Miss Ruth Musgrave, a Disciple of
Christ missionary to Africa since
1918, spoke to an attejitive<-audience
at the CentraL'Christian Church
Tuesday evening.
Miss Musgrave gave much inter-
esting information concerning the
natives at Lotumbe, Belgian-Congo,
Africa, their customs, their mode of
living and their strides in civiliza-
tion. ' She brought out the fact that
ten cents a day will feed, clothe and
educate a child in that country,
showing to what good use missionary
funds are applied.
Miss Musgrave was a guest in the
home of Rev. A. E. Major while

Denver, April 27.—Miss Irene
Gimbel, suffering from the effects
of a 63-day fast, came out of a four-
day coma Monday and was fully con-
scious of the presence of relatives in
her room. She is unable to move or
speak, but is expected to recover.
The young chiropractic student
started what was to have been a 15
to 20-day fast to cure a liver disor-
der. At the end of the period she
attempted to take food, but was un-
able to do so, and has been forced to
fast ever since.

ing, east of the W. J. Barbee insur-
ance office.
In connection with the show., a
Baby Show will be held each after-
noon, for babies under eighteen
months old. Two prizes will be
awarded each afternoon, one for the
most perfect boy and one for the
most perfect girl. This event is open

Jesse McIver had charge of
weekly program at the Rotary Club
last Friday, and was also editor of
the “Spring Balance,” the weekly
paper issued by the club. Jesse
showed that he knows how to work
out of a hard place, when it becomes
necessary. He stated in the paper
that he was not much of an editor,
and that as everyone expected the
iceman to give short weight, he ar-
ranged his copy in a way that it
took the back page of the publication
for him to say sixteen words. By
doing this he said he would not dis-
appoint anyone.
After telling about the hard road
the iceman has to travel, Jesse turn-
ed the meeting over to Ed LaRoe,
president of the club, who presented
several matters for the consideration
of the club.
The Rotary meeting this week will
be held Thursday at noon instead of
the usual day, Friday. This change
was made on account of a district
convention to be held at the Baptist
Church Friday. At the noon hour
the ladies of the Baptist Church will
serve lunch to the visitors, which is
the usual houi’ for the Rotary meet-
ing. These meeting are also held at
the Baptist annex.
For the benefit of readers of The
Sun who reside in other sections of
the state, we want to say that there
has been no rain in the Whitewright
section since last Sunday, and this
is Thursday morning. Some few
farmers have begun work in their
fields, and with one or two more
pretty days cotton planting will be
in full swing.
A decoration day program will be
held at the Vittitoe Cemetery, south-
west of town, Sunday afternoon at
2:30, May 1st. All those having
loved ones buried at this cemetery
are invited to be present.

Chicago, April 27.—Boys—freckl-
ed faced, clean faced, dirty faced,
teen age boys—will be the center of
interest for the coming week from
New York to San Francisco and
from Vancouver to Tampico. The
period from April 30 to May 7 is the
officially designated Boys’ Week.
The object of the movement,
which will be observed in more than
two thousand cities, is to focus the
attention of the public on the boy as
a nation’s greatest asset, according
to Walter W. Head, an Omaha bank-
\ er, chairman of the general commit-
tee- in charge of the affair. The
committee also hopes to interest
boys in themselves and to emphasize
fundamentals in character bttildirig.
Mr. Head is most insistent in stat-
ing what Boys’ Week is not. “We
are not trying to raise funds,” Mr.
Head said here today. “We do not
want to exploit the boy and we do
not want to provide him with a
wreek’s holiday by this celebration..
We are anxious to give every youth
an equal chance to work out his des-
tiny without the handicap of under-
privilege or overprivilege.”
Word reaching William
Butcher of New York, secretary of
the committee, indicates that partic-
ular interest is being displayed by
local committees in Hobby Fairs and
Achievement Exhibitions. Hobby
Fairs are for the display of what-
ever the boys of the community care
to collect, such as stamps and coins,
or botanical and geological spec-
imens.
Achievement Exhibitions are prize
contests for articles made by the
boys’ own hands, such as radio sets,
household utensils, leather goods,
etc.
Among the cities which are plan-
ning particularly impressive celebra-
tions are: New York, Kansas City,
Memphis, San Francisco, Baltimore,
Philadelphia, Fort Worth, San An-
tonio, Binghamton, N. Y., and Rome
and Savannah, Ga.
Each day will be devoted to some
special phase of boy life. Saturday,
April 30, has been designated Boys’
Loyalty day. It will be featured
generally by parades. In many
cities, boys are being urged to bring
their* pets along with them to the
march.
Sunday, May 1, is Boys’ Day in
churches. Fathers are urged to at-
tend services with their sons and
many ministers are planning special
services for that occasion. Monday
is (Boys’ Day in schools and Tuesday,
Boys’ Day in industry. Wednesday
is turned over to athletics and enter-
tainment, Thursday, to citizenship
and Friday, to health.
Friday evening has been set apart
for the Boy in the Home and Boys’
Day Out of Doors closes the week.
The semi-annual Fannin County
singing convention will be held at
Marvin Chapel, five miles east of
town, Saturday night and Sunday.
A large crowd is expected and sev-
eral quartettes from a distance will
take part in the program.
Austin, April 27.—Gasoline tax
collections for March will be approx-
imately $900,000, according to S. H.
Terrell, State Comptroller. Five oil
companies already have remitted
taxes to the amount of $601,031, as
compared to $283,776 for these
same companies in February.
Gasoline taxes paid by these five
companies are as follows:
Gulf Refining Company, $178,-
023; Magnolia Petroleum Company,
$172,570; the Texas Company,
$151,023; Pierce Petroleum Corpo-
ration, $52,553; Humble Oil and Re-

The home economics class sponsor-
ed this entertainment for the pur-
pose of providing funds to send dele-
gates to the State Clothing Contest

The Whitewright Boy Scouts’
baseball team went to Denison last
Saturday and defeated the Scout

The Scouts have not been defeat-
ed this season. They have defeated
Trenton Scouts, 7 to 4 and 14 to 4,
and tied Trenton high school, 4 to 4.
Saturday the Denison Scouts will
come to Whitewright for a game,
which will be played at the high
school athletic park at 3:30 p. m.
Admission will be 10 and 15 cents,

of 1 cent per gallon from March 11 needed supplies for the local Scouts,
to March 16, inclusive, and at the
rate of 3 cents per gallon from
March 17 to March 31, inclusive,
Comptroller Terrell said.
Grayson County is again present-
ed w-ith a definite plan for* the im-
provement of her highway system
that will place the county on a parity
with the other sections of the State
that have forged ahead in the mat-
ter of improved roads.
After a series of conferences with
the State Highway Department at
Austin to determine the amount of
funds that the State and Federal
highway departments would appro-
priate to the building of hard sur-
faced roads in Grayson County on
our main traveled highways, a mass
meeting of the citizens of Grayson
County was called to meet at the
court house in Sherman April 19th.
At this meeting the people were in-
formed that the State and Federal
governments would give Grayson
County approximately $1,680,000 if
the county would vote bonds to join
them in the construction of a sys-
tem of first class roads in this coun-
ty.
The mass meeting agreed that the
offer of the State Highway Depart-
ment should be embraced, and a
committee, two from each voting
precinct in Grayson County, was ap-
pointed to wTork out and submit to a
subsequent mass meeting a definite
plan. The committee representing
the several precincts met at the
court house April 22nd, and after
hearing reports from the 59 subdi-
visions of the county, appointed a
smaller committee to make further
effort to work out, equalize and har-
monize the various interests and de-
vise a specific plan.
The smaller committee of 16 rep-
resentative citizens of Grayson
County made the following report,
which was adopted by the larger
committee and then by the mass
meeting, again assembled at the
court house Tuesday of this week:
“We recommend a bond issue of
approximately $2,500,000' to be vot-
ed by the people of Grayson County,
to take up all outstanding special
road district bonds, to join the state
and federal governments in the con-
struction of 72 miles of Class A
road, concrete or its equivalent, on
highways 5, 6 and 91 and for the
construction of 33 miles of Class B
road to cost not to exceed $17,500 a
mile on state highway No. 10 lead-
ing from Whitesboro south to the
Denton County line, and State High-
a Waco
way commission
this program.”
Upon the adoption
report the chairman
meeting appointed
committee of eight
with the Commissioners Court in the
final shaping up of the plans in ac-
cordance with the general outline
adopted, with a view of ordering an
election and submitting the proposi-
tion to the voters:
J. L. Blackburn of Howe, Mack
Echols of Whitewright, J. M. McLe-
more of Van Alstyne, Claud Badgett
of Bells, John Sadlei* of Whitesboro,
Edgel Jackson of Preston, Lee Sim-
mons of Sherman and Ben Munson
Jr. of Denison were named on this
committee.
It must be at once admitted that
the report of the committee as
adopted by the mass meeting is the
most constructive road improve-
ment program that has ever been of-
fered the people of this county. It
embraces only the State and Fed-
eral roads in the county, which are
happily located in a manner to serve
the i greatest needs and be of great-
est benefit to the county as a whole.
Only a moderate tax, not exceeding
40 cents on the one hundred dollars,
is involved, and with the likelihood
that the plan can be carried to com-
pletion with a 35 cent tax. This
comes about by reason of the
very liberal assistance pledged by
the State Highway Department and
by the aid of the cities of
and Denison, which pay
imately one half of the
share of the expenditure.
Under the plan Grayson County
will get over one hundred miles of
the highest type of roads, so located
that they serve every section of the
county, connect up with the high-
ways of Fannin, Collin, Denton and
Cooke Counties and provide an out-
let to two important gateways to
Oklahoma.

Oxford, ‘Md., April 27.—This lit-
tle village on the banks of the Tred
Avon River is going to have a res-
ident physician if it has to spend
$40,000 to get him.
The population of Oxford is about
900. The village found a young-
physician who was convinced that
there were enough disease germs in
the village to enable it to support
him. But when the young physician
discovered that Oxford has neither
water nor sewage system, he feared
to risk his reputation with too many
germs, so he hied himself back to
the city.
Oxford now has authority from
the State Legislature to issue bonds
for $40,000 for a water supply sys-
tem and a sewage disposal plant.
When the improvements are install-
ed the village will cast about once
more for a physician.
Robert - Gillan of Whitesboro was
elected president of the Grayson
County Odd Fellows’ Anniversary
Association at the annual meeting
of the association held at White-
wright Tuesday. Other officers
elected were Mrs. E. L. Williams of
Gordonville, vice president; Mrs.
Edith Woods of Sherman, secretary,
and Mrs. W. P. Strickland of Collins-
ville, treasurer.
The next meeting of the associa-
tion will be held in Whitesboro. J. D.
Buster of Sherman, grand master-
elect of the Grand Lodge of Texas,
I. O. O. F., the principal speaker on
the program, delivered an address on
“Odd Fellowship.” E. B. Martin
gave a welcome address in behalf of
the city of Whitewright. The wel-
come address in behalf of local Odd ■
Fellows was made by Lucian An-
drews. A response to this address
was made by Judge Dayton B. Steed
of Sherman. . Dr. Flora Harbert
made a short address of welcome on
behalf of local Rebekahs. A re-
sponse was made by Mrs. L. A. Har-
rison of Sherman. The invocation
at the opening of the meeting was \
given by the Rev. J. H. Hankins.
Several special musical numbers <
were included in the program dur- \
ing the day. A solo number was '
rendered by Mrs. E. L. Williams of
Gordonville. The Misses Halibur-
ton, sisters, gave, a duet, and J. C.
Hannah gave a reading.
In his address Mr. Buster gave a
few statistics showing the growth of
the Odd Fellows Lodge since it was
organized April 26, 1819, and
the present condition of the order.
Mr. Buster said: “Thomas Wiley,
an Englishman and a coach maker
by trade in Baltimore, Md., was the
organizer of the lodge, which had
five charter members. There were
only 568 members in 1828 and now
the membership is nearly 6,000,000.
We now have lodges in fifteen coun-
tries, besides America.
“The state having the largest
membership is Pennsylvania, with a
total of 200,000 members,” Mr. Bus-
ter said. He stated that Texas Odd
Fellowship is in splendid condition,
and that now the organization has
over a half million dollars’ worth of
property, located at Corsicana and
Ennis. He also stated that $34,000
was spent last year for relief of the
distress of women and children in
Texas.
Speaking of the conditions at the
present in Grayson County, Mr. Bus-
ter said, “Things are exceedingly
good, and we hope to double the
membership in the next twelve
months.”
Besides the election of officers at
the business meeting in the after-
noon, a committee on by-laws was
appointed. This committee is com-
posed of Mrs. Gertrude Rader of
Denison, chairman, Mrs. Edith Wood
of Sherman and Mrs. Mary Self of
Whitesboro.
The memorial service and the
draping of the charter for deceased

The team was led
J. R. Oliver sold 281 bales of cot-
ton Saturday to a buyer at Green-
ville. The cotton is being shipped
out this week. Mr. Oliver received
15 cents a pound for 256 bales and
9 cents for 25 bales of snap cotton.
White & Donigan sold 200 bales
of cotton the latter part of last week
for* 15.75. This cotton was stored
at Dallas.
These two sales about brings the
cotton season to a close for the
Whitewright buyers. There is still a
few bales of cotton in this section to
be sold, but the number is very
small. The buyers realized a nice
profit from the sales made the past
week, as most of this cotton was
bought the latter part of last year
when the market was at its lowest.
Team number one will be guests
of team number two at a banquet in
celebration of the membership cam-
paign of Preston Everheart Post,
American Legion, which closed
Wednesday night with 27 new mem-
bers. Team number one procured
17 of this number and team number
two, 10. The post was divided equal-
ly into two teams for the campaign,
with the understanding that the los-
ing team would banquet the winning
team, together with new members
procured.
At a meeting of the post Wednes-
day night, dates for the annual
American Legion Picnic were de-
cided upon, July 7, 8 and 9 having
been selected. The picnic will be
held in the park’ owned by J. D.
Hoard, as heretofore, and the legion
boys are planning for a bigger and
better picnic than ever before at-
tempted.

the senior class. An interesting
program was given following the
banquet.
William A. Williams died at the
home of his son, City Marshal
Henry Williams, of Trenton, Mon-
day night at 10:30 o’clock, following
a four weeks illness.

children formerly resided in White-
wright, and Mr. Williams made his
home here part of the time during
their residence here.
The funeral service was held at
Oak Hill Cemetery Tuesday after-
noon at 4 o’clock. The service was
conducted by Rev. T. W. Lovell of
Trenton, assisted by Rev. J. L.
Truett.

children, three of whom are Henry
Williams of Trenton, Mrs. Oscar
Pierce of Greenville and Mrs. C. A.

merly resided in Whitewright.

Shanghai, and is now on the way to
the Philippines. However, news has
also been cabled that the mission sta-

lost all her household and personal
property, so the Christian Church
here is raising a fund to send her to
help replace her loss. Knowing the
many warm friends she has in
