LOCK SPEAKER
AT LIONS CLUB
The government's bold adventure
into aleviation of suffering of des-
titute humanity is a humanitarian
one, and yet a dangerous move,
said Arthur R. Lock, for more than
a year relief administrator here,
speaking before the Lions club at
noon. The program is dangerous
because no convenient place for
dropping it can be found. He trac-
ed development of the various
phases of the relief program and
gave enthusiastic support to the
Roosevelt recovery program.
In Mexia there are 417 families
on the relief rolls, receiving ap-
proximately $1000 per week for
groceries, $100 weekly for medi-
cine, and $60 weekly for clothing.
A work program is soon to be in-
augurated.
Paul Cohen, Teague musician,
entertained with a group of violin
numbers which were well received,
as were solo numbers of another
Teague artist, Tommy Call, saxo-
phonist. Miss Moore was accom-
panist. D. D. Withrow had cnargc
of the program. G. E. Blair and
Frank Beeson will have charge of
next week's program, and J. M. El-
ir and Max Altman the week fol-
lowing.
MACHINERY IS
READY TO WORK
BANKHEAD LAW
COLLEGE STATION, <Sp)—
The same machinery will be used
to administer the Bankhead act in
the counties as was employed ;a
the cotton acreage reduction pro-
gram, the Agricultural Adjust-
ment Administration has advised
O. B. Martin, Extension Service
director at Texas A&M College.
County cotton preduction control
associations set up under the re-
duction program will have charge
of making individual cotton allot-
ments the next cotton year be-
ginning June 1, during which the
Bankhead Act will operate.
Under the new act, the AAA
points out, Texas may gin and
sell 3,091,200 bales tax free.
All in excess of this must pay
a tax of 50% of the average mar-
ket price for 7-8 inch middling
as proclaimed from time to time
by the Secretary of Agriculture.
At no time can this tax be -ess
than 5 cents a pound. The act
limits the American production
to 10 million bales a year.
As far as possible, contract
signers will be given the same al-
lotments as indicated in their
contracts, but these may be rai-
sed or lowered according to the
county allotments assigned by the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture. The allotted bales are
to be given tax exemption certifi-
cates on application to county
cotton committees as soon as the
forms are received and machin-
ery set up. Those who did not
sign production contracts may
also apply for and receive farm
allotments and tax exemption er-
tificates covering same, but they
will not share in the rental and
parity payments given operators.
The Texas allotment is based
on the ratio of the average 5
year production for 1928-32 to tha
average national production for
this period. Not less than 90%
of the State allotment is to be
allotted to the counties, the re-
mainder being reserved for ne-
cessary adjustments to take care
of special cases. Allowance is to
be made for crop failures in the
counties, where it can be estab-
lished that the failure is due to
an unusual cause. Washington ad-
vices point out that in some sec-
tions, flood and drouths are not
unusual. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture ha1* a
cotton history of every county
for guidance in deciding where
special adjustments should be
made.
The first duty of every produ-
cer under the law is to apply for
bale tags for all cotton produced
prior to this season now in pos-
session of the farmer. As soon
as county production control as-
sociations have the forms the
farmer should apply for exemp-
tion certificates for his allotted
cotton for 1934-35. The final date
for application for these ceraifi-
cates has not yet been determined
Every bale of American cotton
entering trade channels in .he
cotton year 1934-35 must have a
bale tag which the farmer may
obtain either by surrendering his
exemption certificate or by pay-
ing the tax.
The amount of tfie tax in ef-
fect at the time the cotton is
ginned regardless of when it is
sold. If stored and held for a
year or more it must still pay
the tax.
Ootton of 1V4 inch staple leng-
th or longer is exempted from
the tax but the producer of such
cotton must first prove his point
before exemption is granted. Ex-
periment Station cotton is also
exempted from the tax.
The signers of voluntary reduc
tion contracts stand to benefit
under the Bankhead act, the Ag
TWO DIE WHEN
PLANE PLUNGES
IN RED RIVER
SHREVEPORT, La. (U.R) -First
Lieut. William H. Doohttle, 32, and
Second Lieut. Norman W. Speaker,
25, air corps reserve, were killed
today when their plane struck a
cable wire and plunged into Red
river.
Lieut. Doolittle was reared in
Ohio. He lived with his wife and
two small children at Barksdale
Field near here.
Lieut. Speaker, who had but a
few weeks more serve with the
Reserve Corps, lived st El Paso,
Texas.
The fliers were on a routine
training flight from Barksdaye
Field.
. In mid-afternoon the plane was
still half submerged in the river
and neither of the bodies had been
recovered.
SAN ANTONIO (U.R) — Cadet
Preston A. Kennedy, of Middle-
burg, New York, was killed today
when his pursuit ' plane collided
with another at 3,000 feet altitude
near Castroville.
Cadet J. S. Holtoner, New York
City, piloting the second pursuit
plane escaped serious injury by a
parachute jump.
Both were training at Keily
Field, U. S. Army Air Pst here.
ricultural Adjustment Adminis-
tration has pointed out, because
these producers will receive their
land rental and parity payments
in addition to the expected incre-
ase in cotton price on the amount
sold.
Contract signers who violate
their contracts are to have their
exemption certificates revoked,
according to the provisions of the
act.
No allotments are to be made
under the Bankhead Act until
all producers have applied to their
county cotton committees giving
their production figures and ask-
ing for exemption certificates.
The collection of the tax is to be
in charge of the Bureau of Inter-
nal Revenue, and is to be collect-
ed as prescribed by the bureau at
time of sale.
VALLEY WOMEN
HEAR PICKLE
MAKING TALKED
By MRS. JACK BAYS
Tehuacana Valley H. D. Club
held it« regular meeting at Mrs.
J. A. Scott's Friday, May 11.
Mrs. Scott led the opening ex-
ercise with a short game.
There were nine members four
visitors, Mrs. John Moody, Miss
Olena Bounds, Miss Nellie Has-
kin# and Miss Cora Kirkman
present.
The program for the afternoon
was on pickles.
Miss Kirkman says to pick the
cucumbers each morning and pitt
them in a separate jar for the
best results, using a brine of 1
pound salt for 9 pints of water,
leave them in this brine for at
least 4 or 6 weeks, do not use
a stone jar that has had lard in
it as it is so porus It may give
an off flavor to the pickles says
Miss Kirkman. '
In the fall when the pickles
are being made, soak them in
clear cool water to remove the
salty taste changing the water
about 3 times a day. Add 1 part
of vinegar to 4 parts of water
and soak over night.
For sweet pickles use from 4
to 10 pounds of sugar for 1 gal
Ion of vinegar.
The- next meeting will be at
Mrs. Jack Bays. The program
will be on pictures. Each club
member is asked to be pre3« nt
as our president, Mrs. C. M. Ray
is moving to the Kilgore oil field
Visitors are also invited. Don't
forget the date. May 25 at 2 o'-
clock promptly.

THE MIDDL6-MAN
TEXAS STATE 1
OFFICERS IN
BARROW COUP
DALLAS (U.R) — The Dallas
Journal said today it had learn-
ed that Mrs. Henry Barrow, moth
er of the notorious despera-1),
Clyde Barrow, had been kidnaped
by atata officers.
The move, the Journal aaid, waa
the latest in a series of attampta
to bring the woman's outlaw son
to justice.
Mrs. Barrow was spirited away
from her West Dallas home late
Thursday by four men, believed
to be either State Rangers or
state highway patrolmen, the
Journal said.
Tha woman reportedly wae be-
ing held today in a jail within 100
miles of Dallas, and waa being
queationed extensively regarding
her son's whereabouts.
By this bold step the Journal
said, State officers hoped to cap-
ture Barrow and end his mur-
derous career. The 24-year-old
killer, ranking bad man of the
Southwest, often has been quoted
as saying:
"If you ever touch a hair on
my mother's head I'll come and
get you."
Mrs. Barrow has been called
before the Dallas county grand
jury several times duirng the last
few weeks, presumably to tell of
her son's activities.
Coincident with Mrs. Barrow's
seizure, U. S. Attorney Clyde
Eastus announced that the Fed-
eral grand jury here would be
asked to indict relatives and
friends of Barrow and his run-
ning mate, Bonnie Parker, for
harboring the much wanted crim-
inals.

A Mothers' Day family reunion
