jobs, and we were out there
where there was only a town
about every twenty or fifty
miles, and nothing between but
wilderness. That night we start
ed our nights slepe in a church
house, until we froze out, and
we were farther south than Cal
ifornia. They say it's warm in
California, but it's cold as whiz
in Texas. The wind whistles
over the plains all the time, and
there is no hills or trees to get
behind either. Nothing but
scrub bushes about three feet
high is to be seen. We saw a
fellow later that was one of the
fifty that came in with no place
to sleep. He said they tried to
get the police to lock them up,
so they could sleep, but they
didn't have room SO they took
them to big tourist camp for
the night. While all this was
going on we had a fire in the
church house, and when it went
out we walked two or three
miles out on the prairies and
built a fire and spent a pretty
comfortable night, while the
coyote howled around us. The
next day we walked and rode
to Abalene. Texas, a distance of
abut 200 miles, and ! used the
fifty cent worth of stamps |
had left to pay for az bed for us.
The next morning we got back
to Wichita Falls and spent the
night with the Salvation army.
| forgot to tell you about how
we ate. The second day we had
a couple of buns, the third, an
orange, and a dime pie. The
fourth, a pound box of raisins
and an apple that | found, the
fifth, an apple apiece, and the
sixth nothing until after we
got back except some kind of a
Inn a fellow gave us that we
were riding with, and don't you
think we never asked anyone
either. It seems awful funny
but | felt better all during that
trip than | ever had. You see
I had chance to get cleaned
out good. 1t was just what |
wanted and | wouldn't have
missed it for anything.

The first day was easy and
we went 200 miles to Wichita
Falls, Texas. 1t is town about
as big as Oklahoma City. That
was where the man paid for our
bed and invited us home to
supper. That was the last meal
we had until we got back last
night. The next day we went
about $50 or 800 miles to SIAM
ford, Texas, and started to
sleep in box car, but Noel
froze out and we started walk

slept in a fodder shock until
the rain ran us out. We walked
about a mile and some dogs
ran us into a barn where we
spent the rest of the night. The
next day, we went to Odessa,

We found about so men broke

THOUSANDS CANNOT
TAKE ASPIRIN

The discovery a few years ago of
a pain relief which exhaustive tests
by thousands of physicians, dentists
and nurses proved it to be truly
wonderful, was indeed a great bles
sing to sufferers of headaches, neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, neuritis, period
pains. During the great flu epidem-
ic it was conclusively found thous-
ands could not take aspirin, acetan-
lid or compounds containing these.
The remarkable new discovery
called A-Vol does not contain aspir-
in, acetanilid or any heart depres-
SAINTS. 1t is absolutely harmless to
young or old. 1t stops pain in five
minutes and instead of leaving you
feeling loggy, it actually peps you
up.
If you have severe headache,
pains of any kind, you owe it to
yourself to try this remarkable new
scientific discovery. A tube of ~
tablets at your druggists costs but
a few cents. Just ask for A-Vol--
you will be delighted.

DIPLOMATIC RUM
FURRY IS ENDED
Rover Drops Case Against
Two Truck Employees Ar
rested With Liquor Cargo.

The diplomatic liquor furry was
ended yesterday. when United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover dropped case
in Police Court involving two men ar
rested on a truck seized March Is.
while carrying liquor consigned to the
Siamese legation.
After reviewing decision reached
Friday by the State and Treasury De-
partments, protecting diplo o I'll
liquor supplies in transit, provided an
accredited envoy accompanies them,
Mr.. Rover concluded that it was use
less to attempt to press the case. He
instructed his assistant. Renah F.
Camalier. not to issue papers charging
Gilbert L. Wilt and Roy Miller, en-
ployes of the Davidson Transfer &
Storage Co., with violation of the law
for transporting the Siamese legations
liquor consignment from Baltimore.
The truck, containing so cases of
choice liquors, was held up by Wash
ington police week ago. Later the
truck was returned to the company.
The two men meanwhile were re-
leased on bond.

suance Of the provisions of the civil
service laws.
Commission Explains.
The Civil Service Commission in a
letter tells why 1t has not published
lists of eligibles. The letter is ad-
dressed to the Vice President. The
commission says that for more than IS
years it has not given general publicity
to the registers of eligibles established
for individual positions.
One reason cited is that publication
of eligibles would involve much clerical
work as more than 100000 apply an
nually for Government positions. There
are over 1,750 different kinds of posi-
lions, it is stated, for which the COM
mission holds examinations, and II the
names were published. larger clerical
force would be needed.
Not In Public Interest.
It also says there is a special reason
as to positions in the Bureau of Prohi-
bition. that it seems to be obviously
nos in the public interest 10 publish
the names of successful competitors in
examinations for prohibition or other
law enforcement positions
The Civil Service Commission says
it has expended $265.0O0 in connection
with examinations for places under the
Prohibition Bureau. The commission
since 1927 had considered applications
of over $4,000 persons for prohibition
places.
THE cases of approximately 14,300
applicants" the commission says, ARE
in various stages of completion: and
about $500 eligibles have been secured
and in large part certified for consid-
Grafton for appointment from the re-.
naming 1000 applicants.

at such prodigality.
/. Well. there are not many penny
wise people today. Time was

The humble penny deserves to
be treated with respect. 1t takes

with quarters and half dollars, but
it merits a decent regard, not con-
