making stalk, and to the out-
sider the cotton looks fine,when
in reality it has very little on
it.

THE 20TH AMENDMENT
When you speak of amend-
ing the constitution, this sum-
mer and fall, most of your
hearers will take it for granted
that you are talking about the
prohibition law. But it is worth
remembering that another
amendment to the constitution
is now pending, and it is an
amendment that deseTves to
pass in jig time.
This is the 20th amendment
—the “lame duck” amendment,
as it is called — which would
set forward the inauguration
of a newly elected president to
the first week in January and
abolish those congressional ses-
sions in which politicians who
have already been rejected at
the polls meet to make laws for
the nation.
Already more than half a
dozen states have ratified this
amendment and the rest should
do so before another year is
passed. Legislators must be re-
minded that the amendment is
badly needed, even though pub-
lic attention may bb focused on
more spectacular issues. — San
Angelo Times. ,•
