AIDED by Rain
Good Crop to Assure
Financial Condi-
ton of Valley


MERCEDES, June 13.-Cotton in
and around this part Of the Valley,
and probably cotton throughout the
entire Valley section, was not dam
aged, but has actually ben benefit
ed BY the recent rains, according to
W. N. Coe Jr., produce dealer OF this
city.
Mr.. Coe said that several features
Of the cotton crop this year prom
ise to bring about better results
than rsual, one being the slow APP
pearance Of the weevil.
Zone would think that there would
be a heavy outbreak of weevil in
festation, but this has not been
found to be the case" he said. "The
weevils are appearing on the scene
very slowly"
He also said that this year the
farmers Of the Valley own consid-
erably more than so per cent of the
cotton, which Is an entire reversal
from last year, when they owned
less than 20 per cent.
There has been very little bor-
rowing of money on cotton in the
Valley thi- year., because the truck

and a fairly good crop. which seems
almost certain now, will mean that
farmers will be in a pretty stable
condition at the end OF the cotton
season"
Mr.. Coe expressed the belief that
the Valleys produce this year
brought nearer $4,000, 900 than S.
100000, which as been estimated IN
some sections. He said that the
total return from the 10000 and
more cars would probably be around
S7,500,000 or $4,000, 900.
The truck season was not as bad
as some people would make il seem.
On the whole the prices were pretty
good. and the yield was unusually
large

claring the republican party would
not shirk its responsibility toward
agriculture, Senator Moses Of New
Hampshire. as permanent chairman
Of the national convention, told the
assembly today that the party would
enter the campaign lin no posture Of
defense"
I'VE come up on the field aggres-
siyely militant" he said. 1--WE intend
to cary this fight TO the enemy. And
we challenge them to bring forth
their strongest champion.
The honor which you have con-
ferred upon me is very great" the
chairman began, "and l thank you for
il. The duties which your gener-
Gus actions lays upon me may prove
to be difficult; but | hope to be able
to perform them satisfactorily.
W come now to the central and
most important tasks for which we
are assembled. First, we are to
formulate a declaration of principles
which will embody the essentials of
republicanism and with which we
shall submit our cause 20 the people.
In Sympathy With Farmers
Inevitably. in a party thoroughly
national in its vision and contact as
ours is. there will from time to time
arise differences Of opinion. This is
by no means occasion when repub-
licans have found themselves at odds
regarding a question Of cardinal ron
sequence as affecting party policy.
Heretofore, we have succeeded always
in settling our difficulties within our
own ranks through that wise spirit
Of accommodation which must char
acterize a great and far flung or
g~anization like ours, upon which de-
Ponds so much for the advance and
prosperity Of our country. So il will
be now.
"No one can doubt the essential
sympathy with which the republican
party has always looked upon the
great and diverse interests which
make up the fabric Of our national
existence. This sympathetic view
point has not changed. Agriculture
and industry and the social order
continue to he the prime objects OF
our solicitude. and in dealing with
them the republican party will not
shirk its responsibility.
we shall. however. now as always,
chart our course within the limits
Of the constitution and within the
operation Of sound economic law.
Predicts Victory
Half a century ago the republican
marty stood firm against initiation
through an intimidated issue OF
paper money-and the people stood
with US then.

party stood firm against a debsse-

CONSTIPATION
CAUSES
TROUBLE
But there's a way to
safe relief

It's so easy to become constipated
these days-what with soft food,
lack of exercise, modern rush and
hurry. So easy, indeed, that many
of the worst sufferers don't even
realize what's the trouble with them.
They go through lifc-half-way
sick, halfway tired. From time to
time, they resort to drugs and pills.
But these afford no more than tenn
porary relief. Often enough, they
only increase the trouble.
Headaches, sleeplessness, back
aches, sallow cheeks, fading hair
these are all symptoms of this wide
spread affection. Sooner or later it
leads to serious disease. Stop
dangerous constipation! Stop habit
forming drugs! Kellogg's ALL
BRAN points the way to natural
relief. Two tablespoonfuls daily
chronic cases, with every meal-are
guaranteed to relieve constipation.
Doctors recommend ALL-BRAN
because it is 1000 bran = 1000
effective. A health cereal to serve
with milk or cream - fruits or
honey added. Sprinkle into soups:
Sold by all grocers. Made by
Kellogg in Battle Greek.
