PUBLIC MEETING AT CITY HALL
Sewerage Committee Give Taxpayers Opportunity to Express opinioa,
 Upon Merits of. Franchise,

A large number of taxpayers ap- peared at the City Hall last night in response to the invitation of the Sew craze and Wharf committee to ex- press their opinion regarding the granting of the proposed franchise to Edwin Eckern to construct and main tain a water and sewerage system in the town of Valdez.
 Chairman Harry E. F. King, of the committee, presided at the meeting and all who wished were given an opportunity to speak. Some taxpayers feared the cost would be exorbitant, cthers believed the system was need cd and that the only way of secur- ing sewerage system was by se- curing outside capital and later pur- chasing the plant.
 The franchise which was asked by MT. Eckern provides that at the end of 10 years the city could purchase the system and also provided for maximum charges of $3.50 per month per residence for water and connec- tion with the sewer
 Mayor Ritchie had also assigned Judge John Lyons to the committee from the Law and Ordinance con- mittee and Chairman King, with Councilmen Patterson and Martin held last nights public meeting to give the taxpayers an opportunity to be heard on the matter.

Meet Immediate Obligations

The cotton situation is in the
hands primarily of growers and
bankers" says Richard H. Edmonds,
Editor Manufacturers Record, "and
their ability to keep two-thirds
of the coming crop from the mar ket
until ocean transportation isavailable
will determine the outcome. Short
hostilities will induce slightly dim
inished demand for raw cotton even
after peace, Prolonged war will
check materially European buying
of the staple, but result in better
market, perhaps permanently, for
American cotton goods in other
countries.
American mills are equipped, if
run to full capacity to handle in an
emergency at least 100000 bales
and probably more instead of, as at
present, 100000 bales. The re-
sultant home consumption would
tend somewhat to counteract the
foreign depressing effect The GEN.
eral world demand for cotton goods
is increasing despite temporary in .
terruptions; raw cotton, not sold now
will be needed in the future.
If Southern growers aud bankers
will work IN unison to market crops
slowly and to hold the surplus till
the ocean commerce Is free, and If
the American mills will buy as freely
as the situation justilies early in
the season, the aeuteness of the
situation will soon be helped The
essential thing is for growers to sell
only enongh to meet their financial
obligations, and this Ia demanded
OF them by commercial honor.
Then they can market the balance
as gradually as prices and conditions
Justify Cotton is a worl d staple
that does not deteriorate II stored
for years, and the worlds require
ments, even If halted for d time by
war; will ultimately be greater than
present production, and equal to
absorbsorbing all our stock at a fair
price"

PAGES LETTER
Writes Letter Encouraging
Attendance in Agricul-
tural Schools.

The farmers of Arkansas have
four district agricultural colleges tC
which they can send their boys and
girls, where they can receive prac-
tical and useful education on farm
and domestic life and at the same
time get the advantages from liter.
ary training, and the farmers should
send their children to these schoolrl
1t will cost but little for a boy 4
girl to attend one of these colleel
for a term, and | am sure if he
she attends one term there will n
extra efforts made to keep the child
in school until after graduation
He who graduates from one of
these colleges can 60 back on the
farm better equipped for useful SER
vice, and better able to made farm
life more prosperous, happier and
more attractive. | speak fro m
personal knowledge when I tell you
of the great advantages these agri-
culture colleges can give your boys
and girls.
We need the highest degree of in
telligence on the farm, and nothing
will pay bigger and better returns
on the farm than an agricultural
education. The boy who has an
agricultural education and goes
back on the farm with his fathers
wisdom, knowledge and experience
to help him, will m a ke a good
farmer nine times out of ten. We
cannot say that nine out of ten
farmers are good farmers now. We
all know that. So strain a point to
send your boys to one of these col.
leges
One of the splendid features of
an agricultural education is the
knowledge obtained in regard to
stock breeding and stock raising.
Arkansas must Immediately turn
her attention to stock if we are 90
ing to prosper as we should. The
time is coming when we will make
our mark in stock raising, and now
is the time to give the boys an
education that will enable them to
do their best. Other states are
advancing along this line, and if we
educate the boys we can keep pace
with them.
One of the colleges is located at
Russellville, one at Monticello, one
at Jonesboro, and one at Magnolia
Write to the agricultural college at
either place and ask for information
They will tell you the cost They
are all maintained by the state and
you are a taxpayer. Take advan-
taee of the opportunity. They are
all good schools. 7 ke your
choice, but try and send your boy
or girl to one of them.
