1940 Loan Cotton
T© Be Classed by
Official Examiners
College Station.—All cotton
used as security for govern-
ment loans in 1940 will be
classed by official boards of
cotton examiners of the agri-
cultural marketing service,
i Used for the first time in
1939, this system of classing
cotton will avoid any inequi-
ties among producers whose
loan cotton formerly was
graded by warehousemen and
individual licensed classers,
and only slightly more time
will be required for approval
or tne loans, Donald L. Coth-
ran, state AAA committee-
man from Paris, points out.
The class placed on cotton
by a board will be final, thus
avoiding for the producer any
expense or inconvenience for
reclassing or for making defi-
ciency payments for over-
classing. In addition, the cost
will be only 15 cents per bale
as compared with the usual
charge of 25 cents per bale
under other procedures.
“The uniform and reliable
classing by the boards will
give the producer information
of value in negotiating with
buyers for the eventual sale
of his equity or his cotton,”
the state committeeman said.
“The increased value of such
classing will more than offset
any inconvenience arising
from additional time needed.”
On delivery of cotton to the
warehouse for the Commodity
Credit Corporation loan, sam-
ples will be drawn by ware-
housemen and shipped to the
nearest central classing of-
fice. The samples will be
classed and each bale listed on
a special form signed by the
board and returned to the pro-
ducer. Loan values will be
based on the class shown on
this form. The agricultural
marketing service predicts
samples will be classed usu-
ally within 36 hours and at
the longest 72 hours.

Passive Resist-
ance in India
By Geralfl Hall.
There has been much said
and written about the trouble
Britain is having in its large
colonial possession of India.
The Indians have been seek-
ing independence for a num-
ber of years. They have not
fought for it but have won a
great deal of freedom by their
passive resistance. Mahatma
Gandhi is the “little dictator”
of some 350,000,000 Indians,
high and low, rich and poor.
The background of this type
of life and resistance can be
seen in India’s largest religion.
Hinduism is India’s oldest
and largest religion. It claims
adherents in India numbering
239 million people. Since Hin-

Fannin county claimed the
youngest legislator in Texas,
if not in the United States, to-
day in the person of John W.
Connelly of Trenton, who was
nominated for the’legislature
from the 41st district over
Pink Stoddard by a margin of
3120 votes.

field of six in the representa-
tive’s race in the first pri-
mary. He was born at Tren-
ton August 2, 1919.
He attended the Trenton
public schools and graduated
in 1938 among the honor stu-
dents of the school. He en-
tered Baylor University that
fall and remained there unti
December, 1939, when he
transferred to E. T. S. T. C.
When he decided to enter the
race for representative early
this year, he withdrew from
school at Commerce and has
been actively campaigning
since that time.

President Roosevelt wishes
young people of the nation to
continue their education, even
during the present crisis, ac-
cording to the U. S. Office of
Education. John W. Stude-
baker, commissioner of educa-
tion, has called attention to a
recent statement from the
president.
President Roosevelt’s state-
ment is as follows: “Reports
have reached me that some
young people who had planned
to enter college this fall, as’ edge, to plan and build for na-

well as a number who attend
ed college last year, are in-
tending to interrupt their ed-
ucation at this time because
they feel that it is more patri-
otic to work in a shipyard, or
to endist in the? Army or Navy
than it is to attend college.
Such a decision would be un-
fortunate.
“We must have well edu-
cated and intelligent citizens
who have sound judgment in
dealing with the difficult
problems of today. We must
also have scientists, econo-
mists, engineers, and other
people with specialized knowl-
tional defense as well as for
social and economic progress.
Young people should be ad
vised that it is their patriotic
duty to continue the normal
course of their education, un-
less and until they are called,
so that they will be prepared
for greater usefulness to their
country. They will be prompt-
ly notified if they are needed
for other patriotic services.”

Wenona, 111. — Improve-
ments on the Bethany Luth-
eran church are being made
from the returns of “God’s
Acres.” Each farmer mem-
ber of the church has set
aside an acre of his land, rev-
enue from which he gives the
church. Some apartment and
house owners have donated
rentals. As a result, it is
hoped the church will be in
tip-top shape for its fiftieth
anniversary.

Central Provinces, not far by the vote given him in both
from Nagpur, he found it.
Then, nearby, he found a lone
mud hut and made his resi-
dence there. It was quite
small with a mat shed at one
end for sleeping. There he
lives alone because he felt he
needed solitude to do the
heavy thinking and medita-
tion necessary when trying to
lead over three hundred mil-
lion people to victory through
passive resistance.
This type of resistance is
further seen and made clearer
when we understand the Hin-
du’s conception of the world.
To him it is a temporary,
worthless illusion. Their idea
is to live in the world, because
they are here, without any re-
straint at all. So, why fight
or bestir one’s self, they
reason.
Yet Gandhi and his follow-
ers are doing some different
kind of thinking about free-
dom from Britain when they
opened their eyes wide enough
and saw the gaping jaws of
hungry and growing Japan
opening wider for a taste of
India.

A touring theatrical com-
pany was playing to meager
audiences inmidwestern
towns. The manager asked
one of the local inhabitants
how the theatre was usually
patronized in his particular
village.

he replied, “sometimes it’s
half-filled and sometimes it’s
half-empty.”
