in Unirrigated
Section.

WICHITA FALLS. Sept. 10.-Hot
dry winds experienced in Northwest
Texas during the last ten days have
caused the cotton crop of Wichita
county to deterioratc rapidly accord
ing to Guy r. JONES, county asri'
cultural agent.
Some farmers estimate that at least
onerfourth of the squares of buds have
dropped off cotton in the dry land
sections of the county during the last
week due to the extremely hot
weather.
Rain Thursday morning caused no
damage to cotton, as far as it was
learned Thursday. Farmers declared
that the rain was of great benefit
to the late feed crops in this section
and-that wheat farmers were pleased
by the slow downpour.
The picking Of the cotton in the
irrigated Wichita valley has been
progressing rapidly for the last three
weeks and the plants in the areas
where water was available was dam
aged but little by the extreme hot
dry winds.

ternational exposition of modern
decorative and industrial art, now be-
ing held in Paris, where he was
scheduled tc speak next Saturday.
Mr.. Barber was champion of sim
plicity and an ardent advocate OF
durable construction in this country.
He was a designer who paused be-
tween the building of the Hartford,
Conn, tower and statehouses in vari-
GUS parts of the country to develop
the plan for the solution of the prob

people Of New York.

of New York and its environs, des-

to reshape a part of that city and
project it's usefulness into another
generation. In addition to this he
Homes in America, preached it on
his time and his talents to the prac-
teal development of these programs.
But the ambition of the closing
days of his life was the building of
the Broadway Temple. 1t is said by
those interested In this project that
Mr.. Barber originated the idea of this
new type of American self-supporting
and that when pictures of
latest plans for 1t were distributed
over the country he received more
than 5000 letters of inquiry about it..
Mr.. Barber's career had been bril-
liant from his student days in Paris,
where he completed the work of the
Escole des Beaux Arts in 1898 in the
shortest time Of record. He was the
first American architect received as
a member of Beaux Arts, and had
been decorated both by the French
and British governments for his dis
work. In his passing
loses a man whose spirit
was needed in the profession, and
America a man who dreamed that
some day its beauty would be as
great as that of ancient Greece or

Further Restrictions to Be Made
 on Main Street
TENTH DISTRICT MEETING
Tax Of Five Mills For Next Year Leyied-Fifth District to Meet Monday Night-sessions Boy Hit by Automobile.

No parking on Main street be- tween Riverside avenue and the Memorial Boulevard on both sides Of the street will become effective within a few days as the result of the ordinance passed by the city council. The congestion Of the river bridge, which has served as a temporary terminal for trolley cars. has made this action by the council imperative as many narrow escapes from accident and the ty- ing up of traffic has been serious of late. Of late, according to the po- lice, the parking privilege has been abused in that section as many cars were left for hours at a time, when the parking space on the Memorial Boulevard but few steps away could have been conveniently used as well. The many complaints caused the city fathers 10 stop all parking and as soon as the necessary time for the advertising of the ordinance is completed. the ruling will be in operation.
 The no parking rule on the west side of Main street from Riverside avenue 10 North Main street has been effective since 1t was instituted. The public has become accustomed
