TIME El FILING BIIYEBS
WHENCE EXTENDED
The office of the county
agent has received the fol-
lowing telegram:
“Final date November
16th for filing cotton sales
certificates by producers
has been indefinitely ex-
tended by the secretary
as of tins date.”
This means that farmers
who have not submitted evi-
dence of the sale of their cot-
ton still have opportunity to
do so. In commenting on the
extension of time, Mr. Moos-
berg, county agent, states that
it will facilitate matters if the
sales statements are tamed in
as early as convenient. The
fact that the time has been ex-
tended does not mean that
fanners wishing to submit in-
formation of sales of their cot-
ton should neglect to do so.
Mr. Moosberg also states
that it has been called to his
attention that some farmers
have mailed their sales state-
ments to Washington. The
statements should be mailed to
the county agent and not to
the Washington office, for
statements mailed to Washing-
ton will be returned to the
county agent.'
Farmers sending sales state-
ments to the county agent, at
Titnpson, should place the
number of their Bankhead cer-
tificate on the top line in the
upper right hand corner of the
form. This number is on each
book of certificates issued to
each cotton grower. The addi-
tion of this number assists in
filing the statements in their
regular order for mailing to the
Allotment Board at College
Station.

Bridge Player Gets
Hand Rarely Dealt
Austin, Tex., Nov. 27. (UP)
—Miss Haxel Brown of Fort
Worth came to Austin to see a
football game. To pass away
an idle hour after lunch, she
took a hand at bridge—and
got the hand that is dealt once
in 156 million—13 hearts.
Miss Brown bid seven hearts
and won the contract, re-
doubled, for a scare of 2,990.
She was playing with Miss Sue
Beall as partner, against Joe
Sommerlatte of Hallettsville,
Tex., and Bill Beall, Austin.

DEGORD GRID EXPECTED
FOR TCU-SMD TILT
(By J. Willard Ridings)
Fort Worth, Tex., Nov. 27
—The largest crowd that eve
saw a football game in Fort
Worth will be present for the
T. C. U.-S. M. U. contest here
at 2 o’clock Saturday after-
noon.
Monday 23,000 seats had
been sold and the staff of the
athletie department was
working on a huge pile of until
and telegraph orders which
poured in all day.
Temporary bleachers at the
two end zones will make it
possible tc seat some 10,000
spectators in addition to the
18,500 whj. h the regular con-
crete stand.' hold. If the cus-
tomers demand it, a limited
number of standing room
tickets will be sold on the day
of the game. If the weather is
fair, it would not surprise any
one to see the attendance pass
the 30,000 mark.
The game is easily the No. 1
contest of the nation and will
draw sports writers here from
many eastern points. Joe Wil-
liams, sports editor of the New
York World-Telegram, came
in Monday to spend the week
getting acquainted with the
two teams. K3rant!and Rice
sends word that he will either
be here, or send a personal
representative. Both national
broadest- ing systems are com-
pleting arrangements to carry
the game and will send special
announcers here to call the
plays.
Fort Worth, Tex., Nov. 27.
—Only once since 1927 have
(. the Southern Methodist Mus-
r tangs succeeded in defeating
the Texas Christian Horned
Frogs. That victory came last
year and was a smashing one
for the Methodists—19 to 0.
The last seven games have
produced four Txog victories,
two ties, and one Mustang win.
The two schools have met
on the gridiron 17 times, the
series beginning back in 1915
with S. M. U.’s first eleven.
The competition began with
the Christians, with some 18
years of football behind them,
holding a strong upper hand
for the first few years. Then S.
M. U. began to turn out win-
ning teams, and the Ponied
carried along for several years
with a series of victories. The
last several years have favored
the Frogs.
The summary shows 17
games played, 8 victories for
T. C. U„ 6 victories for S. M. U.
and 8 ties. The ail-time score
is: T. <3. U. 215, & M. U. 130.

WILL BE GREAT
CENTENNIAL EXHIBIT
Dallas, Tex., Nov. 26. (UP)
—The greatest electric light-
ing display on the continent
will’ be assembled on the
grounds of the Texas Centen-
nial Exposition, when it opens
June 6, 1936.
The huge battery of lights
will so brilliaiitly illuminate
the grounds that electrical en-
gineers have estimated that
an airplane pilot on a dear
night 200 miles away will be
able to spot the glow.
Night flyers over Shreveport,
La., Oklahoma City or Austin
can use the glare of the expo-
sition lights as a beacon.
The central ‘ unit of the
$400,000 lighting system will
be formed by a bettery of 24
huge searchlights, similar to
those used on United States
battleships. They will he
placed on the top of the Hall of
State, and will produce a light
equaling 1,500,000 candle pow-
er.
Engineers have estimated a
current consumption at close
to 20,000,000 kilowatt hours,
when the system is in full oper-
ation.

“THE LEADING DRUGGIST*
BANK DEPOSITS INSURANCE
(The Goose Creek Sun)
The first Texas bank operating under the federal
deposit insurance plan to fail closed its doors the other
day at Buna in Jasper county.
Deposits of the institution were approximately $37,000
and J. L. Davis, supervising bank examiner located at
Dallas, has announced that every man who had money in
the bank will be paid off in full within a few days. The
bank closed Oct 25.
That the depositors are to get their money so promptly
demonstrates the effectiveness of the plan.
When a bank failed under the old plan it sometimes
took years to close out the affairs of the institution and to
completely liquidate its assets. The depositors usually
were very fortunate If they ever received as much as half
of their money and that usually was paid out at five or ten
per cent at a time.
More than 15,000 banks of the nation and more than
700 in Texas are operating under the federal insurance
plan. Under this plan deposits up to $5000 are fully pro-
tected.
Buna, Texas, Nov. 15.—The first depositor in
the state to be paid off by the federal deposit
insurance corporation is Mrs. Hugh Thompson
of Buna, who was the first cf the 250 depositors
of the Buna State Bank to be paid off by the
corporation this week when the corporation be-
gan settling the business of the bank which
closed its doors October 18.
THIS INSURANCE IS THE ADDED PROTECTION
