ROEDEL TELLS
 A GOOD ONE

Otto Roedel, the popular chief clerk at the Hotel Jefferson, tells good stories sometimes. This morn ing he related the following to "a crowd of travelling men who were standing in the lobby of the Jeffer' son:
 Some years ago I was clerking ill a hotel in western Kansas. On one of the late trains we received our usual quota of travelling men, and the first one to register was an old fellow who had been travelling for many years. As he was writing his name on the register, bedbug started to hot-foot it across the page. The old fellow raised his pen from the page and said: Gentlemen, have been travelling for a number of years, have stopped at great many hotels in which I have found bedbugs, but this is the first time have had them come and look to see what room was-a assigned to. :" N

Cranberry Resolutions of apprecitain for Act ing Governor Pindall and General Surridge and a special resolution commenting the National Guard up- on their excellent behavior and mag nlticent military maneuvers during the encampment, was adopted. Com plimentary resolutions were also passed relative to Senator Dick of Ohio and the national enactment which has been so effective in ad vancing the interests of the Nation al Guard and adding dignity to the American citizenship, as evidenced in Arkansas.
 The encampment closed last night with a sham battle, which was cer- tainly the most realistic and best conducted military manuever ever witnessed in this state.
 Union Labor Day.
 Today was Union Labor Day. There was also a great demonstra- tion of the Arkansas Boosters and a Boosters parade. It is estimated that the crowd was the largest of any yet attending the fair in any one day. The weather was perfect, crisp and cool.
 Governor Pindall, Hon. H. L.. Moore, state secretary of the Ark ansas Federation of Labor, Secre- tary J. s. Hawkins of the Arkansas Good Roads Association and Ben l.. Griffin, secretary of the Arkansas Farmers Union, were the chief speakers of the day Most of them confined their remarks to broad discussion of the good roads move ment, the union men in addition speaking on the unionization of the farmers which has placed the farm CTS of the South in more indepen- dent position than has ever before been attained by the tillers of the soil. The support of every voter for constitutional amendment No. 10, which contemQlates an addition al 2-mill tax fo ,rthe purpose of improving the roads of the state. was asked.

Announce They Are Willing
 to Deal With Grower, In stead of Exchange, if
 Growers Meet Demands.
OBJECT TO SET PRICE
Resolution FayOrs Warehouse System and Selling Agents-Much Work to Be Done Today Before the Close.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct., 9.-That the time is not far distant when the cotton planters of the South will sell their product direct to the spinners of Europe and American, Instead of through the middle man, in bales ginned and compressed at the plantation, with methods in which loss has been reduced to minimum, was indicated by today's discussion before the International Conference of Cotton Growers and Spinners.
 Spinners representing hundreds of mills and millions of spindles told the planters that they were not only willing but anxious to buy their cotton direct. Big planters and representatives of the Farmers Union told the spinners of Europe that already they were organized, had built chain of cotton ware- houses, and had perfected a busi- ness system in which the spinners could purchase an almost unlimited supply of graded cotton, and were ready to eleminate the antfquated method of selling through middle t man.
 But" said Herr Arthur Kuffler, Of Vienna ,'if you planters wish to trade alrect with us you must not fix the price arbitrarily at 15 cents, and you must give us better service than tie merchant
 Action furthering this condition took concrete form in the unani- nous adoption by the conference of a resolution presented by the Con- mittee on Trade Relations Between Growers and spinners. This reso- lution declared that much of the -- present difficulty in handling cot ton could be eliminated if the grow CTS would adopt what in known as the warehouse system and estab- lliSh selling agents in Europe and America. MS4An essential part of the scheme is@ the adoption of standard type of contract, classification of cotton by grade and color alone, the unit
 be 5O,O0O pounds instead of lNO,0OO bales, net weight, and the 1andling of damp cotton under uni :Orm rules. These points were em- ,odied in the resolution presented M the committee on relation, and hese also were unanimously adopt n by the conference. Thus two bng steps in the great work of the Inference, the raising of the stan
 ard of cotton delivered to the
 inner, the simpler and more econ
 lical methods of handling, involv-
 k a saving, at a conservative es-
 Ste, of something like $25,00O,OO0 #year were taken.
 M Biggest Work Yet To Come.
 The great work of the conference let remains to be done. This is final action on the general subject of Rowing and handling cotton. Reso- nticns bearing on this were pre- ;. Tented at todays session by the to which the subject was

referred and after a somewhat pro- tracted discussion were ordered print ed and will come up Aor furthef dis cussiOn tomorrow, with the proba- bility that the conference will de- vote most of the final days session to their consideration. The recom- mendation of this committee embod- jed the following points:
 That planters select and save their seed for the next crop to in- sure a high standrad.
 That freshly picked cotton be housed from 40 to 60 days before shipment.
 That planters, as fast as possible, either as individuals or in communi- ties, adopt gin compressing and the Egyptian form of bale. The lat ter means in effect, ginning and con- pressing on the plantation.
 The committee on Buying and Selling, to which was referred Con- gressman Het1in's resolution, di- rected it to the subcommittee, ap- pointed yesterday, of which Mr. Hetiin is chairman, for further ac- tlOn. This means that the subject will be debated on the floor of the conference. >,
 Arguments Pro and Con.
 Spinners and planters alternated today in putting forward their side of the question of growing and spin ming. Addresses were made by Thomas Coates and Wm. Howardith of England. Herr Kuffler of Aus tria representing the spinners; E.. A. Calvin of Houston Texas, and T. J. Brooks, representing the farm CTS union, and k. D. Smith, of South Carolina, who warmly de- tended 15-cent cotton. Samuel T. Hubbard of the New York Cotton Exchange, and Mark H. Thomas of Houston, Texas, defended cotton exchanges.
 Speculation, said Mir. Hubbard, could never be abolished. It was natures way of forwarding civili- ration, and the elimination of spec ulation would reduce the ration of buyers.
 MT. Coates said that he represent 95 spinners with 6,000,00O spind- les, who was loudly applauded when he announced that he was ready at any time the cotton was offered to take $200,O0O worth direct from the grower. Our organization" he said, stands ready at all times to take the cotton. If they cannot take it at their 95 mills they will dispoes of it otherwise, as soon as the grow CTS are ready to give it to them di- rect. We are absolutely ready to advance 75 per cent of the valua tion until the cotton is graded and proved according to contract"
 The conference tomorrow will meet at g a. m. and final adjourn ment will take place late in the afternoon.
 Birds That Destroy Boil Weevil
 The members of the committee on Growing and Handling cotton were much interested in talk by Secretary Pearson of the National Audubon Society, who stated that through the efforts of the Depart ment of Agriculture he had discov- cred that A species of carnivorous birds feed on the worst of cotton pests the boil weevil The con- mittee adopted a resolution urging the government to give financial aid to the Audubon Society in the pro lection of the birds. -@-@1r HT7r ~

devoted nearly an hour every day during
the rehearsals of THE Lady from Lane's'

On her arrival at the stage door at
HOO O'Clock, from thirty TO forty young
sters gathered daily In the hope OF getting
one Of the rides in her runabout. AS she
could only take about seven at a time
the children generally drew lots as 10
who should have the first ride.
Miss Shattuck says that she not only
derives pleasure from seeing the han
piness of the children but that she hopes
that her example viii be followed by
others. Many wealthy people have au-
