Dallas, Texas, Nov. 23.—On Decem-
ber 15, the Texas Farm Bureau Cot-
ton Association will distribute $5,468,-
000 to its members, instead of $4,207,
702 dollars, as announced recently, ac-
cording to statement issued today by
J. T. Orr, president of the association.
The increase is made possible, he
said, by the action of the executive
committee in ncreasing the per bale
advauce from $70 to $95, instead of
$90 as previously agreed upon. The
d-stribution will cover the advance
plyment on 153,000 bales of cotton
handled for its members by the asso-
ciation up to the close of business
November 24, orr stated.
Houston, Texas, Nov. 23.—Dr. Paul
Whitfield Horn, superintendent of
the Houston public schools for 16
years, now president of the South-
western university at Georgetown,
was unanimously elected president of
Texas Technological college, to be
built at Lubbock, at a meeting of the
board of regents, held in the Rice ho-
tel here this afternoon.
Dr. Horn formally accepted the ap-„
pointment and will present his resig-
nation to the board of Southwestern
university at once, effective January
1, at which time he will take up his
new duties.
Dr. Horn thanked the regents for
the honor they had done him, and ex-
pressed the hope that he would justify
their confidence in him by leading in
the upbuilding of one of the really
great schools of the nation.
The selection of Dr. Horn as gover-
ning head of the new school, which
will take equal rank with A. & M.
college, ends * deadlock which has

his education at Central college, Fay-
ette, Mo., and at Baylor university.

stitute at Jasper, Tenn., in 1889 and
held it two years. He resigned to be-
come principal of the Sherman, Texas
high school where he remained until
1904, when he came to Houston, "to
, assume charge of the school system
nere. He resigned in 1920, spent a
year in Mexico and returned to Texas
as president of Southwestern univer
sity.

mons college, Abilene and Dr. J. W.
Cantwell, former head of the Oklaho-
ma A. & M. college and for a number
of years superintendent of the Fort
Worth public schools, were consifler-
ed for the presidency.
Members of the board are: Amon
G. Carter, Fort Worth; J. W. Mea-
dow's, Waco; W. P. Hobby, Beaumont;
Clifford B. Jones, Spur; John Carpen-
ter, Dallas; Mrs. Charles De Groff,
El Paso; R. E. Underwood, Plain
view; Dr. J. E. Nunn, Amarillo and
Mrs. Frank Drane of Corsicana.
The Techniloggical college was au
thorized by an act of the legislature
at its last regular session, after the
fast developing sections of West and
Northwest Texas had carried on a
fight for a West Texas A. & M. col-
lege for years. Advocates of a sepa-
rate A. & M. school for this region,
pointed out that it is closer to Denver
or Wichita, Kansas than it is College
Station and that the types of soil, the
climate, varieties of crops and cultur-
al methods are entirely different in
