l beg space in your columns, MT. Editor, to present subject of the utmost importance to all our South ern county. There is no doubt in most thoughtful minds but that the ScMths cotton crop is going to be worth $750,O00,000 to the men who own it next spring, but it is worth only s50O,OO0.OOO to the producers at present prices-and it is to save tue Southern growers and to our Southern country this extra quarter of a billion dcllars that the united energies of press and people should now be directed. The fundamental facts seem to me to be clear:
 1. Cotton, even though the new crop of 1915 has started coming on the market, is still selling on the basis of prices fixed by last years 17,0OO, O,OOO-bale crop.
 ?. These prices must soon be ad. justed, however, to fit thee coalitions of a 12,OO0,0 0,0OO-bale crop tor proba. ply only a 1O,OOO,O0O or 11,O0O,OOO. bale crop,)2 and this adjusted price ought at the very least to reach 12 cents a pound for middling.
 AS briefly now, as clear argument will permit, I wish to point out and emphasize the truth of these state ments.
 1.-The Worlds Demand Justify
 Twelve Cents.
 Assuming even 12,000, ,000-bale yield of Southern cotton this year fand it will probably be less,) this years world production will be 5000 ,000 bales short of the worlds conservatively estimated ccnsump- tion during the coming twelve months. That is to say, the world will consume every pound of this years crop and 3,0000G0 bales of the present surplus.
 Secretary Hester of the New Or

Farmers, Merchants and Bankers Should Fight
 for 12-Cent Cotton

leans Cotton Exchange estimates last years Southern production (not the , commercial crop) at 17,004,000 bales The United States Government es,,- mate Q6,134,930 plus 791,464 linters) is ,926,349-practically 17,OOO, ,OOO bales. This was over 100000 bales in excess of the 1913 crop.
 Now what happened with this bumper 17,000, 0,000-bale crop in spite of all the demcralized conditions of trade and finance-the crop of which it was said last fall we shcmld not ex- port 100000? The facts are that the | world used so much of it that the to- tai worlds visible supply of all cotton in midsummer this year was only B. 435,168 bales against 3,522,276 bales a year before. In other words, with a 17,O00, ,000-bale Southern crop to handle, the worlds visible supply in- creased only 1.9O0,O00 bales What , is going to happen this year thel, with the South offering 5,OO0,OO0 or 6,000,000 bales less-and the pro duction of other countries also de- creased? And this query brings me to another point:
 III. The Worlds Crop Prospects
 Justify Twelve Cents.
 MT. w. P. G. Harding of the Fed eral Reserve Board early in the sum mcr secured reports from consular officials all over the world indicar- ing a total cut in the worlds cotton crup dis year of 5,00O.000 ba'es Egypt and India reporting radical reductions in acreage" Since that time the prospects have further de- ( 'ined.
 l But even if we accept this early over estimate cf the crop we see that If last years crop, being 5,000,00o bales bigger than this years, yet increased the surplus only 2,0OO,OOo bales, then this years crop will leave a 3,O00,0O0 bale deficit-to be drawn from the surplus.
 The facts are, however, that even ] a 12,000t000 bale estimate far the South now seems too high. This is not simply my view, but the view of many experts, including so conserva- tive and competent an authority as the New York Journal of Commerce which has just declared that in view lof present conditions, ''the yield seems

RANGE OF 31 MILES
New 12-Inch Weapon Could
 Duplicate German Feat.

The shots fired into Dunkirk Thursday from a large weapon, or weapons, from behind the German lines near Newport, at a range of about fwenty-two miles, are said by American army experts to be the greatest 1ong-range firing known in, actual warfare.
 Several instances are recorded of long-range firing with powerful ar tillery in time of peace. In England, durinf Queen Victoria's Jubilee cele- bration, according to statements made by an ordnance expert, shot from a 9.2 inch gun was fired across water about twenty miles Sew era1 instances of long-range gunnery have been recorded on. German prov ing grounds. But never before in war have missiles been hurled so far as in the attack on Dunkirk.
 There has been much talk about huge new German guns, such as
 5O-centimeter (19.6-inch) and 55-cen- timeter 62L6-inch) guns of how tiger type, calculated to shoot twenty five miles, but ordnance experts
 say that weapons of such cahber
 and type would not be used in twenty five-n1i1e firing. These men insist that the weapons used in the attack on Dunkirk were of no greater caliber than twelve inches. The latest Ger man guns of this ca1iber could easily
 cover the distance from the German line to Dunk1rk IT 11rGO aL an df5lo O1 forty-fiye degrees.
 1 The United States has coast defense guns which could exceed the range at which the German guns are supposed to have been fired The guns are the l latest American model, and they l could duplicate the German feat, if
 mounted on carriages so constructed
 as to enable the weapons to fire at an angle of 45 degrees.
 Elaborate computations of what l might be accomplished by firing 1 Am merican weapons at an angle of 45 l degrees have been worked out by the experts for guns of varying caliber, I both coast defense guns and mortars. The most powerful Of these in long, T range firing is twe1ve-inch gun. i When fired at an angle of 45 degrees, I this gun has 8 range of over '31 I miles. The highest point of the I trajectory or line of fight of the pro- jecti1e would be nearly twelve miles l A weapon which would fire shots
 twenty-two miles into Dunkirk would closely approximate a 12inch gun I now in use in American coast de lenses This, if fired at an angle o1 1 45 degrees, would have a range o1 I over 3 miles. The highest point o1 I the trajectory of this weapon would l be about 1-2 miles, and the missile Iswou1d reach it's target Tn about 101 ' seconds.

Bender, g Today Greatest of Aborigine
 Baseball Players

While the real American is not as prevalent the national pastime as the good.

Ever since the invention of the game Poor To has had a share in it's g1ories and while few red men have reached the heig ghts of major league fame, those few. have been conspicuously successful.
 It is noteworthy that majority of tEae great Indian players have been battery men. and of them all Chief Charles Albert Bender, late Of the Athletics, ranks as the star Bender, who will be. tllirty-two years old to- day, has had many rivals for the twirIing hOnors of the Red Mems Lea gue5 but he has easily held the supremacy.
