65 CASES OF “JAKE”
PARALYSIS REPORTED
AUSTIN, Texas, May 1.—Dr. J. C.
Anderson, State health officer, said
Thursday a total of 65 cases of gin-
ger-paralysis have been reported to
the Health Department and that there
are many others which have not gone
through the channels of offiicial re-
ports.
A study of the extract at the State
laboratories has convinced the chem-
ists that ginger was not used, Dr.
Anderson said, but that some herb has
been substituted. It is this herb that
has produced the poison and is caus-
ing paralysis of the lower extremities
of its users. State chemists have hot
been able to determine what herb
is used.

HOW BOARD IS TO AID
FARMER IS EXPLAINED
DALLAS, May 1.—A statement
from headquarters of the Texas Cot-
ton Co-Operative Association here
explains how the federal farm board
will seek to apply its power to the
betterment of the Texas cotton grow-
er. The statement follows:
Ordinary, everyday working of the
farm board program will be an ap-
plication of sound, proven business
principles, in a way that heretofore
has not been applied on a large scale
to agriculture. Production and mar-
keting go hand in hand for all suc-
cessful business enterprises. Steel
mills have cut their production from
97 per cent of capacity in 1925 to
67 per cent last year, thus maintain-
ing a profit basis in spite of slacken-
ed consumption. This principle of big
business will be applied to the cot-
ton industry when cotton growers are
successfully organized.
The United States must sell ap-
j proximately half its cotton crop today
to a world which already owes this
nation money and has no means of
paying the already existing debt. For-
The Lampasas High School debat-
ing team, Porter Briggs and Cylde
Walker, who entered the State De-
bating contest in Austin Thursday
evening, May 1, were defeated in their
first debate. Briggs and Walker lost
to Temple debaters.
Although the Lampasas team lost
in the State meet, they deserve much
praise for winning the district cham-
pionship.
FOR
MOTHER’S
PAY
DOUBLE CEREMONY UNITES
COUPLES HERE FRIDAY
Justice M. W. Howard performed a
double marriage ceremony Friday af-
ternoon at the court house in Lam-
pasas uniting in marriage Ivy Dayle
Auglen and Miss Emma Mae Jackson
and N. A. Reynolds and Miss Ruby
Jackson. The couples were married at
1:30 o’clock. They will reside in Cop-
peras Cove.
FATHER WHO KILLED
HIS DAUGHTER FREED
CHICAGO, 111., May 2.—Mercy and
the law united Thursday to free a
70-year-old father from a charge of
murdering his daughter “to end her
sufferings.”
A grand jury of business men de-
clined to return an indictment against
the aged man, Charles Cutler, both
because of his pathetic story about
the slaying and because the State in-
dicated it would be unable to prove
a corpus delicti.
Cutler, bent and gray, walked into
a police station several weeks ago
and confessed he had asphykiated his
daughter five years ago “to end her
incurable suffering from heart dis-
ease. At the time the daughter was
believed to have committed suicide.
The State said that in order to es-
tablish a corpus delicti, it would be
necessary to have witnesses who had
seen the daughter both alive and dead.
The State s attorney said he had been
unable to find such a witness. The
'undertaker who buried the body could
testify to the death, but he did not
see her alive, and a patrol wagon dri-
ver saw her alive but did not see
her dead.
Chas. Baker was in Belton Wednes-
day to see his mother, Mrs. Annie
Baker, who has been in that city for
the past several weeks with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Harry Alien. Mrs. Baker
has been ill and at this time is not
doing well.
eign nations are growing more and
more cotton each year. What is the
answer for the cotton grower of Texas
and the South?
Can the answer be found through
the unorganized thought and action
of 600,000 cotton farmers? Or is it to
be found through organization, and
taking advantage of the information
and resources which will be made
available to such organizations thru
the unprecedented power of the farm
board ?
Eleven cotton co-operatives, former-
ly acting independently, have formed,
under supervision and with the aid
of the farm board, the $30,000,000
American Cotton Co-Operative Asso-
ciation. The Texas co-operative is now
preparing to establish branch offices
and receiving agencies which will
bring the organization into direct con-
tact with the individual farmer. A
new contract will be used, under which
the member may sell his cotton, if he
chooses, in optional pools, receiving
payment for practically the full sale
price of his cotton as soon as it is
sold, and the sale may be made the
day the cotton is brought in or at any
time thereafter the member may fix.
' The seasonal pools heretofore used
will be continued, but are expected
to be of much greater benefit to the
member, because of the strength of
(the American Cotton Co-Operative As-
' sociation through which the seasonal
as well as the optional pools will be
sold. The A. C .C. A. will have sources
of information on world demand and
supply far exceeding anything hereto-
fore existing, the farm board being
now engaged in extensive develop-
ment of its agencies for obtaining
such information.
Branch offices of the Texas Cot-
ton Co-Operative Association, for
which 40 or 50 towns and cities have
made application, will be in charge
of federally licensed cotton classers,
who will be assisted by proper cler-
ical forces to supply members with
service and information, and who will
also grade and staple cotton for non-
members at a small charge.
This is the setup by which the
farm board offers a means of direct-
ing the sale of American cotton and
furnishing the information through
which the cotton grower of the South
will be enabled to join with his fellow-
producers in adjusting production to
meet the world’s demand from a
standpoint of quantity and quality.

BASTROP, Tex., May 1.—Victor S.

old last March 6, Thursday obtained
a license to marry Jaunita Cordova,

ty Clerk. This will be Castillo’s sec-
ond “adventure” in matrimony, his

SCHOOLS TO GET $2.00
ON STATE FUND
AUSTIN, May 2.—Another pay-
ment of $2 per capita on the $17.50
school apportionment will be made
on May 10, S. M. N. Marrs, state sup-
erintendent of public instruction, an-
nounced today. This payment will ag-
gregate $2,853,718 and guarantees the
payment of the remaining $2 by July
15, Superintendent Marrs said.
Mother’s Day is the one day we
can set aside everything to
bring happiness to that sweet
little lady. A small remem-
brance will bring untold joy to
her heart long afterwards.

Fishing for crappie and bass in
Texas is allowed by state law begin-
ning today, according to Carl Adams,
district game and fish warden for this
district. The bass and crappie caught
must be 11 and 7 inches olng, res-
pectively, Mr. Adams said.
Artificial lures may also be used by
fishermen in the state beginning to-
day. However, it is never legal to
seine for fish unless a special permit
is issued by the game department.
The seines are then of a four inch,
mesh and may be used only in catch-
ing buffalo, carp and suckers. The
law forbids the sale of bass, crappie,
perch or catfish in this section of
the state at any times.—Brownwood
