CAPITOL THEATRE

Jesse James, an American Robin
Hood if ever there was one, has been
immortalized for the generations to
come in Fred Thomson's initial Par
amount starring vehicle "Jesse
James" which was shown at the
Capitol last night. According to the
thrilling story which Mr.. Thomson
has screened, James was to all in
tent, bounded by the law for deeds
he never committed. When he plum
dered, it was only to give to the
needy. If this be true, Americas
boyhood now has another idol to
worship.
And, talking Of idols, there does
MT seem to be anyone else on tho
screen who quite comes up to the
pedestal on which Thomson has been
enshrined by film fans. The Capitol

Record Cotton
Crop Seen In
Winacy In '2S

LYFORD. May 16.-The cotton
crop in Willacy has been saved by
the heavy rains Of the past two weeks
and prospects are daily becoming
brighter for a record crop, accord
ing 10 f. w. Archer, local realtor.
With proper conditions prevailing
there is no reason why this section
OF the Valley should not have the
greatest cotton crop in a long while,
Mr.. Archer says he has learned from
conversation with farmers of this
section since the rain.
Weeds and weevil are the big fac
tors which will have TO be battled
from this time forward, in the opin-
ion Of most growers Of Willacy, Mr..
Archer says. An abundance of rain
has fallen and indications are that
the weather will become warm
enough to cause the staple to shoot
ahead.
