product of their ceaseless labor without enjoying an
equitable proportion of the boundless wealth they
create?
Present prices are but the normal adjustment
of the equities of production and consumption in
the worlds commercial activities.
The low price levels of the past have cramped
and embarrassed the Southern cotton grower and
have kept him in financial bondage.
He is now only coming into his own. Cot
ton will in the future sell occasionly for less than it
commands today. but the day of six and seven
cents cotton has passed, and its passing means the
redemption of the patient and long suffering cotton
grower from financial bondage. 1t means greater
prosperity for him, for the manufacturer, the mer-
chant and for all classes. 1t means the dawn of a
brighter day, better agricultural methods, greater
development in all the industries and institutions Of
the South, and an expanding for the
whole na~tion.-Cotton and Cotton Oil (Dallas)

What Better Prices for Cotton Mean.

Cotton at l 5 cents per pound is not relatively
higher than other commodities.
1t requires much more labor and expense to
produce cotton than it does to produce wheat, corn,
oats, pork, beef, hay, ETC., yet all these have adj
vanced in price as much cotton has and many of
them have had comparatively greater advances in
market quotations.
Furthermore, the advance in grain and in all
kinds of breadstuffs has been more uniform and of
longer duration.
No other agricultural product is subject to more
such sudden and wide fluctuations in price as cotton
and none can compare with cotton in the countless
Vicissitudes to which it is exposed in coming to ma
turity. Cotton today is worth about 40 per cent
more than it sold for last year.
All classes of grain have had quite as great a
rise in price.
Meat products have been steadily going higher
and higher tor years until a pound of tough beef
now sells for as much as a pound of cotton, while
the cost Of production is at least one-third less than
that of cotton.
Wool is nearly fifty per cent higher in the mar
Aets than it was only a year or two ago, and soon
Through the whole list of life's necessities.
Then why all this outcry about the enhanced
price of cotton? Cotton goods for years have been
selling on a fifteen cent basis for the raw material
and manufacturers have grown rich on their divi-
dends.
The tempting profits of cotton manufacturers
have attracted capital and the spindleage of the
world has been largely increased within the past
twelve months.
Why should Southern cotton growers dig and
deive to enrich those who spin and weave the feecy

The Future for Cotton Seed Oil.

In 1866 there were but seven mills for crushing
cotton seed in the Uuited States and these were
very crude as compared with the mills of today. In
1880 there were IIo, in 1900, 357, and it is estit
mated now that there are over 900 cotton seed
mills. 1t is said that the people of the Orient
were the first to recognize-tha: there was an oil of
great value in cotton seed; America was behind in
recognizing the value Of the oil, but first to make
up for lost time in its manufacture.
1t would appear that still greater possibilities
await the development for cotton seed meal and
oil. The druggists dispensatory even now gives
the dosage. DR.. George Brown, ex-president of
the Anti tuberculosis League of America, says tina
if the oil was fed to the children that they would
escape scrofulous and tubercular diseases.
The oil is being largely appropriated in culin-
airy lines and is destined to take the place in a large
measure of hog lard. One of the chief reasons why
this is to be so, is, because there are no germs in the
cotton seed oil. All this goes to show the possibili-
of the Southern farmer. His product will not
only prove a benediction to the world but treasures
him that Cotton is King" 1t is the wise farmer
that will properly appropriate this lesson.

but en- the contrary, he began at the ground, at the

Saying Does Not Bring Results.

Our editorial of last week advising the organi-
cation of a business league in Grenada has been
most generously endorsed by the business men of
the town and our citizenship generally. They
have all said sit was good" But saying does not
bring results. 1t is deeds more than words that
count. If we wrote correctly, then 1t behooves
our PEOPLE to make some effort, some cooperative,
some united effort, to make amends for past delin-
ouencies and to avert the recurrence of the same
detrimental things in the future. 1t can be done.
Nobody will do it for us. What does not come
to Grenada will 90 elsewhere. The channels of
prosperity are open to us. Vessels of good cheer
are anchored in the harbor of hope. If the town
does not get aboard and ride out into the open sea
of a real, live business activity it is its own fault.
II is the muscle that is used most that develops
most. A chronic ease begets chronic troubles.

Judge BeIden Ha--,ss nawo Ne.
''sl on Old Claims Against
Estate of w. W. Cooper
COUNTY COURT is REVERSED

After many years of contest in the
courts the estate of the late Willis W.
Cooper, former manager of the Chica
go-Kenosha Hosiery Works who met
death in the panic at the Iroquois
Theatre in Chicago on the night of
December 80, 1908, will be forced to
pay the large claims made against the
estate by Lyman D. Brown and the
City Button Works of New York. The
claims aggregating over $4,000 and in
terest were filed against the estate
shortly after the death of Mr.. Cooper
and they have been before the court
since that time.
The two claims were originally
claims against the Black Cat Garter
Company Of Chicago in which several
Kenosha people were interested, but in
which Mr.. Cooper was the most i'm
portant stakeholder Mr.. Cooper had
| planned to make this great company
and 30 this end he had invested a
large amount of money, but shortly
after his death the company was
forced into bankruptcy by the credi-
tors. just previous to his death Mr..
| Cooper had given to the two New York
companies a personal guarantee of the
debts of the Chicago company to a
| limited amount and after his death
both Lyman d. Brown and the City
Button Works filed claims for the en-
tire amount owed to them by the bank
rupt garter company. The matter
was first taken up in the County Court
and Judge Slosson ruled against the
claimants holding that the guarantee
was not valid under the Wisconsin law.
The matter was tried by Judge Belden
in 1908 and in his decision which has Just
been filed, he finds that the guarantee
was entirely binding and that the
estate must pay to the City Button
Works ST ,431.33 and interest since
April l, 1904, and to Lyman D. Brown
81, 104.04 with interest from the same
time.
It is thought that the executor of
the estate will make no further con
test, but will settle the two claims.
This will make possible the final set

AUTO GOES INTO DITCH
j. II. Raymond and Family of Chicago
Injured in Auto Mishap

Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Raymond, Miss
Ethel Raymond and ]. H. Raymond,
Jr., all of Chicago, were slightly injur-
ed just after eight clock Friday even
ing when the automobile in which they
were riding went into ditch between
Kenosha and Zion City. Raymond
was driving the car himself and in
some manner he lost control of the
steering apparatus and the car went
into the ditch at the side of the road
striking a telephone pole with such vi
olence that the pole was broken and
the occupants of the car were thrown
out. All Of them received slight
bruises, but none was seriously in
jured. Later they secured convey
ance and came to Kenosha and they
made their trip to Chicago by train
this morning. The automobile was
towed into Kenosha this morning and
shipped back to Chicago. The mem
bers of the party were fortunate not
to have suffered more serious injury.

STILL SEEKING KNAPP
Dubuque Officials Insist That Dentist
is Hiding in Kenosha

Police of Kenosha and Dubuque,
Iowa, are making every possible effort
to find the residence of Mrs. Fl. G..
Knapp in this county as it is declared
that her husband DR.. H. G.. Knapp of
Dubuque is in hiding at the home of
the wife. The doctor has been promi
nent in Dubuque for the past forty
years aad he disappeared from that
city last Tuesday after complaint
had been made against him by Mrs.
James Florey. The doctor is 70 years
OF age and the complaint against him
IS of the most sensational nature.
Several messages have been received
from Dubuque declaring that DR..
Knapp was traced to Chicago and that
he left that city for Kenosha.
Both Knapp and his wife are said
to be people of wealth and it is
claimed that Mrs. Knapp has been
living on a farm in this county for
more than a year. If such is the fact
1t is thought that she must be living
under an assumed name as there is no
one on any of the rural routes of the
city bearing that name.
Knapp was at first thought to have
committed suicide when the charges
against him caused a great sensation
In Dubuque, but on Thursday the
police of the Iowa city made discov-
cries which caused them to think that
he had left for this city. 1t is claimed
that son of Knapp formerly lived
IN the town of Somers, but he left that
town more than a year ago and the
people there have no knowledge of his
present whereabouts. The police of
Kenosha have not been officially asked
to join in the search but Chicago de-
tectives were here on Friday afternoon
looking for some trace of the much
wanted man.

MEMBERS DROP OUT
Large Decrease Being Reported
in Ranks of the Grand Army
in Wisconsin Cities
MAY UNITE SMALLER POSTS

That while the financial condition of
the Grand Army of the Republic post
in Wisconsin is very good, some Of the
| posts are dwindling down to 10 and
Is members and should be consolidated,
is the principal point of interest in
the annual report of Department In
spector j. S. Anderson of Manitowoc
who has just compiled his report and
mailed the same to the state G. A. r.
officers.
The state G. A. R. posts have total
financial standing of $55,003.52, Of
which $16,6a7.o7 is represented by cash
in the various treasures and $3S,316.45
in property and securities. In his
tour of the state the department in
| spector found 229 posts, inspecting 1919
of these. In all of the posts that he
visited he found the records we'll kept.
The posts in the state in the past year
have expended $511.79 for relief
There are 122 posts with Woman S Re
lief Corps attached and seven with
Sons of Veterans.
Of the $50 posts which have been
chartered during the existence of the
G.. A. R. in Wisconsin, 81 are now ex-
tinct, leaving 229 posts in existence.
The posts inspected represent mem
bership of $3.50. Of the 100 posts in
spected, los are reported as excellent
or good, "a as "fair' while the re-
manning 40 are reported in varying
terms of encouragement. The fnan-
cial condition, he reports, is first class.
Several of the posts own their own
places of meeting and some have large
funds on hand to meet future emer
gencies. The amounts in the treas
uries vary from q cents to over $4,000.
He adds:
One thing that impressed me very
forcibly was the large number of very
small posts. There are % posts whose
membership is 10 or less. while there
are no less than 50 whose membership
does not exceed IS. In my judgment
the time is near at hand, if not al
ready here, when some of the smaller
posts must consolidate with others in
their neighborhood in order that the
individual members may hold their
status in the organization. In the
northern part of the state there are
instances where a small post is a
necessity, but where railroad eonnec-
tions are good small posts should
consolidate.

Man is Supposed to Have Been a

His Identity Had Been
Carefully Destroyed

An unknown man, supposed to have
been a tramp, Committed suicide in the
town of Sadgm early Friday morning
when he Crowned himself in the waters
OF Fog River near the village of Will
moo. The body of the man was re-
covered and after an inquest had been
held it was buried today at Mouae
cemetery in the tow9 of Salem at the
expense of the coahty Tine identity
of the man is <shrouded in mystery
He had been /seen about the railway
station at Silver Lake on Thursday
Revening and he seemed to be in the
best ot/spirits. Some time before he
jumped into the river two women saw
him walking along the tracks of the
Wisconsin Central Railway and he wa.
Emumbhng to himself and seemed to be
in great pain. Later the same women
saw the man sitting on the banks OF
the river and they, fearing that the
man was contemplating suicide, called
up the people of Wilmot. Later some
OF the men of the town went to the
river and found the dead body of the
man floating on the Surface of the
Iwater. He was removed from the
water and efforts were made to re-
vive him but they were without avail
The man was evidently fifty or sixty
years of age and his clothing indicated
that he was a tramp who had been on
fthe road for some time. The remains
were taken to Wilmot where the in,
quest was held. A search Of his
clothing failed to reveal anything
which would show who the old man
was and it was evident from the condi-
ton of the papers in his pocket that
he had carefully destroyed everything
which would lead toward identifying
him. A description of the man and
his clothing was preserved and efforts
will be made to identify him.
