure from outside sources
and make the game .a part of the ath-
York State sportsman, Tuesday night
told a thrilling story of how he slug-
ged his way to freedom from a gang
which held him for ransom five days.
Blagden said three men, apparently
members of .a big-time New York and
Detroit bootlegging mob, kidnaped
him. from Lake Placid, N. Y., last
Thursday night, moved him about
New York State and finally brought
him to Cleveland.
He believed he was mistaken for E.
Roland Harriman, son of the famous
railroad magnate, whose guest he was
to have been Thursday night at the
letic program and more educational in winter Olympics. Blagden operates a

its purpose, Coach Littlefield said.
The new rule that declares the ball
dead as soon as the ball carrier strikes
the ground with any part of his body
except hands and feet will be disap-
pointing, Coach Littlefield said, espe-
cially on a wet day when the car-
rier falls down and is unable to con-
tinue his advance.
Padding of all hard and unyielding
protective devices was lauded by the
Texas coach, who declared the tend-
ency heretofore had been to protect
the player wearing the devices with-
out sufficient thought about what his
equipment would do to an opponent-
Elimination of the place-kick meth-
od of placing the ball in play was
seen by Coach Littlefield as possible
result of the change in the kick-off
rule. The kick-off rule will prohibit
the use of mass interference in bring-
ing back the kick-off and will place
camp at Saranac Lake patronized by
sons of the wealthy, but he himself
is not rich, he said.
The sportsman said he beat one of
his guards into unconsciousness while
the other two were eating lunch. Dis-
heveled and exhausted, he walked the
streets until passers-by told him he
was in Cleveland and gave him direc-
tions to the home of Claude Peck,
a friend.
Soon after his abduction, Blagden
said he was administered a narcotic
in beer he was forced to drink, taken
to Albany, N. Y., in a large sedan,
held there until early Saturday, taken
to Syracuse in a bus and finally driv-
en to Cleveland in a small closed
truck. Five men, all armed, met his
three captors in Albany.
While in Albany he said he was
forced to write a letter to his bro-
ther, Thomas, demanding $1,000 for
a premium on good punting, Littlefield ; his release. Thomas Blagden kept the
pointed out. If a team has a good
punter it probably will abandon. the
place-kick style.
Protects Players.
Better protection of players will re-
sult from the substitution rule that
will permit a player to return at any
time during the game, he said. “Some
good players have been allowed to
continue in the game when not in the
best physical condition because when
once taken from the game they could
not rturn,” Coach Littlefield stated.
The new blocking and tackling rules
and the rule against the use of hands
on the head, face or neck of an op-
ponent by defense players will elimi-
nate much of the unnecessary rough-
ness, he believed. Better and more
scientific blocking will follow enforce-
ment of the rules, Coach Littlefield
said.

These beautiful ideals for children
originated in Czechoslovakia. They
have been taken up in other coun-
tries and are on the bulletin boards
of countless schools:
1. Love your schoolmates; they will
be your companions for life and work.
2. Love instruction, the food of the
spirit. Be thankful to your teachers
as to your own parents.
3. Consecrate every day by one
good useful deed and kindness.
4. Honor all honest people; esteem
men but humble yourself before no
man.
5. Suppress all hatred and beware
of insulting your neighbor; be not
revengeful but protect your own rights
and those of others. Love justice and
bear pain and misfortune courageous-
ly.
6. Observe carefully and reflect
well in order to get at truth. Deceive
not yourself or others and beware of
lying, for lies destroy the heart, the
soul, and the character. Suppress
passions and radiate love and peace.
7. Consider that animals also have
a right to your sympathy and do not
harm them or tease. i
8. Think that all good is the re-
sult of work; he who enjoys without
working is stealing bread from the
Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Goodwin and
9. Call no man a patriot who hates
or has contempt for other nations, or
who wishes and approves wars. War
is the remains of barbarism.
10. Love your country and your na-
tion but be co-workers in the high
task that shall make all men live to-
gether like brothers in peace and
j happiness.

DECLINE IN
DAIRY
PRICES FORECAST
(Dallas News)
Continued large production and
weak demand are certain to react
eventually in lowering dairy product
prices, P. H. Stephens, agricultural
economist of Oklahoma A. & M. Col-
lege, points out in the February issue
of Current Farm Economics. The fact
that dairy prices have been high, re-
lative to other farm products, is a
powerful force tending to stimulate
production beyond the needs of con-
sumers, he says.
Consumption of all dairy products
in the United States in 1931 was
slightly more than 1 per cent larger
than in 1930, a rate of increase ap-
proximately the same as that of our
population. Butter consumption was
2 per cent larger, while cheese con-
sumption decreased 1.4 per cent. Can-
ned milk consumption was only
slightly less than in 1930.
Very low prices this spring are per-
haps necessary to bring about ad-
justment of dairy production to con-
sumption demand, Mr. Stephens says,
but he suggests that improvement in
employment conditions and the at-
tempted stimulation of business thru
the new finance corporation may im-
prove the dairy outlook later in the
year.
Daily Leader 3 Months for f 1.00
directed rendezvous with the money
Sunday, but no one appeared.
“I never was so scared in my life,”
Blagden related as he told how he
hit his lone guard in the solar plexus
with his right first, grabbed him by
the throat with his other hand, got
his hand on the man’s gun and beat
him over the head until he was un-
conscious.
Then Blagden said, he kicked thru
the doors of the truck and escaped.
AND HUSBAND
(Dallas News)
Mrs. Ferguson’s announcement for
the governorship will be a trumpet
call to Dan Moody. It makes no dif-
ference whether Moody runs for Gov-
ernor or not, he will be in the race,
his strident voice declaiming the rec-
ord which prevents James E. Fer-
guson from holding office in this
State save under the cloak of his
wife’s name. As a matter of fact
Moody will probably not be a can-
didate. He wanted' to run in 1930, but
the candidacy of Mr. Sterling pre-
vented it. He has used the interim
to recoup his personal fortunes some-
what, but it will be 1934 at least be-
fore Mr. Moody will be able to re
enter on his political career.
The opportunity, however, to keep
his name and fame fresh in the minds
of the public is invaluable to Mr.
Moody and is a boon which, if Jim
Ferguson fully appreciated it, he
would rather cut off his right hand
than grant. There is an irony indeed
in the Ferguson hatred of Moody
which moves the impeached Governor
thus to do his enemy the only favor
which remains within his power to
offer.
The Fergusons are shelf-worn poli-
tical goods in Texas by now. They
belong to a passing phase of politics,
but they insist on bringing out the
same old show wagon and in per-
forming the same old song and dance.
Discredited and rejected politically,
they still peddle their nostrums of
government, Ma with matronly dig-
nity in the cart while Pa beguiles the
crowd with medicine man ballyhoo.
It is hard to believe that Texas will
make further investment in Fer-
gusonism.

FARMERS DEMAND INCREASE
OF 2c IN TAX ON GASOLINE
(Dallas News)
A 2c increase in the gasoline tax
to make it 6c is sought in resolutions
adopted Monday afternoon at a meet-
ing of the executive committee of the
Farmers’ Union of Texas in the Jef-
ferson Hotel.
The 6c tax would be distributed, ac-
cording to the resolutions, IV2C for
schools, IV2C for highways and 3c for
State and county highway bond re-
demption.
The farmers proposed a plan also
whereby the license tax on commer-
cial motor vehicles would be equally
distributed among the counties thru
which the vehicles normally operate.
At the same time they proposed that
all automobile taxes other than the
license tax be abolished and that the
grade and analysis of gasoline be
posted along with the price at all fill-
ing stations.
Want Graded Income Tax.
The group made a strong plea for
governmental reorganization to effect
rigid economy and uniform taxation.
Among the taxation measures the
group spoke out for was a graduated
State income tax and the exemption
of homesteads from ad valorem tax-
ation.
The group warned against attempts
to change the freight rates on cotton
to Galveston, Houston and Texas City,
now equal.
In a resolution condemning chain
and corporation banking, the group
commended Melvin A. Traylor of Chi-
cago, Nathan Adams of Dallas and
James A. Smith of Paris.
Resolution swere also passed urg-
ing Government and private use of
cotton instead of jute for twine and
other possible uses.
The brief meeting was presided over
by J. D. Henderson of Munday, the
state president. It was called to plan
for the annual meeting July 12. Oth-
ers who attended were C. V. Steves,
executive committee chairman! J. E.
Edwards, scretary; Pete Loran, Sam
Warren, N. R. Darsey and Joe Keo-
nig, executive committeemen, and
James W. Stell and H. J. Guyer, mem-
bers of the legislative committee.
The union hopes to increase its
membership to 500,000 by 1933, Mr.
Edwards said in announcing a new
membership drive.
Although the fee system was dis-
cussed, no action was taken by the
committee.
TECH BOARD PROBES
CHARGE OF ATHEISM
SPUR, Feb. 17.—Clifford B. Jones,
chairman of the board of directors
of the Texas Technological college,
said Tuesday an investigation was be-
ing made by three members of the
board into the charge of Rev. R. C.
Campbell, pastor of the First Baptist
church here, that college faculty mem-
bers were teaching atheism.
General John iA. Hulen of Fort
Worth, railroad executive, is chairman
of the committee, other members of
which are John W. Carpenter of Dal-
las and Roscoe Wilson of Lubbock.
The committee will report its find-
ing at a meeting of the board later

* Ever Stop To Think? ^
^ if if if _____ if if. # ft
(By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Okla.)
That business concerns that are
selling something of ° everything, but
not enough of anything should turn
their attention to better advertising.
The( right kind of advertising stimu-
lates business.
Truthful, persistent advertising gets
the attention of the readers and sets
their thoughts moving in the direc-
tion of the merchandise or service ad-
vertised in a way that brings results.
Advertising holds customers, makes
new ones, and turns fussy customers
into satisfied customers.
The modern business concern knows
that good advertising is worthy of
the thoughts of all thoughtful people
and they read them item by item,
because they show the way to great-
er savings.
People realize that the business
concerns whose names they find in
the advertising columns have left;
nothing undone to carry in stock the
finest merchandise that is possible to
be produced for the price asked.
The scheme of life is so arranged
that some have merchandise and need
cash while others have cash and need
merchandise. Advertising provides
the opportunity for them to meet.
The motive power of any business
is truthful advertising. It is the great
service that brings together the buy-
er and seller for their mutual benefit.
Advertising cultivates the habit of
steady saving and has started mil-
lions of people on the road to finan-
cial freedom.

We wish you could have seen him'.-
He helped count out 16,420 eggs, test-
ed 53 gallons of cream, passed out
cigars to the men, smiled at the la-
dies, hugged and kissed all the kid-^
dies and sold groceries and told our
customers how he would appreciate
their votes—at his spare time. It
was a great day down at the gin. We
bought 3,100 more eggs Saturday
than the biggest day last year. OnlyT
one man went away and he wanted’
10c for his eggs and we couldn’t standi
it as we pay all our customers the
same price. We are proud of our*
customers—why shouldn’t we be?
They are something to be proud of.—
