The mystery OF the poor percentage
30 far achieved by the Boston Braves

Stallings for teacher and Evers for
agitator to accomplish wonders and
cannot understand why It has fallen
down. It's easily understood, however,
according to Lee Magee OF st. Louis.
Everybody expected to SEQ lot of

says Magee. well. the inside ball Is
there all right, but it's so far inside
that they can't get It out In time"

the part which said not to hamper

them mental freedom. to allow their
minds to work out problems their own
way. and always TO answer their ques-
tions. because they may be working to

WILL HEAR COMPLAINTS
ON PRICE OF GINNING

Oklahoma City. Oct S.-The corpor-
alton commission on October IL will
hear number Of. complaints from the
cotton growers In various sections OF
the state alleging excessive charges
for ginning cotton The complaints
are coming chiefly from towns where
there is no competition, where prices
are said to be higher than in towns
where there are two or more gins.
About a year ago the corporation
commission fixed the price for gin
ming cotton at Chandler but the case
was appealed to the state supreme
court, where it is still pending. Tn
til this is decided it will not be clear
whether the commission has the pow
er to regulate the charges for ginning
cotton.

THE PRICE OF COTTON
SEED is CLIMBING UP

Gadsden, Ala. Oct. S.-Cotton seed
is now selling for SIS per ton in Gads-
den and the farmers are selling large
quantities.
A few weeks ago the price was
down to Sl2 a ton and nobody could
understand why. Cotton seed oil be-
ing food product, it was natural to
expect the raw seed TO advance when
war was declared but the reverse
was true. From S12 the price has grad
ually crept up until this week, when
SIS was first offered
At this last figure the farmers are
disposed to sell since the proceeds
win pay for ginning and picking and
thereby enable them to hold their
cotton for better or worse.
