has been placed in the window
of the Banner-Press by V. W.
Hackworth, who bought it from
the local typewriter exchange.
. It was built by the Hammond
Typewriter Co. back in 1890
when it was first bought by
Dan Williams. After 15 years of
service, it was sold to B. J. Har-
ris, colored undertaken of Bren-
ham ,in 1905. Harris did all his
work on the machine until 1938
when he sold it to the type-
writer exchange. Hackworth

The importance of Brenham
as a wholesale center is reflect-
ed in the figures just i-eleased
by the U. S. Census Bureau.
During 1939, the 38 wholesale
establishments in the city did a
total business of $4,335,000, em-
ployed 134 persons, and had an
annual payroll of $143,000. For
the remainder of the county,
five establishments employing
nine persons at a payroll of $6,-
000, did a business of $162,000.
The volume of business done by
Brenham wholesalers put this
city in a class with such places
as Corsicana, Texarkana, Tem-
ple, Brownwood, and Browns-
ville, all cities of muqh greater
population.

The United States and Great Britain were reported at
Belgrade today to have intervened in an eleventh hour effort
to encourage Jugoslavia to stand firm against the Axis, as
Germany claimed heavy bUiws against British shipping in
the Atlantic.
Well informed Jugoslav sources believed the Anglo-
American move came too late to, prevent Jugoslavia from
joining the Axis sphere as soon uh a current cabinet crisis
can be solved.
The United States was reported to have outlined to Jugo-
slav leaders the many possible effects which the lend-leaae
law may have on the war.
Britain was said to have indicated what aid Jugoslavia
could expect if she stood up to Germany.
Two of Germany's tautest and

"Expensive, and I
"Weak and without authority.”
Formal criticism of the new_
board was set out in a statement
issued by • the I.egion's central
council executive committee after-
a special called meeting was held
Friday night in the Chamber of 1 i
Commerce. I k
The formal statement wan)
adopted only after more fiery crit-
Iciam of the board was launched
In the meeting, Legionnaires who
attended the session said. It was
in the discussions in the meeting :
that the department was sub-
jected’ • t<K the severest criticism j
and was branded as useless. • I
Chief point of criticism was the
fact that the new city agency,,
headed by a $450-a-month direct-
or, has .no authority over defense
guard units, the armed forces of
government, and no power to co
ordinate activities of patriotic and ‘
public-spirited groups already
drained for defense and disaster

Mrs. Levy stated that rock gar-
dens are usually found in some
nook or corner where there is1
some shade and some sun, thus
providing for both shade and sun
loving plants. Rocks selected
should be large and small, natural
and artificial. Sandstone rocks
are most desired, red rocks add
color. Some rocks that hold mois-1
