He states that there is more to be
made on manufacturing feed stuff
than on meal.
He says that the quality of the meal
turned out by his machinery is super
ior to that shipped in here to the
merchants.
Mr.. PARROT has made us an offer
to sell their mill on satisfactory terms
in the opinion of this committee.
The propositions before us are
these:
1. Build an elevator alone Of 50,-
600 bushels capacity. Cost $4,000.
Size 27X40x6O. Using home material
and labor we may be able to build for
$4,000.
2. Build row Of bins along north
wall of PARROT building to hold &c.
600 bushels in addition to the pres
ent capacity at cost of $4,000.
3. Install wheat mill at cost Of 81
100 as estimated by Mr.. Savage. We
may be able to get the Minis mill on
approval for much less.
We respectfully recommend that:
We buy the PARROT mill outright
and add the bins at the side of his
building and that we also install a
flour mill in the building.
We estimate that this can be done
at Il total cost of $4,000 which will
be the, capital stock necessary to be
raised. We recommend that the clc-
Nator and milling company thus or.
GaniZed be run ON Il plan analogous
to the cotton warehouse.

Yesterday the boys and girls of the
primary department did not march
into the building to the beat Of a
drum as usual, more up-to-date music
than that produced on a drum was
theirs. A big VictrOla had been
placed conveniently and was put into
action with one Of it's loudest and
most pleasing tunes. The children at
the Washington school were much
pleased with the new music for their
marching and no doubt the change
was as pleasant to the teachers also.

NO DEFINITE PLAN FORMED.

Conference Adopts Resolutions Look.
Ing to Relief Of Southern Cotton
Growers In Crisis.
Washington. Sept '2a.-Southern
governors and congressman conclud-
ed q series Of conferences here today
without determining upon any definite
plan for the relief of cotton planters
from conditions growing out of the
European war. While they resolved
that next years cotton acreage should
materially be reduced. no specific
means Of curtailment were agreed
upon.
The conferees agreed to attempt to
secure federal legislation that would
enable planters to obtain loans from
the banks on their surplus crop. while
prompt action was urged upon the
warehouse bill pending In the house
and upon the senate bill proposing
the Tereal Of the 10 per cent. tax on
State banks which participate In the
amended Aldrich- -vreeland emergency
currency act. They determined to at
tempt to maintain cotton prices above
10 cents a pound and q committee
was named to submit the conference
resolutions to President Wilson.
Resolutions were adopted LOOKING
to an effort to reduce acreage in 1916:
to conce. led efforts to secure federal
legislation for commission to pro-
mote the cotton trade, and to secure
the passage by congress Of acts to per-
init the extension Of credit In this

H. M. Cottrell Explains New

Wooden Tubes viii Keep Grain

Avoiding Congestion and De-
mOralizatiOn of Traffic.

The use Of silos for storing wheat
has been recommended by H. M. Cot

Rock Island Lines. Mr.. Cottrell, who
was in Topeka today, says that al

will be held for days and maybe for
weeks because there will be no place
in which to unload them. If the wheat
is marketed only SO fast as the eleva-

the marketing of the bulk of the crop
will actually be accomplished in less

the beginning and elevators and
freight traffic become congested and

Best Way to Stack 1t.
1.-The best way to handle wheat is
to stack 1t. Where the scarcity Of la
Dor makes stacking impossible, wheat
can be stored in silos until it is time
to fill them with green feed, and the
marketing of many million acres Of
wheat will be delayed for several
weeks.
THE wheat districts of the south
west are also the silo districts. There
are over seven thousand silOs in Kan
sas and over six thousand in Okla
homa. Few of these silos will be filled
before September 15, and many not
before October 20.

During Baseball War.
Unsettled Conditions Reduce
Interest, Comiskey Says.

Chicago, June 19.-Baseball gate
receipts have fallen on heavily and
three major leagues this year will
make less money han two did last
year. This statement was made yes-
-terday by Charles A. Comiskey, pres
ident of the Chicago Americans. Com
iskey declared that the public was
weary of the wranglings and contract
salaries which had thrown into tho
background the sporting features Of
the pastime.
Minor leagues will suffer the same
as the majors said Comiskey. "It
is all due to contract jumping and the
demoralized condition of the players.
There is no use trying to hide the true
state of affairs. The public sees the
true condition of the game even more
quickly than the players. 1t has been

owners and their agents. who have
brought baseball to the condition pre-
vailing at the present time.
