Cleburne, Dec. 1.—Many crimi-
nals have been caught by ‘finger-
print*" and many detective* have
built reputations upon their expert
ne»* of detecting fingerprint*, but 1
Cleburne officer goes one better and
catches the offender by teeth print*.
On Nov. 24, a suburban grocery
store was robbed of a small amount
of money and some merchandise, but
from bologna sausage, cheeae and
other food the burglar made a meal
before leaving the store.
When Deputy P. D. Laeewe^l in
veatigated the following morning
he pidked up a ahiall piece of fheese
with the imprint* of teeth thereon
ehd after making investigation* he
questioned a youth about the burg
lary. The suspect was asked to take
a bite of cheese, and Upon making
comparisons the officers found the
"teeth mark*" were the same. The
youth signed a Written confession to
the charges of entering the store
and was placed in county jail Tues
day.

not without its Ills. His correspond-
ent* in that part of the state told
Him that "ianfc numbers of weevil
have gone into hibernation,” ready
to harrass growers next year. But
speaking of the cufreirt crop, they
s*y that only scrapping is left. Rains
have damaged and knocked out con-
siderable cotton in the last few
weeks."
These features were noted in Mr.
Schutz’s November 14 cotton re-
port, being recited in connection
with the forecast of a 5,800,000
bale crop in Texas, or 1,735,000*
more than last year’s crop, some-
thing more than half of the increase
of 2,295,000 bales (n United State*
production which this year was plac-
ed at 18,899,000 bale* as compared
with 15,104,000 bales h*st year.
The situation in otheV parts of
the state at the date of the report
was somewhat pessimistic. Pickers
were needed in Northwest Texas,
with hanks and landlords “insisting
that at least all of the better grades
be gathered."
In North Texas', “it looks bad for
the cotton in the fields because the
'weather has been cold and rainy
an4 pickers are hard to hold and
share croppers are leaving."
In West and West Central Texas
"picking will not be over before the
new year in the western counties.
The price is low and picking high
but most of It Will be gathered be-
cause there is nothing else to do."
Two frosts in Central Texas have
“effectually ended any fall crop
prospect*. Many tenants arc leaving
the crop and moving to town."
Several thousand* of bale* have
been destroyed by hall arid rain in
Bast Texas and Southwest Texas
“grade* are low and pickers are hard
to get."

When 60 years old, Wickham had
little to show for his life. Tucker
visited th* Amazon in 1904 and car-
ried away a dream of rubber em-
pire for American industry. He be-
came acquainted with Wickham apd
in 1908 began his campaign to ob-
tain financial recognition for the
Englishman.
As » result, the Rubber Growers
association of London in 1911 gave
Wickham $10,000 and a gold medal.
In 1920, the aged man was knighted
by the British government. The
Dutch rubber growers have since coh-
tribUted $2,500 and the Rubber As-
sociation of America voted a semi-
annual gift of $250. This summer,
in response to tetters to American
planters, Edgar B. Davis of Brock-
ton, Mass., gave $30,000. The Ma-
layan government in October donated
$40,000. Tucker has sent a final ap-
peal suggesting a Dutch government
reward of $25,000.
"The reason I have plugged away
at this project for 18 years is that
bound Up in my hopes for American
participation in the industry has hecn
the haunting remembrance that
Goodyear, one of our pioneers, died
in debt,” said Tucker. “This other
pioneer should have something more
than a post-mortem monument.”

STATEMENT ABOUT
COTTON CROP
Houston, Texas, Dee. 1.—The
Juggernaut of low priced cotton
parently ha* flattened a conside,

gathered before the prices went to
the bottom," H. H. Schutx, govern-

Apparently it was one of the

Boston, Dec. 2.—Pecuniary re-

to the present rubber industry is vir-

fort by a Boston ship broker.
Fifty year* ago Henry Alexander
Wickham, an Englishman, gave the

official gifts for Wickham, an-

"OP SALT CREEK"
HAD ORIGIN IN
CLAY'S CAMPAIGN
Shcperdsville, Ry., Dec. 2.—"Up
Salt River,” has long been a popular
expression with a mooted origin, but-
Dr, G. C. Crist, grandson of General
Henry Crist, Kentucky Congressman,
traces the phrase to a campuign , of
Henry Clay for the Presidency.
The Sunday before the election, the
local legend goes, Clay was far down
the Ohio river and hired a boatman
to row him to Louisville. Clay’s op-
ponents bribed the boatman, and
when the skiff bearing Clay reached
the ipouth of Salt River, the boat-
man quietly slipped into the smaller
stream, his passMjkvtbeing unaware
of the move.
After the vein's toe.®* in, someone
asked as to Clay’s whereabout*. ,
“He’s "gone up Salt River,”- was thia
reply.
The phrase is a popular figure of j
speech to denote dismay or defeat. I
