Mary Tappan Wright has written in
"The Tower" (Charles scribner's sons)
a readable story OF life in college
community. The events are concerned
with members OF the faculty. not OF the
students. and in this respect the tails
has an air of novelty and originality.
The heroine Is a charming and beauti-
full spinster lady Of some thirty-eight
seasons, her spinsterhood being attrl-
butable simply to the fact that the lover
OF her girlhood parted from her under
a misunderstanding, lie comes back soma
eighteen years later, with the opening OF
this story, as an instructor In the college.
Thereby hangs the tale. In two decades
the lovers love has 'somewhat cooled
and never appears to warm up greatly,
but there are wedding bells for all that.
There are number Of characters in the
story and they are generally we'll de-
Melted, and the collegiate background
makes an agreeable setting, percelty
pleasant and entertaining story. and on
the whole Il clear one. (Bell Book and

MARKETING Of
CROP DISCUSSED
BY COTTON USERS

Washington, May 2.--The general topic
OF discussion today by the international
conference of cotton growers and manu-
facturers was the marketing of the prod
uct which embraced the questions OF
warohousing. stability OF price and rela-
tions between growers and manufac-
turerF.
a. f. Calvin. president OF the Farmens'
Educational and Cooperative union, de-
clared that IL long had been the dream Of
the cotton grower to abolish all inter-
mediate agents who levy toll unneces-
sarily on the product on it's journey from
the field to the factory Direct relations
between the growers and manufacturers
were strongly urged A similar stand was
taken by Campbell Russell OF Indian Ter
ritory.
A proposition which met with soma
favor cu7T1u from T. w. tuvfs or Texas
who is urging direct relations with the
manufacturers suggested that the manu-
facturers deal with an agent OF the grow
ers at the warehouse.
The discussion then took a general turn
the English delegates expressing their
pleasure at the building of warehouses
instead OF warehousing cotton In the
fields
Further opposition TO the middleman n
came from w. S. Miller OF Texas and e
r. Smith Of Arkansas.
