A Treatment for Nerves

THE PHYSICIAN will tell you that the first thing to do in case
Baltimore Sun offers q cure for NERVES by telling US what il
the trouble. Being unable to reconcile yourself to your environ
nlent is his explanation Of NERVES in most people. 1t is not ac-
curate to say being unable" to recCncie yourself. An unwilling
ness to accept things as they are, to abide BY the rules is repre-
scented by a siXletter word meaning nerves"
If the family prOvider isn't making enough money TO provide
q closed car and g seaskin coat. and you are certain one Of your
excellence deserves these things and feel abused because you can't
have them, and spend hours broodinc over the cOntrariness of the
inevitable, the result is nerves. says this Baltimore writer. One
can dwell with SO much earnestness upon his misfortunes IA to
make himself the most miserable person in creation ami all the
while millions Of others are grieving because they are not SO
fortunate as he is.
If we may accent q widely approved verdict that the world
IS more bothered with nerves now. than it has ever been before,
1t IS probably because more people are out of place now than ever
before. II al the people could be lifted bodily out of Their a-
Sumed position and set into the place where they belong there
would be an aggregate of satisfaction quite unreasonable. It
has always been 50 with the world. perhaps. but it is more true
now imam ever that everybody is tvng to do something lust "
little bit beyond their ability. And when thew fail they seldom
attribute the failure TO any inperfection on their part.
Ambition Is q Grand thing and il is hard To see how the world
could get along without il. But ambition IL Ut the same time the
cause OF most Of our dissatisfaction. AT least we prefer to calf
It ambition when it is an excess Of ego. We want to do some
thng Just out Of our reach. We want to write i poem or \ book
OF pant a picture and in trying TO do this impossible thing we ale
missing the thing that We could 10 we'll and satisfactorily.
II all the people could be set to work doing the thing for which
they are best fitted, how happy everybody would be-Beaumont
Enterprise.

Cameron County's Cotton Crop

CAMERON COUNTY this season produced 3o,955 bales of
~ cotton, compared with p, $3.50 last year. according to the De-
cember ginning report of the census bureau. Eilalgo county has
about as 900 bales.
This is more than the vast majority of Texas counties pro-
duced, though Ellis, leading all counties, had ginned to that date
l15390 bales and Williamson county had ginned 100,275 bales.
Cummings for the Valley reached approximately 10000 bales,
which was an impressive record and larger than earlier estimates
indicated.
Cameron counties production would make two large sized car
goes for freghters of the type making gulf ports. Hidalgo coun-
tvs would have made three big cargoes.
Up to December Is Texas had ginned more than 4.5OO. 900
bales and had a little more than 100000 bales to 90 to reach the
governments final estimate of 4,770,0OO bales. 1t NAV be that
the recent cold wave has put an end to gathering, though this
remains to be seen, and it is more than probable that the state
will have produced the figures set by the government.
1t would seem from the level of prices that have prevailed
during the fall that Valley growers Jared very well. Indeed, they
received more for their growth than those who have been mar
keting in recent months The earliest cotton in the Valley COM
manded the best prices; substantial recessi0ns from the highest
had taken place before the Valley crop had all been ginne1 and
marketed. The average price, however, was undoubtedly higher
than the average for the cotton that has since been sold in the
state.
There is every indication that the Valley will go in for cot
ton strong again next season, and j. the normal course of prices
prevails, our growers will again fare relatively well.

Navy Dept. Head May
Be Asked to Out AS
Result of Disclosures.

WASHINGTON, January 28. -
Disclosures in the oil lease scandal,
which has apparently shaken the en-
tire Coolidge administration to its
very foundation already, may soon
result in the resignation of Secre-
tary DENLY of the navy department.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Theodore Roosevelt is also men
toned in this connection, both he
and DENLY having approved the
leases over the protests of naval
officers,
This week promises further sem
sations in the Fall oil scandal, in
volying new figures of prominence.
1t is expected that special coun-
sci to handle the Fall oil scandal
will be appointed by President
Coolidge before night.
Coolidge spent several hours con
sidering names Of available law
yers who dduld undertake the work,
and inspecting testimony and spe-
cial reports bearing on the oil cases.
There is persistent rumor
among democratic senators that
when Fall takes the stand, he will
bring in the name of prominent
Republican senator through whose
hands sums of a few thousand dol.
lars at a time are said to have pass
ed to the former secretary of in
terror.
Senator Smoot, of Utah, also
may be asked to take the stand to
exlpain an unsigned memorandum
purporting to explain how Fall re-
ceived the 100000 loan which Do
heny now claims to have advanced.
Incidentally, this story is different
from any Of the others, This
memorandum is suspected by some
senators, of having been prepared
and furnished to senator of the
investigating committee to be
handed to a witness who was to
have testified in behalf of Fall.
But between the time the memoran-
dun was written and the date when
the witness was to have appeared,
Fall issued his statement about
having received the loan from f. B.
Mclean, Washington publisher, and
the memorandum was never called
for. Senator Walsh stumbled onto
it in going over the files Of the
committee.
Suggestions that Secretary of the
Navy DENLY should be asked to re-
sign are growing more pointed as
the full import of the oil lease is
grasped
