The Business Men’s Luncheon
Club held its second January
meeting Thursday; Jari. 16, at
Philips Cafe at noon, With Pres-
ident J. B. Heame, Jr., presiding.
To further facilitate co-opera-
tion between the student body
of the Teague High School and
the B. M. L. Club, Rhea Clark’s
motion, seconded by Rev. A. G.
Fitzgerald, that the club extend
honorary membership to the pres-
ident of the student body was
passed unanimously. A. L. Scog-
gins, Jr., retiring president of
that body, and Kenneth Baceus,
president-elect, were guests of the
club. Both were introduced to
the group and made short talks,
Scoggins giving an illuminating
description of the manner in
which student government is
practiced at the local school.
Robt F. Riley reported on the
Soy Bean Banquet held at Corsi-
cana on the night of January 14,
at which time a full course din-
ner was served comprised entire-
Jy of soy beans and soy bean pro-
ducts—from soy bean soup to
soy bean ice cream. He quoted
several of the prominent speakers
at the Corsicana meet to the
effect the soil of this section was
admirably suited to the produc-
tion of this crop, and forecast an
increasing planting, both for home’
consumption and commercial rea-
sons.
L. Notley reported that he had
heard from Congressman Luther
A. Johnson to the effect that the
project for a gymnasium here
had been approved by the proper
parties,,-j|tnd as soon as funds
were available, work would "prob-
abl$’ start. This news was re-
ceived enthusiastically by he
club.
Following other brief discus-
sions of minor business, the meet-
ing adjourned.
BOTTER SECURES Mn.iv,
“SHOW OF FAMOUS HENRY
FOR BAND BENEFIT
BOYS’ 4-H CLUBS NOW’
BEING ORGANIZED
IN THE COUNTY
By( the County Agent.
A series of discussions on boys’
4-H club work is being held by
County Agent J. W. Richardson.
Jr., in schools over the county to
get rural boys interested in the
work and to organise clubs.
A meeting was held ih -:he
Donie schools Tuesday afternoon,
Jan. 14. Thirty-four boys were
present and all of them indicated
that they were interested in or-
ganizing a club and that they
would * endeavor to. get the per-
mission of their parents to have
an agricultural project in order
that they might become members
of the club. Mr. Kerr, vocational
agriculture teacher, has volun-
teered to be the club leader.
A similar meeting was held in
the. Dew school on Thursday af-
ternoon, Jan. 16, at which 50 boys
were present. Practically- all of
these also indicated that they
would like to - become members
of a boys’ 4-H club. Mr. Tedley.
agricultural teacher, will be the
club leader.
Both these clubs will be organ-
ized within the next week.
Other schools are being con-
tacted end will be visited as soon
as possible
In view of the fact that the
Texas Centennial, at Dallas is set-
ting aside A large amount of
space and prize money for 4-H
clubs, this should be one of
Texas’ best years for club work,
and Freestone county boys should
come in for their share of the
honors.
W. J. Botter, Jr., energetic
band director of the local schools,
has secured one of the foremost
entertainment attractions avail-
able for this section in getting
Henry, the Magician, to pay
Teague a return visit. This show
will- be put on at the high school
auditorium, Thursday night, J-m
uary 30. Popular prices will pre-
vail. ’
As is customary with all magi-
cians, each season finds new and
more mystifying illusions perfect-
ed for the amazement of the
audience. Teague patrons of the
mystical and Illusory will remem-
ber that one of Henry’s most
popular stunts on hi3 last visit
here was that of painting with
colored sand. It is probable that
this may again be included.
Henry’s line of patter, ac-
companying the illusions, is
smooth, interesting, and entertain-
ing. Never does he appear bored
with what must be the umpteenth
time to repeat some particular
trick—giving a zest to his acts
that many others have vainly
tried to copy.
‘ The proceeds of this show, ac-
cording to Director Botter, will be
utilized in helping to pay for
some of the instruments bonghl
by the school for use in the band
and orchestra.
* January 30 is the date; Henry
is the show; the band gets the
profit.

Fenner Roth, NYA representa-
tive, spent Wednesday in Free-
stone county checking - on youth
projects already under -.vay and
planning with the local NYA ad-
visory board community projects
which will furnish employment to
youth in relief families and 6* of
permanent benefit to youth gen-
erally when completed.
Mr. Roth also visited a numbei
of county and school officials,
and government agencies, ex-
plaining the functions of the Na-
tional Youth Administration to
these leaders.
The NYA, an agency within
the WPA, has within a short time
and with a limited budget, al-
ready assisted 15,000 Texas
youths to attend high school i>nti
college, has established a number
of Freshman College Centers for
youth financially unable to attend
college, conducted to successful
conclusion three summer camps
for unemployed women, ano
placed hundred of youths on pnrt-
time jobs on WPA projects.
Mr. Roth explained that the
community recreation program is
now ready for development and
that Texas has been allotted ap-
proximately a half million dollars
for the development of recrea-
tional, rural, public service, and
research projects for the training
and employment of needy youth.
These projects, when completed,
will.be of permanent benefit to
all youths of the community.
“The share of funds received by
each county for this program de-
pends partly upon the need in the
county, and to a large extent
upon the interest and co-operation
of its citizens. Freestone county
has 25 young men and 26 young
women between the ages of 16
and 25, who will be eligible for
work projects under the NYA
program.
In Teague nine boys have been
assigned on the park project
sponsored by the B. and P. W.
Club, with Mrs. W. J. Stringer as
supervisor, and six boys on the
school campus improvement, un-
der supervision of Principal U.
C. Gregory. This will mean that
15 local boys will be provided
with work for several weeks from
the beginning of the NYA work
in this county within ten days or
two weeks. This Work, -of course,

23.—The
Washing-
ton i3 asking everybody else is:
I .“What sort of a substitute for
AAA is the Administration go-
ing to turn outr* ^
Nobody knows the exact an-
l swer as yet, but a good many
straws in the wind give some in-
dication of what is being planned.
The first straw was President
Roosevelt’s statement that he was.
not in favor of atr export deben-
ture plan, which would, as he
puts it, amount to making., a
present to Europer bf the fertility
of our soil. In other words,
what is being sought for is a
method of crop control baaed
upon the necessity of land con-
servation.
The representatives of the farm
organizations who were sum-
moned to meet in Washington are
united on the plan that the so-
called marginal lands should be
Withdrawn from commercial pro-
duction, through rental or equita-
ble rates, of such land as may be
necessary to promote conservation
of soil fertility and to hying
about a balance of domestic pro-
duction at profitable prices.
Maybe Domestic Allotments.
Instead of export bounties, it ir
regarded as probable that the Ad-
ministration will propose a do-
mestic allotment system based ftn
bounties to farmers on the pro-
portion of ‘ their crops consumed
at home. This has been consid-
ered by Congress many times in
the past but never as part of a
nation-wide comprehensive plan.
The Supreme Court’s decision
in the AAA case did not negative
processing taxes as such, but
only the allotment of processing
funds to a special class or group.
It- is held that processing1 taxes
are entirely within the power of
Congress, provided the money so
collected goes into the general
revenues, and that Congress has
a right to appropriate, from gen-
eral revenues, funds for the pay-
ment of bounties to farmers for
soil conservation and other pur-
poses.
- The idea of soil conservation
has been one of President Roose-'
velt’s -pets for a long time. On
0<;t. 25 he indicated it as the
basis of any long-term and per-
manent agricultural adjustment
program, and pointed out that
benefits could made to encourage
individual farmers to adopt sound
farm management, crop rotation
and soil conservation methods. He
was talking then of the more or
less distant future, but it would
appear that the Supreme Couit’s
decision may force the immediate
adoption of such a plan.
Cotton and Rice Suits.
The dismissal last week by the
Supreme Court of the 3uit
brought to declare the Bankhead
Cotton Control Act, invalid had
no relation to the m"is of the
case. It was dismissed m a tech-
nicality, as having not been
brought before the Court in a
proper and legal maniver.,
In the case of the Louisiana
rice millers who had obtained an
injunction in the lower courts r-
against the collection by tho
Government of processing taxes,
the Supreme Court ordered the
return to the millers of ab mt
$200,000,000 which they
posited with the courts
