Those who are best informed on the
condition of the cotton crop in Carter

ORGANIZATIONS GET BUSY
A mass meeting was held at Goa
linga yesterday, following which re-
quest was sent to j. F. Lucey of this
city, a prominent oil man, urging him
to aid in organizing the forces of
Southern California. Mr.. Lucey al
ready has taken up the work and the
chamber of commerce, the chamber of
mines, the merchants and manufac-
tureTs' association, Sierra Madre club
and other civic bodies have Joined in
the protest or have expressed a will
lingness to do So other organiza-
tions also will be called on to help.
The Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce has been asked to call mass
meeting for next Wednesday night, at
which it is promised oil men from CO.
alinga and all the other oil centers
will be present to explain the critical
condition of the oil interests and point
out the danger in the pending legisla-
ton. The mass meeting promises to be
one of the largest ever held by the
oil men of California and vigorous
steps will be taken TO protect the in
dustry.
Monday night a gigantic mass meet
ing will be held at Fresno, at which
a strenuous protest will be registered
and tonight or tomorrow night there
will be a similar mass meeting at Ba-
kersfield. The oil men of other sections
of the state also plan mass meetings
and already a stream of kilograms Is
being sent to Washington urging that
the proposed legislation be delayed un-
4i1 int nf the state he
resented there.
WIRE TO CONGRESSMEN
AS indicating the feeling which now
prevails in Los Angeles it is said that
about fifty kilograms were sent by the
several civic bodies and by private in
dividuals to the representatives at
Washington yesterday
The following telegram was sent to
all senators and representatives from
California now in congress:
1.-THE Sierra Madre club of Los An
geles, a mining and oil industry, re-
quest that you use your influence to de-
lay pending legislation pertaining to
the locating and operating of govern
ment oil lands in California until such
time as a committee of California oil
men can visit Washington for the pur
pose of properly presenting their case
to the national legislature. All pro-
posed legislation has caused general
dissatisfaction and uneasiness through
out the state.
"E. A. MONTGOMERY,
"President Sierra Madre club
The following telegram also was sent
to the senators and representatives by
the Los Angeles chamber of mines:
9TH Los Angeles chamber of mines
requests that you make every effort to
delay any action on proposed legisla-
tion for the regulation of government
oil lands in California until such time
as a committee composed of California
oil men can reach Washington for the
purpose of submitting their case to the
national congress.

Speaker Cannon, after delivering a
euogy on the life of the great Ameri-
can general and former president, an
nounced that he had been asked to say
a word about the rules.
The speaker stated that the rules
were a development of 120 years that
they were substantially as they had
been for q generation; that a campaign
against the rules made twenty years
ago brought out all the denunciation
made within the last two years, and
that on the former occasion it was the

In discussing the criticism of Gen.

Every man, woman and child in the
