Ivy - 49,
Looks as If much money will change
hands on real estate within the
next few months.
Now If someone will kindly find
a Stimulant for the price Of cotton
how much better things will look.
The cotton cooperative ~associa-
lions may do II. New England
eventually must have our cotton.
Cannot all the cotton say we can
not afford to sell at the present
prices? We will Just have to keep
it," Then the spinners will have to
come and get it. Merchants name
the prices at which they can sell
goods, but the cotton growers let
the buyers name his price. That
is why the cotton grover rarely
knows where he stands.
GENERAL Charles p. Summerall
In commended Fort Brown Off
GERS on conditions as he found
them at the post. II we remem-
Der anything about military life
that means the Brownsville post
is up to snuff or more ways than
one. Col. Van Voorhis and his
officers are to be commended by
the tOWnSfOlk as well.
Then Gen. Summerall said IL is
planned to build the present quar-
tiers into something much better.
From what the engineer OF this
column could gather from his
statements the buga-boo of clos
ing border forts Is now a thing Of
the past. II never was very much
but a political guild to chew. Never
the less il cast some little fear into
border towns OF which they are
glad to be rid.
JACK RUTLEDGE. who inter-
viewed Gen. Summerall. said
he was one of the most pleas
PM men Tor a newspaper man TO
INJECT. Seemed to know what was
happening and how to do it right.
Newspaper men ever find that the
bigger a a in any walk of life
the better he receives the report
erS.
Once in a while a supposedly big
man seems to think newspaper peo-
pie are prying into his affairs. II
is awful little the newspaper people
care about such a person. They
are merely asking TO let the pub
lie know how its own affairs are
being handled. In America Mr..
John j.. Public a let a public Of
fetal live oS he can cut off his Of
fetal head. Which makes for de-
mocracy against ~autocracy.
nALPH SANDERS OF San Benito
m has reached Kennedy. Texas,
riding the bull he left on SO
many weeks ago. Sanders might
be classified as the 1880 Job.
Animated Annie Says she never
depends on bull to get her any
where.
Dark clouds today give promise
OF rain before this daily spasm
can be translated into ink.
Both the farming sections OF the
Valley and the golf courses need
rain. According TO present day
street talk one would gather that
one need is about as important as
the other.
Rain closes up the cracks in the
earth in the fairways and keeps
the ball from rolling into them.
but then ii makes the weeds grow
higher in the rough. So one may
judge from the rain pleas the class
OF golfer talking.
