better than ever. More counties In
this vast territory held fairs this
year than ever, and reports from
others indicate that the number of
fairs next year will be still greater.
All of which will mean much for
the agricultural and livestock devel-
opment of that great empire Nothing
promotes agricultural development
and livestock raising like the county
fair. and the value to the state of its
success can hardly be computed in
dollars and cents.
West Texas. the Pa - c,H1trv in1
tha Panhandle region are fast con-
nG into their own. Aires t. hey are
the granary of the state and value Of
their crops Is increasing enormously
every year. There is no limit to their
agricultural and livestock resources,
and in the development of these the
county fairs will be found to have
played leading part.-Fort Worth

BOY SCOUTS ORGANIZATION
SHOULD HAVE ENCoURA CEMENT

The Boy Scouts organization is one
that is welding a great influence over
the boy life OF America Parents
should give all the encouragement
possible toward the building up OF
this organization. A boy has so much
energy that will be expended In some
way or another. Whether IL will be
spent in the right channels or wheth-
crit will be spent in the wrong de-
ponds largely on the interest of the
parents. The boy scout movement ma
tural.y appeals to the boys and where
il is properly conducted there Is no
limit to its possibilities Snyder has
a SPLENDID organization, about thirty
boys who are very interested and
responsive to the requests Of their
leaders. Messrs Porter King, Abe Rog
ers. f.. G.. White. Hugh Boren and
others are now active in the work.
and as the winter season is approach
ing. when outside activities will be
curtailed, Mr. King the assistant
Scout Master, is planning 70 have a
program outlined for each Friday ev-
ening in the Hall on the third floor
OF the court house This program to
be outlined by n committee appointed
BY the Scout Master II has been
suggested by some of the scout lead
ers that together with the boys even
ing activities that they have business
men give the boys a short talk on
the main points. or vital points OF
their particular business. A boy at the
age Of 10 or Is years is beginning to
think of his avocation In life What
he Is best adapted to, what appeals
TO him most. and many questions
come up and with these suggestions
n might be the means OF some boy
realizing the relationship existing be-
tween them and his natural inclina-
tions. The boy when he joins the Boy
Scout organization takes the follow
ing as part Of his oath, which he
does not forget and which he Will
not altogether disregard, ii at all.

The state School Board made the
announcement at Austin this week
that it will be at least year before
there will be any more funds for the
purchase OF any new school bonds.
There were more than a million dol
lars worth of school bonds offered to
the board this week and other bonds
are being voted by school districts
over the state This means that IL
there are to be any new school build
ings erected in addition to the new
buildings now under contract. private
capital must buy the bonds. We hap
pen TO know that several hundred
thousand dollars worth OF new bonds
authorized by school districts over
the Panhandle will be on the market
within the next few weeks. and pri-
yate capital cannot find a safer or
more desirable investment than in
these bonds. Those who may have
money for such investment shouid
turn 1t loose at this time and help
the unemployment situation as well
as to provide comfortable housing
for our school children. - Plains

II is possible that out of the dis
armament conference in Washington
will come an agreement to arrest the
growth OF naval ornaments. The
nations OF the world are tired OF en-
larging their navies. are tired of the
increasing cost. Little pressure
should be necessary to bring about
such an agreement. But 1t is not
likely that any steps will be taken
for any reduction of present arma-
ments. If a halt be called on in
creasing armaments. it is possible
that the line OF preparedness will
turn to scientific attachments, to n
further exploration of the secrets OF
science. so that the offensive and de-
fensive measures of the future will
have quiet force instead OF the pres
ent heavy and semi-barbarous force.
