papers generally should urge the ne
cessity of keeping this pest out of the
country. l have not had time to in
vestigate it, and it may be that it is
not as dangerous as I think, and cas-
lily eradicated, but unless there is a
certainty of getting rid of it, some
very drastic measures prohibiting the
importation of Egyptian cotton or
Egyptian cotton seed should be adopt
ed by congress without delay. Scien-
lists are sometimes mistaken in their
theories, but we know that we can
keep it out of the country by prevent
ing any importation of cotton or seed
from Egypt and the South can GER
tainly afford to take no chances.

CRAIG ROADS GOOD,
SAYS COLONEL SuGGS

The following special from Ninita
to the Times-Democrat was published
in that paper:
Vinita, Sept 1S.-Col. Sidney Suggs,
state highway commissioner, spent
yesterday and today in this city look
ing over Craig county roads and TAX
ing in the Craig county fair. He was
shown over the county yesterday by
County Surveyor George Ashby and
he says Craig county has far better
than the average roads in the state.
Mr.. Ashby who is one of the most
enthusiastic road builders in the state,
informed him that they were nothing
to what Craig is going to build the
coming year, Among other things that
will be done the coming year is to
build five new steel bridges and build
a highway through the county, north
and south.

COTTON At 10C
. GOOD AS CASH
FOR TUITION
AT THE CASTLE SCHOOL. ONE OF
NEW YORK'S MOST EXCLUSIVE
INSTITUTIONS - WILL AFFECT
100000 WORTH AT THAT PRICE

Tarrytown, n. y, Sept 20.-Joinimg
President Wilson, Secretary Bryan
and other patriots in their effort to
sustain cotton as the universal col
lateral" Miss G. T.. Mason, south
ern woman, has notified the cotton
belt patrons of the Castle school that
middling cotton at ten cents is as
good as cash for tuition in this most
exclusive institution.
sentially a patriotic woman Miss Ma
son thoroughly understands the acute
cotton situation and sympathizes with
the cotton growers and manuractur-
ers who find themselves terribly en-
barassed through no fault of their
own. She knows that the educational
and social plans of many families,
based upon normal returns from cot
ton, have been shattered by the great
European war, and therefore she pro-
posed to take middlng cotton at ten
cents in lieu of cash payments.
As this offer will directly affect fif-
ty or sixty girls from the south and
involve $4,000 to 100000 worth of
cotton at ten cents, the significance
and Importance of Miss Mason's pro-
position is apparent.

Sulphur, Okla, Sept. ia r.
Avery, financial secretary of the city
of sulphur, is the first to respond
to the buy-a-bale plan at 10 cents a
pound, having made the purchase
from Ed Goldesberry, who resides
south of the city Much enthusiasm
is being manifested by the mer-
chants and business men in Sulphur
relative to providing ways and means
TO take care of the farmers and hold
the cotton for a market price of 10
cents. A warehouse is being proyid-
ed and is under the supervision of
Fred Gafford who has been a local
cotton buyer of Sulphur for several
years. There is no cotton being
sold.

am from the south and was born
in Alabama and reared in Tennessee,
viyidly the problem now confronts
the people in the cotton belt who had
a right to realize upon their magnil-
cent crop of cotton. The warning ma
tions of Europe use about % per cent
of all the cotton grown in the south.
They operate about 90,0O0,0O0 spin
dies, and export about SS7O,OOO,OOO
worth of cotton goods, or more than
II per cent, of such exports in the
world. The south raises about 62 per
cent of the worlds cotton. The mills
in the cotton belt have about 12,25O,OOO
spindles consuming 100000 bales of
cotton. The United States exports
S50.00O,00 worth of cotton goods a
year and every person knows that this
vast aggregate of business directly
affecting the south must be readjusted
anu l'' 'll0ll w NNh w lll''A '!NlR''llt p
conditions Money for cotton is the
essence of the problem. My friends
and patrons in the south must realize
an equitable amount upon their cotton.
The current market price is not fair
nor is it truly indicative of the intrin-
sic value of the product. am advised
by unbiased experts that ten cents is
shout a fair average price for mid
ding cotton and therefore | offer to
take it at that price from any who
desire to send their daughters to my
school I'm other words, am willing
to take cotton for cash and am of the
opinion that if all those who have re-
lied upon the cotton belt for patronage
and support in the past will come for
ward and in a practical way, aid the
South to finance the 100000 bales of
cotton usually sold abroad, all will be |
well with the south, and when all is |
well with the south, the entire coun-
try benefits. The south has become a |
tremendous consuming factor in Amer !
lea and the conservation of this mar
ket is now the vital business of all fac.
tors in commerce and trade"
Miss Mason is president of one of |
