LARGER AND BETTER
 GYMNASIUM FOR WINS.
( By Helen Maxwell )

Soon, work on the new gym nasium will begin, and an eff fort will be made for it's com pletion before the next school term in September. The only thing which flinders the work men from beginning at once is indecision regarding it's loca- ton.
 Two positions have been con- sidered: separate building on the lots across the street north of the school building, and the vacant ground between the two south wings of the present buil- ding. By many, the latter is considered better for two reas- ons. First, three sides of the room now stand and it would be necessary to construct only one side; second, the plant which now heats the building would serve to heat this room also.
 If this plan was followed the gymnasium would cut off the light from the assembly hall, skylights would be placed in the roof. making the lighting much better. it being very poor as it now is. The assembly room would be used only for study, and new assembly room would be made in addi- tion to the gymnasium, with opera seats fastened to the floor. This room could be used for public gatherings.
 If the other plan were carri- ed out the expense would be much greater.
 By experience. everyone knows that the gymnasium will not hold a very large number of neople. and that the sccomoda- tions are very poor. When the visiting teams come to play basketball +hey cornplain of the low ceiling. which makes it very difficult to throw baskets when they have been accustom- ed to hi~h ceilings. These diff faculties and many others will be overcome with the erection of a ner-- ovmn sium. The seat ino carc ~ity will he made much by making a balcony along two sides of the room and the ceili-,e will be made higher.
 Shol''d the highschool pupils ever give a dance. the gymna- sium would be ideal, as the floor will be of hard wood.
 Eithe'' of the locations would be highly advantageous, as the gymnasium could be entered without "oing through the main nart of the building. This sec ton could be locked when not in use.
 The old gymnasium will be turned into a play room for 5he younger children. As it now is, on stormy days. the children have to stay either in heir rooms or out of doors. as ,hey are crowded out of the play room by the larger pupils, VITO are playing basket ball.
 We are waiting hopefully for he new gymnasium and when his is completed we will have ! building of which we may yell be proud.

Too Much Cotton.

Houston, Texas, Feb 18.-Appeal-
ing to the bankers to encourage de-
duction in cotton acreage, Clarence
Ousley, former assistant secretary
of agriculture today painted a gloomy
picture of the economic. situation and
declared this seasons exports of cot
ton are 100000 bales behind.
Addressing members of the first
district meeting of the. Texas Bank
er's association, Mr.. Ousley declared
domestic mill has taken 100000
bales less of cotton this year COM
pared with a year ago and character
lied the marketing situation in the
South "a shame to our commerce mad
warehousing and a reproach to our
people"
Mr.. Ousley, who is at present con-
nected with Texas Agricultural and
Mechanical college, declared South
ern farmers this season would have
a carry over of 100000 bales of
cotton. If prices are to increase next
year, he added, acreage must be re-
duced one-third.

Farm Products Valued at
SI9,S56,OOO,OOO.
Farm

The value of farm crops of 1920
and the farm animal products and
animals sold and slaughtered, as final
ly determined by the Bureau of
Crop Estimates, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is $19,S56,-
100000 or s5.1O5, 100000 below the
4otal of 1919. The drop is almost en-
tirely confined to crops, among which
the chief declines in value are: Corn,
$1,662, 100000; cotton lint and seed,
S1,3OO,OOO,OoO; wheat, Ss54,00O,-
900; hay, tame and wild, S325,0OO,-
600; tobacco, S24S, 100000, and oats,
100000.
On the other hand, as many as ten
crops gained in value, chief of which
are oranges, with gain of 32,0OO,-
900, and sugar beets, S24,000,000.
Other items of gain are cabbage;
100000; cowpeas, s1O,0OO,O0O;
sorghum cane sold and syrup made,
$7,OOO,O00. Small gains were made
by soy beans, suger beet seed, maple
sugar and syrup, and onions. Appar-
emily, the products of the farm wood
lot have gained s223, 100000 in value
in comparison with 1919.
After offsetting gains against loss
es the net crop value reduction in
1920 below 1919 is S4,S64,O00,O00,
while only S2s7, 100000 is found in
the total of farm products and farm
animals sold and slaughtered. The
wool decline is as yet unrealized, but
1t is reckoned at S37,OO0,0OO. Of the
animals sold and slaughtered, the de-
cline for cattle and calves is $685.
100000 and for swine, S427, 100000.
But on the other side of the account,
dairy products gained S911,000,O00,
and poultry raised and eggs produced
S16O,0OO,O00.
1t is rule that, in the upward and
downward. movements of prices, farm
animals and animal products lag be-
hind crops. So extreme was the lag
in the price of animals and animal
products in 1920, on account of the
extraordinary fall in the prices of
crops within short period Of time,
that the total crop value of 1920 is
reckoned to be only Sc per cent of
The total value of all farm products.
In the estimates for long series of
years, this is the first crop value es-
innate that has fallen below 60 per
cent of the total of all products

Do You Know the Bible? {?

: John Richard Green opens the Sec
ond volume of his "Short History of
the English People" by telling of the
influence and greatness of the Eng
land of that period. England be-
came people of book, that book
was the Bible" When the World War
was on, President Wilson sent to the
soldiers and sailors of America a
message on Bible reading which we
are reproducing as our Thought for
the Week" in this issue. Theodore
Roosevelt was perhaps an even more
diligent Bible student than President
Wilson. The King of England reads
Bible chapter every day.
When the foremost men in the
world find time for Bible reading,
surely all the rest of US can familiar
ize ourselves with volume which is
at once the worlds greatest master
piece of literature and the supreme
source of moral and spiritual power
for men!
To encourage the increased study
of the Bible by Progressive Farmer
readers we have been publishing
weekly for some time one favorite
Old Testament verse and one favo-
rite New Testament verse as furnish
ed us by our readers, and we are
starting in this issue series of ques-
&ions and answers on the Bible which
we expect to run the rest of the year.
Each week we will print several ques-
tions, and the following week the ans
wers will be given. Here is the first
list of questions:
4. Of what did the first wedding
1preseHt consist? :.
2. BY whom and for whom was
ethe first burying ground bought?
3. According to sacred history,
who was the first hunter?
4. Who first suffered martyrdom?
5. Who was the first person that
died after the creation?
6. Who was the first person that
died 4 natural death?
y. What was the first scripturai
song.
8. Who made the first confession
to the Lord as recorded in the Bible?
9. What was the first offering OF
,ynman recorded in the Bible.
no. Who was the first recorded per
son raised from death to life?

The strange matrimonial trian-
gle resulting in A. M. Botsford,
former noted actor, giving up his
wife to the man she loved, his
best friend, has stirred New York.
The wedding of the former Mrs
Botsford to Raoul Fleischmann
was the climax of a matrimonial
triangle stranger than fiction. Bots
ford and Fleischmann were col
Iege chums. When BotsfOrd mar
ried the belle of his home town,
Quincy, Mass, his chum was best
man. The marriage cemented more
closely the friendship of the two
men and Mrs. Botsford. The three
were almost inseparable. Then
came a time when Mrs. Botsford
frankly told her husband she had
ceased to love him and loved an
other, his best friend. The three
talked 1t over with the result that
Botsford refused to stand in the
way of his wife's happiness. Mrs
Botsford went to Reno and got a
divorce. She then married Fleisch-
mann. The illustration shows
Gardiner Botsford, three years old,
who will spend six months with
his father and six months with his
mother, who is now the wife of his
daddy's best friend.

Bearcats Will
Invade Dallas
Friday Evening

Next Friday evening the william
ette Bearcats will play their last
pre-conference season basketball
game when they journey to Dallas
to meet the fast American Legion
quintet.
According to available dope it
is the opinion of Coach r. L. Ma
thews that the Bearcats will be op-
posed by one of the fastest of inde-
pendent hoopers. Concerning the
outcome of this game, the mooted
question is whether the Dallas team
will be able to add another link to
its chain of victories. 1t is said that
the game will be bitterly contested
by Dallas to atone for the defeat
suffered last year which was their
only loss of the season, at the hands
of Coach Mathews hoopers.
Coach Mathews, according to re-
ports, is urging his charges to mas
ter a new passing system featuring
the short, snappy. underhand pass
es. Mastery of this system, calims
Coach Mathews, will increase the
offensive power of the team, as it
demands that the ball be kept in
motion thus retaining possession of
the ball. Greater portion of the
practice hour is being devoted to
details ofthis passing system.
Wapato, veteran forward of the
Methodist institution quintet and
who did not appear in the first two
games of this season, turned out
last week and will accompany the
team to Dallas Friday. The prob
able lineup for Friday: McKittrick
and Wapato, forwards; Jackson,
center; Rareq and Dimick, guards,
