part of December.
Yarberry, the defendant, and attor-

all were in the court house at the time
the change of venue was granted.
Many spectators also wer.e present, as

Yarberry was arrested imemddately

Ask the successful man. what brought his success and
no doubt he wM-1 attribute it largely to his OWN effort^,
and be right about it, too.
But we will venture the guess that if you question him
closely you will find that many times he has sought his
BANKER’S advice—and ACTED ON IT. This same service
is for you if you desire it. You consult a Doctor about your
health, a Lawyer about legal matters. Why not a Banker
in financial dealings? We will be only too glad to help you.
PSALM OF COTTON”
First State Bank
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
LESSON-SERMON SUNDAY
Cotton, thou are my shepherd, and
I am in want,
Thou hast caused me to feed in a
dry pasture
Thou hast destroyed my, credit,
Thou hast led me into the paths of
poverty,
Law suits, liens and near nakedness
Thou hast destroyed my soul and my
happiness.
Thou hast caused me to bow to a
banker with my hat under my
arm
And mortgage the muscle and pro-
duce of my farm,
Thou hast caused me to live in a
rented house in full view of the
moon,
While the stars come trinkling through
the cracks.
Thou hast annointed my head with
ignorance,
Superstition, poverty and unpaid
accounts,
How can I trust thee?
Thou hast kept my children out off
school, church and society,
Therefore robbing them of that which
is good and noble,
Elevating and refining.
Thou hast caused me to go to the barr
and bring out the old fertilizer
sack and ask my wife to make
me a shirt, with these inscriptions
in full view,
“Eighteen per cent acid phosphate”
on the breast and
“12-4-4” on the tail.

CITY NATIONAL BANK OF
CORPUS GHRISTI SUSPENDS
1 A called meeting of thev Parent-
Teacher Association was held Wednes-
day afternoon for the purpose of elect-
ing delegates to the State Convention
'of Mothers and Parent-Teacher Asso-
ciations to be held in San Antonio
November 10—18. This is the first
time in ten years that the convention
has been held as near as San Antonio
and giving the southern part Of Texas
an opportunity to send delegates with-
out involving more expense than most
associations could afford. J. M. Felder,
Sr., has kindly offered the use of his
car, making it possible for five dele-
gates to go as cheaply as one. Each
^association is entitled to one delegate
for every 10 members and as Aransas
Pass’ membership is 110 this year,
really entitles it to eleven representa-
tives. Delegates elected are Mrs. J. M.
Felder, Sr., Mrs. F. L. Glendening, Mrs.
W, A. Kieberger, Mrs. O. F. Gaddis,
and Mrs. R. L. Mercer, with Mrs.
"Walter Bfauer as alternate.
{failed to open for business this, Wed-
nesday morning and a notice was
.posted stating that the bank hud been
placed in charge of Jacob Embry,
national bank examiner, and under the
idirection of the comptroller of the
currency.
W. R- Norton, president of the bank,
said that assets of the bank at this
time are more than .its liabilities" and
declared that it is-not likely depositors
will suffer material loss other than a
tie-up of funds.
Plans are already being formed for
the reorganization, Norton said, and
they will be. pushed as rapidly as pos-
sible.
“Wie have every hope that we will
he able to complete reorganization
plans and have the barfc open again
within the very near future ” Norton
said. “The bank is just:as solvent as
it was September 29 when the official
call was macle and a splendid state-
ment shown.”
The statement on that date showed
deposits aggregating $2,526,415.69.
The bank was capitalized for $200,000
and had a surplus of $75,000.
. Heavy withdrawals, mounting to ap-
proximately one and a half millions
of dollars during the last 30 days' were
the primary cause of the bank’s clbse-
ing, together with recent losses taken
Jn the sharp decline, in values of bonds
held by the bank and slow collections
on outstanding loans.
In view of the prospect of the bank's
reopening soon, there was no apparent
feeling of uneasiness as t>o the result
Of the bank’s failing to open today.

CENTRAL POWER & LIGHT CO.
BRIGHTENS CITY LIGHTS
Stalin has decided to pay men ac-
cording to their worth. Think how
many of us will be sunk if that idea
reaches America.
The Central Power & Light Company
has just recently installed 250 watt
lights on all street lights along the
White W|ay on Commercial, replacing
the smaller bulbs of 100 watts with
the larger ones. All other lights on
street corners throughout the city
have been brightened with 100 watt
globes instead of the smaller 50 watt
globes. This was a much needed im-
provement and will be welcomed by
all who are about much at night.
You see America must send money
to German hanks because the Germans
are sending theirs abroad where it
will be safe. .
There’s one consolation. Other
things may come down lower still, bat
evening gowns can’t.
Smoking: Six years of learning
the habit; 10 years of enjoyment: 20
years of wishing you could quit the
darned things.
There are two classes: the illiterate
who know nothing, and the literate
who know a lot of things that aren’t
true.-.
THE CAUSE OF DEPRESSION
“To his home paper, a man in West
Tennessee writes:
Holler Rock Junction, Term.
“Dear Mr. Editor:
“There seems to be so much talk
about our so-called Republican pros-
perity. I believe ’tis my duty to
vTrite my views on the same and help

sible so’s we can make up our minds
we had auto change our ways of liv-
ing and so forth.
“I have taken my own case for in-
stance. I see my mistakes,, and many
others have acted likewise. I bought
a Fbrd instead of/a farm and it is
worn out, but the farm I figured on is
still O. K. I invested in a radio in-
stead of a cowr, and the radio gives
static instead of milk.
“I am feeding five nice hounds which

my credit in 1929 and traded up my

for flour and meat instead of gas and

ONE’S ENOUGH
“Bobby,” inquired bis pa, “did you
■wash your face before the music teach-
er came?”
“Yep.”
“And your hands?”
•Yep.”
“And your ea*s?”
‘‘Well,” said Bobby, “I washed the
«rc that would be'next to her.”
But why are they called “peanut
politicians?” Suffiicent roasting will
improve a peanut.
Perhaps clothes don’t make the man,
but you’ll notice that nobody seems
awed by a fat millionaire in a bathing
suit.

Though Ice Improves wonderfully the flavor of many
foods, its most important function is to PROTECT YOUR HEALTH,
and for that purpose, you need plenty of Ice the year ’round.
By maintaining a constant, even temperature, it properly
preserves milk, meats, vegetables, dairy products and cooked
foods and checks the growth of harmful bacteria, insuring you
of utmost purity in everything you eat.
Give your Ice Service Man instructions to keep your
refrigerator full of Central Power And Light Company’s

plenty on hand for all occasions, and will find that your
refrigerator actually uses less ice!
