show that the avoragc cost of pick-
ing cotton for 1920 was $1.11 per 100
pounds of seed cotton. This cost is
lower than tho 1925 figure of $1.27
and $1.25 for 1924. Texas is second
in picking costs with an nverage of
$1.20 per 100 while South Carolina
shows tho lowest cost 82c per 100.

tho New Year we are mindful of the

celebrated these holidays as vigorous-
ly as some do in America their work-
ing time would be much less than
half the year.
Back in the serious old days of our
own country holidays were poorly ob-
served. It was customnry for many
places of 'business oven up to a recent
time to keep open oii nil holidays ntj
least part of tho dny. Some do sol
today partciulnrly in country towns.
But during recent years the tendency
has been strong for the holidays to
be better observed nnd it is recog-
nized that business will da just ns

for these times of recreation. Busi

THE GIFT CUSTOM
New Year is a holiday full of
meaning nnd it appals to a wide va
riety of people here in Bartlctt the
same as elscwhcro. The sporting
crowd parade the streets in the larger
cities nnd throng the theatres and
dining nndl dancing places while mer-
riment reaches it highest pitch nnd
some celebrate moro liberally than
wisely. w
Why does this occasion thus stir
the sportively inclined more than
nny one of the holidays? Perhaps
because each new year is an adven
ture nnd the fnscinatioh attaches to
it that always clings to tho myster-
ious unknown. '
If people have an imaginative or
religious nature the occasion ia
fraught with tho deepest meanings.
They sec tho grandeur of tlv advance
of human life a mighty processfon
marching to unknown ends. The do-
sire comes to them to take a more
worthy part in this sublime move-
ment and tho hope animntes them
that next year they may march on
still more nobly thnn they did the
year before.

In spite of nil complaints about the
abuses of the Christmas gift habit
it is really a most benutiful custom
'and one likoly to be permanent with
out future limit so far" as one can
see now.
During about 300 working days
through tho year we busy ourselves
with porsohal striving for our own
honefit and that of our" fnmilics. It
is a fine thing to have one day set
npart when we think a little of try-
ing to confer happiness instead of
enjoying it all for ourselves.
CHRISTMAS FOR THE NEEDY

BARTLETT TEXAS
A letter has been received from the
Taylor Chamber of Commerce an
nouncing that a free agricultural
short course for Williamson and ad-
joining counties will be given there
January 4 and 5. Tho following sub-
jects will be handled by suitable men
and women: Soil and Fertility Dai-
rymen's Problems Live Stock Poul-
try on tho Farm Co-operative Mar-
keting the Educational Use of Knowl-
edge Communities are Made of Folks

tho Fly and many other subjects in-
cluding 19 reels of moving pictures
illustrating subjects from the hen
cow hog and other worth while things
to Household Conveniences.
One serious lack in tr- popular ob-
servance of Christmns in Bartlett and
everywhere else is that so much in
the way of gifts is lavished on people
who have everything they really need
while there are always needy folks
who can juat barely struggle along
and who often have to go without the
things' they absolutely need but who
have no near friends to look after
them nnd remember them with gifts.
Unworthy people are usually quick
to make their wants known and they
clamorously call attention to them.
But there are many very worthy ones
who have a proud spirit of self help
and they keep silent about their mis
fortunes when they would! be well
justified in calling attention to their
lacks. Kind hearted people should
seek such ones out and contribute to
thsir needs at Christmas. It is far
more important to give to them than
to lavish gifts on the happy and comfortable.
