ROBBERS ENTER
POST OFFICE
AT WINFIELD
Mt. Pleasant, Texas, Dec. 12.—
Burglars entered the post office at
Winfield Tuesday night, but so far
as can be ascertained, nothing was
taken from the office that was of
any value.
The dial was knocked from the
safe which contained the money and
stamps, but entrance into the safe
could not be made by the intruders,
because when the knob was broken
the tumblers fell down and could not
be removed.
Postmaster Taylor on Tuesday eve-
ning placed all of his surplus money
in a bank, and had locked the loose
change, stamps and money order
blanks in the safe as usual. He came
to Mt. Pleasant Wednesday morning
and secured materials to continue
operation of the Winfield post office
until additional supplies can be sent
from Washington, or the safe is
opened by experts.
A report of the affair was wired
to the chief inspector at Austin ear-
ly Wednesday and it is thought that
officers will be sent to Winfield soon
to begin work of apprehending the
persons who broke into the office.

The South Bend station was pack-
ed around for a radius of six blocks
as the Notre Dame conquerors came
home. Everyone was out and the
crowd marched to the Notre Dame
gymnasium where the school’s great-
est demonstration in all history was
staged.
Father Charles L. O’Donnell, C. S.
C., president of the university; Cap-
tain Adam Walsh, of the famous
Notre Dame “Four Horsemen” crew
of 1924; Johnny Law, captain of the
undefeated 1920 eleven; members of
the 1930 team and Rockne himself
gave rousing speeches in the packed
gymnasium.
Rockne, worn out and almost on
the verge of collapse, gave one of
his witty talks as the large gym-
nasium rocked to its steel girders
with applause.
South Bend belonged to Notre
Dame students Wednesday night.
Snake dances, pep fests and parties
were on the program for the night
and far into the early hours of the
morning.

Greenville, Ga., Dec. 10.—On the
eve of his return to New York, Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt Tuesday night
fold members of a “Roosevelt for
President” club tendering .him a game
dinner that “a lot of water must
pass under the bridge before any
candidate is named and it may be
someone whom no one has thought
of.”
Governor-elect Richard B. Russell
of Georgia said “this is the first
Roosevelt-for-President club in the
Nation and Georgia is proud to have
Roosevelt as an adopted son.”
Mentioning his familiarity with
what he termed the vastly different4
economic problems of Georgia and
New York, Governor Roosevelt said
no single yardstick can be used in
Washington that will fit the whole
Nation.
“Each State must work out its own
major problems in its own way,” he
said.
Governor Roosevelt was introduc-
ed by Judge J. R. Terrell of Green-
ville as “the man who has done more
for Meriwether County than any
man in Georgia.”
“He is our job in 1932 and Roose-
velt is the man in whom there is’no
guile,” said Judge Terrell.
Judge C. E. Roof of the Cowetta
judicial circuit, said Owen D. Young
had been mentioned as a possible
presidential candidate in 1932, but
that he (Young) could not be spar
ed from his European work. With
Young occupying an important posi-
tion on the continent and Rosevelt
as president, Judge Roof said “the
Atlantic Ocean will vanish and peace
and unity will rule throughout the
world.”
Judge Frank McLaughlin of the
Chattahoochee • judicial circuit, said
“we will rally to the flag of democ-
racy and march with Franklin Roose-
velt to the White House.”
The small hotel in this county seat
in which the dinner was held was
crowded and many saw the scene
through the windows of the building.
ARMS COMMISSION
OUTLINES TREATY
Geneva, Switzerland, Dec. 11.—
The preparatory disarmament com-
mission finished its work Tuesday
night and adjourned sine die leaving
as a legacy the outline of a general
disarmament treaty the value of
which history only can assess.
This outline, or draft convention,
is to form the basis for delibera-
tions of a world disarmament con-
ference which will probably be call-
ed to meet early in 1932.
Before its final adjournment the
commission took solemn inventory of
its extensive labors and acknowl-
edged their results were imperfect.
The draft convention, however, the
majority agreed, while providing lit-
tle more than stabilization of pres-
ent armaments as an immediate pros-
pect, holds great possibilities for re-
duction if only governments, will be
of a. mind, to reduce.
In a series of valedictory declar-
ations, among which that of Hugh
Gibson, the American delegate, struck
a vigorous note, the commission sum-
moned public opinion to tireless activ-
ity in pushing government of the
world along the road of disarmament.
The hope was voiced the political ob-
stacles blocking the arms reduction
program would grow less formidable
before the world conference meets
to consider adoption of a general
scheme for limitation.
BIRTHRIGHT NEWS
The reporter failed to get the
news in last week.
On Thanksgiving Day our ball
teams went over to Addran and
played ball. The scores for the girls
were 20-5 in favor of Birthright; for
the boys, 17-14 in favor of Birth-
right. We are very proud of our ball
teams, and like for them to “bring
home the bacon.”
We are sorry to report the death
of Mr. Rufus Cargile, who died at

verne Gregg spent Thursday night

Are you willing to stoop down and

ness and loneliness of people who are

self whether you love them enough;
to bear in mind the things that oth-

them to tell you; to trim your lamp
so that it will give more light and

that your shadow will fall behind you;

you willing to do these things even

And if you keep it for a day, why

THE AMAZING AGE
If “law” did what it is supposed to
do, the United States would be the
most moral and “crimeless” country
in the world. No other nation has
ever had such a volume of legisla-
tion.
Yet the newspapers sag with ac-
counts of the doings of celebrated
gangsters and “racketeers.” Law en-
forcement officers search frantical-
ly. for ways to press charges against
them, but to no avail. An arrest is
the signal for swift activity on the
part of lawyers to shfew that suppos-
ed law-breaking is “within” the law.
The irony of such a situation is in-
escapable. We have thousands upon
thousands of criminal laws and there
is talk of asking the Federal govern-
ment to take a hand in subduing the
criminal element in one of our gang-
ridden cities! As a “crime remedy” it
is often proposed to make it a crime
for a perfectly honest citizen to own
a revolver or pistol—while it is a
rare week in which gangsters fail to
“bumb” someone off with machine
guns.
And still we talk of passing more
laws. Why not reverse the process
and enforce some existing laws? We
do live in an amazing age!—Ex.

KEEPING CHRISTMAS..
(Bv Henry Van Dyke)
It is a good thing to observe Christ-
mas Day. The mere marking of
times and seasons, when men agree
to stop work and make merry togeth-
er, is a wise and wholesome custom.
It helps one to feel the supremacy,
of the common life over the individ-
ual life. It reminds a man to set
his own little watch now and then,
by the great clock of humanity, which
runs on sun time.
But there is a better thing than
the observance of Christmas Day and
that is keeping Christmas.

South Bend, Ind., Dec. 11.-—Knute
Rockne and his famous Notre Dame
troupe of Raiders came back to their
home stamping ground again Wed-
nesday to receive probably the nois-
iest double-bareled ovation ever
boomed for an athletic team.
Thousands of people fought and
stormed to greet and get a glimpse
of the national football champions as
they paraded through Chicago’s
streets; the entire citizenry of South
Bend, and the entire student body
of Notre Dame shouted themselves
hoarse as they ended their epic
odyssey here.
Notre Dame and Chicago have held
ovations for explorers, celebrities of
every sort, and for mighty teams of
yesteryear, but few compared with
the one given the “Fighting Irish” to-
day.
It resembled soemwhat the foray
and tumult which greeted the armis-
tice of the World War. Hundreds of
police were powerless to stop the
surging throngs, fighting to get to
the team that forged its nineteenth
straight victory in two years at the
University of Southern California’s
expense Saturday.
It was as the tired Rockne re-
marked when it was all over:
“We thought we had been through
some great lines on the football field
this year, but the lines we and the
police had to fight today had ’em
all beat.”
The Chicago ovation was of but
an hour’s length but intense in its
jamming, crushing and crowding. It
took the players, coaches and others
connected with the Notre Dame party
fully twenty minutes to fight .through
the large crowd that jammed the
concourse of the LaSalle Street Sta-
tion.
The crowd overwhelmed the vic-
tory procession. Frank Carideo,

OVE^t? MILLION JARS USED YEARLY
UTILITIES LEAD
AS TAXPAYERS
During 1928 taxes paid by our pub-
lic utilities reached the gigantic total
of $388,326,000, according to Floyd j
L. Carlislie of the Niagara-Hudson j
Power Corporation, of which 46 per
cent, came from electric light, and
power companies, 25 per cent from
the telephone and telegraph, 16 per
cent from electric railways and 13
per cent from the gas manufactur-
ing industry. In that year, for the
first time in history, public utility
taxes equaled those paid by the rail-
roads,
These 1928 levies would have fur-
nished the entire tux "funds of the
cities of Boston, Philadelphia, Detroit,
and Chicago combined. They would
have paid the expenses of the navy,
with enough over to- meet the post
office deficit. They would have
paid the income taxes of all persons'
with an income of less than $100,-
000. In addition to these direct tax-
es, another gigantic sum comes to:
government in the form of taxes on
profits from the sale of securities,
taxes on incomes received from util-
ity stocks and bonds, and the like.
Of equal interest is the fact that,
since before the war, taxes on utili-
ties have increased twice as rapidly
as revenue from customers. While
1928 revenues were about three times
those of 1912, taxes were five and
a half times as large. Taxes ab-
sorbed 23 per cent of the net rev-
enues of utilities in 1928—one dol-
lar out of every $5.53 available.
The utilities’ contribution to gov-
ernment, to individual growth, to
