BLOOMSBURG, Pa. — Paul E.
Wirt, 85, attorney and inventor of
the fountain pen, died early Monday
at his home here.
Wirt started experimenting to
make a fountain pen as the result of
the constant annoyance of spilt ink
on his legal papers. He obtained a
patent on his invention and in 1885
placed the pens on the market.
They created something of a sen-
station and won prizes in several in-
ternational expositions. In 1922 he
retired from the pen manufacturing
business.

GENEVA. — Great Britain has
tried the system of public works as a
remedy for unemployment and found
it wanting.
The experience is set forth in a
“National Public
Works,” published by the League of
Nations on the basis of replies from
29 nations, including the United
States.
Britain’s reply was that “the ex-
periment of large public works as a
method of dealing with unemploy-
ment has been tried and has failed,
and it is not intended to repeat it.” It
said the British view was that the ul-
timate test of each work must be its
social or economic value.
AUSTIN.—Tom Hickman of Fort
Worth, veteran in ranger service, was
appointed a ranger captain Wednes-
day by Adj. Gen. Carl Nesbitt and as-
signed to command Company B at
Fort Worth.
Hickman, until the beginning of
the administration of Gov. Miriam A.
Ferguson two years ago, had been in
the service for a number of years and
at the time of his retirement was
commander of the company at Fort
Worth. He is the first of the Cap-
tains that served during the adminis-
tration of ex-Gov. Dan Moody and
Ross Sterling to be reappointed.

CINCINNATI.—“Get married.”
“Get married on a shoestring, if
necessary". Get married, even though
you have to live with one of your
families—but get married.”
This was the advice to young cou-
ples in love who have been postpon-
ing their union for lack of money,
given by Robert Chrisman, chairman
of the Inter-Nation Conference
Christian Youth, in session here.
“Postponement of marriage by
young couples in love leads to emo-
tional and nervous strain,” Chrisman
said in a report.
A veteran East Texas representa-
tive was reading the mimeographed
summary of new bills introduced at
his desk in the house.
He came upon a bill proposing a
tax upon certain luxury items, includ-
ing perfume, cigars and snuff.
“Who introduced that?” he
manded, suddenly all attention.
He hastily consulted the sheet and
learned the snuff tax bill was signed
by another East Texas legislator.
“Can you imagine a guy with no
better political sense than that?” he
asked. “Living in East Texas and of-
fering a bill to tax snuff. He ought
to include black bass and fox-hounds
and Model T Fords, too, if he wants
to be sure and retire next election.”
In a blinding fog at 11 p. m. Fri-
day, a Buick coupe driven by John
Pace of Whitewright collided with a
-S&rtr-pjck-up driven by J. R. Graves
Jr. of Sherman-, on the highway north
of town.
Laverne Graves, 13-year-old sister
of J. R. Graves Jr., received three se-
vere cuts on her head, and received
medical attention in Whitewright be-
fore being taken to her home in Sher-
man.
. In the car with Pace were John
Sadler, Leland May and Bennie
Thornhill, all escaping injury except
Sadler who was badly bruised.
Both automobiles were badly dam-
aged.
Gov. Allred, the cynosure of all
eyes at present, has taken a leaf
from the book of President Roosevelt
in his relations with the newsmen
who cover the Capitol. The Presi-
dent’s happy relations with the news-
hawks in Washington is traditional,
and is largely responsible for his ex-
cellent “press.” Gov. Allred has
adopted a policy of holding his daily
press conference promptly at 9:30
without fail. No matter who may be
waiting, or in the office, the news-
men know they have carte blanche to
“crash the gate” to his office when
the clock strikes. Smilingly, Jimmie
meets them, and answers all ques-
tions.
The press conferences during the
Ferguson regime had declined until
they were not held once in two weeks,
sometimes. Uusually, Governor Jim
was on hand, and did as much talking
as the Governor. With certain in-
dividual newsmen, Mrs. Ferguson had
fairly cordial relations; toward oth-
ers, whose papers dealt harshly with
herself and Jim, she was bitterly an-
tagonistic.
Besides the routine of financing
the government by taxes, the solons
must determine conclusions upon a
dozen or more major issues of policy.
Included is the liquor problem—prob-
able submission of repeal of the State
constitutional prohibition amend-
ment, and consideration of a method
of regulation of the traffic, if prohi-
bition is wiped out in law, as it al-
ready has been in fact throughout
Texas. A bitter fight against resub-
mission is indicated, before the
amendment ever gets to the people—
if it does. With Governor Allred
pledged to resubmission (although
personally a dry himself) and the
Democratic State platform likewise
on record for passing the problem
back to the people, the prospect is

Job-hunters still haunt the capital.
More than 3,000 have applied for
places on the State Ranger force,
with two-score jobs to be filled, un-
der the present setup. Every veteran
peace officer in Texas, it seems,
would be a Ranger. Gov. Allred and
his aides handle the job-hunters
suavely, but firmly. There have oc-
curred no untoward incidents such
as the “bawling out” that Jim Fer-
guson gave the assemblage after his
wife took office two years ago, when
he brusquely told us “get to work.”

aggressive campaign against State
prohibition repeal, when it is submit-
ted to the voters later on in the
spring.
A series of rallies and speakings
were held in this city and through-
out the county Sunday and Sunday
night. Dr. Atticus Webb was speaker
at a union church rally held here Sun-
day night at the First Methodist
Church, when several other local
churches either dismissed their eve-
ning services or held the evening
preaching hour earlier than usual. .
Speakers invading the county dur-
ing the day included Lieut. Col. J. W.
Langham, who spoke at Anna and
Celina; Rev. George L. Conway of
Dallas, speaker at Wylie; Dr. C. M.
Franklin of Greenville, at Josephine;
Jess Morris of Greenville, who spoke
at Weston, Culleoka and Princeton.
DALLAS. — Rural retail sales in
the United States were 21 per cent
higher in 1934 than in 1933, and
32% per cent highei’ than in 1932,
according to reports received by
Harold M. YouHg, director of the lo-
cal bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce.
The daily average of rural retail
sales for December was 20 pel’ cent
greater than for December of 1933
and 59 per cent greater than for the
same month of 1932.

less than 300 producer units last year

ber of producer units on which cot-
ton production was reported in the

acteristic symptom of some form of
insanity, and not always in a mild de-

SHERMAN. — Nine new county
employes were named Monday after-
noon by the commissioners’ court in
a session behind locked doors as only
one employe of the former regime of
commissioners was allowed to retain
his post.
The one holdover was H. M. Scott,
superintendent of roads and bridges
who draws a monthly salary of $200.
G. W. Hestand was elected county
home manager replacing Jewel
Hardy, occupant of the post for the
past two years. Hestand will receive
$100 per month and his wife will re-
ceive $40 per month as matron.
A. E. Whiteacre received a posi-
tion for which he had not made an
application when the court named
him high-way officer, replacing E. P.
Jackson, holder of the position for
several years. The post carries a
monthly salary of $135.
L. A. Stallings was named janitor
of the courthouse replacing R. G.
Hodge, at a monthly salary of $70.
Hodge has held the post two years.
Thomas Howell was named Stallings’
assistant, replacing George Ricketts.
The post pays $50 monthly.
Several Applications
Dave Doggett was appointed farm
hand at the county home at ~ $40
monthly, replacing Tuck Andrews,
who filled the position for the past
years.
Herman Goldston was named yard-
man l
Ed Bruce, who has filled the post for
12 years. The job pays $50 monthly.
Fred Mauldin will replace Tom
Zimmerman as cook at the county
home at a salary of $60 monthly and
Mauldin’s wife will receive $30 per
month.
The pressure exerted upon the va-
rious members of the court by job-
applicants and their friends has been
extremely heavy since their election.
Seven applied for the post of county
home manager, two for superintend-
ent of roads and bridges, nine for
highway officer, nine for janitor, two

than 500 producer units will have
one community committee.
“Any producer is eligible to sign
a 1935 contract who is an owner,
cash tenant, standing or fixed-rent
tenant, or managing-share tenant

operates or controls a farm on which
cotton was planted in 1933 or 1934
and on which cotton will be planted
in 1935 and which wag not covered
by a 1934-1935 reduction contract.
“Any producer is also eligible who
is operating a farm on which cotton
was not planted in 1933 or 1934 be-
cause such farm was then planted to
perennial crops in a regular rotation
or because such farm was covered
by an agreement with the govern-
