Dane sent as a valentine gift,
but Nora Lee rather well
coined these raids on her

Minna had a tiny crimson bow tuck

She was very diminutivc and dainty

monotonous. She couldn't babble

A man with a brain was coming to

8. A. PLAYS HOST
To COTTON Of
29 I EXAS
COUNTIES
Compress Makes Little
Ones Out Of Big Gin
Bales.

San Antonio will play host to 81.
100000 worth of transient cotton
raised in Bexar and 2S adjoining
counties in the 1925 season.
This estimate was made by Her
man Gee, general manager of the San
Antonio compress, which despite the
drouth, will compress more than To-
600 bales from the 1925 crop of cot
ton in the 30 counties served by the
local compress.
In playing the part of host to this
large amount of cotton for a few
months, the city is going to offer
very unusual form of entertainment,
inasmuch as that each guest will
be roughly treated and reduced con-
siderably in size by means of huge
pieces of machinery at the compress.
TAKE LONG JOURNEY.
Then they will be put in storage
may be for two days and may be for
the entire winter or longer, all accord
ing to the orders of the owner. Then
they will take a journey, which may
end at one Of the most distant points
on earth.
Ten thousand bales had been COM
pressed before September 10 of this
year. For the same date in 1924.
several thousand fewer bales had been
reduced in size, Mr.. Gee said. This
was explained by the fact that the
drouth caused, the bolls to open sooner
and therefore speeded up the work OF
picking and ginning.
Bcxar county will produce 1900
bales Of the total of $4,000 which
the compress expects to press.
REVERSE PROCESS.
THE usual business tendency is to
make big ones out of little ones, but
we specialize in making very small
ones out of the extra large ones,
Mr.. Gee said in speaking of the nature
Of the work done at the compress.
