Entered the Post Office at
Cotulla, Texas as second class
mail matter under act of Con-
gres of March 3, 1879.
All business houses in Cotulla
will be closed on next Tuesday
which is Armistics Day. No pro-
gram has been arranged as far
as we khow for this day, but it
will be observed generally.
We understand that an effort
is being made to get an acreage
planted in broom corn the com-
ing year. Broom corn has been
successfully produced in some
other sections for a number of
years and while there has been
spasmodic attempts made here
no real effort has been put into
it. Dllley and the tributary ter-
ritory will plant a thousand
acres this year. Why not mix a
little broom corn with the cot-
ton?
The announcement in last
week’s Record qthat^the jCity
Councilhwas contemplating the
building of j a iFire Station in
the Southeast corner of the park
has brought forth a protest from
the ladies of the town’in fcthe
form of a signed petition which
has been presented to the May-
or. Action on this matter will
probablyJbe had the next] regu-
lar meeting. We understand
that there has been several lots
offered the city for this building,
and some of them are centrally
located.
A great deal is said in these
days about respect for law. The
best way to increase respect for
law in theljUnited] States is for
reputable’;lawyers * to! demand
the appointment of judges of
^if^y,hi^radevThe judge
"who sentences a bootlegger to
pay a trivial fine, who releases
a bootlegger on the most trivial
of technicalities, who never
loses an opportunity to abuse
officers who are attempting to
enforce the law, does more than
any other man to determine re-
spect for government. We have
a lot of these bad judges in the
United States. Those who are
not appointed for life have
terms which expire and when
the term of a bad judge expires,
it is almost a criminal mistake
*to reappoint or reelect him.—
Exchange.
Something seems to have gone
wrong with the election count-
ing machinery. This is the
first election we can remember
where i b ;olutely no figures of
consequence were given out. On
the night of the electionthere I
were some vague reports but!
nothing definite. The Texas
Election Bureau announced a-
bout midnight that out of about
200,000 votes received Mrs. Fer-
guson had a lead, that if the
ratio were maintained would
give her a majority of probobly
100,000. Then everything stop-
ped and the people waited.
Nothing more came, became the
Texas Ele :tion Bureau received a
partial count only from the
County seat towns and probably
larger points. Within a day or
two the Republican candidate,
Dr. Butte came out with a state-
ment that he did not concede
Mrs. Ferguson’s election and
this was followed by a mighty
howl from the people all over
the state, who wanted to know
the vote. Then the Texas Elec-
tion Bureau got busy again and
wired their correspondents to
send in the total county vote as
soon as possible, and not later
than Monday night, so within a
short time, the people will know
we presume. Texas is a great
state, but somehow we fell
down completely on this election

Another Unsolved Gem Theft Mystery?

Is the Cosden-Mountbatten rob-
bery to he added to the long list of
mysterious gem thefts that have never
been solved? Anyway, it has started
out well as a mystery. Mr. and Mrs.
Joshua S. Cosden and their house
guests, Lord and Lady Louis Mount-
batten and the Hon. Mrs. Richard
Brinsley Norton, had attended a danc-
ing party on Long island, given for
the prince of Wales. The Cosden home
is at Sands I’oint. L. I. It was 5
o'clock in the morning when they re-
tired. after a llttlfi breakfast they
cooked for themselves in the kitchen
of the Cosden home. At 8:30 o'clock
Mr. Cosden's valet missed n pearl shirt
stud valued at $8,000. But that loss
was trilling compared with others dis-
covered soon after. From the dressing
tnble of Mrs. Cosden (portrait here-
with) had vanished jewelry worth
$100,000. From Lady Mountbatten’s
table were gone gems worth $42,000.
Mrs. Norton was the only member of the household fortunate enough to escape
despoliation. Lord Mnuntbatten's wallet, containing 2.000 pounds In English
banknotes, and lying on Ids wife's dressing table, had not been disturbed. A
watchman had been on duty downstairs up to 7 a. m.
Mr. Cosden is a wealthy oil man, whose racing stable is prominent in
the East.
