He says he is a cracker and
explains that the conchs, pro-

live in the snake and crocodile
bogs along the canals of the
Monroe County, which Is the

The conch is a kind of snail

“Well, what is the joke?" our

called the laughing gulls a vari-

The captain’s professional em-

6000 Messengers Here For
Three-Day Baptist
Convention
The progress of modern church-
es is made possible by live, well-
organised Sunday schools. Dr.
Millard A. Jenkens of Abilene told
the Baptist State Sunday School
Convention here today.
Broadway Baptist Church audi-
torium was packed to capacity to
hear the Abilene minister deliver
the key message of the morning
session. Nearly 6000 messengers
to the three-day convention had
registered at noon today. The
convention closes tomorrow.
"Southern Baptists led the na-
tion last year in new members,
and this was largely due to the
emphasis placed on Sunday
schools," Dr. Jenkens said. "A
Sunday school that teaches all
ages from the cradle roll depart-
ment to the grey-haired adults
gives the church a solidified front
that’s hard to break down."
Today Is Dallas Day
Dr. Jenkens' address followed
12 teacher conferences and a ses-
sion on the daily vacation Bible
schools. Today was “Dallas Day”
at the convention, and leaders
from Dallas churches said they
would beat Fort Worth's attend-
ance of 1200 yesterday. Gaines-
ville also sent a large delegation
today.
Houston and San Angelo are ex-
pected to make strong bids for the
1935 convention.
A plea for the return of religion
In government and business was
the theme of an address this aft-
ernoon by George J. Mason of Dal-1
lu, General Convention treas-
urer.
"Don't Blame Depression”
"Don't blame the depression
and the law for the plague of
thieving arid racketeering," Mr.
Mason urged. "The fault is in our
measure of values. We have made
money the proof and test of excel-
lence,
"Possession of a million dollars'
has excused the methods employed
to get it. Until America learns,
to judge men by what they do and
what they are, the golden calf will
remain a god. Man's financial
gains have not been in proportion
to his moral and spiritual prog-
ress."
The speaker warned that capi-
talism must go unless it is Chris-
tianized.
“Must Forget Profit"
"We must forget the element of
profit in business," tie continued.
"Profit sharing must be the
watchword of the new day. Man's
agreed and selfishness must be
supplanted by faith, hope and
charity.” * .
Pat Neff, Baylor University
president, and William P. Phil-
lips, secretary of adult and young
people’s work on the Southern
Baptist Board, Nashville, will
speak tonight.
Dr. J. Howard Williams of
Dallas, executive board secretary
of the General Baptist Convention
of Texas, spoke at last night's
general session. During January,
264 more churches gave to mis-
sions than in January last year,
he said.
Rev. J. D. Grey, Ennis, also
spoke. -
A plea from Rev. Stanley
Wilkes of Dallas to “give our
boys and girls a chance" featured
the afternoon session yesterday.

Tyler Member of Board May
Resign, But Intends To
Make Expose
By United Press. •
AUSTIN, April 11.—Carl Estes,
Tyler, member of the State Be-
lief Commission, here today said
he would await court action on
removal of Commissioner R. L.
Holliday before deciding if he
will resign.
Reserving a formal statement
until the courts rule, Mr. Estes
said:
"I will say at this time that if
the courts should hold that a
member can be jerked from the
commission at the whim of the
person who appointed him, then
I shall instantly resign my place,
> but until such a decision is made,
I shall certainly stick to my guns
and make an exposure of the mo-
tivating influences behind the
unjust removal of two of the best
men In Texas—'Bob' Holliday and
Adam Johnson. -
"I know the exact reasons for
the dismissal of Mr. Holliday and
Mr. Johnson. They are purely
political. When Adam Johnson
kept his pledge to sweep politics
out of the relief organization and
dismissed a number of walking
delegates for a certain guberna-
torial candidate, they went out to
get him’ and they got him. The
only way they could remove him
was.to oust Mr. Holliday, Hous-
ton Harte, or myself. They chose
Mr. Holliday.
“I am fully-acquainted with the
details of the maneuvering to ob-
tain a change in the commission
personnel, and will expose them
In due time: The results certain-
ly reflected no credit on those re-
sponsible for such a ruthless sac-
rifice of two honorable men.
“When the public “ is made
aware of all the facts, it will
mean the political death of more
than one of the men responsible
for the deal. In one of these men
I am utterly surprised. I did not
think It was possible."
Attorneys Dan Moody arid R.
L. Batts, engaged by Mr.. Holliday
to contest his removal by Speaker
Coke Stevenson, called at the at-
torney general's office today.
They are expected to file suit
during the day.

Last September 13- the Rail-
road Commission ordered Lena
Star GasCo. to cut gate rates at
the city gates of Fort Worth and
250 other Texas cities and towns,
from 40 to 32 cents, effective
Oct. 1.
The cut. It passed on to con-
sumers here, would have saved
them $229,000 a year, or $600
a day, and thruout the company's'
entire territory would have saved
consumers $1,400,000 a year.
The company sought to go into
federal court to appeal the de-
cision but, as in the Laredo case.
Attorney General Allred was suc-
cessful in having the federal
court remand the case for trial
to a state court.
Council Did Not Act.
However, Fort Worth City
Council took no action to lower
domestic rates In conformity with
the commission’s decision, before
the company appealed to the
courts, and has taken none since.
The Laredo case stemmed di-
rectly off action by City Council
to reduce rates there, and consum-
ers will get a refund if the cut is
finally upheld. 1
Failure of the Fort Worth
Council to act makes it problem-
atical whether, it’the courts up-

"Two things
Iwanted-
“...more strength and a clear skin.”
It is well to remember that a probable reason
why you do not have red lips, rosy cheeks, A
clear skin, good health, energy and cheerfulness
is that your blood is in a run-down condition.
Lack of hemo-glo-bln, the red-coloring of the
blood, may also cause a weakened condition of
the body ... loss of strength... poor appetite.
Neglect of, diet, worry, overwork, colds or
sickness, frequently break down and retard the
natural development of the red-blood-cells and
their oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bln. *
Why not set in motion the rebuilding of these
precious blood-cells instead of procrastinating
and sacrificing your appearance and the feeling
of being well and fit?
If your condition suggests a tonic of this
kind, try S.S.S. It is not just a so-called tonic
but a tonic specially designed to stimulate gas-
tric secretions, and also having the mineral ele-
ments so very, very necessary in rebuilding the
oxygen-carrying hemo-glo-bin of the blood. Un-
less your case is exceptional, you should soon
notice a pick-up in your appetite... your color
and skin should improve with increased strength
and energy. . 4
S.S.S. is truly a blood and body tonic. Its
value has been proven by generations of use, as
well as by modern scientific appraisal
