RICHMOND CLAIMS
| ASSOCIATION TITLE.
Local Y. M. G.. A. Team Is
Ready to Meet Any "Y"
Five in Ohio and Indiana.

With the refusal of the kokomo
Y. NJ. c. A. basketball team to meet
the Richmond w. champs, the local
FIVE now claims the association cham-
pionship of Indiana and Ohio. koko-
MO has been Richmond's only rival IN
the Hoosier state, and with the 1or-
fixture of that game, leaves the locals
a. clear title for the Indiana race
THAT the local team has just right
to the claim in the Buckeye state IS
certain. The Hamilton, Dayton, MIG
dletown and Cincinnati teams are re-

by games played with these teams and
comparative scores, the local five is
,.oLed above the combinations of the
neighboring state
kokCmO : refusal to play the ~
team is evidently case OF cold feet.
Kokomo agreed to play here early in
the season, and apparently intended to
KEEP the agreement, but Cancelled the
local game later, for the reason that
rhe team intended entering the state
meet at indianapolis.

THOSE KANSAS CITY FIGURES.

Worlds Almanac for 1914 Page 6s6 gives the city
tax Kansas City, Kansas. S1.64. That is the
figure | quoted and my authority for it.
Mr. Nicholson that figure is lie because he got
private letter from somebody which states the Kansas
City, Kansas city rate is only 676 cents The "Ct
zens Committee has endorsed Mr. Nichosons private
figures by embodyng them in its advertising.
Now if the "Citizens' Committee will look the
files they will find that March 4. 1914 just
weeks ago, they printed page of that paper,
statement given out by the Citizens Committee in which
they quote letter written by W. S. Hannah secretary of
the Kansas City, Kansas, Mercantile Club, in which Mr.
Hannah told how the city tax rate for 1913 S61!
Now leave it up to the Citizens Committee to get
itself unangled that Kansas City, Kansas tax rate
best it may!

(arranza Willing to Abide by Decision
 of Fair Assemblage.

Washington, Oct. 3.-Dispatches 10 the state department late this after noon report that General Carranza has agreed to an open caucus on Mexco's affairs to be held at Aguas Calientes from October , to 10. me departments agents report that Car ranza will abide by the decision or the caucus.
 The Carranza delegates now in conference in Mexico City will go m a body to Aguas Calientes. or these delegates General Guitterez is presl- dent and General Obregon marshal.
 Whether Villas delegates, who are military chiefs, will recognize the Carranza representatives is in doupt' but it is expected the Aguas Callentes conference will choose it's own ol1l- cers and the first vote will be test on the overthrow of Carranza.
 The state department is without in- formation on the report that Zapa'a has refused to send delegates to CO., operate with Villa. The official 1nYof- nation is that Zapata notified Gen Funston that he would not recoghlze Carranza or any governor named Dy CarranZa.
 Order prevails at Monterey and Sal tillo, with through trains running from Laredo to Mexico City anG Tam pico. Good order is also reported a. Ciudad Porfirio Diaz, and the general trend of reports, according to state department officials is "that there VII be peaceful settlement of the dlftl' culties between Carranza and Villa"

STORE WILL BUY D
 BALES AT IOc
Propose to Acquire 25O Bales Altogether-Louis Froug
 Has $2,500 for Farmers.

The Froug Department store of Pine Bluff has joined the buy-a-bale movement and will purchase fifty bales of distress cotton at 10 cents d pound. This is in accord with q plan Of the FrougSmulin company, which operates chain of five stores, to take up 2J0 bales of cotton in the effort to do it's part in relieving the situation.
 Fifty bales are to be purchased by each of the five stores, authorization for the purchase of the cotton being received here yesterday. The ether 200 bales win be taken UP at Little Rctk and Prague, Cushing and Bris- tow, Okla.
 Louis Froug, manager of the Froug stCre here, says he is now in the mar ket for distress cotton and has $500 to be spent with Jefferson county farmers.
 The plan of the Froug-Smulin followed by other concerns, desirous of aiding the South. The Froug- Smulin organization has arranged to circulate cotton as money, each bale repr5 sented a $o0 bill. The company has arranged with Eastern woolen and cotton manufacturers to accept cotton at 10 cents a pound in payment of purchases from them. But the Froug company is not limiting it's philanthropy. It will pay cash for the cotton which 't will exchange TOT merchandise.
 This is by far the greatest impetus the local Duy-a-tale movement has rec ceived, and the $2500 10 be dis tributed here will do much to relieve needy farmers and stiffen the local market. The faet that the Eastern are taking this cotton at 10 cents a pound indicates not only that they are willing to cooperate i'll the movement, but that they believe cotton is worth 10 cents a pound.
