At MISUNDERSTANDING In par
ticular-the United States ontclass-
es the remainder of the world.
This has been proven time and
again and the demonstrations will
continue as long as the United
states as a nation or through its in
dividual citizens-is invited to par
ticipate in competition in which
shooting irons play a prominent
part.
You very well a recall the part
the United States played in what
we know as the world war, how the
herman lines sagged after the youth
of America reached the line of fire,
but what we want to tell you in this
message Is Of shooting events of
more recent origin.
The pick Of the worlds athletes
are to be found in the Olympic
games. Nations that turn
out a good track athlete or SWIM
mer can be depended upon to turn
out good marksmen. Most every
one can shoot-there are some who
can shoot better than others. The
best shots in the world are found in
the Olympic games.
What Our Shooters Did
How the United States outclassed
the other nations can be summed up
quickly.
The lowest shot on the United
States team in the worlds cham
pionship team competition broke
more targets than the highest scor-
err of any other team.
Each nation was allowed five en-
trants in the individual champion
ship of the world. The first five
places were won by Americans.
In the English trapshooting
championships which preceded the
Olympic games the American shoot
ers won hfty-two of the seventy-two
prizes offered in eight events, win
ming seven firsts. The other first
place would have came to the Unit
ed States, but for a rule restricting
a shooter who had arleady won a
first from winning this event. That
is what happened. In the English
championships American shooters
also gathered in five seconds, four
thirds and four fourths.
Ray took the United States golf
championship to England but we
are even up because Frank Troeh
brought back the English trap
shooting championship. America
has much better prospects of win
ming back the golf championship
than England has of winning back
the trapshooting championship. If
Troeh doesn't defend the champion
ship next year Forest McNier will
go to England prepared to keep the
trophy in the United States.
When McNier broke 100 straight
targets in the English championship
events he performed a feat which
never before had been accomplish
ed in Great Britain. Englishmen
didn't believe it possible to make
runs of that length. They were
skeptical of the long runs made in
the United States. McNier's run
carried through three days, one
event of forty targets, and two

nothing short of marvellous. Most

COTTON PICKERS REACH HIGH FINANCIAL STATE;
SOME FAMILIES MAKING AS HIGH AS $50 A DAY

AUSTIN, Texas, January L
When it comes 10 making money,
cotton pickers are in class by them
selves this season. In many instances
families are making as much as $40
and as high as $50 day. 1t all de-
ponds on how many there are in the
family. There is such a scarcity of
cotton pickers this year that the price
has gone up from 81 hundred pounds
to SO a hundred pounds. Not many
years ago pickers were satisfied with
Is cents hundred pounds. Many
pickers are able to gather 400 pounds
pounds of cotton day. and it is not
unusual for children who are barely
in their teens to pick an average OF
800 pounds day.
Not only are farmers paying the rec
ord breaking price of SO a hundred
pounds for picking the staple but they
also are securing the state for men,
women and children for the work.
The transportation of the pickers to
and from the farms is paid and in
some cases board Is given by the
planters.
Whites Go Into Fields.
In former times it was regarded be-
meath the dignity of a white person
to pick cotton. That work was left to
negroes and Mexicans. But this year,
on account of the alluring compensa-
ton and the shortage of labor, thous-
ands Of white families may be seen
working in the fields plucking the
| fleecy staple. With the labor now
available it will be two or three
months before the crop is harvested.
This is particularly true Of the west
ern part of the state where an ex-
traordinarily heavy yield was obtain.
ed and where labor Is naturally
scarce.
With the negro element, cotton.
picking time Is season of outdoor
! frolic They seem to take naturally
to the work, notwithstanding its ard
uousness. AS soon as the cotton
hollis begin to open the negroes flock
into the country by the thousands
from the cities and towns, and remain
until they have obtained surfeit of
enjoyment and plethora of purse.
MORE
| Negro Preachers Active.
In nearly every community the ne
gro preachers take advantage Of the
temporary prosperity of the members
of their race to hold camp meetings
at which collections are taken up for
the benefit of the clergy. At these
camp meetings the emotional negroes
"get religion" Other negroes spend
the nights dancing and carousing. and
the older, staid set get enjoymen,
visiting around and indulging in such
gossip as may come to their ears.
1t is expected that the revenue de
rived by families of negroes and MeY
leans during the cotton picking season
will enable them to tive in compare
tive luxury drought the winter
months Most of them. particularly
those who make their homes in town
