Start the New Year Right—
PUT ON Kgix YS
Nineteen twenty will be the greatest year of the great South!
With the American Cotton Association's plans fairly under way,
there will be such a wave of business, ef prosperity, as has never even
been dreamed of tor the Southern farmer, the merchant, the bankor.
The day of cotton is at hand No longer will the cotton farmer
feed himself out of the supply man’s tin can aud pork barrel, uutil
at the end of the year he owes lus whole crop.
Instead, according to the American ( otton Association s plans, he
will grow better cotton on less acreage, and on the rest of his farm
he will raise his own fruit, his own vegetables, his own meat. Then,
when his cotton is picked ami baled he will store it in Hie system of
warehouses advocated by the American Cotton Association and sell
it at a fair price.
This bank stands for that kind of fanning—because that kind of
farmers will have money to put into the bank at the end of the year.

The Country Gentleman also advocates Cotton Plus Fruit Plus

28—ene of a great series about the American Cotton Association and
tire new freedom of the South which is coming through It. (Tho

The Ford Sedan, with electric self-starting
and lighting system and demountable rims with
3^-inch tires front and rear, for every day in
the year has no equal as a family car. Just an
popular on the farm ns it is in the city. In fact,
it fits the family demands in every vocation of
life. Large, roomy scats, finely upholstered, plate
glass windows make it an open car in pleasant
weather, while in rainy and inclement weather
it becomes a closed car, dust-proof and rain-
proof. It is not only comfortable, but really
cozy, and above all, economical in operation
and maintenance, and has all the Ford merits
of strength and durability.

This year’s prospects . .
are brighter than they have been for
a, number of years. Captain David
Wynne reports snappy practice, and
an abgorblng interest on the part of
the players. According to Wynne,
there are more out for baseball than
there has been for any other sport:

On the days of the dates mentioned
above our representatives from Mat-
agorda County. Including Jeff Davis
High, will attend the district tuter-
lscholastic meet at Houston tor the
‘year 1920. The representatives of the
jcounties of Harris, Galveston, Bra-

also assemble at Houston. Together
these many different representatives
'will compete for the honors of repre-
senting their school at the state meet
i which is to be held at Austin in May.
Bay City will he represented at Hous-
■ ton in both athletics and literary
events. Among ottr representatives
who took first place in the county
'meet are: O. T. Hotchkiss and H.
T. Woolsey who will represent Mata-
gorda County in debating; David
Wynne who will take part in extem-
pore speaking: Berkeley Holman In
senior boy's declamation; and last
but not least. Re Ide Perry who will be
our representative In senior spelling
J. D. H. S. also showed up as well
j in athletics as she did tn literary
'events. Among our representatives in
'athletics we have Reide Perry and
■ Arthur Meyer who are our Junior rep-
, rcsentatives in tennis doubles; Leslie
j Watkins, our senior representative in
disc throwing, and let us here add
that Leslie has already broken the
state record with very little trouble,
what will do if he tries? Then we
have J. F. Hudson in the running
high Jump for the juniors and David
Wynne for the seniors. We have
many more representatives going but
we have not the time to stop to men-
. tion them all here, although we are
tis proud of them as we are the others.
' Besides our representatives to the
'district meet we have many other stu-
dents who are going only to help boost
,our representatives. Among some of
11lie boosters are: Lillian Harris. Ed-
'wnrd Shoultz, Wathen Simons, Jack
