Tyler, Tex., Aug. 5—Tyler's new
$350,000 postoffice and Federal
building was dedicated Saturday;
night with appropriate ceremonies.
Congressman Morgan G. Sanders
of the Third District, who was the
principal speaker, touching on Fed-
eral appropriations, remarked that
one school of thought believes any
outlay for government buildings at
Washington is evidence of states-
manship, and that another holds
that spending money for Federal
courthouses and postoffices is pork.
He declared, however, that he
would continue obtaining postoffic-
es for cities needing them in his
district regardless of what was
thought.
W. M. Roberts, chairman of the
chamber of commerce Federal
building committee, presided at the
ceremonies. A band concert by the
Tyler municipal band preceded the
rites.
Among other speakers were Post-
master J. B. Miller, D. H. Rankin
chairman of the City Commission
and Col. T. N. Jones, who intro
duced Congressman Sanders.

Full endorsement of the agricul-
tural adjustment administration
and a pledge of co-operation to car-
ry out its program through the
•present emergency measures and
later through a permanent program
was unanimously adopted by sever-
al hundred farmers from all sec-
tions of Texas at the annual mem-
bership meeting of the Texas Cot-
ton Co-operative Association in
Dallas Friday. The administration
of President Roosevelt was also
commended as "eminently wise and
efficient and strictly in favor of the
masses and not the classes."
The meeting, declaring there is
lack of proper warehousing facili-
ties over the State, "urged upon the
incoming Legislature the necessity
of enacting an adequate warehouse
law." Millions of dollars worth of
farm products, it was stated have
been wasted because of the lack of
‛ such facilities.
Commissioner of Agriculture J. E.
McDonald, E. H. Linsteader, Dallas,
general manager of the Texas Cot-
ton Co-operative Association, Sen-
ator N. C. Williamson, president of
the American Cotton Co-operative
Association of New Orleans, and
Homer D. Wade of Dallas, execu-
tive secretary of the Texas Co-op-
erative Council were the principal
speakers.
Resolutions were unanimously
adopted to the effect that “the par-
ity price on cotton, 15c per pound,
is not only essential bift should be
speedily granted.”
Directors elected to serve during
the year were as follows: Fritz En-
gelhard of Eagle Lake, J. B. Jam-

Garland R. Farmer, editor and
publisher of the Henderson Times,
and candidate for Congress from
the Third District during the re-
cent campaign, has made this an-
nouncement to the voters:
"From the unofficial returns
now available, it appears that I
have been eliminated from the race
for Congress, but I hasten to ex-
press my sincerest appreciation
the support given me.
"Particularly am I proud of the
vote given me by my home town
of Henderson and home county of
Rusk. The latter gave me a 709 ma-
jority over all my three opponents.
The four voting boxes in Hender-
son gave me over three times as
many votes as the other three can-
didates.
"I wish to also thank those from
over the district for the telegrams
telephone calls and letters com-
mending me for the clean race I
tried to run. ।
"While defeat is never welcomed,
I feel the race has not been with-
out compensation, for I shall ever
hold sacred the memory of the loy-
alty of my friends and neighbors
and am happy to have formed
many friendships I believe will last
for years to come."

was the warning sounded by Dean
E. J. Kyle of the school of agricul-
ture, in an address at the twenty-
fifth annual farmers short course
at Texas A. & M. College.
"In spite of the fact that the
south produced, until the last few
years, over 50 per cent of the
world's supply of cotton,” he said

they were virtually in control of

The principal reason for this is that
they have had to sell in an open
market and buy in a closed market
through the working of an iniquit
ous tariff.
“The farmers of this country," he
added, “have borne on their backs
