CLASSING OF COTTON
AUSTIN PRINTING FIRM
PAYS FINE FOR FURNISHING
LEGAL ADVICE
The Steck Printing Company, thru
their attorneys, acknowledged guilt
in Bosque County and paid a fine of
$100 in the court at Meridian^ this
for “unlawfully practicing law,” thi?
practice used in connection with
seeking to secure all sorts of bond
issue” printing. Information from
Meridian reads:
“The Steck Company for many
years has been offering a service to
counties cities and school districts ‘to
prepare the legal proceedings neces-
sary to be executed in voting or au-
thorizing the issuance of the proper
securities’ desired by said subdivi-
sions, and also in nearly every in-
stance, printed or lithographed the
bonds or warrants.
“It was charged that the practice
of a corporations furnishing legal ser-
vices is contrary to law and in viola-
tion of the Penal Statute of the State
of Texas, and more particularly in
violation of Article 430a of the Penal
Code of the State of Texas.
“Since the Attorney General pre-
scribes the forms and all the proce-
dure necessary in the proper issuance
of bonds and warrants, any ordinary
country lawer is capable of making
up the bond or warrant transcript,
and a big majority of the country
printers are equipped to print the
bonds and warrants, but the complete
legal and printing service offered by
this concern by its well-versed sales-
men, captured most of the orders re-
gardless of how much the cost.
“The complaints filed in this county
against the Steck Company, said to be
the first ever filed in any county in
Texas, are based on contracts with
Clifton Independent School District
for $100 fee for legal services or pro-
ceedings in connection with the issu-
ance of schoolhouse bonds.
"The other was for a like service
performed for Cranfills Gap Inde-
pendent School District of Cranfills
Gap, Bosque County, Texas, but the
fee in this case was not mentioned.”—
Texas Press Messenger.
When Texas became a Republic it
had an area of about 250.000 square
miles but a population of only about.
30,000.
For every dollar spent for Texas
government in 1929, the State spent
$1.80 in 1939, or nearly twice as
much.
NYA LOWERS YOUTH AGE
REQUIREMENT ONE YEAR
Austin, July 15.—Unemployed boys
and girls in Texas who are 17 years
of age and need the work experience
and training provided on National
Youth Administration projects are
now eligible for such employment, J.
C. Kellam, State NYA Administrator
said today.
With the announcemen that the
minimum age requirement for work
on NYA projects has been reduced
from 18 to 17 years, approximately
113,000 Texas boys and girls auto-
matically become eligible for NYA
employment, provided they are out
of school and need a job, Kellam point-
ed out.
With funds made available, the
National Youth Administration in
Texas will be able to provide employ-
ment for 15,000 young persons at
any one time, it was explained. As
youth go off NYA projects into pri-
vate industry as a result of the work
experience and training gained thru
NYA employment, all eligible youth
in the state will have the opportun-
ity to replace them, the State Youth
Administrator stated.
“All over Texas, in co-operation
with local public and civic organiza-
tions, NYA work projects and resi-
dent centers are operating to give
youth work experience and related
training in radio technique, metal
work, aviation mechanics, auto me-
chanics, agriculture, homemaking,
wood and iron work and many other
fields,” Kellam said.
“Through these varied projects we
are seeking to help boys and girls
become self-sufficient by giving them
work experience which enables them
to hold a job in private industry.”
There is enough salt in Texas to
give a four-horse wagon load to ev-
ery man, woman and child in the
world, and still have plenty to spare.
Vegetable Laxative
Has Important Points
This laxative does three important
things for most users. If simple
directions are followed, it usually
acts punctually, thoroughly, gently.
You will like spicy BLACK-
DRAUGHT’S way. Chief of its all-
vegetable ingredients is an “intesti-
nal tonic-laxative” which helps tone
lazy bowel muscles. Next time,
take BLACK-DRAUGHT. Econom-
ical, too: 25 to 40 doses, 25c.
Extension of the time limit up to
which applications for free classifi-
cation of 1940 cotton may be filed
by organized improvement groups
was annouonced today by the Agricul-
tural Marketing Service. Delayed
planting in many areas and general
lateness of the season account for the
extension.
Applications may be filed with thej
Agricultural Marketing Service to |
August 15 for groups in all of Texas]
except the high plains and to August!
25 for groups in the high plains and]
in Oklahoma.
It is expected that, if a Govern-1
ment loan is announced, the elassi-i
fication memorandum furnished to,
members of groups qualifying for the;
free classing service will be accepted I
for loan purposes and members will i
not have to pay an additional fee for]
classification.
Instructions for making appliea-!
tion and forms for applying can be j
obtained from the County Agent or]
from the Agricultural Marketing Ser- 1
vice at P. O. Box 1369, Dallas; P. O.
Box 1140, Austin, and Room 509 U.S.
Court House, El Paso, Texas.

Albert C. Johnston recently campaigned here for Chief Justice of
the Waco Civil Appeals Court. Aged 55, born in Hill County, with
actual farming exeperience and an outstanding lawyer of Waco for
26 years, he is democratic and speaks well of opponents, but feels
that some circumstances might tip the scales in his favor. While hon-
orably discharged from World War service, he seeks support on his
law record. (Pol. Adv.)
