and John Russell gave two num-

Following the entertainment
for the d'ay, John Russell report-

committee, which had previously
been appointed to meet with

On Monday afternoon, at the home
of Mrs. W. W. Rowton, the Woman’s
Missionary Society of the Methodist
church held one of the most enjoyable
meetings of the year, Hallowe’en dec-
orations made the home very attrac-
tive, and from a fortune pumpkin
future events were revealed to each
one present.
The devotional was given by Mrs.
Joiner, followed by an interesting
talk by Mrs. Wess Reed. Out-of-
town guests were Mesdames Broad-
foot and Creider of Bonham, who
added'much to the afternoon’s pleas-
ure. The Society is especially grate-

Entering the First National Bank
at Windom by a rear entrance, rob-
bers, sometime early Wednesday
morning, burned through the heavy
steel vault and also the heavy inside
safe and secured loot to the approx-
imate amount of $6000 or more,
$3000 of this amount being in cash
and about the same amount in gov-
ernment bonds.
The robbery was not discovered un-
til early Wednesday morning, when
parties went to the bank to sweep out,
and found the rear door open and the
inside looted. Bank officials and of-
went to the scene of the robbery, and
investigation for any possible clues
continued through the day. Finger-
print experts sent by the insurance
companies arrived in Windom shortly
after noon Wednesday, and until then
bank officials and employes disturbed
nothing, in order that experts and de-
tectives might be given every possible
help in running down the guilty

Years of experience and study,

fort to create an establishment
Upon entering the bank the bandits
pulled down all the window shades,
and evidently continued their work
undisturbed. The steel door to the
vault had a hole about seven inches
long and t\yo inches wide burned in
the combination by an acetylene
torch, and with the bolts burned, the
door was easily opened. On the in-
side, containing the bank’s cash ancJ
bonds, was a steel safe weighing
about 5000 pounds. This was turned
bottom side up and a hole large
enough for a person’s hand was
burned in it, from which the money
and bonds were taken. One of the
bank’s ledgers was also stolen. A tub
taken from the rear of a store was
filled with water and taken into the
bank and used to cool the safe, after
it had been burned through. The tub
was left in the bank. No clues of
any kind were left, as far as has been
given out by bank officials or local
and county officers who are working
in the case. Other papers in the in-
side safe were burned by the intense
heat.
The loss of the bank, including the
damage to the vault and safe, are
fully covered by insurance, and the
bank opened for • business as usual
Wednesday.
The robbers were evidently profes-
sionals, judging from their work and
their clean get-away.
Future Farmers Visit Fair.
Twenty-two members of the
Honey Grove Chapter of the Fu-
ture Farmers of America visited
the State Fair of Texas last Sat-
urday, which day had been set
aside by the Fair Association as
Future Farmers Day. The Fu-
ture Farmers of America is an
organization of High School stu-
dent who are members of the vo-
cational agriculture classes, and
the local club was organized
about two weeks ago, under the
direction of W. E. Las,seter, vo-
cational director.
The boys left Honey Grove at
5 o’clock Saturday morning, and
spent the entire day taking in
the Fair, having been guests of
the Fair, and free entertainment
was provided for them. They
were taken to Dallas by F. H.
Gose, who very kindly gave the
use of his large truck and his
services for this purpose, and
the boys and also Mr. Lasseter Signal-Citizen $1.50 Year in Advance,
are highly appreciative of his j Signal-Citizen, Dallas News, $2.25.
generosity. After having seen
all of the sights at the Fair, the
boys were taken into town,
where they attended the Majes-
tic Theatre and saw “Check and
Double Check,” an Amos and
Andy picture. They arrived in
Honey Grove about 3 a. m. Sun-
day.
The following made the trip:
Lonnie Carter, Wayman Paulk,
Wilson Emmons, Dan Hembree,
Glenn Shelton, Bloys Nunnally,
Leroy Emonms, Sam Wise, Ful-
ton Ware, Aubrey Bates, F. C.

Non-members of the F. F. A’s
who made the trip were: Bill

Cunningham.
Honey Grove Bakery Moved
to New Mexico.
Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, who have
been operating the Honey Grove
Bakery for the past two years,
closed the doors of the institu-
tion last Saturday night and on
Monday started packing it up,
preparatory to moving it to
Hobbs, N. M., where they will
go in business. This leaves Hon-
ey Grove without a bakery, the
first time in many years, and the
loss of this business can be
traced to the fact that Honey
Grove people apparently would'
prefer to patronize an out-of-
town concern than buy locally
made products, even though the
local product was of the same
and in some instances of better
quality.
Mr. and Mrs. Kelly have given
Honey Grove good' baking ser-
vice, and it is regretted that
they decided to cast their lot
elsewhere, but their friends here
wish them the best of success.
