Mr. Armstrong carries aiong his

up on the back of his car and, places,
the "mike" on the sidewalk when he!
makes his speeches. In the short ad-j

fact that Ferguson and Bullington ^
both stood for the same thing, andj
several of their ideas were contrary

cord as an anti-prohibitionist was
well known. Both Ferguson and
Bullington were in favor of eliminat-
ing the state road work now going on
in Texas, and he (Armstrong) favored
it's continuance.
Before he spoke in Alto, he was
asked who he thought would run sec-
ond in the general election, and he
was very determined in his answer
that Ferguson would run second, and
that he would be elected by a safe
majority. Bullington is not in the
race, according to Mr. Armstrong.

The plan as presented by the co^
operatives and approved by the Gov-
ernment means ten dollars a bale
more at this time in collateralization;
value on Seed Loan cotton," Mr.
Murray said, "and this wi.l affect
more than thirty-one thousand bor-
rowers located in practically every
'ctton producing county of the state.
In addition, Mr. Murray said, "It will
mean the withholding of some 400,
000 bates of last years Seed Loan
cotton and 600,000 bales this years
Seed Loan cotton off the present
market during the usual heavy mar-
keting season, thereby giving most
mbstmtial support to the market.
All cotton farmers and business gen-
erally in the State will feel the effect
of the recent decision which is of far
reaching and beneficial effect," ha.
A tentative report has been lodged
to this effect with the State Highway
Commission, but a questionnaire re-
questing more detaiied information
has been received from a special State
committee of three appointed to hear
the county claims, Perkins pointed
out. The Commissioers' Court of

the final report is ready as soon as
possible, he said, since all claims are

thirty days from October 1.
The records to be examined go
batk to 1917, when the first road
bond issue in the county was voted
by the Jacksonviile Road District to
the amount of $250,000. The next
warrant issue was made by the coun-
ty as a whole for $200,000 to con-

The play opens in the home of
Martha Wentworth (Mrs. Ted Bow-

their Government lpans and relens'*
the balance of the crop if necessary
to apply on other indebtednesses and
local purchases of needed merchan-
dise and equipment," Mr. Murray
continued.
It was also anounced that the co-
operatives have set up special Seed
Loan Pools to care for this cotton
and that the complete services of the
organization through its numerous
branch officer in charge of Federally
licensed classers are available to se-
t'ur* the collateralization privil ges
which are included in the Govern-
ment's ruling.
Mr. Murray further stated, "That
where last years loans were fully
collateralized at eight cents a pound
there wiil be no requirement to sell
cotton and pay last years loan. This
years loans will be collateralized at
nine cents per pound with present al
lowance for seed and four fifths cents
per pound for picking and ginning.
The balance of last years indebtedness
if any will be cotlateralized on same
basis as this years loans and when all
outstanding indebtedness to the Gov-
ernment has been so collateralized re-
maining cotton may be disposed of by
borrower without regard for second
lien held by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture." The cotton must be all classed
by Federally licensed classers and
either delivered to the co-operatives
or placed in Federally bonded ware-
houses, Mr. Murray said. "Borrowers
may reserve option to fix price on
collateralized cotton up to March
first after which time Secretary ofj
Agriculture reserves right to sell
completed. In connection with that
study outline if they a^ conscien-
tious, they will teach hygiene and all
of it's tributaries; thev will also teach
morals from every standpoint; they
will especially emphasize on strict
obeyance and enforcement of the law.
So you see what the public school
teacher has to inculcate ^ in the mind
of the children. It is a tig job to place
that information in the minds of 450

Miss Gladys Deason is directing the
play, her successful production of
"Miss Blue Bonnet" will be remem-
bered by those who saw it here last
spring.
Miss Deason says she is happy to
have almost the same cast who made
her former play a success.
