The wholesale slaying of offi-
cers in Kansas City recently with
a machine gun in the hands of
racketeers is a disgrace to Amer-
ican citizenship. Strict laws
should be enacted prohibiting po-
session of machine guns or am-
munition except by officers. If
enforced men who would commit
such crimes would not be so well
prepared for wholesale murder.

A
COTTON ACREAGE REDUC-
TION AND PRICE STABIL-
IZATION.
It is a bold stroke of the Fed-
eral government to offer to pay
the cotton farmer for one-fourth
of his cotton crop if he will plow
it up in order to raise the price
of cotton. It is history that a
small cotton crop brings more
money on the market than a large
crop, and for this reason farmers
and leaders for many years
sought to reduce acreage but
with little or no good results.
The last administration sought
to remedy the farmers’ marketing
price ills by the Co-operative
Marketing Act. This law was
an aid in marketing but largely
failed in stabilizing prices because
there was no means to limit pro-
duction.
Now then, the Government le-
vies a processing tax (tax on
cotton manufactured in this
country) to raise funds to pay
the grower who destroys- a part
of hi® crop and thus helps raise
the price bv reducing surpluses.
But what will our farmers do
in this case? They must respond
with an agreement to destroy 25
to 40 per cent of their cotton—
not less than ten million acres of
the 42 to 44 million acres in cot-
ton in the United States this year
to make the Governmost’s prop-
osition available. In other words,
the farmers cannot get pay for
plowing up a part of his cotton
until the Government receives
agreements from farmers for
plowing up at least ten million
acres of cotton.
For many years- when there
was over production of cotton
there has been agitation for re-
ducing acreage, destruction and
holding off the market cotton al-
ready produced, but like the pro-
verbial weather there was never
anything done about it. Now then
the Government proposes to pay
the farmer to curtail his acre-
age and help himself. What will
our farmers do about it? Meet-
ings are to be held in Cooper
and over the county to consider
the situation, but it is necessary
to work fast if the nt >■ -iry co-
operation of the Tarmer is pledg-
ed the Government. This is the
farmers’ greatest opportunity to
accomplish price control they
SHOULD BE ALERT FOR
FUNDS FOR PUBLIC
PROJECTS.
Interested pprsnns are asked to
submit project proposals under
the public works program to
Lamar Chamber of Commerce for
consideration by public works
committee, states the Paris pa-
pers, and quick action is urged
so that surveys may be made and
applications made to Austin with-
in the next few days, Lamar
Chamber of Commerce and Paris
people are to be commended for
alertness in going after Federal
funds being put out to give em-
ployment and their effort to have
needed projects of the town and
county developed.
In a multitude of counsel is
wisdom. Our people would do
well to have a public meeting
with officials, members of Cham-
bei of Commerce and ail inter-
ested citizens present to take
counsel in this matter. There
are many needed improvements
here, some of which might be
self-liquidating. Building them
would not only afford employment
to our people but would render
a service to the community.

A natatorium is an enterprise
needed in Cooper which would no
doubt be self-liquidating. Com-
merce, Greenville, Sulphur Springs
and Paris each have natatoriums
and parties of our people drive
these long distances to enjoy
them. The salt water in abun-
dance at Cooper is very healthful
to the skin and if made available
in a swimming pool would be in
demand.
MODERN BOOKS
REVIEWED
MRS. AUSTIN GUEST,
Pecan Gap, Texaa.
For delightful reading, one
should not miss “House of Ex-
ile,” which is a recounting of the
life of Nora Wain told by herself
and in an interesting way, too.
Nora Wain was born in a fine
Quaker, old-American family in
Pennsylvanio. From childhood
to maturity she lived according
to the standards of any normal,
average American girl, except
for an irresistable force that
seemed to make her more inter-
sted and fascinated by life in
China. When she was grown,
her thoughts, hopes, and dreams
of China and Chinese people
seemed the very core of her ex-
istence.
In an unusual and unexpected
way Nora Wain received an in-
vitation to go to China and live
as a member of a highly respected
Chinese family. She accepted
this invitation without a qualm,
and found living there much
pleasanter than ever her dreams'
during childhood. After enjoy-
ing every minute of this new
life, she is able to retell it in a
way that makes delightful read-
ing.
The last part of the book is
devoted to the author’s life after
she married a British official.
There we see an entirely differ-
ent world—the world of white
foreigners in China. She depicts Name
the usual round of social affairs,
but we value it most for the idea
she gives us of the continuous
Chinese Revolution.

ery day is an opportunity to ac-
complish something toward fu-
ture success. A wasted hour is

plish anything worth while spells
“little fellow.”

fulness, your earning power, to
get more success and pleasure
out of life.

with us and step right into good
positions in the fall business. A
business education is the only
way to insure yourself a good !
salary twelve months of the year.
Two month’s salary after comple-
tion with us usually pays all ex-
penses of a course. We secure
positions for graduates.
The merit of our courses is j
proven by the fact that we are
now graduating more students
than any other school in the
Southwest. Fifty thousand Byrne
trained students will tell you of
the value of a summer spent in
Byrne College. It pays dividends
for the balance of your life-time.

WHAT MRS. A. .1. COLLINS OF ASHVILLE,
NORTH CAROLINA, SAYS ABOUT RATS
Tried preparations that killed rats but BEST-YET the only
one that prevents disagreeable odors after killing. Also like
BEST-YET because it comes in powder form, no mixing with oth-
er food, ready to use just the way you get it, you don’t have to
dirty your hands. The best for household use as it kills rats and
mice only, will not hurt your cat, dog or chickens. Comes- in
two sizes, 4 oz. for the home 50c, 6 oz. size for the farm 75c.
