CARROLLTON, DALLAS COUNTY- TGXA8, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1928
NUMBER 49
What Happened
Chronicle subscribers were
amazed last Friday morning when
they did not receive their paper
as usual, For the past year we
have never missed having the
paper ready for the patrons on
Friday and it was naturally a
great surprise to them to not
have it, Well it just couldn’t b *
helped. We had the paper on the
press Thursday evening and had
run about thirty copies when the
main shaft on the press broke
and we had to carry it to Dallas jcanville, Mrs. Henry
Annual Red Cross Mem- Death of Commodore Waddle
bership Drive Soon Starts
and get the piece electrically
welded. As a result it was Fri-
day afternoon before we had the
press repaired and the paper
run.
Modern ingenuity is certainly
a great thing In the old days it
would h ive been net e -sary to get
a new shaft and that would have
taken considerable more time
than to mend the broken part.
One nice thin" about the acci •
dent was that it shows us how
the paper is appreciated; folks
came to see just why they had
not received their paper as usual.
It is much like a wife leaving
home for a lime—it makes hubby
appreciate her when she comes
back.
With only a few more days be-
fore the roll call, the Red Cross
chairmen and workers are tight-
ening up the lines of their orga-
nization in the city and county.
H. L Goerner, chairman of the
county, announces his line up of
workers as follows:
Richardson. Jess M. Harben;
Carrollton, W. L. Martin; Grand
Praiiie, C. G. Zimmerman; Dun
Daniels;
Lancaster, E. O. Box; Garland,
After a two weeks illness in a
Dallas hospital “Com” Waddle
passed tc his reward on Oet. 12,
1928. The funeral services were
held at North Dallas Baptist
church in Dallas and he was
buried at Forest Lawn Cemetery
Oct. 15.
Com was born in Overton coun
ty, Tenn., June 13, 1890 and at
the time of his death was 38

“The American Red Cross,”
Mr. Goerner explains, “Is an
official auxiliary to the army and
navy. It is audited by the War
Department. The annual budget
of Dallas county is $28,000 and
50 cents of every dollar mem-
bership is sent to national head-
quarters. The chapter this year
is asking for 30,000 members of
which tlie county has taken
5,000 as its quota. Dallas chap-
ter takes part in the world wide
disaster relief, in the caring for
exsoldiers, locally as well as nat
ionally, in life saving, first aid,
nutrition in the schools, making
books for the blind by voluns
teers, making sweaters, layettes,
etc and Christmas boxes for
soldiers and sailors in distant
ands. This is a wonderful op-
portunity for holding up the
hands of the Red Cross, a chance
to take part in l life work of the
greatest Samaritan in the world.
This roll call starts Monday.
Surviving are his beloved wife-

Austin, Texas, Oct. 25: Als
though weather conditions dur-
ing September were rather
unfavorable to the growing crop,
cotton, from a statistical point of
view, is in a much stronger
position than it was a month ago,
according to Bervard Nichols,
editor of the Texas Business
Review, issued monthly by the
Bureau of Business Research of
the University of Texas.
“The unfavorable weather con-
ditions, especially in the eastern
part of the cotton belt, resulted
in a material decline in the indi-
cated production. InTexas.how-
ever the crop made good pros
gress, except in the North and
West, where plants deteriorated,
due to lack of moisture
A much better sentiment has
developed in the textile trade in
the past few weeks. Yarn mark-
ets are looking up and demand
is growing for cloth, both in the
United States and in Europe.
Moreover, China and India are
taking advantage of the present
low prices of cloth. Settlement
of the New Bedford strike is a
desirable development.
“The Texas supply of cotton is
placed at 5.050,000 bales, against
a harvest of 4,352,000 bales last
year. Consumption in Septem-
ber totaled 492,000 bales, aga-nst
627,000 bales in September, 1927.
Prices advanced sharply after
about the middle of the month.”

Every family in this community that does
not live within its means must go through
trying and irritating hour during which
its members face facts. It is best to have
the institution of home based soundly
upon the principle that INCOME must
exceed OUTGO. Why not put your home
affairs on a business basis? Open an ac-
count here and adopt the policy of spend-
ing just a little less than your income.
You will be surprised how quickly you
will have cash in hand to make invest-
ments that are sound and which will
bring you more cash in hand.
Let us help you to make the start. It will
be a pleasure to lend you any assistance
possible.

representative of that company,
went out to interview some of

tive to the installation of light

they tell us, eight farm homes
between Carrollton and Addison
have installed this service. Farm
There are many reasons why
advertised goods sell best. In
speaking of nationally advertised
goodsyfor example travelers are
able to purchase the same brand
of ci ackers in the east as in the
west, in the north as in the south
and all of them are equally good
and crisp
And the same principals apply
to ail merchandise and goods
made and sold locally, the buyer
knows that a local advertiser is
ready to stand back of his mer-
chandise. He has given his print-
ed word to the general public and
must keep it. It is the mark of
good faith and is recognized by
buyers the world over as such.
Almost without exception, all
of the improvements in packages,
or other containers havt'been the
direct outcome of advertising
one day while at the State Fair.
While he wa9 sitting there he got
an earfull along some lines that
he thot might interest his read
ers and so he told them about it
in this wise:
While mingling around over
the fairgrounds Friday the News
editor heard many things of in-
terest, but about the most inter-
esting was comments by women
who were chaperoning children.
One dear lady who had four
juveniles on her hands was sit-
ting down to rest on a bench next
to where we were doing a little
dog easing, and she was one mad
sister. She was telling a friend
that she had been a Hoover sup-
porter, but had changed her pol
itics. It was all caused by the
conduct of the colored folks on
the grounds. She said she had
trouble getting her children on
the merrygoround and. other
riding devices because of the
rush of niggers for these, and it
seemed to her that the niggers
considered Hoover already elect-
ed and iace equality a fact. We
don’t know whether she will take
the stump or not, but if a lot of
Southern people who are hooping
up Hoover could have heard her
they would have something to
think about,
We heard several other similar
complaints along this line, but
none so drastic as this one.
Doubtless others present on that
day heard similar complaints.

T. J. Swaffer, a farmer living
in the Rose Hill community,
sowed four acres of alfalfa the
first of last April. This patch
has been cut three times this
summer, making a total yield of
thirteen tons, “If it rains soon I
will get another cutting before
frost” said Mr. Swaffer. The
land was bedded once, the ridg-
es leveled with a section harrow-
seed sown broadcast and har-
rowed lightly.
“I’m going to sow teu acres
more of alfalfa next Spring;
would sow it now but cotton is
on the land.” Mr. Swaffer said.
