The Whitewright Sun outlines subscription price of $1.50 per year payable in advance and that the paper is entered at the Whitewright Texas post office as second class matter. It also lists advertising rates for entertainments and box suppers with admissions and notes on corrections for erroneous reflections.
The Dallas News notes the government plans a combined loan and subsidy for cotton growers to move crops into commercial channels, avoid warehouse gluts, and support farmer profits amid high industrial costs. Critics warn of potential dumping abroad while funding shifts to taxpayers. Secretary Wallace faces scrutiny.
The case of Motorist A. Lawrence Lowell, 80, Harvard University president emeritus, underscores how incident regulations aim to protect the driver and the public on the street. The discussion centers on licensing requirements and the balance between individual rights and public safety.
Dr Lowell did not pass tests at first but on a second trial secured permission to operate an automobile. On August 1 he caused two collisions injuring six people. Officials who suspended his license doubt he will drive again, noting his strong individualism and belief in his own driving. The article suggests motorists with less status may feel reassured by his experience.
McKinney Examiner argues Senator Black’s Supreme Court appointment may prove highly favorable. The piece notes a lifetime $20 000 salary and independence from dictation, praising his clean record and potential for prudent, non yes-man decisions despite differing views.
A Baltimore Sun suggestion mocks summer getaways by detailing a home based resort like experience. It humorously prescribes sleeping in the smallest bedroom, wading in heat, sun exposure, loud radios, and skipping laundry with a final bill of 20 to 25 dollars weekly plus a tip to the cook.
A health column urges care of the body and promotes tuberculin testing as a preventive measure. It notes no spare parts exist for organs and cites modern medical science as reducing excuses for neglect. The piece links prevention to life insurance advertising and family protection.
The plan to enlarge the Supreme Court was recommitted to the Judiciary Committee after a Senate vote, signaling an effective end for this session. Roosevelt’s court reorganization bill has split the Democratic Party and may not be revived, with administration allies and foes preparing for 1938 elections.
The report describes Purari tribe customs as primitive and strange. Patrilineal social order puts men above women, divorce is unilateral, and a wife can be expelled by her husband. A mother-in-law is shot in the leg at a wedding, and armed guards attend cross tribe marriages. Women sometimes broker peace despite subordination. Warriors' bodies are sometimes eaten with family consent requested.
In defeat, Roosevelt’s major legislative push collapses as Garner helps craft a compromise sending the plan to the Judiciary Committee. Public opinion rose to defend the Supreme Court and the Constitution, labeling the effort a bold, partisan clash and a test of American principle.
A Columbia University research summary reports on Purari cannibals in New Guinea, a British territory near Australia. Dr. Reo Fortune detailed his study conducted during a two- year fieldwork, exploring unusual social practices and their cultural context.
A revised liquor control act became effective at midnight Tuesday, tightening regulation across the industry. Over 5,000 permits expired as renewals were unlikely due to higher class rates. Dealers with renewal applications filed by midnight may operate without a new permit until Sept 10. others must suspend until permits arrive. Sugar cane was introduced to Europe by the Moors in the eighth century.
A USDA inspector toured Western Kansas cattle ranges and found vast grassland loss from drought. In one burned area a German immigrant rancher kept 1 cow per 37 acres, far fewer than neighbors 1 per 8 to 12, yet reports steady gains. The piece weaves in moral reflections on economy and names observers such as H G Moulton and Sumner H. Slichter, ending with a local note on Oregon farmers in 1936.
A reflective piece extols the name as a life thread linking ancestral choices to future identity. It traces how a father offered the name, a mother welcomed it with joy, and how the name travels through generations, carrying family prayers and hopes.
