QUESTION OF THE WEEK?
-r—-
The" girls were rather back-
ward about coming forward to
assert themselves on this week’s
question, and, oh, how cute they
did look when they blushed and
drooped their eyelids and whis-
pered shyly, "I don’t know.”
A few. of them were bold
enough, however, to lay bare
their tenderest secret passions
and tell what they actually did
dislike most about boys. Their
confessldns follow: ■
Annie Louise Shaw: “I dislike
most of all, their bad manners.”
Evelyn Burns (blushtngly) re-
plied: “Well, I lust don’t know
how to say It. They tease you
and they think they’re smart.”
Eloise Slaughter: “Gosh, I
hadn’t given It a thought."
Bonnie Fern Doggett: "They
are mean.’’
Janet Jernigan: “Red hair.”___
WUda and Wanda Bledsoe were
agreed on the fact that they’re
conceited and W11 d a added,
heatedly: ‘Sometimes they know
you when they meet you and
sometimes they don’t.”
Ina Bea Hale Intimated that
she doesn’t like being teased by
boys.
Johnnie Weathers: (blushing,
hands before her face) “They
don't talk enough.”
Alene Ross: “They think you’re
flirting with them every time
you look at them.”
Some other answers were: “I
ain’t a sayln’.’’ "They’re so
looming silly,’’ "Everything,”
and “Nothing.” -
Some of the boys should com-
pliment the last girl, at least she
finds no fault with the present
object of her affections.

Cotton Surplus
Must Bo Reduced
WASHINGTON.—United
Senator Tom ConnaUy of
gave immediate attention oq Hr
arrival In Washington for Ota
opening of Congress to a plan Bar
reduction of the cotton surpN*.
“The accumulation of the ra*b
cotton surplus on account eft
government loans U a coneNaft .
load that Is keeping the prtoe eft
cotton down,” Senator Comuftp
aeeerted, adding: “This surgMw
must be reduced. The goveaa-
ment now has.on hand rang
than eleven million bales of taw*
cotton and by August first «ft
possibly have two additional aNfc.
lion bales.”
Continuing, Senator ConuMQp
said:
“I propose that the govern-,
ment turn over to the Commodi-
ty Credit Corporation and Uw
WPA three million bales of UN
cotton with directions, that Un
same shall be manufacture into
cotton mattresses and other cot-
ton articles for home consump-
tion and be distributed to fami-
lies on relief and to Indigent
persons who can make a shov-
ing as to need for same.”
Encourages Cotton Use.
Stressing this feature of ttm
plan, Senator ConnaUy obserraffe
, “Many persons spend thalr
lives raising cotton are In neeft
cf many simple home necessities
which could be supplied jDy tb*
utilization of cotton. Of cams
the WPA or other distributing,
agent would establish a stand-
ard as to applicants who-max. bn
worthy* so as not to disturb thp
market now supplied by manu-
facturers snd dealers. Tb glens
J
to purchase one would ncAtn toy
wise interfere with such msitob.
The tremendous cotton sarpfug-
must be reduced. The govern-
ment already has on hand thin
cotton for which It has paid. Win
are spending many hundreds of
millions for relief purpose. WhR
not spend some of this cotton
and serve the double purpose at
affording relief and also red uon
the cottor surplus.
“The surplus must be reduced
If we are to hate any succeed
with the cotton program,” Sena-
tor ConnaUy concluded.
Senator ConnaUy's action me
based on information and advice
received from many source*,
while spending the last several
months in Texas giving atten-
tion to various problems coming
before Congress with. especial in-
ference to agriculture He tra-
velled over 14,030 mile’, going
