pointment Of Governor James v.
Alfred, the young governor Of the
Lone Star State, as a Federal
judge for the Southern District
Of Texas. The appointment was
particularly popular among Texas
politicos.
The Texas leaders also liked
the rather humorous exchange of
kilograms between Mr.. Roosevelt
and his second in command, Vice
President Garner, who decided to
continue fishing in his favorite
streams of southwest Texas rather
than to come to the Panhandle
under blazing heat to welcome Mr..
Roosevelt to a State where Demo
cratic Presidents seldom come.
Garner said "It is too far to
walk. and besides I am now work
ing for a living" Mr.. Roosevelt
replied in kind by saying: wet
a line for me" in connection with
the Vice Presidents fishing.
Most of Mr.. Roosevelt's timer
ary today, aside from the initial
speech in Pueblo this morning,
was to be devoted to sightseeing.
Eight stops were scheduled in the
State during the day, but only one
speech. From Pueblo, his route
ran through Hanging Bridge,
Salida, Malta, Minturn, Grand
Junction, with passage through
the ROYAL Gorge.

CAPRA PROBE
G-Men H unit Man
Who Entered Home

HOLLYWOOD, July IL G.N.SD.
To determine the motive of an
intruder who entered the home of
Frank Capra, noted film direc-
tor, and threatened Mrs. Capra,
Omen today conducted a quiet
investigation.
The Federal agents and police
were undecided whether the noe
turnal visitor was a burglar or
intended to kidnap one of the
Capra children.
Mrs. Capra said she heard
noise in a Second-floor bedroom
near the nursery where the three
Capra children slept. AS she
started to investigate, she was
met by the intruder who pointed
a gun at her and threatened to
shoot her if she screamed. Capra,
awakened by the disturbance. gave
chase to the man, who disappeared
through a rear door.

No Actual Loss

upon consideration of all the
evidence" the boards opinion
said, I'VE hold that neither Of
the pretended sales of stocks be-
tween dupont and Raskob was
a bona fide complete disposition
thereof, and did not possess that
reality indispensable to sales
contemplated by the statute as
to deduction of realized losses,
but that both were contrived and
consummated through mutual
understanding and agreement
between the two parties for the
re-acquisition Of the stocks orig
inally owned by each.
That formula of tax escape
cannot be approved. The deduc-
tions of losses from such pur-
ported sales are therefore dis
allowed.
Men do not conduct them
selves and accomplish the end
as did these parties toward each
other and attain an end so ad-
vantageous to their fortunes
without a common understand
ing. This design was too COM
plete to be without designer.
The record before us bares its

industry is booming again.
I'VE had $4,000 quarts OF
strawberries this year." the
Secretary said. He added proud
ly, as though he didn't handle
the country's billions, Our
gross was $500 from 3 8-1O
acres.
THE raspberries are dying
now, so I'm going to Secretary
Wallace again. The Valley is
the market basket of New York,
and we don't intend to see it

The Secretary has been farm
er since 1914. To the Homestead
Farms he brought his bride, Mrs.
Elinor Morgenthau; here his sons,
Henry Sd and Robert, and his
daughter, Joan, have been raised
with a love for the soil. Their

There are 100 head of Holsteins

one-haIf of the county taxes and
one-half of the insurance. Even so,
Secretary Morgenthau shakes his
head over the dairy business.
There is too much difference be-
tween the price to the farmer and
the price to the consumer, he be-
lieves.

Close Associates

upon ingenuity, rather than

Raskob and DUPONT have been
close associates in the financial
world since the turn of the
century. In 1923 dupont was
chairman of the board Of di-
rectors of General Motors Cor.
poration and RaSkob a director
In 1929 and 1880, both served as
directors of the Bankers Trust
Company of New York.
AS chairman of the Democratic

of New York. DUPONT figured
prominently in the fight on the
prohibition amendment, being
active in the Association Against

CAMP AIGN TEST.
$4,000 Turnout Is.
Expected Today

OKLAHOMA CITY, July IL
G.N.SO O-Providin the first mo
ior test for the New Deal since
the campaigning President Roose-
welt started his current transcoE-
tinental tour. voters marched u
the polls in Oklahoma today in a
bitter primary election that at
tracted nationwide interest.
A record turnout of more than
$4,000 was expected. T il e
weather was fair and warm.
Not only State but national
interest in the three-cornered
fight for the Democratic nomlEa.
tion for the United States Senate.
Seeking the nomination were
Senator Elmer Thomas, "old
friend" of the President; Gov. E.
w. MaIland also New Deal
supporter, and Representative
Conner Smith. former vice presi-
dent of the Townsend old-age pen
sion plan.
BOOSTED THOMAS
President Roosevelt stopped in
Oklahoma only last Saturday to
boost hopes of my very old
friend" Senator Thomas, for re-
nomination. The President said
Thomas had been of enormous
help to him at Washington in
advising the Administration of
Oklahoma's needs. The President
also had a few kind words for
Governor Marland but he did not
mention Representative Smith by
name at all.
The primary climaxed one of
the most bitter and colorful cam
paignS in the history of a State
noted for it's colorful politics. Rep
resentative Smith has been tour
ing Oklahoma with brass band.
Senator Thomas and Governor
Marland also conducted aggres-
sive campaigns, although not as
colorful in showmanship as Smiths
election fight.
MURRAY OPPOSED
Smith, incidentally. voted
against the Presidents reorgani-
Zation bill and the Administration
farm bill in Congress.
The President, in his speech here
Saturday,. also, by inference,
turned thumbs down on one Of the
five candidates seeking the nomi-
nation to the gubernatorial post
being vacated by Governor Mar
land. The candidate who drew
Roosevelt's fire was former Gov
William alfalfa Bill" Murray,
who has opposed many Roosevelt
plans. Murray, in his campaign,
got a bruised eye in a hotel cor
ridor fight during a political argu-
ment.
Opposing Murray were Leon c.
Phillips, w. S. Key, Ira Finley
and Jack Walton, all colorful fig
ures. Key was former State WPA
administrator and Walton was i'm
peached as governor in 1928.

I would have enjoyed seeing the

The Antler people have some

I hope you may have many
visitors in the Hardin schools next
week. What are you going to show

get your lessons or will you have

Let us hope it will be a nice
week with no storms or mud.
