LIGHT RAINFALL HERE
ON THURSDAY NIGHT
The rainfall of Thursday and Thurs-
day night, April 23, amounted to .30
of an inch according to the gauge at
Stokes Bros. bank. This rain will be
welcomed by most of the farmers as
the top of the ground was getting
dry and a rain following the cold
frosty weather will be very beneficial
to crops.

City Marshal Craft reports that
there are some boys 10, 11 and 12
years of age in Lampasas that are
badly in need of clothing. Any per-
son who has clothing that they will
donate are asked to turn it over to
Mr. Craft or leave at the Leader of-
fice andi we will see that he gets it.
The boys need anything they can get
as they are practically without cloth-
ing. If you have any second hand
clothing, let it be known.

tion to the people of Lampasas for

BOND PAYMENT BILL
REPORTED ADVERSELY
AUSTIN, April 23.—The senate
committee on state affairs reported
adversely tonight the Brooks bill which
proposed to repay the bonded indebted-
ness of counties contributing funds to
| state highway projects. The vote was
9 to 4. Proponents gave notice of a
minority report.
The bill proposed to set aside a
portion of the state gasoline tax funds
to be used in retiring the bonded in-
debtedness of counties. It was passed
by the house two weeks ago.
At that time it was one of two bills
which threatened to interfere with the
progress of the $212,000,000 state wide
highway bond issue. Proponents said
if it passed both houses before action
could be taken on the bond resolution
would encounter rougher going.
Under the Brooks plan one of the
four cents gas tax levy would be set
aside to be used in the retirement pro-
gram. The bill was characterized as
an effort to head off the state wide
highway bondl issue.
Mrs. Adaline Denson, a former res-
ident of this place was buried here
Friday afternoon in Oak Hill cemetery.
She passed away Thursday morning,
April 23, at 6:15 o’clock at her home
in San Antonio after an illness of
about two months. Mrs. Denson was
born October 20, 1841 in Mississippi
and came to Lampasas county in the
late fifties or early sixties and lived
here until 1911 when she moved to
Montana where she resided until about
a year and a half ago when she went
to San Antonio to live. She made
her home with her daughter, Mrs. D.
H. Watson.
Her husband preceded her in death
several years ago and was buried at
the Sparks crossing cemetery, east of
Lampasas. She is survived by the fol-
lowing childi*en: J. L. Denson of
Poteet, Mayett, Isaack and Arthur
Denson of Montana, Sam Denson of
California, Mitchell Denson of Iowa,
Mrs. W. S. Peacock of Lampasas,
Mrs. ID. H. Watson and Miss Myrtle
Denson of San Antonio. The body
was accompanied to Lampasas by Rev.
and Mrs. D. H. Watson, J. L. Denson,
Miss Myrtle Denson and D. H. Wat-
son Jr. Rev. D. H. Watson Jr., a
grandson, was here from Harper to at-
tend the funeral.
The remains arrived here over the
Southern Pacific and were taken to
the Briggs-Gamel funeral parlor and
services were conducted at 2:45 o’clock
in Oak Hill cemetery by Rev. W. H.
McGee. Pall bearers were Rucker
Northingtorr, J. R. Brandon, Clyde
Northington, J. B. Briggs, Dan W.
Taylor Jr., and Albert Brown.
Mrs. Denson was a good Christian
woman and had many friends among
the Lampasas people who extend sym-
pathy to the bereaved ones in their
sorrow.

MISSISSIPPI SENATE
TO DEFY GOVERNOR
FORT WORTH CLEANER
WEARS DEPUTY BADGE
AFTER DEATH THREAT
JACKSON, Miss., April 24.—W. B.
Roberts, chairman of the state senate
finances committee, Thursday volun-
teered toi take the leadership in get-
ting members of the senate together
here next week for an “unofficial”
session of the legislature to deal with
strained state finances.
He contemplated opening the session
Tuesday morning. The movement is
in defiance of Goveraor Theodore G.
Bilbo, who has refused to call the leg-
islators together officially unless a ma-
jority pledge themselves against start-
ing proceedings aimed at impeach-
ing him.
Roberts acted Thursday after Lieu-
tenant Governor Bidwell Adam also
refused to issue the call.
CARD OF THANKS
We wish to express our thanks to
the friends who so generously offered
their loving kindness and help upon
the death of our husband and father,
J. D. Myers.

NEWSPAPERS HOLD RADIO
PROGRAMS ADVERTISING
Miss Dorothy Cox is home from Ft.
Worth where she has completed a
course in a commercial college of that
city.
NEW YORK, April 23.—The Amer-
ican Newspaper Publishers’ associa-
tion today adopted a resolution classi-
fying radio programs as advertising
matter that should be paid for.
This stand was taken in one of three
resolutions designed to curtail the
competition of radio.
The others endorsed proposed fed-
eral legislation imposing on radio sta-
tions the same restriction about lot-
tery advertising that now apply to
newspapers, and authorized an investi-
gation into the legality of broadcast-
ing direct advertising.
• Officials of the association said two
or three publishers reported having
dropped programs' from their papers
without receiving any objections from
readers.
Rev. A. F. Avant, Rev. W. H. Mc-
Gee, E. M. Pharr and W. E. Moore
went to Austin Friday afternoon to
attend a meeting being conducted in
that city by Dr. Truett.

R. Wright as a deputy Thursday be-
fore he started his usual round of

racketeering methods into »the price-
cutting tactics pursued by cleaning
stablishment proprietors here for sev-
eral months.
