KELLOGG FORESEES BUILDING
BOOM IN UNITED STATES
CHICAGO, June 10—Frank B.
Kellogg, secretary of state in the
Coolidge cabinet, foresees a business
boom for Amercia as a result of set-
tlement of the German reparations
problem.
“The entlie world, and this coun-
try in particular will profit thro the
signing of that pact,” said the former

Another result of the settlement,
he said, will be a better feeling to-
ward America and Americans in
many foriegn countries.

GRAIN CROP SHOWS
BIG INCREASE
WASHINGTON, June 8,—Farm
leaders in congrem received with con-
siderable interest today forecast of
the department of agriculture that \
the winter wheat crop on the basis
of June 1 indications showed a pro-
Lable production of 622.148,000
bushels more than 43,000,00© bushels
increase over last year.
In view of the general consensus
that the farmers difficulties can not I
be surmounted without an orderly
disposition of the surplus, the news
that a further expansion of the al-
ready substantial excess of wheat
appears to be in store was regarded
by many members of congress as
serving to focus attention upon the
course of the federal farm board
would pursue in the event one is
authorized in the farm relief legis-
lation now approaching enactment.
The leaders also contended that
the crop report would direct added
attention to the progress of the
farm bill in the senate, where only
a favorable report on the conference
relief bill |s needed to send that
measure to President Hoover.
The 622,148,000 bushels forecast
by the department of agriculture re-
presented an increase of 4 per cent
over (the indicated condition as of
May 1, and compared with the 5 per
cent average of 540,000,000 bushels
and the 1928 crop of 579,000,000
bushels.
The oats condition was 82.0 as
compared to 78.3 per cent a year
ago and 85.2 per cent for the ten
year average.

WILL NAME MISS U. S. AT
GALVESTON THIS EVENING
GALVESTON, June 10.—Thirty
four hearts beat quicker today as
the hour approached for the naming
of Miss United States. That title
will be bestowed tonight upon one
of the North American entries of
Pulchritude here.
Not an event was scheduled on the
official program today and the girls
spent moat of the day resting for the
contest tonight. Yesterday, when
the girls were paraded along Gaivea-
trVs seawall in bathing suits, was
the big day for tJte thousands of spec-
tators but that appearance was just
a necessary preliminary to the 44
domestic and foreign beauties who
are entered in the colorful pageant.
The foreign girls had nothing to
do today or tonight but see which
American beauty would match looks
with them in fthe competition to-
morrow night for Miss Universe, the
choicest plnm to be obtained in the
festival.
Willett L. Roe, manager of the
huge spectacle, praised the gameness
of the beauties in going thru with
the bathing suit revue yesterday de-
spite the extreme heat, gome ten
fainted after the parade as a result
of the sun’s most severe rays of the
year.
An estimated crowd of 5 0,000
witnessed the parade which requir-
ed more than an hour for staging.
The route of the parade was between
two and three miles long.

more nearly permanent prosperity in
agriculture by reason of water ab-

HOUSES
As a small boy, one of the most
amazing passages 1 found in the New
Testament, and one that taxed my
credulity most, was the one contain-
ing assurance of "houses not made
with hands.’’ Had I not believed in
God’s word, I would have branded
it a glaring falsehood.
Young Qianhood came, and with
it—broader perceptive powers.
Rambling through a wooded pasture,
1 saw a snail creeping by the side of
a fallen tree-trunk; he was occupy-
ing his i.ouse, which hands had not
part in 'building. It was a real home,
too; one that filled every require-
ment of its owner.
You and I live in houses not made
with hands—these wonderful bodies
of ours. They have been called tem-
ples, where the spirit of God dwells.
Whether they are so, I must let the
builder of the universe judge. I
know that such a
■ very much behind for lack of atten-
rained so much that,
farmers have found It almost iinpoa-
sible to do any work at all.
Some oats have been cut and shock-
ed while there are some fields that
are ready to cut this week and many
farmers are now harvesting same-
Oats turned out a fair crop this year
despite so much rain and the late-
ness in which they were planted. All
crops have been about three weeks
late this season on account of too
much rain. Several fanners with
whom the News man has talked aay
prospects are fine for a good corn
and cotton crop if insects will stay
off. This depends on the amount oC
rain that falls in July and August-
Corn will not suffer on account of
rain but cotton will not do so well.
A few showers is all cotton will need
In fact this plant needs plenty of
hot sultry weather so it can grow and
fruit. With two more weeks of
pretty wether farmers in the Indonia
section can get their cotton cleaned ’
out and then it will grow and fruit
fast.
It has been three years since a
good cotton crop was realized in this
section and everyone is anxious that
a bumper yield be made this fall
and a good price realized. It will
take this to put this section back
on its feet again.
ONION CROP ESTIMATED'
AT 400 CARLOADS
FARMERSVILLE, June 8.—The-
onion deal in the Farmersville sec-
tion opened up this week with the
shipment sevirfcj cars of the fam-
ous “East Collin Sweets” to northern
and eastern markets. The wet
weather has hindered harvesting thw
crop during the past week, but the-
farmers are getting busy today in
earnest, and by Tuesday of next
week, the movement will be general
of the weather continues fair.
ELECTED
FARMERSVILLE, June 8.—Bob
Rike and Johnnie Hickman were
painfully injured in an automobile
accident at Copeville, six miles be-
low Farmersville on the Dallas pike.
The car, occupied by Rike and Hick-
man was side-swiped by another car
entering the highway from a side
road. Rike’s car was knocked from
the highway and turned over three
times, the occupant^ being badly
bruised and skinned over the body
and limbs, but neither of the men
were seriously injured.
A man and several chilrden were
in the other car, which went into
the ditch without turning over or
causing injury to any of the occup-
ants.
The only doctor in Scrapeville de-
cided that he would like to be mayor,
so he came out in the Scrapeville
Times with the following notice:
“Fellow Citizens: I am running for
mayor, J have no particular platform,
no reforms to make, nothing to say
against my opponents; I merely de-
sire to be mayor of this town before
I die. I know every man, woman and
child in this town, i have been pre-
sent at every birth, marriage or death
in Scrapeville for the past forty years
If I am not elected I am going to
leave the town. But before I go I
will tell all I know about each one
of you.”
For the firsttime in the history of
the town every one of legal age turn-
ed out. When the ballots were count-
ed the old doctor had received all
but one vote, and that was cast by
a man who had just moved into town.

GIRL WORTH MARRYING
Once I was a young but now I’m old
but I have never seen at girl that
was unfaithful to her mother that
ever came to be worth a one-eyed
button to her husband. It is the
law of God; it isn’t exactly written
in the Bible; but it is written large
and awful in the many miserable
lives of many misfit homes. I am
speaking for the boys now: If one of
you chaps come across a girl with a
face full of roses, who says to you
as Bhe comes to the door, “I can’t
go for thirty minutes yet, for the
dsihes are not washed;” you wait for
that girl. You sit right down and
wait for her, because if you don’t
some other fellow may come along
and carry her off, and right there
you lose an angel. Wait for that
girl and stick to her like a burr to
a wooley dog.—Ex.
