CALL FOR COUNTY
 COTTON CONVENTION
Meeting To Be Held In Newport < Saturday, September 18th for Purpose of Remedying
 Cotton Situation.

County Judge c. B. Coe au- M thorizes the Independent to call a mass convention of all citizens 0f Jackson county interested in \ providing some relief for the present. deplorable cotton situa- tion, to be held in Newport at l clock Saturday, September 19. This meeting is called for a dis cussion of the various remedial Proposals now being made by different organizations to relieve the South and furnish a market for cotton and to agree upon the most practical plan of work ing out the common purpose of he various theories.
 The Buy-A-Bale movement has received strong support in all parts of the South and is generally approved, but whether sufficient to be a real factor in creating a market and maintain ing a price sufficient to pay the cotton farmer for the cost of production and give a fair re- turn is doubted by many.
 Either the government or in- dividual cotton growing states, supporting a common plan, should come to the relief of the South and protect the only sec tion, whose product is so disas- . trously affected by the present war.
 The farmers, merchants, gin- ners, bankers, professional men and cotton buyers are all inter- ested in the protection of the South in this critical condition, , and jeopardy of our one cash crop. We are interested in a market now and the protection of that market by a diversified tion of crops and reduction of cotton acreage one-half, at least, next year.
 This convention should be a monstrous affair. It should show the willingness of our people to stand together in concerted ac- , tion. The times demand it and Z common interest urges it. Come to Newport Saturday, September 18th, and identify yourself with this movement.
 STATE AID PLAN.
 If program partly outlined and tentatively agreed to by number of southern senators and representatives x obtains, cotton will sell for II cents pound. Senator Simmons of North Carolina has taken the initiative in the movement, to which number of Southern senators have subscribed. His proposition provides for the pur- chase of one-fourth of the cotton rais- ed this year by the state. A purchase tax is to be levied on all cotton sold in the open market. A production tax on the cotton produced in 1915 is a part of the scheme.

A Suffra9ette Hen.

David Sanders brought TO the Herald
office few days ago a hens egg with
the figure TO- on it as plain as if mark
ed by print. There was also the outline
of what many people took to be the face
of skeleton. An old lady living on
Depot street, who is somewhat of seer

egg means that the European war will
last ten years and that the skeleton is
the representation of what everybody
will be if the fighting is kept up that
long. The hen that is responsible for
the mysticallymarked egg is regular

JOE JEFFERSON IN
! POOR OLD JIM
Orpheum Headliner Brings Back
Memories Of Trip Van Win
kle" Of Days Gone By

Joseph Jefferson, son of the Joe"
of Rip Van Wrinkle fame, is heading
the bill at the Orpheum this week in
DeMille's farce, Poor Old Jfm," and
ne is doing 1t most creditably. The
skit Is one of the cleverest that has
been at the Locust street vaudeville
house in many day, and Jefferson
certainly makes the most OF 1t. "A
spasm of fun that results when Jim
comes out of a drunketln stupor and
believes himself to be a ghost gives
opportunity for use of the famous
Jefferson facil expression and gesture
which brought back memories OF
many audiences in days Of yore.
The Seven Bracks, whirlwind
acrobatic act, which brought the bill
to close, is one of the best on the
program. The "Old Soldier FiddIers,"
who were here several years ago, won
many rounds of applause. Kirk and
Fogarty, in a song and dance act, were
very pleasing. The lady was quite
nifty and the masculine end of the duo
was clever. Kinter and McClay give
a study in black and tan filled with
comery, song and parodies on the
latest ballads. Sansone and Della,
two heavyweight jugglers, do many a
difficult stunt.
The act Of the week that brought
most laughter, perhaps, was the EN-
pire Comedy Four. Most of the humor
was of the rowdy sort, but several peo-
pie in the audience nearly went into
Mysteries" a number of times.

Bodies May Be Taken
From Ruins Today If
Conditions Will Permit
BY associated Press

st. Louis, Mo-, March 10.-The real
extent of the calamity caused by the
fire which destroyed the Missouri Ath-
letic Club building yesterday, it is be-
lieved will begin to unfold itself to-
day when fremen enter the ruins in
search of the score or more of bodies
thought to be buried there.
Because of the precarious condition
of the front wall firemen were unable
to recover bodies. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the ruins will have cooled
sufficiently during the day to
permit rescue to be undertaken. What
appeared to be human body was
seen wedged between the fire escape
and the last remaining wall just be-
low a seventh story window.
Seven dead were taken from the
building yesterday and 81 others who
are known to have been in the build
ing at the time of the fire have been
given up as dead by their friends, who
escaped. 1t is possible that beyond
this number there were several per-
sons in the clubhouse not registered.
Men Were Dazed
Many of those who escaped, be-
coming dazed or hysterical through
the experience, wandered about the
city all day before reporting to the
Bureau of Identification which had
been established at the Press Club of
st. Louis. This partly was respons-
ible for the excess number of dead

modern chemistry is called Sargol and

generative, reconstructive powers to
coax the stomach and intestines to lit

of your food and pass them into the
blood, where they are carried to every
starved. broken down cell and tissue
of your body. You can readily pic

transformation has taken place and you

disappear and you take on from 10 to

Chicago, ILL.,, March 10. Longer
school days with sessions throughout
the summer months are urged in an
article in the current number of tho
School Review. issued to-day at the
University of Chicago.
Moral and scholastic DELINQUENCY
would be prevented and economic
waste in school management would be
eliminated under such plan, accord
ing to the article. CITY children are
becoming more and more helpless as
the result of idleness imposed upon
them by city life." says the article.
"The boys, at least, are exposed
through their long evenings and holi-
days to the vicious influences of the

IF a private corporation had a
chain of plants valued at SO, 900, 900, 900

For Rough, Wrinkled,
Freckled, Pimpled Skin

AS March winds, flying dust and dirt,
are apt to injure any complexion, this
information will be of special value right
now. If you have any cutaneous blem-
ish, don't use paint, powder or anything
else to cover 1t up. Too often this only
emphasizes the defect. Besides, it's much
easier to remove the Disagreement with
ordinary mercolized wax. Applied
nightly, the wax will gradually remove
freckles. pimples, moth patches, sallow-
ness, red or yellow blotches or any sur
face eruption. The affected cuticle is
absorbed, a little each day, until the
clear, soft, youthful and beautiful skin
beneath Is brought wholly to view. Ask
the druggist for one ounce of mercol-
ized wax and use this like you use cold
cream. Remove in morning with soap
and water. Many who have tried this
simple, harmless treatment report as
fonishing results.
