with the expectation of better to

possess gives joy.
"'Rejoice in the Lord,' the chris
tian is in possession of the Lord,
the Lord is his. Hisl'ather, his
Friend, his Redeemer and his Pre-
server. Indeed he claims the Lord
as his peculiar possession. Now he
t hat owns the Lord owns all things,
since all things comes by Him and
through Him.
Hence—"Rejoice in the Lord.
l.f we have the Lord there is no
need to rejoice in anything else.
Let all of our joy be in the Lord,
riot today only, or on some partic-
ular occasions, but "always," every
day, every hour. Not in times of
success and prosperity only, but in
affliction and persecution, in our
failures and disappointments, "Al-
ways." "And again I say Rejoice."
The peculiar emphasis of this repe-
tition.
It is the christians privilege to
rejoice. If any creature has any-
thing to rejoice over and be glad,
t he christian more. The Lord is
his. He is my Father, I am glad 1
have such a Father. He 1s my
friend. Oh! what a friend to re-
joice over. He is my redeemer and
preserver, therefore I am safe, and
1 rejoice. This is what I now have
to rejoice over. But we have the
assurance of better to come.

Taxes Paid in Texas
Tax bill paid by the people of
Texas during the 1938 fiscal year
amounted to $0 a week per family,
according to a new State-wide pub-
lication, The Taxpayers Digest, a
preliminary number of which was
issued this week.
The new semi-monthly publica-
tion, described as "a Texas journal
of accurate news and pertinent
comment relating to the public
revenue—local, State and Nation-
al," is published by The Taxpayers
Recearch Bureau, Dallas, with Pe-
ter Molyneaux, widely known Tex-
as editor, author, and economist as
editor. Booth Mooney, of Dallas,
associated with Mr. Molyneaux in
the publication of the Texas Week-
ly, is associate editor of The Tax-
payers Digest.
Mission of the new tax newspa-
per, according to Mr. Molyneaux,
is to help the average man to stu-
dy and understand the fact that
the Texas tax bill has been growing
steadily during the last 15 years,
and is still growing.
"The revenue of the State Gov-
ernment of Texas raised by taxa-
tion during the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1938, amounted to Sill,-
650,527," Mr. Molyneaux said,
"and that of all the local govern-
ments of the State amounted to
$120,033,286.
The Taxpayers Research Bureau
estimates the Federal taxes paid by
the people of Texas during that
year as not less than $221,000,000.
This is given as an extremely con-
servative estimate, but assuming it
to be approximately correct, and
adding it to the totals of State and
local taxes, it appears that the to-
tal tax bill of the people of Tevas
for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1938, was not less than $454,000,-
000.
"On that basis the people of
Texas during that year paid the
equivalent of approximately $6 a
week per family in Texas. And a
large percentage of the people of
the State paid that amount or
much more," he concluded.

1940 AAA Program Set
College Station—The AAA an-
nounced its 1940 farm program
here this week and promised to
keep it in tune with the times,
should war deplete present large
supplies of farm products and over
tax Uncle Sam's Land.
At the same time it provided for
more funds to help farmers take
care of their soil, and offered a
$1.50 payment for family gardens
of .adequate size and content.
While the setting of acreage goals
and allotments for all major crops
except wheat was postponed pend-
ing international developments, the
program is fundamentally the same
as it has been for the last two years
and comes out in plenty of time, to
permit crop planning well ahead of
planting time, John Weatherly,
East Texas farmer and member of
the State Agricultural Conserva-
tion Committee pointed out.
Wheat acreage allotments for
1910 have been set up already
for all effected farms in Texas, and
commercial vegetable acreage has
been allotted in several counties.
So far as these crops are concerned
the 1940 program is under way.
The 1940 Range Conservation
Program is yet to be announced.
Small farms get special consider-
ation in the new program, which
sets a $20 minimum on the custom-
ary allowance earned by terracing,
seeding legumes, turning under
green manure crops or doing some-
thing else to build up soil and con-
serve moisture.
Besides the regular soil building
allowance, each farm in 1940 will
be able to earn as much as $30 by
planting forest trees—for wind-
breaks. woodlots, watersheds, wild-
life cover and similar uses.
Farmers in the wind erosion area
will have to supplement their usual
practices with more soil-building j
this year by returning sub-margi- j
nal land to grass or other natural
cover.

Wesley Vaughan Hen-
derson Killed in
Car Accident
Wesley Vaughan Henderson age
24, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Hen-
derson, of near Jefferson, was kill-
ed in a car accident near Magnolia,
Ark., Saturday afternoon, Sept.
23. The body was carried to his
parental home, where the funeral
services were held Sunday after-
noon at 4 p. m., conducted by Rev.
VV. S. Easterling of Atlanta, a for-
mer Pastor. Rev. Windham, Pas-
tor of the Methodist Church at
Jefferson, read the scripture, Rev.
A. A. Rider, Pastor of the Linden
Methodist Church offered prayer,
then Bro. Easterling brought a very
consoling message.
The body was brought to Lin-
den and laid to rest in the Linden
cemetery, with the Haggard Funer-
al Service of Jefferson, in charge.
The lovely floral offering and the
large crowd who gathered at the
funeral spoke of the high esteem in
which he was held-
Wesley Vaughan was born and
reared here and was loved by all
who knew him. The whole town
was deeply grieved to learn of his
untimely death, and our hearts go
out to the parents in their deep
sorrow, he being their only child.
He was always a manly obedient
boy and grew up to be a young
man of noble christain character.
We would say to the parents, weep
not as those that have no hope,
although you cannot call Wesley
Vaughan back, you can go to him.
Strive to live so as to be ready
when your summons comes.

American Industry
Hates War
War destroys lives. [War wreck*
homes. Economic chaos and years
of crushing depression are its inev-
; itahle aftermath. It imperils rep-
resentative democracy. Free insti-
tutions are among its early victims.
Ultimately no one can escape the
ruin of war.
American industry wants peace*
Peace is the life blood of progress.
Peace must be the national objec-
tive.
Industry's position on this mat-
ter has been stated repeatedly and
there must be no misunderstanding
about it.
The United States can stay out
of war.
Emotionalism can betray us into
war.
A public will to peace, coupled
with public policies and affirmative
action to this end by our govern-
ment will keep us out of war. A
fatalistic attitude that war is inev-
itable is absurd. It presupposes
that America cannot conduct itself,
intelligently to preserve peace and
its own interests.
Europe's problems do effect us,
but our domestic problems still
must come first.
If yesterday industry was the
only source of prosperity and re-
employment, today it is as well the
keystone of preparedness and peace.
Under any conditions, nerica
must depend on a smoothly func-
tioning, efficient industrial system.
Manufacturers will not relax
their efforts to achieve and main-
tain sound improvement in our
domestic economy.
Industry opposes profiteering—
the util zation of war psychology
to boost prices for the purpose of
making excessive profits.
As manufacturers we recognize
it is to be our responsibility and
moral obligation to conduct o r
business so that the prices of the
products we produce and sell are
related equitably to production
costs.
We pledge our energetic support
to this policy.
The N. A. M. calls upon all its
members to exercise vigilance
against any price or profit policies
not justified by actual cost and an-
ticipated cost of replacement.
Months ago this Association
said: "Nosensible person believes
that profit can come out of the
wreckage of human life and eco-
nomic dislocation."
The use of this crisis as an excuse
either to extort unjustifiable pro-
fits or to pursue partisan political
objectives is not only indefensible
and dangerous, but reprehensible
morally. Nor should pleas of
"emergency" be utilized as an ex-
cuse for reaching objectives which
the American people would not
otherwise sanction.
The present situation calls for
agreement on common objectives,
but the democratic process of con-
sultation and criticism must never
be abandoned. Otherwise, we
shall be following in t he footsteps
of those who believe in government
by coercion.
In a world distraught by force
the best way to preserve represen-
tative democracy is to practice it.
Linden lias been pleasingly free
from mosquitoes all summer but
the pests are back in force south
and east of town. Investigation
disclosed that they are breeding at-
the city sewage disposal plant
This condition has been called to
the attention "of the city officials
but no steps have been taken yet
to correct the condition. We hope
this neglect will be remedied sood
