WEDNESDAY STUDY CLUB
Paris, was the capitol studied when
the Wednesday club met with Mrs.
Albert Culver, Nov. 7, Mrs. F. E.
Holman serving as co-hostess.
“Artistic ^Paris’’'' jwias 'the intro-
ductory topic formulated by Mrs.
H. N. Key, leader, who characteriz-
ed the city as the “Alma Mater” of
the world of art.
Mrs. Edgar Smith, Jr., continued
with her subject, “Literary Paris.”
This report lent much merit to French
literature and Paris as a mecca for
all students.
“Reminiscences of Artists,” was
the theme Mrs. R. E. Bristol, whoi in-
cluded reproductions of many artists
in her splendid presentation.
Seasonable and enjoyable was the
coffee and pumpkin pie passed to a
large assembly of club members and
two vsitors, Mesdames W. B. Mc-
Gee and Thos. McDonald.—Reporter.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—The crea-
tion of a permanent farm credit sys-
tem as powerful as the federal re-
serve and stripped of all private
profit will be proposed to the next
congress by Chairman Jones (D. Tex-
as) of the house agriculture commit-
tee as the key log of a farm legis-
lative program.
Essentially, the setup would be
broad enough to afford permanent
credit facilities to agriculture in all
its operations—credit to be given at
cost, plus a fractional charge to build
up a reserve and protect against
losses.
The system would be operated thru
the existing farm credit administra-
tion. It '■would be empowered to
issue currency—farm credit notes
similar to federal reserve notes—and
thus to save the interest charges re-
sulting in financing through bonds.
It would use existing facilities of
intermediate credit banks, the pro-
duction credit corporation, and land
banks.
The money to start the farm re-
serve system, Jones added, would
come either by earmarking gold now
held in the treasury or by direct ap-
propriation of congress. He declin-
ed to estimate how much would be
needed.
He said the exact rate of interest
to the farmer under the proposal had
not been determined, but that it
probably would not be more than SV2
per cent.
Powerful backing for the plan al-
ready has been obtained.

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 8.—Dele-
gates attending 'the finnual Tfexas
Baptist convention applauded fre-
quently today as Dr. F. S. Groner,
president of the College of Marshall,
presented the (report of fthie civic
righteousness committee condemning
horse race gambling and calling for
re-enactment of the 18th amendment.
The report w*as accepted (unani-
mously and without change.
The convention called on President
Roosevelt and the national democrat-
ic administration to make good their
pledge to protect dry States, such
as Texas, against liquor importations.
It asked the government to stop the
practice of selling licenses to hard
liquor vendors in dry States.
The Baptists also requested state
officials to use State Rangers and
employ quo warranto proceedings to
enforce the laws against liquor and
gambling in those communities where
local officials do not enforce them.
Several thousand Baptists Wednes-
day night honored Mr. and Mrs. John
G. Hardin of Burkburnett for their
contributions to Christian education,
and speakers hailed the occasion as
the beginning of a new and brighter
era for church colleges of this State.
Mr. and Mrs. Hardin, who have
given approximately $4,000,000 to
Baptist institutions, sat on the plat-
form as prominent ministers and ed-
ucators expressed the gratitude of
the state Baptist convention, in ses-
sion here.
Among those paying tribute* to the
Hardins and to Mrs. Katie McKie of J
Corsicana, who also has given lib-
erally to church schools, were Rev.
George W. Truett of Dallas, presi-
dent of the World Baptist Alliance,
and Pat M. Neg, president of Baylor
University.
Asserting that Christian education
is the only complete education, Rev.
Mr. Truett called for continued sup-
port of church colleges.
State education, he said, is not ade-
quate to the needs of a world be-
darkened by sin.
The report of the committee on
christiah education delivered by Rev.
W. H. McKenzie of Austin stated
homes had fallen down so badly on
instruction in morals and religion that
we must look elsewhere for such in-
struction.
1935 COTTON PROGRAM
HAS BEEN DRAFTED
BOOTLEGGING SLUMP SHOWN
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—A steady
decrease in bootlegging during the
last four months was reported today
by Secretary Morgenthau.
He said this was indicated by in-
creasing federal liquor revenues,
larger sales in state owned stores
and higher prices for illicit alcohol.
Morgenthau added that increases in
liquor tax receipts from as early as
August indicated that the rise in col-
lections was not merely a “seasonal”
one coinciding with the advent of
cold weather.
Disclosing that 87 per cent of al-
cohol tax criminal cases handled by
tfie federal courts between July 1
and Oct. 1 had resulted in convic-
tions, Morgenthau said the attitude
of the courts was an impoi'tant fac-
tor in the campaign to make the en-
tire liquor industry yield taxes.
Daily Leader 3 Months for $1.00
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—A 1935
program for America’s principal ex-
port crop—cotton—which calls for
the largest possible acreage reduc-
tion and increased payments to co-
operating farmers was drafted today
at the agricultural adjustment ad-
ministration.
As yet the plan is labeled “unoffi-
cial” but authoritative quarters re-
port Secretary Wallace almost cer-
tainly would order an acreage cut of
25 per cent below the average in the
past of around 41,000,000 acres.
The majority of the south’s cotton
growers already have signed con-
tracts pledging reduction, for 1935.
Those agreements provide that the
25 per cent reduction is the maxi-
mum which may be ordered from
Washington.
Only the discovery that funds
would be unavailable, one official
said, would prevent the increase in
payments to southern farmers who
are cooperating, or who agree to do
so in the future.
At the same time, it was revealed
at the farm administration that nego-
tiations are under way with Ger-
many for a deal which would involve
exchange of about 500,000 bales of
cotton for German goods.
The decrease in cotton exports in
Germany constitutes the principal
factor in the decline in cotton ship-
ments abroad and one of the reasons
why AAA officials feel that the maxi-
mum acreage reduction permission
is imperative for next year.
Other developments -/which point
to the 25 per cent slash are:
Reduced consumption in American
cotton.
A cotton carry-over on Aug. 1 was
more than 10,000,000 bales, the third
largest carry-over on record:
Estimates that a yield approaching
11,800,000 bales would be grown next
year even if every farmer eligible to
sign up reduced in accordance with
the 25 per cent direction;
A cotton forecast today which esti-
mated production this year at 9,634,-
000 bales, an increase of 191,000 over
the October forecast.
