BEATING THE DROUTH
Hemphill County women, members of home demonstra-
tion clubs, are next week starting the 'Study of gardens.
Many of?these women already have prepared the ground
and are. a waiting the first opportunity to plant the seed.
More sub-irrigated gardens are being planned this
year' by the county women 'than ever before. This will,
insure proper irioisture and is almost certain to bring good
results. No doubt, many vegetables can be grown this way
that could not be raised under most favorable conditions.

TWO-YEAR-OLD SON OF MRS.

NARROW ESCAPE
More than 25 per cent of the
population of Canadian attended
Sunday school at one of the local
churches last Sunday, according
to a report made to The Record
this week.
It appears that the Sunday
schools cf the town are being bet-
ter attended than ever before.
There was a total of 458 in six
Sunday schools of the city last
Sunday. Taking the 1930 federal
census as a basis of population
for Canadian, this 458 is consider-
ably more than 25 per cent.
The Baptist Sunday school had
the largest enrollment for that
day. Its number was 153; the
Methodist 116, Christian 82, Pres-
byterian 56, .Nazarene 26, Church
of Christ 25. Each school reports
it is attempting to' get as many
of the grown-ups to attend the
Sunday school services as is pos-
sible.

According to information re-
ceived here the state will, assume
the burden of retiring county and
road district bonds; issued for road
building under one bill. The state
also will assume the cost of fur-
ther construction and mprovement
of all highways, contingent on
the counties .furnishing the right-
of-way. .
Judge Helton estimates the ad
valorem tax in Hemphill County
would be reduced 68 cents on $100
valuation as a result of such leg-
islation.
House bill No. 325, introduced
by Representative Harold Beck of
Texarkana, creates in the. state
treasury a special county,and road
district highway fund to assume
the bond burden. It allocates 25
per cent of revenues from the
gasoline tax to the available school
fund; 35 per cent to the county
and road district highway fund;
the remainder to the state high-
way fund.. .

Representative Lonnie Alsup of
Carthage, adds 1 cent to the state
gasoline tax to guarantee suffi-
cient revenues to make real the
proposed reduction in county tax

Road debts of counties and dis-
tricts maturing prior to January
1, 1936, excluding such, debts now
being assumed by the state board
of county and district road in-
