TWENTY-NINTH YEAR.
Extraordinary Program at
Pure Food Show Here
CELINA, TEXAS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1930.
The Pure Food Show, sponsored by
the Ladies of hte Presbyterian Church
opened today for a three days run,
closing Saturday night.
This show will have been given for
several years when this one
is over and each has been a show that
had no little merit.
This one, according to those in
charge, will be better than any that
has gone before.
For the first night Pool’s Hawaiians
of McKinney, have been secured as
entertainers (Thursday night) and are
an aggregation of really high-class ar-
tists, offering Hawaiian numbers in
costume.
Friday night Floyd Graham and his
band of musicians from the Teachers
^College at Denton will be the enter-
tainers. The people of this communi-
ty know this to be an organization of
high order and they are expected to be
a drawing card.
Saturday night Mr. Otto Strid, the
■champion accordionist of Sweden, will
entertain the show visitors with his
marvelous accordion numbers. When
the ladies asked the T. P. & L. Co.,
which sponsors Mr. Strid, if they
would need any assistance in enter-
taining the crowd, Mr. Fisher, adver-
tising manager, told them to have no
fear, that he is competent to put on
a firstclass attraction all by himself.
Aside from the entertainment fea-
tures there will be many exhibits to
invite the attention of those who at-
tend.
Thursday afternoon the people who
attend the Pure Food Show will have
the pleasure of hearing a program
rendered by about fifteen of Miss New-
som’s Junior pupils, who will rneder
Japanese songs and negro lullabys.
On the first night (Thursday) Mc-
Kinney will send over a delegation, ac-
cording to a letter from W. Hammond
Moore, Secretary of the McKinney
Chamber of Commerce.
A feature of the program to be giv-
en Friday night by Floyd Graham’s
chers College band, from Denton,
be the hand mascot and junior di-
rector. He will direct the band and
sing. This mascot is Billy Floyd
Brooks, aged 8. His remarkable tal-
ent has secured for him much favor-
able comment by Texas newspapers.
Following is an outline of. the Fri-
day night program:
Theme Song “So Beats My Heart
For You.”
I Still Get a Thrill—Stage Band,
Billy Floyd directing.
Trombone Solo, “Dancing With

tertainers appear.

Bobcats Opened Season
With Scoreless Battle
Saturday afternoon Coach Jackson
led his Bobcats against the Sherman
Bear Kittens in the opening game of
the season with an at-home game.
Both teams did good work and
showed up well for the first game of
the season. Several times during the
battle each team threatened the oth-
er, but failed to score because of the
strong lines.
Celina outplayed the Sherman boys
throughout the game, but, for some
reason, could not put that pigskin ac-
ross the line. Celina made ten first
downs and Sherman made two. Amos
Clark and P. B. Taylor were the Bob-
cats who made the best showing in the
game, but all played football. If you
do not think they can, just drop around
for the next game.
Only two subs were sent in by the
Bobcats, Ownsby and Smith, both of
the backfield.
The coach has planned a hard work-
out for this week, as the Bobcats meet
Garland Friday at Garland and intend
to take the game, if possible.

probably others of Whom we have not
learned. v
During the suspension of word dur-
ing the heated term by the Cottage
Hill Home Demonstration Club some-
one broke into their club house and
took two steam-pressure cookers and
two sealers.
The house was locked and no one
suspected that the equpiment would
be molested, but upon visiting the
place the other day, it was found that
the door was unlocked and the equip-
ment named gone, the value of which
is more thtn $100.
The ladies are much perturbed and
are planning ways and means of re-
placing their stolen equipment that
they may resume their work.

prospects of the many fine exhibits
that are expected to be entered in the
sevral dpartments.
Even though much space for ex-

required to accomodate the exhibitors.

creasing the $300-fuift» already avail-
able sufficiently to provide barbecue
for the guests on Friday, October 3.
Entertainment Committee Active
The committee has an unusal-
ly fine line of events to offer for the
entertainment of the great crowds
that will throng our streets during the
days of the Fair. Such as Bands,
popular quartets, negro minstrels,
stunts, novelty races, hot orchestras,
and what not. There will be something
to please every person.
Pleasure will be mixed with valu-
able information. Many interesting
and instructional exhibits will make
these two days valuable to the most
exacting and serious minded persons.
Come one. Come all.

Celina Man in Dallas
Hospital—Alarm Felt
M illett Waddle, son of Mr. and Mrs.
J. F. Waddle, who lives on his father’s
farm, north of Celina, was taken to a
Dallas hospital Sunday in the hope
that something might be done for him.
Mr. Waddle swallowed a collar but-
ton when was a child and of late it has
been giving him much trouble. The
button has been photographed and is
known to be in the top of one of his
lungs. It has caused him to suffer
hemorrhages and what to do about it
has been a serious question with his
immediate family and tnat of his par-
ents.
It had been hoped that' he could be
gotten in condition to have an opera-
tion for the removal of the button,
but it is feared that his condition may
not improve sufficiently to permit the
operation.
The latest word from the hosiptal
is that Mr. Waddle’s condition is im-
proving and that he is able to sit up.

Plot to Starve Soviet *
Causes Execution of 4§
Moscow, Sept. 24.—All members of
a secret counter revolutionary society,
numbering forty-eight who were found
guilty of seeking to starve the popu-
lation of the Soviet Union by destroy-
ing the food reserves of the country,
were shot Wednesday by ogpu as the
‘"unreconcialable enemies of the Soviet
Gqvrnment and active counter-revolu-
tionists.”
Prof. Alexander Ryazantzev and
Eugene Karatyguin headed the list of
executed government officials as the
initiators and organizers of the socie-
ty.
The Soviet Government announced
Sept. 22 the disclosure of a powerful,
counter-revolutionary society embrac-
ing organizations of the meat, fish,
vegetable and other food industries as
well as the commissariat of trade and
State planning institutions.
The ogpu (secret police) charged
the. society with striving to create a
tood shotage throughout the country,
thus exciting the resentment of the
population and preparing the ground
for the overthrow of the proletarian
dictatorship. The authorities said it
was che purpose to establish a bur-
geois democracy.
The society was said to be headed by
Prof. Syazantev, chairman of the
meat products department of the com-
missariat, formrely a rich landowner
and a General in the Czarist army.
The society included high officials in
all branches of the Soviet food produc-
ing and distributing institutions. Most
of the members were former noble-
men, Lzarist officers, manufacturers
and property owners.
The secret police declared that, ac
cording to a confession which the ob-
tained, the society was initiated and
subsidized by a British meat packing
firm,.
Those arrested were understood to
have ben tried by a police body instead
of the Supreme Court.
