FIRST BALE TO

~ ~
SAN BENITO. June 8-The fact
that the Houston Cotton exchange
will not bid for the first bale or
1929 cotton in the world is taken
IN this section as merely an indi-
cation that the first bale Will move
10 Dallas. New Orleans or some
other cotton center, instead Of HOus-
ton.
That IS. Il has taken none az the
edge off the battle for first bale.
At this time several different sec

and within three or four days the
first bale is expected 10 move. Mis-
sion. which city has struggled for

" only TO be defeated in the last
few minutes, is reported as having
some cotton already ginned.
Large acTeages in the dry land
sections are about ready 70 pick.
and several farmers in this section
will start picking some time next
week.
The first bale may even move
BY airplane. now that there are
planes in the Valley large enough

1.-The Houston exchange has taken
the stand that the frs. bale should
be the beginning Of the season. The
case is not 50 at present. as the
season usually does not really open
for a month after the first few bales
move. Hence the first bale has lost

Methods of Escaping
/ From Tornado's GRASP

: tt old time "cyclone cellar" or
outdoor cave has probably been the
means Of saving more lives from tor
nadoes than anything else and is still
one Of the best places of refuge ever
contrived. The southwest corner Of
THE basement of frame house is al
most as safe, especially if person
crouches close against the wall. Tor
nadoes nearly always approach from
the south or west and flying debris or
perhaps the house itself will be car
ried away from the southwest corner.
The basement Of a brick or stone
house is liable to be death trap in
q tornado, as brick or masonry walls
are liable to collapse and tumble down
anywhere.
| A person caught in the open when
tornado approaches has a choice
of lying down fiat in a depression
or Of flight. Tornadoes travel across
the country at rate of thirty to-
sixty miles per hour, usually, and
escape for a person in an automobile
is simple If there are highways open.
A person on foot directly in the path
of such storm should run toward
the northwest, which is at right
angles to the storm path and toward
the side where the winds are least
violent.-Kansas City Times.

Their Lifetime Spent
in Clustered Silence

Cowled men who never speak, but
use the primitive language Of signs,
who never see a woman nor worry
about civilization, who work laborious-
ly with their hands from a. m. until
their bedtime at z p. m.! Such are
the monks of Mount Melleray, the
famous monastery in the Knockmele-
down Ureland) mountains.
Almost hundred of them, priests
and laymen, live in a tiny medieval
world of their own, chiefly doing farm
work and stock rearing.
Many are the strange stories told
of Mount Melleray. A Dublin doctor
who visited the monastery for a few
days never came out again, but as
sumed the cowl and habit Of the
monks.
Stranger still-such is the silence,
secrecy and disinterestedness Of the
monks-an old priest on his deathbed
sent for confessor, and discovered
that the priest who came was his
brother. They had lived together in
the monastery for years without sus-
pecting each others identity.-London
Tit-Bits.

Englishman First With
Idea of Artificial Silk

Most of the credit for the idea Of
manufacturing artificial silk goes to
France, and the honor has usually
been given to Reaumur, a French
naturalist. Actually, the first known
suggestion was made by an English
man, DR.. Robert Hook. In 1864 he
published book, "Micrographia," in
which he described a microscopic ex-
animation of real silk, and suggested
the possibility of producing a similar
thread by mechanical means. The
first machine to produce an artifci
thread was made In England. In 1874
Mr.. Louis Schwabe took out the fir
patent and erected his machine. ed
bodying spinnerettes, in Manchestel
but the product failed to attract and
Schwabe committed suicide three years
later. Today the spinnerette is in full
use, and f135,0O0,0OO is invested In the
industry in England alone.

Platinum's Many Uaes

I Ii addition to It's fashionable duties

little-known but necessary services to

Egotism of Conquerors
Helpful to Historian

How much of the history of the
past has been culled from inscriptions
cut in towering rock faces, on temple
walls and obelisks, is but little real
lied. Outlines, tits true, the name is
secondary to other matter, as in the
edicts Of Asoka. But many of these
ancient inscriptions were the outcome
of pure egotism, as where conquer
or vaingloriously recounted his mill
tary triumphs and depicted on gar
gantuan scale his prisoners and spoils.
Shapur, the Persian skiing Of Kings"
had his victory over the unfortunate
Roman emperor, Valerian, commence
rated by vast relief upon cliff near
Persepolis, wherein the emperor is
seen in suppliant attitude before his
conqueror. In the worst Of taste, such
overweening pride, but most helpful
to the historian!
Upon the great rock of Behistun, a
hundred feet above the caravan road
from Persia to the west, Darius l, well
nigh six centuries before, caused his
name and exploits to be carved in
three different languages, whereby the
spread Of his repute might be en-
sured. And in 80 doing he provided
the archeologist Rawlinson with the
clues to the dead languages Of Sumer
and Babylonia.
