VOL. XXX—W. L. MARTIN, Editor
CARROLLTON, DALLAS COUNTY, TEXAS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2,1934 •
NUMBER 12
Compulsory?
Wire accounts say that
President Roosevelt is behind
the Bankhead bill to compel
the farmer to grow less cotton.
There is something wrong,
The Journal is convinced,
about that story somewhere.
Events will show that there is
something wrong about it. The
Joornal’s guess is that the
President of the United States
will never sanction the arrest
and jailing of a Texas farmer
for the offense of planting too
much cotton on his own land.
In the first place, that is bad
law. We are pushing the
courts pretty hard, as it is, and
the Constitution is obviously
in political distress. R u't in
tegrity hasn’t left the bench.
Judges still have a conception
of liberty and the duty to up-1
hold it.
In the next place, it is bad
politics. To hire a farmer to
be unproductive may be bad
law—and the Journal suspects
that it is—but it has been tre-
mendously good politics. So
good is it that the American
farmer is behind the Presi-
dent. But when the paymaster
deserts the cotton farmer and
the U. S. Marshal comes with
warrant and handcuffs, it is
going to be a mighty bad day
for the political party in pow- i

A wedding and a birthday
were jointly celebrated in the
handsome home of Mr. and Mrs.
Fort Worth, Jan. 24.—An
emphatic “Yes” is Dr. Edwin
A. R. Lowrey on Maryland A. Elliott’s answer to the oft-
street on last Thursday night repeated query of whether or
when they entertained honor
ing Mr. and Mrs. Leland Perry
of Dallas, who were recently
married, and Mrs. W. W. Per-
ry, mother of Mrs. Lowrey,
whose birthday was very near.
A six o’clock dinner was serv-
ed buffet style to a number of
guests, members of the family.
The rooms were tastily dec-
orated, the Valentine motif
being carried out. A large and
jeautiful birthday cake, pre-
i'ai ed by Mrs. W. C. Treece of
D illas, daughter, held the com-
manding po.s tion it the center

Dr. Elliott, head of the de-

Washington, D. C., on a four
months’ leave of absence from
his school to serve'as assistant
deputy administrator of whole-
sale and retail codes for the
NRA.

homestead communities were
announced last week by Harold
L. Ickes, Secretary of the Inte-
rior. Approximately 70 gard-
en homes will be established
near Wilmington,Dei., on about
300 acres, and are to be occu
pied by selected low-income
mechanics and operatives in
the industries and trades. The
average cost of each home-
stead will be about $2,894.
Homesteads costing approx-
imately $1,650 will be estab-
lished on the Cumberland
Plateau near Crossville, Tenn.,
for the occupancy and purchase
of about 250 families. This
project, like some others of its
kind, seeks to open opportuni-
ties for people long unemploy-
ed who have been left strand-
ed with the decline of coal
mining and lumber industries.
They will obtain their liveli-
hood by working in a stone
quarry which has been devel-
oped on the homestead land,
and by raising food stuffs on
their plot of ground.
According to the present
program, subsistence home-
stead units will be established
at five different points in both
Texas and Mississippi. The
units in Texas which are aimed
to be of demonstrational value
in subsistence farming, will be
established near Houston,
Wichita Falls, Three Rivers,
Beaumont and at Arlington, a
point between Dallas and Ft.
Worth. It is stated that there
will be industrial employment
in the case of all of these units,
and it is planned that all appli-
cants will have an income so
that the production on their
homestead tracts will be limit-
ed to products for their home
use. The cost of the home-
steads\will range from $2,184
to $2,800, and, like the others,
are payable on long-term bases
approximately 20 years.
The projects in Mississippi
will be developed at Meridian,
Hattiesburg, Laurel, McComb
and Tupelo, and are designed to
help spread employment in the
localities in each of which re-
side many skilled workers who
have become victims of chang-
ed industrial conditions due to
exhaustion of timber resourc-
es and the slowing up of the
wood-woi king industries.
These homesteads of 5 to 10
acres and buildings will each
Scholarship* Offered
Texas Teachers
The Texas Tuberculosis Aa-
sociation announced the offer
of two summer school scholar-
ships in health education for
teachers in service. Each
scholarship amounts to seven-
ty-five dollars.
The purpose of the scholar-
ships is to encourage teachers
in service to take training in
health education so that their
training may be comparable to
that of teachers just leaving
coilege.
“Much of our work for the
prevention and' control of
tuberculosis is among school
children. The cooperation of
teachers trained in health edu-
cation is' of inestimable value
in furthering the campaign
against tuberculosis”
One scholarship is offered to
elementary teachers and ad-
ministrators. The other is of.
fered to high school physical
and health education teachers
and administrators. The schol-
arship may be used in any
Texas university or teacher
training college offering sum-
mer school courses in health
education leading to the stand-
ard requirements in that sub-
ject proposed by the State
Department of Education.
Study Club Sponsors
Roosevelt Party
The Woman’s Study Club
sponsored a party at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Davis,
Tuesday night honoring Presi-
dent Franklin D. Roosevelt’s
52nd birthday, at which time
donations were accepted for
the Warm Spring’s Foundation
of Warm Spring, Ga., an Insti-
tution for the cure of Infantile
paralysis.
A nice sum was realized and
any one who would like to add
any amount to the fund of this
wonderful Institution can do
so by leaving the amount with
Roy Grayley at the Carrollton
Hardware, or with any mem-
ber of the Club, not later than
