Hear Secretary At
Dallas Meeting
"Texas and the cotton growing
states are as a whole about twice
as well off as they were a year ago,
due to the fact .that the national re-
covery measure, covering agricu tute
and American exporting, have tliu«
far worked fairly well for this pai.t

the Department of Agriculture, said
in Dallas last Friday, Cline E. Mor-

return from the meeting.
Others attending the meeting from

*
were: P. T. Findley, John Steadham,
of the East Plains, and Ci W. Mann
of Balls. ' ~
Cotton prices are about twice what
they were this time in 1933, the Se-
cretary answered a question as to
the effectiveness of the cotton con-
trol program. "What more could you
expect in that short time."
As -for the monetary program of,
the administration, particularly in
the devaluation of the dollar, this has
undoubtedly stimulated cotton export
and been of heavy benefft to the cot-
ton produce? through higher world
prices for cotton in terms of tha
dollar, he said.
Applying his pamphlet thesis to
the cotton growing south, Secretary
Wallace said that Southerners have
about two years before they must
decide definitely on whether they
want a permanent cotton control
program or not. - ~
It will take that long to get rid of.
the heavy carry-over and get down
to a yearly normal yield, he said.
Then the South must decide&whe-

When Ben B. Lindsey as Juvenile
Judge in Denver was trying to awak-
en the public to the.Jterrible facts of
Juvenile Delinquecy he was a target
for all kinds of attacks. Clergymen
thundered at him; politicians threat-
ened him; scandal mongers assailed
him, "Liar, charlaatan, notoriety
'seeker," they shouted, "It couldn'>
happen to my girl." "
Yet, Judge Lindsey was telling the
truth—always. And he was helping,
sheilding, saving, the daughters of
some of the very people who so bit_
terly attacked him. It could and did
happen to their daughters, and it can.
happen to almost any man's chil"d
unless the parents can be awakened
to the danger tfcat confronts the
youth of today "The Road to Ruin,"
which opens at the Queen Jheatre
today, is a very frank and straight-
forward presentation of the facts ot
Juvenile Delinquecy and affords ser-
ious food for thought for all parents
as well as containing a tremendous,
warning to all younger people.
E. Fox and His Popular Players.
Years ago, the Fox show traveled
the State of Texas, establishing a
reputation for presenting clean, and
wholesome entertainment and it was
■on this show that Harley Sadler
worked and started in a business in
which he was to later become fam-
ous. Fox went east to play big tim*
vaudeville with his family, and Sad-
ler organized his own show,- now
known as the most successful tent
show in America. They become re-
united Christmas, when Roy E< Fox
and His Popular Players came to
Harley Sadler and His Own Compa-
ny as the special added attraction.
The opening play in Crosbyton is
"No Wedding Bells," in three acts
with a thirty minute musical over-
ture by the orchestra and eight acts
of big time vaudeville interspaced
between the acts of the play.
Popular prices will prevail but for
the convenience of those who desire
them, a few choice numbered re-
served seats, at slight additional
cost, will be ort sale starting Monday
noon at Brazier Drug Store. On
Monday night, in Crosbyton, one la-
dy will be admitted free when ac-
companied by one paid adult ticket
and the ladies free coupon ^contained' -
in the show's advertisement in this
issue of the Crosbyton Review. A
record breaking crowd is predicted to
greet Harley Sadler and his all new
company Mor#jay night.
