CALDWELL HIGH
DROPS CAME To
BOISE QUINTET
Divide Series, Leaving
Teams Tied for Dis
trict Championship;
Score Is Lopsided.

Caldwell high school hoopsters
were no match for Jim Keane's Boise
Braves on the latter's home stamping
ground Friday night and dropped the
contest by a lopsided 47-2l score.
Only once in the 40 minutes playing
period did the Caldwell roofing sec
ton get an opportunity to show its
fettle. In the opening minutes OF the
second half. with Boise leading aD-l0,
Captain Elmer Jensen scored three
field goals in rapid succession and
brought the score l6-2O II was a
pretty piece OF work. But the rally
was short lived and the deadly team
work of the Boise team once more got
into action, scoring field goal after
field goal The closing minutes OF
play with E. Lowell and Wasmer on
the bench, turned the matinee into
rout and Boise rapidly piled up ITS
score.
Captain Jensen was the whole Cald-
well show. He is credited with every
one OF the local scores. playing 4 nice
floor game in addition to his scoring
ability. Poor passing and woesul
lack of team work cost the Caldwell
team any chance of winning the con-
test
White of Star officiated at the game.
He followed the ball closely and aside
from negligence in calling running
technical fowls made repeatedly by
each team, he worked well, branding
himself as a competent official.
For Boise, Robinson and Quinet
were'the bright lights, the latter scor-
ing almost at will in the closing min
utes OF play.
This game ties Boise and Caldwell
in the district championship race.
Providing each team wins the remain
der of its game. it is likely that three
game series will be played to deter
mine the championship.
Friday night of this week the high
school boys play Meridian here. The
Prune Pickers are being coached by
Fay Tolles, former c. of l. player.
and the squad is said to be the strong
est Meridian has turned out for a
of years.

By o. +. BRADFUTE
President. American Farm Bureau
Federation

CHICAGO,-While some OF the
shadows OF the clouds OF 1922 have
passed away and agriculture is in
some respects in better shape than
for the past two years. there yet re-
mains much to be done before we
reach a proper level as compared with
other industries and commodities.
am convinced that our greatest
aid the past year came from within
our own ranks and that in the future
we will find self-help our greatest
reliance.
Agriculture will not and canno,
succeed except through organization
and cooperation.
Agriculture must be put on its feet
again and the business made so al
tractive OF the farms. That problem is
one for the American Farm Bureau
Federation to help solve for the Am
crican farmer
No one who attended the last an
nual meeting could help but realize
that the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton was there setting up some
stakes to mark out a straight fur
row for the accomplishment of a few
very definite purposes during the COM
ing year.
The Farm Burea poses as serv-
ice organization. Without doubt the
greatest and most immediate seTvic,
which can be rendered is help in
more successfully and proitably mark
citing farm products. This undoub,-
ediy means cooperative marketing and
may be applied to every type OF farm
production and thus render a real
service to each and every farmer in
America. There is, therefore, being or
ganized a special department of mark
citing in our office here to be headed
by Walton Peteet, of Dallas Tex,
one OF the strongest men OF the
country available for that work. He
will be ably supported by such as
sistants as he may need.
Successful cooperative marketing
bringing into play all the other de-
partments OF the American Farm
Bureau Federation. The departments
OF organization. information. research
transportation and legislation will be
called on and used to assist in this
great work. Each can render efficien,
help.
This work can only succeed with |
the aid OF each and every one OF our
members. Let each one make good
use of the facilities being set up for
your use and stand by it, Let the |
slogan for the year be:
"Servicel The opportunity. Coop

LITTLE PROGRESS MADE
IN SOLUTION OF STATES
FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES

AUSTIN, Texas. June 5.-Delibera-
tions Of the third called special legisla-
tive session during the past week have
been of little avail as far as solving the
financial problem facing the state. Clos
ing Of the third week Of the session
finds the work of making appropra-
tions come within the available reven-
ues little more than started
An outstanding feature ol the past
weeks work was the failure Of the two
houses to adopt the joint steering"
committees program which leaders
claimed would have permitted adjourn
ment within n week. By the decisive
vote of Gl to 80, the lower house post
poned the report indefinitely and the
senate after such action, did not take
it up.
The evident result Of this action was
defeat of the Coffee gross oil produc
tion tax bill by the senate. II was a.
greed by the joint committee that the
bill would be passed at and one fourth
per cent. but on failure Of the program,
agreements on the oil bill also failed.
Another prominent action Of the week
was the veto by the governor OF $780,

last session. The work of the second
called session was thereby practically

BIG COMPRESS
TO Be ERECTED
HIDALCOCO.
San Juan Selected as Site for
One Of Largest Cotton
Congresses in the State;
Land Donated.
Especial TO the Herald)

SAN JUAN. Texas. June 5.-R. J.
Baker. representing V. j. Grunder, a
well-known cotton compress operator at
Cuero, Sinner and Victoria, Texas,
closed q deal yesterday whereby San
Juan was chosen as the site for $685.
900 cotton compress and concentrating
plant, the site to cover six acres. The
land was donated by the city Of San
Juan and is located just across the Gulf
Coast Lines tracks.
The compress will be 700 feet long
and l2O feet wide and will have a floor
space Of $4,000 square feet, represent
ing capacity Of 5000 bales ut one
time. The floor will be constructed of
Uvalde asphalt. with roof Of metal.
The sides will be open, to facilitate
loading and unloading on all sides. Spur
tracks will be constructed from the
main line Of the railroad. Work on the
immense structure will commence the
latter part Of this week.
The building will contain n webb
high density compress of the hyraulic
type, hugo cranes to handle the bales
and the necessary pumps and other ma
chinery which Is due to arrive here in a
short time. The construction work will
be rushed to completion in time to
handle the 1928 crop.
This is the frs. concentration and
compress to be erected in the upper
Valley and means much to cotton
growers here.
Concentration of cotton at San Juan
will attract many buyers because the
several grades will be grouped accord
ing to tests made by expert cotton
graders. This method of marketing cot
ton is in demand by foreign buyers,
who purchase cotton subject TO defin-
ite specifications. Foreign buyers are
also attracted because Of the compress
feature. Compressed bales are about
one-third the size of n regular bale Of
the same weight. This saves two
thirds Of the space necessary in freight
ears and steamships.
Expert cotton graders will be en-
ployed to sample every bale handled by
the concern. The various fibre lengths
will be grouped in sections. Groups will
also be made up as to color and other
Of cotton grading. A rea-
sonable fee will be charged the farmer
who disposes Of his cotton through the
compress.
