It was interesting to watch the crowds go by and observe the expressions on the faces of the persons as they dropped an occasional nickel or penny in the cup. The blind man was a good salesman. He knew psychology. For one thing, he was careful to see that too many ecins did not congregate in the cup. Prosperity is not conducive to donations.

His motto was clear the cup often. He promptly declared dividends when dividends were declarable. Also, one or two, pennies and probably one nickel in the cup. encourages people. They signify the "ice broken" or "others have donated, so why not you?" The blind man took care of that item, also.

Of course, an oversight of the latter practice is not so serious. An empty cup is not so bad- -but, according to the experts at alms asking, "don't ever let too much ey collect in your cup!" I.

Other fans will be kept on the other side of the field, and thus will be able to hear the band better and watch the performance of the pep squad.

Reaching from one. 40-yard line to another, they will be seven tiers high and will have plenty of room for the feet of those occupying the seats.

The score board, which has to be moved to make way for the new seats, will be stationed at the end of the field. A small press box also will be erected on top of the new stands, thus giving local and visiting sports writers a suitable location for observing the game and taking their notes for the first time in the history of the high school.

ACCA Is Denied Right To Aid In Cotton Payments The American Cotton Cooperative Association and its affiliated cooperative associations will not be permitted to make the cotton adjustment payments as recently approved by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration subject to the approval of Comptroller General McCarl. He has rendered a decision that the Secretary of must pay the cotton adjustment payments direct to the cotton producer. Coincident with the announcement of the 10-cent loan on cotton produced this year the AAA announced a cotton adjustment payment to all producers, to the extent of their Bankhead allotment, a maximum of 2 cents per pound, the exact amount being determined as of the date of sale on the difference between 12 cents and the average quotations of the ten designated spot markets on middling 7-8 inch cotton. It was later announced by the AAA that adjustment payments would be made after December 15 on cotton sold prior to December on April 15 on cotton sold prior to April 1, and on August 15 on cotton sold prior to August 1. ACCA and its member associations promptly requested Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, and AAA administrater Davis, to permit the cooperatives to render a service to cotton producers by the prompt payment of the adjustment at the time of delivery of their cotton.

ACCA was prepared to handle promptly at no expense to the producer -the cotton price adjustment payments, which on today's market amount to approximately $7.50 per bale. ACCA has today been in touch with officials of the AAA insisting that arrangements be made to inimediately, establish their state offices and begin at once to make cotton adjustment payments to all producers. The matter also has been discussed with Senator Bankhead Alabama, who realizes the necessity of prompt payment by the Secretary of Agriculture to all producers, and has consented to join with the ACCA and take the lead in the accomplishment of this program. With the aggressive support of Senator Bankhead, and with the known desire of officials of the AAA to help the producer in every way consistent, it is believed arrangements will be made to make these price adjustments at a considerably earlier date than announced.

Wallace, member of the state board of control, said Saturday. The board of control, serving as the state relief commission, was facing the prospect of virtually closing down its far-flung organization next week, when a telegram was received Saturday from the FERA announcing that $1,: 000,000 will' be forthcoming for October. This, added to $400,000 of state bond money budgeted for the month, which is restricted to unemployables, will make a total of $1,400,000 to be distributed among some. 700,000 needy Texans," after deducting a considerable amount for administration. "I estimate that it will afford not more than $2 per person at the most," said Mr.

Wallace. "Overhead expenses will be unusually high, for the federal government will require us to provide a large force to transfer persons from relief rolls to works progress rolls." Heretofore the FERA has given Texas four and five million a month, but. in September it advanced only $650,000, and the relief commission has exhausted all surplus funds. During August and September it gave an average of $11.50 per family to people on the relief rolls. In addition, the federal goyernment has distributed vast quantities of surplus commodities, which will' not be continued, according to Mr.

Wallace. For lack of funds, all unfinished state work relief projects were ordered closed Thursday and about 27,000 jobs were suspended. The state relief commission will be unable to renew these projects with the meager amount of money available. NOTICE! NOTICE!

Very sheer wine colored hose worn with wine shoes and wine colored costume would be most effective with grey or blue gloves and bag rather than a complete 'matched' costume.
