ROUND ABOUT TOWN Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 2:2. The hour of crisis never makes or unmakes us; that hour shows forth what is in McAfee. The parents of Tommy Beard, eleven years of age. are looking for him.

as he is off on a visit somewhere in Texas, and is unaware of the fact that a dog that bit him three days ago was rabid, Any who knows of Tommy's whereabouts is urged to get in touch with him, as he may get treatment. Collector of Internal Revenue W. Thomas today called attention to the fact that business and office managers of firms or corporations are not allowed to sign Treasury form SS-l, which accompanies payment of taxes under the Title VTTT of the Social Security Act. Only an owner, president, partner or firm member may sign that form, or one with a properly executed power of attorney. Treasury form SS-l must be submitted monthly accompanied by the employee-employer tax, which is one per cent of the wages paid and received.

Teachers and students who find occupation in camps and this summer come under the tax- Ing provisions of the Social Security Act and must pay their tax to the Collector of' Intemad Revenue in the district in which they are employed. Collector Thomas watt- ed. "Ordinarily, persons in the teaching, professions are exempt from participation in the tax, but when they engage in private industry their income from that source is taxable," Mr. Thomas explained. Mr.

and Mrs. George Fritz and two sons, John and Charles, of Wjath- erford, were guests of Denton friends and relatives Sunday. The Fritz family moved from Denton about one year ago, after haing lived here for a good many years. Mr. Fritz is in the'auto accessory business in Weatherford, but, of qourse, as he says, he sure to get back to Denton every once in a while.

Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Cobb will leave Wednesday for Midway, Kentucky, where they will be the guests of their daughter, Mrs.

Gretna Cobb Bedford. "I must get to a cooler climate, according to advice, of my doctor," he said, "and naturally it will be a pleasure to visit back in 1 Kentucky, where Mrs. Cobb and I have made nearly an annual visit for a long time."

Scattered- rains fell over Denton County Sunday afternoon and night and in some places stopjped threshing. Between Denton 'and Aubrey a very nice shower fell, but at Pilot' Point, like Denton, only a few drops fell. It is also heard that West of the Santae Fe, in spots, good rains came.

Monday morning heavy clouds formed, but a strong North wind soon dispelled the chance for a rain. The moon-man, Joe Akins, says that we'll be having a rain prior to July 1, however, he does not, base his calculation on the moon, since he says it's too late now for him to see it. A good many Denton people have suffered in recent days from a form of colitis, regular old "tummy-ache" to Roundabout, as he sure had a fine case of it Saturday and Sunday. Dr. Finer, City Health Officer, says that it is not local as cases are being reported all over the State.

Some one intimated that, it might be Denton water, but Dr. Finer heartily refutes the idea. Jim Grady and Frank Hodges, evidently getting ready to make application to the shadyside club, were comfortably seated in the shade. Rev. W.

Fred Galbraith, coming by, said that he believed Jim and Frank had all the qualifications, whatever they are. Mr. and Mrs. R. T.

Slaughter Sunday attended a family reunion of the Nellin, Dulaney and Thornton families in Bonham. "There were more than 200 of the in-laws at the family gathering, many coming from distant parts of the State," Mr. Slaughter said. The regular monthly meeting of the Directors of the Chamber of Commerce will be held this Monday night at the Municipal Building at 7:3 o'clock. "It -will be a different kind of meeting." Manager Fowler said, "as well serve some very nice refreshments, and we hope for a big attendance of the directors." Another insurance man arrived in Denton Monday morning at an early hour, when a son.

Frank was born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hulse. "You know that boy was trying to sell me insurance the very first thing," said Frank, rnornJng. all-pepped up, The mother Is doing as is the son," ne said.

County Farmers Launching Fight on Pest Invasion Denton County farmers are launching war on destructive crop pests, particularly-on.

grasshoppers and hoppers, County'Agent G. R. Warren said Monday. Grasshoppers, now appearing over the county in considerable numbers, constitute the chief menace to cotton and other Denton crops, and poisoning the insects is being carried on generally over the county. Flea hoppers, though reported in several isolated instances, are not reported generally, Warren said.

Some plans to dust cotton to eliminate that insect are heard, however. Warren reminded farmers, again that printed directions for grasshopper control, outlining in. detail the method of poisoning, are available at his office to any farmer and urged that they do not delay in fighting to control the insects. Crop Growth Good Aside from the insect damage that is apparently growing, reports are of Denton County crop in good condition. Cotton is attaining good growth, no serious damage to crops from lack of rain has been reported to Warren, and grain growers probably will see the major part of threshing completed this week, the county agent said.

Treaty of Versailles, 18 Years Old Monday, Virtually Dead Letter PARIS. June Treaty of Versailles, almost completely a dead letter because of German nullification, was 18 years old today. The anniversary of the world war document that carved new Eu-. ropean political boundaries found all but territorial provisions and clauses creating the League of Nations now in abeyance. Though steady German blows have hacked away much of the treaty, signed in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles June 28.1919, Germany is still separted from 1,303,879 square miles of territory she once rules and 17,000,000 former subjects.

The treaty's military provisions, designed to strip Germany forever of her great war machine, inspired Hitler to some of his most dramatic strokes in restoring the reich to a powerful mlitary position. Hitler reconstituted the German air. force, raised, army, and built a navy. He remilitarized the Rhineland in defiance of the treaty, resumed control of Germap waterways, and rearmed positions, such as the North Seas island of Heligoland, which the treaty forbade. Other dead sections of the treaty include: War reparations, twice scaled down, were discontinued in 1931 after President Herbert Hoover declared a debt moratorium.

Disarmament never took place. Guarantees of treaty enforcement all lapsed after the allied powers. withdrew from occupied German territory. Punishment of Kaiser Wilhelm never occurred since the Netherlands, where he took refuge, refused to extradite him. Still in existence is the League of Nations, created by the treaty's preamble, though its international prestide has been lowered.

The treaty's wonomic were fulfUJed-. for most oert Car Plunges Over Lake Causeway But Trio Not Injured Three had a narrow escape from death or serious Injury Sunday night when the truck in which they- were riding plunged off the Lake Dallas causeway just west of the dam. careened down the 40-foot embankment a.nd rammed into a farm house near the foot ol the incline. Blinding headlights of an ap- proaching car caused his truck to strike the row of guard posts at the side of the causeway road and get out of control, the driver, Allen Whiteside, told ambulance attendants. Whiteside received a painful but not serious, gash -on his nose.

His two companions, whose names were not learned, were unhurt. The ambulance driver, who was summoned, from Denton, gave Whiteside emergency ment at the farm house, but the man did not have to be brought to Denton for medical aid. YOUNGSTOWN, June (fly-Fresh fears of vilence shook the strike Iront today, this time in' Indiana. Troops were requested at'East Chicago.
