At Egypt, the new cotton town, work is progressing rapidly. Several blocks of houses have already been completed with more going up all the time. The new warehouses and other structures being erected by the cotton company are forging ahead at a rapid rate, and this section seems to be at last coming into it's own.

 The Service section of the local Red Cross is making a drive for funds, as there is no money in that end of the service. The first step in that direc- tion is the securing of the Chandler theater and an arrangement with Manager Stralee to share the proceeds tonight A fine film will be presented The entrance charge will be 25 cents but few cents more than the regular price. On Monday night the farmer boys of the cotton company will give a dance for the benefit of the Service section in Monroe hall. Dance Man ager Fay is working up a number oi novel stunts and a good time is ex. pected from this bunch of live wires The Jazz band of Phoenix will furnish the music.

According to ranchers coming in
from the surrounding country, coyotes
are very numerous and il is feared
that stock losses from rabies will be
heavy again this year. There is seri-
ous question as to the wisdom OF doing
away with the bounty on predatory
animals and substituting government,
trappers. It is said that some of these
trappcrs are spending too much of
their time trapping otter and other
animals for their own benefit. On
some Of the ranches men are hired
for the sole purpose of trapping and
scattering poison for coyotes and wild
cats. 1t is understood that an attempt
will be made at the next session OF
The legislature to establish a bounty
on coyotes of at least two dollars per
head.
