VALLEY GETS
a DISTRICT
Austin Dispatch Announces
Re-Division Of
League

AUSTIN. Tex. Feb. 7.=F-Rep-
r~esentatives OF Fort Worth. san An
tonic. Dallas. GreenvilIe. Robstown,
Abilene. Clebtune and Waco high
schools we're before q university in
terScholastic league committee to-
day calling for q readjustment or
the new football districting system
by the league.
Roy Bedichek. director general Of
the University Interscholastic league,
said the number OF districts in the
league had been increased from
eight TO sixteen.
He said the schools were not pro-
testing against the increased num-
Der OF districts. but preferred to be
placed in other districts. He said
he did not expect the committee
to report until next week.
The above dispatch Is interpreted
10 mean that the interscholastic lea
que has been redistricted from eight
to sixteen districts. If this is the
case, the Lower Rio Grande Valley
has been granted an "A" district.
Harrington and Brownsville have
been striving for the organization Of
an "a district In the Valley for
some time. AT "a recent superlntend-
ent's meeting held at La Feria 1t
was found possible that six Valley
teams would enter such a district.
The advantage OF such a district
would be that the Valley season
will be played just as always has
been the case, but the Valley cham
pion will have the opportunity Of
going into the state championship
play-off.
Or. Roy Bedichek. director gen
eral of the interscholastic league,
vas In the Valley recently and de-
clared that this section would be
granted an "A district. Under the
proposed scheme. Valley teams
only, would be included in the dis
trict, cutting expenses to a mini
mum.
The following wire was received
from j. w. Irvine. director Of ath-
letics az Brownsville, who attend
ed the meeting:
Definite decision on all matters
withheld until next week but two
items Of interest to us are practically
assured and they are that the six
teen district plan will be carried out
and district sixteen will be made
up entirely Of Valley schools"

STOCKS MARK TIME
IN QUIET TRADING
Price Movement Slightly lr.
regular as Rallies Follow
Early Drops.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
cisl Disnatcb to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 9.-After q ses-
sion of irregular price fluctuations the
stock market left of slightly higher TO-
day. The significant thing was that
resistance developed TO the reaction
first of the week. Repeated attempts
by operators for the decline to unsettle
the list met with only temporary sue
cess.
Commodity markets were lower, the
decline in cotton now amounting to "a
a bale in two days. Wheat at one time
for July and September deliveries
reached the lowest levels since 1895.
German bonds were weak all day, al
though rallying slightly at the end. The
general bond market was fairly firm.
Stock made their best prices in the
last hour under short covering Among
the features was the buying in Drug,
Inc.
Sentiment in the Street inclined toward
the pessimistic view at the outset. 1t
was said that the situation in Germany
was much more serious than had been
realized and that there had been no i'm
provement in business on this side to
warrant any rise in stocks. Foreign
markets were depressed, but the foreign
news was more favorable. The weekly
report on carloadings showed a slightly
more than seasonal gain, but the COM
parison with year ago was still so
poor that the increase aroused no en-
thusiasm.
Discussion continued as to the action
of the United States Steel directors
at the dividend meeting on July %.
Opinion was divided as to whether
there would be a reduction at this
time or not. but in any case the re-
organized bear party made no secret
of the fact that they were offering
steel as well as numerous other indus
trial stocks. They seemed a little shy
of attacking the rails. pending events
in the consolidation field and the hear
ing on application for higher rates.
It was noticeable. however, that
stocks which for one reason or another
had good story were very steady.
General Motors held well, rejecting
its encouraging sales reports. Com
mercial solvents responded to reports
Of good business. There was buying Of
the shoe manufacturing stocks. includ-
ing Endicott johnson, which was said
to be operating at capacity. There
was no weakness in the oils notwith-
standing the cuts in crude and in gaso-
line. Much is hoped for from the extra
session of the Texas Legislature sched-
uled to convene on July IA.

SCOOPS COLUMN
Ye Poor Editor
By SCOOP-HIMSEI.F


1t is alleged that a schoolboy in
Kansas wrote the following, entitled
IAN Editor" (they can blame a lot
of things on Kansas:
, 81 don't know how newspapers and
magazines got into the world, and l
don't think anyone else knows, for
there is nothin' said in the Bible about
them. think the editor is the miss
ing link we read of and that he stayed
in the business until after the flood,
came out and wrote the thing UP, and
has been kept busy ever since.
eff the editor makes a mistake,
everybody knows it and say he ought
to be hung, but if the doctor makes
mistakes he buries them and people
don't say nothing because they can't
read Latin.
"When the editor makes mistake
there is big law suit and swearing
and big fuss, but if the doctor makes
one there is funeral with flowers
and perfect silence. A doctor can use
a word a mile long without him or
anyone else knowing what it means,
but if the editor uses one, he has to
spell it.
eff the doctor goes to see another
mans wife he charges for the visit,
but if the editor goes, he gets charge
of buckshot. Any college can make
doctors to order but an editor has to
be born"
Poor old Betty Dawson (alias Joe
Spivis, alias one of the Gold Dust
twins of Harned's Drug Store) got
laid up this past week when he tried
to life hefty box of mortar, or some
thin or other, and his foot slipped.
Bet says he didn't know there were
so many muscles in ones back that
could be strained, but he must have
reached them all. No muscles, how
ever, seem to be strained which might
impede his speech.
Since Sunday he has been taking
sight seeing trips in McIntire's Pack
ard three times a day.
A Good Argument
The Farmers Guide Magazine has
given an excellent argument for pay
ing up ones subscription to the county
papers instead of borrowing from one
who has paid. 1t says:
"a farmer, who thought he would
save on the subscription price, sent
his son over to the neighbours to bor-
row the Guide. In his haste the boy
ran over a 81 stand of bees and in
ten minutes he looked like warty
summers quash. His cries reached
his father, who ran to his assistance
and failing to notice barbed wire
fence, ran into it, breaking it down,
cutting a handful of flesh from his
anatomy and running a SIS pair of
pants.
"The old cow took advantage of the
gap in the fence, got into the corn
field and killed herself eating green
corn. Hearing the racket, the moth
er ran, upset four-gallon churn Of
cream into basket of kittens, drown
ing the entire litter. In her haste
she dropped and broke, beyond all
hope of mending, a $95 set of false
teeth.
"The baby left alone, crawled thro
the cream and into the parlor, ruin
ing a $40 rug. During the excitement
the eldest daughter ran away with the
hired man, the dog broke up eleven
setting hens nests and the calves got
out and chewed the tails off of four
fine shirts. All to save a dollar"

pen to some of you, you had better
