RUMORED THAT
GRAND JURY IS
To De CALLED
JUDGE EOOLEMAN STATED THIS
MORNING THAT IF PEOPLE
WANTED IT HE WOULD ISSUE
THE CALL. PRETTY EXPENSIVE

There was rumor on the streets
yesterday afternoon that a grand jul
ry would be called for a sweeping
Investigation of conditions as they
are alleged to exist here at present.
Judge Eddleman when interviewed
this morning stated that he had made
no such statement, but if the citi-
zens of Carter county wanted a
grand jury he would issue the call,
as it was the taxpayers who paid
the bills and were entitled to grand
jury if they wanted it,
Just where the rumor started is
hard to determine, but sinister talk
has been heard on the streets and
some are very anxious for a sweep
ing investigation The last session
of special grand jury called by
Judge Russell upon petition of the
people was productive of little re-
suits and for that reason Judge Ed
dleman is going to be sure that the
necessity exists before making the
call on his own initiative. However,
he would be compelled to do so if
the necessary petition was presented
to him.

THE SIXTEEN TIL
COTTON SITUATION TO BE DIS
CUSSED BY DELEGATES FROM
ENTIRE STATE. MUskoGEE AL
so WANTS CONVENTION.

A statewide convention has been
called to meet at Oklahoma City
Wednesday. September 10 to consider
and provide ways and means to carry
over the cotton crop, or that is, that
part of it which will necessarily
have to be held until matters adjust
themselves, so that foreign nations
will take the oyerplus; also to dis
cuss means whereby a small acre
age will be planted in cotton next
year. President Mullen of the cham
ber of commerce will also appoint a
committee of two or three to attend
the statewide meeting to be held at
Muskogee on the 18th, at which time
and place the cotton situation will be
discussed in detail.
There will perhaps be three dele
gates appointed to attend the meet
ing at Oklahoma City. 1t is under
stood that the chamber of commerce
will defray the expenses of the del
egates to both conventions. 1t is
conceded by all that there must be
concert of action, not only of the
entire state but of the entire south
in handling the cotton situation, and
by all working in harmony there is
absolutely no doubt but that the
matter will eventually adjust itself.
Citizens who think they will be able
to attend either the convention at
Muskogee or Oklahoma City will call
Up ]. S. or Val Mullen, phone 16l,
so they will know the time of meet
ing. etc. Let everyone get hold of
the wheel and do a little pushing
and boosting. and especially must
Ardmore and Carter county do her
part. Get busy.

BUY A BALE

MANY APPLICANTS RECEIVED

PLAN is GENERAL THEME.

The buy bale movement in this
section is sweeping through the
county and many applications from
inland towns and rural communities
were received yesterday by Secre-
tary West of the chamber of com
merce for membership.
The all absorbing talk on the
streets yesterday and last night was
the buy bale club. There are a
very few who oppose the movement
but when questioned as to their rea-
sons can give none other than in
their opinion it will not be success
full. In the meantime the clubs
throughout the nation continue to
grow and President Wilson has al
ready become the owner of three
bales.
A majority of the people talked to
yesterday state that they are buying
cotton at ten cents per pound and
expect to make good profit when
it is sold, although the market price
will probably be under that figure
this season. Their intention is to
store that cotton and forget about
it until the price gets around fifteen
cents at some future time and then
unload. The buyers of the cotton
are not in the cotton business and
