difference between then.
OF the border Texans who threat
cncd a few weeks ago to embroil
their government Immediately IN the
turbulent affairs of 4 friendly na-
ton, the country has been well in
formed. Now the plcasingly
contrasting story. Houston has
just celebrated the completion Of a
ship channel that makes her a sea
port. Galveston. with her wonder
full seawall built Of Galveston grit
and mortared with Galveston deter
mination, has grappled with the fu-
ry of another gulf storm. and
though badly punished. has more
than held her own III severe contest
with nature.
Geographically Houston is an
inland city. Commercials She is a
seaport. made by her W effort.
The city went into partnership with
the federal government and this
week celebrates the fruition Of the
project. Houston raised a million
and u quarter 10 match the nations

water 10 her threshold: thcn she vo-
ted an additional three million 10

Houston in 1910 was about the size
OF Youngstown. She is entitled 10
celebrate.
In Il sense Galveston'S victory
over the gulf storm this week il like
that of Houston over the fate that
tried To fix her location half a hun
dred miles from the sea. The one
town was not content To remain de

COTTON EXCHANGE
 TO AMEND BYLAWS

New York, March A.-Members of the New York Cotton exchange voted today to amend it's bylaws by incorporating into the New York contract the recent ruling of the department of agriculture that warehouse receipts, accompanied by written notice of grade issued by the sellers. shall be deemed good delivery subject to appeal to the department of agriculture under the provisions of the Lever law.
 An amendment was also adopted pro- viding that cotton rejected by the classi- fication committee or by the appeal com mittee on rejection shall not be reten- dered under penalty of charges involving possible suspension from the rights of exchange membership.
 The proposed amendment, providing thai in the event of cotton being rendered or sellers classification the buyer should i'm mediately pay only 80 per cent of the invoice and deposit 20 per cent in trust pending the outcome of any dispute as to the grade, received a majority of the votes cast, but was lost under the two- thirds rule, the vote standing 73 for tc 43 against.
