tary. Mr. R. B. Dawes, showed a sub
stantial gain, having more than
doubled its membership in the year.
All officers were re-elected for the
ensuing year. The officers re-instated,
together with various committeemen
are as follows; M. W. Sattetrfleld.
president; W. A. Sergeant, vice-pres

composed of E. E. Bradsher. J. J.
Woody and_ H. L. CrosslL__
The Assoslatlon decided to put on
a dollar day campaign sometime dur
ing the summer months, the date to
be decided later. The question of
closing the stores for a half day each
week was discussed, but no action
taken in the matter.
SheriS M. T. Clayton had an idea
that if a little raid was made down
in Holloways township an illicit still
plant could be found. Acting under
the supervision of this idea a rtip was
made a few days ago resulting In the
location of a very crude still outfit.
The kettle was of the steel tub type
while the cap was made of wood and
the stem of copper. The outfit was
taken but without any finished pro
duct or any material. The "run" had
been completed and the operators had
moved along. The only copipany or
help that SherlfT Clayton had was
two young school boys who went along
through mere curiosity.

BETHEL HILL DEFEATS
ROXBORO HIGH 14-8
Final Inning Proves Poison To
Roxboro In One Of Season's
Hardest Fought Games
With almost everything In baseball
included, both good and bad. Bethel
Hill walked over Roxboro tn the
final innings by a 14-8 score. Roxboro
secured an early 5-0 lead, then Bethel
Hill took: the lead 7-5. Roxboro scored
three In sixth to take an 8-7 lead. In
the eighth, inning Wilborn G? scored
two runs with a triple down third
base line. This put Bethel Hill In
front again and to this she added
flv? more In ninth on a perfect bunt
by Montague and a home run bv Em
mitt Wilborn.
Both teams batted the pitchers
rather freely and most of the time
fielded well. However several runs
were sccred by each team due to er
rors. The Bethel Hill pitchers. Mon
tague and Wilborn. struck out ten,
while- Perkins whiffed right for Rox
boro. All in all. the game was clean
and hard fought with plenty of thrills
and heart aches for the rooters of each
team. Mr. Harris of Roxboro, called
the game and was very satisfactory to
both team* and the supporters of each.
Bethel Hill meets Durham In Rox
boro In a championship on Wednes
day, at 3:30. Durham defeated Rox
boro by a one run margin and this
game should be a thriller. ? Cor.

We don't' know exactly what the.
remedy should be for this regular

a rabbit's foot, or possibly an old

will guarantee a change of luck
for him and his team. Those who
are enthusiastic for the home team
are always disappointed when they
fail to bring home Jhe bacon. They

MEXICAN TROUBLE
VIRTllftltY OM
Proposals Of Surrender Made
To Federal Officials By
Rebel Leaders
Nogales. Sonora, April 30. ? With
dramatic flourishes Mexico's latest re
volution virtually passed out of the
formal military stake here today.
Sudden and unexpected proposals of
surrender by the few revolutionary
leaders who had not fled from this
i city to the United States for Safety
I were accepted by the Mexican govern
ment with assurances of safety, food,
clothing and shelter as requested.
The parade of rebel chieftains to
safer soil was followed today by an
aerial attack on the city by federal
planes, -which, although apparently
doing little damage, evidently hast
ened the declstiW to surrender.
The feeling of uneasiness was en
hanced when 500 Yaqui Indian troops
at the rebel garrison bolted. It was
asserted thev had left to Join the
forces of General Oonzalo Escobar,
commander-in-chief of revolutionary
I armies, who is supposed to be at Pul

GREAT TO WORK ON FARM
"Why, even the call of Broadway
came from the farm ? 'hey! Hey!'"
says Texas Gulnan. "I'm a ranch pro
duct myself and certainly can teach
farmers how to sow wild oats. Of
course"? and she winked? "I cater to
the gentleman farmer.
"You hear a lot about farm relief
these dfiys.
"The only thing anybody read In
the McNary-Haugen Bill was the part
about farm relief.
"It's the farmer who puts the pres
ident in the chair. No class of people
roaches the farmer in influence."
exas Gulnan .is the most' dazzling
spectacle in alt New York, the most .
talked of woman in the world today.
perhaps because she symbolizes the
gay elements of city life as does no
one else.
Originator of the phrase "Hello,
sucker," which Is the form of her
greeting to night club patrons, and
"Olve The Little Girl A Hand "? her
bid for applause ? she has fascinated
all Manhattan by her personality.
And yet Texas Gulnan. the greatest
whoopee artist of them all. often
I thinks longingly of the farm. In an "
I exclusive interview with a representa
tive of the Autocaster News Service,
she told of her early life on a ranch
near Waco, Texas, a ranch of tre
mendous proportions, "unpaid for un
til the time I left it."
"Just get me somebody"? she leaned
forward? "witH a "lot "of dough and a
nice farm already paid for -and invite
me to go there and rest ? oh baby!
"On the farm people make (heir awn
laws. But I guess they'd keep an eye
on me on the farm too. They'd bet
ter.
"I've been made the football of thfr
prohibitlon lai-. you know? and I've
never had a drink in my life.
"It's easy to be a good girl on the
I farm but you're got to be a good firt
Fin the city to^etaway with it!
"It's great to live on. a farm If you
? can afTord to. What with radios and
telephones, and all the rest of it, a.
farm's a country home now.
"When I was out In the great open
' spaces we had no such conveniences.
I "In those days people wanted to cut
'away from the farm on account. of
loneliness ? today on the farm you can
[ hear ball games, Inauguration cere
monies and everything you -want over
1 the radio and have a better time than
you would have on the scene.
j "In my mail I get thousands of let
ters from kids saying 'I've got talent.'
If they all came to the city there
wouldn't be enough room to hold 'em.
"If the person Intending to leave
! the farm saw written before her a
. record of what she had to do and the
j hard knocks she would have to ex
. perlence before succeeding, not one in
j one thousand would Have the nerve to
, chance it.
' "Of course I've trained, a lot of
kids who came to me from the farm
and are now married to millionaires,
but for every one who Makes a big hit
> hundreds are disappointed.
"The. farm is the hearth of the
TlBMWn m"*"
"I know people wllo come from
farms who ca'tl never wait- to get back
to them. And say. it's wonderful to
drive In your own farm gates ? see the
well cultivated ground ? the flne home
that's all paid , for, and say: 'Oee, I'm
glad to get away from the city mesa."
Farms aren't uncomfortable any more.
People go to them to recuperate from
Illness.
"There's got to be somebody oh the
farm for everyone out of It, and It's
Just as great to work on the farm a?
It Is to be in the swim of things In
