shall be very particular, however,
concerning the persons from whom
we accept donations. One man may
give $4,000 purely in the interests
of good government, and another

Consequently, it would be foolish to
limit the size Of a mans contribution.

"The amount subscribed is not a
fair measure Of the character Of q

Judged By the character and stand

No government estimate of the

Until next month. Many private

Moved To Ports
Next month much of the ginned
and baled cotton of the state will be
moved to Gulf of Mexico ports where
the 50o-pound bales will be loaded
aboard ships. Some of ii will go to
foreign ports, and the rest to At

Texas ports have increased their

While the Grooming Negro cotton

Of Texas, where more than a third
of Americas cotton crop is grown.
eagerly watch the factors that will
determine cotton prices this fall.
Upon the shoulders of old king
cotton rests in a large measure the
prosperity Of the state in coming
months. A short crop means 90 to
2oc pound and a large crop
means lower price.
1t is tradition in the south that
the year following an area of good
cotton prices will see the cotton
acreage greatly increased. The ip-
creased acreage invariably brings un
profitable prices. The present year
Is no exception. Cotton prices Were
good last fall. As result, the lat
est government acreage report show
the Texas cotton acreage nine per
cent above that of last year. The
same situation holds true in all
other cotton growing states.
( Well Under Way
| In South Texas, cotton picking
and ginning is we'll under way.
Thousands of Mexican pickers are
being imported. Travelling afoot. in
rickety old cars and in carts drawn
by flea bitten burros. they make
their way to the plantations.
Early next month the plantations

lflossy white pods from thousands of

lieves Gene will win by knockout.
How he will win. however, no one
is agreed upon.
Johnny Doolin, manager of Harold
Mays. Tunney's principal sparrine
partner. believes the champion will
wear Heeney down with terrific body
punches in the first six rounds and
then stop the challenger with a
right to the jaw.
Tunney's right fist is the one that
carries the dynamite. 1t is almost
safe to say that Heeney has never
faced a man who can hit as hard as
the new Tunney is hitting.
The champions increased hitting
power may be traced to stronge,
hands.
For the first time since l began

My hands are strong enough tc
withstand the power of my punches
If I land solid punch against the
contender-runches such as have

Richard, Billy Gibson, Bernard Ginl-

Bill Winston, pilot Of the Inflated
F'airchild plane which crashed here

the scene of his battle. Gibson has
demanded that the plane be thor
oughly tested before making THE
flight here this afternoon. and that
a trial flight be made before Tun-
ney takes hts seat.
The o00-mile journey is expected
TO take two and a half hours. The
