The order ha: many followers, it is understood, ii renjjote villages of this state. A1 j though supposed to be dying out the order still attracts wide attentioi because of its mysterious cereraonie: which Americans seldom are able t< witness. . The principles and practices of th< ordef are said to have come fron Italy thr&ugh Spain and Mexico. ^ast Friday was one of the ran occasions, according to the two art ists, when Americans were permittee to witness the most solemn ceremon ies performed by the Penitentes. "When the Penitentes form in i long procession," said Mr. Norfeldt they "march to slow weird music" ant beat themselves with thorn whip) soaked in brine water to wounc themselves and make then: woundi smart. One man parried sa larg< wooden cross, under the weight o: which he fell exhausted frequently The procession ended with the erec tion of two crosses with members o: the order tied to them."

Farmers a* * marketing1 through the organization will do so under a strict contract which will prevent them from mak ing any sale themselves. Texas fanners have agreed to market 1,000,000 bales of this year's crop through the state market orga nization. Mississippi delta farmers have agreed to-market 100,000 bales by that system. Oklahoma farmers have signed over 200,000 bales. The south lon? has .suffered through lack of such an organiza tion, as1 the farmers, making jjheir own sales, have always flooded the matket with cotton at picking time. i.
