Increase of one-thrd Seen by Gin
Men and Growers; Big Yield Last
Year and Top Prices Given
AS Cause.
GRADY HIT AVERAGE
OF "a PER ACRE
10000 Acres Last Year Produced
Over $4,000 Bales; chiokasha
Was Highest Cotton Market
In Entire State.

A combination of conditions in Gra-
dy county is to cause an increase of
one-thfrd in the cotton acreage of
this county, according to estimates
of county farm Officials, gin men and
farmers.
Last year there were 10000 acres
of cotton in the county. This year
is to show an increase of 33 1-3 per
cent according to J. w Owens, coun-
ty agent. The conditions that are
bringing about this increase are:
reduction in wheat acreage of Is
per cent; the fact that Chickasha
was established last fall as the top
cotton market of the state and the
big yield that the farmers of Grady
enjoyed in 1919.
Yield Three-Fourths Bale.
Records show that Grady county
produced an average yield fully 50
per cent higher than an amount that
is considered big yield of cotton
per acre in any country. There were
10000 acres in Grady Gin reports
show that there were more than 49,
600 bales of cotton ginned in this
county making an average yield of
slightly more than three-quarters of
a bale per acre
In addition to this, Chickasha took
the lead last year as the highest cot
ton market in the state, and held
that lead throughout the season. The
market was quoted here at from 4S
to so cents a pound while other
points were quoting as low as 40
cents, cotton men declare, and show
records to prove it,
Grady Acala County.
The answer to the high prices here
is that Grady is now established as
the Acala county of the state.
Through the cooperation of bankers,
seed men and farmers last year.
much of Grady countys acreage was
planted to Acala cotton, uniform
staple, a big yield and high prices
being the result.
This year, the Acala acreage is be-
ing greatly increased Few farmers
in Grady are going in for enormous
acreages of cotton, owing to the fear
that there may be Ia labor shortage
to care for the crop, but great
many more Of the farmers are de-
voting a part of their ground to this
crop, the aggregate bringing the to-
tai acreage far beyond that of last
year

To Defend City.

Federal officials aid that they had
enough troops to L.lend the city and
would oppose any attempt on the
part of the rebels to take the cap
ital.
General Gonzales, one of the presi-

caused the present rebellion over
Mexico has fled 1t is reported that
he is mobilizing his forces near here.
His move may mean considerable
danger to the government, it is be-
lieved.

Juarez Loss a Blow.

The capituIation Of Juarez to the
Obregon cause has materially weak
ened the resistance of the Carranza
government to the general revolt,
which is reported rapidly spreading
over the county. Juarez is probably
fourth on the list of border ports in
point of revenues, and with deflec
tion of the entire state of Chihuahua,
the Sonora revolution gaining swiftly
into financial, as well as military
power Business men here, among
which are fifty prominent visitors
from Chicago, on southwestern tour
today, have expressions of satisfac-
ton that border ports are falling in
to hands of Mexicans familiar with
and friendly to Americans and Amer
ican affairs. The Chicago visitors
were invited to rross the river into
Juarez and a few saw the sights
there.

Idiocyncracies of Men and Women.

A woman who has married and gone
away won't go back home to visit I'M
til she has some new clothes. For that
reason, a good many projected and
contemplated visits are never made.
Most of the bad habits were in
vented by men. The woman who in
dulges in questionable practices does
so because the men have either en-
couraged her in wrongdoings or have
set the example for her. Except that
men do not as rule, kiss each other,
not much can be said for them.
Except for the brief period known
as the awkward age" a woman is at
tractive from the day she is born. But
she does not reach her zenith until she
is thirty-five. There is nothing so fas-
cinating as fascinating woman over
forty.
If you wish to get in touch with the
average American family, do not take
the trouble to call at It's place of res
idence. Instead, go directly to the
moving picture theatre.
Joseph was sold down into Egypt
by his brethren. And the youngest of
every family of boys has been getting
the worst of it ever since.
Everything except cornet playing is
now taught by mail. Everything ex-
cept hot water can be purchased in
cans.
Turn a man loose in a cellar or in
an attic and he will do more damage
in an hour than his wife can repair
in a week.
A woman who has married and gone
away won't go back home to visit until
she has new clothes. For that reason,
good many projected and contemp-
lated visits are never made.
The rule is that if a man knows of
something that will pay more than
6 per cent interest on the investment
he will keep it for himself.
Medical science makes such strides
that by the time the patient RECEIVERS
the treatment to which he has been
subjected has deem discarded and a
new one devised.
An Industrious man attracts loaf
ers as white clover attracts bees. For
every man in tbs country who is will
ing to work there are three who are
anxious to watch him do it.

BADLY BATTERED

The members of the Ocala high
school football team returned Sunday
from jacksonville, where they were
beaten by a score of 6S to 0 Saturday
icy the Duval high school eleven.
TIE team was badly battered. 1t
went up against an aggregation of
boys about so per, cent heavier and
a hundred percent better trained.
Wilfred Harold had an arm broken,
Harold Smith was kicked in the head
and Robert Hall had leg severely
bruised, and nearly every boy in the
team sustained slighter casualties.
The boys are a game bunch and are
making no complaints. But the Star
voices .Ocala sentiment when it pro-
tests against their being sent against
other teams clear out of their class.
They have made three brave fights
against teams Of bigger, better train
ed boys. They haven't gained any
thing. not even practice, for no boy,
however plueky, can learn anything
by being run over by another and
Imuch heavier boy.

Two road-hog massacres in Tampa
last week. Man killed in each; also,
in each the perpetrator ran away.
Something like that coming to us up
here before long. Sometimes we go
out riding in the evening with some
friend or other who has car. AL
most always said friend, at least once
on the trip, sees blaze of light
ahead and turns his car almost into
the ditch. and him and US hold our
breaths while speed-fiend tears past,
popping the air. between the cars
ike a young thunderclap. Peaceable
man who drives out in his car of an
evening should put good heavy re-
volver down by his side and when he
sees road scorcher approaching
should send a shot across his bows,
followed by another between his glar-
ing headlights if he doesn't shut
them off and slow down. The law
seems helpless to protect a live hui
man or avenge a dead one in such
eases, so it is time people protected
themselves. A few good lessons of
the kind we have recommended would
vastly increase the spirit of consider
alton among some drivers for others
along our roads.
