BAILEY WOULD RUN
STATE UNIVERSITY

Austin. Aug. 16.-While Josept
Weldon Bailey claims to be a friend
to the University of Texas and de-
clares in general terms that he has
ITS interests at heart, he reserves the
right TO be the sole interpreter OF
what are its best interests and the
one arbiter as to what ii shall. teach
and whom it shall employ In other
words, it seems that, like Ferguson,
he would attempt TO take control of
the University from the Board of
regents and dismiss men who are OBJ
jectionable to him. In mis- speecn
at Brownwood, the former home OF
VIII II. Mayes. chairman Of the De-
partment OF Journalism OF the uni
versity, while he was talking OF cut
ting out departments and cutting
down expenses of the state govern
ment. some one asked, What are
YOU going to do with Will H. Mayes?'
Bailey's reply was. 81 am going to
send home some of your citizens who
have been absent in recent years"
The reason prompting this ques-
tion and answer is that Mayes. who
was editor OF the Brownwood Bullet
in Ga paper that is opposing Bailey
until he became chairman of the de-
partment OF journalisnf at the uni
versity, has not been Bailey wor-
shipper, having favored Horace Chill
ton for THE senate when he ran
against Bailey and having criticized
Bailey severely in the Brownwood
Bullet n. which he was editing when
Bailey accepted the Waters-Pierce
fee. No other inference can be
drawn from this than that. II Bailey
is elected governor. a professors
position in the university will de-
pend on whether he has been Ball
ey admirer and supporter.

SCurry County's Cotton
Crop Promises Big Yield

It at two cents lower on Wednesday
OF this week. There was a sharp
decline reported from Houston Mon
day. II looks now like the cotton
prices may not hold up TO last years
figures unless the producers stand
out firmly against rushing the mar
ket. Farmers are advised to sell
slowly-sell just what is necessary
to tide them over and hold the bulk
of the crop. Much of the cotton
region has weevil and worms and IT
is not now believed that an extra
big crop will be gathered.
Spinners in this country and in
Europe will have to have cotton, and
the farmers ought to stand firm for
good price.

No new reports have come from
Camp Springs or from westbrook.
One has already asked why the
signal doesn't talk about oil. The
only reason to be stated is that as
yet we have no oil here TO talk
about. We believe our oil wells will
come IN some time and then there
will be oil talk galore. People who
have leases should not hurry to for
felt them, for after the big West

Sugar market experts in the city

Scurry County's Cotton Crop.
II Is estimated that 10000 acres
OF cotton were planted in Scurry
county. Some OF 1t was hailed out,
probably five or ten thousand acres.
That would leave 10000 or $1,000
acres to the good and the prospects
are fine for a big yield.
There is land in the county that
will make a bale to the acre and a
conservative estimate. barring worms
or other calamity, is an average Of
half bale to the acre, thus indi-
eating a crop of $4,000 bales or
more for Scurry county.

cents and market men here said

Special attention is called to our
services for next Sunday. The Sun
day school will meet promptly at
$3.50. and the preaching service at
1880 a. m. There will be no even
ing service. as the service will be
omitted for the revival meeting now
in progress, and the pastor will have
to be away in meeting at Dunn at
this hour. For the last two Sun
days We have been rained out and
are. therefore, getting somewhat
behind with our efforts. Let us
hope that next Sunday will be beau
tlful and that the services will be
uplifting and God-honoring.
The attention of all our officers is
called to the fact that our associa-
tional letter must be made out with
in the next few days and we ought
10 begin now to get all the informa-
tion together that will have to be
placed on that letter. The associa-
tion will meet at Dunn on September
O. We are anxious for this to be a
great meeting, and for as many as
possible. to be present to help to
make it such. For the last three
years conditions have been such that
It was practically impossible for us
to have a great meeting at the time

NUMBER ELEVEN
Miss Irene Clark Gives Recital.

On last Tuesday afternoon the mu-
sic-loving public of Snyder enjoyed
splendid musical program rendered
by Miss Irene Clark OF Corsicana,
assisted by Miss Violet Grayum,
so.oist.
Miss Clark, in very charming
manner, explained her methods and
plans OF teaching to her audience.
after which she gave a demonstra-
tion of some teaching pieces for little
tots by playing and singing very
sweet yet easy lullaby for mother
and child to sing together while the
child plays the accompaniment.
Miss Clark has studied a number
OF the newer methods but has made
the Leschetizky method her founda-
tion work. The music pupils of
Snyder are familiar with this meth
od as Mrs. f. B. Barnes has employ
ed It very successfully in her musical
work in Snyder for a number ot
years and has laid a foundation and
created a musical atmosphere any
town should Justly be proud OF. We
are sure that Miss Clark will uphold
this high standard and lead our boys
and girls to a deeper appreciation OF
Gods wonderful gift-music.
Miss Clark knows music, having
studied in Kidd-Key. S. NJ. L. and
IT. w. c.. and comes to US as an ex-
perienced teacher as well as an ac-
comp.ished performer. Her intro
ductory recital shows that she can
analyse and interpret the most dit
ficult pieces of Bach as we'll as Cho-
pin aud Listz. Her expression,
phrasing and technique are good.
Her hand position is splendid. with
pleasing personality she readily
captured the hearts OF the children
which is half the battle in teaching.
Snyder should feel highly honored
TO have Miss Clark with us for the
1920-192l school term.
