Red Cross Nurse
Report On Ennis
School Children
A recent survey of Ennis schools
to learn the number of pupils pro-
tected from three of the most se-
rious diseases revealed the follow-
ing:
At Central Grade School:
Fifty per cent have been immun-
ized against diptheria.
Twelve per cent have bent im-
munized against typhoid fever.
Thirty-five per cent have been
vaccinated for smallpox.
At Alamo School:
Forty-nine per cent have been
immunized against diphtheria.
Four per cent have been immun-
ized against typhoid fever.
Twenty-seven per cent have been
vaccinated against smallpox.
The form letters sent out show
that 81 per cent of the families
whose children attend Alamo
school have their own family phy-
sician, at Central Grade school this
is 85 per cent.
With the coming Centennial cele-
bration a great many tourists will
be traveling through the city and
many will visit here. This always
increases disease possibilities.
Many people postpone protection
until the disease breaks out, for-
getting that “prevention is better
than cure.” The goal set several
years ago was for 90 per cent
protection in Ennis.
The survey was taken of chil-
dren ten years old and under be-
cause they are very susceptible.
There is no law compelling par-
ents to safeguard their children’s
health butit is hoped that all of
them will have the best care med-
ical attention and science has to
offer.

Tomato Crop Badly Damaged.
Clarksville, Texas, April 8.—Dam-

has accrued to the tomato crop
in the Avery section as a result of
cold weather. Some farmers had
transplanted part of their crop to

enough to damage plants in both

This makes two Ennis revivals

'o’clock Thursday night to be held
in the City Hall Auditorium, ac-
cording to A. Dupree Davis, who is

Organization of farmers in this
community for the new farm pro-
gram will be perfected at a meet-
ing to be held Friday night in the
City Hall auditorium. Plans were
made for the organization at a
meeting of a large group of farm-
ers held Monday evening at which
time County Agent W. M. Love ex-
plained the new farm program
which provides for two types of
payments.
Payments up to $1 per acre for
each acre devoted to soil conserv-
ing crops or uses, regradless of any
change in the cropping system. A
soil conserving payment for divert-
ing soil depleting to soil conserving
and improving crops.
County Agent Love showed how
payments would be allotted on a
100 acre farm in this vicinity,
planted 65 acres in. soil depleting
crops, and 35 acres in soil conserv-
ing.
Even if the farmer made no
change in his cropping plan in
1936 he would receive $1 per acre
for each of the 35 in soil builders.
If he took fifteen acres out of
cotton and planted them in soil
builders he would receive $1 an
acre additional or $15.
Complete explanation of the new
program was published in Satur-
day’s issue of the Ennis Daily
I News.

| the State of Arkansas at night2 •
Trc slot through Mississippi, maP
bama and part of Tennessee at day
time again.
The land of the states are not
fertile for all I saw was timber-
land, sandy and clay lands, rug-
ged hills and mountains.
It is very interesting to see how
they irrigate the land, and how
they prepare the timber into bun-
dles to be shipped.
I have seen several homes under
water where they lay out of some
river washed over. In most of the
places the land is not even broken
up after the last crop. There was ,
not much of cattle to be seen
either, only a few herds in Tenn-
essee and Virginia.
Sunday evening just before sun-
set we passed the Cumberland
mountains in Tennessee. At one
place there are two mountains and
a lake between. Right at the time
we passed 'through the sun was
shining directly into the water and
these made a scene of beauty and
luxury.
The Cumberland mountains are
beautiful, all covered with trees
and red bud trees in bloom between.
The Blue Ridge mountains which
are located, in Virginia are very
high and steep; just as it says in
the song “My Blue Ridge Moun-
tain Home,” but I’m pretty sure
they would not want a home there
after having a view of them. You
will find people living everywhere
even down below these mountains.
The railroad runs through the
poorest part of the country and
that is why I didn't get to see
much of the productive lands. If I
had traveled on the highway I
would get to see the beautiful
Colonial homes' in Virginia.
I have passed the beautiful Poto-
mac river and I now am in Wash-
ington. As we passed through I
couldn’t resist stopping.
I saw the Capitol, White House,
Washington’s Monument and many
other important buildings.
The weather here is beautiful,
grass is green and trees are begin-
ning to bud and sprout. I was hop-
ing to be in time to see the view
of what they call cherry blossom
time in Washington. However, I
think it is a little too early for
them to bloom. I have learned that
spring has just begun here.
My opinion of Washington is
“the most beautiful city in the
world, and not a lonesome place
to live in.”
I do not know anyone here but
the strangers to me are just as nice.
I will stay here awhile before going
to New York.
I will not fail to recall of my
meeting a Catholic Nun who was
traveling on the same train. I
talked with her awhile. She thought
I was doing a mighty risk in trav-
eling into a big city. She presented
me with a medal, crucifix. Badge of
St. Joseph, and a picture of her-
self. She said: “Here, my child,
these gifts from me may take care
of you wherever you are.” So I

Woman’s Curiosity
May Bring Arrests
Daylight Bandits
Dallas, Texas, April 8.—A woman’s
curiosity may result in the capture
of three daylight bandits who rob-
bed the Borden Milk Company
Plant, 1811 Leonard, near Ross,
of $5,740 in cash and checks at
noon Monday.
“Keep your face 'to the wall,” the
armed bandits told fifteen of the
Borden Company, among them Mrs.
Anna Ball, 5450 Belmont, bookkeep-
er.
But Mrs. Ball didn’t obey the or-
der strictly. Her feminine curiosity
got the better of her judgment and
she risked just one fleeting glance.
It was sufficient for her to recog-
nize what she believed to be the
familiar features of a man she
once knew.
Detective Inspector Will Fritz re-
ceived the information and assigned
detectives to find the man named
by Mrs. Ball.
He had not been found by police
late Tuesday.

Budlaing stone, clay and lime-

found in Ellis county, according to
information assembled by the Texas

mineral resources of the State of

correction.
