announce the following candidates
subject to the action of the Demo-
cratic primaries in July:
For Representative, 14th District
A. W. ROARK, Jr.
Don’t you spend a good deal of fhe current
money for some kinds of personal
comforts and go without others of
more importance?
The most satisfactory glasses
you can get—if your vision is de-
fective—will give you more com-
fort in proportion to their cost
than anything else you can buy.
Moreover, it will not be a fleeting
pleasure, but a lasting comfort—, total base-period cotton acreage,
day after day—year in, year out.
Always consult an eye sight
specialist.

visited her daughter, Mrs. R. H.
Fuller, Jr. last week.
Mrs. R. H. Fuller, Sr. returned

atives in High Island, Monday.
Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Blythe
of Refugio are visiting their par-
ents here.
Mr. and Mrs. Pat Nowling and
Mrs. Woods of Silsbee attended
the services at the local church

Rev. Ellis Cook, pastor, and

one is invited to attend.
Miss Clyde Brackin visited here
last week.
Mr. Milton Knupple of -Beau-
mont spent the week-end at the

Mr. J. D. Walton was a busi-

This is in addition to return fronv
sales of the cotton he produces,
and regardless of any partial or
complete failure which might
strike that crop. Total adjustment
payments for 1934 under cotton
contracts will approximate $120,-
000.000. This represents a defip**
ite form of crop insurance for the
farmers who are cooperating with
the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
ministration.
By W. P. Barrett, County Agent
The cotton crop of the South
shares the same general hazards
of production which face the basic
crops of more northern states.
Drouth, flood, hail, frost, and in-
sect infestations are ?rop-destroy-
ing factors.
There is no single area in the
Cotton Belt that does not lose
through one or more of these haz-
ards in a given period. Certain
areas suffer to some extent prac-
tically every year. Cotton farmers
may not be faced this year with
the serious drought which has v:s-
ited the North-Central sections bl
the country, but the individual cot-
ton producer runs the same gen-
eral risk with his crop and has the
same need for income insurance
when his crop fails.
This insurance is offered to the
grower who has signed a 1934-35
cotton adjustment contract. Un-
der this contract, he rents from
35 to 45 percent of his average
annual cotton acreage during the
base period to the Secretary of
Agriculture, at the rate of 3 1-2
cents per pound for the cotton
that he would have produced on
his acreage in an average year.
In addition, receives a parity pay-
ment of one cent a pound on the
domestic allotment of cotton for
his farm, which is 40 percent of
his average production during the
5 year base period.
The rental and parity payments
are based on past production and
are not reduced by any failure in
crop.
Average production in the Cot-
ton Belt during the 5 year period
used as a base, is 174 pounds per
acre. The rental and parity pay-
ments for the retired acres will
approximate $7.83 an acre aver-
age, throughout the cotton obit.
This substantial acreage return
guaranteed to the average coop-
erating cotton farmer for 1934
on from 35 to 45 per cent of his-
( Nearly everyone has heard of
the seven wonders fo the world,
but probably few could name them
and fewer could tell what became
of them. Those interested in such
things might clip this out for their
scrap book.
The seven wonders of the world
were so named by Antipater, a
writer of Palestine, about 200 B.
C., as follows:
The Hanging Gardens of Baby-
lon, destroyed in 484 B. C., more
than 100 years before they were
listed among the wonders.
The Temple of Diana at Ephe-
sus, burned in 262 A. D.
The Statue of Zeus at Olympus,
destroyed in 408.
The Colossus of Rhodes, sold for
junk in 653.
The Lighthouse of Pharos at
Alexandria, fell in an earthquake
in 1375.
The Mausoleum of Artemisia,
destroyed in 1402.
The Pyramid of Cheops, the only
one of the “Seven Wonders” still
in existence.
Such were the seven wonders of
the ancient world. Many lists of
modern wonders have been made,
but a recent writer selects not the
perishable works of man, but the
discoveries and inventions which
have revolutionized civilization.
He names the radio, the tele-
phone the airplane, antiseptics,
spectrum analysis and radium.
Whether his list is the best that
might be made or not, the wonders
mentioned will survive as long as
humanity exists, bestowing untold
benefits upon mankind.

rived in their home last Friday.
Both mother and baby are doing
fine.
Miss Ellas Mae Mitchell was a
business visitor in Silsbee Mon-
day.
Rev. Estell will hold services
Sunday June 17, in the arbor, just
north of the Loeb school. If any
one interested who has not yet vis-
ited this small Sunday School and
church just recently organized will
come out and attend they will cer-
tainly find a warm welcome and be
surprised in the fine work done by
this group. Everyone is welcome.
The condition of Mr. A. D. Hale

The Home Demonstration Club
of Votaw, met at the home of Mrs.
Nellie Dittling, Friday, June 8,
for a demonstration on pressure
canning and canning in water
bath.
The meeting was opened by our
President, Mrs. Hudson Bean with
twelve members present and one
visitor, Mrs. Alice Reed of Silsbee,
Texas.
We also had with us our Dem-
onstration Agent, Miss Fannie
Vannoy who instructed in canning
tomato juice, hot and cold method.
Miss Vannoy says, “that for
home use, the hot method is pref-
erable as the pulp will not rise
from the juice after being can-
ned.”
Miss Vannoy also gave us a
numbe'r of delicious recipes for
other ways of using tomatoes both
green and ripe.
The next meeting will be held
at the home of Mrs. Shirley Jus
tice, Friday, June 22nd, who will
lead, the discussion on “County
Officers” and their duties.
The members of this club with
the help of Miss Vannoy are doing
wonderful work and puttting forth
every effort to take care of the,
abundance of vegetables and to-
matoes that have been raised in
this little farming center. We
think one of the best in the
county.
