other expenses which exceeded !, 100000. He let 1t
be known that the crops on the prison farms are
promising, that if there is no bad luck the income
for 1929 will equal or exceed that of 1928 and thus
return a large sum of money to the treasury.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives


The "debenture plan" which western senators are
writing into the senate farm relief bill is an inter-
esting proposal, but appears to have little chance to
pass.
The plan has the support OF Congressman John
N. Garner, representative Of the district In which the
Valley is located, but it is so needed that the mouse
generally is hostile to the proposal.
IT is doubtful whether the Valley would profit
materially If the plan should be enacted. SO lar the
discussion has hinged around rebates on wheat and
small grains. These commodities do not interest VAL
ley farmers.
The debenture plan, which has become the cen
trail point of controversy over farm relief, is a Sys-
TEN of issuing negotiable certificates to exporters of
farm products to be exchangeable at par as payment
of import duties. The debenture certificate on wheat
would be for half the amount Of the tariff on that
commodity, or for one-half Of AZ cents per bushel.
These western senators propose to attach their
debenture proviso to the lower house bill. They do
not insist upon making their debenture plan a man.
datory part of the bill. They would make it alter
native. They would, In effect. write into the bill
something like this:
IF President Hoover's plan should fail the pro-
posed farm board would have power. If they choose,
to put the debenture into operation"
The farm board will be appointed by Mr.. Hoover
and it is the intention of the senators to leave the
decision on the debenture plan up to MI Hoover.
This is virtually what would take place.
If the plan proposed by friends of Hoover fails
to work, as the western senators believe it will. they
would say to him I'VE only ask you to try this plan
If and when your ideas have failed to work"
The proposal seems doomed to defeat, as the house
does not believe in the debentue plan-at last q ma
jority OF the house members do not believe in 1t. The
house committee on agriculture has turned Its back
on the plan and denied it a place in their bill.
The house already has attacked the right Of the
senate to include the plan in any bill. They are
Jealous of their right to originate any revenue rails
ing measure and they contend this is a tariff bill.
The senators favorable to the idea, on the other
hand, say the plan is an appropriation measure, since
It appropriates money from the tariff collections for
the exporters.

Hoover and the Farm Relief

President Hoover is opposed to price fixing of
farm products. He is opposed to government sub
sidy. direct or indirect. He is opposed to elaborate
machinery. He is opposed to what he calls a tax
upon the farmer. Makers Of the house farm relief
bill eliminated all these objections when they draft
ed the bill.
They did not include the debenture plan.
Now the agricultural committee of the senate has
authorized the makers of the senate bill to include
the debenture plan. President Hoover is said to be
opposed to the plan.

Washington Letter
By HERBERT C. PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, April 24-Thereu probably be a
,ot If "hellgebites" on the republican side Of the
house during this special session Of congress.
"Hellgebites" are things stirred up by Jack Car
ner, the new democratic leader, successor 70 fmlS :.
Garrett. The word is his, and he is about as adept
at this as any Of his democratic colleagues.
The fiery Texan is regarded generally as one OF
the hest rough and tumble debaters on either SIDE
of the dividing political aisles. He is a veritaole
whirlwind in action, arms flying and words spoutng
with machine gun rapidity.
He has a nimble mind and it is a rare thing that
he is without a retort that will bring discontinue to
"a heckler or without a ready answer to questions
designed to break up his attack.
WHIRLWIND IN ACTION
With Garner in command Of the democrats pros
pects are that the republicans will meet the most
spirited and united opposition that the minority party
has offered in years.
Undismayed by the reversal his party received at
the polls last November, he plans to battle every, inch
Of the way to inject democratic ideas and principles
in the tariff revision and farm relief bills now before
the special session. A practical politician is Garner,
but he is quick and consistent in his condemnation
Of false motives.
His modesty and frankness win him friends de-
spite his fire and biting sarcasm in the running ex-
changes with his colleagues. He is one of the most
popular of men among his associates. Garner and
Nicholas Longworth have long been cronies despite
the frequent clashes they had on the floor during the
DAYS when the speaker was the republican leader.
Garner is an opposite type from Garrett, his pred
ecessor. The Tennesseean was regarded by all as one
of the most able students Of the house during his
terms in congress. The Texans forte is his ability
to fight.
The new democratic chieftain is a lawyer, an ex-
ltensive land owner and a banker. He served in the
Texas legislature and as a county judge before COM
ing to congress. He entered his thirteenth term
March T.
Garner is said to have owned one of the greatest
Angora goat herds in the world at one time. He still
owns a number of fine herds. Lately he has been
interested in raising onions.
Although he is said to be a wealthy man, Garner
lis known as one of the most democratic men in con-
gress. At all times he shows a careless disregard for
the usual amenities Of official life.
PLAYS NO FAvORITES
His verbal attacks are not confined wholly to re-
Ipublicans. Even his southern colleagues have felt the
sting Of his tongue. He jolted the house a few years
back with an attack on Tom Blanton, a colleague
from his own state.
Blanton had been making speeches against MEM
bers of congress for accepting mileage pay and other
allowances. Gamers ire was aroused, and he struck
back. The way he dashed his colleague is still fresh
in the minds of all on Capitol Hill.

Health and Right Living
By ROYAL 8. COPELAND, wi. Id.
Former Commissioner or Health,

One OF the most trying OF human
experiences Is the inability to sleep
Even q murderer will give himself
UP II he cannot sleep. Loss Of sleep
has driven men and women to sui
eide. 1t has made them mad.
The doctors call sleeplessness EN-
somnia." It is regarded as SO i'm
portant that whole books are de-
voted to the subject. Insomnia is
looked upon as a serious ailment.
There are many causes for sleep
less night. Bad news, fright, shock
from any cause, may SO disturb the
nervous system that sleep Is cut
OF the question. When the acute
agony subsidies gentle sleep will re-
turn.
A more serious form or insomnia
Is that which comes from worry.
Worry killed a cat" the old saying
goes. But it isn't the cat alone that
suffers. Many a man and many a
woman has tossed on beds of worry,
utterly unable to sleep. The af-
fairs Of the day have become the
worries Of the night.
Things al be so black about 8
O'Clock In the morningi At that
hour life seems indeed hopelessl
Sometimes 1t is difficult to de-
terrnine whether worry Is the cause
or illness or whether illness is the
cause OF the worry. But there can
be no doubt that they are twins.
Slamese twins at that. They are
chained together. Insomnia Is a
sure sign Of illness, or that you will
be Ill unless relief comes.
There are serious ailments OF the
brain and nervous system that have
loss Of sleep among the prominent
symptoms. In that form Of in
sor1nia we are not interested today.
1 want to speak about the simpler
and more common types.
Improper diet and irregular hab-
its are sleep destroying. Constipa-
ton Is capable of generating poi
sons that have an evil effect upon
the nervous system.
It Is safe to say that seven per-
sons out Of ten who suffer from
insomnia are the victims Of con-
stipation. Wrong eating habits
cause the constipation and then
sleeplessness is added to the chain
Of symptoms.
Anything that disturbs the heart
action may destroy sleep. Drugs,
excessive smoking, stimulants Of all
sorts-in these are other causes for
insomnia.
Speaking Of drugs. let me beg Of
you never to resort to them. They
should never be taken except on
the advice of a physician. If you
can't sleep you are sorely tempted
to take something"
Many a life has been ruined by
habitual resort to sleep-producing
drugs. Sleeping powders, sleeping
potions, sleeping drops-all these
are dangerous. They lead to drug
addiction and to conditions far
worse than insomnia.
A tepid bath continued for a
quarter of an hour or more will
help. A glassful Of hot milk, van
tillation Of the sleeping room, a hot
water-bag for the feet-try them
before thinking Of drugs.

pended by a small wire from a high

ing from precisely north to south.
There is a clock dial underneath the
pendulum divided into hours. In this
case it is not the pendulum that
turns out of its north and south
swing above the dial, but the dial. on
its south side, turning skew-wise

proceedings for consideration and re-

The execution, under the terms of the

OF the county or city, where the felon
was indicted, and in the presence of
not less than nor more than -
persons, including the psnitentiary phy-

Is to secure the condemned person to
