understood that Germany has agreed to

FLEECY STAPLE TO BRING FARM
ERS LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY
DESPITE SHORT CROP.
LOCAL RECEIPTS ARE GOOD
Eioht Thousand Bales Of Staple Mar
keted Up to October 2o-Four Hun
dred Thousand Dollars Paid TO-
crop-Averaees $50 to the Bale.

That Ardmort ceotton buyers will
pay tC the farmers who market their
crop in this city more than million
and a quarter dollars for this seas
on's crop is the estimate of cotton
men acquainted with conditions. This
opinion is based on receipts to date.
Up 20 Friday night, October 20, eight
thousand two hundred bales had been
marketed from wagons in this city
This number il is estimated ls not
half the crop that will be marketed
here. In many ins stances it is said
cotton has been stored awaiting AN
increase In price
This season the price has been
very low for all grades OF the
staple. One cotton man estimates that
an average of $50 per bale was paid
this basis the farmers residing in
Ardmore's tributary territory, have
received $4,000 for the $500 bales
SOLD. That when the season closes
the farmers who market here, will
have received a million and q quar-
ter dollars for their crop, is the
opinion of some Others estimate the
amount will not reach more than
one million dollars.
During the season OF 1910, Ard
more received from wagons approx
imately $4,000 bales OF cotton. The
season that year ended December I.
The season of 1909 ended in Novem
Der and that of 1908 in January
This season it is recognized that
the crop is short JUST when the
season will end however depends
upon weather conditions.
Cotton is still growing and will
probably continue to grow until frost
f2lls. A frost would stop the crop
from growing and cause the cotton to
open.
Ardmore Isl Offering every induce
ment to the farmer to bring his crop
here. Prizes have been given, and
are still being given 10 the mer.
chants. This activity on the part of
he business has created better
feeling towards Ardmore. The farm
ers and merchants are more closely
allied than in the past, and that this
city will set the trade which IS
rightfully hers, anu some besides. is
the opinion of both the man who
markets the cotton and the man who
buys It.

Dollar Diplomacy Strongly Defended
 By President Taf
Special from united Press) !

Sacramento. Cal, Oct. IA wig orous defense of dollar diplomacy as exemplified by the Nicaraguan and Honduran loan treaties now before the United States Senate, was made here by President Taft. He laudeo the treaties which guarantee the col lections of customs duties in the South American republics to satisfy loans made by American bankers, as a pow erful means of preserving peace In Central and South America.
 J. F. Morgan & Company, Kuhn Loeb & Company, the First National Bank of New York and the Nation al City Bank are to make the loans to the two countries.
 There is a very decided objection in the Senate to these projects" said the President. ''The general argu- ment is that we ought not to be in- volved in entangling alliances with republics on this hemisphere or en- gage in a mere banking { arrange ment for the promotion of banking contracts.
 ..It is objected that this is dollar diplomacy and we ought to have none of it.
 'aThe United States has not enter ed into these treaties for the pro- motion of its banking business or that of any of its citizens. The purpose of this contract is to promote peace in this part of the world. The Pan anna Canal is to give us another geo. graphical reason why we should do away with warfare.'

YOUNG TURKS
 ARE AFTER SULTAN'S SCALP
Especial from United Press.)

E
 London, Oct. 1.-The issues of peace and war appear to hang upon the struggle that will begin to- day in the Turkish parliament be- tween the Young Turks and the con- servatlves. If the Young Turks win control of the government, as now ap- pears likely, peace will probably be further off than ever and the situa- ton may be complicated by another Turkish revolution.
 The committee of union and prog ress will insist that the war be con ducted to the bitter end. Before this program can be carried out, it is be- heved that it will be necessary to de- pose the Sultan, and this, it is under stood, the Young Turks are preparing to do. They propose to elevate in his stead Prince Yussof, the heir ap- parent.
 In the meantime Italy is pouring troops into TripoH and will soon have an army of 10000 men there.
