College Station, June 18.—
The widespread drouth calls
sharp attention to two impor-
tant and often overlooked fea-
tures of the Agricultural Ad-
justment Act, it is pointed out
by Extension Service officials at
Texas A. and II College. The
contracts provide crop insur-
ance prov3iions in that the
farmer is paid benefits on the
basis of past production rather
than on what he actually pro-
duces this year.
Tn the second place, the
word “adjustment".means just
that and not always “reduc-
tion." It happens that curtail-
ment of farm production has
been sorely needed for several
years if prices were to be
brought up to something like
fair exchange value. This does
not mean that reduction will
always he needed, and at pres-
ent with drouth afflicting the
nation, adjustments are being
made in contract rulings to
permit farmers to use contract-
ed acres in s more liberal way
than was contemplated origi-
nally. Adjustments may be
made either up or down un-
der the AAA, but always with
a view to attaining the best
prices and the greatest wel-
fare of the mass of farmers.

IT BIPTIST GHIHLEH WITH
LARGE GHOWDSITTENDING
Evangelist McCall Declares
“The Devil is Largest and
Greatest Employer in All the
World.”
Evangelist McCall arrived
from Dallas Sunday morning in
time for the 11 o’clock service.
His subject at the morning
hour was: ‘‘Church Freezers
and Heaters,” a special mes-
sage to'Christians. The Evan-
gelist declared that to grow a
church we must have the right
atmosphere, a spiritual atmos-
phere. The freezers in the
churches were described as
those who are cold, indifferent,
worldly and selfish. They are
living in sin, declared the
preacher. They have no faith
and many of them are lovers of
money, and devote their whole
time to making money. He
compared such church mem-
bers to the Mojave Desert
which has never produced any-
thing. The heaters in the
churches were pictured by the
Evangelist as the live, wide
awake, consecrated Christians
who are always on the job.
The heaters were compared to
the fine productive soil on
the Pacific Coast whieh can
grow anything from Red
Geraniums to large red wood
trees. Such Christians are
prayers and workers, and their
Uvea are motivated by love, de-
clared Dr. McCall, and the re-
sult is strongs stalwart Chris-
tian characters.
At the evening service. Dr.
McCall spoke on “The Largest
Employer in the Vorid.” The
largest employer is not the
American Steel Corporation or
Henry Ford, but the Devil is
the largest and greatest em-
ployer in all the world, de-
clared the Evangelist He has
the largest number of people
on his pay roll ai d he pays
wages, for the “Wages of sin
is death.” The wages are not
paid here on earth. Justice is
out of balance here. Of course,
declared the preacher, men
and women do reap a partial
payment here, but the full pay-
ment is hereafter, for “Be not
deceived, God is not mocked,
whatsoever a man soweth that
shall he also reap,” but the
reaping is in the next life, “af-
ter death comes the judg-
ment.” The wages of sin is

Spending Money
Too Freely
—this almost invariable happens to those who
do pot take advantage of banking services. It
is much more tempting, to spend -money un-
wisely when you do not deposit funds regular-
ly in a bank, and often times a small account
—growing regularly and systematically, has
often reached proportions to bring assurance
and confidence to the depositor.
This bank offers you all the advantages of
safe hanking—assured, through many years of
faithful service to this community.
Make this your bank,

Thirsty people in state build-

pages of listed supplies upon

Canny political tandidates
have learned to buy half-cent
stamps. -The half-cent stamp
can be used by combination to
fit any postage charge without
overpayment. In a Texas cam-

rapidly into the allowed legal
expenditure.' One candidate
has adopted a system of send-
ing daily post cards to a list of
