around Mesquite, but as they
stay on the list and pay for it
we are justified in concluding
that they think the paper is
worth a dollar a year just tor
two.
MRS. M. M. BENNETT—
Another one of those read-
ers dating back to the time the
paper was founded is Mrs. M.
M. Benett of Dallas, a grand
old woman, who lived at Mes-
quite for many years and
'whom we expect to keep on
our list as long as she lives.
She sent us a dollar for re-
newal one day this week by
her son-in-law, Charlie Cole of
Dallas, Rt. 3.
MRS. S. A. McBRlDE-
"I couldn't get along at all
without the Mesquiter,'' said
Mrs. S. A. McBride of (Rt. 4
when she came in the office a
few days ago, to renew her
subscription and of course we
are very much pleased to
know that so splendid a wom-
an as Mrs. McBride finds the
Mesquiter necessary to her
happiness.
Negroes Gain In
Dallas Schools
Enrollment in the Dallas
city schools this year shewed
a heavy increase in the number
of negro pupils over last year
ahd a large decrease in the
number of white students but
the increase in the enrollment
f negro pupils was large
■enough to give the schools of
ih.it city a net increase of 34S
ovt last year.
Enrollment up to Monday
totaled 41,317 as compared
with 40,317 as compared with
40,969 at the same period last

tem !—Ex.
S. B. JACOBS—
In all the years we have
been publishing the Mes-
quiter we do not think there
was ever a time when S. B
Jacobs of Rt. 2 was as much
as a day behind. His subscrip-
tion expires in February and
he usually comes in a month
or two before his time is up
to renew, but this time he
came early, probably feeling
that the editor, having gone
through a hard spring and
summer, would appreciate thv
money now, and we did. Mr.
Jacobs was in Saturday and
paid to February 1, 1935.
R. N. KEARNEY—
Route 2 is one of the best
routes for the Mesquiter and
among the loyal readers on
tenths that route is R. N. Kearney
We happened to meet him in
the lobby of the bank Monday
and he handed us a couple uf
(3.2 dollars, to pay subscription up
to date and nearly a year in
advance, and did it so cheer-
fully that we were made to feel
he to is of the opinion; that the
paper is worth the price.
MRS. E. A. MOON—
After the death of that
splendid pioneer. Mrs. A. J.
Toppel, some months ago the
paper which had been going to
her for many years, was
changed to her daughter, Mrs.
E. A. Moon, with whom she
mad'e her home, and though
we lost one reader, we did not
lose a subscription. Mrs. Top-
pel always paid in advance
from the time her subscrip-
tion expired or soon thereaf-
ter and Mrs. Moon is following
her example, as she came in
Saturday and the figures op-
posite her name now read
"Aug. 15, 1934."
WACO CRANE—
Waco Crane of Rt. 4, used to
pull a lever on a Washington
hand press to print the Mes-
quiter when he was a boy. The
paper now is printed on a
large cylinder press, with elec-
tric motor for power and we
print» about three times as
many papers in about one
eighth of the time that it used
to take Waco to print them
Usually when one gets smell
of printers' ink they stick to
it, but! Waco didn't, as he pre-
ferred to farm. TTe has our
thanks for a recent renewal :•{
subscription.
his life, as his father, the laiv
IR„ H. Hall was a subscriber
until his death and our recol-
lection is that Henry has been
a subscriber ever since lie had
a home of his own. The dollar
he gave us a day or so ago
paid him to Sept. 23. 1934.
REV. GEO. M. GIBSON—
All of our readers except
comparatively new comers will
recall with pleasure Rev. Geo.
M. Gibson, who once served as
pastor of the Methodist
church in Mesquite. lie has
been taking the Mesquiter
ever since he left Mesquite. H-i
is now and has been for soni
years pastor of the First C n-
gregational Church in Wei
ster Grove, Mo., from whene

scription due and for n:
than a year in advance came

Gl'S PASCHALL—
We doubt if there is .civ
weekly paper in Texas that
litis as many subscribers nam.-d
Paschall as has the Mesquiter
We have1 a large number by
that name and we are glad to
have them, as they are the
kind who appreciate the paper
and show it by paying for
promptly. The latest of that
name to get on the Mesquiter
honor roll was Gits Paschall < f
Rt. 2, who dropped in Monday
and moved his figures up to
September, 1934.
W. L. PASCHALL
And here comas another
Paschall, in the person of
that very progressive farmer
and croquet player, W. L
Paschall, who came in Tues-
day aind renewed his sub
scription, remarking as he did
so: "This is my forty first
dollar to. the Mesquiter." Mr.
Paschall was just* a boy at
home with his father, the late
"Uncle Billy" Paschall when
the Mesquiter was established
a little more than fifty one
years ago but by the time the
paper was ten years old he-
had married and had a home
of his own, and the Mesquiter
has been a regular visitor in
that home ever since. Mr.
Record Breaking
Use Of Cotton
New York, Sept. 18—More
American cotton was moved
into domestic consumption
and exported during August
this year tham in any other
August in the history of the
cotton trade, it was reported
today by the New York Cotton
Exchange.
The movement aggregated
1,129.000 bales in August,
compared with only 884,000
last year and 660,000 two
years ago. In only one other
year, that being the World
War year of 1917, has the
movement of American cotton
in August exceeded 1,000,000
bales.
Domestic consumption and
exports both ran at an unus-
ually high rate last momith, it
was reported. The domestic
consumption of 589,000 bales
was larger than in amy other
August except or.e. The export
total of 540,000 bales has ne\-
er been equaled in any prev-
ious August. Exports usually
run light ill August, since the
new crop movement only be-
gins duritng that month*.
"The combination of a re-
duced stoek at the beginning
oif this season on August 1, the
.smaller size of the new crop
and the very heavy movement
ill August resulted in the total
supply in this country on Aug-
ust 31 being far less than on
the same date last year or the
year before," the exchange re-
ported.
"The total domestic stock at
the end of August, including
the estimated unpicked portion
of the crop, was 19,066,000
bales, compared with 21,452,000
on the corresponding date last
year, and 22,353,000 two years
ago. The stock was thus 2,386,-
000 bales smaller than last
year and 3,287,000 less than
two years ago.
"These statistics indicate
that the excess i:i the supply
of cotton in this country over
and above the normal or av
: ratfe supply has been reduce 1
by about 60 per cemt. In th"
five \ ears prior to the world
trade depression, the average
end-August stock of cotton in
this country was approximate-
ly 17,000,000 bales.
"Accordingly, the stock of
22.353,000 bales at the end of
August two years ago repre-
sented an excess supply of
about 5,300,000 bales. This ex-
cess has now been reduced to
alx:sut 2,100,000 bales."
