Back to Farm Movement
Increases Farm Population
The farm population of the
country now is close to 32
million, the bureau of agri-
cultural economics of the de-
partment of agriculture an-
nounces. By the first of the
year it will be only 200,000
below the 1910 esUmatt-
which was the peak year in
farm population. It is esti-
mated as a result of surveys
that 86 per cen't of the farm-
bound persons formerly lived
there. The back-to-the-lanci
movement, accelerated by
the depression, also is filling
up the villages under 2,500
population.
It is said that all radio an-
nouncers are college grad-
uates. Is this an argument
for or against higher educa-
tion ?
Our joy over relief from
campaign oratory is some-
what abated by the though!
that Congress must meet
next week.
Stung by his taunt, Je.-us*
accusers hesitated when he
told them by what authority
he had driven the money-
changers from the Temple,
and in their
moment of hes-
itation were lost
The 8oldier3
turned their
backs; it was
nothing that
they cared a-
bout. But the
crowd bur.-t
forth in a migh-
ty cheer ani
rushing forward bore him out
i of the Temple, 'the priests
and the money-changers scur-
rying before him. That night
his action was the talk of the
town.
It is a very familiar story,
much preached upon and pi
tured. But almost invariably
the pictures show Jesus with
a halo around his head, as
'though that was the explana-
tion of his triumph. The
truth is so much simpler ar.d
more impressive. There was.
in his eyes, a flaming mora1
purpose; and greed and op-
pression have always shrivel-
ed before such fire.
But with the majesty of
Jesus’ glance there was
something else which counted
powerfully in his favor. As
his right arm rose and fe1:,
striking its blows with that
ittie whip, the sleeve dropped
back to reveal muscles hard
as iron. No one who watch I
i :m in action had any doubt
that he was fully capable of
laking care of himself. No
flabby priest or money-chang-
er cared to try conclusions
with that arm.
There are those to whor'.
it will seem almost irreverent
to suggest that Jesus was
physically strong. They think
of him as a voice, a presence,
a spirit; they never feel the
rich contagion of his laugh-
ter, nor remember how heart-
ily he enjoyed good food, nor
think of what his years of
hard toil must have done to
his arms and back and legs.
Look for a minute at those
first thirty years.
There was no soft bed for
his mother on the night he
entered the world. He was
brought forth in a stable,
amid animals and the animal-
hke men who tended them.
When Jesus was still an
infant the family hurried
into Egypt. On the long trip
back, some years later, he
was judged old enough tj
walk, for there were younger
children; and so, day after
day, he trudged beside the
lit lie donkey, a hard life.
Early in his boyhood Jesus,
as the eldest son, went into
the family carpenter shop.
The practice of carpentry
was no easy business in those
simpler days. Doubtless the
man who took a contract for
a house assumed responsib’l-
ities for digging into th?
rough hillside for its founda-
tions; for felling trees in the
forest, and shaping them
with an adze.
In after years those who
listened to the talk of Jesus
by the Sea of Galilee, and
heard him speak of the “man
who built his house upon a
rock” had no doubt that he
knew what he was talking a-
bout. Some of them had seen
him bending his strong clear
shoulders to deliver heavy
blows.
So he “waxed strong” as
the narrative tells us—-a
phrase which has rather been
buried under the too-frequent
lepetition of “the meek and
lowly” and “the lamb.”

M»v Secure Bridge
North of Bonham
(From Bonham News.)
Fanniin County citizens will mak?
several requests for highway con-
struction when the State Highway
Commission meets Monday and
Tuesday.
The most Important of the re-
quests will be that of seeking a
designation for a highway front
Bonham to Sowell’s Bluff bridge
across Red River. Information
has been received in Bonham that
the Texias and Oklahoma commis-
sions will very likely con sum ate a
deal for the purchase cf the bridge
across Red River. A member of
the Oklahoma Commission will ap-
pear before the Texas Commission
regarding the deal. A letter from
Frank Austin, president cf the
Austin Bridge Company which owns
the Sowell’s Bluff bridge, indicates
that the deal will probablv be clos-
ed. nnd another letter from State
Senator John McDonald at Durant
who is an active proponent of the
sale of the bridge, expresses the
same view.

TEXAS SALT
MINES HAVE
BIG SUPPLY
SUPPLY KNOUYV TO BE
SUPPLY KNOWN TO BE
HUNDRED YEARS.
--
A mountain of salt a mile across
and roadhing to an unknown depth,
believed to represent enough to sup-
ply the world for generations, brief-
ly describes an important East Tex-
as Industry centered near Girard
Sailing in Van Zandt County.
Although the salt deposits near
Grand Saline have always been re -
cjnized as vast, their full extent
wtas not clear!, indicated until a
newer method of obtaining the salt
from the ground, known as salt
“mining,” was inaugurated in re-
cent yeiars by a well known sa’t
company in the Grand Saline area.
The "miners” made borings hun-
dreds of feet deep without ‘‘touch-
ing bottom” of the huge mountain
of salt, while other borings showed
the salt mountain was more than
a mile across at its top
The Grand Saline salt inctost-y
is one of the oldest in Texias. It
had its crude beginning certainly
as far back as 1845. and long be-
fore that it was a known source of
salt for the Indian aborigines.
^
The Newest Process.
The earliest methods of obtaining
the salt were based on the princi-
ple of pumping the saline solution
frbm wells and then securing the
Salt by riddling the solution of its
•water content. The evta ponation
•process, modernized, is still use.l
The newest process is mining.
In starting the mining process
serious problems had to be over-
come in the sinking of the 700-
fect shaft to the salt deposits-
Quicksand and huge quantities of
salt water were encountered by the
miners. At cne time It was ap-
prehended that the entire project
would have to be abandonee.
But finally, and after the expe\-
d'iture of thousands of dollars, • '<•
difficulties were overcome. Four-
feet concrete walls braced and re-
inforced' to resist the tremendous
pressure from water and sand were
one of the means used, and now
the huge machines are bringing tc
the mine-mouth dally tons and
tens of the pure mineral in rock
form.
The mining is relatively simple-
blasting out the salt with explo-
sives. dragging it to a large hoppe-
for crushing into sizes convenient
for handling and lifting it to the
Rugs, building paper and wall surface in giant buckets. Piocess-
ing then consists of reducing the
paper. Our price is right. Call and . ,
blocks to the proper size accord •
ing to the use for which it is in-
pulveriaaitdon for table purposes.
^
Machinery Used-
Mechanic .ill-,' agitated screens
with various sized meshes separate
the different degrees of coarsen'’*
Machinery directs the different
sizes to their proper receptacles
and from the time it leaves the
mine until it is sorted and pack-
aged and ready tor shipment It is
not toyuhed by human hands.
Extent of the Grind Saline so'.t
’’mountain” is not known. Some
idea of Its known area, however,
may be gldvncd from the fact that
mining engineers estimate that
from the one level now being work
ed thev clan continue production at
the present rate for 300 years How
many more levels there are to bo
mined is largely a matter of con-
jecture.
Producs cf the Grand Saline plant
are shipped extensively throughout
the Southwest. Only 10 per cent
of the output, however, goes for |
table use; the remaining 90 per|
cent is used industrially- Dairy i
and poultn/i Industries, oil refln-!
enies, packers and canners, tanners 1
ice cream manufacturers, refrig-
eration plants and chemical mak- \
ens are big users of salt, 43 p°r1
cent of the total consumption go- |
ing into various chemical uses. The 1
Grand Sialine plant has all mode ;.
practice and machine tor the mar-
keting of salt as nearly 100 per
cent pure as it is possible to make
it.
