THE WOMAN’S AUXILIARY
MEETING OF THE PRES-
BYTERIAN CHURCH
The Presbyterian auxiliary met
Tuesday afternoon in the home of
Mrs. Ed Millican, Mrs. Newt Lan-
ders being hostess to same. The
meeting was opened with prayer led
by Mrs. Kirkpatrick. Roll call show-
ed our usual average number pres-
ent. A letter read from Mrs. Clark
of Temple told us that she and Mrs.
McBurney had been appointed to visit
our society in the near future; they !
are to visit Adamsville society also,
and it was planned to have this meet- i
bag at the church so that as many j
oi our women as possible could hear
these talks. This is the same wox-k j
shat was put over in the Presbytery ;
by the men in the “Visitation Set-
Up” of which we heard a short time
ago and gave Lampasas church the
chance to hear Bro. Byars of Adams- 1
ville. Mrs| LaBounty showed the
quilt blocks as she had put them to-
gether. There are 8 more blocks to
come in and she desires to have
them as soon as possible. Thirty-
eight church visits were reported
made for this month. The Orphan-
age committee was appointed in the
personnel of Mesdames Wachendor-
fer and A. R. Dickens. The time
was then turned over to the leaders
of the lessons and Mrs. Otto Rathman
led on Stewardship. After reading
a fine scripture lesson and having a
prayer she requested that the women

SIX SEEK THE KELLY
CAPTURE REWARD
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oct. 24.—Six
applications for a share in the $15,-
000 reward offered for the capture of
(Machine Gun) Kelly and his wife,
Kathryn, have been made, C. F. Col-
cord, Oklahoma City capitalist, who
underwrote the reward, said today.
He declined to name the applicants,
but said the reward may be paid
next week after a conference with
Charles F. Urschel, for whose kid-
naping the Kellys and four others
were sentenced to life imprisonment,
and federal officials.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.—A pro-
cessing tax of 28 cents per bushel on
corn was fixed today by Secretary
Wallace with the approval of Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The fifth to be levied on one of
the seven basic commodities defined
by the farm adjustment act, it be-
comes effective No. 5, the same date
that the hog processing levy applies.
The tax on corn and hogs is de-
pended upon to finance the produc-
tion control program for corn and
hogs at a maximum cost of approxi-
mately $350,000,000.
In making the announcement, Wal-
lace said the rate of 28 cents per
bushel of 56 pounds was the difference
between the average farm pi’ice for
field corn and “the fair exchange
value of field corn.”
The fair exchange value is “parity”
price, or the amount which corn must
bring to have the purchasing power
it had in the period of 1909 to 1914.
The question of whether the full
difference between parity and the
present price of corn would cause
such a reduction in the consumption
of corn that it would result in an
accumulation of surpluses will be
considered at a hearing in Washing-
ton November 2.
Processing taxes on products that
compete with corn and hogs, among
them sugar and beef products, are
under consideration.
The com tax regulations prescribe
conversion factors that fix a tax for
all floor stocks held by processing
establishments, wholesalers and oth-
ers, on the date the tax goes into ef-
fect. Presumably, retailers will be
given 30 days to get rid of stocks
on hand.
Corn products which will be taxed
as floor stocks include corn meal, corn
flakes (breakfast food type), pearl
or table hominy, corn starch, dex-
trines, glucose syrups and sugars,
corn oil, com gluten feed and corn
gluten meal.
The conversion factor is arrived at.
through determining the amount of
corn which goes into the finished
product.
As in the case of wheat, corn proc-
essed for consumption by a farmer or
members of his household is exempt-
ed from the levy.
No estimate of the amount expect-
ed from the tax on com was made by
the administration, although the
greater part of the grain is fed with-
out processing.
The levy on hogs starts at 50 cents
per hundred pounds of “live animal.”
It will be increased at intervals un-
til it is $2 per hundred pounds by
next Feb. 1. This/ rate is to continue
through the 1933-34 and 1934-35 hog
marketing years. •

NR A COLLECTING DATA
TO AID FUTURE WORK
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—T h e
wealth of data which NRA wants for
economic planning and code enforce-
ment is indicated in a report of the
economic division suggesting that in-
formation be required on a multitude
of details covering almost all business
and industrial operations.
Regarded as especially significant
by trade executives because some of
them are quite seriously concerned
with the costs of obtaining the infor-
mation, the report suggested ten dif-
ferent forms for reporting statistical
data. The forms ask the most inti-
mate figures of business operations,
and require much data that never
has been correlated in a general way
before.
While the immediate purpose of ob-
taining the information is to aid in
the policing of codes, a deeper pur-
pose is the search for accurate data
for economic planning. Official eco-
nomists believe it is essential to have
such data if there is to be adequate
economic judgment both now and in
the future.
The wide extent of the statistics
sought indicates, some economists be-
lieve, the long term intentions of
NRA, since many of the figures would
have little immediate value. They
might, however, be extremely import-
ant as codification goes on and busi-
ness operates more fully under more
extensive organization.
Inquiry No. 1, as the forms are
designated, asks the number of em-
ployes, total man-hours and total
payroll. It classifies male and fe-
male workers as to whether they are
learners, privileged employes, or reg-
ular employes, in factory, auxiliary
departments, and office sections.
No. 2 asks the distribution of em-
ployes according to rates and hours.
For the same classifications as in No.
1, it asks the number of employes who
worked a specified number of hour®
for a specified rate of pay each week.
For instance, how many employes
worked from twenty to 29.9 hours and
received 30c to 34.9c an hour. There
are eight hourly divisions and ten
wage rate divisions.
Inquiry No. 3 breaks down the fig-
ures to show the number of male and
female workers according to their
specific duties and the number of
hours and rates of pay they received.
Inquiry No. 4 requests quite elabo-
rate price information including pri-
ces of principal raw materials and
finished products from manufacturers
through all intermediaries to consum-
ers. Reasons for price changes also
are sought.
Inquiries Nos. 5 and 6 ask informa-
tion on production, stocks, orders and
shipments, and inquiry No. 7 is in
regard to raw materials and fuel used
and on hand.
Inquiry No. 8 asks data on machine
operations, and is regarded as par-
ticularly useful as indicating the ex-
tent to which an industry is over-
expanded with respect to current and
prospective demand.
Inquiry No. 9 asks an inventory of
machinery for the same general pur-
pose.
Inquiry No. 10 involves a quarterly
financial and cost report for code
members whose codes set up costs
as a basis of determining minimum
prices.
Most of these forms are directed at
the manufacturing industry, but sim-
ilar information probably will be
sought from all economic sections.

It Won’t Be
Long Now
Just a few more days now until the turkey market will
open. Feed your turkeys good, keep them free of disease
and have them ready for the Thanksgiving market.
We do not know yet what the opening price will be, but
we do know that we will pay top prices, whatever they-
may be. , .
Due to the fact that this year's crop of turkeys is smaller
than usual and that there aren’t a great many on cold stor-
age, indications are that the price will be fairly good. There
will no doubt be a wider market this year due to the in-
creased wages and more employment.
When your turkeys are ready to sell, remember that we
give top prices in cash' and offer the best of service.
