Many hearts in this community
were made sad when the news flashed
over the wires Saturday at noon that
Scott Garner had died in the home
of Walter Bounds at Brownwood. Mr.
Garner was a pioneer of this com-
munity, well known and liked by ev-
ery one. His daughter, Mrs. R. S.
Butts and other relatives here have
our deepest sympathy.
The school children are all very
busy this week preparing for the
county meet Friday and Saturday.
We are hoping a number of them re-
turn with ribbons.

One of Insull’s counsel here said
he planned to remain at sea, secure
from American extradition, until
April 20—“or perhaps longer.”
The lawyer denied Insull was go-
ing to Abyssinia, little known king-
dom of Ethiopians in norther Africa.
He also declined to give any further
information because “my client’s life
might be dangered.” He declined
even to say what he meant by that.
It was believed Insull may ulti-
mately seek refuge on the border line
of Persia and Mesopotamia.
There, it was known, the brother
of Mrs. Couyoumjorlu, wife of a Bag-
dad merchant who aided in attending
Insull during his illness in Athens,
owns property.
A dispatch from Port Said stated
it was understood port authorities had
received orders from the Egyptian
government not to allow Insull to
land if he arrived.
A SURE COTTON CROP
Mr. Farmer—you are cutting down
your acreage. Plant the best seed
from Chapman Ranch pedigreed and
State Certified Cotton Planting Seed.
I need a man in each community in
county to take orders. Some one
living in Bend, Lometa, Adamsville,
Rumley, Kempner, etc. Encourage
your neighbors to plant only the best
of all kinds seeds. Order at once.—

LOCKJAW IS DANGEROUS
land of the senate agriculture com-
Imittee.
I) Senator Bankhead (D. Ala.) a co-
I author, said the house bill was accep-
table to him and indicated it would
[be substituted for the senate meas-
ure.
Even the most ardent proponents
were surprised at the big majority
that rolled up on the record vote.
Chairman Jones (D. Texas) of the
agriculture committee, said he had
been afraid of the probable outcome
in view of the bitter debate it aroused
I last week.
| Twenty-eight democrats and 86 re-
publicans voted against the bill, while
238 democrats, eight republicans and
| five farmer-laborites answered “aye.”
Speaker Rainey cast his vote for the
bill. Two democrats, Doughton of
[North Carolina and Gray of Indiana,
voted present.
The obill had been before the house
week. Amendments adopted in-
cluded one striking out a section to
authorize the president to enter trade
agreements with foreign cotton pro-
ducing countries on how much of the
staple could be exported.
The measure is designed to pre-
vent an increase in production by
fertilizing and other methods under

(From State Health Department)
Every year there are about one
hundred and fifty deaths in Texas
from lockjaw, according to Dr. John
W. Brown, State Health Officer. Most
of these deaths have resulted from
the most trivial or minor wounds or
injury. Only recently a small child
died from a small wound caused by
a splinter being stuck in the toe.
Lockjaw or tetanus patients die an
agonizing death following frequent
convulsions, which are set forth by
the slightest stimulation to the cen-
tral nervous system. The slamming
of a door or the slightest noise may
cause a patient to have violent con-
vulsions. Stiffening of the muscles
in the jaw is one of the first symp-
toms, and it is from this fact that
the disease gets its name of lockjaw.
Puncture wounds, such as those re-
sulting from sticking a nail or thorn
in the foot or hand, are the most
dangerous. The reason for this is
that the tetanus germs can thrive
only in a wound that is closed or in
the presence of other germs that use
up the air present. Tetanus germs
do not thrive in the open air.
The prevention of lockjaw depends
upon the proper care of all minor
injuries. Closed wounds should be
made open wounds and kept thor-
oughly clean. Anti-tetanus serum
should be given after a puncture
wound; gun powder wounds are also,
frequently followed by lockjaw. The
period of time for the disease to
develop in .man is usually from six
to fourteen days, according to the
amount of infection. In man, with
a short period of incubation, six days
or less, the disease is almost always
fatal. With a longer period, the dis-
ease is usually milder and the chances
for recovery greater.

CHURCH OF CHRIST
FORT WORTH, March 19.—A
band of robbers held up the Grand
Prairie State Bank at 10:30 o’clock
this morning and are believed hiding
in Fort Worth. One of them is a wo-
man.
The bank was robbed of an un-
determined amount of money by three
men who locked the president and
two employes in a vault. A man and
woman waited on the outside while
the holdup was in progress.
J. F. Waggoner, the president;
Tom Yeager, a clerk, and Miss Maude
Crawford, bookkeeper, were in the
bank when a man appeared at a back
window with a gun in hand and or-
dered them to “remain where you
are.”
Simultaneously, two armed men ap_
peared at the front door and herded
the three people into the vault. One
of the men scooped up the money and
put it in a pillow case. While the
robbery was in progress a customer
entered the bank. He, too, was placed
in the vault.
Three miles west of Grand Prairie
the robbers changed to a red sedan
and last were seen driving about
two miles east of the Fort Worth
city limits.

NUDISTS MAY SETTLE

FRANKFORT, Ky., March 20.—
Nudist colonies may settle in Ken-
tucky, in accordance with a bill that
became a law Monday. But they
must build 20-foot walls of brick,
stone or concrete around their prem-
ises and pay the state an annual lic-
ense fee of $1,000.
Governor Ruby Laffoon permitted
the measure to become a law with-
out his approval or disapproval. A
nudist colony would be required to
keep a register of its inhabitants
which would be open to the inspec-
tion of state officials.
The legislature rejected all amend-
ments, including those which would
have allowed gates and windows in
the 20-foot walls.
“They can use a ladder,” com-
mented Henry H. Allen, democrat of
Meade County, sponsor of the meas-
ure.
A WARNING—LAMPASAS PEOPLE
The brewery and saloon interests
are doing all they can to put intoxi-
cating drinks back in every commun-
ity in our nation. Yes they say they
only want beer at' first, but, just wait
until you are in the grasp of this
awful evil again. I call upon the
good law-abiding people of Lampasas
county to go to the polls next Satur-
day and cast your vote against putting
Lampasas in the wet and red column
of this awful curse. To the ladies of
Lampasas county, you have the right
to vote now and if you will go quiet-
ly and cast your vote against this
curse of your children and loved ones
Lampasas will not be in the red
column. I talked with one Lampasas
lady a few days ago. She said, “I
wish my husband would quit drink-
ing. I do not know where he is
tonight, and whiskey has almost ruin-
ed his business.” If you open the
beer saloons in Lampasas you will
be guilty of the crimes committed by
people under the influence of liquor.
In the name of Christianity, good gov-
ernment knd the home, I ask “what
will your answer be?” Yours truly.

Nature Thought of
Everything v
Nature thought of everything when
the human body was made. When the
body is about to become ill. nature
planned danger signals to warn us.
Thus, if our children grind then; teeth
when they sleep, or lack appetitet or
suffer from abdominal pains, or itch
about the nose and fingers, we shoultv
know that they may have contracted
worms. Then, if we are wise, we buy a
bottle of White’s Cream Vermifuge and
safely and surely expel the worms. Thus
we avoid the danger of very senous
trouble. White’s Cream Vermifuge costs
only 35c a bottle, and can be bought from
