John D. Gold, editor of The Wilson
(N. C.) Times, says:
“Consumption is absolutely essen-
tial to a recovery and a return to edY is. to C1'eate more demand for

ever so little and you will increase
the buying* 1 power of the world, and
soon consume the huge surpluses that
the Lord has placed here to feed the
people.
“Until this is done we must live
among ourselves, and the only rem-
prospcrity.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Repre-
DRYS WOULD TAKE VOTES IN
STATES WHICH WENT WET
‘Consumption turns the wheels of tentative Daniel Edward Garrett of
factories, which will put men to work,
and these in turn will increase buy-
ing power so essential and necessary
to put an end to unemployment.
' “Buying power is needed the world
over. The dollar must be deflated
or the value of silver raised in order
to increase the buying power of three-
fifths of the people of the world on
a silver basis, whose buying power
has been reduced several times by
the action of the gold standard coun-
tries in stopping the coinage of sil-
ver, which was done in 1920 when
the Federal Reserve system raised
rtfcs discount rate and called loans and
the treasury stopped the coinage of
.silver. In 1920 silver was worth $1.79
a troy ounce, and now it is worth 28
cents on a gold standard. Its reduc-
tion in buying power six times is
responsible for the economic condi-

GIFT IDEA
Houston died at his Washington res-
idence at 1:20 o’clock today follow-
ing a long illness which culminated
in a severe heart attack during the
latter part of the long session of the
present congress. His condition had
been serious since last October, and
he was surrounded by members of
his family when the end came.
The body will be sent to Houston
Wednesday after brief funeral ser-
vices at the Calvary Baptist Church
here. The services here will be con-
ducted by Rev. James Shera Mont-
gomery, chaplain of the house of
representatives.
Burial will be at Houston Friday
after further services there.
Mrs. Garrett will be accompanied
on the trip to Houston by Mr. and
Mrs. Jesse H. Jones and the official
congressional delegation.
The body will arrive at Houston
on the Missouri Pacific railroad, at
11:50 a. m. Friday.
Funeral services under Masonic
auspices will be conducted Friday
afternoon at the South Main Baptist
Church.
Representative Garrett was com-
pleting his eighth term in congress
and had been re-elected for the ninth
term while receiving treatment in

He was removed from the hospital
to his home on November 11, after
having remained there since Oct. 15.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—A decis-
ion to seek a new vote in States
where prohibition laws were repudi-
ated in the recent elections was made
Tuesday by the national board of
trustees of the AntLSaloon League.
The vote will be sought whenever
it is legally possible to regain the
status of any and all dry laws hit
by referenda.
The board met to draft a general
policy for the league in the fight
against repeal or modification of dry
laws.
The determination to have States
vote again where they have upset
prohibition laws is a return to dry
strategy of fifteen years ago when
votes on prohibition were demanded
by the drys as frequently as was le-
gally possible.
Another move decided on by the
board was the organization of a com-
mittee of one man and one woman in
each voting precinct throughout the
nation to get dry voters to the polls
and inform them on the prohibition
stand of candidates.
This program will be carried out
in cooperation with other dry organi-
zations, but will not be contingent
upon the attitude of other organiza-
tions.
States which were listed in dry
sources as having turned aside from
state enforcement and destined to get
special attention from the Anti-Sa-
loon League included California,
Michigan, Arizona, Wyoming, Louisi-
ana, New Jersey and North Dakota.

HOUSE OF REPRESEN-
TATIVES HELD UP BY
MAN WITH PISTOL
The
Lampasas
Leader
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—A pale
but determined young man held up
the house of representatives with a
revolver today but was disarmed
without a struggle. Later two sticks
of dynamite were found in his rooms.
The man identified himself as Mar-
lin R. M. Kemmerer, Allentown, Pa.
A paper taken from him contained
the introduction to the speech he had
expected to make and which one wit-
ness claimed he spoke sveral words
of. It read:
“Okay America! For the next 20
minutes you will listen to a speech
which has the interest of the Ameri-
can people. The first man that tries
to stop me will die. Is that under-
stood?”
Had Kemmerer succeeded, not many
members would have been there to
hear him. A few minutes after a
page boy first shouted “look out for
the man with the gun” a majority
had deserted the floor for the more
protected cloakrooms.
“I want the floor for a few min-
utes,” he shouted, as he threw one
leg over the gallery railing, bran-
dishing a “.38.”
Representative Maas (R., Minn.),
who saw air service during the war,
walked over to a spot directly under
Kemmerer.
“I want the floor,” Kemmerer was
saying.
“All right, son,” Maas told the ex-
cited disturber, “but before you get
the floor give me that gun.” Kem-
merer dropped the gun to Maas.
CHARLEY WATSON PASSED
AWAY WEDNESDAY
AFTERNOON
Word has been received here by
relatives of the death of Charley
Watson of Lamesa, he having passed
away Wednesday at 6:00 p. m., his
death being due to pneumonia. Mr.
Watson was a young man having re-
sided in Lamesa only two months,
having spent the greater part of his
life in Lampasas County near the
survived by his widow, his father
and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Joshua
Watson of Lampasas, one sister, Mrs.
Albert Martin of Los Angeles, Cal.,
one half-sister, Mrs. Charley Herman
and one half-brother, Davis Wolf,
both of Lampasas. The body is be-
ing brought through by ambulance
and will be buried in the Nix ceme-
tery, the time of the burial to be
set after the arrival of the body.
ACTION AGAINST
FRANCE IS ASKED
IN CONGRESS
Preceding the Christmas festivi-
ties the outstanding event for the
Lake Victor community was the love-
ly wedding solemnized Friday even-
ing at.8 o’clock at the Baptist church
when • Miss Suell Tumlinson became
the bride of the Rev. George Brown
of Lampasas. The impressive ring
ceremonoy was read by the Rev. Carl
Sehlomach, Baptist minister, and
close friend of the contracting par-
ties. Wedding vows were taken be-
fore an altar banked with ferns and
potted plants, while pink shaded
lights furnished a soft glow for the
ceremony. Lohengrin’s “bridal chor-
us” played by Mrs. Audley Everett,
aunt of the bride, heralded the en-
trance of the bridal party which was
led by the ushers, Gilbert Everett,
cousin of the bride, and Ben Alex-
ander, both of Lake Victor.
The bride entered with her broth-
er, Roper Tumlinson, and was at-
tended by Miss Geneva Barrett as
maid of honor, and Miss Rachel Sue
Brown of Lampasas, the lovely little
niece of the groom was bearer of
the ring. The bride-groom was serv-
ed by his brother, Paul Brown of
Lampasas as best man. As the bridal
party grouped about the altar the
bridal song “I love you truly,” was
softly sung by Thad Glimp. The re-
cessional was played by Mrs. Audley
Everett. The bride was dressed in a
lovely costume of midnight blue, with
accessories to match, and carried an
arm bouquet of sweetheart roses and
lacy ferns. Seats reserved for the
immediate families were marked by
white streamers as was also a space
reserved for Mrs. Brown’s Sunday
school class of young women and
their teacher, Mrs. Sam Alexander.
Despite the dreadful weather, hun-
dreds of friends and relatives from
this and other adjoining communities
crowded into the little church which
Miss Tumlinson had attended prac-
tically every Sunday of her life and
which Bro. Brown had served as pas-
tor for two years. Both these young
people are well known and loved by
their associates.
Mrs. Brown, only daughter of Mrs.
C. M. Tumlinson was born and rear-
ed in this community. Bro. Brown,
son of Mrs. George Brown Sr., of
Lampasas, was reared in Lampasas,
and at present is principal of the Na-
runa school. They will be at home to
their friends at the Tumlinson home
while he resumes his school duties.
Fui-ther plans have not been disclosed.
These happy young people have the
congratulations and best wishes of
their host of friends.—Contributed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—A cho-
rus of denunciation and a threat of
punitive action issued from congress
today in response to the French par-
liament’s decision not to pay its war
debt installment, but the state de-
partment, in complete silence, waited
tomorrow’s deadline for remittances.
Senators and Representatives in
quick succession gave vent to then-
feelings with remarks about ingrati-
tude and lack of wisdom on the part
of France. This sentiment was cli-
maxed late in the day by action.
Representative Knutson, republi-
can, Minnesota, put before the house
a resolution which would forbid en-
try into the United States of securi-
ties issued by governments that have
defaulted ono their debt payments;
prohibit their advertisement for sale,
and bar the securities from the mails.
NEGRO PLACED IN JAIL
Jesse Hughes (colored) was plac-
ed in jail by local officers Wednes-
day night when he was caught sell-
ing a pint of liquor to some Mexi-
Mrs. J. W. Williams received a
message stating that a son was born
to Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Black, at Kil-
gore, December 11. He is named J.
H. Black Jr. Mrs. Black was for-
merly Miss Winnie Williams and a
1922 graduate of Lampasas high
school, and a graduate of C. I. A.
in 1928.
CHRISTMAS TREE ERECTED
ON THE BAND STAND
The large Christmas tree sponsor-
ed by the Lions club was placed on
the band stand Wednesday afternoon
and the club’s decoration committee
is at work on the tree. The tree was
lighted up Wednesday night and along
with the beautiful show windows in
the business houses, things are be-
ginning to take on a real Christmas
holiday appearance. Several of the
business houses have their windows
filled with toys to delight the child-
ren and merchandise for evex-y Christ-
mas shopper.

WELL SAID
Lazy people need to be scared.
Errors are seldom Irremediable.
Be glad today; hope for tomorrow.
Every man has a soul, but Is it un-
der control?
Every fool style plays out; but so
do the sensible ones.
Best part of a picnic is the morning
trip on the way there.
Luxury one must indulge in sparing-
ly or it loses its charm.
There is a way to keep a lawn; but
you have got to learn it.
Your automobile doesn’t annoy your
neighbor; but your radio can.
One can be too poor to make the
friends he wants—and too rich.
Better not call a woman “Sister,”
unless you know whether she likes it.
Any study of psychology must start
with allowing for 75 per cent selfish-
ness.
A housewife’s vague summer worry
is wondering if moths have got into
the blankets.
No household is complete without
eleven can openers; one in every place
you look for it.
Good breeding always demands a
little self-denial and also a conviction
that you are all right.
Millions of years ago the three-toed
horse became extinct. The no-toed
horse is tending that way.
Some people wait so stubbornly for
somebody to make love to them that
they miss most of that pleasant emo-
tion.
In olden days medicine, was so hor-
rid in its taste that many set the bot-
tle on the mantel and got well with-
out it.
“Not what we give but what we share,
For the gift without the giver is
bai’e.”
To eighty-five people in Lampasas
these two little lines will be rife with
meaning during this Christmas sea-
son. They will derive that peculiar
satisfaction which one receives only
when he gives willingly and whole-
heartedly. In comparison with this
indescribable pleasure the sum of
money spent in making another hap-
py seems insignificant, making any
deprivation on the part of the giver
seem of little consequence.
All that one has to do to use this
instrument of well-doing is to go to
Othel Smith at the Majestic Tailors,
, review the list of those whose Christ
I mas has px-omise of being a bai’re
! one, and select the boy or girl (mor
than one, if you wish) who is to b
the recipient of any token of friend-
ship which you wish to give. Clothes,
toys, or food which you may con-
tribute to the child of your choice
will be delivered to him or her
promptly and safely before tears of
loneliness and unhappiness have
come to mar the joy of the forgotten
child at this season when one’s life
should be full of joy and gladness.
WAR DEBT SITUATION IN BRIEF
“YARN” OF EDISON’S
THAT HELD WALLOP
Mr. Edison was keeping us alert (in
his laboratory) by telling one good
story after another. We were talking
about mental concentration, and he
brought up a remarkable instance
from his own experience.
“You know,” he said, “when I was
a young fellow I used to be a tele-
graph operator. I was a pretty fast
worker in those days; and to work
real fast you gotta keep your mind on
just what you’re doin’ and forgit ev-
erything else.
“Well, one night a number of mes-
sages came over the wire, and I re-
ceived them as fast as they ticked in.
All at once I hear the newsboys in the
street hollering an extra and a lot
of commotion and excitement going
on. I ran out to see what’d happened
ami I hear, ‘President Lincoln assas-
sinated!’ I asked how they’d got the
news. A man said: ‘You cl—n fool,
didn’t you just git the message your-
self?’
“True enough, I had received the
message a while earlier, but I had
never got its meaning. My mind must
have been glued pretty fast to my
work for me to have missed the mean-
ing of such a message!”
He had told the story so vividly that
we believed it to be an actual expe-
rience.—M. A. Rosanoff in Harper’s
Magazine.
(Houston Chi-onicle)
Great Britain will pay her install-
ment of $95,550,000 today. “It is un-
thinkable that England would de-
fault,” Chancellor Chamberlain told
commons.
Premier Herriot’s government goes
down to defeat when the chamber of
deputies votes against jpaying the
French installment of $20,000,000. In-
dications are that Herriott will be
called on to form another cabinet.
Washington indicates that the Uni-
ted States will stick to its policy of
“pay or default” in view of Fx-ance’s
.repudiation action. Angry congress-
men score the French action, one de-
claring “Germany evidently is not
the only nation to think that treaties
are scraps of paper.”
General opinion is that France, by
her refusal to pay, is placed in an
isolated positioix in regard to world
trade, and that Europe’s “united
front” for reconsideration of war
debts is irreparably shattered.
Announcement is made that Italy
has paid her interest installment of
$1,245,437, due today.
The Belgian government resigned
after voting unanimously to withhold
payment of the $2,125,000 install-
ment due today. In both France and
Belgium there was talk of returning
the same governments to power.

Living Chicken House
At Knoxville, Tenn., two deputy
sheriffs saw a negro walking along
the street with nine chickens under
his arms. Closer Inspection revealed
suspicious lumps about his person.
Occasionally a lump would move and
make a noise slightly like a chicken
being smothered. They removed five
more chickens from beneath his
clothing.
