C. D. Willingham
W ill Make Race
For Constable
The Monitor this week car-
ries the announcement of C. D.
Willingham" as candidate for
Constable of Precinct No. 2 of
this county, subject to the ac
tion of the Democratic Primary.
Mr. Willingham needs no in-
troduction to our citizenship,
as he has lived all of his life in
this county, and for more than
twenty years has served as
Constable or City Marshal.
His ability is unquestionable,
his democracy is 100 per cent,
and" he states that if he is
chosen to 'fill the office to
which he aspires, he will give
the citizenship of this precinct
the service the office demands.
The voters of this precinct
are urged to give his candidacy
full consideration.
Last Note Paid
On School Gym
News of vital interest to the
signers of the notes made to
build the local school gymnasi-
um will be the announcement
made this week by Supt. B. A.
Copass, that the payment has
been made this week on the
final note of the series, and
that now there is no outstand-
ing indebtedness against the
building.
The building of the gymna-
sium was accomplished by the
use ofthe salvaged lumber
secured from the old grammar
school located on the same
grounds, WPA labor, individual
assistance and donations, and
further financed by funds se-
cured by a loan signed by a
good number of interested citi-
zens.
These notes have been paid
off from funds derived from
athletic events during the past
several years without the sign-
ers of the notes having been
out anything whatever.
Cox Anticipates
Heavy '38 Cotton
Carryover in U.S.
Volume of world demand for
cotton has not responded to
the relatively very low price
of cotton since 1931 as much
as it should, partly because
of political interference, Dr. A.
B. Cox, director of the Univer-
sity of Texas Bureau of Busi-
ness Research and an inter-
nationally known cotton econo-
mist, has pointed out. Some
countries of Europe, especially
Germany, Italy, and Spain, con-
sumed about one million bales
less cotton in 1936-37 than in
1928-29, largely because of their
inability to establish satisfac-
tory foreign trade relations, Dir.
Cox explained.
"The indicated supplies of
cotton in the United States on
January 1, 1938, were 17,448,000
bales compared with 11,794,000
bales on this date last year,
and a previous all-time high
of 17,090,000 on this date,
1932,' he said. "The buying
power price in January, 1932,
was 9.64 cents, and it is now
10.67 cents.
"Stocks of cotton in the U. S.
increased 5,654,000 bales from
January 1 last year. This big
increase in stocks of cotton
in the United States is sup-
plemented by an increase of
566,000 bales of United States
cotton in European ports and
afloat in Europe.
"Price calculations based on
average changes in index prices
resulting from average changes
in supplies over the past seven
years indicate a New Orleans
price ranging from about 7.75
to 8.30 cents."

Overflow Waters
Damage Bridges
Bridges on Highway 80 be-
tween Mineoia and Gladewater
are still undergoing repair re-
quired because of the damage
suffered during the recent
overflow. Light traffic was per-
mitted through Wednesday
morning although overload traf-
fic was still forced to detour
The Mineoia High School
buses were forced to make
several detours the first of the
week in order to avoid im-
passable bridges and cover all
the required territory. Although
the buses arrived slightly late
a morning or two all of the
children managed to reach
school.
Unless further damages is
encountered all repairs should
be ifinished by today.

Farm Cash Income
Shows Increase
Over Last Year
Cash incomq '-from agriculture
in Texas durteg December as
computed by the University of
Texas Bureau of Business Re-
search was $26,121,000, whereas
the average Decemfber farm
cash income during the base
period—1928-1932—was approxi-
mately $23,040,000. Thus the
farm cash income in December
1937, was 113.2 per cent of
that of the average December
farm cash income during the
five year period, 1928 to 1932,
inclusive. For 1936 the com-
puted farm cash income for
Texas during December was
only $20,450,000 or 88.6 per cent
of that during the average
December in the base period.
The increase in farm cash in-
come in December, 1937, over
the corresponding month the
year before was nearly 23 per
cent.

JOHN DONAHO
Pastor
No one likes to tie called a
softie, but nobody wants to
wear anything else in the way
of shoes, according to advance
reports on shoe-buying for
spring. Softies lead in sports,
walking and general town ver-
sions.
Calfskin, suede and bucko
are THE materials for coming
shoes, with patents and gab-
ardines holding their own but
not leading. Pumps are gain-
ing fast headway over ties and
other styles, and are making a
bid for the reigning favorite.
Color, which made such a fast
start in shoes last year, is now
getting its second wind. Paris
blue, bright orange, strong cop-
per tones, purples, odd blues,
pastel and natural colors will
all play their part in the pa-
rade.
Much of the color idea will
be brought in througn appli-
que work and pipings. A pop-
ular pattern with girls at Texas
State College for Women will
be tan pigskin or suede com-
bined with lizard, and all-over
lizard will also dot the fashion
front.

Kilgore Citizens
Ired by Captions
In Photo Magazine
Kilgore residents were incen-
sed Thursday night, and the
magazine Life was the subject
of their anger.
The reason for the feeling
was a two-page layout of pic-
tures devoted to Kilgore and
its recent oil fire and caption-
ed:
"Small, flat and naked, as
many another community in
the vast East Texas oil pool,
Kilgore stands high in the
United States gazeteer of mu-
niciple unsightedness."
Charles K. Devall, publisher
of the Kilgore Herald, said he
was going to make an immedi-
ate protest to the magazine
against such description of the
city.
Mayor Roy Laird was dis-
gusted with the article, but
said he would not make a pro-
test in the name of the city.
"Life is hurting its own pres-
tige more than Kilgore's by
printing such stuff," he said.
o-
Mrs. C D. Stinnett, Mrs. Mon-
roe Parsons, and Miss Marie
Bass visited in Tyler the first
of the week.
Teachers Lead 154
Pupils to Safety
Seven teachers and 154 pu-
pils marched out of the build-
ing unharmed Thursday when
fire destroyed the Noonday
schoolhouse ten miles south of
Tyler.
The only casualty was Mrs.
Varine Fite, a teacher, who suf-
fered a bruised foot when a
desk fell on it.
Miss Ruby Tipps, a primary
grade teacher, discovered the
fire when she noticed flames
breaking through the ceiling.
She told her pupils to march
in order out to the school yard,
then she notified the other
teachers.
Property damage was esti-
mated at $17,500.
A fire, which started in the
attic, was believed caused by a
defective flue.

Yarbrough Announces—
Judge Ralph W. Yarbrough
Monday turned his gavel over
to James P. Hart, former Travis
county district attorney, in tak-
ing leave of absence from the
bench of the 53rd District Court
to promote his campaign for
attorney general. Like Mann,
Judge Yarbrough will be one
of the outstanding candidates
in this race.
*****
More Politics—
Senator Nelson of Lubbock,
advocate of a unicameral leg-
islature, and Walter Woodward,
defeated three years ago by
Bill McCraw for attorney gen-
eral, will make the race for
Lieutenant Governor an inter-
esting one to watch. Former
House Speaker Coke Stevenson
has already entered this race.
Outstanding in East Texas poli-
tics will be the fight for Mor-
gan Sanders' seat in congress.
Thus far District Judge Walter
Russell and Smith County Judge
Brady P. Gentry appear the
most formidable aspirants.
Meanwhile, the state capitol
is quiet—shivering with the
coldest wave of winter.
And the best is only to be found att
Sanders . . . Best in styling, treament,
and service... Best for that perfect glow
of lustrous hair that adds so much to
beauty.
Your entire family can enjoy the bene-
fits of a better beauty and barber ser-
vice here at Sanders'.
