Open violation of state liquor
laws was deplored by the Texas
synod of the Presbyterian
Church, U. S. A., at its meet-
ing in Texarkana. In a resolu-
tion passed by the synod it
urged county law enforcement
officers to take necessary steps
to stamp out the illegal traffic
and to request district judges
to charge their grand juries to
make diligent inquiries into the
liquor trade.
The synod also passed a re-
solution approving the I>egion
of Decency campaign for clean-
er msving pictures.

Second rental payments on
36,000 acres of cotton land are
expected to be made in a few
weeks in Red River county, and
along with the rental will come
parity payments, according to
the Clarksville Times. There
will be a disbursement of Fed-
eral funds totaling approxi-
mately $150,000 involved. This
will be the last large payment
in 1934 and will be made to
other counties as well.
The new money is expected
to cause fall trade to be reviv-
ed and1 prolonged. Many farm-
ers have settled obligations in-
curred in making the 1934 crop
and will have these funds
purchase winter supplies.
Tom Robeen, 60 and his wife
of Paris, and Hollis Martin, 18,

Requests for tax exempt
certificates equivalent to 638,-
.260 bales of cotton have been

Mrs. Roy Dunagan of Paris,
on Saturday was certified by
the Lamar County Democratic
Executive Committee as nom-
inee for Commissioner Precinct
2. The action came as a result
of a mandate from the Court of
Civil Appeals at Texarkana,
which reversed decision of the
6th District Court at Paris.
Mrs. Dunagian was declared
nominated after voters wrote
her name on the ticket, but the
district court deciding on the
contest, entered by her oppon-
ent, J. Frank Jones, ruled the
action illegal. Appeal to the
higher court brought reversal
and certification as the
fnee.
Lamar county exhibit at the
Texas State Fair in Dallas was
ranked eleventh, according to
announcement Tuesday. The
Lamar showing was considered
good in spite of the drouth
which blighted farm products
in practically every part of the
county.
Martin WHD Club held its
annual achievement day Wed-
nesday at the home of Mrs.
Clint Hensley, pantry demon-
strator. Exhibits of a well bal-
anced meal, pantry display,
gift table, quilt display and
forty varieties of vegetables
were shown.
At the close of the business
session refreshments were serv-
ed to Miss Beulah Blackwell,

visitors, Misses Dollie Hensley
and Maydell Johnson; a new’

render of surplus certificates to
the national pool.
Texas, with a surplus of cer-
tificates to cover 892,000 bales
has only surrendered 100,000,
and to hasten sale of exempt-
tions and an early closing of
the national pool, the remaind-
er must be turned1 in as rapid-
ly as possible. The surrender
is made through the county
agent or assistant, and Nov. 10
has been set as the dead line
for turning them to the nation-
al pool.
Pool managers expect to pay
$20 per bale for certificates
sold and return those unmar-
keted for use in 1935.
Letters from those working
on the PWA loan needed to
build a water system at Detroit
as published in the News-Her-
ald, state that the project has
been approved by the engineer-
ing and finance department but
turned down by the legal sec-
tion.
Opinion of the engineer who
assisted in preparing the re-
quest is that Detroit must be-
come incorporated or vote gen-
eral obligation bonds to satisfy
the legal divirion. i
Listed' as applicants for re-
habilitation under the govern-
ment program are forty-two
houses in Lamar and Delta
counties. Of the number thir-
ty-seven are in Lamar county.
In Lamar county twenty-six
projects have been approved,
nineteen are under repair and
seven completed.
Families are moving into
houses as rapidly as they are
completed. Seven bids totaling
$2,900 were let Monday and
three others totaling about $500
are under consideration.
Rural rehabilitation organiz-
ers in Red River county have
signed contracts with approxi-
mately 150 owners for the re-
pair of houses under the gov-
ernment plan. Bids will be ac-
cepted and work completed
rapidly as possible.

Growers with surplus Bank-
head tax exemptions are urged
to pool them at once. A heavy
demand is reported now on in
the eastern section of the cot-
ton belt where farmers are
anxious to dispose of over-
quota production. Reports are
that unless they are able to se-
cure exemptions at an early
date they will sell the cotton
and pay the 50 per cent tax.
Certificates cannot Ire trans-
ferred across county or state
lines and unless a home coun-
ty market is found they must
be placed in the National Pool
for selling.
Paul Glenn, negro who sev-
eral months ago shot at Con-
stable Troy Bussell with a rifle,
Friday was given a three year
sentence in the penitentiary for

The shooting occurred at the

creek, when Bussell attempted
to arrest the negro who had
threatened a Shady Grove resi-
dent. Bussell returned his fire
and he attempted to escape, but
men working in the field per-
suaded him to surrender.

Approximately an inch of
rain fell Saturday night and
Sunday over the Deport terri-
tory, providing much needed
moisture for gardens and fall
grain. Clearing skies Sunday
lelf't farmers still without stock
water, as moisture was soaked
up as it fell and pools remain
dry.
Rains of from one to two] requested to speed up the sur-
inches have broken the drouth,
but in each instance precipita-
tion has been followed by weeks
of dry weather. The great need
is for a rain of four or five
inches, falling over a period of
24 hours or more.--i——
Rainfall for the first nine
months of 1934 has been four
inches below normal, 26 inches
falling compared with a normal
of 30. A few parts of Texas
have received normal rainfall,
but most counties need heavy
rains to soak subsoil and pro-
vide moisture for 1935 crops.
There is also the problem
providing stock water.

ernment cotton statistician for

Texas farmers numbering
496,000 participating in farm
product adjustment's received
an average of $121 each* in
benefit payments during the
last twelve months, approxi-
mately three times as much as
the average paid for the entire
United States. A total of $59,-
818,355.07 had been received
by the Texas farmers to Aug.
31, 1934, almost exactly a year
after the first Federal checks
were mailed out.
Texas farmers have received
the third largest per capita
amount, ranking below North
Dakota ($134 per farmer) and
Kansas ($126 per farmer). The
average payment per farmer is
$46.90.
In addition Texas farmers
are due about $34,163,000 niore
on AAA programs, most of
which will be received prior to
Jan. 1, according to present
schedules of payments. This
will amount to about $69 per
farmer to make a total average
of $190 per farm family in this
state.
Popularity of the government
12 cent loan on cotton continues
with growers as 1550 bales re-
presenting $108,500 were stor-
ed at the local platform as se-
curity for loans up to Wednes-
day night. The loan value
averages approximately $70 per
bale, authorities say.
Of the $108,500 total, $47,-
600 have been borrowed by
growers during the six business
days since Wednesday of last
week. This average of nearly
$8,000 per day has been paid
immediately through Deport
lending agencies who are handl-
