Cotton Warehouses.


Ardmore, Okla, Sept 9. 1914.
Editor Ardmoreite: The building
Of cotton warehouses In thousands Of
towns in the southern states appears
10 the writer TO be a useless ex-
pense Of millions Of dollars. There
have always been cotton warehouses
in the large interior cities Of the
south, for the past IS years. These
were constructed simply az a bust
ness 20 charge for the storage, sam
pling. handling and responsibility OF
protection and safety. Merchants in
the small interior towns buy cotton
from farmers. They then consign
by shipment 10 cotton factor firms in
cities like St Louis, Memphis, Hous-
ton and others, this cotton is hauled
by drays from railroad depot TO ware
houses. The factor then sells it TO
regular cotton buyers, either foreign
or domestic The factor then sends
a statement Of sales to the small
merchant VINO ships 10 him. The sale
OF a bale Of cotton would appear

THE COTTON SITUATION
.ITOR or ARDMOREITE:

Your editorial a few days ago on
the cotton situation was timely, and
contained food for thought You
missed the mark a little, however, in
attributing the discomfort among the
farmers to socialists entirely. It is
true that the political socialist agita-
tor is now in his glory; nothing re-
joices his soul so much as human
misery for this gives him an opportuni-
~ to exercise his favorite amusement.

the human family Starting out with
the theory that whatever Is, is

the city OF Memphis, Tenn, and re-
ceived in two months 10000 bales,
two.thirds as much as the total re-
ceipts Of Ardmore for a whole sea
son C25,OOO balesJ. The warehouse
only had a capacity for 5000 bales,
leaving 1000 bales stored on va
cant lots Now all that is necessary
to protect cotton Is TO build a fence
either OF boards or wire to protect
it from cattle or thieves from hauling
it away. Head the bales up on Axe
skids, two bales together, 100 bales
in a row, put a piece Of canvas tar
paulin four feet wide by 100 feet
long over the top ends Of the bales
and tie the sides Of the tarpaulin to
the baggng down half way from the
top Of the bales and it will be fully
protected from the weather Rains
cannot soak into it and the skids
put it six inches above ground out
Of any mud or wet grounds. The
rows can be made eight or ten feet
apart and should any of it catch on
fire it would be a very easy matter
to pull them away from the other
bales and prevent the loss of only
those that were burning. BY this
method there is very little danger
of any loss by fire, and very light
insurance needed, but if all the cot
ton was in a warehouse nothing could
be saved Where there is a cotton
compress the above methods OF hand
ling would prove even better as the
bales as they come from farmers
wagons could be sampled and bored
for mixes and then compressed and
piled up as above Compressed
cotton does not burn rapidly and rain
cannot soak into the compressed
bales. The L. 5. government reserve

IL be kept in warehouses to prevent
it being stolen and know it is al

every bale checked up and produced
when sold and called for, but where
local interest and money is concern
ed this handling of it is many times
cheaper and better than warehous.
ing Canvas tarpaulins. skids and
fencing saving in insurance are ma
ny times cheaper than expensive
warehouses; it does not cost much

prevent stealing and loss by fire.
Should any of the bales catch fire
he would see it at once and pull
them out of the way of other bales
The only way to keep up prices
Of cotton is for farmers making 20
bales and over to market only one
fifth of them each month-four bales
in October. November, December. Jan
uary and February-and borrow what
they need on unsold bales. This
would force the price to 15c or
more. O. p. T.

SNOW MAPS OF
 WATER BASIN
Show That There Is a Good Fall On High Hills, Though Not Visible at Dam; Briggs Comes Back On "Red Snow.'

To refute the rumors that there is no snow on the watershed the United States weather bureau has prepared a map showing the covered areas in the MogollOns, White and Sierra Ancha ranges, the same to be sent to Wash ingtOn at once
 Although. there is not an immense body Of snow on the hill tops, still the snow area is as large as last year. The north side of the Sierra Ancha range is heavily banked. And people who go to Roosevelt and see no snow are peeved and say there ain't no such ami mal The largest body is in the White mountains around Baldy peak, where the local weather observers will go in a few weeks to make measurements and to set snow scales for the next winters observation.
 The weather map has the snow area colored red. To questions concerning red snow, Section Director Briggs vest erday produced a monograph on just this subject, Red Snow with color photos of patches of it. Red Snow is formed by coating of a certain min ute algae- plant on the surface of snow banks. Of course it is simply a nat ural phenomenon, but it was a good someb back, at that.

ahead and shoot as the state of Mis- souri licenses them to do. His re- marks were just what the crowd wanted.
 An official letter from the state game warden at Jefferson City stated that he would take no part in ar resting or prosecuting violators of the federal law. It was stated that cne deputy game warden had sent back federal commission that had been furnished him. Hunters who have inquired of the federal district attorney at Kansas City as to what action his office would take in prose- cutting violators of the migratory blrd law. reported that he told them he had received instructions to take no action until further notice.
 After many spirited talks in which the sentiment was expressed ir no uncertain terms that what the duck hunters of Missouri and Kansas want is action of some kind. immed lately. a permanent organization was formed by electing Dr. s. H. Ragan, president ". l.. Moore, secretary; and F. F. Swinney. treasurer Vice presidents were named by the presi- dent as follows: D. c. Phillips, Mo- berly. Mo; A. J. Bundschu, lnde- pendence. Mo; II. L. Newdeck. Kan sas City, Kas. Other ce-presidents will be added from both states. A nominal initiation fee of fifty cents was collected. It is expected that by the time the next meeting is held several thousand members from the two states will have allied them selves with the movement.
 The organization went on record as favoring a test case of the law and pledged financial support to any member arrested for violation thereof. All the big shooting clubs of Kansas City were represented, and there will be no trouble about rais ing plenty of money to defend any duck hunter who is brought before federal judge. Several hunters

VERDE
 FLOOD WATER
Department of the Interior Sends In Order Making Rate of One Half Carry ing Charge for Torrents In Verde Creek.

Following closely on the good tid- ings that the congressional commit tees had agreed upon terms of a ten year time extension bill for water users, came yesterday the news that the department of the in terior had granted the reclamation engineers request to come through with a reduction on the price of Verde flood water.
 Verde flood water will hereafter be delivered to the farmers of the Salt river project for half the ordinary carrying charge-up to March 18th was what came in a telegram to the local offices of the |. $. k. s. yes terday.
 And coupled with this, came the information from Fossil creek that there was a big rain in the noun tains and that the Verde would have big flood right soon. The reduction in the price of Verde flood water to the farmers comes after a request made on the recla- nation service by the w. |. A. some days since. It was pointed out that the water was available, and would be wasted unless sold, and that the government might just as well deliver it free or at a reduced carrying rate

Roosevelt District

The regular meeting of the local lodge of the Farmers Educational and C0-Operative Union will be held on Saturday evening, Feb. 21. at 500 ?. m. Several applications for membership have been received and il looks as if the union was going to be a power in the community.
 The attendance at the Bible school last Sunday came very near to be- ing a lecord breaker and the super intendent and members were well pleased. It was cradle roll' day and Mrs. Wheeler took charge. This is a new department and at present there are tWenty-seven babies under four years of age on the roll.
 The total cleared from the can tata was about $30 not counting the $11 that was stolen. This money gees toward $50 payment on a piano, the board of trustees making up the balance. The school hereby extends it's word of gratitude to the trustees for their help.

action will be taken if the telegrams to Washington failed to get results. It was the concensus of those pres ent at the meeting that the govern ment did not welcome test of the law, but hoped to stall off the hunt CTS till too late to get any shooting this spring. SpOrtsmen were present from points two hundred miles dis tant. and the meeting was attended by many of Kansas City's busy and influential men. But all were a unit in denOuncing a law that permits other states the cream of the shoot ing and gives Missouri and Kansas the 'skimmins.' And all were of the mind that they wouldn't stand for it. Since the Kansas City meeting, meetings have been held in Kansas. and the sportsmen are rapidly or ganiZing to fight the law.

tendance the first five months was fraction over 125. The extra eX- pense created this year will be met by special apportionment from the state funds, and it is also hoped there will be a balance at the close of the school year. It pays to keep up the attendance.
 The plans for the new addition to the school buildings are being drawn up, and a sketch of them is in the hands of the principal and the tax payers and patrons are requested to call and look them over. They do hot call for an auditorium or large study hall, which would cost about S5000 extra. However, the trustees would like to hear from the voters as to whether they would like to have a large study hall at this time. There are nearly enough pupils now to fill six of the seven rooms which there will be according to the pre- sent. plan. A gain of forty pupils will mean starting in with d full house next September 4 and necessi- tate another bond issue next spring. With large study hall the situation can be nicely handled for several years to come, to say nothing of the many advantages of an assembly room for the school and the com- munity. The principal on the bonds will not have to be paid for five years. in which time the valuation of the property in the district will in crease considerably, thus cutting down the percentage of taxation on the bonds The present valuation is S1,124,000

 "A committee composed of P. H. Bowler, Dr. Van Quasi and Dr. Tes- son was named by the chair to draft bylaws for the organization. A committee composed of J. L. Head, Vernon Greene and Harry Hoffman was instructed to send telegrams to Senator James A. Reed, Speaker Champ Clark and Congressman Bor- land, informing them of the action of the meeting and asking in the name of three hundred Missourians that the regulations be changed so as to give this state a fair season for duck shooting.
 The congressman and senators were asked to work to secure a third zone to be called the passing zone which would take in Kansas and A1lSSOuIl IHeN were dlSO asked to vote against the treaty with Great Britain, which, if passed. will make it impossible for the states to de- clare the Weeks Mclean law uncon- stitutional.

SOME DEMOS
 APPOINTMENTS
Rumor Comes to Bat With the Names of Several Good Democrat Follow CTS for State and Federal Jobs.

Speaking of the new incumbents in former republican held offices in the state and nation a well known democrat yesterday said that it was a very un- certain proposition He referred, of course, to the policy of MT. Wilson to let things drift as long as possible un- der old regimes.
 But there is little breeze stirring in the Arizona political field. even if ev- erybody is trying to make out it's still and calm. Rumor that flOated down out of office buildings, struck the streets and rebOunded into the sight and hearing of the public hath it that George A. Olney, chairman of the state central committee of the demos will have his cart backed up ready to take on load of gubernatorial honors when the primary comes off. Friends of Mir Hunt, are congratulating themselves that this will add another shot to their locker. in the way of dividing the con servatives still further and leaving the present incumbent with but Worsely to fight
 Rumor also hath it that Tom Shaughnessy, present deputy county assessor will be named as clerk to the fair commission. Tom has been the assistant clerk and has done a great deal of work for the commission-par- ticularly with reference to the gee gees
 In the third round, Rumor comes out of his corner and announces that Hon. Wiley F. Jones and young Moeur. son of the Marie6fa supervisor will be the two assistant Knitted States attorneys as soon as MT. Hymns confirmed in office and can make the appointments
 As MT. Flynn takes over his new office within a very short time, the rumors have great liklihood of being either confirmed or swept away as shadows by the rising sun before many of them have looked upon this earth.

RULE APPLIED ONLY
 ID FOREIGN MAILS

A few days ago there was very generally published an item to the effect that the prepayment of post age on first class mail matter was no longer essential-that any defl- ciency would be made good at the other end, though with a penalty of double postage for collection.
 But this is all wrong, for orders received today from the post office department indicate that any changes made refer only to foreign mails, not materially changing the regula- tions now in force.
 If the same rule were applied to domestic mail there wolud be re- joicing in the post offices. but no change has yet been made in the manner of handling domestic mail
