THE EXAMINER: McKINNEY, TEXAS, APRIL 20, 1022
Farm Labor Union
To Meet Here May 13
On Saturday, April 8th, despite the
inclement weather, one of the largest
usesmblies of farmers met in Piano
that this little city ever witnessed.
Delegates from each local throughout
the county wa3 supposed to be here.
However, the rain kept hundreds from
reaching the convention.
The object of tho conventions which
meets once each month throughout
the county, is for the purpose of dis-
cussing and attending to tho business
of the farmers in a unionized way by
representatives or delegates from
every local in the county. At present
the organization has eighty-five locals
with a total membership of 2687 in
Collin county.
The ladies of the organization
brought baskets of dinner in the good
old fashioned way, and were permit-
ted, through the courtesy of our lum-
berman. to spread it beneath his huge
shed neor the Interurban station. Two
long tables the entire length of the
building were crowded with good
country cooking, while large cans of
hot coffee made the midday meals
complete in every respect.
At 2 p. m. the business meeting re-
convened and heard a welcome ad-
dress from the Mayor of the city, Mr.
Bradshaw, who, in behalf of the city
of Piano, welcomed the farmers in
a few simple well chosen words.
The members of the Farm Labor
Union whose home town is Piano
wish to thank the merchants and busi-
ness men of the city-who in any way
showed the mhospitality or assist-
ance that day, and assure each of
them that they will not be forgotten
by these farmers.
The sole aim of the Farm Labor
Union of America is to bettor our own
conditions, which means to all broad
minded people, the automatic pros-
perity of our city brothers and the
world at large. The next convention
will meet May 13th, at McKinney,
Texas. A MEMBER.
The Fire Department radio equip-
ment was ordered a few days ago
from a New York manufacturer, and
is expected to be received here with-
in about two months. As heretofore
announced it will be set up at the
city fire station when received. Tho
approximate cost of the equipment,
the Star-Courier leaVns is around $225.
The local lodge of Odd Fellows will
celebrate the anniversary of the
founding of that order on the night
of Wednesday, April 28. There will
be several musical numbers, a pro-
gram of reading^, and refreshments
will be served. The Star-Courier is
requested to announce that the exer-
cises will be public and that all visit-
ors who present themselves will be
cordially welcomed.
Mrs. R. C. Fortner and Miss Naomi
Custer returned Thursday from Bowie,
where they were in attendance at the
annual meeting of the McKinney Dis-
trict of the Woman's Missionary
Union, comprising the five counties,
of Collin, Denton, Grayson, Montague
and Cooke. Mrs. Fortner was re-elect-
ed president of the District and Miss
Custer was re-elected corresponding
secretary and treasurer. A motion that
the District defray tho expenses of
the President, Mrs. Fortner, to the
Southern Baptist Convention to con-
vene in Jacksonville, Fla. was uani-
mously carried.
Oh, ye, of little faith! George B.
Terrell, State Commissioner of Agri-
culture, issues a bulletin entitled:
"How to raise the price of cotton and
make farming pay." If anybody thinks
Mr. Terrell knows how to do that,
please stand on his head and buy cot-
ton at present prices for future deliv-
ery after the price has been raised,
and get rich.—1*1:1110 Star-Courier.
Merritt Braswell
Is Track Sensation
Frisco.
(Paris Morning News.)
Denison and Deport are almost
neck and neck for the M01 ning News
cup typifying the school which is ac-
corded the greatest honor in the dis-
trict interscholastlc meet. When the
Denison debaters were returned win-
ners last night at the high school it
gave their school a total of 51 1-2
points; Deport has 51.
Decision has not been made in the
essay writing—and upon that will de-
pend the award of the handsome cup
and the honors which go with it.
The rules provide that no school
is entitled to this honor unless it has
entries in both the literary and the
athletic events. Both Deport and
Denison qualified ns to that. In ath-
letics Deport (class B) had 49 points
and Denison (class A) had 16 3-4
points. The literary contests yielded
Deport only 3 points but Denison
"cleaned up" in that division, gaining
35 points in the declamation and de-
bates.
Paris high was leader in the ath-
letic events having garnered 29
points to 28 for Sherman; but was not
entered in any of the literary events,
having been eliminated in the county
contest.
♦ ♦ ♦
Iirnxwell's Record.
Braswell of McKinney has prob-
ably set a new State record for the
440 yard run. The previous record
was 52 4-5; and he made it in 52 flat
However, he made it on a circular in-
stead of a straightaway; and this may
have something to do with allowance
of the claim.
Dfjport was far ahead of all com-
petitors in athletics in class B. They
scored 48 while Ravenna the second
school, had a total of only IS to its
credit. Reese was largely responsible
for this great showing for he achiev-
ed 23 out of a possible 25 points in
the events for which he was entered.
Reest; is a remarkable athlete and
with proper training he will shine as
one of the college stars in the days to
come.
