COTTON PICKER
and CLEANER IS
MANUFACTURED

CHICAGO, Sept. 2 R-Three in
ventions-a cotton picker, stripper and
cleaner were announced today by the
International Harvester ompany,
which expressed the belief that they
would emancipate the cotton growers
from costly hand labor of the ante
bellum style, the Chicago Daily News
said today
The ccmpany has been trying out
experimental cotton picking machines
for many years. The concern said
the picker still was regarded as semi
experimental and that only limited
number had been produced this year.
They have been placed in various areas
of the south and will be carefully OBJ
served during the fall and winter.
The Stripper or boiler, which is de-
signed for harvesting upland cotton
as distinct from the spindle type pick
er, which is meant for lowland use, is
of more Simple construction than the
picker and can be operated with either
horse or tractor power.
The cleaner through which the cot
ton is put after being picked, opens the
closed bolls without injuring the fiber,
it was stated, and then the cotton
passes to a drum where spindles pick
up only the lint, rejecting all other
material. This lint is then pneumati-
cally conveyed to a wagon or cotton
house where it is ready for the gin.

.SQUAT'TERS Are
REMOVED FROM
.PROTO ESTATE

NOGALES, Sept. 2 CP - Approx
mately 80 Mexican farmers who took
advantage of the national agrarian
laws last December to settle on lands
belonging to the Proto estate, located
Is miles from the international. border
in the state of Sonora, have been
forcibly removed by Mexicani federal
troops and their houses destroyed, ac-
cording to Louis Proto, one of the
heirs of the estate, residing here.
,Proto stated that his brother, Man
uel Proto on his return here several
months ago from Los Angeles, found
the settlers on the lands of the estate
and that they claimed protection un-
der the agrarian laws of Mexico. Since
that time until last week no action
was taken to force the so-called
"squatters" to vacate, Proto said.
Removal of the settlers followed Or
ders received by the military COM
mandant at Nogales Sonora, from
Mexico City. A battalion of federal
troops was sent to the ranch and
forcible election of the ranchers fol-
lowed. The settlers were sent TO the
interior of Mexico by the Mexican
government, Proto declared.

RANSOM PAID
FOR RELEASE
OF AMERICAN

NOGALES, Sept R)--The release
of Alfred Quin1by American rancher
of Tecomote, Nayarit, Mexico by
bandits who are reported to have kid
mapped him last Monday, was con-
tanned in dispatches to the Herald to-
day from Tepic, Nayarit, which stated
that friends of the rancher had made
final payment of 1000 pesos ransom
for Quimby's safe return.
Quimby is believed to have been
kidnapped during bandit raid near
Acaponeta, Nayarit, during which the
raiders sacked the village of Tecuala,
looting stores of merchandise and
terrorizing citizens of the community.
The bandits were said to have been
under the leadership of "El Pillaco,"
who is reported to have threatened
Quimby'S safety unless the demanded
ransom of 5000 pesos was promptly
met.
Military officials of Nogales, Sonora,
stated today that orders for the trans
fer of approximately 1000 federal
troops in Sonora to the state of Nay
arit for the purpose of combating the
bandits, was expected hourly from
Mexico City. Troop trains Out of Ca
jeme, military headquarters of So
nora, for the west coast have been
ordered according to reports reaching
Nogales.
Dispatches to the Herald today from
Mazatlan, Sinaloa, border state to
Nayarit, say that officials of the
Southern Pacific of Mexico railroad
have been in conference with the Nay
arit military commandant, General
Ambrosio Figueroa, relative to ade-
quate protection for west coast trains.
1t was reported in the dispatches that
the railroad had threatened to suspend
service until banditry in Nayarit is
successfully quelled

Wine Area Shrinking
As Earth GrOws Cold

PARIS, lP).-The earth is cooling
much faster than savants think, is
the conviction Of wine growing ex-
perts. AS evidence they point to the
fact that the area in which vines can
be grown to advantage is gradually
receding.
A century ago wine was made in
the north of France, and no longer
than 40 years ago there we're $4,000
acres of vineyards in full growth
around Paris. This area now is too
cold for growing wine grapes.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
MAKE YOUR OWN MORAL

MAKE YOUR OWN MORAL
The rattlesnake takes deep delight
In every form of hate and spite.
He can't be made to see the need
Of any good and kindly deed.
AS soon as he coils up to strike
He'll slash at friend or foe alike.
In fact the base and writhing creature
Has not sole redeeming feature.
But though his evil traits are known
and disapproved, he's let alone.
The sheep is gentle, meek and mild
AS is nicely brought up child.
Through pleasant meadows, day by day
He innocently goes his way, .
Takes absolutely no delight
In knavish prank or brawl or fight,
And never harbors any plan
To bring to ruin brute or man.
Yet, ere his life is half way through
He's served as chops and mutton stew.
know that ought not to fail
To find a moral for this tale.
But though 1 long have racked my mind
No proper moral can find.
