bench by the Democrats to run for
mayor. Dever was elected in 1922 with
100,O00-vote margin over Arthur Lue-
ders, incumbent postmaster. His term
Of Office. 1c23-27, was sandwiched be-
tween the three terms Of Mayor VIII

ents, Dever was only a boy when the
necessity of aiding in the support o.
the family arose. Industry and frugal

selves apparent. He came to Chicago
IS years ago and formally entered poll
tics in 1902, when he was elected alder
man.
Ten years in the City Council wer
followed by election to the Superio
Court bench, to which he was twice re-

over which he presided were those o

SAN BENTTO. May A check OF
the cotton situation throughout the
Lower Rio Grande Valley reveals
that the crop Is In good shape, al

This opinion OF the cotton situ-

Mr.. Lomax also expressed the be-
lief that the acreage Is about Is per

Except for the acreage north Of

which has been infested with the
careless weed worm. the crop IS do

a large part Of the acreage that has

prospects good" Mr.. Lomax con-
tinued.
