WHY No Strikes

BISINI - Il DEMOCRATIC ONE,

SATISFACTORY.
WHAT field MEN Get

a correspondent makes the follow
Ing inquiry;
Tulsa, Okla. oct. p, 1911.
Dear sir
Il have often wondered why it Is
We never hear Of any strikes among
work rs in oil fields. Can YOU throw
any lignt on this subject? Please
gi.r the wages paid TO men en-
ployed in the field
Yours very truly
-. L. r."
II is true that there are no strikes
IN the oil business, The writer Of this
ia not aware that there ever has been
strike among oil workers since the
first field was discovered in Pennsyl-
taun about a half century ago.
Wages Are Good.
one reason for this no doubt is the
fact mat producers have always paid
good wages to the men they employ.
Tho wages paid in the Mid-Conu-
npnt field are about ten per cent
higher than those paid In the Penn
s,lNauia and Eastern fields. on the
other hand, the wages paid in the
Tctas fields and In California ana
Me>,o are ten to fifteen per cent
msher than those paid IN the Mid
Continent field.

fair etotement Of wages paid in the

COTTON REACHES
NEW LOW AARk
REPORTS OF FREE SELLING IN
THE SOUTH BRINGS PRICE
STILL LOWER.
MARKET WELL SUPPORTED
Much Interest Eyinced In Governors
Conference To Devise Means TO Nd
vance Price of 1911 Cotton.

NEW YORK. oct 3O.-New low
records were made i'm the cotton mar
ket today for all deliveries later than
December, and while the closing
tone was steady last prices showed a
loss of from II to Is points compar-
ing with the final figures of last
week
The market opened steady at a de-
cline Of 4Q9 points in response to
lower cables. Early fluctuations We're
somewhat irregular, private cables In
dicating that the south had been a
free seller in Liverpool this morning,
and rumors that leading English
trade authorities placed the American
crop at from 100000 and 1880
O00 bales. The south also seemed to
be selling here rather more freely
than last week, while on every little
rally local bears were aggressive and
before midday the active months were
about II to II points net lower, with
January selling at SS7 and March at
SOS or into new low grounds for the
season.
Realizing checked the decline
around this point and there were raj
lies of from to 6 points from the
lowest, but while trade became less
active during the afternoon bulges
were barely maintained and last
prices were only or points up
form the lowest.
Reports of easier southern spot
markets undoubtedly encouraged sell
ing later in the day and broadly
speaking. much of the days local
pressure appeared to result from ex-
pectations of an easier interior spot
market now that october engage
ments have been filled.
Numerous advices We're received
from southern points during the day
claiming that the spot demand was
slackenlng and transactions in the
spot market officially reported seemed
TO clear the bearish view in this re-
spect as they We're generally un-
changed to Is lower.
Considerable curiosity was express
sed as to the outcome Of the confer
ence of southern growers in New or
leans for the purpose of devising
some means to advance the price Of
cotton.
The market, however, met good
support below $40 for January, chief
| ly support from old shorts and reac-
tionists.
Receipts today. S3,6O9 bales, against
S2.S97 last week, and 95,S54 last year.
Today's receipts at New orleans,
11.4O7, against 21,547 last year, and
at Houston. 24.54O against Eases last

Florida's Growth
In Ten Years.

Statistics Of the growth in farm
land values and farm development
during the past ten years for the states
comprised in the territory of the
Southern Commercial Congress elo-
quently tell of the marvellous growth
of Florida.
Sixteen states are included in the
list and Florida is second in farm de-
velopment for the last ten years, Okla
homa being the only state making
greater progress, while in the increase
in value of farm lands, Georgia, Okla
homa, South Carolina and Texas are a
few points ahead of Florida.
These figures are even better than
was expected when it is remembered
cred seriously as an agriculturalNstate,
and the next ten years will show that
Florida is many points in the lead of
any other state, Oklahoma not ex-
copied.
Lands that sell for few dollars an
acre now in certain parts of Florida
will produce more than the lands of
the north which cannot be bought for
many times as much, and the farmers
of the cold north are beginning to
realize what awaits them in the Land
of Enchantment.
There are dozens OF reasons why
Florida land values will increase
. The balmy climate is the greatest. of
course, as it enables the farmer to cul-
tfvate some marketable crop every
month in the year.
Another is that the Canadian cities
will probably be open to the truckers
of Florida in short time and thus
open up a greater market for our
truck farmers. Then again Florida
cities are growing at a startling rate
and are calling upon the farmers to
furnish them with the good things that
may be raised in the country.
Manufacturing concerns are finding
out that the Florida lands are best
suited to growing their products and
within few years Florida will be filled
with packing houses and canning fac
tories to utilize the surplus crops of
the farmers.
West Florida has more to offer the
.homeseekors of the north than any
other part of the state. All that is
necessary is to come and look. Resi-
dents should impress it upon the minds
of their friends living elsewhere that
opportunity and success is awaiting
them here.

At one end Of the table sat Jens Mel

bushy red beard. while Mrs. Rens-
selaer sat aloof in a corner, thinking
her own thoughts.

first lady in waiting If you behave

Rollins smiled thinly. but he could
not take his eyes nor his mind from
the appalling wreck Of Henry Breed,
the richest man the world had ever
known or perhaps ever would know,
the man who, starting without q dol
lar. had In the course Of an ordinary

that half controlled the balance Of 1t.
And he was come to this end!

Rollins turned to him with relief.
