Texas Legislature Passes Cotton Law BUI Designed To Cut 1932 Produc tion SO Per Cent Is Beady For Governor Austin, Tex., Sept. 21.? The Texas legislature enacted a cotton acre age reduction bill late today de signed to effect a 50 per cent cur tailment in the state's cotton plant ings in 1932 and 1933. The bill needed only, the signa ture of Gov. Ross S. Sterling to be come a law and that was regarded as assured. Each fanner would be prohibited from planting to cotton next year more than 30 per cent of the land he cultivated in. all crops this year. The same percentage b*fus would apply in 1933 with the additional provision that no 1932 cotton land could be planted to cotton in 1933. After 1933 there would be no per centage limit but no land could be planted to cotton in successive years. The bill, a compromise measiire, was adopted 19 to 10 by the senate and SO to 32 by the Jiouse Sunday School Class Hm Brunswick Stew Mr. R. L. Harris and his Sunday School class, of the Methodist church, enjoyed a stew at Loch Lily last Friday evening at 6:30.

Chances Are That Greensboro Man Soon Will Come Out For Morrison's Seat Washington. Sept. 21.? Senator and Mrs. J. W. Bailey were in Wash ington today, and spent a few hours looking the town over. The senator and Mrs. Bailey are house hunting, which leaves (the infer ence that the senator has little ap prehension on the score of being stopped at the door of the senate chamber by George M. Pritchard who is contesting his election. Among those who called upon Senator Bailey at his office today was Aubrey L. Brooks, of Greens boro, who attended that meeting of the American Bar Assoolatlon at Atlantic City, where the lawjters went on record against the dry laws. Long before that campaign was opened, or gentleman had made frankly political 'speeches, this bu reau announced that in all prob ability Mr. Bailey would enter the senatorial primary against Senator Bimmons. Mr. Bailey got his in spiration for subsequent action from the conviction that opposition to Mr. Simmons, by some party regu lar, was demanded as" a means of preserving the party's integrity, and in harmony wlth its principles and trafUUoDs. Mr. Brooks, moved by a kinded motive, or, as he seas the light, will in all probability chal lenge the return of Mr. Morrison to the senate. The candidacy of Mr. Brooks, given conditions pretty much as they exist today, may be rxpcetcd and the chances art' a formal announcement will not long be delayed.

Draper Red Cross. Nutritionist Eating today is a science as well as an art. Two thousand or so years ago it was considered only an art. Tlie result was many Epicureans in a race that has since died out. Knowledge has since transferred eating from the realm of the ornamental to that of the essential. The result is that Ameri cas nutritionists are "helping "to build a healthy nation of people that will long survive. Without proper food, this cannot be done. Food, of course. If the most im portant, U but one aspect of nu trition. There are other factors that contribute to it, such as tegu lar meals individually attractive, sunshine, fresh air, personal clean liness. dally exercise ? all with their excellent Influence on the bodily organism aiding digestion. But be tween food and health is a very definite and direct relation. The body Is like a machine. Unless each part is fed its own particular-form of nourishment, it cannot do its work. Onoe one part goes' wrong the whole runs badly. Many peo ple feel poorly from one cause and another and do not realize that they arc probably suffering because they have not attended to the all around needs of the human ma chine.

Pour Houses Will Take Care Of What Tobacco Comes This Way FARMERS NOT OPTO MISTIC OVER PRICES * On next Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock the Roxboro tobacco mar ket will hold Its first sale for this season. Four warehouses will toe open here again this season, aad will be run by the following firms: Pioneer Warehouse, C. H. Hunter, J. D. Perkins and J. A. Long; Hyco, by W. T. Pass and Geo. W. Walk er; W instead, by F. J. and Rk L. Hester, and the Planters, by R. A. Burch, Jr., and W. R. Wilkerson. Judging from the prices which are ruling on the other markets, and by the prices on die Georgia markets, there is little hope for anything like the average price for the past five years; in fact if the prices of .1929-30 pervail it looks like the farmers will be fortunate. The, prices for the past five years have been as follows: Year , " Per 100 lbs. 1926 $25.00 __ 1927 ' 22 JO 1928 19.20 1989 13.30 1930 13.00 ijb sicuauun nere u very guuu as far as buyers and warehouse men are concerned, (or practically all of the big companies will have buyers on the market, and there are some strong Independent buy ers who will stimulate it very much, and the" warehousemen are largely men of long experience in the to bacco business. Two of the houses, the Hyco and the Wlnstead, will r be run by the Same management as last year, while the Pioneer will have one of the best warehouse men in the State, Mr. Jule Perkins, who will have with him Mr. C. H. Hunter, one of the best known men in the County, to look after the in terest of the farmer, with Mr. J. A. Long as financial man of the firm. At the Planters will be found Mr. R. A. Burch, Jr., who, while new In the tobacco business Is recognized as one of our very beet young busi ness men, and associated with him is Mr W. R. Wilkerson. an old and experienced warehouseman. So, Mr. Parmer, you know fronf this list that you have friends in the tobacco business in Roxboro who will -take pleasure in seeing that you are not slighted when you bring your tobacco to Roxboro. You may not, and probably will no}, re ceive big prices, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you got the very best prioe possible, and that it was not because of the warehousemen that you received so little for your crop. o ?
