Cotton Discussion

A number Of farmers and mer-
chants gathered at the Coffin
hall Saturday afternoon to dis
cuss the question of storing cot
ton in the warehouse to be built
in Elgin. At first some of the
farmers thought it was intend
ed as money making scheme
for the Elgin merchants, but af-
ter it was explained to them
that the merchants would not
even get any interest 4 the
money they advance. t..a far.
mers began to think IL was a
good plan of storing cotton.

The Great War.

The greatest war of history is
taking place in Europe. More
than half the earth's population
"a directly concerned. and the
olhef half is under the shadow
cast by this world conflict.
No other war approaches it in
number of men involved, in the
tremendous sacrifice of life and
property that the nations are
making in results that will
spread to the remotest corners of
the earth.
1t is an epoch in history that
for suddenness and for stirring
events stands alone. Those who
are alive today will remember
the great war always as the
most remarkable spectacle of
their lives. They will recall
what they read of battles where
armies as large as small Nations
fought on front miles and miles
in extent. The stories of con-
flict, of heroism, will never leave
the memories of this generation.
For the story of this war as il
Is being written Oklahomans
must turn to their newspapers.
The Dallas Morning News, Dallas
Evening Journal and The Dallas
Semi-Weekly Farm News have
the sources of world news al
their command. At nominal
cost the reader has collected and
arranged for him on the printed
page the record Of this moment.
Gus struggle.
Every Oklahoman can keer
thoroughly informed on the pro.
gress of the war by reading the
newspapers named above.
