Radioed Wonders From New Ocean Depths]
For 50,000 consecutive days, ex-
clusive of Sundays, the London
morning Post has never failed to
appear since it was founded i
1772. This is the oldest daily news-
paper in the world that has been
a dally since it was founded. There
are one or two newspapers In
America which are older, but hey
were weeklies for many years be-
fore they became da'lies.
I know of nothing that is harden
to kill than a good newspaper. I
have had occasion to make a (1st
of American newspapers more than
one hundred years old and was
amazed to find that there are near-
ly two hundred of them. That is
probably more survivors than
there are in any other line of
business. Without exact figures ..t
hand, I venture the guess tnat
there are nowhere near two" hun-
dred businesses or industries in the
United States that have survived
a century of uninterrupted activity
Almost a hundred years < go a
Belgian named Adolphe Sax in-
vented a new kind of musical in-
strument and named it for him-
self, the saxophone. It speedily
became a standard instrument for
military bands in France. P. T.
Barnum. the greatest showman the^
world has ever known, heard the
► saxophone played when he was in
Europe in the 1840's and brought a
band of saxophone players over to
give concerts in his museum on
lower Eroadway, long before he
ever started in the circus business
The saxophone is today the most
popular of all musical instruments.
Its rediscovery in America dates

Dr. Wm. Bebee, noted American deep-sea explorer, went to new depths,
2,200 feet, almo^ a half mile down, in a new bathysphere off Bermuda
island, from where he broadcast by radio to millions of Americans about

estimated that water pressure at that depth is about 5,000 tons: Photos

COTTON CROP
CONDITION IS
54 PER CENT
—*—
GOVERNMENT ESTIMATE
PRODUCTION AT 11,-
425,000 BALES.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.—The
condition of the cotton crop on
Oot. 1 was forecast at 54.2 per cent
or normal .indicating a United
States crop of 11,245,000 bales of
500 pounds gross weight, the crop
reporting board announced today.
The indicated yield of lint C'.tton
was forecast at 149.3 pounds per
acre for harvest.
Simultaneously, the census bu-
reau issued' a report showing that
4,835,460 running bales, counting
round as half bales, had been gin-
ned from the 1932 crop prior to
Oct. 1, compared with' 5,409,657
bales for the same period ot last
year.
In connection with its report the
board' issued' the following state-
ment:
"The indicated production repre-
sents an increose of 115,000 bale*,
or 1 per cent, above the Sept. 1
forecast. The indicated crop is 5 -
671,000 bales less than last vear’s
crop .
"Most of the increase from last
month has taken placein Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Ok-
lahoma, where the first three weeks
of September were favorable to
maturing the crop. These inerase?
are parttly offset by slight de Mines
in Texas and Tennessee.
“In most parts of the belt the
crop is mature and a large propoi-
ticn of the bolls are open. Pi'king
is progressing somewhat slower
than might be expected, because
growers are hiring fewer pickers
than usual. Most growers are
picking their crop with labor avai'-
aibie on their own larrns, rather
than hiring additional help. I his
retarding in picking would result
in losses to the open cotton, in the
event of prolonged wet weather
later in the season.
“Weather reports since Oct. 1 in-
dicate that light frosts have oc-
curred in parts of the cotton belt.
The board has not made allowance
for frost damage, since its report
relates to Oct. 1. It should be stated
moreover, that except for the cap-
rock section of Northwest Texas
and limited' areas along the north-
ern edge of the belt, frost at this
date would not necessarily result in
materially lower yields.”
The forecast for Texas shows an
indicated yield of 4,063,000 bale-,
with 1,595,158 bales ginned, 1 lie
condition in Texas is 59 per cent,
with an indicated yield' of 140
pounds per acre.

——®-
Congressman Wright Patman of
Texarkana and District Lion Presi-
dent Dr. W. M. Wright of Paris
were guests of Oooper Lions Club
at luncheon at Hotel Oooper Fi.-
day.
Lion M. E. Garrett, who was to
present the Washington Bi.Cen-
tennial program, put it off for two
weeks and Lion Posey Berry pre-
sided and presented the distin-
guished guests.
Congressman Patman, who is
visiting various sections of the
First Congressional District to
slat in raising funds for Democratic
National campaign, spoke at length
of the economic condition and the
effect on business of the reduoed
ciiculation medium and resultant
high priced dollar. He explaine l
that his bill to provide for paying
the soldiers’ adjusted compensa-
tion with currency backed by the
government was very similar to the
government Issuing currency to
banks on government bonds, ex-
cept the soldiers would put their
money into circulation while the
people are unable to borrow the
money of the bankers. He cited
an article in feft issue of the
Courier giving a plan in Kaufman
County for exchanging goods, for
lack of money with which to dc
business.
President J. E. McBride oad
charge after the program and took
the names of those who would at-

Denounces Republicans; Makes Appeal For

By LEWIS N. CARRELL.
Congressman Wright Patman ><-
dressed a gathering of Democrats
at the court house here last Friday
night on the issues in the National
campaign and his reasons for
waning cash payment of the sol-
diers’ adjusted certificates.
County Democratic Chairman T.
B. Cumming presided over the
meeting and introduced Jimmie
Hedges, who is turn introduced the
speaker for the evening. Mr. Hoci-
ges is commander of Red Hender-
son Post, American Legion. H» was
liberal in his praise for the Con-
gressman, saying in part that he
was known and admired every-
where veterans of the World War
were found.
♦ ♦ ♦
Attack on Mellon.
Mr. Patman, who represents the
First Texas Congressional District,
devoted much of his time to an
attack on the Republican party,
and especially Andrew W. Mellon,
former secretary of the treasury
whom he termed as “Public Enemy
No 1,” saying “A1 Capone is a ‘small
chicken’ compared with him.’’ He
said that the Republican adminis-
tration was forced to remove Me!.
Ion from office and send' him to
England when his (Patman’s) evi-
dence against the former treasurer
was revealed at the impeachment
proceedings.
Mr. Patman said that Mellon did
not serve under three Presidents,
but that “three Presidents of the
United States served under him
• * * The sins of Mellon are the
sins of the Republican party, for
Mellon is the party. * * * I lon't
know how the former treasurer
piled up a fortune of seven billion
dollars, but I hope to find out. ’
Continuing his attack on the
Republican administration, Mr. Pat-
man said that Mellon and J. P.
Morgan had forced the government
of Columbia, South America, to
sign over the richest oil land con-
cession in the world to them in
order to get money from the United
States government, and that if tiie
Republicans were returned to power
that it would probably mean war.
He based this belief on the fac1
that Columbia would' not allow the
Mellon and Morgan interests to
take possession of this oil Lind;
that England and France would
probably interfere, and that the
United States would send' soldiers
to South America to spill blood for
private interests of cabinet mem-
bers.

OF 62ND DIS-
TRICT COURT
JUDGE PHILLIPS ORDERS
JURY FOR DAMAGE
SUIT TODAY.
Investigation of Treasury.
Mr. Patman said that after the
removal of Mellon from the posi-
tion of Secretary of the Treasury,
that he made an effort to get, an
audit of the treasury. He stated
that an audit has never been made
of this department, and that he
believed in fairness to the people
an audit should be made at -east
every four years. Patman chargea
that the Hoover administration had
the audit postponed unil Decembe'-,
after the general election, because
the Republicans dared not face the
revelations of an investigation be-
fore the election for it would spell
sure defeat. Continuing he said:
"We are going to look into this in
December, and may find enough 1
money due the government from
special interests to pay the soldiers
bonus.’’
Asks Dems to Contribute. |
Mr, Patman made a stirring ap-
peal for Democrats to contribute
to the national campaign fund,
urging that every member of the
party contribute a small amount
