MIGHTY "MIDNIGHT " KING OF
RODEO OUTLAWS, RETIRED TO
GREEN RANGES OF WYOMING
CHEYENNE, Wyo., —A raging,
plunging black hone sprang oat of
the chute—
Snorting defiance, he reached for
the sky with his front feet—
Heed down, an instant later his hind
teat poised fuly 10 feet above the
ground—
Just five jumps and the rider sky-
rocketed out of the saddle, described
a beautiful parabola and landed in a
cloud of dust.
Midnight, perhaps the greatest
bucking horse the rodeo world has
ever known, was through, finished
forever with hated saddle and rider
and retired to green ranges for his
old age.
Turk Greenough, champ bronco bust-
er of the 193S Frontier Days, who
hails from Red Lodge, Mont., was Mid-
night's last rider and he stayed on
just two and a half seconds.
It was the high point of the show,
the climax of four days' reincarnation
of the old West
Mighty Midnight, the ebony Canadi-
an hone, who changed from a hard
working cow pony because a tumble-
weed once blew under his belly and
sent him off on his fint bucking spree,
ended his decade's reign over the out-
law herd in triumph, unridden in his
last ride.
The horse, 17 yean old and thraat-
ened with ringbone and other infirmi-
ties, is to be retired by his owners,
Verne Elliott and Eddie McCarthy, to
their ranch at Chugwater.
The rodeo came to a smashing climax
this afternoon with championship
events. Groennough won the bucking
contest with a fine ride on Satan.
Pete Knight of Calgary, Canada, was
aeeond, and Pete Grubb, Blackfoot,
Idaho, was third.
Dixie made a clean sweep of the
roping contests. Charles E. Jones
of Fort Worth was declared the champ
of the calf ropers. His average time
was :20.6 for four vealen. Hugh Ben-
nett of Fort Thomas, Am., was sec-
ond, Dick Truitt of Stonewall, Okla.,
third, and Roy Adams of Nogales,
Aris., fourth.
Honori in steer roping went to Jake
McClure of Livingston, N. M.
Jack Mclntire of Klawa, Okla., was
second, Carl Arnold, Buckeye, Axis.,
third, and Everett Shaw of Nowata,
Okla., fourth.
Other events:
Bulldogging contest (average time
on three steers): Jim Irwin, El Paso,
Texas, fint, :16.5; Ribe Roberts, Fort
Worth, second; Dick Truitt, third;
Jimmle Nesbitt, McLaughlin, N. M.,
fourth.
Cowgirls' relay race: Mn. Cy Grey,
fint; Tad Lucas, second; Gene Kreig,
third.

Hold Carnival As
Factories Reopen
Morgan town, W. Va.—The flare of
torches and the roll of drums in Mor-
gantown's "prosperity carnival" :
cently drew a word of praise from
the White House that placee this dis-
trict in the vanguard of industrial co-
operation.
Reminiscent of a nineteenth century
political campaign, hundreds of wet
dente joined a torch light parade cele-
brating the recall of 860 workers in
two days to shops and mines of the
district, notably the American Sheet
and Tin Plate Company's plant at sub-
urban Sabraton, and the plant of the
Mississippi Wire Glass Company,
closed for many months.
At the height of the celebration,
United States Senator M. M. Neely
road a telegram from President
Roosevelt asking him to convey "my
deep appreciation of the fine spirit
of your community is showing."
FARMERS MUST BURY
COTTON COMPLETELY
TO COLLECT LEASE
By VICTOR H. 8CHOFFELHAYER
Farmers must completely bury cot-
ton stalks under the upturned soil if
they want to collect their lease money
from the Federal Government.
Danger of slipshod, half-way meth-
ods being used to plow up or in
other.vise cutting off cotton plants
at the surface of the ground on land
under contract with the Secretary of
Agricultura, and thus endangering
the purpose for which existing relief
measures were adopted, has brought
an ukase from Washington calling for
immediate and complete destruction
of the crop involved.
Danger of Bolls Opening.
It appean that most farmers who
have obtained permits to destroy their
cotton are trying to save as much
money as possible in destroying the
crop and at the same time plant a
feed crop, usually corn, in the exact
rows which the cotton now occupies.
Using sharp sweeps or middlebusten
the cotton stalks are cut off at or
slightly below the surface of the
ground, leaving the stalks, often laden
with nearly mature bolls, lying on the
ground to one side. These bolls
under a hot Texas sun will open and
producé lint which could find its way
to the gin. Also, there is danger that
the stubble will send out new growth
which could ir-iture bolls before frost
under favorable conditions.
Must Bury Stalk and Bolls.
County agents all over Texas are
receiving last minute instruction from
the extension service of Texas A. &
M. College to see that farmers are
advised that all cotton carrying ma-
tura or nearly mature bolls must be
turned under completely bo that the
entin plant and bolls are covered by
the soil. To assure ^a thorough job
the county agents will recommend use
of a stalk cutter, section harrow or
some other similar implement to be
run over the cotton plants, after which
it must be plowed in such a manner
as to cover it completely.
In Central and South Texas, where
cotton frequently remains alive all
winter even after a freeze, the plant
might put on vigorous growth of the
stubble and roots left standing after
a corn planter or sweep has cut off
the top.
Can Make Cotton Silage.
Latest instructions will permit farm-
ers to mow and rake their cotton
stalks for either hay or to fill silos.
The coming of the trench silo as an
emergency means for securing a sup-
ply of feed offers farmers a chance
to make cotton stalks and bolls into
silage, which experts declare should
have a pretty fair feeding value. If
either hay or silage be made from the
harvested cotton stalks the remaining
roots or stubble must be plowed in
the same manner as previously stated
to prevent a sucker crop later in the
year.

Famous Broadway Star
Demonstrates Skill at
Jelly-Maker
By Dorothy Love
HAVE you ever tried adding a
little "boop-boop-a-doop" to the
sugar and fruits or berries when
you are making jelly?
It does something to the mixture
that makes it taste a wee bit bet-
ter even, than the jellies mother
used to make—or maybe I'm wrong
and Miss Helen Kane who needs
no further Introduction on or off
Broadway, is really a champion
jelly-maker.
Miss Kane, who returned to
Broadway this season, was very
gracious about granting an Inter-
view. Instead of pausing in the
parlour for the usual tea and cakes
which help to make Interviews a
success however, the world's most
famous "boop-boop-a-doop" artist
continued on into the kitchen of
her attractive apartment where she
assumed a commanding position
over a gas range on which a kettle
was steaming.
"Why do I go In for jelly-mak-
ing?" asked Miss Kane, giving the
aromatic mixture another vigorous
stir. "Because I like jelly, es-
pecially !a the cold winter months
when we need plenty of sweets to
supply the body with fuel foods,
boop-boop-a-doop.
"There's nothing to beat a slice
of bread and jelly as an energizer
and now when sugar is cheap—
cheaper than it's been In many
moons—and fruits and berries" are
plentiful, everyone should put up
something."
Tho mixturo in the kettle took
another beating.
"Folks don't realise how valu-
able jelly ta as a food", continued
Miss Kane. "Tbe fruits and ber-
ries are full of vitamins and other
things and the sugar Is nature's
greatest energy food. 1 learned
that a long timo ago when I was—
there, It's boiling at last".
Whatever Mlbn Kane was about
to say was lost m the kottle which
was making funny bubbling sounds.
A short time later ten glistening
glasses of red Jelly stood arrayed
on the table and If you don't be-
lieve it is good Jelly ask the Inter-
viewer who left with two of tho
glasses and a recipe which you
may try yourself.

Various commentators, speculating
as to tho beginning of this giant of
an idea, have surmised it must have
been a product of the Roosevelt "brain
trust." The troth is the professon
of tho brain trust appeared in the dis-
cussions only in the later stages as
ad viten on details.
What Happened.
What actually took place was
this:
Soon after the election last No-
vember, Mr. Roosevelt discussed
with various business men what could
be done to put industry on a firmer
basis.
He was aware that in all serious
depressions in the past It was the
financial world itself which took the
lead in applying remedies, while
throughout this depression the gov-
ernment had been compelled to assume
almost complete responsibility.
When this was mentioned, it was
pointed out by the industrialists
that in those former years of trial
they had had a much freer hand
to deal with economic crisis.
Challenge Accepted.

announced applications received by it
for federal loans under the public
works bill aggregated $19,759,067.
There were 127 applications. Among
the larger requests received in the
past few days were for a water sup-
ply system at Ysleta, El Paso County,
to cost $100,000; a fresh water dis-
trict completing a system of canals
and irrigation at Anahuac, Chambers
County, $250,000; dormitories and

N. R. A.
To the Loyal People
of Caldwell
A great deal has been written and said about
supporting: the President in his National Recovery Pro-
gram. Perhaps to some of us this program has been
vague in content and not adaptable to conditions in
Caldwell.
Nothing could be farther from the truth than the
idea that the people of Caldwell were exempt from the
operation of N. R. A.
Neither could anything be farther from the truth
than the idea that we can have or maintain prosperity
by purchasing our merchandise outside of Caldwell.
Certainly the business houses of Caldwell and the
citizenship of our town would be flaunting the very spirit
and purposes of the N. R. A. if they did not give local
industry first consideration in buying merchandise,
where such industries are members of N. R. A.
It is a sad but true fact that there are several good
business institutions in Caldwell today w*ho are trying
to operate under the N. R. A., but who are going to be
forced to close their doors and throw employees out of
work if local merchants and local buyers do not awaken
at once to the necessity of giving Caldwell industries
first consideration.
As President of the Chamber of Commerce, and
as a business man, I ask everyone to buy only mer-
chandise of a local nature where price, quality, and
service are equal to foreign competition, and as Presi-
dent of the Burleson County Chamber of Commerce, I
further warn you of a condition facing your town where
businesses are going to fail unless they get this patron-
age which they deserve.
To the merchants of Caldwell I ask your loyal
assistance by checking over your stock and purchasing
where at all possible from local industries. To the house-
wives I ask vour co-operation by specifying to your
merchants that you want only local processed articles,
where at all possible.
C. A. BAIN, President
Chamber of Commerce
