FARMERS OF SOUTH
URGED TO HOLD THE
PRICE OF COTTON UP
THIRTEEN CENTS SHOULD BE
THE MINIMUM PRICE TO BE
ACCEPTED.
Senators and Representatives From
Dixie Go over Situation and De-
clare That Less Than Stated Price
Is Not Warranted.

! WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-~Hold
cotton for Is cents, is the advice to
be formally given 10 farmers organi-
cations by a committee consisting OF
Senators Williams, Of Mississippi,
and owen, Of Oklahoma, and Repre-
{ sentative Burleson, Of Texas, repre-
senting a conference Of Senators and
Representatives. They will urge the
State banking associations to coop
crate against the bearish movement
Of the spectators.
/ What was referred to generally as
the Threatening condition of the cot
ton market, was thoroughly discuss
ed at meetings today and last night.
Among the participants were Sena-
tors Williams and Owen, Representa-
tiyes Underwood and Hefin, of Ala
bama, BraDuey and Hughes, Of Geor-
gia, Burleson and BeaIl, Of Texas,
Garrett, Of Tennessee, HUMPHREYS, Of
Mississippi and Small, of North Caro-
lima. A number Of them are large
cotton planters. The committee is
sued d statement which read:
/ II seems to be the opinion Of all
that there was a preconcerted effort
icing made, principally through the
fundamentally Of the speculative ell
ement of the New York Cotton Ex-
change, to break down the price OF
cotton.
1T was the opinion Of all the the
present statistical condition OF cot
ton did not Justify the lowness Of the
/ present quotations, and that the esti-
mate of 100000 bales was unJusti-
fed by any facts upon which any pre-
diction could be sanely based, and
that, moreover even if 100000
bale crop was in sight, the worlds
. supply probably would fall short Of
the worlds demand for cotton to the
extent Of more than 100000 bales,
because Of the exhaustion of the pres.
ent visible supply Of carried over
spot cotton.
In other words, that with d $4,000.
OO0 American crop, the worlds crop
for 1911 would sum UP only $4,000. 00o
with 100000 spindles, creating an
active demand for 100000 bales
This opinion was based upon the lat
est advices from Egypt, India, China
and other cotton producing coun
tries"
The statement refers 10 the ap
pointment of the committee to write
in the name OF those present, let
ter TO the president of the farmers
union and TO officials of otherr cotton
farmers organizations, asking them
to advise their local unions and other
subordinate bodies TO advise the
farmers generally TO hold their cot
ton for 10 cents and to continue to de
mand that price until by a coHven
ton or agreement arrived at in some
way, a different one shall be suggest
ed"
The conference expressed the view
that - cents was seemingly less thar
that justified by the existing statisti
cal condition.

offered here So Force School has be-
come world famous as an educational in

Although Count de Buisseret, the for

young Guy de Buisseret, the eight-year-
old son, will still attend Force School
Young Guy, who is a clever and self-re-

He is now with Gen. and Mrs. John P.

POKER In AUTO
IS LATEST GAME
Players Safe from Any Po-
lice Interference.

Automobile poker is the latest game OF
chance. 1t is exciting and can be played
most anywhere, is safe from police inter
necessary. The stakes are just what the
players wish to make them-trom l cent
on up to a bank roll.
There is no limit to the number OF
players. A dozen can play just as we'll as
two or three. All that is necessary 10 to
stand on the street corner and watch au-
tomobiles go past Every car carries a
District license tag, and in many OF the
cases the numbers run into five figures
A poker hand consists of five cards, and
the figures on the license tags correspond
to the cards. The only difference is that
the cards are of different colors, while the
license tags are all of uniform color, and
hence fiushes are impossible.
In automobile poker the hands may
consist Of pairs. straights, threes, full
houses. and four of kind. Player num-
ber one selects the first machine that
passes. Suppose that 6766 is the license
number. He would have three skies.
Player number two selects the second au-
tOmObile, and so on until each player has
a hand. The best hand is then declared
the winner. There are several diversions.
The cipher may be considered Joker
and counted for any number the player
decides to call it. Also a player can draw
to his hand by selecting two consecutive
automobiles and discarding from the first
hand and adding numbers taken from the
license tag on the second machine.
OF course. there is no rattle Of chips or
push button to summon the waiter, and
many other little things that go to make
party congenial, but II is something
new and exciting in the way OF games OF

The Y. NJ. c. A. tennis tournament has
developed some lively matches and the
seml-tinals in the singles. between Chap
man and Gould played this week was a
pretty exhibition Of net work on the
part of the former and placing for the
latter. Chapman took the first two sets
and the match at Sc. 6-3. Gould did
some clever placing at times, and played
a strong game throughout. but Chap
man was so effective at the net that
once he had gained that vantage point
his opponent seldom succeeded in pass
ing him.
The finals between Chapman and Ches-

being the determining factor. During
this set Chapman was permitted to reach
the net only few times and had little
opportunity to Play his wonderful smash

credit was due his opponent for his ac-
curacy in placing. Chapman began the
third set carefully, and after breaking
through Chesleys service in the third
game, was able to win the set handily
at 6-3 on account of his superior net
work. In the fourth set, Chapman SEEM

A Beavers Days Work.

A young beaver in Regent Park Gar
dens, London. was once placed at work
upon a tree u feet long and feet 6
inches thick just as the town clocks
sounded the hour of noon. The beaver
began by barking the tree a foot above
the ground.
That done, he attacked the wood. He
worked hard, alternating his labor with
dips in his bathing pond. He bathed and
labored alternately until o'clock In the
afternoon. when he ate his supper of
bread and carrots and padded about IN
his pond until half-past o'clock.
Ten minutes later, when only one inch
Of the trees diameter remained intact,
he bore upon his work and the tree fell.
Before II fell the beaver ran as men run
when they have fired a blast. Then, as
the tree lay on the ground, he portioned
it out mentally and again began to
gnaw.
He worked at intervals all night, cut
the log into three parts, rolled two of
the portions into the water, and reserved
the other third for his permanent shell
ter. The work done he took bath.
