known and highly respected
citizen of this city, passed

held by his friends.
The service was conducted

Hairston, of his devotion to
his church and loved ones. Dr.
Hairston was chairmah of the
board of stewards of the
Methodist church, serving in
this capacity with both of the
ministers, resigning the first

CLOSES SI110IU3B
All 1935 cotton contracts
must be signed by Saturday
night, March 23rd, as that is
the closing date for making
1935 contracts.
Each school district was
visited the past two \\feeks, and
many farmers signed them,
but there remains a few who
have not signed and these are
.urged to come in at once and
sign.
All parties who made con-
tracts in 1934 will have to sign
new papers showing the per-
centage that they wish to re-
duce in 1935. The minimum
percentage is 20 per cent and
the maximum 35 per cent, ex-
cept where the base is under
five acres and then the farmer
can lease the total acreage to
the Government.
It is very important that
these contracts be completed
this week, so do not delay and
get left out. Any place is
eligible for a contract on which
cotton was grown in 1933 and
1934, or in either year,

Dr. Hairston’s influence as a
useful and progressive citizen
will he missed. He was vice-
president of the Guaranty-
Bond State Bank of this city,
and has served on the board of
directors of the institution al-
most from the time of the
bank’s organization in this
city. He was active in church
woth and hd a consecrated
Christian life. Last January he
resigned as chairman of the
board of stewards after hav-
ing served for more than ten
years. He was a kind and
loving husband, a devoted fa-
ther and enjoyed the loyal
friendship of the entire com-
munity.
Surviving are his devoted
wife; one daughter, Mrs.
Frank Haberger and her two
children of Houston, aud
grandson, Tommie Hairston, a
number of other relatives and
a host of friends.
Timpson people extend to
the bereaved wife, children
and other loved ones heartfelt
sympathy in theirbereavement.

Furman Hayes.
Austin, Texas, March 20.—
Signed by around 90 members
of the Texas House, a bill re-
enacting the state oil and gas
conservation laws and elimi-
nating many of their defects
was started on its legislative
urney this week.
Vital provisions of present
oil conservation statutes ex-
pire Sept. 1 of this year.
Representative R. W. Cal-
vert of Hillsboro, one of the
strong leaders in the move-
ment to place added protec-
tion around Texas’ natural re-
sources explained some of the
benefits to result from passage
of the bill.
“It will throw up stronger
safeguards around the State’s
general revenues and the roy-
alties which the Univerzity of
Texas and A. ft M. College are
now getting from West Texas
fields. Production in those
fields would be protected
against uncontrolled oil flows
from other sections.
"In fact,” Rep. Calvert con-
tinued, “the bill was drawn
with the thought in mind to in-
sure orderly development of
Texas’ oil resources; give the
state's Interests in mineral
rights greater safety.”
Representative Hugh B.
Steward of Fairfield, another
outstanding proponent, point-
ed out the large number of
House members signing the
bill offered indisputable proof
of its necessity.
‘It also emphasizes the
fact that the bill is not a con-
troversial one.”
He described it as an anti-
oil waste bill, adding that it
would codify the main oil
statutes; make necessary pro-
cedural changes; prohibit and
defind waste, and otherwise
correct present laws in the in-
terest of the state as a whole.

Pennington, Tex., March 18.
(UP)—Farmers at the Friend-
ship community just six miles
from here believe M. V. “Bug”
Hill is the best neighbor in
T«ms.
Hill is the champion “ter-
raeer” in these parts. Tbrongh
a one-man terracing program,
he has raised the value of
deserted farm land 55 an acre
and more,
"Buy” has been so interest-
ed in bis neighbors’ welfare
that he has not spared time or
expense to aid them. And his
friends appreciate what he
has done.
When he goes to the state
capital to try to raise relief
funds to help with the work, his
neighbors turn up IS to 20 at a
time to do his farm work. Hill
also makes many trips to Tex-
as A. ft M. College to obtain
information.
County Agent C. E. Bowies
who aided Hill In his work said
“Bug” was responsible for
salvage-and terracing of 6,000
acres in Houston county.
Hill became convinced many
years ago that terracing would
prevent the tremendous wast-
age of fertile land through soil
erosion.
“Nei*hW’ Bill has stu-
died terracing from a scientific
point of view. His wide expe-
rience has made him an ex-
pert and authority on land
reclamation.
Bowles said that great gul-
lies on the hillside have been
filled and now thousands of
acres formerly abandoned are
drained properly and produce
good crops—all because of
Hill’s zeal for his neighbor's
welfare.
