Hoe After Deadly
Snake Bite* Him
Linden, Tex., Sept. 3,—It
was revenge eight-year-old
Thomas Edward George want
ed when a rattlesnake bit him
on the foot while he was play-
ing hide-and-seek with two
other children.
The boy called to his moth'
er, Mrs. Tommy George, as he
ran past the door on his way
after a hoe with which he in
tended to kill the rattler. Be-
fore Mrs. George could reach
him, Thomas was back under
the house chopping away at
the snake.
Much persuasion induced
the boy to leave the snake-kill-
ing task to his uncle, Morris
George, who killed the rattler
with a pistol, and Thomas was
taken to a physician’s office for
treatment. His condition was
not serious.

Pencil Collector Say* State
Governors Have Fondness
For Yellow Pencil*
Fort Worth, Texas. (UP) —
State governors, E. H. Cash-
burn has discovered, have a
fondness for yellow pencils.
Cashburn is a pencil collec-
tor. He gathers pencils that
have been used by famous per-
sons. He has received 31 pen-
cils from state governors—
and all but two of them are
yellow. Governor Nice of
Maryland sent him a black
pencil. Governor Merriam of
California gave him a cedar
pencil of the dime-store varie-
ty. Miss Margaret LeHand,
President Roosevelt’s personal
secretary, also donated a yel-
low pencil.
The strangest story sur-
rounding Cashburn’s collec-
tion is that of W. Orville Beall,
who signed his death certifi-
cate. Beall was pronounced
dead in 1906. Arrangements
were made for his funeral. His
mother signed his death certi-
ficate with a pencil and eon-
traded for a tombstone. But
while the funeral was pending,
Beall rallied. Seeing the humor
of the situation, he picked up
the pencil and added his own
signature to the death certifi-
cate.
Cashburn says you can tell a
lot about a person by observing
the way he treats a pencil.
Women, he says, are more
nervous than men, and fre-
quently chew the erasers or
bite the pencils.
Cashburn, who has about
200 pencils in his collection, is
out to get a million. “Every
time I collect a pencil, I make
a friend,” he explained.
Texas Woman Help*
Run Down Criminals
Lelia Lake, Texas. (UP)—
From now en, Mrs. John How-
ard will be acting in an official
capacity when she starts out to
run down criminals. She is
now a deputy sheriff.
When Mrs. Howard and her
husband and their son, Lon,
moved here, robberies were
frequent. So the Howards de-
cided to do something about it.
They rigged up an alarm sys-
tem to spread the word when
there was a crime. They oiled
their guns and got ready to
fight.
Since then seventeen at-
tempts at burglary and rob-
bery have been made in Lelia
Lake. Fourteen criminals have
been captured with the help of
Mrs. Howard. Only three have-
committed crimes and got
away, and two of thore were
wounded in a gun battle with
Lon and his father.
In recognition of Mrs. How-
ard’s work, Sheriff Guy Pierce
made her a deputy. In present-
ing her a badge, he recalled
how she broke up an attempt-
ed robbery of the postoffice is
1930, then directed officers is
a running gun fight with two
would-be robbers. The robbers
were captured and convicted,
and Mrs. Howard was reward-
ed by the federal government.
Receipt* for El Paso
Custom* Office Increase
El Paso, Texas. (UP)—In
spite of economic conditions in
Mexico, receipts of the ET
Paso customs office were more
than twice as great during
July as they were the corre-
sponding month last year, Col-
lector Adrian Poo! reported.
During July of this year the
receipts totaled $69,736.

“Good-Bye” Days
Good Buy Days
Off to school... in a brand-new suit and shoes
. J. the pencil case he begged for held tightly
in one hand. Trying to hide the uncertainty
and fear of his first day at school.
That brand-new suit, those shoes—where
did you buy them? Where did you buy the
new school dresses for your suddenly long-
legged little girl? Where did you get the
trunk that will soon pack your eldest off to
college?
You’ve learned in your own school of ex-
perience to study the advertisements before
you buy. Yon planned your purchasing with
an eye to sturdy quality at reasonable prices.
Reading advertisements has helped you find
what you wanted —has helped you save your
time, your energy, your money.
