and'oi similar design,-are now under construction." Combined''cost'will "be" about ’$235,000.’ A school im-
provement program, made possible by a recent bond issue of $325,000, will include, besides these two struc-
tures, a grade school, a school for negroes and repair of present buildings. Plans for the two junior high
school buildings were drawn by Bryan & Sharp, Dallas architects, and the general contract is held by Camp-

TRUTH GEMS—TO THINK ABOUT
The country is in a sad state of affairs when a district judge
feels it his duty to go from coupty seat to county seat in his dis-
trict and deliver to an invited audience in each place an address,
such as was delivered last Morfday morning in the district court
room of the Hays county court house by Judge Jeffrey. He cited
statistics to impress upon his hearers the magnitude of the crime
vdave that is sweeping this country. The Judge’s main plea was in
behalf of the younger people of our state. He said: “I’m getting
tired of seeding young men under the age of 20 years to the peni-
tentiary;” and he implored school teachers, ministers, newspaper
men, and Boy Scouts, as well as parents, themselves, to help use
their influence to remedy matters. A striking statement of his was
to the effect that there are more young men under the age of 25
years in the penitentiaries of the United States than there are meh
under the age of 25 years in the universities of the United States.
Here are a few suggestions we offer that might help suppress the
crime wave amongst the young folks of America:
More family reunions and fewer house parties.
More fishing poles and fewer saxophones.
More prayer meetings and fewer bridge parties.
More old fashion brass bands and fewer jazz orchestras.
More baseball bats and fewer pocket flasks.
More refined music and less low-brow stuff.
More Sunday school picnics and fewer public dances.
More rigid law enforcement and less quibbling in the courts.
More electrocutions and fewer sanity trials.
More living at home and less chasjng around.
More respect for our laws and less criticism of them.

Starrville, March 4.— Mrs. L. A.
Chapman was hostess to the Starr-
ville W. H. D. club Friday after-
noon. Each member when answering
the roll call told the number of
standard bred eggs she intended to
set this year. The president read a
letter from Miss Shultz which
stressed the importance of each
member’s keeping a Written account
of all daily work done in the month
and turning it in to the secretary at
the end of the month. Miss Shultz
in the letter also emphasized the im-
portance of each member’s planting
as great a variety of vegetables as
possible.
A round table discussion was held
of plans for a community exhibit for
the East Texas Fair this fall. Sug-
gestion was made that a row of
each farm product to be exhibited be
planted so as to have the exhibit
ready for the fair. Mrs. H. F. King
Mrs. Walter Johnson and Mrs. Ir-
vin Hood were appointed as a stand-
ing committee to make reports to
the club on the progress of this pro-
ject.
In accordance with the decision
made at the last meeting, a flock
of hens was brought to the meeting
which, when sold, brought $10.98. A
good friend of the club has donat-
ed $50.00, and this brings the total
to $62.98. This amount will make a
nice addition to the club house fund.
At the next meeting all the mem-
bers who can are to carry one dozen
eggs to be sold and the proceeds to
go to the fund. The club expresses
in this way their thanks to Mr. L.
A. Chapman for selling the hens,
Starrville club extends their ap-
preciation to all advertisers in the
new Year Book and to everyone who
in any way helped to make the book
possible.
Cake and peaches with whipped
cream were served by the hostess at
the close of the meeting. Eighteen
members and one visitor were pres-
ent. The next meeting will be with
Mrs. John Clinjcscales on Friday,
March 14.
that had extended 'over several
months. He was born Jan. 8, 1864,
at the old1 Choice home near Kil-
gore. He was the second so# of Rev.
Tully Choice, a pioneer Baptist
preacher of East Texas whose labors
are yet bearing rich fruitage as a
factor in the Christian civilization of
our land — and whose wbrthy ex-
ample and precepts were ever a bea-
con light and inspiration to the son,
now gone to join noble parents in a
better land.
.John Choice received his educa-
tion at old Alexander Institute at
Kilgore (now known as Lon Morris
College of Jacksonville) under the
tuition of Dr. Isaac Alexander, an-
other great character among the
pioneer educators and builders of the
permanent and enduring things of
religion and charcter in our great
commonwealth. He majored in civil
engineering and did practical work
in surveying with his father.
At the age of twenty, John Choice
united with the Baptist church at
Mt. Sylvan, near the family home.
In timb he moved to Kilgore where
he assisted in the organization of the
Baptist church. He was a charter
member and served as church clerk
till recently.
On Jan. 25r 1888, deceased was
united in marriage to Miss Carrie
Clinkscales of Starrville. To this
union seven children were born,
three of whom preceded him in
death.
Surviving him are his widow, a
daughter, Ruth, and two sons, Frank
and Earl Choice of Kilgore, and a
son, Harry Choice of Palestine. A
brother, J. E. Choice of Kilgore,
and a sister, Mrs. Henry Lawrence
of Dallas, also survive him.
John Choice served for many
years as County Surveyor of Gregg
county. His life was clean and up
Tom McDougal, former Tyler boy
now helping his dad, Sir Arch Mc-
Dougal, put over the big agricultur-
al and home-interest features of the
Bonham Favorite, is one of the visi-
tors to the East Texas Show who
chose to remain for a spell. Wheth-
er Tom is remaining to see his
Sweetie, or merely to visit his chums
of yesteryears, deponent sayeth not.
But Tom McDougal majored in hor-
ticulture, forestry and kindred lines
in his A. & M. College days—and we
consider him an authority on the ag-
ricultural and orchard status con-
fronting us of this section since the
sub-zero weather of January.
Mr. McDougal examined many or-
chards in this vicinity during his
stay here. Said he, when requested
for an expression of opinion as to
whether the fruit crop is killed or
not:
“Orchards are like people —those
that are well cared for and healthy,
particularly the younger orchards,
Have~'a greater resisting power. “My4
examinations in many orchards
around Tyler indicate that some are
in much better condition physically
(as well as culturally) than others.
I think that even within this county
and this immediate vicinity a gener-
al average of condition can not be
stated. I found some orchards that
show live, promising fruit buds;
some of them yet giving promise of
holding as many buds as the trees
can mature properly. Other orchards
appear not to have a live fruit bud.
found in some orchards, even
among the most thrifty of them,
young as well as old, that there
are many trees otherwise healthy
that are bursted and cracked.”
Asked *if he considered it safe to
say that the fruit crop of this area
is entirely killed, Mr. McDougal said
“I would not say that just yet, or
without further observation. There
will be some fruit, I believe; and
there will be some disappointments
among those depending on orchards
for big profits this year. However,
I would advise every orchard own-
er to take good care of his orchard.
If it is “sick” good care of it this
year will bring it back to health
and vigor just as proper care will
restore health to a sick person or a
sick farm animal. Whatever the sta-
tus may prove to be, the orchards
of this section are not in worse con-
dition than they have been during
many years within the past two dec-
ades—and if the orchards are given
a square deal in care and cultivation
by their owners this year, I am sure
that Smith county and East Texas
will maintain their primacy as the
fruit section of Texas.” ’ :

When, oh when, will those send-
ing news items to the papers for
publication learn that it is an invar-
iable rule, of editors that communi-
cations must be signed. The name
signed is not for publication, neces-
sarily — but to protect the Editor.
Somebody has to be responsible for
statements made in the paper, and
even with that, many errors of
names, and of facts get into papers.
This week, for example, some
good friend sends us some interest-
lng personal items from Pine
Springs. No name is signed, either
on communication or on envelope. In
absence of any name we thought to
verify the personals by phone but
could not. Sign name—sign name —
