persons who supported Herbert
Hoover in 1928, but to bar
them as candidates.

day afternoon in response to a
call made by the local Kiwanis
Club, which is sponsoring a
plan for the beautification of
the yards and streets \of the
city and also to look into sani-
tary' conditions. The plan as
set forth by the last meeting
of the club is to secure a car-
load cf shrubbery at a com-
paratively low cost for use of
the citizens and property
owner*. Dr. W. C. Windham
of Center addressed the meet-
ing on the importance of prop-
er sanitation and attractive-
ness of well-kept lawns and
streets. Much interest in the
movement k being shown by
the entire citizenship, who feel
that many civic improvements
will result.
There are many ways in
which to characterize the aver-
age man, but the most average
man is one who owes money.-

CENTER, TEXAS
(From Saturday’s Daily) j
Rev. and Mrs. Burnett Moses I
of DeKslb, are entertaining a
baby son at their home, the
young man making his appear-
ance Friday. The new arrival
is a grandson of Mr. and Mrs. J.
A. Moses of this city, who were
informed of the young man’s
arrival yesterday.
Mrs. Clyde Matthews, can-
didate for County Treasurer,
spout a few hours here today.
John Matthews of Center
was a Timpson visitor today.
Oil interest in East Texas at
this time is centered on the
test well now being drilled
near Garrison. East Texas
could use a few good oil
wells and the announcement of
a gusher at Garrison would no
doubt cause a reduction in cot-
ton acreage in that section.
L. M. Nelson, Sd., publisher
of the East Texas light, Tena-
ha, spent a short while here
Friday.

Troup, Feb. 16.-—Attempts
to e&eourage the production of
long staple cotton and being
made through community and
county organizations in some
parts of East Texas on the
grounds that short staple is
gradually but surely weaken-
ing the market.
In support of that point it is
claimed the Southern farmers
are in direct competition with
producers * of India, China,
Egypt, and other countries,
where costs of production and
standards of living are much
lower than in the United
States. India is said to have
materially improved her staple
so that now she is producing
between 1,000,000 and 2,000,-
000 bales from seven-eighths
to one inch staple length, and is
cotton to the world markets
Cheaper than the American
producer.
Generous, publicity through
East Texas newspapers has
been given suggestions of the
federal farm board that pro-
ducers reduce their acreage
and improve the staple. Such a
venture was held out as a move
in the direction of a better
price for the farmers.
The board recommended that
the farmey reduce his acreage
by 10 per cent and devote
more labor and land to the
production of crops which he
and his community consume.
That, it was pointed out, will
effect substantial increase in
the net ineome of the farm and
bring a higher standard of
living.
Mr. Hoover says hard work
will cure all economic ills, and
we personally aye certainly do-
ing a good deal of doctoring
able to produce and deliver the that way.-—Snap Shots.
