Mr. Francis Finds
Burnt Crops West;
Home From Okla.
Hasn’t Seen Any Rain for Three
Weeks—Wouldn’t Give Cleve
land for Any Section
"I wouldn’t give Cleveland coun
ty for any section of Vie country
I have seen,” related J. B. Francis,
West Marion street, Shelby, who rt»
tumed yesterday from a three
weeks trip to Oklahoma. He and
his children, making a party of
five, went to see his father J. R.
Francis in Oklahoma City, Okla.,
and while away they visited many
*• states.
It has been extremely dry In Ok
lahoma and Arkansas. In all the
states I traversed, I did not see
any cotton that equals that' in
Cleveland. The drought has been
so long and severe, the crops are
literally burnt up. Most of the cot
ton is about 6 to 8 inches high and
com is hopeless. I haven't seen
any rain in the three weeks I have
been away. Beyond Memphis, I
saw a small area of good looking
cotton, but othir than that, Cleve
land county farmers are blessed in
comparison,” said Mr. Francis.
In Oklahoma City, given up to
have the richest oil fields in the
West, all storage space is filled and
the oil wells are operated only one
day a week. This gives, lots of un
employment. The oil wells are in
checkerboard arrangement and as
thick as trees in a grove, skid Mr.
Francis.
The party of five traveling in a
car used $31.63 worth of gas and
oil and traveled 3,710 miles.

In Death Case
Drove Car Which
Struck Girl
No Bond Fixed In Hearing; For Ne-'
pro Whose Car Kiljrd
Propat Girl.
After a hearing in county
court this morning Thomas
Daniels, young colored man,
whose automobile struck and
fatally injured little renew*
Propst, of the Belwood section,
on Monday, was sent back to
jail to await the ftext term of
Superior court.
No bond was fixed by Judge Ken
nedy as at this time the young ne
gro did not appear to be able to
raise a sufficient bond.
The little Propst girl, It will be re
membered, was fatally injured while
returning home from her first day
of school at Belwood. She was six
years of age and the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Propst. She had
Just alighted from the school bus
when hit by the auto. With her skull
fractured and her legs ‘broken she
was rushed to the hospi.al Were
where she died a few hours later.
Two Witnesses.
■ Only two witnesses testified at the
hearing here tills morning. They
were the negro and a white man.
Mr. Cook, who saw the tragic crash.
Cook said that the school bus had
parked on the right side of the road
going north and that the car driven
by the colored man was coming
south. Just before the colored man’s
car reached the bus the little girl,
he said, went around the rear of the
bus in front of the approacning car.
The car. he added, did not appear
to be going over 30 miles per hour.
The colored man said he saw the
child coming into the road just be
fore he reached her. but that he
thought, she would step oat of the
way. Instead, he said, she seemed
to be paralyzed with frignf and did
not move.. He slaped on his brakes,
stopped as rapidly as he could, he
said, and did a4 in his power to
avoid hitting hen The otheV children
who had alighted from the bus had
gone to the right, he said, and he
did not expect the little girl to go
the/other way.
One of the chief reasons where
the driver is held more 01 less lo
blame is that he did not come to a
full stop, as required by the State
law, which says that automobiles
must stop when approaching a
school bus loading or unloading
children.

Time Limit Is Up in Which to Se

Mayor Says
Shelby cops are playing tag to
day—with tagless city automobiles.
The new city auto license plates
should have been placed on all
Shelby cars at the end of May. City
officials, however, granted a two

months were up yesterday and
Shelby motorists who do not have
new tags on their cars today should
park in back alleys' and make a
trip to the city hall before motoring

Rutherford Cuts Off Agents To
Reduce Tax Rate Only One Cent
Tax Rate towered Slightly by Move.
Action Causes Stir
There.
(Prom Rutherford County News.)
The county commissioners Monday
eliminated the home %nd farm dem
onstration agents effective not later
than October 1, 1930. Monday was
the last day to go over the county
budget for the next .'fecal year,
though it will be about two weeks
yet before the tax rate for this coun
ty will be definitely known for this
year. The two offices cost Ruther
ford county $3,110 a year.
It. takes a "lopping off’ of; $3-500
to reduce the county's tax rate one
cent on each $100 worth oi taxable
property. In other words, the tax
rate last year was $1.39 on each
$100 worth of taxable property and
if the county had abolished this
work last year the rate would have
been $1.38 and a fraction of a cent.
The county pays Mr. F K. Patton,
farm agent $133.33 per month, which
includes expenses and Miss Laura
Howard, home agent, $125 per
months including expenses. Both of
their salaries are supplemented by
the state and federal governments.
Their salaries are paid until the
first of June and $1,075 was put in
the budget to continue tneii work
about four months longer.
Jones Comments.
Mr. J. P. Jones, member of the
board of county commissioners in
discussing the matter to the News
Wednesday morning stated: “We
are anxious to do what tne people
want. We have had complaints about
the work of both agents, < mainly on
account of not. visiting every farm
in tlie county). Some want it. con
tinued and some do not. It will have
to be definitely determined within
the next two weeks. Personally, I
think they are both doing good work
and I dislike to see their work cease.
We have had many requests tq “cut
down” but cutting out both of their
jobs will not reduce the tax rate
enougti to tell, less than l cent in
the levy on each SICK) worth of tax
able property.”

Chicks Can’t Sweat,
And Die From Heat
They Die When Atmosphere Gets
Hotter Than Their Body
Temperature.
Washington.—The high .tempera
tures of the past few days have kill
ed many chickens and turkeys in
nearby Maryland, including 91 prize
hens in the egg-laying contest of the
University of Maryland. The hot
weather also (f used a sharp drop in
the egg production in the contest.
Chickens have no swpa‘, ulands, it
was explained at the University of
Maryland, and when the atmosphere
gets hotter than their body temper
ature of 105 degrees they hequeni
ly die.
During the past week the mercury
went to 108 degrees in the contest
plant. Deaths and prostrations oc
curred so rapidly among the hens
that the attendants were kept busy
keeping the records straight and re
viving those birds that would re
spond to treatment. Only two of the
91 birds lost were leaders in the con
test, it was reported. All the hens
are housed in well ventilated pens
w'ith runways.
Cut Force Of
Deputies Here,
Allen Informs
Several Officer*
Are Cut Off
Maintaining Big Force Expensive
By Insurance Plan. Economy
Move* Cat
__ I j
There are four less deputy
sheriffs in Cleveland county to
day than there were yesterday,
and by the end of the month
the force will be decreased by
eight to ten, H was announced
today by Sheriff Irvin M. Al
len.
There are two reasons for
cutting the force of officers, ac
cording to the sheriff. One is
that the workman's compensa
tion act requires the county to
keep all officers insured and
this is quite a bit of expense
with a large force. Another is
that Sheriff Allen does,not be
lieve there Is enough crime go
ing on in the county to require
a large force, and the rut is
bring made as a matter of
economy.
Deputies do not draw regu- '
lar salaries and their only pay
Is from fees in cases on convic
tion. From that 'standpoint a
large force, was no expense to
the colmty, but the insurance
requiremetot added a cost that
is partly eliminated by a rut in
the force.

Shelby's tree-sitter who hopes
to brine a record to town, had
completed his second day—4R

In his pear tree home determin

Since young: O'Shields climbed in
to the big tree, at the rear of The
Star building, between Campbell’s

at least 3,000 people have visited the
scene of the attempt at a record,
Wednesday night the alley was flli

day a constant stream of people,
many of them young boys and girls,
keep moving to and from the tree.
During the day and early hours
of the -night from three to a half
dozen youngsters have kept him
company in his shady retreat. Only
In the late hours of the night has
he been alone, refusing so far all of
fers from pals to spend the night
with him.
Gets a Mattress
His first night was a bit uncom
fortable due to the hardness of his
plank bed. but.last night he fared
better on a mattress loaned by the
Kester-Groonije furniture firm. The
rain and thunder storm at noon
Thursday failed to drive the tree
sitter out. An awning tent, con
tributed by Lutk and Jaekaon, with
spliced sides, held much of the rain
off htai and the radio loaned him by
the Pendleton store. So that the
tree-sittef may have a bit of spend
ing money when he comes down Dr

Present Drought In United States
Worst Country Ever Experienced
Heavy Damage to Crops. No Gen
eral Relief in Sight
• Yet
Washington, D. C.—-The searing
drought which for weeks and
months has baked large areas be
tween the Rocky Mountains and
the Appalachians was listed today
as the worst the country has ex
perienced since State-widS weather
records began
J. B. Kincer, meteorologist of the
departmftit of agriculture, de
scribed tt as unparalleled in the
records which reach back 40 or 50
years.
Farmers who have watched their
crops wither under almost unprece
dented temperature records accom
panying moisture deficiencies, par
ticularly corn, pastures and fall
truck crops, received no encourage
ment. The forecast division of the
weather bureau said no relief was in
sight for several days more at least.
“Every a National day without
rain," Kincer said, ' notwilhstand
1
ing cooler' weather, necessarily will
further reduce crop prospects."
Wheat Escapes
Winter wheat harvest, however, is
nearing completion without appre
ciable damage. Considerable de
terioration to the late spring wheat
was reported but harvesting of the
early crop is well advanced.
Cotton has suffered in some sec
tions,
The drought has existed in some
states since last December, in oth
ers sinch March and in still others
the dry weather began in the grow
ing months of June and July.
In addition to the scanty rainfall
■in July, increasing drought condi
tions already prevalent over large
areas, three extremely hot waves
followed to intensify them.
During July, temperatures of 100

’‘There is nothin* about the

we are planning on publishin*
each month every Item of ex*
penae the county has,’* Mr. 4.
E. Cline, chairman of the
Cleveland commissioners and
county auditor, aaid today.
Many people, he explained, find
it difficult to get all the informs -
tion they want out of the annual
publication or the county expense*
and audit. Desiring to keep the
public posted on all ex
pense the commtssf&lewyPHi to
return to the old method of pre
paring an extra copy of the bills
ordered paid at each monthly meet
ing for publication in The Star.
Prior to the new business system in
stalled some years ago the month
ly expense list as endorsed by the
commissioners was published each
month Under the voucher system
the method of approving the
monthly bills was somewhat differ
ent and for a time the monthly list
was not published.
Altlfcugh It may take a bit of ad
ditional work to prepare a copy of
this monthly session, as it touches
upon finance, the commissioners be
lieve it will be the best way of
keeping taxpayers informed and
plan to follow that hereafter.
Each Item I.isted
“Every person," Mr. Cline said,
"can then tell Just where every cent
of money is going. Each bill be

bills approved at the meeting Mon
day will be turned over to The Star
during the week We not only have
no desire to keep anything secret,
but think it far best for all concern

The only county expense . other .
than the monthly bills as recorded
at the meeting of the commission
