John W. Carpenter, president Of the Texas Power
and Light company. is a Texan. 1t is his viewpoint
there Is no greater job before the people Of Texas than
to establish q profitable system Of farming. 1t IS his
advice. given freely and logically:
1T Is OF UTMOST CONCERN TO ALL THE
PEOPLE OF TEXAS TO PREVENT OVERPRO-
DUCTIoN OF COTTON IN 1880"
He recalls the figures Of the federal statistician
that II the same acreage be planted to cotton in the
south as In 1929 and the yield were the average OF
the record crop Of 1926. I'VE would have a crop OF
nearly 100000 to sell, which economists say would
bring a price Of 10 cents a pound or less"
There Is a federal farm delief board. Its chairman
has sounded the warning. The world only consumes
about 100000 bales Of American cotton a year. Why
not decrease acreage and force the price Of cotton
above the cost Of its production?

C"Senate passes tariff class allowing customs office
clerks to impound foreign books considered obscene
or seditious. Item)
Scene-A customs office. Felix and Gus, two
clerks, are lying on the floor looking over books.
Felix inspecting a British seed catalogue: This
flower book puzzles me. Here's a passage about Ill
les. It says, Lilies are a rich heritage. Down through
the ages better lilies have come as man has gradually
wrested from nature the secrets of her hidden treas
ures." What's that mean?
Gus: I dunno, but I'd impound it on general prin-
ciples. ! don't like that reference to natures Sc
crets.
Felix: 1t might be all right for you and me TO read
such stuff but we've got to think of the women and
children. Here's one by an Italian. It's called Beau
ty Spots Of Florence"
Gus: wouldn't pass any book with a name like
that. Those Italians get pretty personal when they
write about women.
Felix: Here's another. It's called Elizabeth and
Essex"
Gus: That's probably about the automobile bust
ness. You can let that through all right. Did you
see this? It's a novel by Manuel Komroff, called
"Coronet."
Felix: I used to play a coronet once.
Gus: I guess it's Just for musicians. Here's one
called THE Affair at Jutland." I'll inpound that
without hesitating.
Felix: Sure. The minute YOU hear that word "af-
fair" you know it's a sex story.
Gus: What did you do about that Powys book
Kindness In A Corner7"
Felix: Impounded II on the title. II sounded toe
much like one Of them necking stories.
Gus: Here's a book called The Life Of an Ego
list" by a German guy. What's an egoist?
Felix: An egoist is a woman who leads a double
life. It's the same as a paramour.
Gus: Here's another. Problems Of Neurosis.
What's neurosis?
Felix: You don't pronounce it right. It's Necrosis
Necrosis means a collection Of off-color stories thai
have come down from the time of Nero.
Gus: I'll take it home and read it and then i'm
pound it.
Felix: Here's one that puzzles me. It's called
"Mata Hari, Courtesan and Spy" I wonder what
It's about.
Gus: Mata Hari is what a Japaneses commits when
he kills himself. It's the same as suicide in Ameri-
can.
Felix: But what's a courtesan?
Gus: A ~courtesan is something you make when you
bow on entering a room.
Felix: The book ought to be all right, I guess.
Gus: why take chances? Impound anything YOU
don't understand and let the courts decide 1t. They
get more money than we do.
Felix: Well whatcher say if we call it a day? We've
done our duty and kept a lot Of obscene literature
from reaching people who can't understand it.
Gus: Okay.
