THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSO. foreign Advertising Representative. Wednesday, July 25, 1934 pforia: YES IT IS DRY, BUT Yes, it is dry, but consider our condition with that of many of the Northwestern States; crops cf all kinds have literally burned up, nothing growing and almost entire states asking for help for the farm ers. True, our corn and tobacco are suffering for rain, but they are not destroyed by any means, and if they both should prove to be an entire failure we still have an ordinary crop of wheat, with some vegetables in the garden, which the section mentioned above do not have. We are too prone to complain; we re member back in the spring, when it was raining every day, we com plained. saying we would not be able to plant our crops', in fact Kany acres of com never was planted, but it stopped raining and nearly every one managed to get in just a little more tobacco than his contract Call ed for, and a fairly large crop of com ias planted. Now, because it does not rain when we think we need it, we are complaining again saying the crop is ruined, etc. There are laws a plenty againsl gambling, yet the farmer gambles .every season on the weather, th? winds and hail storms, gojit knowing it to be a gamble it looks like h< would get accustomed to the man; chances he takes, yet, every yeai this same complaining goes on. Ol course, we would like to see a bum per crop raised every year so thai the farmer might get on easj street, still, there are many reason; why this would not be best; be cause the farmers agreed to curtai their 1934 tobacco crop 30 per cenl we saw the Inst crop sell for flftj per cent more than it d'd the yeai before; now that the curtailment U a surety every one is expecting to see this crop bring at least twenty five per cent .and maybe more, than the last crop; If a reduction of thirty per cent wll cause a twenty five per cent increase in price, then it Is possible if, owing to the weather the crop suffers another cut it may bring a still .higher price, and the farmer stfU be the gainer by the shortage. The proper thing to do Is to make the best -of the situation, lea vine the results with,Him who. doth all things well. SITTING STILL AND WAITING This idea of sitting still and -waiting'is. we'have learned to our sorrow, a. poor ftollcy. There is no better people on God's green earth than is found right here in Person county and Roxboro, yet we have been so self-satisfied that we have not asked for what was our Just de serts. Take for instance, a post of fice building; the office here has been moved from pillar to post, sometimes being housed }n a little shack not worthy the name of a post office; however, please do not misinterpret this, for we do n|ot mean to say the present location 1s not worthy; we simply >te&n that in times past such has been the case, but we drifted along feeling all would be well in the future. Now what Jwppens? Towns with a third less population, and decidedly less postal receipts, get government buildings. Why? Be (cause we did "">* go alter the pro position. And as to reads, we probably have about the smallest mileage of first class road of any county in the State# only one first class road In the County, that from Durham to the Virginia state line, less than 25 miles, and the County Is still paying Interest on about five hun dred thousand dollars borrowed to mainly build this road. And the reason we hare such a small mile age is because we have not let the highway commission know we felt that we were being discriminated against. The County Is now askin for consideration, and we feel sure that from this good day those in authority will learn that while we have been very meek patience has ceased to be a virtue and Person county is going to insist that some thing be done over this way. We ar^. not complaining with the highway e&mmisison, for under sim ilar circumstances we would have done just as they have done; doz ens and dozens of delegations ap pear before the commission at al-, most every session clamoring for roads, and because Person said noth ing, asked for nothing, they natur ally supposed we were satisfied and built other roads. But gentlemen, fair warning, we are going to camp with you in the future. The fanners of Franklin county met and resoluted concerning the Bankhead cotton bill, claiming Korth Carolina had been discrimi nated against in the allotment. This was the bill which our Senator Jo siah William Bailey spoke so vigor ously against vhen it was before !the Senate, claiming it was not fair to the small fellow. Well, it seems that Mr. Bailey had seen further .into it than some others, and now the farmers are commending him for his action. Mr. Ben Davis, the Texaco oil man, says you can't judge by ap pearances; for instance you see more cars on .the roads today than , ever before, yet the sales of gas have fallen off. He says he be lieves that eight out of ten of the cars on the road have less than twc gallons of gas in them. Probably just swapped an old hen for a gal lon of gas and is keeping up with the Joneses. Thousands of Women Benefited By Cardui The benefits many women obtain from Cardui give them great con fidence in it .. "I have four chil dren," writes Mrs. J. L. Norred, of Lagrange, Oa. "Before the birth of my cMMren, I was weak, ner vous and tired. I had a lot of trouble with my back. I took Car dui each time and found it so help ful. Cardui did more to allay the nausea a"i) these times than any-' thing I have gvpr used. I am In very good health and believe Cardui did a lot of It." . . . Thousands of women testify Cardui benefited them.

July 22.?John Dillinger,' I arch criminal of the age. was shot I dead tonight by a group of Depart , ment of Justice operatives as he j | walked out of a Chicago movie theatre. | He whipped an automatic revol , ver out of his pocket and had it half raised when the operatives loosed a withering blast of revolver fire that dropped him mortally wounded He died a few minutes later. I KjPifteen operatives had surround-1 ed the theater, after information had reached Melvtn H. Purvis, Chi-' cago agent for the Department of Justice, that Dillinger would attend the show. Not a word was spoken as the outlaw ran Into the cordon of > officers. | Dillinger knew what was coming.! I He gave a hunted look, reached I quickly into his pocket, and the guns roared. Swift Tempo. ' The end of the greatest man-hunt , in contemporary criminal annals came in the swift tempo in which! the notorious outlaw had lived. I The federal men watched him buy j his ticket, and then for more than! two hours?"the longest two hours I ever spent," Purvis said?kept the theatre surrounded. . , I "It was late yesterday when I re ceived undercover information that, Dillinger would attend the movie,) 'Manhattan Melodrama,' at the Bio graph theater," Purvis said. "I hur-, rledly made arrangements to sur- j ; round the theater with picked men from my investigators. They werej armed only with pistols. No shot guns or machine guns were issued, for I wish no general firing that might endanger passersby." Stationed At Theatre "I stationed myself in my own automobile, parked two doors south of the theater, on the same side of, the street, and facing north. My men were stationed in doorways about the theater. I "It was shortly before 9 o'clock when I first noticed Dillinger. He] 'was ccatless. but wore a hat and gold-rimmed spectacles. He had passed my ear before I saw him, but I have studied every] a\allable photograph of him so care fully that I recognized the back < f his head immediately. "As he bought a ticket. I got pro file and front views of him, and l! knew I was not mistaken. Those j two hours that he spent in the theatre, two hours and four minutes to be exact, were the longest I ever spent." Left The Show. "By the time he left the show, [cur plans were complete, and my j men were covering the neighborhood about the show so thoroughly that | a cat couldn't have gotten through. "When Dilllnger left the show, he started south, and again passed my car without noticing me. As soon as he had gotten a step past my car, I thrust my right arm out of the car, dropped my hand and closed it, the prearranged signal for clos ing in. Instantly my men appeared from all sides. "Dilllnger gave one hunted look about him, and attempted to run up an alley, where several of my men were waiting. As he ran, he drew an automatic pistol from his pocket,, although I have always been told that he carried his weapons in his waist band." Too Late. "As his hand came up with the gun in it, several shots were fired by my men before he could fire. He dropped, fatally wounded. I had hoped to take him alive, but I was afraid he would resist to the last. "I was surprised to notice that the scar on the left side of his face had been removed without a trace, a nice piece of plastic surgery. It was one of the identification marks that I had impressed on my men." "I'm glad it's over." The theater faces on Lincoln avenue, on Chicago's Northwest side. Dillnger was walking south on Lincoln when he ran into the group of Federal operatives. Women Wounded.?-- - Scores of persons, drawn by the vigil, witnessed the dramatic shoot ing, and two women spectators were wounded when caught in the fire from the federal men's revolvers. They are: Miss Theresa Paulus, 29, slightly wounded in the left side, dnd Mrs. Etta Natelski. Dilllnger was shot through the back of the neck, the bullet com ing out just under the right eye. Another bullet crashed through his left breast. The latter would not have killed him, the bullet through the neck being fatal. At the Cook county morgue, at tempts were made to identify Dil llnger by his fingerprints, but the ends of his fingers were scarred, ap parently having been treated with acid. Purvis had definitely identi fied him before the body was taken to the morgue. " Examination at the morgue dis closed a recent wound In Dillinger's chest, about two Inches long, which had Just healed, and it was believed he had received it in a recent bank robbery raid. Purvis said his last known raid was the robbery of the People's Trust and Savings Bank at South Bend. Dillinger's hair was dyed coal black and cut very short. His eye brows appeared to have been pluck ed to a fine line. He had a small black mustache. . Seen Everywhere. Only yesterday the bank robber and ex-convict had been reported near Culver, Ind. The day before he had been "seen" near Whiting, Ind. Each dSy, almost' without a skip, he had been reported frojn some point between the two coasts. He had not been in custody, how ever. since March 3, when he bluff ed his way out of fhe county jail at Crown Point, Ind., with a wooden pistol. He had been awaiting trial for the slaying of Officer William O "Mailers- in the robbery of a bank at East Chicago, Ind. Dr. Charles D. Parker, coroner's physician, said that Dillinger's face apparently had been ' 'tampered |with." The outlaw had 'tried to have scars "lifted" in the beauty par lor manner. He had a scar on each cheek. "Dillinger evidently had been the subject of some expert plastic sur gery," Purvis said. "I also imagine his hair had been dyed in Chicago. He remained here,- in spite of t search for him, because he had friends here to shelter him." j. Pour .policemen from East Chi cago, Ind., fellow officers of the- pa trolmen allegedly slain by Dillinger gangsters on an Indiana highway, were in Purvis' office when word as to Dillinger's whereabouts was re ceived. They took part in the trap ping of the outlaw, but Purvis de clined to say who fired the shots that dropped Dillinger. The East Chicago officers were Timothy O'Neal, Walter Conroy, Glynn Stretch and Martin Zarko ,vich. Dillinger wore gray trousers that were well pressed, a .white shirt, open at the collar, a wine-colored tie, black sox, white low shoes, and a black belt with a plain .silver buckle. o Start Sermons By J. B. Cnrrin REJECTION I. '? "He that believeth not the Son shall not see life: but the wrath of God abideth on him." Yes God is exceedingly displeased with such a person. | But why is the God of love thus displeased with the man who dis believes Jesus? Why does his wrath abide in him: Let us now give our attention-to the answer to this question. Let us consider the rela tion between such a person and God. I We are told that men are. sinners. , "All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way." Again we read, "All have sinned and come short of the glory of God." A man without the Savior is lost. 1 Not only is he lost but he is help less to save himself. He cannot rid himself of sin; he cannot clean him self of -its stain; neither can he break its power over - him. That being the case Jesus Christ volunteered to take the place of that man and pay the punishment or bear the penalty of his siqs. This would set everything right between the sinner and God. Therefore there is no need for the man to miss the blessings of spiritual life and eter nal bliss. They are freely offered to him though procured by Jesus Christ at such a price as he paid on the cross. But after all that has been done this man rejects Jesus Christ and his offer of salvation. That we are told is the reason we insur the wrath of God. He may have a string of sins ever so long but they may be forgiven. It is because of his disbelief or rejection of Jesus Christ that he is lost. "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is- condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3. o FARM AND HOME WEEK FEATURES DRESS REVUE A novel dress revue In the form | of a garden party.
