Protecting CaDOne

Even the lawless seek refuge in the law. Witness
scarface Al Capone overload of Chicago racketeers,
credited with obtaining commitment to Pennsyl-
vania county prison to find safety from his enemies
and then being transferred to another Pennsylvania
institution to escape violence by fellow prisoners in
the first jail
Behind the travesty which shows the government
being employed through legal means to shield a
gangster stands the unacceptable fact that life without
law is unthinkabe. To it the Capones turn for
protection.

The Lone Hen

0VER in Jersey-I think it was
~ Jersey-a barnyard hen was
taken for a ride in an airplane. True
to it's industrious, unremitting ma
ture, the fowl laid an egg. To pos
terity she will be known as the first
hen ever to lay an egg 1000 above
sea level.
Somehow this performance fascin-
ates ME more than any recent &C
complishment of the credit of aero
nautics. It has the healthy appeal
of practical ability, naturalness and
conservatism.
There is no suspicion that the hen
was spurred by any giddy ambitions
or ephemeral delights. Beyond be-
ing herself and doing a good days
work she apparently had no other
interest in the adventure.
1t is told that upon alighting from
the snip she split the air with
strident cackle, which land OBJ
servers compared to the unusual
f1uttery manifestations of females
making their first fight. A rooster,
of course, would have crowed.

Lexington Overcomes
Durant Tigers Is to @
In Classic Mud Battle

The annual football classic that at
tracts attention of football fans of two
adjoining towns and spirited rivals,
Lexington and Durant, took place on the
athletic field at Lexington Friday after
noon, when the Purple Wave rolled at
high tide and engulfed the Tigers by
score of 25 to 0. 1t was battle
fought on a water-soaked field and mud
ankle deep, but the Lexington squad
proved equal to the occasion and con-
tinued their string of victories and
whose scoring ability was held to 4
touchdowns due to the slow field and
slippery terrain.
Durant came over heralded as
dangerous foe on an aerial attack and
their threat promised to make good at
the start until Coach Thompson's
mighty machine was thrown in high
gear, and these long passes went
aground through the quick interruptions
of the Lexington players. The Tigers
attack became dud and Lexington
proceeded to unleash a vicious drive for
touchdowns that could not be stopped.
Retaliating themselves on passes, Lex
ington uncorked a spiral that was long
pass from Pickens to Henley who caught
the ball on the tips of his fingers and
balanced long enough to slide over for
a touchdown. After this Pickens and
Capt. Watson became driving line and
off-tackle pair, and tore the Durant line
to shreds. Mud that impeded the speed
of these two Purple Wave warriors was
1 the only thing that aided Durant in
bringing them down. Their dashes were
handicapped by the slippery footing and
each fret down became 10 yards to
slide, which added all the more to the
brilliant work performed by the Lex
ington team under such circumstances

added touchdown was a feature of the
last score. Coach Thompson, whose
splendid coaching is beyond comparison.

Gas Connection Looms
For Lexington Report
Given Representative

Natural gas, commodity that has
manifold uses, may be available in Lex
ington some time in the near future,
according to one of the city's leading
business men, who has been in consulta
tion with officials relative to the mat
ter, and has brought back encouraging
reports from headquarters of the corpo-
ration.
According to the report made repre-
sentative of interests locally, a survey
has been made of the territory adjacent
to the large pipe line that is now being
constructed through Mississippi, and
this data has received their close at
tention relative to the future demands
and possibilities of the communities
that could be served from this line as
well as the growth of industries that
could utilize the natural gas a cheap
fuel for their needs in manufacturing
and kindred operations.
Several of the towns within this area
have been surveyed and final check as
well as a new survey will be made in
some instances to verify all data. Lex
/ ington is included in one of the surveys
and will probably be among other towns
to be surveyed again for additional data

before deciding to undertake any more
preliminary steps, it was stated by the
Lexington man. Applications for fran
chise locally would be among these pre-
liminary steps, it is announced.
According to further information
relative to this section as an industrial
medium for development, it is learned
that several natural products have been
under investigation and reports are
favorable. Lexington and surrounding
areas, offer many products that would
prove profitable to manufacturers uti-
lizing sands, clays, Ignite and other
natural minerals, as we'll as by-produts
that could be used in the abundant tim
Der the territory furnishes. These and
others are under consideration, it is re-
ported by those that claim to have au-
thoritative information.
Several overtures have been to the
gas company for service in other com
munities, it is learned, but the gas COM
pany supplies the commodity only or
wholesale quantities, and the retail enc
of the busines would have to come from
distributing agency equipped to serve
individuals and firms.
The general consensus of opinion is
that Lexington should share in the bene
fits of natural gas, especially when the
main line of the huge project is within
the boundaries of Holmes county, anc
available for use if the proper arrange
ments can be perfected
