Saved Her Obild's Life-
•Mn three weeks our chubby little boy

"Roundabout," in the San An
tonio Express says the last meet
ing of the Interstate Compress
Association developed the fact
that the State of Texas has more
compresses than all the rest of
the United States. There are 84
compresses. He says further:
"The shortage of the cotton crop
will be realized from the follow-
ing figures: Last year for the
season ending May 1, they were
compressed in San Antonio 94,-
000 bales, at Austin 111,000 and
at Schulenburg 02,000. The sea-
son will end before May 1 this
year and the bales of cotton to
be compressed will be San An-
tonio 7,000, Austin 55,000 and
Schulenburg 31,000.

S. .J. Wilson has just sold six
bales of his l!MMi cotton crop
which he had been holding for
better price At one time he was
offered 8:20 around for the cot-
