er an article giving his reasons for be-
lieving that cotton would bring very
much more than 10 cents that fall. AS
a result Of this article, no cotton was
sold for future delivery in the Harts-
vile market, and that year when
farmers We're delivering thousands Of
bales In the surrounding towns at 10
cents per pound. our farmers were
getting 13 cents here for theirs, thus
saving thousands of dollars in their
years operations.
Again, on June 20, 1912, when the
majority Of the cotton planted in this
section was long staple. we advised
the farmers against contracting their
cotton for fall delivery at Is cents.
The market for good staple opened up
at from Is cents to II 1-2 cents and
advanced during that September until
the best grades were bringing II 1-2
to 1S 1-2 cents. Later the market de-
,lined again, but the bulk of the good
cotton all during that fall brought
from Is cents to Is cents.
AT present the outlook for staple
cotton seems to me to promise very
high prices during the early fall
months Every staple mill in the Unit.
cd States Is now running to it's full
capacity and making big profits. The
consumption Of staple cotton in Amer
lea was never SO great as now The
present crop of staples will scarcely
be enough to carry the mills until the
new crop is available, and there
should be very active demand duri
Ing the early fall months for cotton

Of Mississippi, and I confidently be-
lieve that the farmer who has an
early crop Of staple cotton which with
run l Ia or longer will realize very
handsome profits on this years work
Iif he will It it out promptly, gin It

that the seed cotton is not too danny

H.t:, v.!o is thoroughly posted on
staples. think it probable that the
farmer who contracts his staple cot
ton even at q price very much above
l5 cents will have cause this fall to
regret that he did not wait until his
crop matured to dispose Of it.
There are other reasons against
contracting for future delivery besides
the ones l have mentioned above. One
is that 1t Is apt to have a depressing
erect upon the market. Suppose one
sixth of the staple cotton crop' should
be contracted for delivery this fall at
10 cents. The buyers would be glad
TO contract this cotton for delivery to
the mills around 16 cents This would
render the mills absolutely independ-
ent FOR two months this fall during
winch time the cotton which came
upon the market would be much more
difficult to sell than If the mills had
not provided for two months run
ming. Before the mills entered the
market again the pressure of receipts
might become SO heavy that prices
would become demoralized and the
level of values might be forced to n
very low figure. say Is cents or lower.

THE IsSUE-T Is "I'

THE frequency with which Mr..
i Wilson's speeches resound to
the echoes of me-" ''Iaine," my"

itics and legislation Of the coming
months.
When he says Il have not men

dread, etc.. this. that and the other
thing, Mr.. Wilson falls into the habit
of speech which affects Ferdinand,
Tsar Of the Bulsars. who talks SO
constantly Of Il and my brave SOL
diers." etc.
That this habit OF mind and speech
is entirely natural to Mr.. Wilson most
people win readily agree. Mr.. VIII
son has been q teacher most of his life
and teachers have opportunities be-
yond those Of most men to magnify
their ego. They hold positions OF su-
preme authority; for those who resist
there is always the rebuke. the rod.
expulsion and other forms Of punish
ment. Therefore. it is not surprising
to note this relapse into an earlier
manner on the part of Mr.. Wilson.
Not long ago. Mr.. Wilson told the
democratic national committee that
the republicans have only one issue
for this campaign-the tariff. The as
|sertion was untrue. though the tariff
lis sufficient issue for Wilson's de-
feat. 1t IL doubly untrue now. for
Mr.. Wilson himself has given US an
other issue. He has made me a
central issue for 1916.

PORTLAND. Feb. 21.-until the
issues involved in the suit of the fed
eral government, to separate the own
|ership of the Southern Paciflc's stock
of the Central Pacific railway compa-
ny from it, completion Of the Natron
cutoff to Klamath Falls will not be
undertaken. This statement is made
by officials Of the company. Early in
December the governments case was
submitted on argument at San Fran
cisco for decision by the circuit court
OF appeals. A decision is expected at
any time.
The governments contention is that
ownership and control of the Central
Pacific's lines by the Southern Pacific
company, which over certain stretches
has a competing line, is in violation
of the Sherman antitrust act of con-
gress. Whichever way the decision
goes, it is regarded as certain that an
appeal will be taken to the United
States supreme court, causing at least
a delay of two years before legal OBJ
stacles will be overcome.

was stopped three or four years ago
