'Alligator Caught III
The City Limits
Old, timers have often passed the
word around tbat all kinds x>f ani-
mals have ''rained down", and one-
tiaif-foot alligator was rained down on
^ee avenue during the reoent heavy
♦■in storm.
George Shumaker found the alliga-
ton and succeeded in capturing it and
4t la now on display at Yoor Drug
'Store on . West Houston street.
Monday night the alligator broke
loose and promptly took charge' of
tiie drug store appropriating a V. 8.
flag and a pair of crutches for Ms
Me, however his motive and how (re
troposed using the crutches was not
lade known. After a long search be'
jwas found quietly sleeping on a lounge

Fair Grounds Friday
Football enthusiasts will be able
to aet a line on the 1926 Clarksville
Hieh School warriors when they
line up against the strong Idabel
eleven at the Fair grounds Friday
in the opening game of the season.
Coach Wright has been putting
his men through some stiff work-
outs in anticipation of this game,
and while he has not yet announced
juBt what men he will use In the
opening battle he feels confident
that his scoring machine will give a
good account of itself.
Several valuable men have been
lost to the team through graduation,
but there are several promising can
dldates who have reported for prac
tlce that hold much ^promise, and
It is hoped that they will fill the gap
made vacant by the loss of several of
last years star*
Coach Wright has been very sue
cessful in developing winning football
teams. He thoroughly understands the
game from all angles and has the
happy faculty of being able to impart
this knowledge of the game to bis
men.
The team this year should average
up very well as far as weight is con-
cerned with the majority of the teams
the Tigers will meet, and the local
eleven has a number of men whose
experience should prov* valuable.
Local fans are looking forward with
much pleasure to this game, and are
hopeful that the Tigers w/fi eoiwe ont
of the f*ay with tfre long end' of the
score.
Standardization of farm products
has long been urged, likewise the ad-
vantage of an entire community or
county specializing in the raising of
but one breed of hogs or chickens.
Out in California they have docidod
that moral suasion is too weak and
too slow a process for the promotion
of such worthy objects. Therefore,
they are resorting to more drastio
measures.
Certain districts have been specified
in which "it Is unlawful for anyone
to have In his possession for the pur-
pose of planting, to plant, pick, har-
vest or gin cotton" of any variety
other than Acala. The purpose sought
is the production of a fibre of uniform
length and quality, so that the crop
will bring a better price. The planting
of other varieties of cotton Is declar-
ed to be damaging to adjoining cotton
growers and prejudicial to public in-
terest.
The progress of tfrfs effort at Tegls-
lating the farmer into prosperity will
be watched with interest.—Ex.
