Through for Year
Stanley

SAN BENITo. Oct. 13.-With the
Valley cotton crop practically all
ginned and preparations already
under way for the planting Of next
years crop, Ii. y. Boyd, Of the Valley
Gin company, declared that this
years crop was better than last
years and that the acreage was 30
per cent less this year than last.
Approximately $1,000 bales Of
Valley cotton vas ginned this year
Is against about 167 900 last year,
he declared. Ii was not the yield
per acre that fell off this year; il
was the acreage under cultivation,
he said.
The average quality Of the crop
was better this season than last,
when rains spoiled much cotton af-
ter the picking. The Valley crop
Is practically all in with the excep-
tion Of a top crop in q few scattered
instances where poisoning was re-
sorted to in the field.
Mr.. Boyd predicts a much larger
acreage and higher prices for cotton
next year.

The Rough Riders
Historical Picture

Human and rollicking in places,
grimly affecting in others, blending
finely all the Of love,
struggle, bravery, humor. pathos and
death "The Rough Riders" at its
opening Wednesday won the highest
appreciation Of a capacity audience
1T the Queen Theater.
To attempt to follow the drama in
a brief review is useless. IL is too
swift. too brea~th-taking, too replete
with moments Of subtlety and too
flooding in its emotional character.
One can say that Paramount has
made a story that breathes the ideal
ism Of Theodore Roosevelt, one OF
the greatest Of Americans; that the
story %recounts his nature and hi,
exploits in the Cuban regime of
hate, war and fever, with an amazing
spit of faithfulness; that a love
theme with Mary Aston, Charles
Farrell ard Charles Emmett Mack,
winds like a glowing thread through
the drama: and that the difficult
sequences Of the blowing up Of The
Maine. the gathering Of the Rough
Riders. their fierce courage in the
hail Of Spanish lead. and the DOM
inant figure of T. r. alive every mo-
ment. contribute 10 art and express
history.
