Austin, Texas, Oct. 13.—Governor
Miriam A. Ferguson is having an ar-
ray of figures made to be used in a
statement to the public when she acts
on the bill appropriating $3,500,000
out of the general fund to supple-
ment the available school fund to
raise the per capita allowance from
$11.50 to $14 per child. This state-
ment will show the State’s financial
plight as a result of the heavy appro-
priations made by the recent session

clined to say when the Governor will
announce her disposition of the
school bill, though she is expected to
approve it, together with 558 local
and general bonld validating bills.
The Governor has until January to
dispose of the bills which reached her
during the last ten days of the ses-
sion, which includes the $3,500,000
school appropriation bill and most of
the bond measures.
The Sun has been requested to an-
nounce that C. M. Simpson, presiding
elder of this district, will occupy the
pulpit at the Methodist Church next
Sunday evening. His subject will be,
“The Wonders of Yellowstone Na-
tional Park and God.”

Chicago, Oct. 12.—When “Hymie”
Weiss and Patrick Murray fell dead
Monday night before machine guns of
rivals in Chicago’s “bootleg racket”
their death brought to 46 the number
of lives claimed since January by
liquor and gang feuds.
>. Chicago’s gangster death roll
stands at 110 since 1923. In the
last three months of that year there
were 10 such killings. In 1924 there
were 11 and in 1925 the total was 43.

He expects to locate in West Texas,
and hopes the change will be benefi-
cial to his health.

that accompanies a church or home
wedding, Miss Ada Ford became the
bride of W. D. Hodges at 9 o’clock
Wednesday evening of last week at

Succinctly stated, here is what they
listed as sure subjects: General re-
vision of the highway laws following
the Attorney General’s attack on con-
tracts made under the present
statutes; a revamping of the textbook
code so as to abolish the multiple list

chewing gum, tobaccos and similar
articles, as well as to change the in-
heritance act.
Besides the foregoing there will be
many other bills on hundreds of sub-
jects, such as to repeal the bank
guaranty fund provision of the State
banking act.
Houston, Texas, Ocf. 12.-— Plenty
of corn on Texas farms is indicated
in the October 1 crop report .of H. H.
Schulz, government statistician.
Indications point to a crop of 108,-
612,000 bushels, the report said, com-
pared with 195,000,000 bushels in
1919. In the latter year, however,
Texas had 2,320,000 head of swine as
one of the means to consume it, com-
pared with 1,062,000 head this year.
Moreover, the report asserts, old corn
remaining on farms generally is three
times as great as last year, or al-
most double the average carry over
of the past decade.
The report recites that probably
production of grain sorghums is 49,-
885,000, “the best crop since 1921.”
It indicates a slight increase in pro-
duction of Texas rice for a total of
6,142,000 bushels.
Generally the peanut out-turn is
heavier and a better quality with pro-
duction placed at 51,191,000 pounds
compared with 35,855,000 pounds
last year.
Sherman, Texas, Oct. 11.—A flood
here, resulting from one of the heav-
iest rains on record in this section in
thirty-nine years, took toll of one
life and considerable property dam-
age. Ezra W. Haynie, student of
the Sherman High School and res-
ident of the Black Bridge community,
was drowned in a deep ravine near
Greenmount when the car was swept
into the ravine by a rush of water.
Ray Wyble, also of the Black
Bridge community, who was riding
with Haynie, saved himself by catch-
ing the branch of a tree. Young Hay-
nie was carried with the car about
100 yards downstream.
Washington, Oct. 12.—Bills due
“Uncle Sam, M. D.,” for services
rendered in the form of medical
waters at the Hot Springs National
Park, Ark., must be paid on the dot,
or not at all.
This was revealed Tuesday by the
Interior Department, which announc-
ed that some unnamed resident of the
United States felt so grateful for
beneficial baths received years ago at
the establishment maintained by the
department at the Springs that he had
sent the Government $20, which has
been returned because the treasury
has no authority to accept such pay-
ments.
Persons suffering from various
ills may take advantage of the Gov-
ernment bathhouse there without
cost, provided they are absolutely un-
able to pay. No provision is made
for future payment should the bather
become able to pay. Once the baths
are given and the patient leaves, the
matter is closed.
“I could not pay for it at the
time,” said a letter enclosing the $20,
“and as I consider it a credit, I now
discharge my obligation, . including
interest.”

Shall we sit and see our children
fall needless victims to diphtheria,
dread scourge of child health and
life, is the query propounded by the
state 'board of health to Texas par-
ents, health officials and the school
authorities. That this disease has
been more prevalent in Texas during
the last month than during Septem-
ber of last year, is shown by reports
received by the board from county
and city health officers of the state,
and which show an increase of more
than 40 per cent in cases.
“Diphtheria is a children’s disease,”
stated Dr. H. O. Sappington, state
health officer, as Federal records
show that 56 per cent of deaths from
this malady represented children
under 5 years of age; 28 per cent be-
tween 5 and 9 years; and only 16 per
cent over 9 years of age. Many chil-
dren are
with the opening of schools
necessary
crowded schoolrooms, one diphtheria
“carrier” becomes a menace to the
health of the entire school.
“As the diphtheria wave reaches its
peak during the school session, and
as Medical Science has shown a way
to prevent diphtheria, the only sensi-
ble thing, to do, is to see that all
school children are given this immun-
ization against the disease, and
especially should this be done in the
lower schools grades, which repre-
sent the children most susceptible.
“The use of toxin-antitoxin as an
immunizing agent will prevent your
children from having this disease. Its
uSe is not harmful and can be given
by your family physician. The group
immunization of school children is be-
ing followed in some localities, and
is a good policy, being perhaps the
only way in which diphtheria will be
totally eliminated. School and health
authorities should co-operate to the
end that the lives of our children may
be saved.”
There was a called meeting of the
Home Economics Club of the high
school Monday for the purpose of re-
organizing. The following officers
were elected: Mary Pumphrey, pres-
ident; Babe Nell Penn, vice-pres-
ident; Dorothy Hamilton, secretary;
Cordelia Russell, treasurer, and Mor-
dell Pumphrey, reporter.—Reporter.
adopted.
duce to 12,000,000 bales,
bring 25 cents a pound.”
Commenting on his message, Ter-
rell said: “When I go to kill a snake
I try to cut his head off, as that is
more apt to kill him than cutting off
his tail. I am after the snake that is
killing the market for cotton, and
that is the\ iw grade surplus.
“If this s’ rplus were destroyed and
a few million bales low grade cotton
left in the field this year, it would do
more to advance the price than hold-
ing 10,000,000 bales off the market,
as this cotton is still in sight and can
be had, but if the low grade cotton is
destroyed the price immediately will
advance to a profitable point.
“I am strong for holding all good
cotton off- the market and reducing
the acreage at least 25 per cent next
year, as this seems to be about all the
public is willing to do, and that will
advance the price to some extent.”

H. Smith, 66 years old, prominent
railroad attorney and a leader in the
Democratic party, dropped dead in
his office in Sherman Tuesday after-

resentative Reuben Loftin of HenrL
etta, House floor manager for the
Ferguson administration, made flat
denial of Capitol gossip.
Loftin made the statement im-
mediately after a visit to the Gover-
nor’s office Saturday morning. He

Austin, Oct. 12.—The buying and
burning of 3,000,000 bales of low
grade cotton Tuesday was suggested
as a means of improving the cotton
situation, in a telegram from Agri-
cultural Commissioner George B. Ter-
rell to H. L. Whitfield, Governor of
Mississippi and chairman of the
Southwide Cotton Conference, open-
ing Wednesday at Memphis, Tenn.

The Rotary Club Friday noon lun-
cheon program consisted of two talks,
one by Fred W. Smith on school mat-
ters and the other by F. M. Echols on
fire prevention. Both gave the
Rotarians information on their sub-
jects that, was of interest to them.
The problems of the local schools
were freely discussed by Mr. Smith.
Mr. Echols gave facts and figures to
show that most fires could be pre-
vented, and that all fire losses were
taxed up against the people by the in-
surance companies. As an illustra-
tion he said that Whitewright was
now paying twenty-seven per cent
penalty for fire losses had here the
past few years. Several years ago
Whitewright had a fifteen per cent
good fire credit, but this credit has
been lost and a twelve per cent pen-
alty added during the past few years.

diction was that she would continue
to serve her term of office until the
last minute—Jan. 18, 1927, the day
Dan Moody is to be inaugurated as
chief executive.
Several other members of the
Legislature, who remained in Austin
Saturday, discussed the prospects of
a second balled session to come after
the general election, some believing
it would be reconvened Nov. 15.
Those who think the second spe-
cial session may come, say the Gov-
ernor probably will call it to provide
revenues to meet the appropriations
of the recent session, particularly
that of $3,500,000 for the schools to
insure the $14 per capita apportion-
ment. There are others who say the
Fergusons wish to saddle the large
deficit on the Moody administration
and will not call the session to meet
recent appropriations amounting to
$5,400,000.
