Should Have l5c For Cotton

Texas is n wonderful agricuItu-
raj state.
II produces a third Of the cot
ton crop Of the Unites States.
II is contended that the Texas
cotton yield can be increased 100
per cent.
Just now the lack Of moisture
in the earth is worrying the Tex
as cotton growers
For days and days the sun has
been scorching hot.
The August National Monthly
has an interesting story on Tex
as cotton Weld
In 1912 Texas cultivated TO-
1917, 900 acres in cotton, getting
ll-25 Of a bale per acre, one Of
the best averages in recent years.
and making a total Of 1850. 900
bales.
The total crop Of the United
States in 1912 was 1880, 600
bales
Spinners the world over are
watching Texas this year.
Their agents are here and
there is plenty of guessing on
the total crop of the state for the !
year 1913.
1t is held that Texas could have
cut its cotton acreage in half in
1911 and produced the same
number Of bales under industrial
congress methods.
Last March more than 1000 |
farmers, representing nearly |
every county in the state, had /
registered as contestants in model
farm work.
By the time the list is closed
there will be fully 10000.
On the lst of August il was
predicted these 10, 900 men would
Increase their acre production
fully 100 per cent if last years
records were equaied.
Then came the drouth.
And now even the wisest cot
on expert at guessing is all at
Iea.
Peter Radford is authority for
he statement that every place in
he state with few exceptions is
eporting a low yield and that
otton has been seriously damag-
d by the continuous drouth. He
eelares that there are places
'here the crops are normal.
But they are few.
For this reason he insists that
lrmers should receive Is cents
pr their cotton from the opening
the season. IT, Worth Record.

 Mutt and Jeh in Panama" which comes to the Orpheum on Thanksgiy- ing day, matinee and night, 1t Is be- lieved that the acme of stage per lection has been reached. Here we have an offering which is unique in many ways It is combination of farce, meIodraIna and musical com edy with enough plot and interest to lift fl a notch or two above the ordi- nary play. Mutt and Jeff' are to
 well known to need further intro duction to local patrons of the thea Ire Their exploits and adventures have been the source of considerable amusement for years and their pres ence seemingly has become part and parcel of our very existence. In the now play which was written by Owen Davis, Mutt and Jeff'' have plenty toI do. They are here, there and every where and what they do is the signal for merry laughter. hilarity and mirth. The company this season is a large listing the services of fifty people who understand their business and who are well trained in their par ticllsr field of endeavor. The music and lyrics are by Leo Edwards and VIII 1T. Cobb, who have supplied plenty of song hits. dances and en- semble features. There will be no increase in prices.

IN
 RACING TIME
That Between Fl Paso and Phoenix Beat the Running Between Capital and Los Angeles-Good Showing

Dr N. c. Bledsoe. who returned from Tucson Monday night, brought with him the news that the demands sent from Bisbee that the announced time in the race from Fl Paso to Phoenix should be corrected so that allowance should be made in the checking controls have been granted and that the official time of the race, as it will stand upon the records of the A A. A., is l6 hours 30 minutes instead of 17 hours and 10 minutes, thus beating the time from Los Ange. les to Phoenix by 2 hours and 20 min utes.
 When members of the racing com mites reached Phoenix after the ar. rival of the racers they learned that there had been no deduction made for the time lost at checking stations as had 5een done in the los Angeles to Phoenix race, thus putting the Fl Paso racers at disadvantage of 70 minutes on running time. This arose from the fact that the yarioIs checkers had made no allowance and
 n figuring the time in Phoenix the required deductions were also over looked.
 The matter was taken up with the Fl Paso cmmittee and George Purdy Bullard, representative for Arizona on the A. A. A contest board and the deduction was allowed and the an. nounced time duly changed by 40 minutes, since there were checking stations at Lordsburg, Deming, Doug las, Tombstone. Tucson, Florence. Mesa and Tempe. The running time to Bisbee was TAT instead of SOP. This Dr. Bledsoe learned from Mr. Bullard. It is the first official ad- vice on the subject to be received in Bisbee.
 The first statements published, aft. CT the race, were to the effect that the Los Angeles racers made slightly better time and was explained by the fact that they traversed 15O miles ci road that was practically boulevard but this statement arose from the mistake. The Los Angeles racers travelled 40 miles further but required nearly l-2 hours to do so whi.e the difference in distance. according to the rate of speed. averaged only al lowed a difference of l hour 20 min utes. It therefore appears that the actual time for comparative distance, despite the fact of the 15O miles of boulevard travelled in the Los Ange- les race, where about 50 miles per hour was averaged, was just an hour in favor of the Fl Paso winner
 It was not matter of speed merely that caused the taking up Of he matter for correction by the local Auto club but the added advertising hat will result from the true state nent of the case.

LONG CHASE
 LANDS CONVICT
Holt, Trustie, Landed Near the Nogales Border-Two More Convicts Make Es- cape From Fairbanks

Capture was made yesterday near Ncgales of II. II. Holt, a trusty who escaped from the convict camp .n Tombstone canyon about two weeks ago. On the same day another long term prisoners escaped from the road force. This man was retaken at : Cananea two days later. the State authorities there facilitating his re- turn with the officers to this side of the line
 Holt u taking his departure a'so apparently broke for Mexico. but ex. ercised more shrewdness than his fel- low, for he doubled back into the Huachucas after abandoning horse he had sto:en from near the convict camp. In the Huachucas he stole another horse and lodging patrols along the line, made his way toward Nogales, where, it Is the supposition he intended crossing over.
 Officers of the penitentiary service started out after Holt as soon as his disappearance was noted They fol- lowed him persistenty, though ire Quently thrown of the trail by the clever fugitive. until the capture was managed yesterday.
 With the two men back in custody who escaped from the Tombstone canyon camp. the prison officials are now bending their efforts to capture two convicts who escaped this week from the Fairbanks camp. These men are thought to have headed for Mexico and the officers are looking in that direction.
 Holt was enc of several trusties who were assigned to errands in Bis bee, driving or riding in from the camp daily and obtaining mail, food supplies and other requirements of the camp On one cf these trips, made alone, Holt embraced the op- portunity to decamp. Others of the trusties employed on work similar toI that which he had, continue to come in town daily and are to be seen about the post office, stores and cigar stands during the time they are in town. Apparently, they take life easy.

ance and presence of mind by
swinging him head downward
