American’s great pre— that can
print 18,000 sixteen pages an hour to
a patient and very wiling Job pre—
that prints only 2000 one-sheets an
hour, and that is how ws are print-
ing this morning.
Of course, as a newspaper, the big
tamaily of readers must come first.
So today you have only news—con-
densed to the bone, but all here—and
NO ADVEHT1EEMENTS of any hind.
You never —w a newspaper with-
out aavertiseshents before. Here la
one today.
The price reductions in Austin had
brought us a number of large ad-
vertlsementa—the volume was heavy,
something like a Sunday—but the
boiler “•truck.”
The stores are offering many re-
ductions today—go downtown and
aaa. We are very sorry/we can not
give you the adverttsementa, but we
can tell you the price reductions are
being made.
So we have made it just a news-
paper—and only tbs smallest of head-
lines.
Perhaps this is the kind at a
newspaper you wil have regularly
when the white paper gives out.
Of course, we missed many mall
tains. A
But we have hired several auto-
mobiles and are rending them over
Central Texas to keep faith with our
mall subscriber—late, but keeping
the faith.

MATLWAN, W. Va, May
Twelve men were killed and
Uni—s Austin morning trains caary
their full ahare ot Tuas legislators
tbsrs will be scarcely a quorum pres-
ent, this Thursday morning when the
third called ae—Ion of the Thirty-
sixth Texas Legislature convenes to
consider the pink boll worm situ-
atlon, school legislation, deficiency
appropriations and other mattars to
be submitted by Governor Hobby.
Legislation to control the pink boll
worm win be the first submitted for
consideration and this is expected to
take all of two weeks, fsw of the
legislators arriving in Austin having
formed any opinion in ths matter,
little iforaaation on the subject hav-
ing been presented for their en-
lightenment.
Quarantine against Texas cotton
products has been established by
heveral Southern states and the fed-
eral government threatens similar
setion unless requested regulations
are enacted into law.
Few of the pink boll worms have
been found in Texas recently and
there will be a determined fight
against ths establishment of non-
cotton zones, it being declared that
farmers are willing to ship their
cotton through gulf ports and let
the government quarantine against
rail shipments.
The proposed regulations will pro-
hibit not only the growing of cot-
ton in many Texas counties but also
regulated zones about notion ins
will work hardship on large Texas
towns.
Governor Hobby has assured
Washington satistactory laws will be
enacted but many of the members of
the Legislature say they want more
information before reaching a con-
clusion.
