Dear John !•
If you read my
laid two letters, you have by
till* time found out a little
about the onion game ttint
‘they left out of the book,"
ho I ain aure you will go
easy on the water, and l>e
careful* of that ‘ Half the
tiros* Profit clause" in the
contract. But that "ain't"
all, I will now tell you about
the third crop we raised. To
begin with, after going
through anotlBcr hunt sum-
mer we had enough mouey
to buy the seed and get the
(riant:, set out, but we sure
had to strain our credit al
the grocery store* before the
crop was finished, and frljole
beau* was a regular dish
with us.
We had a pretty wet year
and didn't have to keeji the
pump running very much
ami lucky it was for us, or
we would never have made
the grade
The onions came off right
in the middle of May and
brought a pretty good price.
All Hu* way through we sold
’em for cash and after the
first car or two, were able
to vty for our crates as wc
got 'em. Altogether we
shiiHssi smite twenty odd
cats Unit year and our bank
account looked like a silver
mine when the deal was over
We paid up the (tracer, the
Blacksmith, tin* I motor and
nil tilt* rest of ’em and still
bad lots of money left, so him
and tin* girts took it iuto
their heads (o go on a trip,
so of course you and me went
along too. Our clothes and
shoes in town looked pretty
good to us up till now, hut
when we got tu the city they
kind of looked a little out ot
tune. So wc just all set in
and got a new hunch of togs
from A to 17.7, a id, and after
staying at the hotel for it few
days and taking in all the
shows, the girls decided wc
ought to have a car and go
on a tour of the West. After
lookiu around a bit wc
bought one of them big cars,
one of them “four miles to
the gallon" kind, and with
all ......... dollies, suit caa
es. hat boxes, ete , stacked >■<
we started with a big sign
‘‘Montana or Bust," hanging
on the back. We were gone
two, n\on|h.s, and the number
of (in's and amount Of tills
we hough! would break ui
ul<l John I>. himself. After
coining on down through the
state famous for it* flowers
and real estate agent*, we
limped across the desert on
the old board walk and Mart
cd for home: Got in a cou
pic of c sniash-ups before wc
got oher the divide, and
bhoso * brand new second
hand tire* we bought in La.
sure did give us trouble. Bui
we hobblnd along as bent we
cuold over the hard knox
trail to Texas and landed
back home tired aud busted
ou the last day of July.
Since then things ain't
gone so good. Folks kind of
lost confidence in us, I guess
and we never got no more
good breaks.
Yours truly.
Gad.

House Puiei Administra-
tion Farm Relief Bill After
Killing Amendment*.
■y EDWARD W. RICKARD
PARM relief legislation aa drafted
by the house committee on agri-
culture and approved by the Presi-
dent won out easily In the lower
house of congress after several days
of debate. Representative Cannon of
Missouri tried to get through an
equalization fee amendment, tint It
was ruled out on a point of order as
not germane, and all other attempts
to make changes In the Haugen bill
**were frustrated by the administration
fore©*. Mott of the amendments pro-
posed were from Southern Democrats.
Two attempts to Inject prohibition
Into the measure were made by Rep-
resentatives Black and La Guardia
of New York, but they were squelched.
Senators took up the debate on
their own fHrm hill, which as report-
ed contained the export debenture
feature. Senator McNary of Oregon,
chairman of the senate committee on
agriculture, told the senate that he
had withdrawn his support from the
debenture plan because he regarded
It as a subsidy and also because he
wished to support a bill which Presi-
dent Hoover is sure to slgu.
“I feel there is no doubt whatever,"
said Senator McNary, “that if a bill
carrying the deiienfure ptau were sent
to the White House it would he dis-
approved by President Hoover."
Senator McNary conceded that the
debenture plan, which provides an ex-
port bounty on farm products through
certificates redeemable in the pay-
ment of Import duties, would lie ef-
fective In boosting prices.
In a letter to Mr. McNary the Pres-
ident had given at length his reasons
for opposing the export debenture
scheme, concluding by saying: "It Is
ni.v belief that tile theoretical benefits
would noi be reflected to the Ameri-
can farmer: that It would create
profiteering: that it contains elements
which would bring American agricul-
ture to disaster. The introduction o^
sucli a plan would also Inevitably
confuse and minimize the much more
far-reaching plan of farm relief, upon
the fundamental principles of which
there has been general agreement."
LT ALP-HEARTED efforts were mad*
* * by the commission on German
reparations to find a compromise that
all might accept, hut the new ofTer
brought from Berlin by Doctor
Schacht was not sufficient. The
French and tyelgfan* were firm la
their determination to make no fur-
ther reductions, ♦te Anisehsss *S-
peris tried eprscstl.v to save the no»-
ference from utter failure, and :r.e»c
was a lingering hope that tidy tulvbt
be accomplished If I he Germans would
again revise their offer.
ILLINOIS wets just barely won a
*■ victory In the state legislature
when ihe bill calling for a referendum
upon repeal of the state prohibition
laws was passed by the house with-
out a vote to spare. The measure
was handed up to the senate, where
the drys believed It would be defeated
and the wets were none too optimistic
of success.
Senator Cole Blease of South Caro-
lina Introducod In the senate a reso
lutlon proposing to prohibit the lta-
portntlon of liquor by foreign diplo-
mats and providing for the expulsion
of envoys who decline to accept our
dty laws as binding upon themselves.

*■ Dominican
American commission In the
republic headed by
Charles G. Dawes lias completed its
work and recommends the passage of
a budget law and the appointment of
n budget director similar to the office
in the United States. It advised im-
provements in the organization of the
executive and Interior departments
and the accounting system, and urged
stringent economy. The commission
states that the general economic ami
financial condition of the country is
Inherently sound. The total Indebt-
edness of the republic, foreign and
domestic Including $802,000 owed by
08 municipalities, is estimated at $22,-
650,000.

STABLE OF ZAVALA COUNTY,
GREETING: You are hereby cou-
inunded to summon Ix*on H e n-
derson, whose residence is uu-
You are commanded to summon Le-
on I lender-sop, whose residence is un-
known, to appear at the next regular
term of the Justice Court of Precinct
No. 3 of Zavala County, Texas, to be
hold at Crystal City, Texas,
3rd. day of June 1929, then and there
to answer a petition filed in said
Court on the 2ud day of March, 1929,
the file number of which is number
482, In which suit G. K. Trees is plain-
tiff and I«eon Henderson is defendant,
the cause of action being alleged as
follows:
Balance due to Plaintiff by defeud
unt for personal services in the
amount $150.00, as shown by verified
nceount on file in said cause.
You are commanded to summon
such defendant and to serve this clta
tlon by making publication of this ci
tution once in each week for four con-
secutive weeks, previous to the return

County, then In a newnpa|x*r published
TD UNNINO up to New York for a
couple of hours. President Hoov-
er made, before the Associated Press
at Its annual luncheon, his first public
address since his Inauguration. It
was an urgent appeal to the people
of the Uuited Stales for law observ-
ance and law enforcement, Ltfe aud
property, he declared, nre relatively
more unsafe In this country than in
any other civilized land, nnd he plead-
ed with the editors and the citizens
generally to aid the government in
changing this deplorable condition.
Reorganization of the law enforcing
machinery, he said, Is necessary. To
get this he proposed to take his time
In selecting “high-minded men, Impar-
tial in their judgment, skilled in the
science of law and our judicial sys-
tem" to "study and report upon the
whole of our problems involved In
criminal law enforcement.”
At the outset Mr. Hoover declared
that “while violations of laws have
been increased by the inclusion of
crimes under the Eighte"ith amend-
ment and by the vast sums that are
poured into the hands of the criminal
classes by the patronage of Illicit
liquor by otherwise responsible citi-
zens, yet tlds is but one segment of
our problem, for hut a small percent-
age of these can lie attributed to the
Eighteenth amendment."

One of the worst of recent aerial
disasters occurred at San Diego,
Calif., when Lieut. Howard Keefer In
an army pursuit plane while stunting
collided with a big passenger ship of
the Mnddux Air Lines, Inc., bound
for Phoenix and both planes crushed
to earth from a height of 2,000 feet.
Keefer, the two pilots of the passen-
ger plane and Its three passengers,
two of them women, were killed.

J. K. Peel, Justice of the Peace
Of Prsot, No. 3 /avals County, Tex,
pitOSPECTS for reduction of naval
* urmaments were brightened Im-
mensely when Ambassador Gibson,
American delegate on the League of
Nations’ preparatory disarmament
commission, frankly laid before that
ou the ^b<Mly ,he Hoover administration’s pro-
posuls. To the ustonlshed representa-
tives of the other nations he declared
America was prepared to agree to any
reductions, however drastic, of naval
tonnage which leaves uo type of wur
vessels unrestricted, nnd also was
ready to altandoa limitation of ton-
nage by categories and accept the
French compromise proposal as a
basis for discussion. He offered yet
another concession, stating that Amer-
ica would consider estimating “equiv-
alent naval values" on the basis of
other factors than the displacement
of tonnage alone, such as age, unit
displacement and the caliber of guns.
Any approach at the disarmament on
purely technical grounds, he declared,
was bound to be inconclusive.
French, Italian and Japanese dele-
gates chorused their welcome of the
American proposals, and though Lord
Cushendun was mighty careful In his
common* the London press quite gen-
erally praised them. The British cab-
inet met to consider the Gibson plan,
but it was believed nothing definite
would be done about It before the
Euglish elections which nre set for
May 30. After thm Austen Chamber-
lain may no longer be secretary for
foreign affairs nnd W. C, Bridgeman
will not be first lord of the ndmiralty.
The commission decided that a bnn
(£>uld he placed on the use of poison
gas and bacteria In warfare. En-
couraged by this action, Count, ron
Bemstorff for Germany proposed that
the dropping of bombs or Incendiary
gases from airplanes piloted either
