FEDERAL GRADING
FIGHT AT OXFORD
Four Warehouses Seek Re.
straining Order; Farm
ers Resist Move

Oxford, Oct 31-The fight between
four tobacco warehouse operators in
Oxford and tobacco growers over gov
eminent grading of all tobacco sold
at auction was brought into the open
this week with merchants siding with
+a.mers.
Register & Register, attorneys for
the four warehouses, failed in their
effort to obtain a restraining order
from Judge I. M. Meekins of the Unit
ed States District Court last Satur-
day when growers here got wind of
the contemplated action.
It appears that dissent exists among
LEGAL warehouse operators since the
complaint filed by Register and Roy
ster is signed by the Fleming Ware
hause, Mangum Warehouse, Farmers
Warehouse and Johnson Warehouse.
At a call meeting of merchants of
Oxford held Tuesday night in the
city hall, a resolution was adopted
unanimously ny the merchants, many
of whom made substantial contribu-
tons to the special tobacco market
advertising fund, saying we hereby
resolve that we will do anything in
our power to assist the Granville
county farmers in their efforts to con-
tinue free government grading in OK

White Motorists

Police broke up riotious group
of whites, who had gathered at
John r. and Edmond Place on the
night of Nov. %, following a
collision between car driven by
a colored man and one driven by
a group of white motorists.
The colored motorist was James

An Inspection Trip
Through A Laundry
By WiIfred Caldwell

As a part of our study of voca-
lions, the ga class of the Garfield
intermediate School recently took
trip through the Supreme Linen
Laundry Company on East Alex
andrine. We were introduced to
Fred A. Allen the proprietor, by
Miss Marian Buckrell. our teacher.
Mr.. Allen began to explain every
thing to us about the different
things to be done in a laundry.
First of all the soiled clothes are
weighed on a Ball type scale, and
are put in net held by six Jum-
DO pins. They stay in these nets UNI
til after they are washed. They
wash them in large tanks called
the Adams Washers. The tank goes
back and forth until the clothes
are clean. II the clothes look dingy
they are then run through the
bleachers.
Mr. Allen said the soap is built
or made up with what is known as
caustic, which alkalizes the cloth
es and keeps the soap from eating
the material.
We were then shown the boiler
room in which was stored 5000
gallon tank The water is heated in
a tank called an automatic turn
press.
We were shown the large
mangle; four women stand on each
side to operate it. Two were feed
ers and two were folders. Another
part of their equipmnt is the shirt
and dress press.
The company also rents out uni
forms of all types as we'll as chair
covers and towels. We saw the
storage place for these articles.
Two slogans on the walls drew our
attention. One read, Lets play at
your house tonight and not here.
The other one, mo smoking! If
this building should burn the en-
ployees would lose as well as the
boss"
Mr.. Allen and all employees were
most courteous to US which made
our trip very worthwhile and in
formational. Efficiency and CO.
operation is clearly shown through
out the plant.

SPORTS
PARADE
By Henry McLemore

NEW YORK, Oct. IA. U.P)-I had
just sat down today TO do my an
nual piece on the training of bird
dogs when in came a letter from
a gentleman of Tulsa, Okla, asking
the same question which has been
asked this department a dozen
times since the Yankees butchered
the Giants in the recent World
Series.
The question - and it must be
worrying the baseball customers Of
the nation pretty badly. for, as I
said, I have been queried on the
same topic quite bit lately-is:
Just what happens to the Is per
cent of the total gate of all World
Series games that is deducted under
the heading of "Commiss 'oner's
share?"
In the last World Series, which
went six games, the total gate re-
ceipts amounted to 81 204, ,399. The
commissioner share, which means
the share OF Judge Kenesaw Noun
tain Lands, was S180,659. which is
very, very serious money.
I think the gentleman from Tulsa
asks a fair question, but I, frankly,
didn't know the answer, so I call
ed up Mr.. William Brandt, svelte,
suave, and helpful publicity director
OF the National league. I figured

Villegas was out of his corner at
the bell prepared to K. o. the
clever San Bernardino fighter in
short order but Larry merely parried
the blows, rolled with couple of
Joe's favorite right hand punches
and shot in three smashing 1efts
that slowed the Ell Centre boxer.
The second and third rounds were
duplicates of the opening stanza.
Villegas simply could not land
solid blow on his elusive target.
Every time Joe cooked his right
hand Ledford set him back with

Vsllegas rallied briefly in the
fourth round and managed to land
one of his rights. The blow stag

keep away during the remainder of

blow earlier in the battle the out
come may have been different.
Villegas demonstrated he could

Ledford could throw and Larry is

for Taylor's 1885 team. He is fast

of the finest backs to don a JIG.
uniform in recent years.
With Cotton in the lineup the
Junior college eleven should make
an outstanding record against
Brawley high Friday night despite
the fact Gene Wagner and Grif-
fifth. varsity backs, will be on the
sidelines.
The junior college scoring COM
bination will be Gilliland at quarter,
Mclaughlin and Weiss at halfback
posts and Holbrook at full.
Dale Cooper and Jesse Campbell
will be ready for action in the line
and Taylor will have full strength
forward wall to start the game
against the Wildcats in Central Un-
ion stadium Friday night.
Blakely is slated to start at one
end position and Carr will indubit-
ably get the call at the other end
post. Moody and Kellstadt will start
at the guards. Campbell and Cooper
at tackles and HartZell at center.
The Arabs have been concentrat-
ing on pass offense in practice this
week and in last nights drill the
Arabs worked on on new pass de-
fense which they will try out
against the Wildcats highly touted
pass offensive.
Brawley high, boasting one of the
finest high school elevens in the
valley. will bring a hard fighting
club to Ell Centro which will make
the going plenty tough for the
Arabs.
Minter and Fowler, speedy backs,
