With the Club Girls

Dear Club Members:
Due to the fact that a majority Of
the schools will be closing within
two or three weeks, I am sure we
will find it "a little more difficult
to attend our Club meetings, however,
you will have more time to devote
to your club work after school closes.
Now, let's have our club meetings
some where in the community each
month, so that we can keep up the
work, and make 1928 a. Banner Club
Year in Pearl River County.

SHORT COTTON CROP
Unusual Conditions Cause Failing OF
In Dewitt County Receipts.

Cuero, Tex. Sept. 22.-The De-
Witt county cotton crop is running
true to preseason estimates. and will
average about with 1922, when some
thing over 30,0tv bales were made.
A normal crop is estimated at go
600 bales.
The difference in the 1922 and
1923 cotton crops is found in the
fact that in 1922. the best crops were
in the western prairie sections, while
the eastern part of the county and
particularly around Cuero and Yoa-
kun fell down very badly.
This year Cuero and Yoakum re-
ceipts are better than in 1922, while
Yorktown. Nordheim and Westhoff
have received to date a little better
than half what they had at the same
period last year.
One of the causes for this differ
ence is found in the unequal distribu-
ton of rainfall, which was partial
throughout the ear, giving some
sections too much rain. other sections
too little. and still others just about
what they wanted.
Another cause in the timber sec
tons which have fallen down hardest
in the wet years, due to boil weevil

been made by these three women
themselves, but each outfit has includ-
ed dress, underclothes, shoes, stock

case of the boys, suit of coat and
trousers took the place of the dress.
but the outfit was just as complete.
This club has also paid for having
the kindergarten redecorated, ana fur
nished material TO be used in its work.
as well as paying the salary for an
assistant kindergarten teacher through
all the school year.
Mrs. Lambeth. as president and
prime mover in the work done. has, as

and she makes personal collection of
the money donated through this
means.
This is the third year that this gen.
