In Legion circles everywhere, May
is known as Poppy Month. In all
parts of the U. S. A. American Le-
gion Auxiliary Units are completing
plans for the distribution of veteran-
made Buddy-Poppies on Saturday,
May 25. Lampasas Unit, Mrs. Em-
mett Terry president and Mrs. Omar
Brown Poppy Chairman, has already
received several hundred replicas of
Flanders Poppy to be sold on the
streets on Poppy Day.
Man ycrippled men at Legion Hos-
pital are still anxiously waiting and
watching for orders to come in, as
every hundred poppies ordered means
that one or more men will be en-
abled to earn another dollar. They
are paid one cent each for making
the little crimson paper flowers, and
in this case indeed “the labourer is
worthy of his hire.”

New York, May 1.—Carl W. Acker-
man, dean of Columbia university’s
graduate school of journalism and
ex-war correspondent, said today
that the offer of a $1,000,000 reward
for the capture of Adolf Hitler was
“calculated to contribute to the in-
volvement of the United States in
the p resen t. E uro pea n war. ”
While. oficial Washington studied
the offer in the light of U. S. neu-
trality legislation, Ackerman assail-
ed the proposal in an open letter to
Samuel Harden Church, president of
the Carnegie Institute, who ’made
public the offer in behalf of ah un-
identified group of Pittsburgh resi-
dents.-------------
To collect under tho- offer, any
person or persons who have to de-
liver the German fuehrer “alive, un-
wounded and unhurt” to the League
of Nations during May for trial “for
his crimes against the
dignity of the world.”
“To offer a monetary
the sacrifice of human
would be necessary to capture Herr
Hitler, is a dangerous national as
well as international proposal,” Ac-
kerman declared. “The Ameican
people will never sanction a policy
of kidriaping either at home or
abroad. . . .
“Nevertheless your offer serves a
useful public service. It indicates
that the time has arrived for the
American people to begin to list our
war makers. You have won the
unique position of wnr maker No.
Last year when you had full steam up from
(hocking and pitching bundles, the cool air
felt refreshing as water from the jug. Remem-
ber? Take a.tip from the harvest-scented
summer breere' that" dried the beads of sweat
on your face. Change to an ALL-CROP
HARVESTER and let tha air do the same
for your crop!
Air and the ALL-CROP HARVESTER work
together to put your grains, sorghums, soil-
building legume and grass seeds in the bag or
bin clean anddry. Air-blagt separation whisks
out every kernel, while your neighbors’ shocks
mildew, just as Mother’s clothes would do in
the basket if she didn’t hang them up to dry.
You can take life easy, lean back in <your
tractor seat and harvest stalk-ripened air-
dried grain— filled out a week to 10 days
longer than with a binder. If the straw is heavy,
with green undergrowth, don't be alarmed ——
the AH-Crop Harvester’s wide, rubber-cush-
ioned bar cylinder will put it through whole
—won't “cider-press” it into a wet pulp. Even
rain needn’t bring the blues. On the heels of
4h« rambow your.All-Crop Harvester will be
humming a *«ng of Better Living for you and
your family! .

I The circus employes, who were hav-
' ing their jobs sold from beneath their
feet made a brave attempt to stim-
ulate the bidding. They herded five
elephants into the ring and put them
through their tricks. Then they
brought out a couple of performing
' herses, who bowed, knelt for the rid-
er to mount, and danced.
The auctioneer valued the show at
$35,000 and asked for a bid of $4,000.
But nobody raised a voice
finger.
“We'll sell the elephants
announced Thrower and the
streamed into the barn where the six
lady elephants—Babe, Cora, Inez
Mariaq, Addie and the 80-year-old
Pinto were munching hay and throw-
ing dirt on their backs in supreme in-
difference to - the proceedings.
Frank Walter, Houston circvs fan,
.who owns a fair,sized circus as a
hobby, bought the six elephants for
$3„300 and wrote out a check on the
spot.
When it was over there wasn't any-
thing left of Downie Brothers Circus,
which once was billed as the biggest
truck show in the land.

Two red balloons, about eighteen
inches in di«- meter._amL tied together,
were found Wednesday afternoon
about 7:00 o'clock hy E. S. Moore.
The balloons were in a field at the
home of R. F. Butler, son-in-law of
Mr. Moore.
The balloons had a small envelope
and a nqte attached which asked that
the finder please send a post card to
Edwin F. Moore, instructor of phy-
sics at Howard Payne College in
Brownwood, giving the location and
[ time the note was found. The note
was dated May 1st, in Brownwood.
The request was complied with by
the finder of the note. Mr. Moore
stated that the pressure was low in
one of the balloons when he found
them.
It so happens that the sender and
finder of the note have the
name, but are not related.
El Paso, Texas, May 1.—If -loung-
ers in downtown San Jacinto Plaza
looked hopefully toward a plaza ho-
tel Wednesday there was- a reason.
Tuesday, it became RMWH.'R Furl
Worth oilman stood sandwiches for
every park bench occupant.
—Tha oilman—who asked his name be
withheld for reason—looked from hia
hotel suite upon the plaza below, and
called Maitre D’Hotel Joe M. Nitz-
che with following instructions:^
“Go down there and see how many
of those people would like a niee
steak, and then serve them. Those
poor guys are hungry maybe.”
Nitzschce, pop-eyed, conferred with
Manager Joe Hamper—“The guy’s
nuts,” he guttered.
Harper took over matters.
“Steaks are impractical,” he -mur-
mured, soothingly.
“Then maka it sandwiches—$25
worth and make it snappy,” answer-
eded the big O. M.
From his hotel window, the big O.
M. watched while starchy waitresses
passed trays among the gaping, but
not reluctant, loungers in the park.
“Have a sandwich, sir?” Ham and
cheese, peanut butter and jelly. It’s
on the house.”
Not a sandwich came back.
There was no tipping.
