Boy Slayi Parents
to Get Start in-Life
Waxahachie, Tex., Dee. 11.?A 19year-old
farm boy, Herman Riley, waa
held here today on a charge of murdering
his mother and father and attempting
to kill his brother in order
that he might harvest the produce of 1
their farm and "get a start in life."
District Attorney A. D. Kmerson said (
the boy had confessed that he shot
his parents and brother in hopes of '
"making the crops myself." Mr. and
Mrs. Kiley were shot to death Friday
and their younger son Walter wound,
ed at their home near here. Waiter
was shot in the nose and the older
boy's confession indicated the fact
that Herman believed him dead saved
the boy's life. Herman's statements
said he went home Friday
night with pl?ws for the uiarders well
fixed in his mind. He waited a while 1
because "My daddy still was awake."
After his father slept Herman lit a
match, so he coqld see the sleeping
man and shot him within a few feet.
His mother, the boy's confession said
ran out of the house, but returned
and was shot as>eWe entered the
room. A second bullet found in her
body, Herman said, was caused by a
shot accidentally discharged while ho
was preparing to go to his brother's
room. The confession was obtained
after bloody clothing belonging to
Herman was found in a seed bin.
CROP OF MILLIONAIRES
Four Women Among Those With
Annual "Income of Millions
it
It may or it may not have been
good policy for the government to issue
an income tax report coincident
with the Wall Strefet furore. It reported
293 individuals paying federal
taxes on incomes of $1,000,000 or
over in 1927. On this basis the
Bureau of International Revenue estimates
the total number of our millionaires
at 33,695 for it musfc.be tak.
en into consideration that many who
. did not take in a million shekels in
1927 were, nevertheless, millionaires
by reason of previously accumulated
money. ,
And it is interesting to note that
four women (np jpames..revealed) reported
incomes of from $3,000,000 to
$4,000,000. Which goes to support
* the claim that 41 per cent, of our
wealth is in the hands of women. It
is still a question whether the Ford
or the Rockefeller fortune is the
, greater. Ford has made more than
the Rockefellers within the recent
years, but old John D. was giving
out dimes long before Ford was heard
of.?The Pathfinder.
' Philadelphia police arrested James
Roach, 25, last weelc^- He confessed
that he and a pal nad engaged in
47 robberies and turned their loot
of jewelry and watches and other
stuff over to a jeweler. The jeweler's
store was raided and more than
$50,000 of stolen goods were recovered.

"Buy (he Way."
Jake Johnson who works a small
farm for me on "halves" ambled
1 H m*0f"" lh'' ?th? day a?d
Boss, dat stallment agent
as done come for may sewing maj
or he monney." I in?ked him
which inatellment agent; he replied
Why, a nice gentermen come to
our house last fall and tuck and sold
us a machine nearly all on creddick,
and we done gone fur as we can
wid it." !
i
I learned that the poor old nigger
had bought a 20-dollar sewing' machine
for only 80 dollars. By selling
his corn and chickens and 2 pigs,
he manage^ to pay 06 dollars on his
iobt. He paid 25 dollars down and
has been turning over 6. dollars a
month ever since. He and his wife
have not had 2 dollars worth of
cloth in their houses in 2 years. The
old lady couldn't sew on a machine
if she had the cloth to experiment
with, but a slick agent and a gullible
pair met and something happened.
Some folkfc will buy anything that
they can get on credit. The greatest
opiate that has ever been invented
is "only 2 dollars down and the
balance on the easy-payment plan."
There is no such thing as an easy
debt to pay. I was in the-house of one
of my tenants not long ago and I saw
10 bottles of dropsy medicine sitting
on the fire-board. I asked the wife
who had the dropsy and she said:
Nobody, but the agent was so goofl
to us, we just bought it. There ain't
no telling when sonic of us might be
to^k down with the dropsy, and then
the medicine would come in mighty
handy." They were paying only
cents a month on the 20-dollar obligation.
Old Uncle Aaron Bird bought 10 j
volumes of "Beyond The Grave ,
Comes Peace," Not a single member
of the family can read a word, but
Uncle Aaron explained that the
preacher came around occasionally
and read some to them. He said they
were migty fine books. I observed
that he had also bought a large wall
map for which he paid 4 dollars.
No one in the household knew the
difference between Texas and the
Pacific ocean, and they thought the
Panama canal was something to eat.
They all seem to enjoy getting up
the money for the collector, and they
said they always had it ready for
him. He was mighty kind: he had
never sent them no duns by mail,
so Uncle Aaron said.
Ellihu Smoke paid 2 hundred and
25 dollars for a set of lightning rods
for his house which is mortgaged
for twice as much as it is worth. He
got easy terms. Sam Weller had a
ranged in his kitchen that carried a
98-dollar balance on the mortage.
His little hut was rented and it took
real scrambling to meet the weekly
rental demand. Old Aunt Dinah
Green showed me the pretty bedroom
set, consisting of a bowl and
pitcher and 5 other pieces. It was
trimmed in purple with a gold
stripe. She never used it any herself;
and never let anybody else have
that privilege. She got it delivered
right in the company room for only
27 dollars and 45 cents. The poorer
the family is the higher prices they
are willing to pay for junk or nonessentials.
? . .
\
THEN
Back yonder in 19 and 20, the man
said: "Yes, I am looking for a nice
farm with a little house thereon
painted white with green blinds and
a well of good water on the back
porch, and it must have a pasture
and plenty wood. I am willing to
pay a fair price for something like
th?t. It is getting time for me to
buy myself a home."
NOW
Today the man said: "Sure, I am
in the market for a nice automobile.
I want sonx-thing to get about in,
and naturally prefer a long wheel
base and 4-wheel brakes, and my
favorite color is light blue trimmed
in grey, but of course the car I buy
must be equipped with everything
needful. I am willing to pay all the
money I have in the bank now, a.nd
will bind myself and my wife and
my younguns for the balance and
will pay it if we live. It is getting
about time for us to trade in our
old lizzie that we swapped our farm
for a year or so ago."

southern Helling soon offset the
weather that prevailed in Texas last
night and immediately thereafter,
some realizing took place that is?
the, bulls realized that they were
busted. The Federal Reserve and
other reserves have been used to
scotch the stock market, and Solo^
mon and all his glory are now trying
to figure out who lost the $47,000,000,000.00
that the suckers ?ot loose
from recently in order that tfce coffers
of the wealthy might' be s#oli
len to excess. Anyway ar)d anyhow,
we still think limberger cheese will
continue strong.
Chicken Dressing
The new evening dresses for the
fair sex are made in tbe following j
manner: First, Tie a string around |
hef w^ist. Second, Hang about 1
yard of something flimsy in front
thereof .ind let the same swing loose
to the knees. Third, Hang about 2
yards of something also flimsy at
the back and let it drag the ground.
Fourth, Spread something more
flimsy than ever slightly over the
chest. Fifth, Dust her back with
talcum powders, paint her cheeks,
marshmallow her nose, and there
she is: ready for anything or anybody.
If a good model of one of
these "evening gowns" is desired,
just grab the first scare-crow you
sec.
It Wont Ik; Long Now
Bishop Cannon must bo about
thru .bishop-ping by now. He did
not^have enough of his kind of religion
to appreciate the fact that
Al. Smith's religion was good enough
for him. I have never seen any of
our presidents use much of their
religion in the management of affairs
governmental. Some men can
have just any kind of faith and be
reasonable and sensible at the same
time. Bro. Cannon would do well
to stick to his knittin' from now on,
and it is possible that old Virginia
can make out her ballots without
his advice. We respectfully advise
him to read the 44th chapter of Melchisadck.
