ASSOCIATION
Granger's first bale is expected
any day.

Moody, Ma anl Pa are occupying the
front page right now.
In place of criticism or condemna-
tion, give the encouraging word.

It was so hot one day this week
that a man on the street came near
melting his celluloid collar.
The big department stores in the
cities are having their annual blanket
sales. It makes you hot to think
about it.
Enough of poison has been scatter-
ed over Granger this week to.kill ev-
ery insect and we hope the dose will
be sufficient to do a good job of It.

Moody Raps Vain
Effort Against Him
Attorney General Victorious in Demo-
cratic Executive Committee
Fight.
Dallas, Texas, August 9.—The state
democratic executive committee,
which today agreed to certify the
names of Governor Miriam A. Fergu-
son and Attorney General Dan Moody
as candidate for governor in the run-
off primary and heard Moody assail
the petition of the Ferguson forces
against certification of his name for
a place on the ticket.
The petition was overruled by the
committee.
It set forth that R. L. Bobbitt, can-
didate for state representative, and
Lee Satterwhite, Speaker of the
House and candidate for re-election
to the house had contributed $250 to
Moody's campaign expense account
statement false, and therefore dis-
qualified him as a candidate, the pe-
tition declared.
Further charges were made that
many votes for Ferguson were count-
ed for Moody, and that many voters
were cause to violate the election laws
by persons electioneering in the el-
ction booths. It was allged that
Moody assented to such acts, and
hereby became a principal.
The committee announced the offi-
cial canvas of the July 24 primary
vote to be Moody 409,432; Ferguson
283,482; Davidson 122,449; Zimmer-
man 2,942; Williams 1,580 and John-
ston 1,129. Necessary for majority
411,502.
In concluding presentation of the
protest Mr. Curtis said there may be
serious doubt whether the committee

An army of grasshoppers, accord-
ing to newspaper reports, swooped
down on the town of San Saba last
Saturday K*veral million strong. Pos-
sibly it was the advance guard oi the

Plans are under way to beautify the
school campus. Piping has been laid
which will give plenty of water and
flowers and grass will be planted to
make it one beauty spot. The Par-
«nts-Teachers Association will pos-
sibly have charge.
It is about the time of year for the
medicine man to come around and sell
to the dear people his various quack
nostrums. Funny how some folks
will dig down into their jeans and buy
colored water with a littlo saltz ad-
ded at an exhorbitant price. But
they'll do it.
The canning habit is a good one.
When winter comes, there is no bet-
ter eating than some of Grandma's
preserves. Fruit jar sales have been
heavy this year which indicates that
the busy housewife is planning for
the future by preserving and canning.
A home cannery is one way to keep
the wolf from the door.
A hundred or more pounds of mail
order catalogues reached Granger for
distribution Tuesday morning. As
scarce as money is, it is a downright
sihame for people to patronize mail
order houses* when they could get
their needs from home business men,
who share with them in their misfor-
tunes and rejoice with them in times
of prosperity. If you send money
iiway, it never comes back.
Saturday night while Curtis Con-
<lra and some boy friends were mot-
oring to Granger, a Taylor car ran
into them from behind, striking one
of the rear wheels, cutting the cas-
ing and jamming the motor with such
force that the trankcase, was burst-
ed and wrecking the car badly. For-
tunately no one was hurt, although
they had a very narrow escape.—
Bartlett Tribune.
"There is also doubt as to whether
quo warranto warranto proceedings
would suffice to clear up the questions
involved. Therefore we state that we
will reserve the right to seek relief in
the courts." *
Chairman Eidson said the commit-
tee was without authority to act.
Without^ a dissening vote, and on mo-
tioh f B. Y. Cummings of Wichita
Falls, the ruling was sustained. Mr.
Cummings included in this motion a
provision to allow time for Mr. Moody
or his friends to file such answer as
he or they might care to make, if any.
"We want this record to be com-
plete," he said.
Moody in a speech before the com-
mittee denonced the Ferguson peti-
tion as a document "presented for a
sinister political purpose" and de-
clared it to l>e "false and without
foundation."
The yonng attorney general was ac-
corded an enthdsiastic greeting by his
friends among the committeement and
the visitors. There was cheering and
shouting for almost a minute.
He was presented by Mr. Graves,
chairman of the sub-committee, after
passage of a motion by Mr. Cummings
which extended him n invitation to
answer the petition when he saw fit.
The petition was placed on file.
At the conclusion of Moody's talk
the committee adjourned, to be fol-
lowed by a meeting of Moody support-
ers in the same room. The meeting
ws called by Oscar B. Colquitt, form-
er governor, and its chief action was
to call a mass meeting of citizens of
Texs to meet at Fair Park in Dallas
at 10 a. m. next Saturday, August 14.
Moody again spoke before this
meeting and displayed a fighting
mood. He declared that if the Fer-
guson's "wish to assail the principles
of free government and democracy I
am ready to go down the line with
them in a fight from the Red River
to the Rio Grande."
HEAVY MILO CROP
GRANGER LOSES ANOTHER
OLD LANDMARK
Granger loses another old landmark
in the passing of B. F. Shirley. He
was a kindly old man, who was ever
ready to extend a helping hind and
give what encouragement he could to
the sick and infirm. Although he
did not possess much of this world's
goods, his life was marked with many
good deeds as he journeyed from the
cradle to the grave. He did his duty
as best he could and his consecration
and faithfulness to his church and
friends made him an outstanding fig-
are. Now that death has come and he
is rfcfltin* underneath a bower of
florin, those who knew him best, pay
fitting tribute to his memory.
W. M. Messer has grown this year
what is said to be one of the heaviest
crops of milo ever seen in this sec-
tion. Tha crop has been estimated, at
75 to 100 bushels per acre by those
who have Seen it starding in the field.
As soon as the crop is a little more
matured Mr. Messer plans to measure
off a half acre and thresh the milo
off of it to determine the actual yield.
Corn planted adjoining the milo in
the same field will not produce the
feed on five acres that has been
grown on one acre of milo this year.
Mr. Messer >3 enthusiastic about the
yield he has secured and plans to in-
crease the small acreage planted this
year considerably next season.
The variety gi own by Mr. Messer is
dwarf milo of a strain known as
double dwarf. Dwarf m'lo is the heav-
iest yielding of any of the grain sor-
ghums and makes up a large part of
the acreage planted to grain sor-
ghums in West Texs each year. Dwarf
•nll'o has been developed from regular
or standard milo, but reaches a height
if only 3 to 5 feet while standard milo
makes a growth of 6 to 8 feet. Dwarf
milo excels standard milo both in
yield and in the ease of harvesting.
Granger's first bale came in today
just as we go to press. It was rais-
ed by Jno. Pruch and ginned by Frank
Mazoch.

BOOST FOR GRANGER]
Mz-. S. L. Merritt of Pledger, a sub-
scriber of the News was in Granger
last Friday. Mr. Merritt reports
crops good in his county. When ask-
ed about our chance of a crop hero,
ho stated that it would either be
good or very poor.
A revival meeting is being planned

open air near the church and there
will be plenty of seats for everybody.
SHIRLEY MASON AND ROBERT
FRAZER TOOK LONG CHANCE
Pair Spent Three Hours in Midst of
Terrific Desert Sand Storm
Shirley Mason and Robert Frazer
are agreed that the greatest hazard
they have yet undertaken in making
motion pictures occured during the
sand storm scene of Paramount's
"Desert Gold." They had to brave
Nature's tumult for three hours in
whirls of blinding sand and after tak-
ing refuge behind a huge rock their
danger was magnified when the rock
was turned loose to roll down a hill
"The Slope of Death"—with scar-
cely enough time to run for safety.
When the scene was over both need-
ed the attention of the camp physician
for severe cuts and bruises, which
were painful but not serious.
As a matter of truth Neil Hamilton
and William Powell as well as other
members of the cast of the Zanc
tlrey picturization concur in saying
that the striving for realism on the
part of George Seitz, director, and Lu-
cien Hubbard, supervisor, entailed
many hardships of which the picture
fan has little knowledge;
"Desert Gold" comes to the Alamo
Theatre on Monday and Tuesdty with
glowing reports, which repute it to be
one of the outstanding outdoor pic-
tures in the Paramount program this
year.
SOME PEACHES
When we speak of peaches we
sometimes refer to some dainty maid-
en with pretty curls and a winsome
smile, but what we started out to say
was not "peaches" in the flesh, but
those luscious specimens plucked from
the tree—and not from East Texas
either. Chas. Vitek brought to this
office nine big juicy fellows, three var-
ieties, including the famous Elberta,
which were grown near Granger.
They would take the prize anywhere
and were mighty good eating. Won-
der why more farmers do not take
the time to produce their own fruit?
Folks can't eat cotton, but they" can
sure have a good time eating peaches,
especially the kind that Charley
raises.

COUNTY AGENT TALKS
TO FARMERS
H. T. McCollum, county agent, on
request of a number of farmers and
business men, made an address at the
high school auditorium Wednesday
afternoon at 2:30 and discussed at
some length the leaf and boll worm
menace which now threatens the Wil-
liamson county cotton crop. There
were only a few present, however,
but they received a great deal of in-
formation in regard to poisons, prop-
er method of using, etc., that should
be valuable to them.
In discussing the various poisons
Mr. McCollum said that calcium ar-
senate was the best to use, consider-
ing its cheapness and effectiveness.
This may be dusted on by the pole and
bag method, but much better by some
type of dusting machine. It should
be used from 3 to 5 pounds per acre
according to the size of the plant.
This poison will not burn cotton stat-
ed Mr. McCollum, if applied in any
amount and does not have to be mix-
ed with anything else before using.
He stated positively that calcium ar-
senate will control the boll worm
when small.
He suggesed the next best remedy
to use was lead arsenate. This pois-
on is also applied straight in the sam*
quantity as calcium arsenate.
He said that Paris green may be
used but is apt to burn the plant. It
should be mixed with two parts of air
slacked lime to one part Paris green
or substitute a cheap grade of flour
for part of the lime. This is alright
but some lime should be used to pre-
vent burning of the plant.
There is a great demand for poisons
of all kinds and they are hard to get.
MRS. J. H. SERVER
Mrs. J. H. Server of Davilla died
suddenly Monday morning of heart
failure. Funeral services were con-
ducted Tuesday at 4 o'clock at the
M. E. Church by Rev. Joiner, pastor
of the Presbyterian Church in Gran-
ger and Rev. Black, pastor of the
Methodist church Davilla. She was

byterian faith. She is survived by
three sisters and one brother, Mrs. J.
H. Bryant, Granger; Mrs. I. E. Whit-
tington, Wichita Falls; Mr. Ed. D.
Barker, Gainsville, Texas.
