Those Birdell Singers

P0cahOntas was given real musi-
cal treat Sunday afternoon when the
Little Spring Singing Glass, of Birdell,
appeared at the Methodist church with
a complete program.
The house was packed, not a seat
being vacant, and many were forced
TO stand. 1t was a turnout of practi-
cally every denomination in town and
a large number of people from the
surrounding country were in attend
ance.
To say that the program was excel
lent would not be doing it full justice.
The class was composed of about
twenty-five voices and all showed the
result of careful training and a great
deal of practise. On the program
were choruses, general singing, mixed
and male auartettes. In the quartette
work. Mr.. and Mrs. Les Perrin, Ray
mond Barden and the Messrs. Hufsted-
Ter were bright and shining stars and
presented some numbers as good as
any lyceum Of chautauqua programs
ever to appear in PocahOntas. Messrs.
Perrin and Startling led the singing.
SO delighted was the audience by
the program that they are preparing
TO issue the class an invitation to come
over some Sunday and spend the day.
AT this time it is planned to have big
dinner together and an all day pro-
gram.

Bitten By Rattlesnake

frankie, the 3-year old daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Byrd, who live on
Thomasville Ave, is suffering with a
swollen foot as a result of a rattle
snake bite Monday.
The little girl was playing in the
yard with some other children near a
box which had been laying on the
ground for two or three days. They
started to lift the box and move it
when the baby suddenly began scream
ing. The other children, thinking they
had let the box down on her foot, made
haste to lift it, but the little one cried
out that snake was biting her. Look
ing down, the children saw a rattle
snake hanging to Frankie's ankle, its
fangs buried i'm her flesh. They pick
ed the girl up and with some difficulty
shook the snake off.
: Mrs. Byrd, hearing the screams, ran
out and killed the snake and carried
her baby into the house. Medical aid
was quickly obtained while first-aid
treatment was being administered.
i With the exception of a great deal
Of pain and considerable stiffness,
frankie is but little the worse for her
experience.

FIRST COTTON SQUARES
ARE EXHIBITED HERE

Joe S. Decker brought to this office,
last Saturday morning, stalk of cot
ton on which was a well developed
square, the first we had seen this sea
son. The cotton was grown by ]. w.
Decker, who lives east of town on the
Pringle farm.
Joe said there were several stalks
with squares in the field. and some had
two. j. w. said he planted the cotton
about fifteen days earlier than he had
ever planted before.
few hours later, l.. r. Ladymon,
who lives on the south end of the j. J.
Lewis farm. brought n stalk fifteen
inches high containing five squares.
Mr. Ladymon said he was trying out
the Texas system of farming this year
and, so far, was finding it very success
full.
ON Monday morning Barney Pull
liam brought in six stalks containing
squares. The largest stalk was nine
teen inches high and contained six
squares. 1t was grown on the Joe
Decker farm just across the river by
Mr.. Pulliam and Deck Holder. This
cotton was planted May Z, just n month
and day before it was brought in,
covered with squares.
Tuesday afternoon Elmo Roe phOn-
ed from Reyno that squares had been
found in the Bay. Three stalks, each
containing one square, were brought
to Reyno that day by Luther Halford.
They were grown ON Mrs. Fishers

STANDARD COTTON
TARE is ADOPTED

Through an agreement reached at
a conference of cotton dealers and
compressors with the department of
agriculture in Washington, stand
ard for covering and tieing cotton in
bales, and also standardization Of
weight and yardage and number of
pieces of bagging and ties. was agreed
upon and has been adopted by the
American Cotton Shippers Associa-
tion.
The standard will he six yards of
bagging weighing two pounds a yard
and cut in three yard lengths, and
six metallic bands of total of nine
pounds, 21 pounds to be the combined
weight of bagging and ties.
These standards will be recognized
by trade associations as the only ones
on which trading will be carried out
next fall
Full agreement has not been reach
ed on patches for covering sample
holes, but a standard patch also will
he adopted.
Spinning mills for several years have
made n As per cent reduction on the
weight Of a bale for tare, and excess
tare is billed back on the shipper and
is a total loss.
The standard bale of cotton is 800
pounds, and contract for 100 bales
must approximate within two per cent
of $4,000 pounds. If the contract is
satisfied with 4O0-pound bales, it would
require 125 bales, instead Of 100, to
satisfy the contract, which would mean
a tare loss of 525 pounds billed back
on the shipper.
As protection against excessive tare,
the state associations have adopted a
scale for light weight bale deductions,
ranging from one pound on bales aver
aging 465 to 4S5 pounds to nine
pounds on bales averaging from 300 to
1926 pounds.
