Protest Against
 Cotton Contraband

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 22-- Thousands of letters and messages are being received at the state de partment from the south, protesting against the action of England in de claring cotton a contraband of war The communications also carry with them a protest against like action on the part of the French whom, it is stated will also declare cotton a contraband, today.
 The state department at first paid but little attention to the protests. However. today a delegation of promi- nent southern men, who are now in the city, visited at the state depart ment and received the assurances of Secretary of State Lansing that something will be done to amelio- rate the declarations of the allied powers. within the near future.
 In making his statement to the visitors today, Secretary Lansing said in part: "We will immediately pro test to the British against making cotton a contraband of war, and will prepare to protect the market"
 It is understood here that in mak ing cotton a contraband of war France and England are preparing to purchase the entire crop of the United States. This is being done in order that the allies may be as sured that Germany is not getting cotton. as il is believed that without that necessity for manufacturing her munitions of war, Germany would shortly sue for peace.

 na Valley agricultural fair will be
 held, and the people of Fairbanks.
 the cheechacoes who have just ar
 rived here and the visitors within
 our midst will have a chance to see
 the quantity and quality of the pro ducts Of the Panama Valley. Such
 was the decision reached by the executive board of the Commercial club in session one evening last week
 The only trouble of the members of the club at that time was money.
 Now that objection has been rele-
 gated to the background. for the committee which was appointed to solicit for the fair at that time. re-
 ports that enough has been collect ed to assure the holding of the fair
 A date for the event has not yet been selected. However, it is ex- pected that a meeting of the execu- tive board of the club will be held tonight. at which time it is expect ed that the date for the opening of the fair will be announced
 The soliciting committee is com posed of Martin A. Pinska and George NJ. Smith. As is well known both are from among the number of the substantial business men of the community, and they are giving of their time, which would probably be better placed at the disposal of their business. and of their money in order that the fair may be an as sured success.
 MT. Smith stated last evening that he and Mr. Pinska had succeeded in collecting about S400. They have met with very few refusals nearly everyone asked giving something.

December court in Winchester
proved one Of the poorest of the
year. Little business OF any KIND
was transacted and the general
slump was due to the great rush
of the holiday shopping which
succeeded it. There were about
1000 cattle on the market but
trading was slow and the market
was mean. Only a few sales were
made and the prices except in the
case of extra good offerings were
off. The mule market was ex-
tremely dull. About fifty head Of
yearling mules we're offered but
there was no demand and they
went unsold. Aged mules found a
better market, about % of the
choicest of the offerings changing
hands. Mr.. Thompson, of Lexing-
ton, bought almost the entire offer
ing of aged mules at prices rang
ing from $3.50 to $3.50 per head.
