STATE AID FOR THE PLANTER.
Senator Simmons Proposes States
Buy Fourth of Cotton Crop.

Washington, Sept. H.-State action
in aid OF the cotton growers was to-
dav proposed by Senator Simmons,
of North Carolina. His programme
contemplates the purchase by each
cotton State of one-fourth of the cot
ton produced by it during 1914 at
% cents a pound. eight cents a
pound to be advanced at time of pur-
chase in non-interest bearing bonds
of the State, said bonds to be re-
deemable on or before January l.,
1916, in cash or 4 per cent. bonds
at the option of the State. If the
price of midding cotton remains be-
low 10 cents when the State shall
have purchased one-fourth of its
crop, the Simmons plan requires that
the State shall continue to buy Until
it has obtained 35 per cent. Of the
1914 crop unless the price does not
sooner reach 10 cents. None OF the
cotton bought by the State is to be
sold before November |, 1915. for
less than 10 cents. nor before June
!. 1916 for less than / cents. AS
soon as the cotton is sold the State
is to pay the growers from whom 1t
was purchased the excess above )
cents for which the State sold 1t.
Senator Simmons at the same time
proposes that the State impose pur-
chase tax Of 30 cents bale on all
lint cotton sold within the State. the
proceeds of this tax to be used to
safeguard the State against any loss
sustained in the purchase and hold
ing of cotton by the State. The State
also to impose tax of l cent
pound on all lint cotton grown with
in it's borders during 1918, provided
said tax shall be remitted If cotton
acreage in the States does not exceed
60 per cent. of the acreage in 1914,
and to be remitted to any individual
grower whose acreage is not more
than 60 per cent of his acreage TINS
year.
The whole Simmons scheme is con-
ditioned on its adoption by States
producing at least two-thirds OF the
cotton raised in this country in 1914.
The senator believes that the adop-
ton of his plan would force the
price of the staple in open market
to 10 cents and that the manufactur-
ers will be able to make fine profit
at that figure. President Barrett, or
the Farmers Union. and committee
representing that organization will
be here tomorrow and will urge up
on congress and the president the
unions proposition that the govern
ment shall itself purchase 100000
bales Of the present cotton crop. The
support behind this idea is stronger
than is generally supposed and is
increasing.

SEPTEMBER.

I'm glad I'm not a kid just now,
For l would wear wrinkled brow
And walk along with tagging feet,
And find existence far from sweet.
I'm glad I'm not a kid just now,
And feel just like lovesick COW,
And amble on my weary way
And yearn all week for Saturday.
I'm glad I'm not a kid just now,
And to teacher have to bow,
And labor at arithmetic
And other stuff that makes you sick
l often wish | were a kid,
And live the life that l once did,
But when September comes, some
how,
I'm glad I'm not a kid just now.

ROMANCE IN STAMPS.
Some Valued Issues Came Out Under
Peculiar Circumstances.

Not little of the fascination which
the study and collecting OF postage
stamps holds for enthusiasts lies in
| the fact that the story of their origin
and subsequent history is, in many
cases. of an exceedingly romantic
character.
The single known copy Of the rar-
est stamp in the world, valued at
S10,0 0,00O-the one-cent British Guia-
ma issued in 1S56-was discovered
by a young collector in the colony
among some old family papers stored
away in an attic. Knowing nothing
OF it's scarcity, and not being favor
ably impressed by its appearance, he
sold it to another collector for
trifiing sum, the purchaser also being
ignorant of his great bargain. Cl-
timately it found its way to Europe
and now reposes in the collection OF
Nj. Philippe de la Renotiere, of Paris,
who purchased it many years ago.
The value of s7,250 is placed up
on the famous "Postoffice Mauritius'
stamp, which was crudely engraved
on small copper plate by a local
matchmaker of Port Louis. and Is
sued on September 21, 1S47. A to-
tai of only 500 copies Of each of these
stamps were tediously printed of
one at time from the plate, and the
majority of these we're used on invi-
tations to a bali sent out by Lady
Comm, wife of the governor of the
colony.
1t was not until nearly 20 years
after their issue that the first two
copies of these rarities were brought
| TO light by young stamp collector
! OF Bordeaux. The most perfect used
copy OF the 2nd Postoffice Mauritius
was sold by auction in 1904, and is
now included in the collection Of
King George OF England.

Bamberg is now and always has
been leader. So far as we have
observed the Carlisle school, of Bam-
berg, is the only school in the State
offering to accept cotton in part pay
ment of term fees for boys and girls
attending the school. The school
has issued letters offering to receive
cotton at ten cents per pound on tu-
ition and other fees.

MEETING IS
CALLED FOR
BALL FANS
Demand for Semi-ProfeSsionaI
Team Unanimous and Plans
to be Made Feb. Is.

A mass meeting of ball fans for
February 25 was called this morning
by number of enthusiastic citizens
who had conference on the posi-
bilities of a semi-professional ball
team in Grand Junction.
Spring fever is renewing interest
in the national pastime and after
tossing the horsehide a few times
against the house, several old-time
fans this morning announced them
selves as ready to see a game.
James H. Rankin. who by the way,
was a director in the Western Iowa
league for several years, is one of
the moving spirits. Frank L.. Car
son, who has made his dent in West
ern Colorado semi-pro ball. is another
and A. F. Relender, who one time
headed the Smudgers' organization
makes an active third.
The sentiment among the baseball
speaking citizens of the community
appears united for a fast team. The
amateur stuff of the past two or
three years has been passingly sat
isfactory but the real dyed-in-the-
wool fans have sort of graduated and
are yearning for the good old days
of Goldsworthy and Jimmy Moore
head.
NJ. o. Delaplain. H. F. Vorbeck.
George Reed. Charley Lumley and
several other veterans of the bleach
ers are joining in the movement
and the meeting was called to sound
out the sentiment of the community

INDUCES in big league class Cameo

Ouray has always been able to sup
port dangerous squad If there was
enough competition. Telluride is to
get into the game better than ever
this year. Some of the sports of that
lively community are already talking
about putting in some old leaguers
to strengthen up their home guards
and If Ouray gets fussy she will have
her ancient adversary to contend
with.
Glenwood. in former years, was the
most cordial enemy Grand Junction
had on the ball field and Johnny
Richardson always had a bunch that
could be depended on to deserve a

been taken up with the Bathtowners
and an effort will be made to get
them in the circuit.
During the height of the season
exhibition games can be played with
the Denver leaguers on their rest
days. while Trinidad. Fort Collins,
the Colorado Springs Zooz and other
good towns can be depended on for
occasional games. One of the east

ANNUAL FIGHT ON
FOR ASSOCIATION
FRUIT DIRECTORS
Candidates ilustIfng Proxies and
a Big Crowd Will Attend
the Annual Meeting.

The annual fight for directors of
the Grand Junction Fruit Growers
Association is on in full swing, and
the annual meeting to be held at the
Majestic theater in this city promises
to bring out the largest attendance
in years.
While there is spirited contest
for the directorships. the fight Is not
bitter or as personal as has charac-
terized these contests in the past. and
the meeting is expected to be very
harmonious. The recent acquisition
of the Palisade Fruit Growers Asso-
citation will add strength to the can
didates from the upper valley, and
Palisade expects to name three and
possibly four of the nine directors.
The directors of the association have
agreed that the stockholders of the
old Palisade association shall have
voting power in the coming annual
course, receive the dividend earned
last year.
The chances are that there will be
some changes in the personnel of the
board, although probably a majority
of the old directors will be reelected.
