This is a year when every acre badly needed for the cotton to
possible should be planted to a
soil-building crop of some kind.
Feeds are high-priced and so are
fertilizers, and the_ man who
grows these instead of buying
them will be laying the firfnest
kind of a foundation for a future
prosperity.

School Teachers’ Salaries.
ro James Steph-
it that Texas
was short-sighted
business iglity in paying nig-
gardly salaries to its school
teachers. The great governor,
who was distinguished for his
.clear-headed common sense and
for his broad and enlightened
patriotism, said that we could
not expect to have good schools
tin lefts we paid for them and it
was poor economy to under pay
teachers.
“School* teachers’ salaries,”
says the Daily Oklahoman in an
ironic vein, “range from $30 a
month up, but not far enough up
to ipake * them dizzy. 1 On her
salary, the teacher must dress
nicely^boy herselfcthings for her
work which the city is. too poor
•to get, go to twenty-nine lectures
and concerts a year, buy helpful
books on pedagogy, pay her way
to district, county and state in-
stitutes, and enjoy herself dur-
ing a three months’ vacation
which her salary takes every
year. In addition, the teacher is
supposed to hoard away vast
sums of money, so that when she
becomes too nervous and cross to
.teach, at the.age of 50 or there-
abouts, she can retire and live
happily ever after on her in-
_ •• - V ’.'***-' - ,; •' • r- V-
come.
When we remember that the
average teacher has under her
control for five or six hours a day
thirty or forty boys and girls, we
can not fail to-marvel how it is
possible for her not to become
*‘100 nervous and cross to teach”
atJleast-twenty years before she
reaches tbe age of 50. t *
Take the average small boy,
the most lovable of his kind, and
the average little girl, the sweet-
est of her species. Multiply eafh
of them by 20 and herd the 40
boys and girls in one room. Then
imagine spending six hours a day
with them from September until
June. Take the nicest kid you
know and picture yourself tied
up in a room with tirty or forty
qf him or her; answering their
questions; showing them how to
work it the way it is worked, in
the book; setting them right on
“‘has went” and “have saw;”
explaining why a little state like
Rhode Island has two capitals—
if it has two—and why Texas has
no more United States senators
than Delaware; teaching them to
be honest and upright and brave
and truthful and manly and
womanly. Imagine all this and
then picture yourself worrying
until you are “50 or thereabouts.f ’
And then picture to yourself
- k * -
tbe task of studing at one time
forty.characters in the process of
formation. If you have! ever
watched the growth and develop-
ment of a child’s mind and char-
acter you know how plastic they
are; how sensitive to impressions
of good and evil; how easy to
mold and shape. You know
what a tremendous responsibility
it is to gbide the making ,of one
future citizen, and you know that
these teachers wield an influence
hardly second to that of parents
on the making of character.
From tne youngest and most
inexperienced teacher in the
smallest school in Texas to the
head of our greatest university,
our teachers are underpaid, no
matter what salaries they gep.
We are singularly shortsighted
and unbusinesslike when we do
not pay Adequate salaries that
will attract and keep the best
talent We are unfair not only
to the teachers themselves, but
to ourselv^and to our children.

Hallettsville Postal Receipts.
While the total receipts for lo-
cal postoffice for the year ending
March 31 show slight dexrrease
for previous year, thequarter for
January, February and March
was best in history of office and
the money order business for
quarter also showed a big in-
crease, 3588 orders being issued
and 1998 paid, * while for same
period previous year 306 were is-
sued and 1978 paid! $176.49 was
collected in money on second
class matter (newspapers), and
the postmaster is of the opinion
that no other small second class
office in all United States can
equal this.
j fat stock and an ample living for
i the family should be the pri-
mary considerations,
j Let’s see where we can use the
j soil-building crops to advantage:
First, there comes the bat and
wheat fields, where the crops
will be harvested in May and
June. The man who fails to
have a crop of peas, beans or
clover after his crops of small
grain is simply neglecting the
biggest source of profit, for the
feed and soil fertility that come
from such crops often mean more
per acre than the grain crop.
Then not a single acre of corn
should be laid by without having
peas sown in the middle, or in
the southern part of the^ cotton
belt velvet beans may be planted
about the time the corn is plant-
. ed, or just after. A corn field
without peas, beans or peanuts

things decided to have a dance

Monday was well attended, they

Then this fall, from seed saved
during the next two months, ev-

ed to clover or vetch.
Plafit the legumes everywhere
this year. If you have the seed,
so much the better; but if neces-
sary, buy them, for you will find
few investments more profitable.
Then next fall, whether cotton
be low or high in price, you will
