SUPT. i. I. HILL
Of Follett Public School Makes
Fine Talk on "Armistice
Day" November 9th
Our P. T. A. Program of Nov.
9th, was one of the best we have
had the pleasure of hearing. Per-
taining to peace and friendliness
and climaxed by J. L. Hill's talk
on Armistice. Also a short talk
on friendliness in character
growth by Mrs. H. S. Dickson.
A brief summary of Mr. Hill's
discourse is as follows.
On November 11th this year we
are to celebrate Armistice, the
ending of the great World War.
We will be reminded of shot and
Conservation
Projects
Named by National Youth Ad-
ministration Workers
Austin, Nov. 16th. Soil conserva-
tion projects manned by Nation-
al Youth Administration workers
are in operation in 26 counties of
Texas, and have been approved
for 23 additional counties, Lynd-
on B. Johnson, state director, an-
nounced this week. By mid-Nov-
ember the NYA plans to have
projects approved in 64 Texas
counties.
These projects are developed In
cooperation with the Agricultural
Extension Service of Texas A. &
M. College. Through County Ag-
ents, the Extension Service has
provided technical supervision for
surveying soil conservation ter-
races, diversion channels, gully
retards, check dams, and other
appurtenances cf soil conserva-
tion work.
The youths employed hy the
NYA on soil erosion projects work
are

" ' e ,S£*.vinf of food- We 'paid at the prevailing wags rates
will be reminded of the hatreds,
the jealousy and the rivalry bet-
ween nations. We will be remind-
of all that makes war. The
worst of all we will be reminded
of the killing of men, women and
children. We will be reminded
of the dead, the dying and the
wounded.
Armistice should not be a cel-
ebration. We should not glory in.
our victory. We should not glory
over the murder of the citizenship
of another nation < All our obser-
vation of the day ending that
great conflict should toward a
greater friendship between nat-
ions, and a renewed effort toward
world peace.
What are the methods w$ have
used to prevent war in the past?
It is a common belief among nat-
ions that the only way to prevent
war is to prepare for war. The only
way to maintain peace is at the
point of gun. If a nation has a
larger army, a more efficient navy
—more munitions of war, then
that nation stands a better
chance of being respected by
other nations. The nations of the
world for all time have used this
method. History proves definitely
that such a method to maintain
peace will not work. The condi-
tion of Europe before the out-
break of the world war should
explode this theory as a way to
peace. History shows that the
more a nation develops her arm-
aments, the more she Is looked
upon by other nations as a war-
mad country. As a consequence,
her neighbors increase their arm-
ament to meet the expected at-
tack. The world becomes an
army camp. What peace ths
world has is armed-peace.
Another method used in the
past to prevent war Is the alli-
ance. Alliances have postponed
wars, but have never prevented
them. The outbreak of the world
war was caused partly by the dip-
lomacy—secret diplomacy—of two,
of the greatest alliances in
history. The Triple Alliance, and
the Triple Entente. The object
was to balance the power bf Eu
rope. They did balance the power
In /an evenly fought world war
for four years.
Pacts, and treaty agreements
always have' clauses included
which 4he warring nation finds
easy to evade. At the present
time they are one hundred and
fifty two agreements between na-
tions In effect In Europe, yet
there are one million and one
half more men under arms in
today than in 1914. War
for their community. Each field
party is composed of the survey-
or-supervisor and five or six
youths employed by the NYA. A
different group of youths works
each week, so that a rull-time
soil conservation project may em-
ploy 20 to 25 youths.
The projects now operating in
26 counties employ 104 youths.
The additional projects, Involving
more intensive work in 23 other
counties, will employ 414 more
youths.
Youths employed by the Nat-
ional Youth Administration are
working on two other types of soil
conservation projects*. The Texas
Highway Department is sponsor
for soil erosion prevention work
on rights of way in 50 counties,
and the United States Soil Con-
servation Service is sponsor for
another project for construction
of terraces. These two types or
projects have employed approx-
imately 700 youths on soil conse-
vatlon work.

'$28,500
EXTRA
To Be Raised By Texas Adop-
tion the Salary Amendment
SEVEN TIMES DURING
The Past Thirty Years-- -Similar
Amendments Have Been
Attempted But Failed
Curiously, Texas' taxpayers owe
Lieutenant Governor Walter F
Woodul of Houston a debt ol
gratitude for a deed that will tap
their pocketbooks by incre.isini;
the cost of State government,.
But the tap for the whole State
will be a light one-only $28,500. a.
year-and the ultimate; saving will
amount to many times that much
His deed was the successfu
sponsorship of the constitutional
amendment, adopted by the peo-
ple last Tuesday, raising the gov-
ernor's salary to $12,000 a year,,
the attorney general's to $10,000.
and the four other constitution a
State officers' to $6,000 eacn.
Seven times, during the pa.s
thirty years, similar amencimer u.
have been attempted in the Lar-
islature but failed either or sub
mission or of adoption at the
polls. Mr. Woodul himself a
introduced joint resolutions prn
posing such salary raises in four
regular sessions, as State senator
and lieutenant governor Tin
time he not only introduced tne
measure, but "lobbied" it through
to submission, and then conduc-
ted a State-wide campaign for its
adoption. Its final succcss may
be credited to his efforts and the
efforts of these whose assistance
he procured; it is a personal tri-
umph for Mr. Woodul; he is to
be congratulated for his perver-
ance and .achievement; and the
people of Texas are inc!eb':l la
him for a splendid service.
Just why the previous prop: vis
failed of adoption is hard to un-
derstand, for any fair-niifidsd
citizen should recognize their
merit. The constitutional conven-
tion of 1875 fixed th( present pal-
try salaries of the State of tie: j):-,
but that was when tho State \va
young and poor and the position-
carried only a fraction of their
present importance. Moreover, a
dollar in those days had the buy-
ing power of two or three prevent
-day dollars. No State of half the
size of Texas is so parismomous
with its officers.
The .financial demands upon
those functionaries are such that
they can not live comfortably on
their present salaries. The in-
crease will give them a ^ittle more
reward for their services than
the mere honor of position. At
the same time, it will lessen the
tempatation to corruption, and
attract well qualified high class
candidates to the offices.
On the whole, trflp Salary am-
endment is a wholesome step to-
ward better government.
