News-Globe. The Kerners first reputatlon came as the finder of lost dogs. He is credited with having returned more vagrant puppies to their boy-own-ers than any person in Texas. Whether it was a cook-stove wanted for a hungry family, a Job for the stiicken cattleman, or customers for a church bazaar— if the thing was worthy. Tack was out to get it. He became the friend of the coinmou man. Lindbergh came and went, and with Colonel went the name of the •‘Kernel” through the United States. In the midst of idolization by a nation, the Tactless Texan had dared to critizlve the aviator. It started when the city fathers telegraphed Lindbergh to stop over on a flight to the West coast. Speeches of welcome and a parade to lie headed by the high school baud were prepared. Ihe wire was not not answered. In < lovls, N. 51, neighboring town across the parlrie, twenty thousand people left thefr businesses and ranches to see the prince of aviators on announcnient he would stop there. The holiday became a Joke. Lindbergh explained later he didn't know Clovis was on liis route. Idol Smashing Soon after, Lindbergh landed at the Amarillo airport without announcing his arrival. A few little boys flock out to greet him They said he “was not a lilt nice." One or two of them cried. Tack heard about it.

the name was not proper. Tack issued, his ultimatum: let It be Muleshoe. Loses Some, Gains Mors Not so many persons read about the Muleshoe Incident in the "Tackless Texan” column. Tack had lost 700 subscribers after the Mary Burden incident. More threatened to caucel their subscriptions. Instead, more ordered the paper. Tact now claims the largest circulation of any paper in any city Amarillo's size. He has 30,000 subscribers and Amarillo has 40,000 citizens. Tact recently had. his 43rd birthday. He hinted for "old-fashioned caramel cake, the kind he liked the best, and got the least.” His office was stacked with. So was the children's home.

HONORS FOR JOAN D’ARC Orleans, France, Muy 9 (UP) —Five hundred years ago, on May 8, 1429 a gallant shepherdess, Joan d'Arc, at the hed of a nondescript army of peasants and soldiers obliged the English to lift the selge of Orleans, and today all France will pay tribute to the memory of the little girl who nine years ago was canonized a saint. * Orleans has kept the maid's memory alive through five centuries with annual ceremonies to observe its deliverance, but none has ever had Hie eclat which will he given today's official ceremony. For more than four ceiiluries, Joan has been venerated in

Orleans and by peasants within leagues of that old city but this Is the first time that the entire nation Joins in the celebration. In Paris the maid's statue in the rue de Rivoli, a rather gaudy gilded replica of the girl on horseback, is hidden under flowers. In Demremy, where she was born In 1412 In a house which still stands, thousands of pilgrims have gathered to pray at her birthplace... The French Government has made a national fete of Joan's day of glory and the church, which long ago made her a patron stint for children, has ordered special masses read In 8,800 churches in France. French historians have completed histories of every phase of Jolan's life, and it is now possible to account for every minute of her time from the days she tended sheep n the wooded hills of Bois Chesnu until she died a victim of British vengeance on a pyre

at Rouen. It was In the winter of 1428 that she received the call to aid her King, Chailes VII, hearing the vojees of three saints, Michael, Catherine and Marguerite The following March Charles consented to hand over a few soldiers, and in rapid order she obliged the English to quit their selge ot Orleans, beat them at I’atny and saw Charles consecrated at Rheiins.. French army records were turned over to find that the army which the King gave her numbered six men, to whom were added hundreds of peasants. There are still relatives of Joan living in Erance and during the past year have been going over the claims of thousands of persons who contend to b e related to the saint through her brothers.' The number lias been reduced to 50, whose claims have been admitted and they will be honor gdests 1 at today's celebration here.
