truck growers associations are forming
at many points.
The Cotton Belt is actively assisting
these associations by granting special
rates and otherwise aiding in securing a
ready market for the products. It is a
fact of much Importance that wherever

In order to encourage this and kindred
industries along their lines the South

such points as St. LOUIS, Cairo and Mem

AT THE THEATER

The sale of seats for THE Man
from Mexico" will open this morning.
The play will be seen here Tuesday
matinee and night.
1t is from the pen of H. A. DeSou-
Chef. who also wrote MY Friend
from India" and has been accorded
by critics and the public the distinc-
ton of being the funniest comedy of
its class and one of the very few that
create laughter without any resort TO
questionable methods. The story of
Benjamin Fitzhew's thirty days So
journ ON BlackwelPs Island, in the
garb of a convict, while he leads his
wife to believe that he is taking a
vacation trip to Mexico, develops a
rare fund of laughable situations and
humorous lines, and the fun begins
with the rising of the curtain and
does not end even with the final fall,
for laughter comes involuntarily
when one recalls the escapades of Mr.
Fitzhew. The company is said to be
an excellent one, and all the appoint
ments are in the highest style of stage
art. The matinee prices are adults
soc, children 25c admission. Regular
prices prevail at night.

to the North the South p S its feet

In concluding the speaker praised
what he called the standards of the
Old South; asked the girls and young
women to live as their mothers and
grandmothers had done, and babe the
young men and boys follow in the steps
of their own Southland heroes. 1t
