for hogs that make breakfast bacon,
small hams and shoulders. Many
counties in Texas are re-stocking the
farms with breeds of hogs that grow
readily and meet the new demand of
the packers.
Mr. Rice offers to furnish farmers
of Hopkins County a car load of
nice gilts at wholesale price from the
stockyards at Kansas City, if the
farmers will authorize him to do so.
There is a wide difference in the
markets on the kind of hog sold, just
as there is a big difference on the
kind of meat1 sold. If you are inter-
ested in growing hogs for the mar-
ket it will pay you to see Prof. Rice
or County Agent C. M. Harvin. No
county in all Texas is better suited
for growing hogs than old Hopkins,
with its abundance of fine water and
branch bermuda bottom land pas-
tures.

BOSE BERRY MAY RUN FOR
STATE SENATE
PEA GROWERS TO ORGANIZE
NEXT MONDAY
The pea growers of Hopkins
County are called to meet at the
Chamber of Commerce rooms’ next
Monday at 2 p. m. to form a county-
wide pea growers association.
This is the greatest move launch-
ed in Hopkins County since the Echo
man hit this old town from the
Windy West more than 14 years ago.
No county in all Texas is better suit-
ed for growing peas than the sandy
and loamy land of old Hopkins, and
there is no greater money crop in all
the State. Thousands of dollars are
brought in to Hopkins County from
year to year as the trucks come into
Sulphur Springs from early in the
summer till late in the fall and carry
green and threshed peas to the black
land belt where they are always in
demand.
The new move is to organize pea
growers on a larger scale and plan
for a more.-./v^vstematic wholesale
market. Peas fnay not enrich the
farmers of Hopkins County, as thege
is no crop grown that does that now.
However, the pea crop is now and
will continue to be one of the most
profitable crops grown in the county
and at the same time is the greatest
crop known to build up the farm
lands. Peas are easily cultivated and
grow on thin lands. Any fellow with
sandy or loamy land can grow peas.
The Echo man knows his okra on
the pea industry. We advise our old
friends Bose Berry, Attorney Gener-
al Elmer Teer, Gene Williams and
Choppy Pearson to get to growing
peas in their gardens. Sam Moore,
Buck Marshall and John Stribling
ought to plant a few peas. None of
the above named gentlemen will
ever grow peas for the market but
it requires less work to grow peas
than anything grown in the garden
or on the farm, and picking peas is
now, always has been and will con-
tinue to be the duty of the house-
. wife.
A MOVE FGjR BETTER HOGS IN
HOPKINS COUNTY
Prof. Walter W. Rice of the A. &
M. College is in Hopkins County
this week in the interest of-the swine
industry. The hog market has under-
gone a change along with markets
for other farm products. The old fat-
Bose Berry who was born and
raised over at McNeil, Arkansas, is
getting jealous of the fine agricul-
tural articles written from day to
day by the Echo man and also our
heavy editorials on the happenings
down ■ at Austin. All the Echo man
has to say is, that he is telling the
truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth about farm life and the
legislature. To show that the Echo
man is fair and square with the
whole world and only interested in
the general welfare of his fellowman,
we are now opening up our editorial
page for a discussion by Brother
Bose. Let’s go, Bose. Tell the world
what you know about farming, but
please don’t go too heavy on that
Arkansas stuff. Also tell what you
want the legislature to do. It might
be that after a few heavy articles
you would be in line to succeed
County Agent C. M. Harvin as lead-
er of the agricultural forces of Hop-
kins, or better still, you might make
a good representative or state sen-
ator down at Austin.
Tell us what you know, Brother
Bose. The whole paper is open to
you, just so you don’t go too heavy
on your experience on the farm in
Arkansas. Senator Bose Berry from
Hopkins County, with an A1 Smith
derby hat, a gold-headed cane and
his fine little bull dog, Dynamo, on
the streets of Austin would not look
bad to us.
That you should make boosting a
habit, with the home city as the
worthy object.
You should want it to be solid and
progressive and that it be known
everywhere as a live, up-to-date,
growing city.
Now is the time for every citizen
to get busy and stay busy helping
themselves by helping their city.
You should, not be a quiet booster;
be a live, active booster and let
everyone know where you stand.
It does not pay to take too much
for granted. Just because the out-
look seems good is no sign that your
city will get its -full share of every-
thing.
It takes organized effort on the
part of all citizens to do things
worth while. It takes the same kind
of effort to get things worth while.
A city should aim to be success-
ful in everything it undertakes.

Hubbard said the- outstanding
county obligations would be paid off
by the state as they matured with
the county refunds paid in ten an-
nual installments.
The amendment would permit the
Highway Department to use as much
as $20,000,000 annually from the
fund set aside for construction. He
argued this would permit the state to
decrease maintenance costs by com-
pleting its primary system of hard-
surfaced highways.
of Rep. Dewey Young of Wellington,
drafted along the same line but go-
ing a little farther.
Under Young’s amendment all the
counties would be reimbursed for
money expended on state designated
highways. The outstanding bonds
would be assumed by the state with
the counties to be reimbursed for the
portion of the bonds paid off.
This also would be carried out
with current revenues.
Young said there was less demand
for a state highway bond issue this
session than there was two years ago
Hubbard estimated the saving in and predicted the bond issue faction

I LEGISLATURE
OYER ROAD BONDS
Austin, Feb. 17.—Sponsors of the
road bond issue are girding their
loins for a bitter battle when the
constitutional amendment proposing
to permit the electorate to vote on
the question is brought out on the
floor of the House and Senate.
One main obstacle has been over-
come. Leaders of the bond issue
movement in both houses have reach-
ed an agreement on the plan that
will be pushed in both houses. The
leaders are Senator Walter Woodul
of Houston and Representative R.
M. Hubbard of New Boston. Agree-
ment of Woodul to the plan was ta-
ken to indicate that it also would re-
ceive the stamp of approval from
Governor R. S. Sterling in the event
it passes both houses.
Hubbard declared that in the
event the amendment did not pass
the House and the Senate this ses-
sion, it‘would next session. The hard-
est hurdle will be to get it past the
House, Hubbard said, expressing the
belief it will be passed by the peo-
ple if it is submitted.
The lines are tightly drawn with
several riding the fence and in
doubt as to which way to jump. The
direction of their jump was expected
to determine the issue.
Under the plan agreed by Woodul
and Hubbard, the issue would be
limited to $200,000,000 with $100',-
000,000, or as much thereof as need-
ed, set aside to reimburse the coun-
ties and assume the payment of out-
standing bonds and warrants. Money
received by the counties as reim-
bursement would be used solely for
decreasing taxes levied to pay off
bonds voted 'for lateral road con-
struction.
If there were no outstanding
bonds or warrants’ for lateral road
construction, the refund would be
666
maintenance costs would pay an ap-
preciable portion of the bond issue.
The administration plan is to pay
for the bonds through a tax on gaso-
line or other source of powej: used to
propel motor vehicles on the high-
way. The bonds would not become a
lien against farms, homes or other
property and the school fund would
continue to receive one-fourth of the
money received from the gasoline
tax.
Hubbard estimated the Highway
Department would have $18,000,000
yearly left for construction and
maintenance from funds received
from the gasoline tax after the sink-
ing fund and interest on the bond
issue had been set up. In addition
the department would have revenue
from license fees and Federal aid.
Several members of the House ex-
pressed themselves as being in favor
of the plan advanced in a bill drawn
by Representative Coke Stevenson
of Junction whereby the state would
purchase the roads from the coun-
ties for the outstanding bonded in-
debtedness of the county, proceeds
of which were used on state high-
ways. Under Stevenson’s plan, no
money would be refunded to coun-
ties that had paid off their indebt-
edness. Counties that had paid off a
part of the bonded indebtedness
would receive nothing for' the part
paid off, the state merely assuming
that portion of the bond issue still
unpaid.
The retirement of the bonds, un-
der Stevenson’s bill, would be made
from current revenue and would not
necessitate a bond issue. Stevenson
said that what the counties needed
was immediate relief of tax burdens
and state assumption of outstanding
road bond obligations would materi-
ally decrease taxes.
Opponents of this bill contend it
is unconstitutional and that the state
cannot pay off by this method. In
addition, Hubbard claimed it was
manifestly unfair to counties that
placed their nose to the grindstone
and had started paying off their
bonds.
The anti-bond issue bloc has de-
termined to support the Stevenson
bill, which would practically elimi-
nate the bond issue amendment. In
the event the Stevenson bill is held
unconstitutional, the anti-bloc will
push tho constitutional amendment
would be left “high, wide and hand-
some with no props to sustain them.”
Young voted for submission of the
amendment two years ago. Recent
thought on the problem, however,1
has convinced him there is no need
for1 a state bond issue, he said..
“It was bonds that bankrupted the
counties and it probably would do
the same for the state. In addition,
state bonds are non-taxable and it
would be creating a large fund of
non-taxable securities,” Young said.
McKelvie is not believed to wish re-
appointment.
Should all four—Legge, Teague,
Schilling and McKelvie—leave this
summer, the board would then have
only four mei^ who were original
were
members, Charles S. Wilson, C. B.
Denham, Carl Williams, and Vice

SILVER-HAIRED
WO MAN JAILED
FOR DOPE HAUL
REPORT LEGGE
WILL RESIGN
AFTER MARCH 4
Washington, Feb. 16.-—Alexander
Legge, Chicago, will resign as chair-
man of the Federal Farm Board
shortly after March 4, it was report-
ed on reliable authority Saturday
night.
Other shakeups in the membership
of the board are expected about
June 15th, second aniversary of the
board, when the terms of Commis-
sioners Samuel R. McKelvi and Wil-
liam F. Schilling, expire, and when
Commissioner Charles C. Teague also
is expected to resign.
Legge has served as chairman
since the board’s inception - in July,
1929. He believes the major por-
tion of the work the board under-
took — stabilization of American
agriculture through the organiza-
tion of farmer-owned co-operative
marketing outfits—has been done,
and he is anxious to get back to
his implement business, the Inter-
national Harvester Compafiy, of
which he was president.
Teague, who Was reappointed last
June for a full six year term, is in
much the same position. He wishes
to resume his posts as president of
the California Fruit Growers Ex-
change and president of the Cali-
fornia Walnut Growers Exchange,
the latter of which he organized.
While Schilling is understood to
be seeking reappointment, there has
been no comment forthcoming from
the White House that this is assured.
Dallas, Texas, Feb. 16.—A gray-
haired mother was arrested by Dep-
uty Sheriffs and placed in the county
jail early Sunday morning in con-
nection with the seizure last Friday
of more than two ounces of mor-
phine in a sack of groceries deliver-
ed by a messenger at the county
jail.
The deputies traced the woman
through the records of the company
from which the messenger boy was
employed. Sheriff Hal Hood said the
woman used the name of another in
sending the package. The woman
whose name was used told deputies
the one responsible for sending the
dope to the jail.
The woman is the mother of a man
who was placed in the county jail
^a week ago on a charge of robbery
with firearms. Another of her sons
is said to be charged with murder in
among the groceries. The morphine
was worth about $500.

Here’s a way to be rid of constipation
and its ills—a way that works quickly,
effectively, but gently.
A candy Cascaret at night—-the next
morning you’re feeling fine. Breath is
sweetened; tongue cleared; biliousness,
headaches, dizziness, gas vanish. Repeat
the treatment two or three nights to get
the souring waste out of your system.
See how appetite and energy return;
how digestion improves.
The action of Cascarets Is sure, com-
plete, helpful to everyone. They are
made from cascara, which doctors agree
actually strengthens bowel muscles.. All
