COTTON CONSUMPTION
The Mills Of This Country May
Spin 100000 Bales

Can the United States mills spin
Z, 900, 600 bales of cotton between
September l, 1914 and August
81, 1915? If so, in the Judge
ment of competent authorities
there is no need of fearing the
! capacity of our domestic resourc-
es to take care of the incoming
crop of Is, 600, 600 bales.
How can the other 5000, 600
bales be disposed Of, in the absence
of the usual export demand?
There will be an export demand
of contracted proportions. AS
sumo that Japan will take 1000,
900 bales out Of this crop, leaving
5000, 600 bales to be disposed of
to other foreign m a r k s .
Great Britain will require a con-
siderable supply, although not
so large quantity as she took
last year, when there were ex-
ported to that market 3, 1884, 600
bales. Probably 2,50U, 600 bales
are all that could be disposed of
as Britain's part under the cir
cumstances. That would leave
$500, 600 bales to clear up the
surplus, If Italy took 500, 900
bales there remain only 3, 600, 600
bales to be taken care of under
warehouse certificate plans, and
held off the market for future
disposition. This assumes that
exports of 5, 600, 600 bales of cot
ton will occur during the coming
year.
In the year ended August 81,
1913, our exports were $500, 966
bales. In the preceding year,
when ~, 6Sl, 75S bales were expor-
ted, the outgoing total was more
than twice the above estimates for
the year ending with next Aug
ust. 1t is true that a large proper
tion of spindles has been stopped
on the continent of Europe.
But it is also true that the worlds
leading spinning center in Lanca-
shire is bound to occupy itself
with the consumption of cotton
for the needs of England and its
as well as for other
markets in which it has establish
ed trade.
The price factor will be i'm
portant in the spinning demand.
In the United States and Great
Britain a low price of eight or
nine cents is sure to result in
accumulation of reserves where
ever conditions will allow it.
There is money for cotton in the
great spinning countries, and the
low price will tempt purchases
for future needs. 1t should be
remembered that the worlds in
reserve of cotton is we'll
drained and the suspension of
consumption will afford an oppor-
tunity to build up that surplus at
low prices. From The Wall
Street Journal.

Buy a Bale Of Cotton
Movement \

The regular monthly meeting

at the Rosemary Schoolhouse or
last Monday night, September Ii.
The meeting was a very en-.
thusiastic one and,the attendance

pointment to the members pre-
sent who had expected a large
Rosemary attendance,

by President, w. F. Horner, and
M. M. Faison officiated as Secre-
tary. The question of a sidewalk

list for this project was circulat-
ed among the members and L. S.

tion of J. T. Chase, the Board of

of cotton from farmer at Zoe a
pound and carry same over to
next year.

ed to try and induce individuals
to aid in this movement.
Several other matters were
taken up and discussed at length.
Resolutions of regret were pass
ed at the unavoidable action of
the Beaver Company in closing
down for a time their plant on
the river. Mr.. E. E. Whitney,
Production Manager for the
Beaver Company, who was pre-
sent at the meeting, voiced the
regrets of the Beaver Company
themselves at the necessity of
this action and stated that he
hoped business conditions in
this country would soon justify
the restarting of the Beaver
Board plant here,
The matter of getting the toll
bridge across Roanoke River at

free bridge was also discussed at
some length and a committee
was appointed to go into this
matter thoroughly and recon,

and j. T. Chase were appointed

Since it is impossible to pro-
vide in the near future for all of
this class, DR.. Hart is strongly
advocating (D that in every new
institution for feeble minded
children preference be given in
admission to girls of child bear
ing age, and (2) that every in
stitution for eeble-minded child
rem shall cease to receive girls
under the age of twelve, or boys
of any age, until every feeble

is provided for.

A Reply

The unsigned article in last
Saturdays paper, which is sup
posed to be a product of liter
ary art from the fertile mind and
flowing pen of a young lady from
Garysburg is not at all mislead-
ing. In the first place, the writ
er haunts with too much pride
his ill gotten glory, in the second
place, he deviates too far from
the truth, in the third place, it
was too much like the noise made
by the animal whose jaw bone
was used so effectively by Samp-
son not to have been the Umpire
Tanner who haunts the vicinity of
the River Mill.
Our doubts about the article
having been written by a young
lady from Garysburg are aug
mented by the fact that the fair
hamlet of Garysburg has not
within its limits anyone so per-
feet in every sense of the word.
who could afford to publish an
article of ridicule on the real or
imaginary defromities of any in
dividual.
Our pity for the affection of the
hunch-back, cross-eyed, knock
kneed, pigeon -toed, loose jointed,
bow-legged, suffering, deaf,
blind, club-footed, idiot would be
OF small concern in comparison
with our deep sympathy and com
passion for one who would pub
lish an article of mockery on an
unfortunate's deformities.
The prejudiced insinuations of
the entire article are examples of
the priming cap of shot shoot
ing air rifle" calibre of a few
of the influential members of the
advertised pennant winners. 1t
must be borne in mind that the
base ball league was organized
for the express benefit of mill
employees who enjoyed the game
and by a careful reference to the
lineup of the various teams in
the last eight or ten games it is
interesting to note that the Roa-
noke Mills team imported profess
sional and semi-professional
players in order to gloat on the
defeating of teams composed of
industrious mill boys. Furth-
ermore, in every game in which
they have been a contestant the
Umpire has been subjected to
threats, abuse, and was intimida-
ted by the original and only mas
ter of ceremony.
AS to the Kicking propensi-
ties of Mosher," these could be
multiplied several times and still
be small compared with the un
sportsmanlike propensities" of
the self dubbed and appointed
base ball sage who has over a.
dorned himself with icticious
glory.
The Roanoke Mills team and
employees, taken as a whole,
have proven themselves worthy
of every respect and considera-
ton, as worthy adversaries, but
to a few suggest that they at
least takea correspondence course
in Sportsmanship or keep out of
the baseball organization for the
ensuing year.

FAIR OPENED THURSDAY
WITH AEROPLANE FLIGHT

the first of September they decided
not to allow business on the streets
this year. 1t was carried to such
excess in 1913 that all the business
men were complaining and justly SO.
They had put up money literally in
advertising with the fair and then
the carnival was given the street,
the takers were given positions .son
the curb and the hot tomale and ham,
berger steak venders were allowed
to ply their trade in front of busi-
ness houses, and the local people who
had put up the money to mike the
fair and the business, were left look
ing on and paying high rents while
the outside men did the business and
carried the money out of the country.
The council determined not to re-
peat this mistake, and barred such
things from the principal streets, and
also kept the matter in their own
control and did not allow the fair
to have the money arising from the
privileges. 1t was now proposed to
rescind this action and give the fair
5000 and allow them the money from
the privileges.
The directors said it was too late;
that people applying for locations had
left town or found unsuitable loca-
tions block or two away from
where the crowds would be. That
number of them were just leaving
for Dillon on the evening train be-
dause they could do nothing here,
and the word had gone out to stay
away from Blackfoot; that those who
do business on the street during the
evening ply their trade at the fair
grounds during the afternoon, and
failing to get location on the street
they did not want a place on the
grounds, and the fair had lost the
money from both sources this year.
The council by it's first action had de-
stroyed about $500 of revenue for
the fair, and they were now being
asked to make it up by direct ap-
1t was proposed to compromise and
give the fair $3.50, and allow them
to sell such privileges as they could
without injuring local business men
and interfering with their rights. and
this was approved.

School Meeting
Monday Evening

On Monday evening the school
board met and organized with A. E.
Doud reelected, and w. G. Sollen-
berger a new member, succeeding r.
N. West
John G. Brown was elected chair
man of the board, R. L. Archer sec
retary, and the other members pres
ent were j. H. Early and G. v. Fish
er. Superintendent w. D. Vincent
attends all the meetings and is one
of the active workers.
The Board meets in the evening
of the second Monday of each month
at the City hall, the hour for the
winter season being 1880, and they
begin at that time whether the mem
bers are all present or not.
They have system for handling
their bills by which they pay for all
they get, if the getting was authoriz-
ed by proper parties. Every item is
gone over by some member delegated
to pass upon that class of expendi-
lures, and no claim is ever paid Just
because there is a bill there for it.
There must be proof that the goods
or service were ordered and deliver
ed, and when claim fails in this
respect 1t is not passed for payment
on the remark, Iguess it is all
right" Somebody says, II think we
had better withhold payment in this
matter for the present." and pay
ment awaits proof
The board fixed the tax levy for
this year at eight mills, the Valuation
being $3,40S,S12 and the clerk stated
that this would be 20 per cent lighter
school tax than last year.
The board met in the directors
room at the Standrod bank Monday
evening as the city council was hold
ing special meeting at the City hall.
The board finished its work at 1O:3O,
and as they put on their coats and
hats they jollied each other a little
about milking the cows in a hurry
20 get to the meeting on time.

LOST BROTHER RETURNS

John Yancey, the lost brother of
Adam Yancey, of whom We gave a
history on the 18th of June, arrived
in Blackfoot with his wife, Wednes-
day, to visit with the family of his
brother Adam. They have been living
ndar Kansas City, Missouri, for many
years.
The two brothers parents were
separated by the movements of john
sons army in 1858, and were never
united again. One of the boys grew
up in company with his father, and
the other lived with his mother un-
til her death, and for fifty years the
brothers did not see each other. They
and their wives are attending the fair
today.

A PATRIOTIC TRIBUTE
BlackfoOt School Children Show
Their Homage to the Author of
''Star Spangled Banner"

Monday of this week whs the one
hundredth anniversary of the writing
of THE Star Spangled Banner"
which is generally accepted as our
national hymn although it has never
been made so by act of congress.
A very beautiful little tribute was
given the hymn and its author by
the school children of Blackfoot at
the Central School building on Mon
day at high noon. One thousand
strong the children were banked in
hollow square about the big flag
pole. The little tots, learning their
first lessons in good citizenship were
placed in front while row upon row
of larger children completely filled
the Ward to the north of the build
in. AS the band struck up the first
measures of the famous hymn, all
heads were barred, and with one oc-
claim the words of that stirring song
leaped to the tougnes of the as
sembled children. Three young ladies
in white pantomined the verses,
while cold Glory slowly crept to-
ward the top of the flag staff All
eyes following her ascent with love
and devotion.
1t was a spectacle worth seeing
and one long to be remembered by
those who took part.

Will Continue as Outlined Before the
Storm

The directors of the fair have kept
in close touch with the weather
bureau all week, and adjourned the
fair from day to day until it cleared
up, and then sent up the airship as
the raising of the curtain on what
promises to be Blackfoot's biggest
and best fair.
The band begins to play each day
at 1880 and continues at the grounds
until the close of the program, then
conducts concert of one hour from
7 to 8 in the evening in different
parts of the business district.
Everything is being carried out ac-
cording to tn original plans as near
ly as possible. The ball grounds
were too wet for a game on the
opening day, but VIII come as soon
as conditions will permit,
The bfby show is being held at
the City hall this Friday morning.
Saturday is Children's day at the
fair with the same privileges usually
accorded the little folks on Friday.
At last accounts it seemed to be
the intention to exhibit the airship
(biphane, free or to make the ad-
only ten cents if they charge
at all.

MCRACKEN GETS THE
CONGRESS NOMINATION

An attempt has been made to Gre
ate the impression that there was a
serious doubt as to the result of the
Republican primary election en- at
least three positions.
There has never been any ground
for doubt with relation to any of
them excepting the second congress
sional nomination, and McCracken Is
far enough in the lead to justify the
nomination on the second choice
count.
Original List Will Stand
The list of nominees as announced
by the Statesman the morning after
election will stand after the official
state canvass. At that time the
Statesman made only one qualifica-
ion. 1t was as to the second congress
sional nomination, which was stated
to have been wonby either McCrack-
en- or Jones.
Reference to the Statesman's tabu-
lation shows McCracken's vote 10,-
303 as against 9,79S for Jones, with
not enough votes out to materially
alter the relation excepting to prob
ably increase McCracken's lead.
No Question as to Taylor ;.
The report about Edgington having
possibly beaten Taylor is not based
on any returns. The Statesman s
tabulation shows Taylor 1O,20S and
Edgington 9,156, with not enough
votes out to change the relation
ship of the vote. Taylor's present
lead of over 1000 will more likely be
increased.
Barker leads Johnson for secretary
of state by over 400, which will
probably be increased when all the
scattering precincts are heard from
through the official canvass. Doubt
has also been expressed about that
nomination.-St Statesman.
