Stop" Ordinance Not
Effective Until 11th.
Considerable confusion resulted
Tuesday morning when City Marshall
T Jiii 'J-WflU'odn "arrested" some thirty
or forty motorists for failing to com-
ply with the "Slop" ordinunce passed
l>y the City Council July 20th and
which was to have none into effect at
mid-night Monday, August 3.
The law provides for publication of
ordinances in the official newspaper
for ten days and makes the ordinance
effective immediately after the final
publication. The ordinance was pub-
lished first on Friday, July 24, but
through on oversight in making up the
paper, it was omitted in one issue,
with the recult that it will be nec-
essary to postpone the date on which
the ordinance will be effective until
next Tuesday, August 11.
Local officers "arrested" many
drivers for failing to heed the "stop"
signs before they were aware that the
omission of the ordinance had been
made in one Issue of the paper, and
all those who violated the stop order
were notified to appear in City Court
next Monday.
Mayor Cornelius has issued a state-
ment which appears In this Issue of
the Review, in which he states that
mo charges will be made against those
who violated the order, and that the
ordinance will not be effective until
next Tuesday.
He let It be known however, that
the law will be rigidly enforced with-
out fqar or favor after that date.
The fact that the two local papers
printed news Items giving different
TO THE PUBLIC
On account of our official paper
failing to publish In every Issue of
the paper for full ten days, the
"Stop Sign Traffic Ordinance"
will not be effective until Tuesday
morning, August 11, lil^S.
Any one notified to appear next
Monday morning for violation of
same need not appear.
W. P. CORNELIUS, Mayor
B. P. EDWARDS, City Atty.
dates on which the ordinance would be
effective added greatly to the confu-
sion, and no less than twenty people
called our office to be "set right" on
the proposition.
The ordinance should have gone
into effect at mid-night August 3, but
for the commission as stated. As it now
stands, motorists will have until next
Monday night to "get the habit" of
stopping at the Intersections desig-
nated with "stop" signs, and failure to
do so will mean an Interview with the
Mayor In City Court.

FIRST BALE RECEIVED IN C1ARKSVILLE
TUESDAY: PREMIUM OF $125 GIVEN
Clarksvllle received the first bale of
cotton Tuesday morning. This Is the
earliest date on which a bale has been
received in many years, the nearest
approach to the record being the first
bale In 1923 which was raised by E.
Abernathy on the Lee Tayloe farm,
and which was brought in Aug. 6.
The first bale of the present year
was brought In by Charles Phelps and
was grown on the Clarence Hocker
farm, four and one-half miles east of
Clarksvllle. The bale weighed 435
pounds and was of medium grade and
staple. It brought 30 cents and was
purchased by W. S. Richmond.
The first bale last year was grown
on the same land, and was raised by
H. S. Porterfleld. Last year's first
bale brought 35c and weighed 425
pounds.
The recent rain has bad a tendency
of retarding the opening of much of
the cotton, but it is thought that be-
fore the week is out thoce will be many
bale? of the fleecy staple on the
streets of Clarksvllle, and the season
will be well under way.
MANY CONTRIBUTE TO
FIRST BALE BONUS
A total of $125.00 was secured by
A. M. Grant as a bonus for the flrnt
bale of cotton brought to Clarksvlll>',
with mnny people contributing. Th'1

County Agents Warn
Against Leaf Worm
In the last Issue of The Review we
Issued a warning to the cotton grow-
ers of the county to keep a sharp
watch for leaf worms and since that
time have received word from the
county agents that Is is Imperative
that this be done In order to protect
the splendid crop that is in prospect
hero.
So serious has become, the Infesta-
tion in certain areas in this and other
states that great damage will be done
before the insect* can be controlled.
County Agents Arnold and Thompson
state that If poisoning is done when
the worm first makes its appearance
that it will be easy to control and lit-
tle, if any damage will result.
As far as Is known no evidence of
the pest has been discovered in Red
River or adjoining counties, but as
this is the seuson of the year that the
army worm does the greatest damage,
extra precaution is necessary.
Fanners are requested to notify the
county agents at once If evidence of
the -worm is found any place In the
county, and measures will be started
to control them before they spread
to other areas.
C. of C. Directors
Meet Wednesday Noon
Matters of general Interest were dis-
cussed at the meeting of the directors
of theChamber of Commerce Wednes-
day. Among the more important mat-
ters that had their attention was the
grading of the gap in the Manchester
road, and an effort will be made to
secure dynamite from the government
for thl sand other projects.
It was suggested that the merchants
and others interested subscribe to a
fund to be used in grading and drag- f
King the Albion, jroad. ^ Mich of this
work has been done by Alleb Bros.,
who operate a mill in the northern
part of the county and It was thought
that since a good road to that part of
the county will benefit all merchants ,
In Clarksvllle, that at least a part of
the expense be borne by them.
GOOD PROGRESS ON
NEW RAINEY THEATRE
Workmen ar^ making good progress
on the new moving picture theater
being installed by J. R. Rainey in the
building formerly occupied by Quarles
Grocery.
The old fixtures have been torn
down -and removed, and most of the
electrical wiring has been done on the
theatre. Mr. Rainey states that he
will not spare expense in an effort to
make this one of the finest moving
picture theaters In this part of the
state.
Sears-Roebuck Starts
Student's Loan Fund
From Dallas comes the information
of the establishment of the Sears-
Roebuck Agricultural Foundation
Student Loan Fund of $25,000.00. This
fund will be used to enable worthy
farm boys, who otherwise would be
deprived of this privilege through
lack of funds, to attend A. ft M. col-
lege and study the principles of agri-
culture. From Information received
from tlta management of the Ex-Stu-
dent's Association, the operation of
this fund this coming fall would enable
approximately four or five hundred
boys to take up agricultureal work,
who otherwise would be forced to
forego this opportunity.
Mrs. J. E. Dorsey left Tuesday for
Northern and Eastern markets where
she will buy fall and winter merchan-
dise for the J. E. Dorsey Dry Goods
Company.
