Il. The worlds consumption of
cotton will be considerably reduced
on account of the lessened buying
power of the warning nations of Eu-
rope. This will result in surplus
Of cotton which will inevitable force
the price downward. If by artific-
ial means we hold back this surplus
cotton from the market during the
next year and then If in twelve
months the war should cease and
the production and consumption be-
come normal, we would still have
this years surplus on hand to bear
the price. We will some time have
to take loss on this years crop and
! il is questionable If we should not
take the loss this year and let the
crop go at what it is worth rather
than to assume the chances and ex-
penses and damage of holding it
for better market. If we sell the
cotton at a reduced price this year
il will enable the mills to sell the
cloth at reduced price ard it will
stimulate the consumption and will
probably go far toward wiping out
the surplus of cotton that we would
otherwise have
20. We think the farmer should
be encouraged to hold the cotton
back so it can be marketed in an
orderly way and not for the market
to be Jared by an excessive offering
early in the season.
"3. The use of the warehouse
will assist in holding back the crop,
it will afford means for the banks
and the merchants who now have a
loan on the cotton to get possession
of their security and keep it in a
safe place and it will afford the
spectators chance to buy the cot
ton and store it in a safe place.
"a. In our opinion there will be
lno direct government aid either to
the grower or to the buyer and all
the loans based on cotton will hove
to be made as heretofore, direct be-
tween the customer and his bank and
the bank will assume their usual
plan of prudence and fell their way
as they go.
"5, The banks that now have
loans on growing cotton, will, if nee
essary, have to loan the farmer the
money to gather the crop. The gins
will probably bale and wrap the cot
! ton for the seed and then the banks
will want the cotton put in the ware
house or the cotton yards until there
is satisfactory market for it.
IS. The banks in the cities are
not going to lend money to the buy
ers until the buyers have the cotton
sold and can show the banks just
how and when they can get their
money back. In dealing with the
buyers, the banks in the cities will
not pay any attention to the ware
house or valorization scheme. What
they will want will be to have the
cotton move from the source of pro-
duction TO the fixed market The
banks cannot assume any other po-
sition for the reason that they can
not afford to speculate or to finance
any spectators in the crop and for
the further reason that 1t would take
more money than the banks have or
or could get to finance the crop
when it is not kept moving. There is
plenty of money in the country to
move all the crops that there is a

BANKERS TO
ASSIST FARMERS
Some See Loss and Advise Selling of
Cotton; Others Approve of Hold
ing the Staple and Advancing
Money.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Sep L.
Bankers in the cotton producing
section of Oklahoma are willing to
do all they may do to assist in get
ting the full value of the 1914 cot
ton crop This has been elected by
Benz. Hennessey, secretary Of the
State Board of Agriculture. Mr..
Hennessey wrote to the bankers in
the cotton belt few days ago ask
ing them for data and suggestions
on the cotton situation He has re-
ceived many replies. Most of these
indicate that the problems are re-
ceiving attention and that the cotton
is to be properly stored and insured
as a basis for the credits that the
banks are expecting to furnish.
Some of the letters that have been
sent in accompanying answers to
Mr. Hennessey's questions, are in
letter from the Farmers National
teresting as showing the views of the
men of affairs who wrote them. A
letter from the Farmers National
Bank of this city. takes the follow
ing view of the matter:
ITO begin with the banker and
the farmer are already partners in
the cotton business for the reason
that the banker has advanced large
per cent of the value of the cotton
for producing it and that burden he
has already digested and still has
ample resources as has been shown
by the last call for statements. The
crop is now ready for picking and
the natural and sensible thing for
the banker to do is to make an
other advance to his partner and
customer, sufficient to pick the cot
ton and the seed will pay for the
ginning and putting II into the bale.
When baled, the banker and the
farmer should agree on some place
for storage and when possible it
should be returned to the farm and
put under a good shed. The banker
could then re-write his loan on so
many bales Of cotton, which he
could insure and at the same time
make another advance to take care
of the grocer The new note thus
taken with the banks endorsement
could be re-discounted at the FEEDER

needed.
transaction would be to facilitate a
means of transportation and to make
deposits in the Federal Reserve
Bank where the cotton is located
I'VE do not wish to convey the
idea that the above mentioned would
eliminate all the, hardships but il
would distribute them and make il
possible for all interests to get by
without serious loss or embarrass-
ment."
The letter from the President OF
the American National Bank in this
city forecasts loss and advises tn,

ferring it by loans. But he advises
that the crop be placed on tine mar

to be a market for all of it at prices

will be no difficulty whatever in FL

~ We belive that there will be
a market for the crop, that the crop
will probably move slowly and that
the price will be lower than that of
recent years"

STATE FAIR ENTRIES ARE COMING GOOD
Eastern "Crack" and Best
 of Western Stables Be
 ing Entered for Fall Program; First Day to be Feature With 2:O3 Pace.

Although it is six weeks until the time of closing the entries of the Ari-. zona state fair, almost every day gives further assurance that the greatest racing ever seen in Arizona will occur at the Arizona state fair next Novem- Der. When the fair commission ar ranged to have ten great purses of $2,000 each, and nine smaller purses of $500 to 5000 each, they made just the right arrangements to catch the horse men. Nearly all the horses in Cali fornia have already entered, and word comes that the rest of them will send in their entries before the California circuit opens on August 31.
 More entries have been received from the cast than were ever received by any previous state fair, and the best part of it is that nearly every entry is a "crack' that has been thoroughly test ed on some middle west or the Grand Circuit before it's owner decided to enter at Phoenix. Both the east and the west are realizing more and more that the Arizona state fair-the last great meet of the season, where the east meets the west-is the real fight between the east and the west for rac- ing honors. No customer likes to bring his "crack" trotter or pacer all the way from the east and have it beaten by a western horse. Neither does the west ern horse owner care to lower his col- ors to the effete east.
 The great California stables of Bor- don, Montgomery. Durfee, Ward and Bowling and Delaney will be at the , fair to maintain the standard of the west. while Dinnie of North Dakota Burgitt. Thompson and Mcclure of Iowa, and McMahon of Illinois, Burnett ! of Oklahoma and Wornert and Ruth ben of Missouri, McVay of Kansas, Me Donald of Indiana and dozens of others of lesser note will be here to contest for the final honors of the year.
 | Never in the histry of the fair have been so many good ones entered. and entered so early in the season, and from every section of the United States Arizona is certainly on the racing map
 The fair commission is making an eff fort to have the best program of tho fair for the first day. The first da, is going to be hummer" from star to finish.
 On this day will be the 2:03 pace ant every horse in the race will have record of 2:03 and better, and on tn, same day the 2:07 pace is scheduled and the list is already more than filled with "crack" pacers from every plac, in the United States.

STATE ORDERS AUTO
 TAGS FOR NEXT YEAR
5000 Black and White Numbers Will Be Displayed by Arizona Mo
 torists in 1915

Bids on furnishing the state of and seals were opened yesterday at the office of the secretary of state and the contract awarded to the Grimm Stamp and Badge company of St. Louis. The same company se- cured the contact for furnishing 1000 motorcycle tags, as well as 200 dealers and temporary number plates. There were seven bidders. Pinney & Robinson of this city were successful in landing the contract for furnishing 800 cheauffeur badges
 The new auto tags will be slight ly larger than those in use at pres ent, measuring by 13 inches and carrying black figures four inches high, on a white ground. The 1914 tags are just foot long and four and one-half inches high. The mo- torcycle tags will be of the same size and design as those now in use.
 Some objection has been made to the increase in size of the tags on the ground that the strap holes would be too wide to fit the hangers now in use. In this connection it was stated last night that the open ings would be the same distance apart as those of the 1914 license plates.
 The new tags will cost the state twenty cents per pair, dealers and temporary plates being quoted at the same figure. The motorcycle num- bers come at six cents each, and the little round seals worn by every mo- tor vehicle in the state are furnished at two and one-quarter cents each. The contract calls for delivery of the tags and seals by December 1.

The Rev. Mr.. Guthrie Addresses the
Order on ''The characteristics of
the Greatest Citizenship.-

At the First Church Sunday evening the
Rev. l.. q. Guthrie preached to the Odd
Fellows of Burlington. The subject of
the sermon was The Characteristics Of
the Greatest Citizenship"
Mr.. Guthrie exhortcd to a wider in
terest which make fraternal orders and
societies moro and more units IN a
larger loyalty to the Kingdom of God.
He urged against the kind of loyalty
which would make them Odd Fellows
and little else, or Masons and little else.
The loyalty which their orders really de-
manded, he implied. was the loyalty
which would make them good members
of their orders and therefore much else.
He touched mon the quest for the
simple life, which is one Of the active
principles of our time. The simple life
which men seek in the country may or
may not be real. But there is one real
simplicity; the simple life which comes
when the divided aims and allegiances
are gathered up into the one supreme
allegiance.
