Considerable interest is now
being taken IN the buy-a bale
movement In this city. and Mon-
day evening a number u hl.i
ness men held n meeting at the
Chamber Of Commerce for the
purpose of organizing and start.
ing a real live campaign.
The meeting was presided
over by the president. Mr.. T. J.
Locke, Jr.. and good suggestions
for operating a cotton club were
offered by quite a number of
the gentlemen present. Tie
plan offered by Mr.. Locke was
adopted. A committee of three.
consisting of Messrs. w. ID.
Humphries, Parker Reeves and
w. s. Newly. was appointed to
pass uLon all cotton offered for
sale, and three committees, of
three members each, were named
to canvass the city to induce
merchants and manufacturers
to join in the movement. Those
on the committees to canvass
for purchasers follow:
Committee No. Lee Caine,

Committee No. FL. |. Kauf-

All of the local merchants will
be furnished with a letter, copies
of which will be sent to every
manufacturer and jobber with
whom they deal.
The following is the letter
written to the local merchants:
Dear Sirs::-
I'VE enclose a copy of a letter
to jobbers and others with whom
you may deal. including produc-
ers and buyers of cotton seed
products. We would urge you
to write such a letter to each of
your correspondents. No matter
if some one has happened to
write to them it seems TO US per-
fectly proper that you should do
so, and should expect them to
buy more cotton. This is not an
request as, with
the suspension of the cotton
trade, business with the South
is suspended. In addition to this
fact it is undoubtedly true that
if the South is forced to raise all
its corn, wheat, cattle and hogs
it is goodbye to the trade of the
West, especially is getting from
the South. Might emphasize
this if you like.
In addition to this would it
not be well if you should buy a
bale yourself and exhibit it as a
stimulant for others to do like
wise? We are receiving daily
enquiries from people who say if
they can sell just one bale they
can get along. Now is the time
to help ourselves. If you can
buy more than one bale, or will
do so, you know the banks have
offered to advance a fair price on
it so that the burden will not be
heavy on you."
A copy of the communication
to be written by the local mer-
chants, to jobbers and others,
follows:
Look at your books and see
how much business you did in the
South last year.
How much of a debit balance
do they show now against Sou.
thern merchants?
Do you realize that the Euro
pean war has destroyed the cot
ton market?
Do you realize that cotton that
was selling two months ago at
13 cents a pound is now offered
at z cents and 10 takers?
Do you realize what this means

A Criticism.

"There are some strange things
about the farmers of this section"
"One day last week our agriculture
class Of the eighth grade tested a
sample of milk from the fine Jersey
cow owned by Mr.. Hanson. The test
was carefully made from whole milk
and showed SO per cent butter fat.
This is more than so per cent above
the average. This means that Mr..
Hanson could add one-half gallon OF
water to each gallon of milk and still
have standard milk"
Mr.. Editor, it is not strange that
water should be added to milk, per-
haps, but it is strange that anyone
should suppose it could be done with
out detection. One old lady found in
her pitcher of milk that sat on the
gate post under a catalpa tree a snail.
1t did not require a Babcock milk
tester to find the watering of that
milk. Milk men are pr~overbially
lacking in honesty, SO it is said.
Standard milk 80 per cent waterl
Why milk is So per cent water-and
II to IA per cent solid; average $50
per cent butter fat, 5. per cent milk
sugar, 1926 per cent c%asein, 0.5O per
cent albumen, 0.75 ash. Missouri's
Pure Food Law, which went into eff
feet June ID, 1907, requires "Standard
Milkr to contain not less than 8.5 per
cent Of solids not fat. and not less
than 1926 per cent Of milk fat.
Butter fat is the most variable Of
solids, ranging from very low to 6t
per cent, or even 7 per cent. The
solids are quite constant.
sit is funny, isn't it," that our higf
school agriculture class could not
figure out the changed ratio Of solids
and water after 80 per cent of water
was added?
1t is also funny that farmers do moi
care to pay so cents per COW to have
their milk tested by experts ~ when
more than one Babcock tester hal
been in use here for ten years, and il
was done, during the palmy days o
the creamery struggle, for the asking
and is now, by a machine that is ready
for work whenever a neighbor bring
a sample.
It is funny that about fifteen cream
separators of various makes are il
daily use among our farmers and no.
body ever hears of them through th,
newspapers.
Farmers today are going through
the bitterest struggle they have eve
known. Changed conditions, climatic
social, economic and p~olitical-are tt
be met and conquered, and the far
mer plods on with a never-dyinl
faith in the future. But one question
arises in their minds: That ''hal

milk-is it the standard Of morals 0

lack OF information?

Annals Reward

Many years ago there lived among
the mountains of Utah, in the small
village of Ogden, a wealthy farmer
and his only daughter. Anna.
Anna was the image Of her dead
mother, and many WHO saw her for
the first time marveled that aught 80
beautiful could be real; for her long
golden eurls and soft white skin and
delicately tinted pink cheeks really
did make all rightly call her beauti-
full.
Many a time had Anna asked her
father for few dollars to buy food
for q poor family to which she was
much attracted. but her father, who
was a miser as well as a harsh,
tyrannieal man. refused, saying he
did not intend to spend his money on
people who would not and could not
appreciate it.
Days and days glided on and Anna
each day carried to her friends some
little article of use or some food.
One day as she was stealing down
the street with a basket of food her
father suddenly stood before her. and,
III q harsh tone, asked her what
she had in the basket.
With a burst of tears she told him
all. told him what hard time her

The Reward of POlitenesS

There once lived in the city of New
ark a little boy whose name was
Morris Gerber. He was a very polite
little boy, at home as well as in
school.
One day as he was walking in tho
street he noticed an old man trying
to ascend very high stairway Of a
nice house. Little Morris was filled
with pity when he saw the slow
progress that the old man made, so,
going over, he offered his arm, which
the old man accepted with a very
gratifying look, and, leaning against
the sturdy little fellow, he easily
reached the top. Before Morris took
his leave the old gentleman took his
address.
Five years later the old man died
When his will was read 1t was found
that he had no relatives who were
alive, so all his possessions went to
The Polite Little Boy" as the old
man wrote IT.
Meanwhile Morris had become a
big boy. His parents were very poor,
and could not afford to let him go
to high school. He had already
finished public school. He wanted to
be a professional man very much.
It was really n great surprise to
him at this critical moment to learn
that the old man whom he had helped
up the stairs had left him great
fortune.
Instead of going to work and dis
continuing his studies, he went to
high school and then to college. He
had enough money left after that to
last him all his life.
Now, don't you think It pays to be
polite? J. II. y.

Then Lolti went to Rodmar and

Loki gave Rodmar a helmet, so no

Upon his back bag of sand
His step is soft and slow.

But when ! bend my sleepy head,

And mother tells the truth always.
I guess he's old, with silver hair.
He's up SO late! He has to go
To lots of children, everywhere,
At evening. when the sun is low,
His cloak is long, green and old,
With pretty dreams in every fold
His shoes are silken, mother says,
And mother tells the truth always.
He glides across the sunset hills,
To seek each little child like me:
Our all-day tired eyes to fill
With sands of sleep from slumber's
sea:
l try my best awake to stay,
But l am tired out with play;
I'll never see hint" mother says,
