WARMER WEATHER

 rtady Reported Good

New York. June 12-Warmer temperatures. as it was expected. have brought back the much desir- ed vitality to the hardware trade of the country. Hardware Age will say tomorrow in its weekly market sum- mary. While activity in spring merchandise has been fairly satis- factory all along, weather condi- tions have served to prolong the demand for this class of merchan- disc, due to lateness in getting to work on the landS and at present there is a steady call for items needed for this work.
 The crop outlook in general is very bright, and optimism in this regard is already reflected in con- sumer demand. The steel industry continues for the present at good volume, as was predicted earlier in the season. Other industrial factors are maintaining a good level of ac- tivity at present.
 Prices are mainly steady and col lections are improving.

Convention Held Here Proves to Be
 ! Largest Meeting of Exchange Clubs

l privileged children, either the de- formed and misshapea or the un- der-nourished children. of poor par- ents. In this work. I feel that we are most helpful and . large ma- jority of our clubs are doing ex- cellent work along these lines.
 Tt stands to reason that a child who is allowed to grow up misshap- en and deformed, has a crippled mind which tends toward the crim- inal activities. but these same chill dren, given the chance to grow up as normal human beings. will de- velop normal minds and become good citizens. The same thing ap- plies to the under-nourished child; if the child is not given proper nourishment to build up it's body. its brain does not develop along healthy lines and this tends to swell the criminal class, whereas the child. if given proper hourish- ment, builds proper brain and eventually makes a good citizen.
 Past National President, Dr.. George Sabichi, is chairman of the Tax Reduction Committee and l am particularly proud of the work that has been accomplished through the hard work of Dr. Sabichi and his committee. Two years ago, the Doc- tor spent four months in Washing ton and he was instrumental in having the Gift Tax removed from the Federal Inheritance Tax and brought about substantial reduce tion in the Federal Inheritance Tax. During the past two years Dr.. Sa- bichi has been working on tax ad- justment in California and l feel privileged to be one of his com mittee-men and to have been allow ed to work with him, even though he has done practically all the work himself. and has put over in Cali fornia a very substantial reduction in taxes of various kinds. For de- tailed information regarding his work in California, will refer you to an article to be published in the July issue of the 'Exchangite.'
 What Membership Means
 Members of your clubs will probably ask the question, What am I, personally, to get out of my membership in the Exchange club ?' My answer to that question is that not only has he the satisfaction of knowing that he is one of a body of men that is actually contributing something to his community, but he is meeting every week with a bunch
 of good fellows, whose friendship is we'll worth having, and the good
 fellowship that you have in your club meetings is something that you cannot get in any other way. It stands to reason that a man having g large number of friends becomes more valuable to his employer. or, if he be an owner of a business, the more business he will do, and l am satisfied that you will find, as oth- CT clubs have. that the business men who are members of the club and are competitors will find that their competitors are pretty good fellows after all, and while compe- tition will be keen, it will be friend

iy and there will he no malice.
 Each club should take out a membership in its local Chamber of Commerce and should cooperate with that body in every possible way for the upbuilding of the com- munity. They should also cooper ate with the Mayor and City Coun- Gil. helping them with tho many problems that they have. and they should particularly commend their city officials when they have done a good job.
 ''On April of this year, there was held . meeting of executives from all the service clubs in this country and during the meeting. President Hoover gave the delegates an audience and gave this message to the delegates to be broadcast to all service pen in this country. It is a particularly strong appeal and I take pleasure in giving it to you at this time:
 "I was particularly pleased to have your request for this confer ence because I have for you a very definite message. I regard your ser vice clubs as offering remarka ble medium through which the gregari- ous man of today is able to clear his views and unite his efforts in a common service. I feel that you have great opportunity for in- fluencins and shaping public opin- ion in the direction of constructive good.
 "'There Is sinister influence abroad in our country today, an in fluence which tends to disrespect and disregard all law. Men are dis posed to select laws that are agree able and obey them and laws that are not agreeable and not obey them. It is most important that 1t be no longer fashionable to disobey and disregard the laws of the land. and I do not refer especially to the Eighteenth Amendment.
 And so I would charge you with the responsibility of conveying to your membership and through your membership to the citizens at large the need for a united support of our laws and I would further charge you, that each of you 50 live in your private lives that you will become an example to your fellow citizens.

The Texas legislature has never failed to look
after the moral as we'll as the physical welfare Of
the people Of the state. The recent enactment OF a
measure designed TO prevent so-called "gin mar
rags" by requiring the contracting couple to give
notice Of intention to apply for q marriage license at
least three DAYS before such license is issued. is char
~acteristic OF the deep solictude Of the solons at
Austin.
Having passed this measure, the legislature can
now devote some time TO careful consideration OF
the Gates bill. which would eliminate that fearful
menace 10 Texas womanhood-the high heel shoe.
Passage of this bill would, its proponents assert. re-
suit in the saving Of those collective millions Of hours
now wasted by the male population Of the state in
wondering how women can navigate a sidewalk with
her heels two 10 three inches above the level that
Nature intended.
Proponents OF this measure can point with con-
siderable pride to the fact that as early as 1907 Texas
solons became to evidence their solicitude for the
well being Of the citizenry and passed the famous
boarding house reform measure establishing the nine
foot sheet rs the legal length for all hotel and room
ing house beds. Lengthy Texans. and there are many
OF them, no longer suffer froStbite as the result Of
insufficient bed covering when forced to quit the
home fireside and apply for accommodations In Texas
hotels.
Texas law prohibiting playing cards in public
places and ON trains, while IL has not had the effect
Of completely Graduating poker from the state, has
resulted in a great boost for the domino industry and
increased sale OF crap dice which can be brought
into service on secluded corners or dark hooks where
poker parties would be impossible. The law also has
proved beneficial in preventing tanning OF the aisle
on passenger smokers" such as sometimes occurs In
less moral states when a high stake poker game Is in
progress.
The Texas marriage license law. however, does not
belong to the category Of freaks" II may result
in less hasty marriages occasionally. as the ardor Of
youthful couples may wane when given time for con-
temptation. and If It will result in reducing the d.
vcrce court dockets to any appreciable degree 1t will
have served a very useful purpose.

Fever Tick and the Dairy Industry

Every county in South and West Texas has an IN
terest in the Parr bill. recently introduced in the
state senate. which provides for state aid in eradica-
ticn Of the fever tick. the bane Of the cattle and in
dustry Of Texas.
The Parr bill provides that the state defray the
cost Of inspection and dipping materials. the county
to provide the necessary dipping watts. This Is q very
equitable proposition, one of which practically all
cattle and dairy counties will hasten to avail them
selves il the measures becomes a law.
Efforts TO inaugurate dairy farming upon an ex-
tensive scale in South Texas have been more or less
abortive. due to the prevalence Of the fever tick. In
the days of wide ranges. when millions Of cattle
roamed the Texas plains, the loss was appalling. but
did not represent the economic loss of the present
day due to the low price OF cattle Of that period.
Brought TO the Southland on cattle imported from
Spain during the days OF the conquistadores. the
fever tick has proved an incubus upon the cattle in
dustry. The losses sustained by Texas stockman are
incalculable. and these losses will continue until the
state Is tick free.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley is especially inter
ested in the success Of the Parr bill That dairying
eventually will become one Of the major industries Of
this section. where feed and forage crops can be pro-
duced in maximum quantity at minimum cost, is OBJ
vious. However. 1t is apparent that establishment Of
this industry upon an extensive and profitable scale
depends upon eradication Of the fever tic. Dairy
men are not going to bring valuable sres or record
COWS into a tick-infested region. They cannot be ex-
pected to develop the herds necessary to establish
the industry upon a highly profitable basis or TO
hazard an investment which may be wiped out In
one or two seasons. They are entitled to protection
for their herds. and It Is the duty OF the state ard
county TO provide 1t as outlined in the Parr bill.
IN the Lower Rio Grande Valley. and. IN fact,
throughout all of South Texas, countless thousands
Of acres lie idle. and millions Of tons Of feed 60 TO
waste annually. every ton Of which. fed to beef or
dairy cattle, would return profits 10 the farmers ard
add to the wealth of the region.
In the event the Parr bill becomes a law, Cam
eron, Hidalgo. willacy and Starr counties should pre-
pare to avail themselves of its provisions Immediate
ly, and the entire Valley should undertake an az
gressive campaign to place this region on the map as
the greatest dairy section of the South.

The World and All
LET US HAVE A

Peace Is always very popular in the United States
OF America, except during wars. 1t isn't hard to get
a peace resolution through almost any kind Of as
sembly. All the churches are for peace. and so are
all the luncheon clubs. Well. it's just like being for
education. 1t doesn't take any heroism to be for
peace in time Of peace in America.
Being for peace in time Of war, OF course. Is an
other proposition. We're al for war when the war
is on, because even the most innocent Of us realizes
then that If we lay down our arms somebody will
shoot us.
Americans are essentially peaceful people. They
do not like to go to war with any nation. When war
comes. they put up a pretty good fight. Ask the man
who fought against them.
But Americans are likely to trust too much to
reace treaties and genetlemen's agreements to keep
them out Of war.
I wish we'd never have another war. But I cannot
ignore the lessons of history. politics and economies
There will be a greater war than ever has been.
The last war didn't end war. 1t didn't make the
world safe for democracy. 1t didn't make the seas
any freer than they had ever been before. It didn't
make the world safe for small nations. 1t didn't do a
thing FOR self-determination. except where sef-de-
termination suits the most powerful nations.
Yves this great war. then. in vain?
Surely. so far as its expressed aims are concerned.
In the idealistic sense. all wars are in vain. II is
folly to suppose that great good can come out Of
much slaughter.
But. realizing the vanity of war to the full, we
must yet realize that we are living in a world that be-
lieves in war. It does you little good to renounce
your belief in witches If you live, in an asylum full Of
people who do believe in witches and may mistake
you for one.
We must nevr- sink our hest warships again. In
the vain belief that other nations will be so i'm
pressed that they will cease to build warships. Rather.
we must provide ourselves with the physical means
of winning any war that We may get into.
! am against war-snd against the delusion that
you can prevent war by throwing down your arms
and exposing yourself to the other fellows gun
