Six Counties Coming
Six counties have notified Director
Shelton of their intentions of coming
the county championship -prelimin-i
. aries having been played in order for
the county to he represented hede.
Three other counties are yet to be
heard from and because' of this lack
'f of interest it is thought that this1 trio
x of county champions will not be jjres-
. ent.
LBrowiwBod will represent Brown
counytUnthe 'tournament Comanche
coanty will send Gustine as its chaiu-
ion. The quintet from Toss will en-
teF'the'tonrhanient as a representa-JL-.tive
of Coleman. Jtfflls county will
have Star to boost as a- contender.
The bunch from Richland. Springs has
San Saba county behind them strong.
Rochelle will for the fifth straight
year come to the meet clad in the
colors of McCnllbch coftnty. Menard
Kimble and Mason counties all in
southern part of the district have not
yet been heard from. It is -not
thought 4that these counties will send
representatives
The official drawing to determine
the first players wfll take place in
the gymnasium at 10 o'clock toxnor-L
row morning. ine urat uuuieti i
be played thirty minutes after that
time. It is probable that only one
game wHl be played Friday mornin g
It is undecided whether a couple or
three games will be played during the
afternoon. Then about the same num-
ber of games will be played Saturday
with the final championship game
scheduled to come off at 7 o'clock Sat-
urday night.
Brownwood High school looms aE a
strong candidate to take away the
honor or attending the state meet at
Austin. There will be some stiff com-
petition however when the -Gustine
bunch come on. the floor. They have
won the county championship for two
straight years and are liable to make
it just plenty hot for some of the oth-
ers. In the Rochelle club though
one is likely to see more light than
in the majority of the others. This
is the fifth year this McCulloch coun
ty delegation has won the county meet
and the right to try out in the finals
Jn the district Then too adding a
little doiie the Rochelle five nosed out

scant margin .of tour or five points
By the use of dope which is far
more accurate in "basket ball than in
football Brownwood High school has
it over All the others by far having
defeated Rochelle 20 - 10 in a tight
game. Voss may be a dark horse in
the race in making its initial appear-
. ance in a district race. They have
some real good goal tossers it has
been learned.
Three of the visiting county cham-
pionship clubs it Is noticed are coach-
ed by former Howard Payne students.
J. D. Conner is the member of the
Rochelle five Ben Featherstone coach
- of the Voss five and Tom Renfro boss
of the delegation which will represent
Star.
The visiting athletes are being en-
tertained by Howard Payne college.
Some of the boys will stay in the boys
dormitory at the College. A college
basket ball contest wllliid in their
entertainment here tonight and tomor-
row night when Howard Payne bucks
against Abilene Christian college in
" rnunlc of games. The games re

for the members of the club.

well attended.

EXPECTED. SAYS COOLIDGE.
(By Associated Press.)
. WASHINGTON Feb 7. A hope
that 'every encouragement" will be
given tlie co-operative markfiUing
movement: was expressed today by
President Coolidge in a message to
the national council of Farmers' Co-
operative -Marketing Associations in
the opening session of a three day
meeting here.
The president added there also was
a. need for organization of urban
consumers "to give like benefits" and
declared a close working arrange-
ment between these two groups is
the ideal toward which present eco-
nomic efforts should be directed.
VI have. many times declared' my
conviction that the development of a
powerful co-operative movement in
this country is one of the needs of
this period of economic readjust-
ment" said 4he president. ''Much has
been accomplished along this line
in many American communities but
it-cannot be said that the co-operative
idea has found a very firm
lodgment in th actual practice of
the great majority of the American
people. Yet the example of its adr
vantages sot before us in this coun-
try a personal and an Impressive
one cannot but wish every encour-
agement may be extended to such or-
ganizations like your own which are
seeking to establish a national co-
operative purposes and spirit. "Es-
pecially in regard to agriculture
when we consider how high a price
the consumer pays. In proportion to
the price the producer receives we
cannot but feed here is a great op-
portunity for service to both the
consuming and producing groups of
the public.
"We are all included in one or the
other of these groups and most of
us iniboth of them. In the long r.un
we will all be bettered if we can les-
sen the? burdensome cost of conveying
our 4 necessaries from th) producer
io the consumer.'

ST PROHIBITION OF.

CONSTITUTIONAL A 31 K N O M KXT
WOULD PERMIT GOVERNMENT;
TO TAX SECURITIES.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON Fob. 7. Tho house
today began consideration of the con-
stitutional amendment to prohibit the
issuance of tax-exempt securities a
feature of tho tax revision suggested
by Secretary Mellon while the house
ways and means committee had before
it for formal ratification the new Reve-
nue bill which includes a new sched-
ule of tax rates and a provision to cut
1923 income taxes payable this year
by 25 per cent.
Eight hours of debate was allowed
for the amendment resolution under a
special rule adopted by the rules com-
mittee and a vote on the measure will
not be reached until tomorrdw.
Determined opposition. largely from
the democrats developed against the
resolution which was adopted by the
house last year but was not voted
upon in the senate. In View of this
proponents of tho amendment includ-
ing Representative Green republican
Iowa its authors were apprehensive of
Its success two-third vote being ne-
cessary for passage.
Tho resolution in effort grants tho
federal government power to tax
state and municipal securities and
would likewise permit city and state
govemmenls to tax federal securities.
Secretary Mellon has estimated that
about $11000000000 is invested in
state and municipal securities which
cannot be taxed by the government.
The revenue bill as placed before
the whole committee today included
practically all of tho major provisions
recommended by .Secretary Mellon. All
of the income tax ratesxproposed by
the treasury werc placed in the bill
by republican members meeting in
private. They had agreed to support
these rates today as a unit thus assur-
ing favorable report of the bill in the
face of solid democratic opposition
which has held out for lower normal
income tax rates and higher surtaxes
than favored by the treasury.
Opening the debate oh the constitu-
tional amendment against the tax
free securities Chairman Snoll of the
rules committee urged passage of
the resolution which would require a
two-thirds vote. Ho pointed out that
the federal government is now los-
ing" incom from approximately 511.-
000.000000 invested In tax free mun-
icipal county and state bonds.
Representative Pou North Qarolo-
nat ranking democrat on the ru.lt s
committee attacked the measure on
the ground that It invaded state's
rights. He said the legislation was
'loaded with destruction for the ag-.
ricultural communities."
