The particular prejudice to
which I must refer is that of
supporting the game of basket
ball, the season which is now
upon us. I as wsll as you have
remarked many times that
school chaps are thinking too
much of athletics and to some
extent we are right. But at
the vsame time such activities
must prevail to some etxent.
Mineola High has the best
team it has ever had in this
sport. The lads of the school
defeated last week the strong
University team of Simmons,
of Abilene. They look like real
cthampions. They represent this
town of Mneola. It is neces-
sary that Mineola supports this
team to the limit. With the
live and active backing from
this town which this team de-
serves this season, Mineola
High School should become
champions of the High Schools
of Texas. Fall in, the Shoulder
Arms! Farward March! Help
the boys win this state champ-
ionship.

" "Cotton is the overcoat of
a seed that is planted and
growti in the Southern States
to keep the producer broke and
the buyer crazy," said G. B.
Dealey. president of The Dal-
las News and The Dallas Jour-
nal, at the annual cotton con-
test banquet at the Baker Ho-
tel Friday night.
;<The fiber varies in color
and weight and the man who
can guess the nearest " the
length of a fiber is called a cot-
ton man by the public, a fool
by the farmer and a poor busi-
ness man by his creditors.'
"The price of cotton is fixed
in New York and goes up when
you have sold and down when
you have bought. A buyer
working for a group of mills
was sent to New York to watch
the cotton market and after
a few' days' deliberation wired
his firm' to this effect; "Some
think it will go up, some think
it will go down. I do, too.
What ever you do will be
wrong.. Act at once."
•'Cotton is planted in the
r>rinj?. morteraered in the sum-
mer and left in the field in
winter." !
"There are other definitions
as to what is cotton, but none
better than this."
