because evaporative coolers and

here!
THE OLDEST landmark in this
art of the country burned last
eek. The old homestead of Rev.
H Bounds between Wortham
r.d Mexia burned in the pie-
awn hours last Wednesday The
ouse was built in 1867 and had
ithstood all sorts of weather,
mown lots of joy and sorrow
[through the years The fire start-
led sometime between 2:30 and
p 30 a m from undetermined orig-
in and the Mexia Fire Department
iwhich was summoned by a pass-
irg truck driver, didn't reach the
Irene in time to save anything1
but the fence posts surrounding
the house.
The lumber was hauled to the
homesite by ox drawn wagons,
from Palestine when the Bounds
home was built and because landj
and labor were so cheap in thosei
days, land worth about $1 00 per)
rcre, Rev, Bounds paid the build-j
er, a Mr, Dunbar, two acres of,
land per day to build the house.|
We were unable to find out how
many days it took to build it. but
evidently Mr, Dunbar made him-
self quite a lot of land.
The home, which has been
[ owned by Mr M. S. Bounds, a
I grandson of the late Rev Bounds,)
9 for many years has been occupied
* by Mike Sterling Mr Sterling
' was away from home and had|
been for several days at the time
of the fire and everything he
owned was destroyed
WORK HAS BEGUN on th*
new home of Mrs Oliver Bur-
leson across the street from the
Van Hook Stubbs home and with
the coming of these wonderful
sunny days other n<iw homes will
soon be taking form IN OUR
TOWN This is the time of year)
that we all enjoy remodeling, re-
decorating and gardening. The(
Logan Crews yard certainly looks
wonderful these days and it must
be very satisfying to Frances be-j
cause she spends a lot of hours,
working in it.
THIS SUNDAY. May 8, wUl be
one of the most important days
of the year—Mother's Day. One
of the dearest and most priceless
earthly possessions we have is
our mother. The one day each
year that is meant especially for
mother is really not enough—ev-
ery day should be mother’s day.
MRS ERNEST JONES, »*nior
class sponsor, and Mr, and Mrs.
Marian Mathison returned Sun-
day afternoon with a bus load of
tired seniors from the annual
senior trip to Craterville State
Park in Oklahoma. They had a
wonderful time, but OUR TOWN
looked good to- them when they
returned The next important
event of the year will be the
junior-senior banquet and then
the end of school!
SHOULD BE hearing tom*
more fish tales before the end of
the week. J. C. Goolsby, Bro. Coe

church Sunday evening for Black

have to use the oars to fight them
off! We’ll see!

that give farm commodities
same buying or purchasing^pow-
er the commodities had in a se-
lected base period when prices
received and paid by farmers
were considered to be in good
balance. The purchasing power i
measured in terms of prices o
commodities that farmers buy;
interest on farm indebtedness se
cured by farm real estate; taxes
on farm real estate and for com-
modities to which modernized
formula is applicable such as cash
wage rates paid hired farm la-
bor. Support, prices for the basic
commodities are mandatory and
this group is comprised of corn,
cotton, wheat, rice, tobacco and
peanuts. The prices are supported
by loans, purchase and purchase
agreements of the Department of
Agriculture to remove certain of
the commodities from the open
market in order that the supply
and demand will maintain and
guarantee a certain price return
to the producer.
This program has resulted in
surpluses of many commodities
and surpluses have been the sub-
vert of many heated and contro-
versial arguments within the halls
of Congress. Personally. I do not
know where this country would
be today had we not had the sur-
pluses of food commodities dur-
ing World War II Nevertheless,
surpluses are nothing new. Ex-
cept in occasional v^ars of na-
tion-wide drought, we have al-
ways had surpluses. We could
not help having them in this rich
fertile land which is ours in the
United States. But. these surplus-
es have always proved most dis-
astrous to agriculture.
Until 1933, nothing was done
by the government to relieve the
distress arising out of surpluses
and prices were left to seek their
own level on the world markets.,
We had protective tariffs on meat
grain1 and various farm product',
hut since our surpluses wer° sold
abroad, the protective tariff pro-
vision did not protect and the net
selling nrire of the surplus de-
termined the price of the entire
product. Consequently, our Amer-
ican farmers got just what we
would have gotten had he him-
and sold in an open market.
The bill which^the House will
be called upon to consider is de-
signed to reverse the present re-
ession in agriculture, and the
farmers of the Sixth District
know too well that there is a
recession. It will, as near as pos-
sible, prevent a breakdown in the
major operations of the overall
farm progTam that has since 1933
benefitted directly or indirectly
85 to 90 per cent of all farmers
producing crops or tending live-
stock. The economic distress of
the farms in this country has re-
sulted in a damaging impact on
our nation’s eeonomv and in
manv portions of the country has
resulted in unemployment among
workers in the cities. Finally, it
is designed to maintain a level
of income in agriculture which
will enable the farmer to
stay on the farm, conserve and
improve his soil which is our .most
basic and indispensable natural
resource, This will assure con-
tinued abundance of food and
fiber for American people and
the peoples of the world at fair
prices to consumers and meet the
needs of national defense.
The major provisions of the bill
will restore for 1955, 1956 and
1957 the 90 per cent of parity
price supports on five basic crops:
wheat, corn, cotton, rice and pea-
nuts. This would repeal the pro-
vision of the Agricultural Act of
1954 which instituted the sliding
scale or “flexible type” priee
support for these crons at 82M>
to 90 per cent of parity in 1955
and permitted the supports to
drop as low as 75 per cent of pnr-
itv in 1956.
Further provisions of the bill
will place the minimum level of
support for dairy products at 80
per cent of parity instead of 75
per cent as under present law.
And additional sum of money is
authorized for expenditure i.n the
school milk program and the en-
tire program will he extended for
an additional year The program
for eradication of brucellosis in
dairy herds is extended until
June 30. 1958.
For wheat, an alternative two
priee system is set up. It will
authorize producers to hold a
referendum on whether to aceept
the existing priee support pro-
gram for wheat or a two price
program under which wheat con-
sumed domestieallv as human
food would he supported a* 100
per epnt of paritv. and that going
into other domestic uses and into
export would sell at world prices.

FROM THE
DOG HOUSE
Seems the seniors were having
trouble keeping their eyes open
Menday morning after they re
turned from their trip to Cralgr-
ville, Okla. It has been reported
that Mary Nell found someone to
talk to Saturday night, and she
hated to see the bus pull off so
soon. Seems he was nearly break-
ing his neck to get to the bus be-
fiwe it left, but Mr. Mathison just
didn't understand. On the other
hand the boys had a gay old time
chasing rattlesnakes up and down
the mountain side. Seems Charles
Fletes got lost and couldn't find,
his way back to the cabin, and
it took some brave stepping sen-
iors to bring him back to the
fold. All in all, I thing each
bruise, scratch and wet spat from
the water gun will always be re-
membered by cacti one.
The juniors are putting the
final touches on their banquet
They are madly rushing to finish
before the deadline, and even
have to get some sophomores to
help tell them how to do some-
thing everv once in a while.
Young Life was held at the
Willard home last Monday night
with about 20 present. It was de-
rided that next week’s meeting
would be the last until school
takes up again.
The office has been getting its
quota of bewildered boys this
week, They go in smiling and
come out in a somewhat differ-
ent nature, I can't imagine what
happens to all of those grins.
