The best catch OF the special e
sion vas made by Rep. r. M. Hub
bard Of Bowie county.
Rep. Phil Sanders Of Nacogdoches
was presiding as speaker He put his
200 pounds behind q swing OF the
gavel and broke its handle, the
heavy wooden mallet flying back ell
most into the face OF Mr.. Hubbard,
who was sitting beside the speaker.
Mr.. Hubbard reached up and caught
the flying gavel though the jagged
end Of the broken handle punctured
his hand.
The state board Of mansion u
pervisors, created by the legislature
to assis. in redecorating and ulti-
mately renovating and refuTnisling
the governors mansion, will hold a
meeting at Austin within the next
two or three weeks, Mrs. Dan Moody.
Its chairman, has announced. Mem
bers already are discussing plans for
gradually equipping the mansion
with suitable and harmonious fur
nishings and art material. Lack Of
money will cause the work TO be
carried on slowly.
This column here announces that

record In the h.use. He served In
one session as chairman OF the COM
mittee on revenue and taxation. RE
has held real leadership Throughout
his legislative service. He is widely
known in West Texas as an able
lawyer and through his career as a
lawmaker has come to be known
throughout the state. East Texas
colleagues are among those most
enthusiastically supporting his pros
pective candidacy for attorney gen.
eral.
Whether or not Mr.. Alfred be-
comes a candidate for governor has
depended uD to the present on
whether or not Gov. Sterling asks
a second term but the presumption
has been considerably in favor OF his
presence In the race through the
belief that Gov. Sterling will have
wearied of the office before the end
OF a first term Now Ii NAV be
that events are shaping themselves
to put Mr.. Alfred into the race
whether or not Gov. Sterling Is a
candidate for reelection.
1t is not improbable that events
will be going on In the next few
weeks that will be more significant
in determining the next occupant OF
the governors chair than all the
hurly-burly Of campaign o~-atory
next summer.

End OF A DIZZY Chapter.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The Federal Farm Board processes to he
permanently out of the business of buying
wheat, its departure heralded by severe
break in the cash price for that product
which il seems to have been rather eener-
ally expected to keep peeged until July !.
IL this profession is adhered to, 1t Will
mark the end of chapter in one OF the
most bizarre governmental undertakings
in the history of this country. The full
story will not be told until the Board
finally unloads the enormous supplies Of
wheat it has accumulated.
In forcing his Federal Farm Board scheme
through an unwilling Congress, President
Hoover laid down as one of the principles
10 guide its course that it should not EN-
Gage in buying and selling and price liking
of products, for such courses can only lead
10 bureaucracy and domination. 1t is in
direct defiance of this solemn declaration
of policy hat the Farm Board, OF Presi-
dent Hoover's creation and choosing. has
carried on it's gigantic program OF wheat
purchasing, and without solitary word OF
protest from the White House. For ire
sponsble government could there be
more magnificent exhibition than thatE

career as wheat price "stabilizer' with
the price of that product far. far lower
than n was when it started to peg" the
price and urged the wheat farmers TO
withhold their product from ridiculously
niooardly market. For this price misfor-
time the Worldwide depression" rather
than the Farm Board, has been responsible
But. inaugurating its career on the thresh-
old of the depression, 1t failed almost as
completely as did 1.-The Chief" to see what
was M. and hence set its course against
forces with which it was powerless TO cope
but which il could and did aggravate BY
a disordered series of leaps into and out OF
the wheat pit.
II Is estimated, with what reliability no
one knows, both because the Farm Board
ia secretive about its market operations
and because the account Is not finally
closed. that the Farm Board has lost about

State Five.Year Farm Plan Ready

Maryiands farmers have had a five-year
plan worked out for them to follow between
now and 1885 in the development of their
$40O000,000 industry whose annual pro-
duction is valued at more than $l25,O OO.-
900.
The program developed by the extension
service and other departments and divis-
ions of the University of Maryland in
cooperatiOn with agricultural and womens
organizations of the State. has been an
n0unced by DIR. Thomas B. Symons. extern
sion service director. Each county is to
have an Individual five-year plan coordi-
dated with that for the State as whole.
The general program covers not only such
matters as crop improvement, marketing.
acreage adjustment and other economic
matters, but also less tangible elements OF
proeress, such as Identification of the farm
house, undermining the kitchen. revitaliza-
ton of its menus and styling of the farm
wIfe's wardrobe.
Formation and expansion of farm COOP
eratives, crop rotation, scientific fertillza-
ton, quality standardization and grading
of CROPS, and insects and disease control
are emphasized frequently in the program,
which presents among its more concrete
aims increasing the number OF farms with
pressure-water systems by fifty per cent.
In exclamation of the need for and pur-
nose OF the program, DR.. Symons said.
Maryland has great possibilities in az
ricuItnre. 1t is quite clear to the informed
leaders that our agriculture should follow
certain definite tendencies that our geo
graphical position will lead US more and
more to provide food for human beings. as
we are in close proximity to the great
usnters of population in this country.
1.-THE ereat amount of work that has
been devoted to the preparation of this
mopram will not have been in vain If it
arouses an intelligent interest in its prose-
Cution on the part of all the people"
The PROGRAM is arranged according to
commodities constituting the agricultural
industry and factors influencing the rural
homes of the State, and definite detectives
are given for each phase of the work.
Maryland has about $l9,000,000 worth
of dairy animals on its farms and they
produce approximately $2l0OO.OOO worth
Of dairy products year.
Obiectiyes set forth in the program for
this division include the regulating OF pro-
duction to market demands, more extern
siye cooperative marketing. home produc-
ton Of seventy-five per cent. OF the feed
used, increasing the average production
Der cow from $500 to 5000 pounds,
boosting by fifteen per cent. the milk con-
sumed in small cities and rural towns, and
increasing the use Of ten per cent. more
milk and pure butter" by farm families.
The program also aims to get all farm
families to provide and consume the re-
ouired amount Of milk. butter and cheese
for good nutrition, which would be approx
mately an increase Of fifteen per cent In
milk consumption.

YES, A GOOD &c
CIGAR AT LAST
It Knocks Out All Previous
Ideas You Ever Had

Men, forget the many times you've
lit a fve-center, taken a few puffs
and thrown it away. Try one more
brand: HGvGnG Ribbon. You sure
will hold on to this onel
Havana Ribbon is five-cent cigar
in one respect only: Price. By every
other standard Of comparison, it be-
longs to a considerably higher-priced
class. And the reason is-Ips ripe
tobacco! Many fve-cent cigars con-
tain the poorer leaves Of the tobacco
plant-under-ripe top leaves (usu-
ally bitter) or over-ripe bottom
leaves CASUALLY flat-tasting). Ha-
cana Ribbon contains only choice
fulIy-,ipe middle leaves. Imagine
getting, for five cents, all the fra
grant, mellow mild, fine favored
goodness . of tobacco at its best!
You can prove it in two minutes.
Just plank down one jitney at the
next cigar counter and ask for
Havann Ribbon. Also sold in PrGc-
ticaL Pocket Packages Of five cigars.
