So that you can have this kind of living—electrical living—
be sure to plan a modern, adequate, electrical wiring system. Since
wiring is hidden in the walls of a house, its importance is often
overlooked. Actually, wiring is one of the most important step* in
building a home.
Adequate wiring is but a small part of your building costs
and adds greatly to your investment. Your architect, electrical con-
tractor or trained specialists at CPL can help plan your wiring and
good wiring will fcelp you enjoy full, economical and efficient use
of your electric service now and in the future.

trol the surplus in the road bond
assumption fund. This fund is de-
rived from one cent of the state
gasoline tax. The revenue is more
than sufficient to retire bonds is-
sued by the counties to build roads
that were subsequently taken over
by the highway department
At present, half of the surplus
goes to the counties, half to the
highway department.
One of the bills now being con-
sidered was introduced by Max
Triplett of Hillsboro. Authors of
the other are Callan Graham of
Junction, Dolph Briscoe, Jr., of
Uvalde, and Clyde Whitehead of
Seymour.
The Triplett bill authorized the
counties to obligate half of their
iucome from the surplus to secure
bonds issued for farm-to-market
roads to be constructed or Improv-
ed under the highway depart
ment’s supervision. The other half
would go directly into farm-to-
market construction under the
highway department’s supervision,
The G l-aliam-Briscoe-Whitehead
hill repeals the appropriation act,
passed by the last legislature,
which provided $15 million per
year out of the state’s general fund
for rural road building.
Then the bill gives the surplus in
the road bond assumption fund
(after a $1 million surplus to be
held in the state treasury) to the
highway department for farm-to-
market road building.
The roads to he built would he
selected by the highway depart-
ment “after consultation with the
county commissioners courts, rela-
tive to the most needed rural
road ...”

qualified voters as possible. For tlie (Station the first of the week after
COLLEGE STATION, Feb. 15.
Texas farmers'are asking for big-
ger and fuster operating eottou
gins, larger aud better equipped
gruiu elevators and rice driers to
bundle tbeir ever increasing pro-
duction. To meet at least u part
of these demands, farmers, suys
M. C. Juynes, extension specialist
hi organization and cooperative
marketing of Texas A. & M. Col-
lege, ure doing the job themselves
through their own cooperatives.
He points out that figures re-
leased by the Houston Bank of
Cooperatives show that Texas co-
operatives last year borrowed more
than $22,800,000 from the hank
and much of it was invested in
modern facilities for handling
crops.
These cooperatives have been or-
ganized to handle a variety of off-
the-farm services that are required
by present day farmers. Crops
which a few years ugo were har-
vested over a period of months
must now be handled rapidly due
largely to the use of better farm
equipment aud planting of early
maturing varieties of crops.
Farmers, Jaynes says, use tbeir
cooperatives to do the jobs which
ure too big for the average farmer
to handle alone. He cites as ex-
amples cooperatives for ginning
cotton, those for handling and
marketing grain, rice, fruit, veget-
ables, livestock, dairy and poultry
products and ethers for crushing
und mark' Jug cottonseed, manu-
facturing feed and purchasing the
supplies that are needed on the
modern mechanized farm.
He says there are some 900 farm
cooperatives in Texas. About one-
third of these are cooperative cot-
ton gins. Local cooperatives with
an average of about 200 members
each make up 95 per cent of the
past twenty years the Legislature
lias felt that redlstrlctlng was not
necessary, but due to the large in-
crease iu population during receut
years such action is now impera-
tive.
The Legislature feels tliut the
present apportionment of senatorial
districts Is unequal not only be-
cause ’ of uu increased population
but also because of shifts lu popu
latiou from oue area to uuother.
Central aud Northeast Texas will
be greatly affected by tlie pluu as
the areas have lost a lurge umount
of population to the more indus-
trialized sections of South uud
West Texas. As a result, Centrut
anil Northeast Texas will lose four
senators while South and West
Texas will gain more. Uuder the
prevailing apportionment of dis-
tricts a large number of the people
ure not getting the adequate repre-
sentation to which they are entitl-
ed. So with tlie people's interest-
in the Legislature 1ms settled down
to solving tlie problem equul repre-
sentation for till citizens of Texas.
The redlstrlctlug proposul will ef-
fect the 18th Senatorial District,
represented Seuutor John J. Bell
of Cuero in Ihut McMullen County
will be added to tlie 18th District
while Atascosa and Wllsou Counties
will be udded to the 10th District.
Senator Bell Is sponsoring it bill
lu tlie Seuute which would require
all Communist front Organizations
to register with the Department of
l’ubile Safety. Failure to do so
would impose a severe penalty of a
fine of not less thuu oue Ihousund
dollurs or nol mo|e tliuu ten thous-
and, or imprisonment of not less
tliut two years or more than ten
years. It would provide severul
penalties up to death for sabotage.
The death penally would upply
when u fatality is the result of
sabotage. The name of auy com-
munist or nominee of the Com-
munist party could not he printed on
Lhe ballot of uuy primary or general
election in Toxus ur auy political
subdivision. A Communist could not
hold auy non-elective positions for
the Stute where the Job is paid in
whole or iu purt by public moneys
or funds of the State. This bill
has pussed the House aud la now iu
the Senate where u public hearing
was tu be held at 2 p. til. Tuesday.

“The pecutfar pattern of tills
spread of measles re-eiupliaslzes
the fact that it is a contagious
diseuse, pussed from one person to
another,” Dr. Cox said. “Uuurd
against exposure by avoiding con-
tact with meusles patients."
Dr. Cox suid tliut measles ulono
is not necessurily a dangerious di-
sease, but dangerous complications,
such as' sirepococeus, mastoiditis,
and penumonla frequently follow,
make it a disease to be carefully
nursed with close uttentiou from
a doctor.
“Unskilled treatment of a plain
case of measles can result in com-
plications which often kill,” Dr.
Cox warned, “and it is not to bo
regarded liglitly us simply another
childhood disease.”
Dr. Cox urged parents to care-
fully watch children exposed, and
at the first sign of temperature,
flushed face, sniffles, or watering
eyes, advised that the child be put
to bed immediately and placed un-
der a doctor’s care.

sume from 100 to 120 pounds of
