Colbn Wrapping All authorities agree that new uses must be found for cotton if American farmers are to find it profitable to maintain an annual acreage of 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 acres. The cotton industry ought to lead the way. Adoption of cotton wrapping instead of jute for cotton bales would provide an immediate market for a tremendous amount of cotton, materially relieving the pressure from the present huge surplus, and it would also serve the possibly more important purpose 'of dramatizing and emphasizing the cotton industry's determination to do everything in its power to solve its problem. Cotton wrapping would cost a few per bale more than the jute that is now generally used.

But the extra money and a good deal more would go right back into the pockets of Am- cotton growers, instead of beiiiR sent to India or elsewhere to pay for jute. Furthermore the cotton wrapper provide better protection for the than does the jute, and its ligh- 'ter weight would effect some saving oii charges. Most important of all, however, is fact that it would reflect a col- ton consciousness that is highly sirsblo in all communities thai are chiefly dependent upon the commodity their' cash income. tt" would be good business, and A splendid lUiycrtisement for Missfssip- prcounty, if this county could take the in the uniform adoption of the cotton wrapping.

1931 Fall And Prison If a jury of the people as a whole were to -sit in the case of Albert B. Fall, former secretary of. the interior, would it i require the aging, dying man to pay the penally 'imposed ujwn him for his part in the Teapot Dome affair? This question rises in many minds as it becomes apparent that only executive clemency can save him from spending a year in prison. The line posed upon hini the government cun- not because Fall has nothing. Were the public disposed to show the suffering-old man mercy, it would probably be due in large part to lhal trav- OUT OUR WAY esty of justice which freed the two rich conspirators who paid the bribe while convicting the templed public official.

Under our criminal code the giver and receiver a bribe'are equally culpable. But the Fall case now stands on its own merits. If sending him to probably to die deter others from betraying public trusts, or would exert a reformative influence upon the malefactor, then the sentence should be served. But the former secretary of the interior will not live long enough to sin again and it is doubtful if punishing Fall will have deterrent effect upon others in who.se minds the acquittal of Sinclair and Doheny is still fresh.

Soon after the store was built this fiirslghteit man set out to get a poslofllcc. Op to this date the town Imil been unnamed. The naming of the town was quite a romantic occasion as Mrs. Waller had read (he name "Luxora," In the book, "The pillar of Fire" and was so attracted by Its oddity she named her little daughter by that name- The town was named "Luxora" in her honor.
