WHILE DEPUTY sheriff Burton
was leading Texas attorneys In a
merry chase Of hide and seek in an
a1tempt to avoid having papers SER
eed on his now famous prisoners.
robbers slipped into Stinnett and
robbed a bank.
Burton is a former Texas Ranger
and whether they picked the time
ne was out Of town, or the occasion
o. severe snow storm to escape &,
IS a question none can answer. But
It gives Burton a good opportunity
to open a window and throw out
his chest and say II was gone.
The chase he Is leading. which
seems enAed at Wichita Falls to
keep accused men In jail, must have
some underlying motive. The state
attorney generals department denies
any knowledge Of the inside" Of
The proceedings.
Habeas corpus proceedings are
lawful actions. Why should an off,
Ger Of the law want to dodge such
or have the authority TO do SO.
THE SCREAMING Brownsville

ception at the train when they ar

home by every lover OF the game.

Pacific at 7:30 o'clock. Let all who

SINCE COMING into the Valley
this writer has found q deep and
hidden secret. 1t Is one OF the OBJ
jects OF a newspaper to keep the
people posted on all that is going
on In q community. With this duty
before us, we feel that there Is one
thing here which should be brought
10 light.
This seeming mystery Is that there
are q lot O. people here from Arkan-
sas.
They have not come out in the
open yet, but there Is a tell on them
all, II you know how to spot it.
There is something about them that
is a dead give-away. But at that
they comprise some Of the finest
people on earth.
How does the engineer Of today's
spasm know all this? Because he
came, at one time to Texas, from
Arkansas himself.
WHILE PRESIDENT Hoover is
calling around his table the ablest
minds in the country in an attempt
to stabilize business, or what pro-
bably be termed to ward off any
panicky fear. following the record
breaking smash of the stock. others
are busy trying to place the blame
for the crash.
What does 1t matter so much who
Is to blame for il. unless something
unlawful or underhanded was prac-
ticed2
Buving stocks on margin or sell
ing stocks on margin with the ex-
pectation that rise or fall in price
will bring a large profit IN proper
ton 10 the risk taken Is nothing
but gambling. Dice shooters down
an alley wagering whether certain
numerals will be up when the roll
u ended are arrested and fined.
But buying stocks and paying for
them as an investment based on
their inherent values is not .gamb-
ling and Is what the market Is theo-
retically established for. 1t IS a
clearing house for business.
Gamblers lost in the market crash
because inflatation popped bubbles
wide open in a reflex and the ever
moving pendulem swung TO the other
extreme. Those who owned their
stocks are not losers, where their
purchases are based on substantial
values. The companies in which they
have holdings have just as many
tangible assestS after the crash as
before.
OF course where there was a lot
~ water a lot o. folks got drowned.
why should gamblers capers be al
lowed TO rock a nation? There IS
inst as much real money left in the
banks. Just as much actual cotton.
or corn, or wheat, or what have you,
as before. None should be afraid Of
the ultimate outcome, 1t seems.
The good OF the Hoover meetings

further fluctuations.
THE SUCCESS OF many cartoon
lists. especially creators OF comic
strips. is said to lie In their general
appeaI to all classes. In order to be
sure to try and appeal TO all classes
~ readers. Bud Fisher, the origina-
tor of Mutt and jeff. and the first
of the comic artists, said that he
attempted to please man, one day.
4 woman the next, and a child the
next. That was probably why his
cartoons has an appeal 70 a single
reader one day, and not the next.
The conductor Of this train Of
thought has decided today that he
must write something for the child
ren. So all that want to listen In
can hear another bedtime story:
See the man at the dance? He
has on a beautiful tuxedo suit. He
Il warm and seems worried. Why
= he warm ard why does he seem
urorried2 Because he has on a beau
