Dr. Moilden and Dr. Cohen of the
State Health Department were here
Tuesday on an inspection trip. The
purpose of this visit was to determine
the cause of the fever cases we have
had recently. They inspected the
water system and the only fault found
was the water was not taking up all
of the minerals placed in it. They
will make a report on this and ad-
vise a way of remedying that con-
dition.
The gentlemen also consulted the
local physicians and are of the opin-
ion that the fever here was of the
typhus nature rather than typhoid.
This conclusion is drawn, however,
without a close investigation of any
of the cases. They state that the
typhus fever is caused from rats.
It is planned by the health de-
partment to put on a campaign here
to exterminate the rats. They have
a man now in San Antonio and he
was asked to advise just when he
could be in Lampasas to conduct
such a campaign. The only cost of
such a campaign here will be the
cost of the poison used. The city
agrees to purchase the poison at the
time the department is ready to be-
gin such a campaign in our city.
The Browning Sunday school class
of the First Baptist Church will serve
a Waffle Supper from 6 to 8 for 25c
at the old Leroy Confectionery stand
Friday evening. The public is cor-
dially invited to attend. (d308)

A PARENT-TEACHER CREED
A parent-eacher association should
be concerned with all problems that
relate to the welfare of the child in
the home, school and community.
That. its great object should be to
interest all people in all children, and
to link in common purpose, the
home, the school and all other edu-
cative forces in the life of the child,
to work for his highest good. That
it should encourage all influences and
conditions which make for the growth
and safety of the child. That it
should give service to the home by
training for parenthood and home-
making, and to the school by adding
parent power to school power.
That the principles which guide the
parent-teacher association are the em-
bodiment of social service, civic vir-
tue and patriotism.—Reporter.

BILL TO GIVE WHEAT TO
NEEDY PUSHED IN HOUSE
WASHINGTON, March 1.—The
principle of feeding the hungry with
wheat from the farm board’s bulging
bins was embraced today by house
democratic leaders and they made
preparations to pass on a senate bill
devoting 40,000,000 bushels for this
purpose Thursday.
Under pressure from majority lead-
ers, the agriculture committee today
reversed its previous stand and ap-
proved the measure by a vote of 15
to 6. A fortnight ago it rejected
it, 14 to 9.
Tomorrow Chairman Jones will ask
the rules committee for right of way
in the house and—if democratic plans
are carried out—a vote will be taken
Thursday.
R. A. Lindberg and family have
purchased from Walter Smith a house
and lot near the edge of the city on
the Lampasas-Lometa highway. Mr.
Lindberg , has lived here for some
time and will now become a more
permanent fixture by owning his own
home in Lampasas.
SCHOOL NEEDS FUNDS
TO FEED CHILDREN
The Lampasas city schools is feed-
ing about forty children each day at
the school building and they have
only enough funds to carry on the
work for this week. The Leroy Theater
has notified them that they will give
a . benefit show next week to raise
money and any other donations will
be appreciated by those interested
in feeding these children. It is esti-
mated that it will cost about 10c a
day to feed a child. There are a
number of donations of food but they
need some money also to carry on the
woi’k. The Parent-Teachers’ Associa-
tion is sponsoring this work in the
school. If you care to help in the
work make your donation to Kyle
Oliver, the First National Bank or
Supt. Charles Wachendorfer.
The children they are feeding are
those who do not have enough to eat
at home and would have to come to
school hungry if they were not cared
for in this manner. The general pub-
lic is invited to inspect this kitchen
at the school any time and see just
how the children are cared for.

W. M. U. MEETING
Tuesday afternoon, March 1, six-
teen members of the W. M. U. met
at the church for a mission program
and business meeting. Mrs. W. R.
Williamson led the devotional, speak-
ing from Romans 4:1-7. She stirred
our hearts with her timely comments
on these words of the greatest of
the Apostles.
The subject of the program was
“Denominational Loyalty,” five dif-
ferent phases of which were ably dis-
cussed by as many women. Mrs. C.
E. Perry read a very interesting let-
ter from Rev. Pruett and wife, mis-
sionaries to China, written to friends
in Lampasas, detailing many facts
about conditions in that unhappy
country.
Mrs. B. C. Knight, stewardship
chairman, spoke on Stewardship. We
are prone to think only of money
when we hear the word, .but our chair-
man impressed upon our minds the
fact that it is all we have, all we are,
time, talent, personality and possess-
ions. Mrs. E. M. Pharr, benevolence
chairman, reported a nice box of gro-
ceries and a substantial cash dona-
tion sent to the aged minister and
wife who are aided by this W. M. U.
Mrs. Paul Nichols ■vyas chosen edu-
cation chairman to fill the unexpired
term of Mrs. Gamel, who resigned.
March 7-11 inclusive is the date
for the Southern W. M. U. Week of
Prayer. The local W. M. U. decided
that instead of spending one hour
each day for four consecutive days,
they would take their lunch and spend
the entire day at the church March 8,
rendering two programs in the fore-
noon and two in the afternoon.
The meeting was closed with pray-
er.—Publicity Chairman.
15 PER CENT COTTON
ACREAGE DECREASE IS
FAIRCHILD FORECAST
NEW YORK, March 1,—A decrease
of 14.7 per cent in 1932 cotton acre-
age in the United States as com-
pared with 1931 is indicated in a
survey of farmers’ intentions to plant
as of February 25 made by the Fair-
child bureau. Decrease in Texas is
estimated at 15 per cent, which is
comparable with a decrease of ap-
proximately 8 per cent last seaso'n
as compared with the previous year.
Decrease of 14.7 per cent in United
States acreage would indicate approx-
imately 35,395,000 acres to be planted
to cotton, if farmers carry out pres-
ent intentions to plant.
WHEAT PRICE INCREASED
ON HOGS’ BILL OF FARE
Mr. Landrum, pharmacist at Wilson
Drug Co., has moved to what is known
as the D. S. Moore place on the hill,
West Third street.
HEREFORD, Texas.—G. W. Brum-
ley of Hereford claims that wheat
will bring 50c a bushel if fed to hogs
that sell for not more than 5 cents
a pound.
Brumley grows wheat and raises
hogs and has been feeding hogs for
market many years. He produced
20,000 bushels of wheat and 15,000
bushels of barley this year, and is
feeding the grain to 1,400 head of
hogs.
With hogs selling locally for 7c a
pound, he says he is realizing around
70c a bushel for his wheat.

The safe in the general mercantile

possibly other merchandise was taken

money in the safe and a check-up was
not made until a finger print expert
could examine the safe. The Sher-
iff’s Department investigated the
robbery and went there again Wed-
nesday afternoon with the finger print
