Delta County Is cooperating in a
campaign for increasing our acreage
yields, organized by the Southern Pa-
cific lines in connection with the A.
& M. College. County agents. East
Texas and local Chambers of Com-
, merce, bankers, farmers and other or-
ganizations and citizens interested in
farm development.
The best speakers available will be
present at the 27 county-wide meet-
ings that will be held at the court
house, Cooper, at 9 o’clock a. m„ on
Nov. 16th at both a forenoon and
afternoon session. You are extended
a most cordial invitation to be pres-
ent.
The purpose of these meetings will
be to promote larger and better yields
per acre through soil building. The
principal points considered will be
terracing, crop rotation, adding hu-
mus to soils, growing legumes.
Almost everyone knows that our
per acre yield of cotton and other
crops has been decreasing for sev-
eral years, and If farming is to bP
made profitable our soils will have to
be built up. Anything that can be
suggested that will increase our acre-
age yield is highly important to ev-
eryone.
We believe that the information that
can be obtained at the meeting to
which you are invited will l>e of so
much value, we are taking the lib-
erty of asking you to invite any oth-
-ers who might be interested.

Colleen Moore In her most charm-
ing role, “Happiness Ahead.” Grand
Monday and fuesday.
The Vv-ta of the solid ttuitli, which
for more than half a canfdry ha3 batn
overwhelmingly Democratic, has been
broken in the election of Tuesday,
which gives the vote of several South-
ern States to Herbert Hoover in the
electoral college.
Cunning for office for the first time
in his life, he defeated Gov. Alfred E.
Smith of New York, a veteran master
of politics, in one of the most spec-
tacular victories in the history of
American campaigns, according to
Nation-wide returns so far.
Hoover smashed the solid South—
the first *imo the Republicans have
done so in fifty years.
Hoover also took Governor Smith’s
own State of New York with its great
block of forty-five electoral votes.
The result, as tabulated to date, is
as follows:
Popular vote:
Total, incomplete, 19,246,064.
Hoover 10,879,615, Smith 8,366,-
449.
Electoral vote: '
Hoover 383, Smith 76, doubtful 72.
Hoover has also carried both houses
of congress with him by increased
Republican majorities. The Repub-
lican insurgents have apparently lost
their balance of power in the Senate.
Republican domination at both ends
of Pennsylvania Avenue in Washing-
ton has been assured.
Voting broke all records, and the
count was still incomplete early to-
day. Hoover’3 lead was growing with
each additional count.
But it was sufficient to reveal that
the American voters, in numbers
never before mobilized, have spoken
firmly for continuation of the policies
of the Coolidge administration upon
which Hoover based his appeal for
election.
Immediately the result was known,
F. Scott McBride, head of the Anti-
Saloon League, issued a formal state-
ment declaring the result was “a thor-
ough vindication of the Anti-Saloon
League.” He said the result would
be accepted by the world as “con-
vincing evidence that the American
people consider prohibition the best
method of dealing with the liquor
problem and that they are determined
to maintain the Eighteenth Amend-
ment.”
Other interpretations probably will
be placed on the result. Some will see
in it a vote of confidence in the Re-
publican party; others will regard it
as a personal vote of confidence in
Hoover, and others may feel that reli-
gious feeling had much to do with
the outcome. Just what elements were
decisive is a subject for endless de-
bate and perhaps different forces were
influential in different localities.
Crushing as Smith’s defeat has
been—Hoover’s electoral vote exceeds
that of the Coolidge landslide—he has
demonstrated great popularity and the
actual vote is closer than the ratio in
the electoral colleg-.
The most surprising element of
Smith’s defeat was his loss of New
York, the State which has four times
elected him Governor, once in face
of a Coolidge landslide. Many Re-
publicans in New York who had sup-
ported him as Governor, apparently
did not support him fof President. His
New York City vote was not sufficient
to overcome the terrific up-state ma-
jorities for Hoover.
Equally surprising was the the
brealevng of the solid South—and
Hoover’s Victory in Old Virginia, the
mov.’.er of Presidents and captain of
the old Confederacy.
All through the South, except in
South Carolina and Louisiana, Hoover
poiled tremendous votes.
Smith, however, ran up a heavy vote
in Massachusetts.
, Hoover's election was conceded by
the New York V/orld and the New
York Times, pro-Smith newspapers,
within three hours after the heavy
returns began to come in last night.
About 1 a. m. today Governor Smith,
facing the cold figures as they poured
in, admitted defeat and sent a tele-
gram to Hoover, which said:
“I congratulate you neurtily on
your victory and extend to you my
sincere good wishes for your health
and hppiness and for the success of
ycur administration.”
Smith had been bouyed up with
hopes of victory in the closing day 3
of the campaign by tho tremando >s
crowds which greeted him with ..!-
most hysterical enthusiasm wherever
he went on his his Eastern speaking
tour.

PROGRAM GRAND & GEM NEXT WEEK
The Cooper Schools have been in
session eight weeks, and the majority
of the students are working and co-
operating with the teachers to male*
this a successful year. Some student*
were very much disappointed in the
report cards that were handed out the
seventh week and they are now work-
ing and showing a great improvement.
The teachers of East Ward are mak-.
ing a special effort to help the stu-
dents by doing special work after
school is dismissed. I am sure that
no person would object to staying and
receiving this individual help. The
teachers of the High School are instlt-
j ing that the students do home work.
| It is impossible to do the work ex-

time spent at school. The teachers
of the High School are very grateful
to the girls of the Senior class tor
their service as office girls. Those
girls making passing grades in all sub-
jects and whose conduct is such that
it would not detract from the best in-
terests of the school, are asked to do
the office work, and in turn are given
special privileges.
The classes were very proud of their
deportment records: 87 per cent* of
