STERLING DEFENDS ACTION
IN SENDING OFFICERS
The death of Mrs. I. P. Casbeer,
which occurred Thursday afternoon,
June 9, at 3:00 o’clock, was quite a
shock to the family as well as a large
circle of friends here. She had re-
cently undergone an operation at
a Temple hospital and returned home
Monday and was apparently getting
along very well and suffered a heart,
attack and was taken away suddenly.
Mrs. Casbeer, whose maiden name
was Miss Fronie Robertson, was born
October 29, 1871, at Austin and mov-
ed to Lampasas with her family when
a small girl. She was married here
on October 28, 1888 to Mr. I. P. Cas-
beer and the family had resided hero
since that time and made their home
in the place where she passed away.
Mrs. Casbeer had been a member of
Hie Methodist, church for many years
and lived a true chrisian life and was
a very devoted wife and mother. She
was always assisting her neighbors
and friends in times of trouble or
distress and her presence will not
only be missed by the immediate fam-
ily but by all who had learned to
know and love her during her resi-
dence in the neighborhood which she
lived.
The deceased is survived by her
husband and the following children:
John Casbeer of Abilene, Dei-wood
Casbeer, Mrs. W. O. Townsen, Mrs.
Ruble Shanks, Bryan Casbeer, Pres-
ton Casbeer, Branson Casbeer, Miss
Lois Casbeer and Miss Ruth Casbeer,
all of Lampasas. She also leaves a
sister, Mrs. W. M. Whitfield of San
Angelo, and a ^alf brother, J. P.
■Tones of Italy, Texas. The sister and
brother were here for the funeral
services.
Funeral sei-vices were conducted
Friday afternoon at the family home
by Rev. W. M. Lane, pastor of .the
Methodist church, and interment fol-
lowed in Oak Hill cemetery. The ac-
tive pall bearers were: G. Tom Big-
ham, C. E. Langford, Voeial Harris,
D. H. Harris, J. M. Long and Emmett
Shanks.

COOLIDGE SAYS CANCELLATION
OF WAR DEBTS NOT POSSIBLE
AUSTIN, June 9.—Governor Ster-
ling today defended his action in
^sending two rangers to Alvin several
days ago to make investigations in
connection with a South Texas “milk
price war.”
Presence of the rangers in Alvin
had been protested to the Governor
by J. P. E. Johnson, secretary of the
Alvin Chamber of Commerce.
“The peace and dignity of our fail-
community was insulted by the pres-
ence of two rangers armed as for a
resort to protect 10 cans of milk,”
Johnson wired the Governor. “There
has never been any violence here on
account of the milk war. The local
.authorities have never been called on
by either side. The people of this
community are struggling for their
very existence but have proceeded in
a quiet and orderly way. This in-
sult is felt keenly here and is con-
sidered a tyranical usurpation of au-
thority by the Governor.”
Governor Sterling replied to John-
son that he “never before heard of
the presence of Texas rangers insult-
ing or disturbing the peace and dig-
:nifcy of any community.”
“Texas rangers are undoubtedly the
most efficient and courteous peace
•officers in the State,” the Governor’s
“wire stated. “Their function is to
prevent lawlessness and they have a
right to go anywhere at any time in
this State whether there is danger of
lawlessness or not. The rangers were
dispatched to your community after
reports had come to Adjutant Gen-
eral Sterling that there might be
-serious trouble. It is the policy of
this administration not to wait until
after great harm has been done and
then send in assistance, but on the
other hand to have rangers ready to
prevent wherever possible such things
from happening. I am sure that no
community after giving careful con-
sideration to this question would ob-
ject to the presence of any member
of the state ranger force. They were
sent by General Sterling for the pur-
pose of protecting your people and
not to harm them or take any side
whatsoever.”
NEW YORK, June 9.—Calvin
Coolidge, discussing the international
war debts in the July issue of the
International Cosmopolitan magazine,
declares these obligations can not he
canceled.
The former President, after recit-
ing the circumstances connected with
the various debt settlements agreed
upon at the tirtie he was chief ex-
ecutive, writes:
“I know we were not trying to
overreach anybody nor trying to drive
a hard bargain; The money we fur-
nished we had to borrow. Some one
must pay it. It can not be canceled.
If we do not collect it from Europe,
we must collect it from our own tax-
payers.”
Pointing out that he has no know-l-
edge of what js in the mind of the
present |Govm-nnnJ(nt regarding the
debts, Mr. Ooolidge said that, at the
time the settlements were made, “we
were seeking to restore faith in in-
ternational financial integrity for the
good of the world.”
Cut Bill in Half.
While calling attention to the vari-
ous loans made Europe by the Uni-
ted States, he writes:
“But we get little help from speci-
fic figures or reasons for making the
loans. In the main we furnished
money to carry on the war. Others
borrowed it for that general purpose.
After the armistice we furnished more
money for food, supplies and recon-
struction.
“Years after we settled the bill of
$11,565,000,000 on a present worth
basis of 5 per cent interest for $5,-
888,000,000. We thought that was
within the capacity of the debtors to
pay. We knew they must get the
means to pay by producing goods and
selling services. That is the way we
got the means to make the loans. If
we could produce these results within
three years we thought Europe could
make the return to us in sixty-two
years.”
The effect of debt payments on
foreign trade, Mr. Coolidge holds, is
somewhat problematical.
How Soil Is Enriched
by Both Snow and Rain
That snow fertilizes the soil is an
old belief which has some scientific
basis. In 1729 William Byrd of West-
over wrote as follows of south Vir-
ginia : “The Soil wou’d also want the
advantages of Frost, and Snow, which
hv their Nitrons Particles contribute
not a little to its Fertility.” Both
snow and rain, according to the bu-
reau of chemistry and soils, bring
down fertile elements from the air,
especially nitrogen and sulphur, and
this fact accounts for the general
opinion among farmers that a winter
of heavy snowfall is usually followed
by a season of good crops. It is
doubtful, however, whether snow
brings down more fertilizer elements
than a corresponding quantity of rain.
But snow has several advantages over
rain. Frequently a heavy fall of snow
affords an ample and uniform mois-
ture supply without undue erosion of
the soil and at the same time protects
certain crops against frost. Some
farmers hold that a fall of snow
plowed under has a particularly de-
sirable effect upon the fertility of the
soil.—-Pathfinder Magazine.
FLEISHER GIVES
SELF UP TO COPS
DETROIT, June 10.—Harry Flei-
sher, dapper Detroit gangster, want-
ed for questioning in the Lindbergh
baby kidnaping case, walked into po-
lice headquarters Thursday and gave
himself up.
He refused to talk, hut his attor-
ney, Edward H. Kennedy Jr., declar-
ed ehiphatically that Fleisher had
“absolutely nothing to do with the
Lindbergh case.”
“Those people who identified Flei-
sher’s picture in the Lindbergh case
apparently identified doubles, if any-
one at all,” the attorney said. “Flei-
sher had absolutely nothing to do
with it. He realized that he was in
a tough situation, particularly after
he was so prominently mentioned in
the Lindbergh case, and he concealed
himself until he was in a position to
prove his innocence in all these mat-
ters.”
New Jersey officials were notified
of the gangster’s surrender, and from
Lieutenant Walter Coughlin of the
New Jersey state police came a re-
quest for. peianission to question Flei-
sher. Detroit officials said the per-
rtiission had been granted.
Fleisher was placed in a cell to
await arraignment Saturday on a
year-old. warrant charging him with
complicity in a gang killing here last
year.
Neither Fleisher nor his attorney
would reveal his whereabouts during
the months he was sought.

How Diamond* Are Shaped
None of the world’s big diamonds
are diamond shape. Few. if any, dia-
monds are. Diamond-shape refers to
the cuttings on the diamond. And
these cuttings are the results of math-
ematical studies intended to get the
greatest possible brilliance from the
stone.
If a ray of light enters a diamond,
it will go clear through, without re-
flection and dispersion, unless the
other side of the diamond has a par-
ticular angle.
If this angie is 24V, degrees, the
light still goes through.
If it is 25 degrees, the light is dis-
persed: and dispersed light splits into
the colors of the rainbow, returning
rainbow hues to the eye looking at it.
How to Build Fish Pond
In constructing a fish pond the fol-
lowing features should be provide^
for: Water-tightness, so that a small
inflow will be sufficient, making high
temperatures during the summer
months; a shallow area, from 18 to
30 inches deep, where the fish may
nest: a deeper area, of (5 feet or more,
for winter quarters, and a fertile bot-
tom for the growth of aquatic plants,
upon which fish, food depends.

How Rope May Be Marked
A new method of marking rope is
to treat selected interior strands with
a fluorescent material; so that if it
becomes necessary to trace the man-
ufacturer at any time the rope can
be examined under a beam of ultra-
violet light and the treated strands
will stand out. in contrast.
How Famous Clock Got Name
Big Ben, the chimes on the Vic-
toria tower of the house of parliament
in London, was named for Sir Ben
jarnin Hall, president of the public
works of London at the time the Vic-
toria tower was built. Sir Benjamin
was called Big Ben because of his
enormous height and girth.
How Glass Is Polished
The bureau of standards says the
effective constituent of the acid dip
used in polishing glass is hydrofluoric
acid. The strength of the acid re-
quired depends on the nature of
surface and the composition of
glass.

rent apportionment of $17.50. Not
only has $12.50 of this year’s appor-
tionment been paid, but $1.50 of last
year’s was met during this fiscal
period.
Mr. Shaver said the remaining $5.50
will be paid as fast as funds accumu-
late and that all unpaid on August
31, the end of the fiscal year, will be
paid in September and October, which
will delay next year’s payment to that
extent.

One hundred letters
addressed to you personally
Think of the advertisements in this paper as so many letters addres-
sed to you, personally. That’s what they’re intended to be, and,
actually, that’s what they are. This newspaper is, in effect, a mail-
bag which brings you news of events and news of the best merchan-
dise at the fairest prices.
You don’t throw away letters unread. You don’t read three or
four letters carefully and skim through the rest. Treat the “mer-
chandise letters” in this newspaper the same way. Read them all.
Read them carefully. One single item will often repay you for the
time it has taken to read them all.
Many good housekeepers have formed the habit of reading their
newspaper with a pencil and paper, ready to jot down the articles
they wish to look at when they start out on their shopping tour.
Try this method. It saves tirde, and saves money, and provides you
with the pick of the day’s merchandise.
EVERY ADVERTISEMENT HAS A MESSAGE ALL ITS OWN.
—IMPORTANT—
When you ask for a product by name, as a result of
advertising, do not accept a substitute—substitutes are
offered not as a service to you, but for other reasons.
