Are You Thankful?
Sure, you must be! For notwithstanding the dire outlook
last July and August, November has brought us much
more corn than we expected good quality, and all in
the crib. Plenty to eat, many friends and a good town
in which to do your trading or to come to live. Yes, we
are thankful. And remember, we are here to assist you.
Do not fail to ask us.

A Dangerous Place.
As the writer and a business man
of Murray were in conversation we
no-iced an elderly lady of Murray
pass along the opposite side of the
street going mat, and as the walk
led to the corner, the step:; which
had formerly been there to allow
Pedestrians to descend to the street,
had been broken, this left a space ot'
about four feet to ge' to the street.
IThe woman looked the matter over
; and thinking she did not wish to re
lurn and go around attempted to
i get down from the walk, and in do
: ing so slipped, falling headlong with
! her many bundles as she had been
shopping. A passerby ran to her a
sistanre. picking her up and restor
ing her bundles which were scatter
ed over the ground and helped her
st ? started on her way home. She
I was fortunate in that she was not

and dark, how easilv a lee: or a;i

being shown to the retail forces from

In New Ycrk and Philadelphia, where
the Chevrolet forces hnve been laying

is 1.000.000 cars.

Expect Recovery Year.
The plan means increased inven

feel confident that the inventory wfH

take the view that 1931 will be a
recovery year in the automobile trade
and that 19o2 will produce new high
records.
"Experience." quoting Mr. Coyle,
"has shown us that business moves
in three year cycles a poor year,
a recovery year and a new high rec

a poor year, 1931 will be the recov

High Court
Upholds Freight
Rate Order
Sustains L C. C. Decision Dividing
Revenue in Southwest
Trunk Lines Gain
W :.shington. D. C. Nov. 24. The
division of freight rates among rail
roads in the southwestern and the
western territory ordered by the in
terstate commerce commission in
192S was sustained today by the su
preme court.
In a case brought by the Beau
mont. Sour Lake & Western and
other southwestern railroads, the
court analyzed at length the vari
oofl ( 'ortentions advanced by those
railroads for attacking the crder and
found that none of them required it
be set aside.
Pointing out that 12 western
trunk tinea and 3 2 southwestern car
riers were parties to the investiga
tion conduted by the commission,
the court held that it was not neces
sary for the commission to pass on
each rate separately between each
connecting carrier.
It held the investigation had been
sufficiently thorough. The commis
sion found that the western trunk
lines were entitled to a larger share
in the division of rates.
It was estimated the order would
increase their receipts from such
traffic approximately three million
dollars annually. No merit was
found in the contention of the south
western roads that the order was de
fective because based upon average
conditions in the group.
It was found that the commission
had complied with its duty of adjust
ing rates in the two groups so as to
earn as nearly as possible a fair re
turn upon the aggregate value of
their operating property. World

"approximately a score" of United

taken into custody Tuesday after
noon by special treasury agents for
questioning about Detroit river rum

ed in the arrest of twenty-three cus

paid bribes to customs border patrol
men to insure uninterrupted passage
for boat loads of beer across the De

A GREAT OFFERING
The Ritz theatre is announcing the
coming qf the great photoplay, "Com
mon Clay," which will be shown on
Sunday and Monday, November 30th
and December 1st.
Here is what J. C Jenkins of the
Herald-World. Denver, says of the
picture:
"We have just learned whe that
elderly lady was who played the part
of the adopted mother to Constance
Bennett in 'Common Clay,' and from
this time on we are going to
scan every poster in front of every
theatre we see in order to not miss
a picture she is playing in.
"Just to impress the name of Beryl
Mercer on your mind and whenever
she appears in a picture go and see
it if you have to mortgage every
shoat on the place. When she appear
ed on the witness stand in 'Common
Clay' and said 'I'm a God fearing
woman and I want to tell the God's
truth, Mr. Lawyer,' she put so much
earnestness into her testimony that
we felt like we wanted to go and
put our arm around her neck and
kiss her as we used to do with our
mother, and considering the age of
both of us, we can't see as it would
have done any harm could we I
done it. It is pictures like Common,
Clay' that will build confidence In
the future of the industry."
