River, when Rep. Hatton Sumners
makes that river navigable.’*

president of the East Texas Chamber
of Commerce, spoke of East Texas as

sleep and legarthy and as being now
most progressive. He called East Tex-

stills.”

JUDGE MURRAY
ASKS CITIZENS
TO COMPROMISE
WOULD BUILD ROAD CROSS-
ING BETWEEN HARPER
AND SLUDER BRIDGES.
-<»-
A prominent citizen from Birthright.
Hopkins County, was in Cooper last
Saturday and expressed his impatience
that no agreement had been reached
by Hopkins County communities as to
the route for Highway 37-a from Sul-
phur Springs to Cooper.
He said the Highway Commission
would meet the following Monday and
that had an agreement between the
communities been reached the high-
way body would have been ready to
take action. County Judge Murray, he
said, called interested parties together
after the last conference at the high-
way meeting and told them that the
road must run to Cooper and he sug-
gested1 that they compromise on a
crossing half way between Sluders and
Harpers crossing, but parties favoring
the Sluders crossing would no't agree
to it, and they were advised by Judge
Ramey to sit steady and they would
win.
There has been some agitation to
vote the county-wide bond issue off.
he said, but it was not meeting with
much favor.

ENCOURAGING
REPORTS FROM
COOPERATIVES
TEXAS ASSOCIATION HAS
REC EIVED OVER 100,000
BALES THIS YEAR.
That the cotton cooperative mar-
keting movement is sweeping the
State of Texas is indicated in deliv-
reies already this year of more than
400.000 bales of cotton, according to
C. B. Anderson, local representative
cf the Texas Cotton Cooperative As-
sociation.
Mr. Anderson stated that he had
just received word from the State of-
fices at Dallas that the 400.000 bale
mark was passed with Monday’s re-
ceipts. and at the rate deliveries con-
tinue to be made from all sections of
the State, the half-million bale mark
will be reached by November 1st. Mr.
Anderson also stated that similar re-
ports of substantial progress were be-
ing received from other cotton co-op-
erative marketing associations through
out the cotton belt.
“The bulk of deliveries are new be-
ing made to the seasonal pool,” Mr.
Anderson said, “through which pooling
plan the member receives a final re-
turn on the actual grade and staple
of cotton delivered toy him based on
the season’s average sale prices for
each particular .quality. In this man-
ner, he does not receive either the
season’s high price or the season's low
price, but rather the average price
throughout the year.”
The association’s 90 per cent initial
advance on the marker value of class-
ed cotton continues, it was said. De-
liveries to the channels of cooperative
marketing this season are already
150.000 bales greater than at any time
during the past ten years.
Mr. Anderson now has 137 members
County Agent Green
Can Live at Home
From Fall Garden
It will
whether a fellow has a good cotton
crop or gets much for it. so far as
living is concerned, if he had
a garden as good as County Agent
J. F. Green.
Mr. Green planted his garden just
like a spring garden this fall after
the first good rain, and it Is looking
just as if it were spring. Peas and
beans are blooming, beets, lettuce,
spinach, Bermuda onions, carrots, to-
matoes and nadishes are all fine. Fro6t
may get the beans, Mr. Green says,
but the peas will stand the frost as
will most of the other vegetables. They
are nOw using peppers and greens out
of the garden and hope to have plenty
of vegetattoles for the fall.
Mr. Green says by covering the
Bermuda onions with loose dirt they
will grow all winter.

DEATH STILLS SOBS
OF BABY TRAPPED
IN WINDMILL WELL
LEVELLAND. Texas, Oct. 16 —A 22
months old baby girl, daughter of a
cotton picker on a farm near here,
perished in a windmill well, where she
had fallen Thursday.
Volunteers from Levelland worked
all night in an effort to extricate the
child, whose little body slowly des-
cend°d down the narrow and deep hole
as the workers above tried every con-
ceivable means of rescue. Gradually
the baby's cry 'became fainter and
presently there was silence after death
had stilled tlve childish voice, but not
until one of her arms had been broken
by a rope that had been looped around
her wrists in an effort to dislodge her.
The child was toddling around out-
side her father’s hut when she at-
tempted .to walk a plank placed over
the newly drilled hole for the wind-
mill well. The plank gave way and
the baby slipped into the hole. At
first she was barely out of reach of
her mother’s arms as she lowered them
to bring her child back. Their fin-
gers touched—presently the lbtrtle form
had slipped farther down, beyond the
reach cf any arms.
