supervisor will receive his commls-
ment on November 13.
The work of the census will be se-
cure information regarding farm ten-
ure, acreage, value of land, the ac-
reage and yield of each principal field
crop and vegetable, number of trees
and yield of fruit and nut trees,
•number and value of livestock and
poultry, eggs, etc., and the popula-
tion engaged in farming occupations.
A similar census was taken in
Titus County ten years ago, from
which the Department of the Census
received some valuable information.
Data for use in the new farm plans
of the Department of Agriculture will
be secured as a result of this census,
which will employ about 25,000 peo-
ple throughout the Nation.

least five thousand head should be hition of the problem of an adequate

Already numbers of Titus County
people have taken advantage of the
Times Review’s half price offer, al-
though Thursday was the first day
of the campaign.
All this month, and until Christ-
mas, we will continue to offer to
residents of Titus and_ adjoining
counties only, a year’s subscription
for only 50 cents, and we expect
hundreds of citizens to avail them-
selves of this big bargain.
By reading the columns of the
Times Review the past year, the
farmers of Titus County have receiv-
ed information regarding Department
of Agriculture activities which have
repaid them many times for the sub-
scription price, and during the com-
ing year there will be a continuation
cf the Government’s farm program
which they cannot afford to miss.
This rate does not apply to new
subscriptions alone, but to old sub-
scribers, who can have their paper
renewed for another year for only
50 cents. There are only a few pa-
pers in the country making such a
liberal offer, and we are sure that
our subscribers will appreciate our
efforts to furnish you with the cur-
rent news of the county at this un-
usually low price.
If you are in arrears with your
subscription, we Will make special
inducements to bring your account
up to date so that you can take full
advantage of the half price offer.
For the accommodation of our cus-
tomers, we will forward your sub-
scription to the Dallas Semi-Weekly
News for 75c.
A small barn just, outside the city
limits, near Rogers & Traylor’s gin,
caught on fire Friday afternoon. The
fire truck went to the scene and pre-
vented much damage.
When an Eskimo dies, his body is
removed through a hole cut in the

It was announced at the Chamber
of Commerce meeting Monday night
that an intensive effort is being
made to secure a resumption of cat-
tle buying in Titus County as soon
as possible.
J. R. Hart, in company with rep-
resentatives from Red River, Hop-
kins, Camp and Franklin Counties, is
in College Station this week present-
ing data to O. B. Martin, head of
the Extension Service, whose recom-
mendation is necessary for the De-
partment of Agriculture to order the
resumption of buying.
The information which is being
presented shows that Titus County
is in more distress because of the
drouth than it was at the time the
buying of eattle was started by the
Government, and that unless the
cattle are disposed of in some way,
many of them will die soon after
frost, when what little green vege-
tation is killed.
The two-inch rain in September
stimulated growth in pastures, but
little rain has fallen since that time,
and the grass is beginning to die
again. Even switch cane in the bot-
toms has all dried up, and cattle

Titus County farmers will receive
their second rental and parity checks
within the next few days, according
to J. O. Graham, County Agent.
There were 160 other counties in
Texas which received their cotton
exemption certificates before Titus
County, and in less than sixty days
after the exemption certificates were
issued. Mr. Graham was notified that
the second payments would be re-
ceived at the local office within %
short while. Titus County will be
one of the first counties to receive
second installment payments from
the Department of Agriculture
Early returns on these pay-
ments is due to the efficiency of Mr.
Graham and his corps of assistants,
with the co-operation of farmers
themselves, which shows that they
are constantly on the job and using
their best efforts to prepare their
blanks in accordance with the De-
partment’s requirements. Mr. Gra-
ham has been County Agent here on-
ly a few months, but has shown his
ability in handling the duties of his
office in a marked manner.

and other phases of the numerous
activities of the Scout program.

Postmaster Spearman on Thurs-
day posted notices that bids will be
received and ’opened on Saturday,
November 10th for a comulete redec-
orating of the local post office.
The entire interior of the office
will be repainted in new colors, and
all of the woodwork will be redeco-
rated. The woodwork on the outside
of the building will also be repainted.
The Mt. Pleasant Federal' building
was completed in July, 1925, and the
outside woodwork has since been
painted over, but the interior has not
been given any repair work since its
construction, and it is beginning to
show a lack of paint and varnish,
which will be taken care of under the
order of the Post Office Department,
Work of redecorating must be com-
pleted in sixty calendar days after
it is started.

Following the cold snap of Satur-
day night, fire broke out in two,
dwellings Sunday morning as a re-
sult of building fires in unusde stoves
connected with bad flues.
The first fire occurred about nine
o’clock in the old Garner residence
just to the rear of the Church of
Christ, and occupied by the Warren
Franklin family and Mrs. Leia Floyd
and son, Millard. The roof of the
house was badly damaged by fire,
and the interior sustai»?®%4!onsider-
8ble water damage. Son1 S of the
furniture was removed from the
burning structure, but was returned
without being ruined.
The second alarm occurred about
two hours later, when the home of
Roy Miller on West Seventh Street
was discovered to be on fire. Prac-
tically all of the roof of this struc-
ture, which is owned by W. O. Keith
of Cookville, was burned away, and
water ruined all of the paper in the
building. A ceiling gave way with
two of the fire boys who were en-
gaged in extinguishing the flames
and they fell to the floor, but were
not hurt. Loss on the building was
partially covered by insurance.
The fire truck was called about
noon to put out a small fire burning
in a dead limb of a tree at the C.
O. Lide place, to stop flying sparks,
which were endangering property in
that vicinity.

Education For
Adults Will Be
New Project Here
County Administrator E. M. Cook ■
announces that as a part of the emer- i
gency education program for the '
State, projects have been approved I
in Titus County for the forming of (
three classes in general adult edu- |
cation and one in home economics, i
and it is expected that additional
classes will be formed shortly.
These classes will be under the
supervision of County Superintendent
Smith and City Superintendent Wal-
lace. The classes will be taught by
Titus County teachers who failed to
make school connections for the year
and are consequently'out of employ-
ment. The general education class-
es will conduct courses in fundamen-
tal subjects and will be for the ben-
efit of adults who are classed as il-
literates. An effort will be made to
enroll as many students as possible
in an effort to reduce illiteracy in
the county.
Mr. Smith also announces that the
sanitation program, which was con-
ducted in the county the early pSH
uf the year has again been resumed,
and will be under the direct super-
vision of Harold Presley, who
in charge when this program
first inaugurated.

City Health Office, Dr. T. S. Gris-
som, advises the citizens of Mt.
Pleasant to boil all the water taken
from the city mains in the future, es-
pecially where there is a likelihood
of using it for drinking purposes.
Dr. Grissom’s advice comes as a
result of a report received Thursday
morning by Aiderman McClintock re-
garding a sample of water sent to
the State Department of Health a
few days ago. Two samples were
sent, one taken from near some
spring-! which have recently been en-
larged in an effort to stimulate a fur-
ther flow of water to the city lake,
and the other was taken from near
the intake pipe to the standpipe. The
first sample showed no contamina-
tion, but the latter showed evidences
of B. Coli, a human contamination,
1 and a carrier for typhoid germs. Ac-
cording to Dr. Grissom, the contam-
ination was very slight, and there
should be no real danger of an epi-
demic, but as a safety measure, the
water should be boiled before drink-
ing.
The city lake is at
than ever before in
and is still falling daily. There is
no immediate prospect of rain to fill
