TOWN TOPICS
Texa.s people, they Kay, never leave i
the house without an umbrella, a j
coat, and a palm leaf fan?their weather
being ho temperamental.
Like ours is now, when you begin
to Hneeze from looking for muskmelon
Beed in the back hall, or from taking
off the sweater you started out
in.
The best way is to keep one coal
grate going in the chilliest room, and
forget it unless you get your feet
wet pulling up weeds, or the baby's
woolens need drying out, or the dayold
chicks are cheeping for a hensubstitute.
The John M. Villepigue Company
sell any kind or quantity of coal you
like, and send it up promptly.

Did you ever hear of a dictionary
with pictures in it? Did you ever
hear of one without 'pictures' in it?
And there are some lovely ones with
pictures on the outside?and awfully
nice words, and the nicest kinds of
meanings on the inside, at the Cath
erine Harris Goodale Shop.
Pretty enough for a girl's deskami

cents up. Things you don't see every
day, but never get tired of owning.

A wise old man once advised a ;
young man who had just gotten mairied,
"Take my advice, never go into
debt, always wait until the hen lay8-"
And that's a good plan, provided
the hen is of the good old-fashioned
kind who still thinks that a- heri'a
place is in the nest.
But hens have the vote now, and
demand their rights. They have got
the ensemble fever and demand cackling
food for cackling, hatching foot!
for hatching, and laying food for laying.

' ' * * * . I
Summer abounds with pleasing
sounds, birds singing and bees humming.
But there is sweeter music
still, if you'll await its comingv For
bees may hum and birds may sing?
another sound surpasses all these? '
and it is not a thing but tinkling ice j
in glasses. It crackles and it tinkles ;
till it makes a music rare. It is a
siren voice that bids you wait to get
your share. For of all the needs up-1
on this earth, there's one that still 1
comes first. No matter how we
quench it, the name of it is thirst. ,

Which would you rather have take
the roof from over your head, a tor-,
nado or a mortgage? (Answer on t <
p-ge 999) m
As a matter of fact, nobody cares i
much about a roof now, because Na- '
ture has just about called everybody
out doors, she is still doing her stunts
and the curtain hasn't gone down yet. 1
People who can afford it are buy-,
ing iron furniture with canvas cover- <
ing and little cross-legged chairs and t
sunshades, because nothing else goes (
so well with beach pajamas worn at
a distance of forty miles from a
beach. Others are standing over fa- *
ther with cool drinks while he saws I
away at smelly new lumber, and digs
holes here, there and everywhere until l
he gets them at just the right place J
?and by day after tomorrow, the
neighbors are relieved to see it really
does turn out to be a creditable seat,
under the old oak tree. ,
If everybody had a tool chest, and each
year gave it a present, it would *
soon fill up with one reliable, tool for j
each use. <
Saws that have good sharp teeth, ]
hammers that hit the nail, on the-,
head, a hatchet for kindling, screwdrivers
with smooth handles, a few 1
extra hinges, plenty of nails, tacks,.:
etc., all arraTTged and locked up so (
they don't disappear one by one-? such (
a box can be a nice looking affair and
a joy forever.
Once an old lady was given a box
of tacks and a little hammer for ;
Christmas?and she had the time of
her life tacking up things that had
been needing tacking up for years and
years?and she just hadn't thought
about it till she found what fun it
was hammering and nailing. **
* * .
It is inspiring to find an old person
who is friendly and hospitable, but
not absolutely dependent on anybody ,
else for anything. Such a lady lives
not so far away. "Yes, I live all by j'
myself." "No?I'm not the least bit i
nervous?I never think about being
alone. I work at my house and my
flowers and my garden. I've got ,
be-nns and peas and other things all
planted?and at night I'm tired and
I go to bed."
rrvir.g that vcu
have to be a right nice sort of person
to he willing to live with yourself
| all the time.

Kansas JMoh HangsU
(Confessed Kidnaper
i Saint Francis, Kansas, April 1?~Mob
vengeance today claimed the life
of Richard Re$d, 63, confessed attacker
and slayer of eight-year-old
Dorothy Hunter.
Read, who was protected twice on
Saturday from rapidly forming mobs
by a quick thinking plains sheriff,
was located in the Cheyenne county
jail where he had been hidden away.
A mob estimated at 200 heavily
armed men, motored swiftly into St.
Francis late last night, seized Sheriff
A. A. Bacon and Deputy J. H. Indoors,
obtained the keys to the jail,
and departed with their prisoner.
Leaving St. Francis the automobile
caravan headed eastward toward Seldom
76 miles away, home of the
school girl victim and her attacker.
About midway between the two
small towns and near Atwood, the
motorists halted. A rope was suspended
from a tree, and Head was
swung to his doom.
Only a few miles away, in Atwood
was Gov. Harry H. Woodring, of
Kansas, who arrived today on a political
campaign tour. Police offices
of Rawlins county, of which Atwood
is the'county seat, failed to intercept
the mob when the caravan left the
main highway.
An unidentified member of the mob
telephoned Charles E. Henneberger,
coroner of Rawlins county, who left
for the scene to take charge of the
body. ,
The lynching took place on the ko
Lymann ranch. More than a score
of years ago, before the miracle of
wheat turned western Kansas into an
alternatively greening and browning
landscape, Chauncey Depew was
hanged on a neighboring tract. e
died for the slaying of a family in a
cattleman's feud.
The seizure of Read, a bachelor
farmer, and former Colorado convict,
was not entirely unexpected but
startled the little county seat town
with its suddenness.
Read whs hurried to St. Francis
yesterday ahead of fifty automobile
loads of angry men, immediately after
he had led Sheriff Ed McGinley
jf Thomas county to a hay stack in
which he had hidden the girl's body.
Dorothy had been missing since
rhursday_evening when she retura>d
to the Selden school house for a
'orgotten dinner bucket.
Read, a neighbor, was arrested because
of bis previous convition of
isa'aulting a 15-year-old girl in Col)rado.
Officers said he confessed he
md lured Dorothy to his car with a
itring of beads, then attacked and
>ent her to death.
Large Deficit For
Southern Railway
/ /
Nfcw York, April 16.?A decline in
rcneral business and the competition
)f automobile trucks, waterways and
pipelines are blamed for a deficit of
[l.1>,$22,8-12 suffered by the Southern
Railway company last year.
This is set forth in the pamphlet
-eport of the company for 1931, is,tre'd
today, showing the deficit is
comparable with a net income in 1930
>f $9,126,512. The report also points
out that last year was the first in
the history of the rpad in which it
had failed to earn its fixed charges.
Although making no forecast for
future business, President Fairfax
Harrison, in his statement to stockholders,
said that while agriculture
had suffered from low prices, the
picture "in 1931 was not entirely
black."

America's exports of tobacco to
Australia will be materially reduced
if plans in a state of formation mature.
Australian manufacturers arc
making agreements with growers
of the weed on the islttmd continent
to take 7,200,000 pound* of tobacco
at 60 cents a pound. This amount
represents practically the whole of
this year's Australian crop.

Two-Horse Farm'
Barn Plans
~ . i
Clemson College, April 16.?The average
small-farm barn needs much to
make it adequate, convenient, substantial
and presentable in appearance,
says J. T. McAlister, extension
agricultural engineer, who with C. W.
Stroman, his assistant, has prepared
Agricultural Engineering Circular 16,
"A General-Purpose Barn for the
This < <<mimeor
graphed circular, now ready for distribution
by Mr. McAlister's office,
contains plans and specifications for
barns to meet t/he needs of the onehorse
and two-horse farms of small
owners, renters and share-croppers at
inexpensive cost.
Plans shown in this circular do not
call for an elaborate or expensive
structure. In fact, the general plan
is similar to barns commonly found
on small farms, but much more conveniently
arranged and presenting a
better appearance. Many barns have
a large hallway or passage through ;
the center. This adds to convenient
in feeding and harnessing but requifes
valuable..space that may be utilized
to a bette? advantage when so few
animals are housed. In these plant
hay can be fed from the loft directly
into racks in stalls, and a similar arrangement
could be made to feed
corn from the centrally located crib
into feed troughs.
The proper location of the barn
for proper drainage, sanitation and
convenience, is discussed, ?
size, materials of construction and
general suggestions.
Alvin Eller, 23, has made a con- \
fession to the police of Los Angeles,
Gal., in which he says he murdered .
Gus Bobous, merchant of Valdese, j
N? C., on February 18, when the latter ?
resisted Eller and others who attempted
to rob the merchant. EUer
gave the names of two others wKh
him when the killing occurred and
said that the killing'W&s done by one
