Sherman, Texas, Aug. 23.—The
jury in the case of the State vs. Will
Baker, tried in the Fifty-Ninth Dis-
trict Court Monday, returned a ver-
dict of guilty, and assessed the pun-
ishment of the defendant at three
years in the State penitentiary. Sen- 1
tence was suspended. Baker, living'
near Gordonville, was charged with
transporting fourteen gallons of corn
whiskey to the Flowing Wells picnic
for sale there. The liquor, loaded in;
his automobile, was captured on the
road by Sheriff Boyd Craig and Dep-
uty Sheriff Bart Shipp. Baker is a
farmer.
New York, Aug. 22.—Sandy Dun-
can, a Scotch sailor who for four
years has been sailing between Cal-
cutta and Shanghi, learned today that
the United States had gone dry. He
tried to have a bartender arrested for
refusing to sell him a wee drappie of
whisky.
His ship steamed into Brooklyn and
he immediately visited a place ashore
where white aprons are worn.
“A glass of whisky,” Sandy said.
He didn’t believe the story he then
heard about prohibition, and he called
at a police station to seek justice for
“discrimination against a Scotch-
man.”
When he learned the truth he said
he’d select ship sailing east, of Suez
hereafter.

LANDSLIDE FOR $1,000,000
ROAD BONDS IN PALO PINTO
The Sun carried a notice from ihe
Oak Hill Cemetery Association in its
last issue calling on. owners of lots
in Oak Hill cemetery to send ip their
annual dues to pay the salary of a
man to keep the grass mowed and do
other work necessary' to keep the
cemetery in proper condition. In the
notice it was stated that the Associa-
tion had sufficient funds to pay for
the work during the month of August.
This was a mistake. The Association
does not have sufficient funds on
hand to pay for the work being done
this month, although it still has a man
at work hoping to receive sufficient
funds by the last of the month to
meet its obligation. The treasurer of
the Association states that several
have paid their dues since last week,
and that if-all lot owners will send in
their dues at once the work can be
continued until frost arrives, after
which time it will not be necessary
to be out much money to keep the
cemetery work going.

Mineral Wells, Texas, Aug. 20.—
By an unprecedented vote, which
broke all city and county records, the
$1,000,000 bond issue,' which assures
Palo Pinto of her proportion of the
Bankhead highway and fifty miles of
additional paved roads, carried today.
It was a landslide in fayor of the issue
throughout the county. The city of
Mineral Wells polled a- total of 1,233
votes, of which 1,155 favored the is-
sue, while 77 opposed it. Eliminating
two small, isolated boxes which have
not been heard from, the total vote
cast in the road district was 1,751 of
which 1,546 favored the issue and
204 opposed it. Strawn, Palo Pinto
and Lyra carried, averaging four to
one.
The women’s vote was the heaviest
ever polled in the city and favored
the issue generally. The campaign to
carry the issue has been the most
strenuous ever waged here. Strong
opposition to the issuance of the
bonds existed, but the heavy voting
against the proposition which was ex-
pected did not develope and early in
the day it was apparent that it would |
be a landslide. Crowds were awaiting
the opening of the polls as early as
6 o’clock this morning and interest
increased all day. \

R. M. Womack of Sulphur Springs
and Horace McGraw of Dallas came
up from Dallas Wednesday morning
by airplane and spent a few hours
with Mr. Womack’s family. They
made the trip from Dallas in fifty
minutes, and the return trip in thirty-
five minutes. Mr. Womack piloted
the plane to and from Dallas and is
proud of the record 1n3.de on the re-
turn trip. Mr. McGraw owns several
commercial planes and is an experi-
enced aviator. He has been teaching
Mr. Womack the art of flying and his
pupil has about reached the stage
where he feels safe with the stick in
his hands. While here Mr. McGraw
took Misses Inez and Gladys Ray, Joe
Hamilton and Byron Sears for a
flight over the city. They report en-
joyable trips and say it is a great
treat to glide through the air several
thousand feet above the ground.
They said the farms looked like gar-
dens, and the houses like bird houses
from the plane, and that the earth
appeared to be traveling at a very
high rate of speed under them.

Several short talks were made and the

knowing that almost 100 per cent of
our people will arrange to take care
of their obligations when possible,
we concluded to pay our wholesale
bills every 30 days, but to extend fall
credit to our regular customers as we
have always done.
We now have the biggest part of
two years’ business on our books.
We can not afford to loose our
standing and credit with the whole-
sale houses, and in order to main-
tain that credit with them we are
compelled to get cash for our goods.
We have exhausted! our cash bal-
ance and can not extend a longer
credit to our customers than we can done by them,
obtain from our wholesale houses.
Therefore, beginning Sept. 1st, our
business will be on a strictly cash and
30-day basis, and all 30-day accounts
will be automatically closed at the
end of the month unless paid at that
time.

pressed a wish for more such enter-
