M. P. Asks Exhibit
Car Start On Its
Trip After Fair
«»?A|Ni.BB£IT0, 0ct' 12—The Mis
souri I acifie railroad believes that
1/eccmber is a better time to send the
'alley exhibit car over the M. P.
system, than is January, as suggested
by ths Valley Chamber of Commerce
secretaries.
Th« reason assigned by the Mis
souri Pacific officials, in a letter
to W. R. McGarrity of the McAllen
chamber, copy of which was received
here, is that the Valley will have
I more time during the remainder of
the seeson in which to benefit from
interest attracted by the car.

Noted Graphologist
Dear Miss Rice:
“I am 22 and seem to have gotten
nowhere in life. I have mostly girl
friends and don’t seem to be inter
ested any more in the fellows. I am
very unsettled. Can you tell me how
to overcome this?”
“LORALEE.”
Why, dear child, there is nothing
the matter except that you are grow
ing up and that you need a real oc
cupation, strong ambitions and train
ing and stimulation of your mind.
It is not natural for young people
to be concerned solely with social
life and with mating, natural as
those two interests are to such a time
in life. This is especially true of
people like yourself who are so in
ately thoughtful.
As for getting nowhere in life
. . . Loralee. 22 is just infancy!
I don’t care how old and serious
you feel, that’s a fact. Make up
your mind that you are going on
growing up for at least the next eight

years, and that self-training and
mental training are the things to
which you need to turn your atten
tion. Then you will be interesting
to interesting people, and will slowly
build up a circle of friends who will
mean something to you.
Do not have such a “do-less” atti
tude toward life. Your nature has
some laziness in it. You are too easy
going. Try to make a more deter
mined stand toword life, in general.
I know that you have courage and
that your mind is an excellent one
and that you are more or less men
tally efficient. Try to do mental
work. How about being a librarian?
That pays well, would interest you
and would bring you in contact with
the people whom you could genuinely
like and respect. Put the thought of
marriage out of your mind for a
while and when you do decide to
marry, it will probably bring you
happiness.
HOW TO DO IT
Showing a Happy Diapoaitlon
It is not possible to judge the dis
position by one indication in writing.
We have to make a composite picture
to be sure of this deduction.
The basic line which slants upward
is one of the most positive signs of a
happy disposition, but if the writing
is angular that upward slant
is more of a sign of energy and am
bition than it is of a really happy
nature. The upward writing which
is angular tells us of people who
fight against unreasoning depression.
The rounded writing which has an
upward flung basic line expresses a
nature which does net have to fight,

but accepts life with joy and assur
ance.
If the cross-bar of the letter “t”
flies far in advance of the letter and
if the “i” dot does the same, the
writer has the instinct to accept life
hopefully and in it usually can find
amusement and interest, no matter
what its trials and tribulations.
The writing which is even and well
spaced and written at a slow pace
may be the expression of a good and
sweet tempered disposition, but it is
never the exponent of gayety.
KLAN SLAYING
NEARING JURY
Former Organizer on
Trial Third Time
At Sweetwater
SWEETWATER, Tex.. Oct. 12.—(JP)
ith the court's charge to the jury
completed and attorneys’ arguments
well under way, as the result of a
special night session, the trial of
L. P. Kirk, former Ku Klux Klan or
ganiser, for the murder of Crawford
Tabor near Whitney in 1924 was ex
pected to reach the jury today.
Tabor was ahot to death near the
farm home of his father-in-law,
J. N. Wells, after Kirk and four
companions hid called, according to
their testimony, to take the deceased
man to a Klan initiation. The state
has attempted to prove that the five
klansmen had Intended to inflict bod-1
ilv injury upon Wells.
From the witness stand yesterday
Kirk related events of the night of
Tabor’s death, consistently refuting
previous testimony of Wells, the
father-in-law.
Wishing to initiate Tabor into the
klan and having learned that Wells,
with whom Tabor lived, was opposed
to the organization, the five klansmen
decided upon a ruse to get Tabor
away from the house without arous
ing his father-in-law’a suspicions.
Kirk testified.
Upon reaching the vicinity of the
Wells home, Kirk said, he left his
companions in the automobile and
went to the house afoot, intending
tn plead motor trouble and ask
Tabor’s assistance. Tabor, the would
be klansman, then was to have been
taken into a neighboring field and
initiated.
Welle volunteered to accompany
him to his automobile. In walking
to the car, Kirk said, he was in
front, with Wells and Tabor walking
behind. Just before reaching the
machine, Kirk testified, he heard a
shot and turned to see Tabor
grappling with Wells, who held a 1
pistol in his hand. One more shot
was fired, he «*id.
According to Kirk’s testimony, he
then got in the automobile with his
companions, one of whom had been
wounded, and drove away.
Two previous trials of Kirk re
sulted in hung juries.
