In a constitutional Amendment
some time back we knocked out
the FEE SYSTEM for officials.
Now we have a chance to re-instate
It. But do you know this editor
believes It should stay out. That
is, we should vote against return-
ing the fee system for Texas.
Ten thousand Lions are expected
to assemble in Chicago for the
annual International convention
July 20-23, according to estimates
of association officials, based on
the large advance registration. Re-
gistrations already total nearly
3,000, ar.d three of the city's largest
hotels have been reserved to ac-
comodate the conventionists.

it reaches higher courts. We are
honest in the statement that we

FARMERS HAVE THE POWER
As Governor Lehman of New
York recently said: "The farmers
have all the power to solve every
major problem." This power lies
In cooperative organization to dis-
pose of farm produce to the best
advantage, and to raise It most
economically and scientifically.
It is a fact that the tens of
thousands of farmers belonging to
well established marketing coopera-
tives have gone far ahead of un-
organized farmers in the last de-
cade. Such cooperatives provide
what individual farmers lack—mas?
bargaining power, equal in size and
strength to that of wholesalers and
distributors. They place the farmer
on an even footing with those tc
whom he sells. This has been one
of the most encouraging phases
of agricultural development in re-
cent years.
commercial and industrial employ-
ment after December 31, 1936, and
prior to death or attainment of
age 65."
It is this editor's private opinion,
publically expressed, that our fath-
ers and mothers should encourage
the leaders of the BOY SCOUT3
and also help their boys who be-
long to the Scouts, in Claude. A
world of good is done by sc'jut
leaders where they can have the
hearty cooperation of the parents
of the boys. Many boys are kept
off the road that might lead them
Into serious trouble, by strict at-
tention to the work laid out for them
by scoutmasters. Let us help them
and do whatever comes our way
that will mean better boys for
Claude and vicinity. A wise old
editor, Mr. Shaw, of The Higgins
News, carries at the mast head of
his paper: "Take care of the Boy
and the man will take care of him-
self." That is mighty good and we
endorse all Bro. Shaw has to say
in the Interest of our growing boys
and young men. The boys of today
will be the men of tomorrow. May
we help them to become good men.
You folks might read the Chuck-
BOX. found on the last page, and
keep up with scouting in Claude.
Forty-five states and the District
of Columbia and Alaska now have
enacted unemployment compensa-
tion laws. In addition, Hawaii, on
May 18, passed an unemployment
compensation law, which has not
yet been reviewed by the 3ocial
Security Board. The latest avail-
able estimates Indicate that 18,-
678,000 persons are employed in
jobs covered by unemployment com-
pensation laws in the District of
Columbia and the forty-five states
Only three states—Florida, Illinois
and Missouri—still remain without
unemployment compensation laws
and each of these states has leg-
islation under consideration.
The legislature this week moved
:nto the second phase of its anti-
gambling special session, and took
jp laws to prohibit dog race bet-
ting, and operation of bookmakers
shops, after taking In Its stride its
major task—that of outlawing parl-
mutuel betting at Texas race tracks
Race track betting, major objec-
tive of Gov. Allred, which was con-
ceived in legislative Iniquity and
spawned In parliamentary sin. by
means of a conference rider on a
major appropriation bill, went out
in a dramatic session of the Texas
senate, which saw 16 stalwart anti-
racing votes, marshaled in the
senate by Sen. G. H. Nelson, of
Tahoka, hold consistently together
and administer the severest drub-
bing of their careers to two senate
parliamentary sharks, Frank Raw
lings of Ft. Worth, and Clint Small
of Amarillo They went down fight-
ing like wildcats, each making bit-
ter speeches attacking the governor
—but helpless to block the repeal
action, as It was blocked in the
regular session.
AIDING CRIME
It is generally understood that
the people of this country expect
their officers to rigidly enforce the
law. However, many are today do
ing everything In their power to
break down the work of juries and
Judges. Through petitions and poli-
tical pressure theives and mur
derers are being turned loose every-
day to prey on their sentimental
benefactors, and the parole law,
of this country have become little
more than a sham. Far more than
one-half of the criminals now be-
ing arrested are found, on investi-
gation, have been guilty of earlier
crimes and to have gained their
liberty through parole. It is not
often that the citizens of Claude
are asked to attach their names to
a petition for parole, but when
they are it would be a good Idea
for them to weigh the matter care
fully. Sentiment is a fine thing,
but sentiment becomes dangerous
if it leads to the release of still
another menace to the peace and
welfare of the general public.
If you would have friends you
must show yourself friendly. Very-
few people are able to resist the
steady shine of friendliness. By and
by they will unbend and like you.
If they do not, you have not lost
anything, and the effort you have
put forth has done you good. If

BOYS AND CRIME
Parents of Claude boys who have
neglected to encourage them to
affiliate with the Boy Scouts or a
like oiganlzation wherever it Is
possible for the boys to do so, will
be interested in an announcement
by federal secret service authorities
on the subject. They say the per-
centage of juvenile crime In Am-
erica Is far less in communities
where Boy Scouts and similar or-
ganizations are maintained than
In those communities which either
discourage such organizations or
fail to take any Interest. "If we
are to prevent crime," says one
federal investigator, "we must be-
gin with the high chair Instead oi
the electric chair." Combatting
crime is a responsibility of all
citizens, and not merely of law-
enforcement officers. Those who
help the boys of tills country to
prevent crime, and there can be
no doubt but aiding and encourag-
ing the Bey Scouts and like organ-
izations is an excellent way to go
about it.

GARDEN PESTS HERE
Gardners in Armstrong County

with an enemy that will damage,
and in some cases, may completely
destroy their growing vegetables
unless something is done immedi-
ately to halt them, according to
Miss Nannie Mae Gaines, home
management supervisor for the Re-
settlement Administration, with of-
fices in the First National Bank
Building, Memphis, Texas.
Miss Gaines said reports from
practically every county in the
Southwest Indicate the grasshopper
menace is greater at this time
than at any period within the past
seven years.
And while farmers have a varlety
of poison mixtures at their com-
mand to combpt this well-known
enemy of ail growing crop3, Ml3s
Qalnes said, the gardners are limit-
ed to those mixtures which are not
harmful to humans and poultry.
