"Buying Dallas Made Goods,
Solution of Depression in the
City,’’ is a caption of a very
logical article appearing in Sun-
day’s Times Herald. What
would apply to Dallas would ap-
ply to every other city. It not
only holds good so far as the
good' being manufactured in
the home city, but it helps to
dispel the bad economic situa-
tion to buy of home merchants.
Many of our people in attempt-
ing to save a few pennies not
only often pay more for their
goods but place their dollars
■where they will not return to
them or in any way help them
when assistance is so sorely
needed. Many of our people
while crying hard times and
scarcity of money seem proud
to go away to make their pur-
chases.
A RIGHT SPIRIT.
-#-
The other day the Favorite
carried the story of a local wi-
dow with five children to sup-
port, and the method she adopt-
ed for providing for their needs
this winter. Last winter she
had to apply to the local char-
ity committee to help prevent
suffering by her little ones. She
accepted the help gratefully,
and determined that she would
do all she could to prevent hav-
ing to ask help this winter. Her
plan was the most feasible one
for her. While it involved much
hard work and some discom-
fort, it proved adequate. When
the season opened for cotton
picking she took her children to
the cotton patch and she kept
them there unil she believes she
has already earned enough to
tide them over the winter
months. She will keep up her
work as long as the weather
permits.
It may be a pity that a wo-
man with little children has to
resort to such labor. It may be
that some of those children
needed to be in the school room.
It may be that she had better
have sought some permanent
employment. But be these
things as they may, she used
the best judgment she had. and
showed the proper spirit in ac-
Ninety complaints charging
violation of the law have been
filed in Justice Tynes’ Court
since June 4th. Twenty-one of
these were misdemeanors Sat-
urday night and Sunday, and 30
were for felonies since Oct. 1st.
This record is apalling and
should set sober-minded people
to thinking. It indicates we
must be nearing bankruptcy
morally, but we are hastening
bankruptcy financially. Every
plea of guilty in Justice Court
where the defendant does not
pay the cash the Commission-
ers’ Court has to pay it out of
the taxpayers’ funds, according
to the recent law. This month
our Commissioners’ Court was
compelled to pay over $500 cost
on cases in Justice Court. This
gives us something to ponder
over when we are kicking about,
high taxes.
The Courier regrets to record
this week the death of Charles
R. Devall, editor and publisher
of the Mt. Vernon Optic-Herald
for many years. Not only a
successful publisher and busi-
ness man, he was a prince of a
man who was loved and revered
cepting the best things she could by a host of acquaintances,
get. There are women who.! by a host of acquaintances. His
had they learned that they could
get aid from the Associated
Charities, would have been per-
fectly content to stay out of the
cotton patch and to have asked
charity to support their chil-
dren. But this woman is made
of different—and better—stuff.
She is not willing to ask help as
long as she can help herself.
She wants to be self-sustaining
and independent. That is just
how every one of us should feel.
There are many who need to be
shamed by this widow’s exam-
ple. It is inspiring to meet such
brave characters. It is also a
joy to assist such when one
knows that they deserve aid.
Personally we do not believe
that the man or woman who
will not work ought to be fed
at the expense of others. We
do not believe that the man or
woman who has spent this fall
in idleness deserves the help of
the community this winter. The
community will have all the bur-
son will continue to publish the
oaper.

PLANTING PLANS
SUGGESTED FOR
NEXT CROP YEAR

WILSON COUNTY FARM
AGENT SUGGESTS
SCHEDULE.
—•—
FLORESVILLE Oct. 20.—Prefacing
it with the modest remark that, “if
ever there was a foolish thing for an
agent to do, it is to outline a plant-
ing schedule for farms in general ov-
er the county. However, in conference
with several prominent farmers of the
county, we decided to risk the chance”
said E. D. Buck, farm agent of Wil-
son County, who launched the first
planting plan for 1932 taking cog-
nizance of the new ootton reduction
law.
"The 30 per cent cotton law does
not affect our county as a whole, bui
does affect some individual farms.
The agreement is that we do not see
a definite market. Due consideration
is given to a live-at-home plan as
well as for a live stock program. The
purpose of this is to set a stamdard
to shoot at rather than a model to
be copied," Mr. Beck stated, as he
presented the following planting ta-
ble for use as a guide to the farmers
of Wilson County:
For black land:
Cotton, 30 per cent.
Corn. 20 to 25 per cent.
Hegari, 10 to 15 per cent.
Sudan, 10 to 15 per cent.
Sorghum hay, 5 per cent.
Onions, 5 to 10 per cent.
Bla/ck eyed peas, 5 per cent.
Truck and garden, 5 per cent.
Orchard, 1 per cent.
Grazing crop of either sudan or peas
or hegari to follow peas, beans, on-
ions and melons if seasonable.
Ample oats and barley after corn,
etc., to furnish grazing for the cow,
the sow and the hen.
For Mixed Land:
Cotton, 30 per cent.
Corn, 15 to 20 per cent.
Hegari, 15 to 20 per cent.
Sudan, 10 to 15 per cent.
Sorghum, 5 per cent
Onions, 5 to 10 per cent.
Pinto?, 5 to 8 per cent.
Black eyed peas, 5 to 10 per cent.
Truck and garden, 5 per cent.
Orchard, 2 to 5 per cent.
For Good Sand Land:
Corn, 10 to 15 per cent .
Peanuts, 20 per cent.
Corn, 10 to 15 per cent.
Hegari, 15 to 20 per cent.
Sudan, 10 to 15 per cent.
Scrghum. 3 to 5 per cent.
Pinto, 5 per cent.
Bia: k eves, 10 to 20 per cent.
Truck and garden, 5 per cent.
Orchard, 3 to 5 per cent.
Melon, 10 t0 20 per cent.

DENVER, Oct. 24—Judge Robert E.
L«wis of the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals today decided the
Federal Court has no Jurisdiction )n
the legal fight of the State of Okla-
homa and the Lone Star Gas Cor-
pora-ion and allied concerns.
Judge Lewis ordered the case re-
manded to the Oklahoma State Court

cern and four allied corporations were
defrauding the State of Texas and
making false reports of their valua-

Service Company.

of Lone Star Service
It is our desire that your gas service be the best that it is possible
to render. To furnish gas service of the highest quality, for a reason-
able charge, is the endeavor of this company. Even though our
direct responsibility ends at the meter, it is a part of our service
to assist our customers by all practical means to secure the best re-
sults from the use of our product.
GAS SAVING HINTS
1
Be sure that every appliance that uses gas is properly
adjusted and operates satisfactorily.
2
Do not turn on appliances until they are needed. Stove
burners use gas from the moment they are lighted,
whether they are cooking food or not.
3
Do not try to hurry cooking or heating by turning the
gas flame too high. Do not use the large burner when
a smaller one will do
4
Keep all burners and other gas using devices clean, so
{hat every burner opening will feed its share of gas to
the flame.
5
Do not use the range oven to heat the kitchen, because
it uses twice as much gas as a small portable heater. A
small heater for the kitchen will pay for itself quickly
in gas savings.
6
Never allow hot water faucets to run or drip. The gas
wasted to heat water that runs away, in a short time,
will pay for many washers for your leaky faucets.
