Burton received its first bale
of cotton for this season Thurs-
day when Thad Knittel brought
it in and sold it to Hermann
Fischer. The bale brought 9.50
cents per pound. Giddings also
received its first bale this week.
Cotton in this section is about
three weeks late, due to the
spring freeze and heavy rains
later. However, it is predicted
that it will be moving freely

It has been three months sirice
Hitler invaded the low countries,
spreading terror throughout the
world, and Pres. Roosevelt made
his historic speech to congress
urging immediate action toward
creating .an air force of 50,000
airplanes. Congress acted prompt-
ly to provide the money for
the first contingent of 4,000
planes. By this time, one -would"
think American factories would
be turning them out- in mass
production. How many do you
suppose have been ordered? The
War Department announced to-
day only 33 have been'contract-
ed for. Something is wrong at
Washington. Such delay can
easily prove fatal. We face an
emergency and precious mom-
ents are being lost.
From Camp Mystic comes a
’"write up” of Miss IJorothea
Hasskarl, Brenham girl who has
served as counselor there this
summer. Says the item: "This is
Dorothea Hasskarl's eighth sum-
mer at Camp Mystic, however it •
is the first season she has been
a counselor. Dorothea was nine
years old her first summer in
1931. It was this year that she
wtm the Junior Best Camper's
Cup. In 1933 she came back to.
camp and won the. Arts and
Crafts medal. In 1934 she won
the swimming medal. The fol-
lowing' year . she received her
"M” and made the swimming
and dramatics club. In 1936
Dorothea was elected scribe of
her tribe, and was awarded the
Best Tonk Bracelet. In 1938 she
won the Senior Best Camper's
Cup. and was elected assistant
tribe captain. In 1939 Dorothea
was captain of her tribe and
made several sport clubs. This
year Dorothea was a counselor
in riflery and assisted in Arts
and Crafts. She was also Camp
Inspector. She was elected the
most popular counselor on camp.
On the fourth of July Dorothea
was Duchess of Camp Mystic in
the Kerrville Rodeo. And lastly
Dorothea was sponsor of her
tribe.”

back from Port Arthur, brought
a story of destruction he wit-

went to Port Arthur Wednesday
to return Jimmy James, stunt

Brenham, back to Temple to
face charges of swindling filed
following his stunt there. He had
James with him. Fischer said he
ran into the storm Wednesday
afternoon. The wind was blow-
ing 90 miles ap- hour, and the
rain was so heavy he could not
see. He pulled over to the side
of- the road and spent the night
there. Residents of that' area
told him this was the worst
hurricane to strike there in the
■ last 25 years. At the little town
of China, this side of Beaumont,
he saw a 10-ft. fldgpole which
the wind had bent double, stick-
ing .the upper end into the^

BELLVILLE, Aug 9 ' At the
August meeting of the commis-
sioners court, it was voted to re-
duce the county tax rate of 46
cents to 44 ^ents for the coming
year and lar ger reductions in most
of the road districts were ordered,
according to County Judge J. L*-'-
Dittert. Already enjoying one of
the lowest tax rates in the entire
state, the new reduction is Viewed
by observers as a distinct tribute
to the ability and integrity of
county officers. Especially in the
great reduction of road district
levies is the careful and wise ad-
ministration of county affairs in-
flected.
The new rate of 41 cents will Is-1
made up as follows: jury fund. 2
cents; special warrant fund, 1 went kei-plunk

(By the United Press)
Great Britain waged increasing-
ly furious aerial war against Ger-
many and Italy today but created
a sensation in t:ve Far East by
ordering withdrawal of British
ti-oops from China.
Between 2.000 and 3.000 British
tjroops at Shanghai, Peiping, and
Tientsin were ordered to other Far
Eastern posts, reportedly at the
•‘request" of Japan.
The British withdrawal* left
United States, Italian, and French
forces in the international settle-
fnent at Shanghai and was viewed
by Chinese as furthering the Jap-
anese campaign for control of the
'settlement, and for extension of
Tokio's domination over Eastern
Asia.
In the British Isles, German air-
planes renewed bombing raids in
almost all parts of England and
.Wales following unprecedented air
battles yesterday in which about
lJ09 airplanes of both sides were
Reported shot down. The British
«)ir ministry claimed that 60 Gel-
man planes said to represent one-
Neventh of the attacking force
| weife destroyed, while at least two
inore were shot down this morn-
ing in new raids.
Britain lost only 16 planes, the
ministry said.
1 The Germans claimed the des-
truction of 49 British planes; and
asserted they lost only 10.
