Gasoline bottle explosion at Farley grocery spares injuries
An explosion from a quart bottle of gasoline at the Farley grocery caused a small fire and excitement at 5 p m Wednesday. Jere Riddle stood by the stove with the bottle when it cracked and the bottom dropped, spilling gasoline and igniting flames that scorched trousers. Mrs. Sarah Kilgore likely saved Riddle by smothering the flames with her glove. Boxes of washing powders near the stove caught fire but fire crews arrived and clerks contained the blaze shortly after the alarm.

Poison Ivy: A Texas pest and control methods
Extension expert G. O. Hottman warns poison ivy is widespread in Texas and dangerous to humans and pets. The plant has three common leaflets, with other varieties resembling poison oak. Best control comes from spraying herbicides such as ammonium sulfate, aminotriazole, and 2 4 5-T rather than hand removal.
