PRICELESS GIFTS FROM
ADMIRERS GIVEN TO MUJ
SEUM BY COL. L1NDY
ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 15.—Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh has renounced
his claim to an almost priceless col-
lection of trophies and deeded the
large selection of gifts from admirers
to the Missouri historical society.
Mrs. Nettie Beauregard, curator of
the society, confirmed Wednesday that
the flyer and' his wife deeded away
the collection two years ago, but that
no announcement had been made at
the request of Colonel Lindbergh.
Millions of persons have visited the
exhibit of trophies, opened here June
25, 1927, following Lindbergh’s solo
flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Of-
ficials o*f the society repeatedly have
declined to place a value on the med-
als. aviation equipment, jewelry,
sculpture and a great variety of prop-
erty.
Colonel Lindbergh, in a deed ex-
ecuted in New York April 14, 1933,
reserves the right to withdraw the
exhibit if it is -not maintained for the
public with a degree *?f dignity and
prominence equal to the setting now
surrounding it. The collection is
housed in one entire wing of a large
building in Forest Park.
Additions to the exhibit were made
frequently by Colonel and Mrs. Lind-
bergh. Each tour of any consequence
made by the flying couple has been
followed by shipment of gifts receiv-
ed by the Lindberghs to the museum.
Lindbergh was a little known air
mail pilot in St. Louis when he made
his famous Atlantic flight in a plane
bought with the aid of St. Louisans.

AUSTIN, May 15.—The Texas su-
preme court today gave the state title
to the minerals of 3,901,000 acres of
school land, much of it in productive
oil territory, increasing by potential
millions the wealth of the public free
school fund.
The court ruled the state retain-
ed title in all minerals in schqol land
forfeited and repurchased under an
act of 1925 and was entitled to one-
half bonus, rentals and royalty from
oil development.
Although jmuch of the land in-
volved is in oil producing areas, a
| major portion is undeveloped and is
| regarded as non-oil bearing,
j Under the decision the state will
! collect between $500,000 and $1,000,-
| 000 now due, will retain another $1,-
000,000 paid into the treasury under
i protest during pendqncy of the suit
and will receive one/half of the bon-
i us, rentals and royalty from future
I development.
Ralph W. Yai-brough, former as-
; sistant attorney general who handled
! the case, said he was unable to es-
i timate the ultimate revenue that
: would accrue o. the school fund, but
j believed it would approximate $20,-
| 000,000. The school fund now holds
securities with a par value of about
$46,000,000. Income is used for cur-
rent operation of the school system.
The ruling was in a suit brought
by the Magnolia Petroleum company
to compel J. H. Walker, land com-
missioner, to reinstate a lease can-
celled for failure to pay the state
one-half the bonus and rental from
an oil lease on a section of land in
Reeves county.
STORY-TELLING CLUB
TO ORGANIZE
LAMPASAS LIONS TO
SPONSOR BOY SCOUT
DRIVE TUESDAY
The national junior Shakespeare
club through the assistance of local
teachers and club women will shortly
form chapters here.
Mrs. Worth Harman has been se-
lected as supervisor by the club’s
state representative, Mrs. Beulah Jer-
rens, because of her special qualifi-
cations of experience in story-telling.
The club is educational in purpose
and is designed to give grade and :
junior high school children a com- ;
bination course in expression, dra- *
matics and story-telling based on the
works of the famous board, in simpli-
fied form and in such a way that it
will appear like play to them. At
the same time it prepares them for
their high school English studies.
Until the number of members en-
rolled is ascertained, the plan is to
have one elub. If, however, there is
sufficient number, the children will
be divided by ages or grades. An
appropriate Shakespearean name will
be given each chapter or club.
Prizes will be offered at various
stages and diplomas in elementary
dramatic arts will be awarded each
child who has finished the prescribed
course. '!
The grand finale will be a Shakes-
peare play in simplified form or
pageant having the children portray
the Shakespearean characters.

HOUSE DEFIES SENATE
MOVE ON NRA BILL
MAY 17-18
DANCE
Music Both Nights by
Steve Gardner
And His 9-Piece Orchestra
75c COUPLE
WASHINGTON, May 15.—House
democratic spokesmen today hurled a
polite but positive defy at the sen-
ate, warning that the NRA either
would be extended two years or al-
lowed to die June 16.
Representative Taylor of Colorado,
acting democratic floor leader, was
asked what he thought about the
senate’s resolution adopted yesterday,
extending the NRA only 10 months.
He said:
“In my opinion the house will over-
whelmingly insist on a two-year ex-
tension. We’re not delivering an ul-
timatum to the senate, or anything
of the sort, but I bfelieve the house
would take nothing before it would
take the senate’s 10-months bill.”
At the same time, a new group
known as the “industry and business
committee for NRA extension” open-
ed headquarters in the capital and
Ward Cheney, chairman, called a
meeting Wednesday of industrialists
who support the two-year extension.
FAMOUS DIAMOND
BRINGS $700,000
NEW YORK, May 15.—Purchase of
the 726 carat Jonkher diamond, which
brought sudden wealth to an impover-
ished South African prospector when
it was found in January, 1934, was
announced today by Harry Winston,
Fifth avenue gem dealer.
Winston, who said he paid “in ex-
cess of $700,000” for the gem, as-
serted it was the largest uncut dia-
mond in the world. It is approxi-
mately the' size of a hen’s egg and
if cut into one single stone, as Win-
ston said he hoped it would be, it
, would weigh an estimated 425 carats.
OPENING OF HANCOCK
PARK TO BE FRIDAY, SAT-
URDAY AND SUNDAY
L. A. Parton, manager of Hancock
park, stated Thursday afternoon that
everything would be in readiness for
the spring opening and bathing girl
revue to be held Friday, Saturday

nesday afternoon caused some incon-
venience but the swimming pool has
been cleaned and the program will
go on as scheduled,, rain or shine. |
The bathing girl revue will be held
on Friday and Saturday evefiing at
8:30 and finals will be Sunday after-

Sunday afternoon Lampasas and
Temple will play.
There will also be a goat roping

day afternoon.
Sylvester Lewis, Lampasas district
finance chairman of the Comanche
Trail Council announces that plans
are almost complete for the campaign
to secure funds for the Boy Scout
work in Lampasas and its trade ter-
ritory. The Lampasas Lions Club is’
going to sponsor this drive and they
urge all that have been requested to
assist in this.worthy cause to respond
to the best of their ability. Scout-
ing for Lampasas is going along in
fine shape at the present time and
has prospects of having a successful
year ahead provided funds can be
raised to help support the work. Lam-
pasas is a member of the Comanche
Trail Council which composes Lam-
pasas, San Saba. Mills, Brown, Co-
manche, Erath, Eastland and Steph-
ens counties. There are now 41
troops, 1 neighborhood patrol, 850

council. Since the merger of the
two councils, the troops have grown
from 24 in number to 41. The mer-
ger taking place February, 1932.
World Brotherhood.
“54 flags float over 2.500,000 Scouts
today who belong to this great world
brotherhood for boys!”
The league of nations says: “Scout-
ing is the greatest single factor in
the world today in the final achieve-
ment of world peace.”
President Speaks."
“I want to project a plea in be-
half of the Boy Scouts of America
during this difficult period. This
agency reflects an important phase
of our’ recent progress. It is an in-
tergral part of the life of the boy;
it expresses the hope of the future.
Never before in our history was a
social service agency so urgently
needed as now and my plea is that
this great service to Americ^ be pro-
tected from interruption arid espe-
cially from curtailment.”—Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
John Rowntree, Pres. Lions Club.
LAMPASAS COUNTY '
FARMERS REPRESENTED G
IN WASHINGTON
Lampasas county had two repre-:
sentatives, Walter Walker, chairman]
of the cotton committee, and Dave
H. Carter, on the “Farmers Special”
to Washington. It is planned to have ,
a write-up of their trip in next week’s
issue of this paper.
There are 800 cotton contracts in
this county and 382 corn-hog con-
tracts. The rental payments from
these contracts will total $100,000,-
000. This money is paid to the farm- ■
ers with the proceeds of processing1
taxes collected by the government.
There has been a big fight against ’|
the processing taxes by the mills and
it was the purpose of the farmers to
encourage the government to con-
tinue the tax as long as reduction
programs were needed.
It seems to be the attitude of the
textile industries that it is perfectly
all right for the federal government]
to protect them from high tariff that
keeps out competition of foreign tex-
tile mills and permits them to get 50c
more for a shirt than Avould be the-’],
case if no tariff existed. However/!
when the government asks them to(
pass on the consumer the cost of a
processing tax, ‘which amounts tp
about 5c, they and their republican
congressmen feel terribly abused, but
thanks to the wisdom of our presi-
dent, their selfish interests are not
allowed to wreck the agricultural ad-
justment programs.-—W. P. Graham,
Co. Agt., Lampasas County.
