Campus Modes
This Year Are
Keyed To War
Long shorts, knickers, quilted
cotton skirts and Churchill pea-
jackets all are on the curriculum
lor campus chic this season.
The Teddy bear coat with match-
ing accessories looms as another
winner for popularity honors and
the trench coat Is Inevitably in
the spptlight.
A survey of style preferences
made by a leading store on Chi-
cago’s fashion-famous State street,
showed collegians representing ev-
ery important feminine campus
in the country eager for “pur-
poseful" clothes geared to long and
arduous service.
Mindful of- the fact that many
of them will spend a goodly por-
tion of their campus leisure In
some form of patriotic activity,
the girls eved with approval styles
that would harmonize with this
new pattern of college life,
’Little boy" long shorts are
high on the list of approved in-
novations. as are shorter fur coats
which taam equally well with
slacks tailored skirts and > ve-
iling clothes The MacArthUf plaid
Is being hailed with enthusiasm
and fringed carryalls, with scarf
and mitts to match are on the
list of wardrobe ’’musts.”
Crepes for “frat” dancing and
’ date’’ wear won a nod of approv-
al and corduroy is on the “passed
with honors" list for knockabout j
wear.
Among accessories making news j
are suspender belts of hand-eru- I
cheted wool, crocheted Dutch cap* !
with matching mittens, felt flow-
ers attached to combs, and fur!
and leader animal heads as label j

To The Cotton Ginners
OF Coleman County
Mi September, 1935 the farmers of foleman County purchased
the gin now known as the Coleman Community Gin Ass’n. It
was purchased without any cash outlay, or in other words,
strictly on credit, for $21,500.00. It has operated seven sea-
sons, and now starting on the eighth, but a* the end of the last
season i* had made enough money to retire all indebtedness.
In addition *o paying the purchase price of the gin they have
built two large cotton warehouses. Not only have these ware-
houses made money for the producer who ginned his cotton at
this gin, but saved him the hauling on more than 10,000 bales of
Government loan cotton from Coleman to some other ware-
house.
During the seven years operation they have ginned 14,965
bales of cotton, and after all cost 0f operation, new machinery
and the warehouses were pai 1 for they have realized a( net
profit of $21,728.40 or $1.45 per bale.
At a meeting of the Directors and Stockholders of the Ass
tion August 8, 1942 it was voted tn adopt what is known]
revolving stock plan for cooperatives. As a result of this
lntion the enGre property of the Association now’ hclonj
the producers who ginned their cotton at ths gin. Stocj
been issued as per bale dividen i, and mailed to all pro<
whose address was known. If you have ginned cotton at
gin and have not received a stozk certificate it is becaust
address is unknown to the Association, but if you w ill cl
the office of the gin your stock will be given to you.
Profits made through future operation will be used towald re-
tiring the stock now issued, but new stock will be issued niture
customers, that is. the profit, made from ginning a bale »|f cot-
ton this season will be used to retire the dividends accriled in
previous years, but new stock will he issued customer ginn-
ing cotton this season.
The machinery of this gin has been completely overhauled and
repaired since last season, and a new cotton dryer and condi-
tioner has been installed. You will now be able to obtain a
ginning service unequaled in the past in Coleman County. Let
us prove it by giving us a trial.
