Eklinid won the first fall in 47 min-
utes, after some exceptionally Hurd and
fast work. When the hour was up,
both men were at it fast and furious,
and Kopecky had kept his shoulders
from a second encounter with the mat
and was tin* winner, Eklund having
contracted to throw the local boy twice
within the hour.
Dripping with perspiration and short
Of breath, Eklund stepped to the front
of the stage and said:
‘‘I came out here to meet- what was
described as an amateur, and really met
one of the cleverest men on the
wrestling stage. I brought with me' a
challenge from Sauer, of Houston, to
wrestle Kopecky. After lie hears the
outcome of this match i am not sure he
will want to tackle Kopecky.”
Eklund stated privately that Kopecky
is one of the really dangerous men that
he has ever met, clever in attack and
very fast in getting out of difficult po-
sitions. What Eklund said confirmed
the conclusion reached by those who
watched the match, namely that sever-
al times during the encounter, Eklund
came near being thrown by his clever
antagonist.

The Cotton Farmer’s Cow
The Sugar Land Mothers Club and
Parent Teachers association ha« found
it a very difficult matter to successfully
carry out the prograin of school im-
provement it is undertaking due to the
difficulty in getting'before the people
of the town their plans.
At present too few residents of this
school district are regular readers of
(he local paper.
“This is demonstrated,” said Mrs.
Thorstenberg, the chairman, “by the
fact that we have published numerous
announcements in the paper and learn-
ed later that many of our patrons had
never read them.”

cided to gi’ e the room in the public

Tho farmer who <■ grows so much

easy money.
If he would follow the advice of the
American Cotton Association, if he
won! i p ant fewer acres of cotton, use
carefully selected seel and fertilize
highly.
lie would increase his production of
lint cotton p^r acre, thereby maintain-
ing the standard of supplies, but reduc-
ing the net cost per pound;
He would have left acreage on his
farm to keep cows, to rain hogs, to
g:ow fruits an 1 vegetables and grains.
These would feed his family and give
him enough extra cash so that ho conld
store his cotton In the system of ware-

The Cotton Farmers Cow is the title
of on article in a great series about
the work of the American Cotton As-
sociation now appearing in The Country
Gentleman. (Five cents a copy from
any newsstand; $1.00 a year by mail—
fifty-two. issues, if you end to The
Country Gentleman, Philadelphia, Pen-
na.) Many sections of the South are
finding freedom from the allcottoa sys-
tem, with its poverty and privations,.
by keeping cows whose milk is made
into cheese. These fanners bank their
cotton money as pure velvet.
This bank, first, last and all tho time,
is for the Americau Cotton Associa-
tion’s program of better cotton, higher
prices, diversified crops—and more
money for all.
