They are: First, one to classify property for taxation. Property may now be valued according -to its worth in pioney, and the Amendment is an' excuse to collect more taxes'. The other Amendment is to increase the number Supreme Court judges from five to seven. We have had a court of five jitetlces' for a tong time. Nobody has conipieined at the work of the Supremo Cowt. if it has been g-ood enough for many years, it will continue satisfactory no doubt. Let well enough alone. Why tols Supreme court item of expenses? Do not be satisfied with passing over these amendments, VOTE against them. If all you have to sell will not bring enough to pay your debts.

For he often devotes aS much of the day to the' oirllng of a Up as to bis 980-acre farm-cotton, melons, fish pools and aU. It aU icame about this way. Some years ago Mr. Covington, owned a vacknt loit down town that was pretty much ot an eyesore^ To enhance Its beauty he' built a pic turesque Uttie log cabin on U and. to make the job as rustic as pob- sihlev put a pig pen to the iback- ground.

This was the work that particu larly interested Lorado Taft, noted American sculptor, author and art ist. “Tell Me 'More/’ Mr. Taft wrote In a letter to iMr..vCo-rington, “espe cially ot 'The. little Girl at -the ‘f 9A...

Nobody seems to care if it does. What are cotton growers to do whose cotton was ruined by rain, eaten by wee vils, so they came out in debt in 1929.. Three-fourths of all the clothing worn by the iieople of 'the world is made of cotton, even It the women are now wearing more silk than they used to. ^ Tobacco is neither food nor clothing—it’s just a nuisance people have taken up with, and any- 'body can get along if there is no tobacco at all.
