MEETING CALLED
 10 START MOVEMENT
For Holding of Cotton, and To Limit Acreage of Next Years
 Cotton Crop.

Newport, Ark, Sept. IT, IA: To Citizens of Jackson County:
 At the solicitation of a great many, ] have called meeting of .all the farmers, merchants and bankers of this county to con- ve"e at the court house at New port, or September 19, 1914.
 The purpose of this meeting is to devise a method of holding our cotton and at the same time dIverSifying our next years crop to suit our adverse condi- tions, Knowing as we do that we cannot put ali the cotton crop on the market this season, which means that approximately five or six million bales will have to be carried over for another seas on, proving conclusively that we should cut down our acreage at least 50 per cent for the year 1915, we consider it your person. al duty to meet for said adjust ment as far as Jackson county is concerned.
 A suggestion-Our opinion is that wheat is the quickest mon- ey and most profitable crop and should we decide this, it is time that we take action for prepara- tion of ground and selection of seed. This, in our belief, is the real money crop for the next sea- son and we want you to come, that we may have the benefit of your honorable opinion. So come.
 Your honorable servant,
 c. B. COZ.

Educational work among parents
was emphasized generally by the
speakers. Miss Rich declared that
parents know little OF the nature Of
work needed or best suited to their
children and It was the duty Of edu-
Gators to teach them what is needed.
Speakers during the sessions have
said that in some Of the states en-
ployers are being educated along with
children to the evils Of child labor
but today education of parents was
contended to be the best method of
proper rearing Of children who have
less than the average advantages in

D'kNIGHTS LETTER.
DeKnight wrote Bowles Offering to
work for the elimination Of the rail-
road ship section. Bowles accepted the
offer and both letters were PUT in the
record.
On March 2s. 1919. DeKnight wrote
Bowles:
81 have put myself in touch with
Congressman Knowland. who will be
the chief opponent In the house to
the bill. know Mr.. Knowland and
will co Operate with him 10 the fullest
extent. From present indications it
may be impossible to prevent the pas
sage Of the bin through the house but
/ think various tactics can be en-
ployed in the senate that will prevent
the bill from reaching a vote"
Writing to Bowles August Z, De-
knight referred to a conference be-
tween President Taft, Secretary slim
son, Representative KnowIand and
several other congressman. Secretary
Stimson. he said, desired to have the
entire matter go over until next ses-
sion." but Knowland had declared he
would resist this. Mr.. Taft, the let
ter said, refused to take sides.
'1 think he was favorable to the
delay. but did not wish to express
himself wrote DeKnight. NOW he
has seen the handwriting on the wall
and Is for prompt action. I under
stand that Senator Root was the one
who prompted Stimson to ask for de-
lay and is against free tolls. II the
bill goes through 1t will perhaps serve
to embarrass Senator Root with the
people.
