And tho he haSn lived Tor years

'A-ah. prohibition has played hell
with the cotton market in Waxa-
hachie"
That is the astounding statement
made yesterday in a boasting manner
by cotton buyer of Waxahachie to
a well known and highly reputable
citizen of Ellis county. The man
in whose presence the above utter
ance was made lives only a few
miles from WaXahachie and is man
whose word is regarded as author
ity. He is a close observer of men
and things. and has visited nearly
every town in Ellis county this fall.
He had heard that other towns paid
more for cotton than WaXahachie,
but he had given these statements
little credence. He was not prepared
in his mind to believe that the couu-
tvs capital city, thriving city in
which he takes much pride, would
discredit herself by permitting the
smaller towns of the county to pay
a higher price for cotton He came
here yesterday to do a little investi-
eating on his own account and it
was during the prosecution of a few
! inquiries that the remark quoted
above was made to him. He asked
buyer how much was being paid
for seed cotton. The reply was that
Ia arigA 60 RnnIraI
pounds The man who was search
ing for information explained that
other towns were paying more than
this, and he was eager to know why
/ WaxahaChie buyers did not compete
with them The reason given MIN
was that prohibition has played hell
/ with the cotton market in WaXaha-
chic, and We don't propose to pay
as much as they do at other places.

DECISION NOT A NEW ONE
So Say New York Attorneys Who
Have Discussed 1t
special to The Herald

NEW YORK. April 17.-While the
decision of the United States supreme
court in the Haddock divorce case was
generally discussed today in the county
court house. lawyers who have made
divorce a special study expressed the
opinion there was nothing either radical
new or unexpected in it and that 1t
merely reiterated the decision of the
same court.
At the same time there was much dis
cussion of that phase of the decision
that evidently brands as illegitimate
thousands of children born to pre-
viously divorced parents.
1t Is pointed out that there are two
methods of offsetting these evil results.
First-New suits for divorce might be
brought by consent of both parties to
the former marriage in court of conf
petent jurisdiction, the children of the
latter marriage becoming legitimate.
Second-Parties to the second mar
riage could appeal to the Legislature of
the state in which the child was born
to have the offspring legitimatized by
special enactment.

HIS BOMB WORTH OVER $1,000
PatroIman Carries JeweIry He Finds

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, April 17.--South Brook
lyn was amused last night by the spec
tacle of a big patrolman carefully
drawing boys sled behind him at the
end of a flfty-foot clothesline. On the
sled reposed a small cigar box. Behind
1T walked a trembling Swede from Ho-
boken, and behind him a few hundred
small boys.
The cigar box was found in the snow
at Forty-eighth street and Third ave-
nue. by Harry Svenson of Hohoken.
Something mysterious about the box
made him think that it was a bomb.
He called Patrolman Connolly, who
thought the same thing. Connolly then
Communicated sled from a passing
small boy, procured long clothesline
and hauled the sled and it's load to the
Fourth avenue station.
Capt. Murphy and Sergt. Feely also
thought there was something ominous
about the box. 1t had a sliding cover.
The box was lashed to a heavy plank
out in the yard behind the house and
a long cord was attached to the lid.
The line led from the box through the
back door. and through the house to
the sidewalk. The reserves were called
out and the doorman stood with one
| finger on the fire alarm call as Capt.
Murphy took deep breath and pulled
slowly on the long cord.
The cover came off-and nothing hap
pened. Summoning all their nerve, the
police force peered into the box. In
stead of dynamite they saw glitter
ing array" of watches, diamonds, rings
and small trinkets. No one knows how
they came there or who lost them. The
contents of the box are valued by the
police at about $1,000 or $780, Capt.
Murphy told Svenson that if the prop
erty was not claimed in year it
would be his. Svenson said he was
willing to wait

SOUTH DAKOTA NOT AFFECTED
Divorce Industry, 1t Is Said, VIII
Continue There as Before
Special to The Herald.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April fiat
torneys who are interested in the di-
vorce industry and who when the de-
cision of the United States supreme
court in the Haddock case was first an
nounced, declined to express opinions
upon it, now declare that the decision
will have little if any effect on the
divorce industry of South Dakota.
1t is generally believed the decision
will have no influence on the present
members of the divorce colony and
that none will abandon their intention
to secure DEGREES.
Judge K. A. Jones of the state circuit
court in this city evidently does not
take so hopeful view of the decision
as the local attorneys, but declined to
express an opinion on what effect the
decision was likely to have on South
Dakota divorces.

CHILD TRAINING
THEIR THEME
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS
TALK AND PLAN
Southern California Convention VIII
Be Followed by Festival and
Later by the Big
Parade

The sixteenth annual convention of
schools is in session at the First Meth
odist church. Nearly all cities and
towns in this part of the state have
delegates in attendance.
The chair was occupied by w. c..
Weld, president of the state associa-
tion. Rev. A. c. Smither, pastor of
the First Christian church, took in the
opening service. Valuable hints con-
corning the attractive arrangement of
the Sunday school lesson were given
Ill. Rev. Z. w. Thornton of Long
Beach spoke on "The Why of Sunday
School Extension" He said in part:
ut is more stategical to build
formatories than reformatories. The
university of childhood is more in need
of endowment than any other institu-
tion of which l know, and L wish a
dozen or more millionaires would come
forward with the necessary money. No
energy in the Christian life is too beau
tiful, fine or valuable to be expended in
the Sunday school"
Best Minds Interested
Attention was drawn to the fact that
in years gone by persons Of prominence
have deemed it beneath their dignity
to attend or teach class in the Sun
day school. Today, however, the juven-
lie department draws from the best in
tellectuality for its teachers. Men and
women of wide experience and wisdom
are awakening to the need of proper
teaching and training in the Sunday
school. The child hears readily the
story of the gospel, and not only this
but he is able to influence his elders.
who through their love of him are
often first turned toward the church
and its religious teachings.
Sunday School Extension was the
theme of the address given by Rev. A.
M. Prewitt of Santa Barbara. He set
forth several methods by which the
work of the Sunday school may be ex-
tended. The first mentioned was con-
ventlons, such as the one at present in
session, where each delegate may carry
home a new inspirations to impart to his
own vicinity.
Another was designated by the
speaker as "The Tourist Method" This
was by sending workers to tour remote
fields where the gospel is seldom heard.
House to house visitation was also re-
commended.
Two-Minute Reports
A song service at this point was a
pleasing Innovation. after which H. M.
Patterson spoke on Sunday School
Opportunity" Two-minute reports
were given from the various county
associations represented, Hugh C. Glib
son being in charge.
The last speaker of the morning was
Rev. G. N. Campbell Unto the Pres
ence of God" was the subject on which
he talked for a little while.
The evening session was opened by
the convention chorus, led by Messrs.
Tullar and Meredith.
The convention will continue through
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The
spring festival will begin with a con-
cert Thursday evening at the tent in
Fiesta park and a chorus of 1000 voices
will be heard. Friday will be the
Juvenile concert, when 1000 children will
sing. A parade and exercises at the
park will be the program for Saturday
afternoon.
