DiMM^.i,
Managing Editor
Gentlemen:
In your State Edition of April 14th
you publish an article under the
caption “Our Respects to Spinach-
ville” wherein you ridicule our City
and the principal produce of our
farmers with misleading statements
and detrimental remarks.
Be assured, Gentlemen, that we
seek no argument with anyone be-
cause of his dislike for spinach or
Is that he could be funny by
ng detractive remarks about
thing, regardless as to who may
be hu.'t by such droll. However,
your insensate reflection on the
main product of our farmers and un-
complimentary statements about our
City and business is entirely un-
pardonable.
You are doubtless aware of the
fact that for many years Doctors of
world renown and authorities on
dietetics have advocated Spinach as
a very valuable article of food, be-
cause of its valuable, mineral and
vitamin content it is universally rec
ommended for growing children
Crystal City is proud in the fact j
that it is endowed by nature with i
the best spinach growing land in the
—-- ^
In keeping .with their, policy of
giving theatre patrons the very
best in service and equipment, H. A-
Daniels, owner, and Gray Miller,
manager, of the Guild Theatre, are
having installed this week a cooling
system known as the Kooler-Aire,
nature’s evapo pressure refrigera-
tion, or “Evaporative Pressure Sys-
tem.” They hope to have it in opera-
tion by Friday night. J. R. William-
son is supervising the installation.
With the perfection of certain ex-
clusive control devices, the art of
cooling air has reached its highest
peak of efficiency. It is now possible
without the use of ice or mechan-
ical refrigeration to reduce tempera-
ture to a degree of cool human com-
fort, and provide a distinctive at-
mosphere that is refreshing, invigo-
rating and healthful. The great
number of experienced concerns and
establishments througl^ut America
that use it is evident that the
“Evaporative Pressure System” is
the logical space cooling medium.

W. A. Cannon, director of ^ i ps and
Markets of College Statu , are in-
vited to be present and ts part in
the meeting.
The meeting is called to discuss
and formulate if possible a spinach
code to govern next season’s opera-
tions, also to adopt grades for spin-
ach. One party made the statement
this week that if Crystal City spin-
ach growers had adopted a standard
high grade pack for spinach in the
very beginning, and sold no other
kind, they would not now have the
trouble they are having.

and cools to the extent required,

It provides perfect ventilation with-

P. T. A. NOTES
West Nueces Street.
The spacious living room wherel
tables were placed for the games!
was abloom with an arrangement of
beautiful sweet peas and American
.anche. While attend- with a diversified program
he was inducted^nto, ‘ng_in the Soutn. . * "
is an example of one cam*
pah^and its results. Similar efforts
we™made in 1907-08-14-21 and
1927. During the first years of the
Civil War an earnest effort was
made to reduce cotton acreage bj
law through the State Legislatures,
and such a law was passed in
South Carolina limiting the acreage
to six acres per plow. The law was
filled by the plea of unconstitution-
ally. In 1915 many farm papers
took up the cause and proposed that
a graduated tax be placed on all cot-
ton produced that year and the
years following. Other means of re-
duction were the limiting or with-
drawal of credit and the discontinua-
tion of the use of fertilizers.
Such is some of the history back
of the National law just enacted.
The law provides that a tax of 50
per cent of the^ market value of cot-
ton be levied on every bale produced
on farms above the allotment for
that farm. The allotment is based on
the record of the farms production
for the past five years, and the tax
exempt bales will be 40 per cent of
the five year average. Farmers who
have not planted cotton will have
all of their crop taxed and cotton
farmers who have not entered a re-
duction contract will find that all
cotton produced above 40 per cent of
their average will be subject to the
tax. Cotton held from past years will
not be subject to tax and will be
marked the year it was produced,
and can be sold tax free. This gives
a distinct advantage to the contract
signer, and to the cotton farm with
a past record. As he signed the bill,
president Roosevelt said that jin or-
der to protect the majority from be-
ing harmed by a three or four per
cent minority such legislation was
necessary. As far as Zavala County
is concerned only a few farmers will
be seriously affected.

Senator Archie Parr, senior sen-

the Sentinel for re-election. He is,
of course, well known to the people

itude personal friends in Zavala
County who say that “Senator Parr
tlgpBTrever failed to come to the res-
ile of the people of his district in all
slation matters that might have
been detrimental to their best inter-
ests.” One of his Zavala County
friends, in conversation about Sen-
