Cotton Pickers say this year’s crop
i3 hard to pick, due to the hot weath-i

open. The best record we have heard

Gets Seed in Eye"
Jos. Malinak of the Ammannsville
section got a seed off of some weeds
into his eye, for several days his eye
bothered him but he did not know

relief after several days of suffering.

Stolen Money Recovered
Yoakum, Texas.—Constable W. F.
Templeton and Deputy Constable C.
Pyle have recovered all but $6.50 of
$403 stolen Thursday here from Frank
Klecka in broad daylight on Lott
street. Bruder Marburger, a youth
whose age is said to be 14, is under
arrest and admits taking the money.
The boy was first suspected of the
theft when he was seen with a big
roll of money. The authorities named
trailed him and found that he had hid
the money in four different places.
The silver seemed to have a fascina-
tion for him so he carried it on his
person and left the currency hid back
of a local motion picture theatre.

Queer Lightning Pranks
T. G, Peterson of the Brown school
section, was a visitor in our office
Tuesday and reported some queer
lightning pranks occurred on his place
early Monday night. Willie Peter-
son, his son, while talking over the
phone, was badly frightened but not
hart when a le.'t of lightning struck
the telephone wire near the house,
tearing it into four pieces for a dis-
tance of about 250 yards. The fuses
were melted out, the bolt going down
a screen wire in which it perforated
a dozen holes, finally running down
a hydrant off which some of the brass
was melted. Mr. Peterson says other
bolts struck near the house that night,
but luckily no other damage was done.

Mrs. V. S. Rabb, Sr., Succumbs To
Long Illness
Smithville was startled Wednesday
morning, August 29th, when news of
the death of Mrs. V. S. Rabb, sr., an
aged resident of this community, was
passed from friend to friend. Mrs.
Rabb has practically been an invalid
for a number of years and while her
condition was regarded hopeless be-
cause of her advanced years, her death
yesterday at 4:15 a. m., came as a
distinct shock. The funeral will be
held from the family home this after-
noon at 4:30 p. m., and interment will
be made in Oak Hill cemetery. De-
ceased is survived by four daughters,
Mesdames T. A. Andrews and S. R.
Reese of West Point, Mrs. T. L. Dris-
dalc of Juno and Mrs. B. G. Whitlow
of this city, and a son, V. S. Rabb,
jr., also of this city.—Smithville

Highway Wrecks
Last Thursday night a party of
men in a Ford coming from LaGrange
were wrecked about half way between
here and LaGrange. Two of the oc-
cupants received numerous cuts and
lost considerable blood, they were
blinded by the lights of another car
and ran off of the road. Sunday
night about a half a dozen car
wrecks were reported with several
cars badly damaged but no one seri-
ously injured. People driving cars
should drive at moderate rate of speed,
and use care in passing cars. The
glaring headlights should be done
away with. Motorists who have dim-
mers on their enrs should at least
twitch their dimmers on when meet-
1 mg cars. We have tried this and
some cars we meet put their dimmers
on when they see us change while
-.ome don’t. This will avoid a number
•>f accidents. One should always con-
sider his fellowman, after the cars
crash and little children or women
are hurt it is too late, use a little
j judgment nnd prevent accidents.—

DIED AT SEALY
(By W. R. Frenzel)
Co-operutive marketing has been
for some time recognized by leading
people and institutions as the proper
method of maiketing farm products.
Co-operative marketing was highly
endorsed by our late President Hard-
ing, and it has won converts from
time to time. It is today recognized
as the only proper method of farm
marketing.
It gives us great pleasure to pub-
lish herewith a letter from the John
Deere Plow Co., to Meyer Bros., of
LaGrange. This letter was handed
our chairman by Mr. Meyer, who is
also a firm believer in co-operative
marketing and it is with the consent
of Mr. Meyer and also of the John
Deere Company that we are publish-
ing this letter showing that these
people, recognized by farmers every
where not only believe in co-operative
marketing, but feel confident that
the Tex: s Farm Bureau Cotton As-
sociation is the proper medium for
its practice. The letter follows:
Dallas, Texas, July 26, 1923.
Meyer Brothers,
LaGrange, Texas.
Gentlemen;—
Being primarily interested in agri-
cultural matters, we have carefully
investigated all developments made
in the co-operative cotton marketing
plan of the Texas Farm Bureau Cot-
ton Association since the time of its
inception.
This association is a co-operative
marketing body and not a co-opera-
tive purchasing body. Neither is it
connected in any way with political
movements, radical or otherwise. It
is a strictly business proposition and
one which deserves the support of
every business man of Texas.
It can be proved beyond a doubt
that if the entire Texas cotton civ?
had been handled co-operatively last
GALLEY TEN
year, there would have been $90,000,-
000.00 more spending money distri-,
buted to the Texas farmers. Among
the first to benefit by the farmers’
prosperity are our own dealers. You
can very easily see that this matter
of marketing cotton co-operatively is.
your own personal concern as well
as the farmers.
Coming into direct contact with the
farmers as you do every day, your
word of endorsement for the Texas
Farm* Bureau Cotton Association will
bear a note of worth that cannot help
but impress him with your sincerity.
Will you not, therefore, kindly use
every means in your power to fur-
ther the campaign the Association is
now conducting to secure new mem-
bers. Sincerely yours,
(Signed) JOHN DEERE FLOW CO.,
By W. T. Davis, Manager.

The LaGrange public schools, both

Parents who wish to do so may
buy all the text books used by their
children. The books will be sold at
the school building after September
10th. The law requires that all text
books be neatly covered. These cov-
ers cost only a few cents and can be
bought from the drug stores of the

furnish free covers.

tion the following rates will prevail:
Primary department, per month,
$2.00; intermediate department, per
month, $3.00; high schocl depart-
ment, per month, $4.00; overs or non-

School District will be gliven free
tuition for four months only, after
which time they will be required to
pay on the basis mentioned above
according to the department in which
they are enrolled.
All children living in the present
LaGrange Independent School Dis-1
trict who were over seven and under
twenty years of age on September 1,
1923, are entitled to free tuition for

standard school, will be given an op-
portunity to take an examination on
Monday afternoon, September 10th.
Those making a satisfactory grade
will be permitted to take up advanced
work.
Children who expect to attend the
LaGrange schools from other schools
of the state should bring with them
a complete record of their work, in-
cluding promotion cards. All work

COMPLIMENTARY DANCE
Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Hamlett an-
nounce the arrival of an eight-pound
baby boy, born Sunday night, Septem-
ber 2nd. Ten |vears ago on the same
date their daughter, Nellie, was born.
Judge and Mrs. George Willrich
entertained with a dance at the Bluff
Tuesday evening, complimentary to
Wilburn V. Lunn and bride, nee
Miss Mary Blanche Douglas of Dixie,
La.
Judge Willrich introduced the
young couple, stating that the groom
was the son of the late Dr. Vastine
C. Lunn, and that the bride was the
daughter of Hon. James Stuart Doug-
las, a wealthy planter of Louisiana,
and a representative in the state legis-j
lature; that the Douglas family was
one of ancient lineage, especial!// the
Stuart-Douglas branch.
A large crowd assembled to grace
the occasion, many coming from a
distance. Around the large pavillion
sat many looking on, who had joined
the dancers to greet Mr. and Mrs.
Lunn and to talk of happenings of
years ago when Dr. Lunn was their
loved family physician and dear
friend.
The music was furnished by the
“Soul Aggravators,” a LaGrange ac-
quisition, whose lively strains added
to the general spirit of festivity.
Mr. and Mrs. Lunn were married
the 28th ult., at Killarney, the plan-
tation home of the bride’s parents,
and it was the good fortune of Judge
, and Mrs. Willrich to arrive from their
trip abroad to be present for the oc-
casion and later to have the young
people as their guests in their home.
Mr. Lunn’s mother, now Mrs. John
A. Sewall, jr., of Shreveport, is an
occasional visitor to our city in which
she retains a deep interest, having
been instrumental in organizing the
Etaerio Club and Mother’s Club, and
in promoting civic improvement that
is today bearing fruit.
BOBBED HAIR OUT OF STYLE
Now that all—or nearly all—the
girls have their hair bobbed, along
come the fashion czars to inform them
cold bloodedly that bobbed hair is
down and out, scarcely giving them a
month’s notice. They merely say fall
coiffures will not permit of bobbed
hair. But yet they are going to help
the girls. Tons and tons of “buns”
and thousands of wigs -*re being im-
ported to sell to them, until in the
course of years, maybe, bobbed hair
again comes in or their hair has
grown 1< ng enough to be in style. So
ib is that th§ fashion profiteers treat
us after we have obeyed their dic-
tates to the letter and improved or
marred our personal appearance ac-
cordingly. There are those who say
bobbed hair was cool, clean and cun-
ning. Now it is to be buns and wigs,
something far more precarious, arti-
ficial and expensive. But the women
—God bless ’em—are becoming less
obedient to decrees of fashion that do
not suit their convenience. The short
skirt was banished some time ago,
but the street sweeping skirt did not

come back—and won’t. We hope the
fashion kings will keep it up and
bring about their own downfall. They
arc responsible for at least half of
the high-cost-of-living complaint and
much unhappiness.—Exchange.
Mrs. W. L. Morgan entertained the
Five Hundred Club at the home of
her mother, Mrs. H. W. Meyer, last
Saturday afternoon. Miss Anna
Klatt won the club prize and Mrs.
Edwin Reiss the guest prize. They
presented them to Miss Severson.
A delicious salad course was served
to the following guests: Mesdames

ton of San Marcos; Edwin Reiss,

valued patronage for both of my suc-
cessors.
