'Wore Electricity
for Same Cost in
New Rates Given
The Texas Utilities company Si
putting into effect this month an
"ultimate rate" plan, by which
users of electricity, will get more
electricity without increasing their
bills. It is a complicated plan, cal-
culated to increase consumption of
electricity, and result in a lowered
rate without lowering the income
of the power company.
The individual's bill is based
on his own record for a correspond-
ing month last yfear. Up to his foi-
mer use the old rate is figured. A-
bove that a lowered rate. In othel
words he gets a new rate of 10
cents for the first 20 kilowats, ,'■!
ceuts for the next 100, and 1.8 eente
for excess with his last year bill
as a minimum. TUC officials ex-
plain the rate, not as a rate reduc-
tion, but a plan to give more elec-
tiicity— not less money but more
power.
The average family can add
electric refrigerator, electric stove
or other devise without incre-v ing
the electric bill. Person* without a
record of power used will pay the
old rate.
Eventually, after power con
sumption is increased, it is expect-
ed the new rate will be applied as
a permanent feature. But this may
take a year or more. The rate ap-
plies to domestic electricity only.
MONTGOMBRY, Ala., April 5
(U.r) Alabama today began dras-
tic revision of the Southern legal
system which has barred negroes
from jury service since recon-
struction days.
The revision was necessitated
by the Supreme Court decision
reversing conviction of two of the
Scottsboro defendants because
negroes had been "systematically
excluded" from jury rolls.
Gov, Bibb Graves, in letters
to every trial judge in the state,
said "holdings of the United
States Supreme Court are the
supreme law of the land. Wheth-
er we like it or not, it is the
patriotic duty of every citizen
and the sworn duty of every pub-
lis official to accept and uphold
them in letter and spirit."
Graves suggested that the jury
lists in eyery county be revised
to include names of negroes.
His action, it was believed, will
start a procession of Southern
states revising their jury systems
to conform with the principles
laid down in the Scottsboro de-
cision.
Names to compose jury venires
are drawn by judges in Alabama
from boxes containing names of
eligible jurors, compiled by a jury
commission. The lists are usually
revised every two years. Names
of n«jroes are not found in these
boxes because jury commission-
ers feel too few can meet the
qualifications to bother with ex-
amining them. There is no law
barring negroes from jury duty.

under New Plan
Milk Station Here
III a small brick building by the
| Monger Cotton Oil company near
I the Southern Pacific tracks just
I off Main street ,thc Borden Milk
j Company of Waco is now construct
j ing a whole sweet milk cooling
plant .where in about three weeks
it will begin receiving milk.
E. E. Waters, superintendent of
the Waco concern, and J. B. Snider,
production superintendent,'were in
Mexia Thursday in connection with
the opening of the plant here and
left G. H. O'Brien, their plant en-
gineer, here to supervise installa-
tion of machinery and remodeling
of the building to accomodate the
Mw plant .
Modern milk testing equipment,
a refrigeration plant to cool the
milk, vats to store it and other fa-
cilities will be installed. Milk will
be received from the farmers every
day, and the same price paid as
that paid at the Waco plant. The
Waco evaporated milk plant now
has cooling stations at Marlin,
Gatesville and Hillsboro, and Mex-
ia will be the fourth plant of the
kind installed to gather production
for the Waco factory.
The improved market and the
better position, of the evaporated
milk industry brings demand for
the product of the Waco plant, and
more production is needed. For
V ♦
years Mexia Chamber of Conuneice
fought to build up production here
I sufficient to attract a cooling
plant, only to have the depression
knock the bottom out of the dairy
business. The price went to as tow
as 17 Cents for whole milk but has
now advanced steadily for about n
20 cent higher price than the Jovv.
In addition to receiving milk at
the coling plant the local concern
will stock butter ahd cheese pro-
duction for distribution locally
through the retail outlets of thin
territory. Mr. Snider will .vorlt
with the farmers of this area, help-
ing them to take care of their milk
and deliver it properly to the cool-
ing plant, from where glat-s lined
trucks will take it to Waco.
Farmers will organize truck lines
to Teague, Wortham, Uroesbeck,
Thornton. Kossc and Coolidge to
bring milk here. A truck line now
takes the milk to Waeo, but turn-
ing the milk this way wiH give the
farmers a better price since they
have to pay the cost of transporta-
tion to the receiving plant.
There will be no celebration or
"ballyhoo" in connection with the
milk receiving plant here, nor are
any local citizens, Chamber of
Commerce or others asked to con-
tribute anything to the branch
hare, officials said.

Farmers produced themselves in-
to poverty and the government
crop control measures were neces-
sary to return profits to the farm,
Prof. K. R. Alexander of Texas A.
& M. college told a large gathering
of farmers and other guests of the
Future Farmers of America in
their annual "father and son" ban-
quet Thursday night. The teacher
of teachers of vocational agricul-
ture discussed "What should a Fu-
ture Farmer know?" He mentioned
many things, but stressed the idea
that a Future Farmer should know
the things that are going on in oth-
er regions that so vitally affect hi*
own farm profits.
The source of wealth is the n'uni-
! ber of people working, he said in
| pointing out the parallel between
j the factory output and the farm
output in the nation.
It was a most enthusiastic, well-
| attended meeting showing much
! progress for the agriculture class,
j Bryant Austin was toastraaster.
' Dr. W. Duke f'ittma 11 offered the
invocation, and the "Ten Harmon-
I ians," entertained. Joe Herring.
| Murphy Morgan, Robert Blackmon
and Raymond Fessler, Vocational
j agriculture students, took leading
j parts on the program which wa.-
handled almost exclusively by tile
boys. Kach student reported on his
projects and introduced his guest.
An excellent dinner had been
spread B cafeteria that was well
filled. School trustees from Forest
(ilade, Shiloh, Point Enterprise and
Mexia districts and vocational ag-
riculture teachers from Wortham*
and (iroesbeck attended. B. B. 11 ut-
