Luis Garcia and Francisco Espalin,

Thursday afternoon by judge W d.
Howe in the sfth district court, fol-
lowing a habeas corpus hearing. The
men were indicted by the grand jury
several days ago on q charge OF muir
OF Grady Weeks. son Of j. F. Weeks,
a week ago. Garcias bond was set
at S5uu0 and that of Espaliu at $500
The defence attempted - show that
Weeks and William Capless 1r-s were
stealing Watermelons when the for
mer was shot -Caples, however, tes-
titled that he had proposed getting a
melon but that Weeks refused and
told him not 70 do IT,
Judge Howe said at the hearing
that stealing Waterlnelons is not a
theft under the Texas laws. and
stated that he viii investigate the
statutes carefully In this matter.
"A statute passed by the Iegisla-
ture ia 1874 makes the stealing Of
watermelOus or any fruit or vegeta-
Dles from a farm garden or vine

and therefore would not make il
theft a mnor prepared at this time

homicide was justifiable." This state
ment was made TO J. IL 1IcBroom, at

The states attorneys argued that
Espalln was as responsible as Car
cias in that he gave The. orders which
resulted in the shooting Of Weeks.

mouy 10 show that Espalin, in plac-
ing Garcia 10 guard the watermelon

Patrick Gleason Paid the Bet.

Patrick Gleason, the well known
shoe manufacturer, of Brockton, is
very particular as to the work that
leaves his factory. One day he
hired a laster who was very poor
workman. The first shoe was so
badly lasted he did not dare put it
on his rack for inspection, but hid
it under his bench, intending to
make better job of it during the
noon hour. The second shoe was
not much better, but he thought it
would pass, and started on the
third.
Mr.. Gleason, coming along just
chm, picked up the shoe that lay on
the rack and examined it. Then
turning to the laster, he said an
grily: "I'll bet you $40 you can't
show me shoe in this factory as
badly lasted as this"
"I'l take you on that bet" said
the laster, and, reaching down, he
took the first shoe from under his
bench and handed it to Mr.. Gleason.
Mr.. Gleason paid but the laster lost
his job.

Good Time
toBuyFlour

From the best information we
can get, we have every reason to
believe that the wheat market has
hit bottom, and that there will be
advances rather than declines from
this time on.
Flour follows wheat, and if the
wheat market continues firm, you
may expect an advance in flour at
any time.
You will also be doing your coun-
try good by buying your. winter
supply Of flour now, as every bar
rel of flour sold at this time will
help to stimulate the wheat market
and enable our farmers to sell their
wheat at better prices, thus put
ting into circulation a vast amount
of money that is now inactive.
Our price on either hard or soft
wheat flour is $3.50 per sack;
5000 per barrel, less 20 cents per
barrel in three barrel lots.

Buy Seed
Spuds Now

We still have on hand few
Earliest of ALI and Melted Gem
seed potatoes, and nearly car of
Early White Ohios.
1t seems to be impossible this
year to secure seed potatoes that
are entirely free from disease, and
while our seed is slightly affected
it is the best procurable. Owing to
the scarcity of good seed this year.
there is not a question of doubt
that any seed coming into Kenne-
, wick will be more or less diseased.
and much higher than what we are
able to sell our present stock.
We quote you the following pric-
es, subject to stock being unsold at
the time we receive your order:
Earliest of All, per ton ....$65.00
Early White Ohio, per ton $4,000
Melted Gems, per ton $500
Our stock of Early White Ohios
are practically free. from disease,
and are an exceptionally good buy
at the above price. The Early
Ohios yield heavier than the Earl
lest of All, sell as readily on the
market and are nearly as early as
any potato grown. Many growers
who have planted them prefer them
to all others.

J. r. Pickel
On Cereals

Below is an extract from an ar
ticle by j. r. Pickel in Rosenbaum's
Review published in Chicago, De-
cember 4th issue. Mr.. Pickel has
usually been very successful in pre-
dieting the trend of future prices.
eff the present low prices for ce-
reals which We are now witnessing
continue to prevail at length, then
so far as l am concerned / might
just as we'll grab my old hat off
the peg and HE back to the farm
and stay there. Facts and fig
ures are of no avail. There is no
need to study. Just flip coin,
heads you win and tails you lose.
"It is the contention of this writ
er that sooner or later we shall
witness a reaction of prices to lev
els which are just as correspond
ingly high as the present prices
are low. If this forecast does not
materialize then facts and figures
have lost their potency and BUSH
ness becomes the widest sort of
a gamble.
"In short l am going on record
here in the most emphatic manner
possible by telling. you that the re-
action will be most satisfactory to
those who do not believe that pres
ent low price levels for cereals are
warranted. Those who are now
comparing present prices with
those which prevailed in 1924
and who assure you that even now.
cereal prices are high, do not pos
sess the first ounce of economic
sense. We may miss our guess
temporarily, but we haven't lost
our sanity. Prices will come back"

..... 49,. Rus s ell

When Chris Kepel went out to
feed his hogs one morning he cut
open sack expecting to find corn,
but to his surprise and disgust he
found that Russell had sold him a
sack of peas instead. Chris return
ed the peas pronto and exchanged
them for sack of corn.
For some unknown reason Rus
sell was determined to sell that
sack Of peas, for the very next man
that came after corn caught him
in the act of wheeling that very
same sack of peas out to his wagon
and he would have got by with it
if there hadn't been hole in the
corner of the bag that disclosed
the identity of the peas.
We advise our customers to
watch this one of our statesmen
closely, until after that sack of
peas has been disposed of.

Folks in Ruts,

Tn world is full o. ruts, my boy,
some SMALLER an some deep;
An ev'ry rut is full O. folks, as
high as they can heap.
Each one that's grovlin' in ths ditch
is growlin' at his fate,
An wishin' he had got his chance
before it was too late.
They lay it all on someone else OF
say twas just their luck
They never once consider that twas
caused by lack o. pluck.
But here's tn word of one that's
lived clean through, from soup ia
nuts:
Tn Lord don't send no derricks
round t. hist folks out o. ruts.
Some folks has stayed in ruts un-
til they didn't like tn place,
Then scrambled bravely to tn road
an entered in tn race.
Sich ones has always found q hand
held out for them t grab.
An cling to till they'd lost the
move peculiar to the crab.
But only them that helps them
selves an tries for better things
Will ever see tn helpin' hand t
which each climber clings.
This here's the hard, plain, solemn
Jacks, with no ifs or butts;
TIL Lord don't send no derricks
round T. hist folks out o. ruts.

Gum.

The president of the American
Chicle Company says that the peo-
pie Of the United States are spend
ing 500, 1000, 900 a year for chew
ing gum. The demand has tripled
since 1917, and the delighted chew
ing gum manufacturers thank pro-
hibition.
Last year Americans bought q
000,O00,000 packages Of gum. This
is 100 sticks to every man, woman
and child in the country. II it were
spread flat it would pave a road ten
feet wide, running from New York
to Seattle.
While 1000, 600, 900 packages is a
big figure, it will seem small to
those in the habit Of picking up
wads of gum on their heels, or who
have observed the thick, sticky up
holstery that has accumulated on
the bottom of seats in movie thea
tres, says Red Crown Bulletin.

That Bulgin has US thinking is
