The Button On The Wall
It is human to want to know "what a feller
{ things about"—especially about yourself.
The fact that a number of people have
formed a "company," or a "corporation" does
not cfyange the situation.
Boes yo]iir electric light and power compa-
ny mean to you just THE BUTTON ON THE
WALL, giving you light, heat, cold and music
in your home; running ybur factories and mills
and lighting your streets? Or does it,mean to
1 you an organization of interrupted, unfailing
service, every hour of the day or night?
/
Electricity, a great natural force, is not
harnesses without difficulty, nor distributed
without inventive genius, planning and organi-
zation. The discoveries and achievements of
a legion o£ great scientists, inventors and en-
gineers are the basis of the power industry.
But those who are making it possible to
- "carry on" are the men and women who make
up the personnel of this company.

MIDLAND DRINKS
8,646 GLASSES OF BEER
ON THE FIRST DAY
Midland, Sept. 21.—Midland wa^
even thirstier than beer dealers had
dared hope. * -
Friday, first day of • sale of legal-
ized beer, saw 26 kegs and 136 cases
of "suds" consumed at 10 retail es-
tablishments. -
There are 24 10 ounce bottles, to
the case, and a keg measures about
20o glasses, dealers estimate. This
would indicate 8,461 glasses drunk
hero Friday.
This would mean an average of al-
most two glasses to the inhabitant
in Midland—granted everyone' par-
took. Some didn't—but others made
up for their abstinence.

lers. POSTPONED TILL CLC
Q. Are tips considered in fixing
wages in codes or agreements?
A- No, in codes now under consider
ation tips are exprtesly excluded1.
Q. Can barber shops raise prices
for hair cuts and shaves, etc?
A. Pending completion of a perma-
nent barbers' code,' the temporary a-
greement fixes minimum rate of pay
and maximum hours, but does not fix
prices of service.
Q. Please explain status of work-
ers on commission.
Considerable misunderstanding his
arisen over the term "salesmen solely
on commission" both inside and out-
side. A salesman solely on commis-
sion is not defined as an employee,
consequently is not 'under provisions
of PRA as to wages and hour. Whefl,
codes of various industries are final-
ly approved changes may be made Thr
the status of such salesmen.

AUSTIN, Oct. 11.—After ■ t week
of almost continuous labor on the

program of the state, the senate sub
committee of the whole reached an
egreement on the measure which is
expeted to be passed by both Senate

Senators Woodward, Small, Rawlings
Martin and Reddit had before it . the
task of reconciling divergent views
and succeeded admirably. '"

The measure ^ provides for a $7,
500,000 issue, one fifth to be kept in

tirely new control, independent of the
state administration, . and including

■ The measure came into the senate
at the close of the next to last week
of the session but the agreement on

TEXAS
With favorable weather prevailing
generally over practically the entire
state of Texas during August, crop
conditions have shown improvement,
particularly noticeable in cotton, rice,
sweet potatoes and late feed. The
condition of early feed crops is spot-
ted. _ .
Cotton progress is good except in
the extreme eastern areas of the state
where heavy rains occurred. In the
extreme south most of the crop has
been picked. General rains in the
west and northwest late in August
helped a great deal. Other sections
have sufficient moisture to mature
the crop. In the central areas stalks
are growing rank, with few blooms
while much "shedding is in evidence.
Insects 'are numerous, but little dam-
age has been done.
Cotton picking is under way in the
north half of the state and is well ad-
vanced in the south half. Cannings!
are considerable ahead of last year's
figure at this pei*iod of the year.
Movement, of the new crop has start-
ed, but mdny farmers are holding for
better markets.
The government cotton acerage re-
duction program was completed in its
entirety. The bulk of the released
•acerage was planted in late feed crop
which are developing rapidly. The
state yeild is expected to be 3,500,-
000 bal^s, a million bales under last
year's crop.
Harvesting of early rice is under
way in central areas. Some damage
occured because of excessive rains.
This loss will be more than overcame
by benefits of rains to late crops,
deduced acerage will result in a pro-
duction .of slightly more than 7,000-
000 bushels, or a decrease of 20 per
c&nt compared with last year.
Condition of sweet potatoes is
slightly below normal, which with
reduced acerage indicates a crop 25
per cent below last season's produc-
tion.
Winter wheat planting in the
northwest will be in full swing early
in September. Ground preparation
generally is better than usual.. A nor-
mal acerage probably will be planted,
'less the government reduction.
A smaller number of birds togeth-
er with a shortage of summer feed
will result in a decrease of 25 per
cent in the turkey crop as compared
'with last year.
Range conditions improved in Aug-
ust, but additional rains are needed
itbo insure winter grazing.

could be relied upon to say the wrong
thing whereever she was. At a, re-

"Doctor, can you tell me, what that
terrible looking man is over ttiere."
"I can," replied the jmedical man.
"That is my brother."
There was an awkward pause while
the woman racked her brain for some
thing to say. The doctor was enjoy-
