CHILD ACCIDENTALLY
KILLED AT BOVlNA

The Bovina Community was shock
ed and saddened last Tuesday after
noon, November 4, when il was learn
ed that Rex, the little five year old
son of Mr. and Mrs. J. c. Bullock,
was dead.
Some of the menfolk were busy
loading an emigrant car for Mr..
Rumfield, and the boys had returned
to Mr. Bullock's residence, on horse
back, to get pet dog to put into the
car. Little Rex and two Of the lar
ger boys were on the horses; and
when the largest boy got off to catch
the dog, the horses suddenly realiz-
ed the situation and started on a
swift journey toward the barn lot
some blocks distant. Both boys were
thrown to the ground. but the larg-
err one sustained only miner bruises,
while Little Rex was thrown with
such force that he was killed instant

WEST TEXAS COTTON NOT
BRINGING TOP PRICE

The West Texas Chamber Of Com
merce in cooperation with the De-
partment Of Agriculture of Texas,
convinced that West Texas farmers
were not getting as much for their
cotton as other sections, began
Joint campaign to rectify this con-
dition October 22nd. At that time
the future price which is considered
the market, at New Orleans for De-
cember, as quoted in the daily press,
was $3.50 cents, and New York, was
I35.15 cents. The top price Of spot
cotton in West Texas was 80 to 81
cents, average about 36 cents. The
quotations Of futures November 9Th,
two weeks later, was, at New Orleans
for December, 3s.10 cents and at
New York 37.75 cents. A gain Of
use cents at New Orleans and EGO
cents at New York; an average ad-
vance for the two markets of 2.7O
cents. During this period the price
of spot cotton in West Texas ad-
vanced TO 40 cents as the top in the
lowest markets and 46 cents as the
highest, so far as we can learn, av
eraging about AZ cents as the top
price over the West against about 36
cents two weeks ago when the work
began.
Thus il will be seen that while the
future market, which cotton men call
the real market, has advanced only
2.70 cents, the spot market in West
Texas has advanced z cents, or again
over futures of 4.30 cents per pound
or S2l.50 per bale. II is asserted by
some that this gain in spot prices in
the West is a natural result of the
demand for actual cotton. II this
was the cause of the advance in West
Texas, then there ought to be cor
responding advance in the Eastern
half of the State, but from the best
we can get prices in
that section have barely kept pace
with futures
There have probably been $4,000
bales picked since Oct. 22nd, 10
which an average of half this gain
should apply, which would amount to
S537,500. We estimate there are
500, 900 bales more TO gather, which
at present advances of S21.50 per
Ddle Will tfnOunl 10 Wv ioDfVVos VI
a grand total Of Sl1,2S7,500. But
this is not all, the fine white cotton
of the West is not nearly as high, as
comarped to other cotton and its
value as il should be. The majority
of the farmers are now getting their
debts paid and are in position to
quit selling, which should have a more
deciding effect upon the general
market as well as the price in West
Texas.
II is gratifying to note the increas-
ed number Of farmers and business
men who now realize that controll-
ing the flow of cotton TO market
controls the price in proportion
These men all favor a strong organ
iation for this uprpose.
Some few merchants may have
feared the slow selling would affect
The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1919-11-20

their collections and sales, but we
doubt II they can see any detrimen-
tay effect, while they must realize
the saving to their business and their
country, will have a decisive effect
for good in the months to come.
In addition to the above saving
there is no doubt but that the slow
marketing campaign has materially
aided in the advance Of the future
markets.

FREE TREATMENT FOR
TUBERCULAR SOLDIERS

Austin, Texas, Nov 13.-The Fed
eral Government is offering free
medical treatment and SO per day
for maintenance for every Texas
soldier boy who contracted tubercu-
losis in the army and is now in need
of hospital treatment. The only
thing necessary to have Texas boys
treated in Texas, in the grand old
Texas climate, is for Texans TO give

by the Benevolent War Risk Society

at Carlsbad. where climatic condi-
tons are ideal for the treatment Of
tubercular patients.

available hospital space in Texas,

Mr. Moore declared the Chemical

Waiting'' Gives Way to
''Watchful Preparedness

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Recent de-
velopments along the southern border
and within Mexico itself, it was learned
officially to-day, have brought radi-
cal change in the attitude of this
government toward Mexico. 1t can be
stated on positive authority that
"watchful waiting" has been discarded
for "watchful preparedness.
The War Department has perfected
plans to throw punitive expedition of
adequate strength across the Rio
Grande the moment official word is re-
ceived Of reprisals on the part of Villa
for the Juarez incident, or in case of
other contingencies tending to bring
the Mexican situation again to a stage
approaching the crisis of last Sunday.

Further movement of the expedition
would depend on subsequent develop
ments.
Military observers here place little
credencc in the reports that Villa has
abandoned his offensive to the north.
Economic as we'll as military necessity,
j. was pointed out, calls for the elimi-
nation of the Carranza garrisons on
the f1anks of the territory Villa now
controls.
There are now said to be seven rebel
factions opposing Carranza, but the
one headed by Villa and Angeles is the
strongest. The Villistas are estimated
to number 10000, equipped with fairly
modern arms, including cannon up to

down to-day when the subcommittee
which had been hearing the case
against the former Alien Property GUS
todian indicated that it thought the
charges insufhciently supported by the
evidence by adjoining sine die. Mem
bers of the committee after to-day's
meeting admitted they thought the
charges agaist Palmer were groundless
and that the sub committee would
likely so inform the full Judiciary
Committee.
Charges against Mr.. Palmer were
that he had disposed of seized alien
property at less than its value and
to the advantage of his friends. This
ne denied attributing algnmet with
German interests to those directing
the fight against him.
Although Mr.. Palmers defence yes-
terday was regarded as able, his dis
cussion Of the sale of the Bosch
magnetic stock was considered to-day
as not entirely satisfactory Mr..
Palmer succeeded in breaking the force
Of the attacks of former Attorney Gem
eral Lewis of New York by bringing
out repeatedly that Mr.: Lewis was
appearing for Harvey d. Andrews, who
in turn represented a man who by his
own confession had deceived the Alien
Property Custodian in representing. the
stock of the Bosch Company to be
American owned when in fact it was
enemy owned.
Outside these instances, the evidence
showed that the Bosch Company sold
for $4,l50,000 on Dec, z, and that after
six months the stock and gold bonds of
the company were worth on the New
York Stock Exchange over $8,OoO,O0O.
The stock itself was worth $6,30O,0OO.
Mr.. Palmer explained this by saying
that the trend of all motor stocks dur
ing the period was upward and quoted
prices on such stocks to prove his
