Where Seeing Ought to
Prove the Point
There were over 5,000 persons who
attended the District Fair here last
week. Every visitor saw something
that was new to him, but to the
writer the outstanding exhibit was
that ahowing articles made from cot-
ton cloth. There are a hundred uses
Cm- the cloth made at the Brazos
Valley Cotton Mills here; why is not
that cloth utilized more in the mak-
ing of clothing and furnishings by
the people of West?
. The ladies paraded in their home-
grown. home-manufactured and home
made dresses. These dresses were
attractive in every way. They drew
the admiration of every one who saw
them. They were inexpensive, yet
they will wear much longer than
Freeses made from other kinds of
Material.
Other articles of clothing made
from the WVst-manu factored cloth
were shown. Men’s shirts, durable
aad inexpensive, made from this
doth will serve the working man for
a long time. Men's trousers made of
the same material will serve along
with the shirts. For the housewife,
_, smocks, skirta, pajamas and
r articles of apparel may be made
our home-manufactured cotton
Lnd for the furnishing of the
■e, myriads of invaluable articles
be made economically from this
al. Window shades curtains,
spreads, sheets, pillow canes,
mats, laundry bags, tea towels,
on sets, ice bags, hot plate
__, dresser covers, clothespin bags,
parch pillows, wall pockets, scarfs,
fancy work, are a few.
For the farmer, wagon sheets, live
■lock covers, tents, sheets for pro-
tecting feed and cotton, sheets for
aavenng machinery, and other inval-
uable aids will wear longer if made
from cotton cloth. The machinist
■say procure wiping waste at the
The principle of economy shoull
aaeourage every citizen of this city
U> favor the use of the Brazos Val-
ley Cotton Mills products, but there
are other reasons just as vital. This
factory is a West institution. It is
for this city and its interests. For
every dollar which it pays to its em-
ployreit. at least 75c is spent here.
When it is not running, the depres-
sion is even more felt than if such
ware not the ease.
Going still further, the surplus
cation of this vicinity can be used in
manufacturing the cloth. The fat-m-
ar's cotton is his living; if it is used
he profits. Large consumption re-
acts to his betterment and thst of the
entire South.
Thus, the use of the Brazos Valley
Cotton Mills' goods means profit for
everyone, the farmer, the mill, the
awrehant and the consumer. Fair
viators now know the varied uses of
eotton cloth; it ia to their benefit and
profit that they use it.

his father In n home where another
woman had usurped his mother’s
place; and his mother lived in the
house next door where hot words
could conveniently be exchanged. He
heard his father's mistress curse and
conspire against his mother. And
then he tried to kill the woman who
seemed to be the source of all his
troubles. v
He was the victim of his environ-
ments.
Fortunately he was born two years
too late to pay the supreme penalty
for his crime. Hie youth saves him
from the chair.
But what of society’s responsibili-
ty in the matter? Is this an isolat-
ed, or a typical case of circumstances
that lead to juvenile criminality and
delinquency? And what are we go-
ing to do nbout it?
The time has come when Texas
laws that arc presumed to protect
children against such conditions
should be carefully scrutinised. Some-
thing is amiss, when an affair like
this can lift its head in the midst of
a civilised Texas community,
Sports Review
Alvarado 3, Bruceville-Eddy 0, Rea-
gan 2. In the last four games they
have been forced to kick only 6 times.
How's that for a record?
The McGregor Bulldogs and the
Mart Panthers staged their annual
battle at Mart Wednesday, the Bull-
dogs winning by 12 to 0.
And neither club showed anything
startling in the contest.
When West and McGregor tie up
here next Wednesday afternoon it
should be a thrilling 60 minute scrap.
We believe that the Bulldogs, play-
ing at the top of their stride, can
beat McGregor and Mart.
That’s something they have never
done before, but if they will really
hustle and give all they have, it can
be done.
Last week's game showed that they
have improved wonderfully since the
Itasca game. Reagan was the sec-
ond strong team that the Bulldogs
have played and Kozelski’s Purps
looked really good.
All they will have to do to win the
district title will be to continue to
block and tackle as they did Friday.
And you can give much of the
credit for Friday’s showing to the
line. The tackles and guards are lit-
tle noticed, but they take most of the
punishment and smash the interfer-
ence to stop their opponents.
The final showing of a team can
generally be attributed to the line.
As the line goes, so goes the team;
don’t forget it.

Today the locals take on the vet-
eran Moody club here.
Joe Potter’s team will he no set-
up, and the Bulldogs will have to
show some hustle to wni.
Should they emerge victorious to-
day, they will be directly in line for
the district championship. Give them
some encouragement!
Juvenile Delinquency
Juvenile delinquency is again in the
spotlight.
A fifteen year-old Houston boy re-
cently surrendered to Houston offi-
cers, a self-confessed murderer. Study
of the history of his case fixes upon
society much of the responsibility for
his crime.
He is the third of three children to
become wards of the state. He lived
his life in an atmosphere of constant
bickering and strife. He lived with

We were severely lectured this
week by a Hillsboro fan for not men-
tioning his team more.
But, honestly, we thought that
when the Eagles beat Waco their sea-
son was a success and they were
ready to turn in their uniforms.
As another Hillsboro fan stated,
Charley Taylor’s men have done two
things this year that they have ne-
ver accomplished before, namely,
beating Wlaco and placing men on the
all-district team.
If they beat Cleburne and Wnxah-
achie another feat will be added, that
of winning more than half of the
district games.
For the Eagles, Burt in the back-
field and Colville on end will proba-
bly he picked on the “all” club. Sum-
ner and Orr may place,

A Houston scribe may have thought
he had uncovered a record when a
Bayou City club punted only once In
a game last week, but he was wrong.
When it cornea to Claes B football,
the Bulldogs' 1831 kicking record
might be interesting. In six games
they have punted only 16 times, an
average of about 2 1-2 times per four
quarters.
Following are the games the locals
have played and the number of times
they have booted in each contest:
