Cotton Receipts
Show a Decrease
Unstable Market Lait
Few Day* Causes *
Farmers to Hold
Cotton receipts for the first three
days this week were comparatively
l light, due largely to the unstable
'market. The local storage yards re-
port a total of 15,386 bales up to
closing time Wednesday night. The
receipts for the first three days of
this week totaled 1,014 as Against
1,440 bales for the corresponding
days of last week.
The receipts for the season how-
ever, are almost double the total re-
ceipts to October 7, last year, at
which time 8,780 bales had been
weighed in.
Estimate 82,000 Ginned
Basing their estimates on the gin-
ners report to October 1, and the
amount of cotton ginned since that
report, local cotton men figure that
a total of 32,000 bales have been
ginned to date, and estimate that
there is at least thirty five per cent
Paris Leaguers
to Return Sunday
Manager Says Will Bring
Stronger Team With
Star Pitcher.
Paris, stung by defeat at the hands
of the Boosters, with "Lefty" Grif-
fin on the mound, will be back in
Clarksville Sunday with a team said
to be made up of more of the "Big
Leaguers" than played with the
Bear Cats last Sunday, and they will
make a strong bid to cop the game.
Gallegos, Sowers, Trammel, Rus-
sell and Hollis, the five East Texas
Leaguers who were in the lineup in
the last game, will be back but Man-

Quick Work Saves
Igo Barn, Madras
Several Thousand Dol-
lars in Feed Stuffs
Saved From Fire
Fire prevention week was a busy
one tor the local fire department,
three calls coming in Tuesday, only
only one of which resulted in any
great loss, that of the loss of a barn
at the Walter Rice place north of
Clarksville.
A large barn at the A. C. Igo
farm near Madras caught fire in some
unknown manner Tuesday morning
and prompt action on the part of the
local department, assisted by Mr. Igo
and his neighbors, saved the build-
ing and contents from destruction.
The fire started In the corn crib
in tire center of the barn and had
it not been for quick work on the
part of the local department, would
soou have been beyond control.
Mr. Igo had a large quantity of
cotton seed, hay, and corn stored in
the barn, and had several hundred
dollars worth of harness and other
equipment in the building.
Neighbors assisted in getting a
large quantity of the corn out of the
barn and the firemen soon had the
blaze under control by the use of
the chemical.
This is the first time the Clarks-
ville department has responded to
an alarm outside the city limits since
the 4 new Seagraves Suburbanite
chemical truck and pumper has been
installed here, and the machine dem-
nstrated its worth in this instance.
The local department made the run
to Madras in record time.
Mr. Igo's loss will not be heavy.
Walter Rice Loses Barn
A barn in which was stored a large
quantity of hay and cotton seed was
destroyed by fire at the Walter Rice
place five miles north of town Tues-
day afternoon.
The 'local department responded
to the atlrm. but t^e flames were,
beyond control when they arrived at
the scene and they could do nothing
It was the second alarm they ans-
wered that day outside the the city
limits. >
of the crop still in the fields.
Some sections of the county re-
port that they are unable to secure
pickers, due possibly to the fact that
quite a few of the colored pickers are
leaving for West Texas. This trouble
develops almost every year and an
effort is being made to Btop local
labor from leaving.
CHE\ ROLET DEALERS TO
GIVE SOUVENIRS SAT\JRDAY
The Red River Motor Sales Com-
pany, local Chevrolet and Studebaker
dealers, have arranged a treat for
the Youngsters of the county for
Saturday, and will distribute 2,600
balloons free to the kiddies.
The souvenirs are being given
out to advertise a special "picture
trip through the great Chevrolet au-
tomobile plant." A very interesting
display has been arranged showing
every detail in the manufacture of
these cars, and consists of 40 large
photographs of the most interesting
processes of modern automobile
manufacture.
The balloons will be distributed
to children accompanied by parents.
They will keep "open house" all day
Saturday.
Tigers Are Ready
for Ladonia Came
Orange and Black Squad
Confident of Victory
But Expect Battle
Coach Wright's men will meet a
worthy foe in the Ladonia High grld-
dera at Fair Park Friday. Advance
information is to the effect that the
Ladonia team Is fast and well trained
and that It will take everything the
Tigers have to come out of the battle
on the long end of the score.
Fortunately, the Tigers came out
of the Annona game last week in fine
shape, not a single player receiving
Injuries that would keep him out of
the coming game. The team this
year ^s not as heavy as in some years,
but they appear to be in good shape
physically and the intensive train-
ing they have been put through has
made them hard as nails.
The Annona game showed that the
Tigers have a smooth working ma-
chine and play well both on of-
fensive and defensive. They have
speed to burn in the backfield, and
Coach Wright has developed t num-
ber if plays that will give them a
chance to use thib speed to good ad-
vantage.
| Hard Schedule Ahead.
Tqe Tigers have a mighty stiff
season ahead of them, meeting some
of thtit best teams in this section of
the state, including Cooper, Sulphur
Springs, Honey Grove and Paris.
Honey Grove has as its coach, Blue
Smith, famous Texas tackle, and the
'dope.' from that camp indicates that
they Will have a strong team. The
TlgerS play Honey Grove Nov. 20.
fh< big game of the season Is the
annual battle with Paris which will
be played at Paris this year. Thanks-
giving Day.
The schedule for the year is as fol-
lows:
October 9, Ladonia at Clarksville.
October 16, Cooper at pboper.
*0raober 23, Gflioer UtCiaijtsville
October 30, Mt. Pleasant at Clarks-
ville.

new being made to bring strong high
school team here for Armistice Day.

Duck Season to
Open Next Week
Geese Going South, Cold
Weather Soon, Say
Weather Clerks
The advance guard of the fall
flight of geese from the cold reaches
of Canada passed over Clarksville
Wednesday morning about 7 o'clock,
and the honk-honk of these warjr
old birds was clearly audible.
Old timers say the flight ot the
geese at this time means „ colder
weather Js.l$.sight and lo^attnjtodf M
are looking ovet their fieM**t}aip
ment, oiling guns, patching boots and <
in general getting ready for the
shooting season.
The fall season opens In Texas
next Friday, October 16, and reports
from the lakes are to the effect that
quite a number of the smaller varie-
ties of ducks have been stopping over
for a brief visit.
Reports from the Red River bot-
tom lands and in the southern part
of the county as well, indicates that
conditions are not the most favor-
able for duck shooting this year, due
to the extremely dry weather. When
the river was on the big rise several
weekB ago a few of the water holes
were filled, but generally speaking
the low lands are very dry.
The shooting in this county is
governed largely by the amount of
water and the acorn crop, as It th
ducks find both here, they generally
stay pretty much through the winter,
otherwise they fly on to greenar
pastures.
