Collide—23 Are Dead
London, July 9-—Two British sub-
marines collided Tuesday in St.
George’s Channel off Fishguard, send-
ing No. 47 to the bottom with a loss
of all but two of her crew of twenty-
three and damaging the L-12 and
hilling two members of her crew.
Glenn Stiff at McKinney
McKinney, Texas, July 9.—Glenn
Stiff, 60, died suddenly Monday’ morn-
ing at his home in thtis city of heart
failure. He was a native of Collin
County and at the time of his death
owned the farm on which he was born.

•gun. The best diving apparatus
available was dispatched from Lon-
don and Portsmouth to the spot where
the H-47, one of the smaller type of
British submarines used for training
purposes, went down in 270 feet of
water.
First Lord of the Admiralty Alex-
ander had little hope the crew of the
H-47 could be brought up alive. He
announced in the House of Commons
that salvage of the submarine in such
a depth of water was mo^t improb-
able.
The H-47 Tuesday night lay three
times as deep as the level to which the
American submarine S-4 sank in
1927. Battleships, dockyard tugs and
expert submarine officers hastened to
St. George’s Channel from Ports-
mouth and Plymouth naval stations.
Sank Immediately.
Oeean salvage _ experts thought it
would be possible to locate the hull if
the weather continued fine but the
great depth at which it lay would
make diving operations most difficult.
The collision occurred while several
flotilas which have been holding ma-
neuvers off the coast of Ireland were
returning to their base.
The shock was so sudden that the
H-47 staggered and went down like
a crushed shell of steel. Lieut. R. J-
Gardner, her commanding officer, and
Sidney Cleburne, telegraph operator,
were the only men of her crew of
twenty-three who were saved. Both
of them were thought to have been in
the conning tower when the L-12
rammed their ship.
president of the Old Settlers’ Picnic
Association, of which organization he
had been a director for a number of
years. He was one of the county’s
largest landowners and stockmen and
was identified with numerous business
circles in the city and was a stock-
holder in the Texas Electric Company.
For several years Mr. Stiff had been
actively engaged in good roads work
in the county.
He is survived by his wife; a
daughter, Mrs. Julius Purnell; a
granddaughter, Edna Elizabeth Pur-
nell, and several sisters and brothers.
One brother, Roll Stiff, lives in Dallas.
Funeral services were held on Wed-
nesday, conducted by his pastor, Dr.
J. A. Old, pastor of the First Meth-
odist Church. Burial followed in
can Grove Ctmetery.

Mr. Duke of the Celina Mill & Ele-

The Record is informed that the

nearly two weeks, suffering from pushed right along until the work is

on his case.
MISS WINNIE CHANDLER DEAD
Bethel, July 10.—A much needed
rain fell Sunday morning in this com-
munity. Most farmers in this com-
not be long until a complete line of
stock and poultry feed is being man-
ufactured here.
It is hoped that in trying out pro-
ducts in this manner some crop or
crops to afford money between the
grain harvest and the cotton harvest
will be found.
These carrots leave no doubt that
this section will produce as finer car-
rots as can be found anywhere.

Terracing Demonstration
Not to Take Place Today
Recently County Agent Roy Saund-
ers informed the Record that a ter-
racing demonstration would take place
on some farm near Celina.
‘Mr. Saunders is herre today and in-
forms the Record that there will be
no demonstration as a result of condi-
tions over which he had no control.
Mr. Saunders and School Superin-
tendent Dorrough went out to Bate-
man Clark’s farm, east of town this
morning, expecting to do some ter-
racing, but found that growing crops
prevented making the terraces. The
same codition was found at other
places and it will be impractical to
terrace until the crops are off the land.
The Record man encountered J.
Thos. Robinson, who is an enthusias-
tic advocate of terracing and he stated
that if any doubter will visit his farm,
occupied by Jim Thompson, and see
the result of terracing, he will be con-
vinced of its merit.
Mr. Saunders is giving a number of
farmers in this section information
how to terrace when their crops are
out of the way and the prospect is that
there will be a lot of terracing done
as soon as possible.

Austin, July 10.—While committees
-estled with uninteresting figures,
leotloose legislators, waiting im-
.ciently for the financiers to get the
appropriation bills in shape, like to
speculate on next year’s state political
campaign.
Formal announcement of Senator
Thomas B. Love of Dallas for govern-
or has added fuel to the flames, and
everybody is counting on one of the
most colorful campaigns Texas has
ever witnessed.
As the situation stands now there
will be a field of eight or ten.
Already Five Announce.
There are now five avowed candi-
dates, Senator Love. Oscar B. Hol-
combe, former mayor of Houston,
Representative T. N. Mauritz of Gan-
ado, advocate of an income tax, Miss
Kate Daffan of Ennis, historian and
active in the United Daughters of the
Confederacy, and E. G. Sen:er of Dal-
las, writer and lawyer.
Some now in might get out. At
the outset of every gubernatorial cam-
paign there are announced candidates
who decide later to pull down before
the horses are led to the tape.
Miller Expected to Announce.
Lieutenant Governor Barry Miller
is depended on by a large following to
announce his candidacy in due time.
Gossip circulating freely through the
eapitol has it that Earle B. Mayfield,
former United States senator, con-
templates making the race. The
same current of talk c irries the lumoi
that if Senator Mayfield runs, former
Governor 'Pat M. Neff of Waco will
enter t)i'e field. Senator Mayfield and
Governor Neff had quite a spat lately

The following clipping from an Ok-

to the people of this community:
“Thelma Golding, 14-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Golding, 631
East 29th St., South, is in a danger-
ous condition at Wesley Hospital as

a spiral fracture of the left thigh, a
double fracture of the pelvic bone, in
addition to internal injuries.”

by way of Fayetteville, Ark., and
brought his family home and spent

Judge Andrews Opposes
Both of the Amendments
Judge Thomas C. Andrews of Mc-
Kinney has written the following op-
position to both of the proposed con-
stitutional amendments to be voted on
July 16:
Texas voters will be asked on July
16 to raise the Governor’s salary from
$4,000 to $10,000 and to increase the
Supreme Court Judges from three to
nine with unlimited salaries, which
will probably sart at $10,000.
The voters have repeatedly voted
dovrn such amendments for the la?
thirty years, but the Legislature stn.
keeps submitting them. They have
more than doubled county salaries,
doubled the number of Judges of the
District Courts of Civil Appeals, and
practically doubled their salar
making the expense of said cou
four times what it was thirty yea
ago. They ordered this year’s elect
on Tuesday, evidently hoping thi
so doing the farmers would b<
busy trying to make money tc
their already heavy taxes that
would not have time to go vote a*
another raise and the amend:
would get by.
Will said amendments help anybe
but the officeholders? Since we n
have three Supreme Court Judges £
six Commissioners, it is argued tl
said amendment would increase s
court’s expense only about $24,000
year. Now, the Legislature c
pense with the six Commi:
when they catch up with tht
but if said amendment carri
would still have to keep nine »
though there might not be «
work for three.
If the Governor can not
$4,000 a year when all necessar
furnished him except food ant
ing, and if the higher Judges <
live on $8,000 a year when all
saries are furnished them exee]
clothing and shelter, they a
aristocratic for a democratic cou
where 80 per cent of the families 1
to live on less than 10 per cent
those amounts.
Thomas Jefferson dethroned aris'
cracy over a century ago, but ma.
people are wanting to place it ba
upon the throne. They seem to wa
to make public salaries so high-thi
officeholders can revel in luxury and
extravagance while 80 per cent of the
people are unable to provide their
j families with sufficient food and cloth-
ing to keep them strong and healthy.
Instead of a land of independent cit-
1 izens, they would have it a land of ar-
rogant lords and dependent peasants.
They say the tax increase caused by
the amendments would be infinitesi-
mal. But it is just such increases as
that that have made taxes mountain
high. It was the last straw that
broke the camel’s back. Instead of
high salaries giving us better men, it
would tempt more demagogues to
practice corruption to get it. If you are
not satisfied with your present officers
the adoption of said amendments
would make it harder to get a change.
For a man who had scrambled for an
office when it paid only $4,000 per
year would scramble harder to hold
it at $10,000 per year.
