"Our New Minister" one of the
favorite plays from the pen of
Denman Thompson, is playing to
packed houses at the Princess this

is creditably portrayed by John

characters are excellently acted
by other members of the COM

a tiny thread of romance and
pathos interviewer with the plot.

front with the beginning of the sea-

fore to the end of ginning cotton BY
the most up-to-date methods.
The equipment includes the drying
and cleaning process, thus eliminating
all dirt and insuring a finer sample,
and consequently a better market
price.
There is no long waiting upon the
part of farmers, as three sets of gins
can serve three customers at the sans
time. The cotton is ginned clean frori
the seed, and the press boxes are of
the uniform size, 27 by "a inches. The
best bagging is used in wrapping the
cotton.

proprietor of the Americus Oil Co.,

business brought to the mills.

union HAS FIXED PRICE
COTTON AT FIFTEEN CENTS
OF Course the Producer Will

Salina, Kas., Sept. 5.-The high
cost of living will be higher as re-
suit of the action of the National
Farmers Union here today in fixing
the price at which members will sell
this years crop of cotton at fifteen
cents a pound The present price is
approximately IL cents.
The action of the convention bids
every member of the union to hold his
cotton until the market reaches the
figures set.
Although in the past repeated efforts
have been made to have a similar res
olution passed by the convention, the
advocates of the proposal always fail
ed to muster the necessary votes. This
year there was no opposition to the
plan.

ZEBRA STRIPES
WILL BE ABOLISHED
BY PRISON BOARD

Atlanta, Sept. 5-Only the lowest
grade of state eenyicts will be garbcd
in the familiar black and white "ze
bra" stripes in future is the decision Of
the prison commission, which has
adopted the government system OF
providing three grades of uniform for
prisoners.
In future when a convict begins his
term he will wear the stripes. If he
behaves himself, follows the rules and
is generally a good prisoner he will
soon be entitled to wear a second
grade uniform, not so conspicuous IS
stripes, and eventually may climb in
to the third grade, a plain suit OF
gray.
The commissioners believe a con-
vict should be punished by work ami
confinement, and not by the garb he
wears and the treatment he receives.
In Texas, where stripes have practi-
cally been abolished for some tima,
the effect upon the conduct of prison
ers has been marked.

to be done for Uncle Sam he wants his
share.
