Electra, Texas
l^^eCretary of Agriculture Houston,
Replying to requests for his depart-
ment’^ action to reduce the cot-
pontacreage next year, says in effect:
only help, so far as the depart-
ment of,-agriculture sees, is to adopt a
^obstructive plan.
p^This^-plan is to bring home to the
|farmer the” fact that for several years
j&Tbe^.prices of foodstuffs will be high,
, |and' that more of such crops should
: ingrown.

Coach Allerdice arid Patterson have
been devoting all the week to building
formations and getting the Long-
horns to.execute them properly. The
first secret practice of the season was
held this week. The team will be in
good "condition to meet Rice Institute
eleven on Saturday. A hard game is
expected as the Owls defeated the
Methodists from ^Southwestern on
Saturday by a score of 12 to 7.
Only • seven practices femain be-
tween the Longhorns and their game
at Dallas with Oklahoma dn October
24th. Last year the Texans were vic-
torious over the Oklahomans, but
Bennie Owens, the Oklahoma coddh,
has the faculty of building up strong
elevens with new material and in con-
sequence he is feared- by all South-
western teams. The Texas freshmen
will be eligible for this game, but it is
uncertain which ones will get their
big chance in the Oklahoma game.

ROAD BORO ISSUE
QUESTION REOPENED
TWO ELECTRA CITIZENS SEEK
TO MANDAMUS COMMISSION
ERS COURT
Another chapter in the controversy
over the road bond election in the
Electra precinct last July was start-
ed yesterday afternoon when D. T.
Cross and T. M. Hoxie, residents of
t’*is precinct, through their attorney,
W. F. Weeks, filed a petition in the I!
fcl Dallas, Beginning
Saturday, ©cloher 17
to Rot. 1, Ssielosive
a
'district court asking for a mandamus
order to compel County Judge C. B.
Felder and the members of the coun-
ty commissioners court to proceed
with the canvass of the results of said
election and other steps for the issu-
ance and sale of the $125,000 bonds.
In this election it will be remember
ed that the results were announced
as being 198 for the issuance of the
bonds and 66 against. After the vote
was canvassed but before the result
was declared by publication and the
other necessary steps taken for fhe
issuance of the bonds A. J. Shultz
and other taxpayers of the precinct
filed a petition for an injunction to
restrain the commissioners from
further steps alleging that the elec-
tion was void because the notices had
not been properly posted, that per-
sons who were not property taxpay-
ing voters had been permitted to vote
and had voted for the bond issue and
that without such votes the bonds
would not have received the necessary
two-thirds majority. It was also al-
leged that the statutes and the con-
stitution did not provide for precinct
bonds bearing over five per cent,
'whereas the proposed bond issue
would bear five and a half per cent
-interest
; Befor^ the injunction came up for
-a hearing the county commissioners
set aside their order declaring the re-
sult of ‘the election and the matter
