imposition of any tax at all on hedge
trading in government approved con-
tracts. They say the constitution
plainly limits the taxing power to
raising revenue for the actual needs
of government, and that a tax on
contract trading in cotton would not
only be unjust to the cotton trade,
but would be an abuse to the taxing
power.

In view of what General sherman
said about war we wonder how he
would characterize this.
If you want clean. sanitary stores,
markets and dairies-we all say we
do-stop buying from merchants,
market men. and dairymen who fail
to serve clean wholesome foods and
milk. Practice this and there will
soon be no necessity for food insepc-
tion.
Dirt and filth accumulate ell the
time and If neglected soon become
ugly. unsightly and dangerous.
Cleanliness and beauty can only be
maintained by constant vigilance and
labor.
No janitor or teacher should ever
be employed in a school who is suf-
fering from a disease that would de-
bar child from school. Mr.. School
Director, It is time to inquire into
the health of the teacher and jani-

1t is only twenty years ago that
medical inspection in schools was
started in the United States, and yet
at this time there is less than five
towns in Oklahoma who have taken
up this work. How many repeaters,
or laggards, in your schools? There
is a reason for a pupil failing to
make his grades. Nine times out
of ten It is due to some physical de-
feet that can be and should be re-
moved. Mr.. School Director multi
ply the number of your repeaters
by the per capita cost and you will
have the amount this neglect has
cost your taxpayers. Proper medi-
cal inspection will eliminate this
and the advantage to these laggard
pupils cannot be estimated in dollars
and cents.

will be available the entire year IL
possible. This is the way to raise
cheap pork.
1t is highly desirable that the
dairy cows be provided with grazing
crops at this season of the year and
that crops be planted now for graz
ing later on. Where the pasture is
wild grass or abandoned cultivated
fields weeds are apt to be found
growing luxuriantly and as the cows
do not discriminate very well the
milk is apt to have bad taste and
odor as a result. About the only
way to prevent this is to take the
cows off these pastures, which of
course, means that other pastures
should be available. Where early
crops are sown for grazing it is an
easy matter to change.
Such as oats, rye, barley, wheat,
etc, are the earliest crops and these
may be grazed, usually, until the
weeds get so tough the COWS will not
eat them or the grass gets tall
enough for good grazing, which
amounts to the same thing.
1t pays to keep good cows and II
is poor economy to fail in providing
plenty of the right kinds of feed
And natures balanced ration-grass
lis hard to improve upon. Where
there are only few cows it will not
require very large permanent pas
ture nor large acreage of grazing
crops and no area of the farm will
be more profitable, if the cows are
what they should be and the grazing
yields as it should.

FARM NOTES.
(From Farm and Raneh.l }


BE liberal around the poultry
house. pens and coops in the use of
reliable insect powders, lime. and
other disinfectants and the shovel.
One secret of successful poultry rails
ing is to keep ahead always of YER
min and disease.
Eggs to be set should be uniform
as nearly as possible, in shape, size
and color Avoid setting eggs un-
usually long or short and round that
are motled in color or spotted, or
chat are rough and wrinkled. The
more perfect the eggs set the more
perfect will be the hatch and the
chickens.
There are two things few farmers
can have on the place at the same
time. and they are rats and small
chicks. There is nothing more try
ing to the good farm-wife than to
bring off a brood of downy babies
only to go out the following morning
TO find most of them dead and miss,
ing. Get rid or the rats, and stay
rid of them by shutting them of
from feed and shelter.
If you feed all the birds-littlt
ones and large ones-together the
younger ones are likely not to gel
enough and be trampled on This
is easily overcome by having a sep
arate feeding pen for the smaller
birds, with cracks or openings to ad-
init them, but too small to let in the
larger. Such pen may be made OF
wide mesh poultry netting and its
size will depend of course, on the
number of chicks to be fed.
Pigs require pasture for best re-
suits. AS soon as they are old
enough to Craze they should have &

,ent food OF the right kind. plenty O.

and that the scarcity OF good seed
creates problem in some sections
of the belt. Alabama, Mississippi,
and Texas have reported young cot
ton killed by low temperatures.
South Georgia SENS to have escaped
damage to young cotton. But, on
the whole, the prospect for a full
movement of new bales in July and
August has apparently been elimin-
ated. However, the size of the crop
is not so dependent on favorable
weather in March and April as is
the early movement, and the 1914
g crop may yet pan out large one.
Meanwhile. the good trade
abroad shows a distinctly healthy
tone. American mills, in some cas-
es. complain of accumulations But
the absorption of American cotton
by mills of the world continues on an
enormous scale in spite of the fact
that, according to the experts, exist
ing stocks contain fully 100000
bales which cannot be used by 90
per cent of the mills. At New Or
leans the stock is $4,000 bales larg-
er than last year, but spot cotton
men say that the quantity of tender
able cotton in the New Orleans stock
is less than at this time vast year.
The excess in stocks at all ports is
$4,000 bales. In the week stocks
at the counted interior towns de-
creased 10000 bales, against 25.-
900 last year.
Liverpool advises: india now
will fill her wants in goods and
yearns for the autumn and winter
months, and Lancashire looms will
soon be busy again Above all
we require peace and quiet"
In this connection, the legislative
situation at Washington is now Civ
ing the cotton trade far more con-
cern than is the turbulence in Mex
leo. The cotton trade needs a world
wide standard of cotton types. It
also needs a standardized hedge.
Eighteen leading American and five
leading European Cotton Exchanges
have agreed on an international
standard of cotton grades. and Liv-
erpool is now using these types. The
United States Congress is struggling
with legislation intended to regulate
and standardize hedge trading.
The Smith-Smith bill. which the
/ Senate has passed, would create un-
form conditions of trading at New
York and New Orleans. This bill de-
nies the use of the mails to traders
who use a future contract which
does not conform to the law.
In the House. the object sought
by the Smith-Smith bill is sought by
Congressman Lever and others, but
under a different form of penalty
that of a prohibitive tax on non.
standard contracts, and a small taz
on standard contracts. Cotton men
approve a prohibitive tax on non.

TO THE FARMERS OF BRYAN
COUNTY:
/ arrived in your county last Mon
day night and have refrained from
making any public comment until
made some Investigations. While l
have been over but a small portion
of the county, find some very Sc
rious mistakes the farmers are MAX
ing, viz:
The lack OF preparation of the
seed bed. The careless selection of
seed. and improper methods of cul-
tivatioa.
You are in great need of more
livestock. Horses, mules, cattle, hogs
and with all, poultry. I see many
farms without even a chicken. These
conditions must be remedied IL the
best results are obtained on the
farm. Any community in any coun-
try that farms under a one crop sys-
tenn and raises but little livestock is
bound to drag; there is no way on
earth out of it.
These are the principles I am go-
ing to urge in your county. have
been through the mill myself and l
know by experience. will take up
each subject, one at a time, and try
and have an article in all your
county papers each week through
the growing season.
It will be impossible for me to Wis
it every farmer in the county soon.
But 1 will get around as fast as pos
sible and any information you desire
let me know and will do all in my
power to furnish the information
promptly.
There are many changes you need
in your rural districts. You need
roads on every section line, wherev-
er possible; it is not only more con-
venient but helps to beautify your
county; you need more rural tele-
phone lines. Every farm home
should have a telephone. They
have become an indispensable asset
on the farm. So try and have all
these things and get all the pleasure
and profit you can out of your la.
Dor.

The M. K. T. Ry. company has
this week built heavy ornamental
wooden fence along Main street
from the old Rains hotel to the
tracks, cutting off access to the right
of way ground just north of the

ans have made a habit of cutting
across the lot as a quicker means Of
reaching the depot, and the danger
from switching freight cars has been
great, hence the fence.

ARMY OF VOTERS

That there is no lack of interest or
enthusiasm among Republicans in the
present campaign was amply demon
strated last night when a record
breaking crowd Of members Of the
party gathered at the Young Mems
Republican Club. No. so King street.
and greeted the Republican Congress
sional, State, county and legislative
nominees.
The scene of many largely-attended
receptions In the past, the Republican
Club never had larger attendance at
a similar social and political function
than last night, when It was estimated
that more than two thousand voters
had called to shake the hands of the
party's standard bearers in the pres
ent campaign. In addition to extend
ing the glad hand of cooperation, the
callers lost no opportunity to speak
optimistically OF the outlook for Re
publican success.
"The feeling of Republican victory
is among the voters" was the senti-
ment expressed by many Of the call
ers throughout the city, who added
that Democratic depression alone
would swing hundreds of voters into
the Republican column for the first
time.

success was brought by party worker
