ANOTHER AMERICAN
TRAGEDY

The great popular novelist had
come to the browning effort of his
career. He was going to give to
the world book Of burning love
that would live forever.
On little tropical island, far
from the paths of ships and the
haunts of men, he had built a lit
tie cabin and stocked it with pro-
visions. Here, in a paradise .of
flowers and sunshine, he would
obtain that blissful state of seclu-
sion so necessary to sustained
creative thought. The novel was
going to be wow. 4ss..-
Far away on the horizon rapid
ly disappearing trail of smoke
marked the departure of the ship
which had brought him to his hav-
en- of solitude. He watched it until
it had vanished. 1t would not re-
turn for six months.
Lovingly he unpacked the new
typewriter he had brought along,
inserted a clean sheet of paper
and plunged into his task. For sew
eral moments there was no sound
in that vast stiffness save the clat-
ter of the keys. T.
s, Suddenly that stopped. A look
of horror came into his eyes. The
color fled from his face. He slump
ed forward in his folding chair and
groaned.
After a time he arose and walk
ed unsteadily to the brow of a
nearby cliff. Far, far below he
could see the waves breaking mad
ly against the foot Of the precipice
and the fins of sharks circling in
the blue waters. He clenched his
fists. 1t was the only way out.
Shuddering he returned to his
typewriter and for some moments
searched frantically about the key

OPERETTA CAST

The operetta cast has been chos-
en-. The long anticipated event has
taken place! After much delibera-
ton and many try-outs the final
returns were posted on the bulle-
tin board last Tuesday. There are
thirteen principals and a chorus of
forty boys and girls.
The leading roles are taken by
two of the schools best singers,
Jane Wooden, of Pickles fame, and
Ed Speigle. They are ably support
ed by Harold Nelson, the bride
seeking English nobleman, Wilson
Preston, a typically wealthy Jew,

board. Alas! The search was fruit
less. Sobbing, he tied the heavy IN
strument to his necktie.
Thus encountered, he staggered
back to the cliffs edge. Then with
a wild scream of despair he plung-
ed outward and downward to the
waiting sharks.
Some nitwit in the typewriter
factory had forgotten to put the
asterisk on the machine. -

COTTON CROP
IS DAMAGED
Terrell Estimates Loss AT
Is Per Cent To Texas
Farmers

AUSTIN, Aug. 5. Up Damage
to the cotton crop in central. east
and north Texas as a result OF the
prolonged drought was estimated
today by George B. Terrell. commits
sioner Of agriculture. TO be at least
rs per cent Of the crop. with some
estimates as high a IS per cent.
Terrell said the crop would not run
over 4,000, 900 bales, with the normal
production around 5,000.0 600 bales.
Most Of the damage, he said was
confined to the early crop which
is shedding badly from drought as
far as Tyler. The hot sun has caus-
ed the bolis to open prematurely
with the result that numerous bios
SONS are shriveling up IN the in
tense heat and falling to the
ground. IN several instances fields
will be a total loss unless there are
heavy rains soon. Terrell said.
He estimated that 40 per cent OF
the cotton was late and could be
saved by rain within q week or ten
days.
The worst hit section. ne SAID
was in the redlands Of east Texas
most Of the crop in the extreme
southern counties had been picked
and farmers were reported working
overtime TO get 1t out Of the burn
ing sun Practically all the cotton
In Cameron. Nueces. Willacy and
Hidalgo counties has been picked
and other counties reported rapid
progress.
The late corn crop was hard hit
but all the early corn was in good
condition. approximately 20 pei
cent OF the entire crop was esti-
mated to be late corn. and most OF
It will be worthless. Terrell said,
the drought retarding its growth "a
maturity and causing it to shrivel.
Extensive damage 10 grain S0r-
ghum in west and northwest Tex
as was reported. Most OF the early
crop was made before the drought
and the damage has been restricte,
to late paintings. However the late
sorghum crop will be considerably
below normal. Terrell said.
No damage was reported from the
rice regions and the Valley regions
reported no water shortage.
