Bring your cotton to Bartlett
for the highest price.
Many young fellows who went
off to the cities and wouldn't
listen to any arguments about
the benefits of country life
may soon be using arguments
in tne ettort to get tneir oia
jobs back.
Georgetown Texas July 29.
Cotton in this section has deteri-
orated considerably the last few
days. The intensely hot -weather
has burned up the young cotton
especially to such extent that the
general yield will be cut down
from prospects a 'few weeks "ago.
Cotton in this section is late
and the "first bale" has not yet
mad eits appearance.
It seems there is altogether
too much of a rush toward the
colleges that deal out diplomas
in "higher education" and too
little attention is given to tho
urt of brick-lnying plastering
masonry painting plumbing and
many other essential trades that
offer big financial remuneration
in return for a little skilled
vprkmanship. The higher ed
ucation idea is all right but un
til ws more fully realize that we
must earn our bread by the
sweat of our brow to fully en
joy it there is going to be a iot
of educated idleness ana Hunger
to appease. Strange Iioav dilli-
gcntly some people will pursue
"higher education" thinking to
escape a life of manual labor
which offers more real happi-
jness ana contentment ana 11-
nancial returns than any swivel
chair position in existence.
Give us more of those who have
gained degrees from the trade
colleges.
The marking of the Highway
known as 36A from Hearne
through Cameron Rogers to Lit-
tle River station near Temple
was completed Friday. It con-
nects the two King's trails and
opens a new territory for the
traveler. -Marks of the highway
are yellow black and yellow.
DILLARD-TAYLOR
One of the chief assets of a
town is its beauty. Neatly kept
homes and attractive gardens
and- shade trees are far better"
than everything the big city can
do.ih' the way of elaborate build-
ing. But many town spoil
their appearance by failure to
keep back yards in order. These
spaces become a catchall for
the refuse of family life. Ash-
piles decadent chickencoops
tumble down fences 'ftin cans
andjother rubbish broken tools
and "children's toys make a mis-
erable looking mess. It takes
a good while to clean up such an
accumulation jbut it makes a
On Sunday July 29th just
at 12 o'clock occurcd the beau-
tiful and impressive marriage
ceremony of Miss Ruth Dillard
and Mr. Lewis Taylor. Rev. G.
U. Robbins officiating.
Immediately after the cere
mony the bride and groom to
gcther with the immediale mem
bers of the bride's family and
a few invited friends were usher-
ed to the dining room where a
delicious dinner was served.
The bride is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. R. R. Dillard of
the Althea community and is
loved and admired by a host of
friends.
The groom is a prosperous
young business man of Louise
Texas at which place they will
make their home.
BELOW NORMAb
Cotton in two central Texas
Counties Williamson and Lee
and in a good part of Travis
county is below normal ac-
cording to l-cports here and be-
low the state average in all 3
cpunties.
Reports from Giddings in Lee
county show 1hat in that section
is 65 per cent normal as com-
pared to the atatP 75 and only
C8 per cent normal in the rich
Bartlett section of Williamson
County. Around Manor in Trav-
county tho crop is reported as
70 per cent normal which al-
thouch better than the other
two reports is below the state
average by 5 per cent.
Dry weather in most of Cen-
tral Texas has cut the crop low-
er than preliminary estimates
although there is little damage
from boll weevil and other in
sects. So far there has been
practically no demand for ad
ditional labor other than that
supplied by the local markets.
With the continued dry wcath
er it is expected that the cotton
will come in regularly during the
remainder of the season. Prac-
tically every Central Texas sec-
tion has produced its first bale
and in some towns among them
Thorndale Elgin and San Mar-
cos several bales have already
been brought to market.

BARTLETT BOYS IN

THOMPSON
ELECTRIC GINNER.
As the Katy flyer backed in-
to the depot at San Antonio on
the morning of Saturday July
28 several things took place.
Charles Modesette slbwly un-
coiled himself from the parcel
rack stretched himself and put
on his shoes and sox; Sam
Whitlow crawled cautiously
from under a seat yawning and
Kelly Lawrence finished empty-
ing a cup of ice water upon the
once-dornYant S. 0. Wilson as
the train came to a stop there
was a concerted rush to the
nearest door. Upon emerging
from the train the crowd of boys
made an equally furious scram-
ble for the two waiting army
trucks.
The trip out to Ft. Sam Hous-
ton was made without mishap
of delay. Upon arriving at
ihe registration barracks haw-
ever we were all thrown into
consternation at the sight that
our eyes beheld. A waiting line
of over 200 was strung out from
the door of the barracks There
was nothinglo do. however but

did just in time to get in ahead
of abjol 200 more who had iust
arrived on the four othr trucks.
Approximately two hours and
a half later nd of the Bartlett
boys had registered and passon
on to the examination barracks.

HENRY'S HAT NOT IN RING
New York July 31 Henry
Ford in an interview appearing
in Collier's this week declares
he ia not a candidate for the
presidenncny today but that he
can't say what he will do to-
morrow. "Now if I wanted to play pol-
itics would say exactly what 1
am going to do" the manufac-
turer was quoted as saying
"but I am not playing politics.
I am not a candidate for any-
thing. I can't imagine myself
today accepting any nomination.
Of course I can't say and no in-
telligent man can say what I will
do tomorrow. There might be
a war or some crisis of tho sort
constitutionalism and all that
would not figure and the nation
wanted some person who could
do things and do them quick.
What I would do then I cannot
say but there isn't any such
situation now . I have no politi-
cal mind and don't see any sense
in my attempting political leadership."
