Son’s Statement Implicates Father
THE fLATONIA ARGUS
THURSDAY JAN.
--2*™
Rudolph Matthews, Jr., 9 Rudolph Matthew*, Sr.
The statement of a 9-year-old San Antonio boy may convict his
father of the murder of the boy’s mother. Rudolph Matthews was
charged with the murder of his wife recently after the boy told officers
of seeing his father drag his mother into the bedroom of their home,
and hearing a shot immediately thereafter. Matthews says it wus an
accidental shooting. According to Rudolph, Jr., his mother had pre-
viously engaged in an argument with a woman named Della, saying,
'ceave my hilshand alone.” *

BOARD MAKES APPEAL
The finances of our school
are at a low mark and the
school board is making an
effort to get the tax payers to
pay the school tax. Only a
portion of the State tax has
been turned in and unless we
get in a liberal amount of loc-
al tax money very soon, it will
be rather hard to finish this
term.

'Nature Thought of ’
_ Everything
Nature thought of everything when
the human body was made. When the
body is about to beoome 31, nature
planned danger signals to warn us.
Thus, 3 our chddren grind their teeth
when they sleep, or lack appetite, or
suffer from abdominal pains, or itch
about the nose and fingers, we should
know that they may have contracted
worms. Then, 3 we are wise, we buy a
bottle of White’s Cream Vemufuge and
safely and surely expel the worm*. Thus
we,avoid the danger of very,serious
trouble. White’s Cream Vermifuge costa

Adults Contract Children*s
Diseases
Adult* can, and do, contract many
children’s diseases. And, usually, they
suffer from them much more than
children do. For instance, many adults
contract worms, an ailment usually
associated with children. Sometimes
they suffer intensely and take expen-
give irtoilical treatments, without, reali-
zing that worms aro the cause of their
troubles. Yet. tho symptoms are tho
same as in children, loss of apnetito
and weight , grinding the teeth and rest-
less siren, itching of the nose and anus,
and*nbdoininal pains. And, the samo
\ medicine that surely and harmlessly cx-
i pels round and pin wormsrom children
will do tho same for adults — White’s

Beer Would Bring
Prosperity Back
Legalization of 4 per cent
beer was urged before the
Senate and one of its com-
mittees Saturday as a means
of helping the fanner, the un
employed and Government
finances.
Senator Bingham (Rep), of
Connecticutt, author of a bill
designed to bring this about
presented what was called a
prosperity chart, prepared by
the Crusaders, an antiprohib-
ition organization.
Senator Tydings, a Mary-
land Democrat declared legal-
ization of beer would do more
to improve conditions than ex-
tending credit.
“Every man knows there is
no prohibition,” Tydings said.
“There is no city or town in
the country where a man can
not buy liquor twenty-four
hours after arrival.’'
Legalization oi beer, he said
would provide work for three
hundred thousand persons
while the tax on it would pro-
vide five hundred million dol
lars revenue.
DO RATTLE SNAKES LAY
EGGS?
A correspondent wants to
know if rattlesnakes lay eggs
or not? Rattlesnakes are ovi-
parous or vivparous according
to the envoironment of the
snake and its ability or oppor-
tunity to hide its eggs.
Eggs are formed in the
snake, and on some circum-
stances are hatched inside the
snake, and in other circumst&n
ces, the eggs are laid on the
ground for the sun to hatch.
How the Big Ones Dropped
As an evidence of how “big
business” has been hit by the
old depression a recent state-
ment of earnings of Moncom-
ery Ward and Co., is an ex-
ample. In 1928 they earned
$17,700,000, in 1929 earned
$13,400,000, in 1930 earned
$428,000 and in the first nine
months of 1931 lost $2,692,
000!
