The Value Of Cotton Grading and Stapling
Shown In the Work

Little Rock, Nov. 6.-The last
two days our cotton classer, Mr..
. E. Atkinson, ciassed 320 sam
pies of cotton. OF these 81 we're
middling; 1872 strict middling; 81
good middling; 3 strict good mid,
ding; middIing fair, and 10
strict low middling. In staple IS
were l l-16; 50 we're 1-8; 81
/ 3-16; 3 were lis were l 5-16,
and l was SIS.
Taking into consideration the
grades above middling, on basis
of the allowances on the Little
Rock market, this lot of cotton is
1862 so above middling. On a
basis of premium allowable for
staple, it is safe to estimate this
lot of cotton would be worth at
least $4,000 more than the value
if all were short cotton. This lot
of samples came from all parts of
the state. and the owners of the
cotton now have full information
on which to market their cotton,
and they can sell it mtelligently
and demand its value. In the alb
sence of this information they
would no doubt sell it on their 10
cal market as in the past without
regard to grade or staple, and
would get the market price for
middling cotton. If so there
would be loss of from $500 to
$1,000 on the entire lot. The US
ual custom in local markets is to
buy cotton on middling basis,
unless the cotton grades below
middling, in which event it is
bought according to grade. This
is the report made by the govern.
ment after thorough investiga-
ton oyer the entire cotton belt
in 1924. If you are selling
cotton that will grade above mid
ding and are not having it grad
ed before selling. the chances are
that you are losing money. The
grading costs you nothing. All
you have to do is to send your
gin sample, taken by the ginner
and sealed. Send either to me,
or to the US. Bureau OF Markets
Little Rock.
The following is the difference
in price of the differentgrade of
cotton acco1 ding to the Little
Rock quotations, based on 500
pound bale:
Strict middling, 30 cents bale
above middling; good middling,
$3.50; strict good middling. 50 so;
middling fair, So 10; stric. low
middling sells for $1.25 below
middling; low middlipg, So. rs;

Rumors to the effect that a yellow

day afternoon, when an investigating
committee, composed of one cub

vision st. barroom and found that
the flag was merely the result of an
outburst of patriotism shown by
members of the Belgian Athletic
club, who had placed the Belgian
colors under the stars and stripes, at
their club rooms, located above the
place at 1901 w Division julius

BIBLE DISCUSSED
BY ROUND TABLE
Rabbi julius H. Leibert Holds
That Book Was Not
Inspired.

A religious subject was up
for the first time at a Round Table

cussions in the history Of the club
was precipitated. Tho principal

reading OF the rabbits paper and
every angle OF religious belief and
unbelief was brought up. John r.

occasion.
Rabbi Leibert held the point in
mis- discussion that the Bible was not
inspired literally. word for word. as
many believe, but said 1T had an
evolutionary growth and was the
work OF many men at many times.

were made use Of as a proof OF the
speakers point.
This new idea or the Bible as a
growth. an evolution, is a more eX-
allied idea" declared Rabbi Leibert,
in his conclusion in which he urged
the importance Of studying the
words Of Christ and the prophets
rather than the less important de-

COAL SUPPLIED At
GOVERNMENT PRICES
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Oct 16.-Com-
munities really in need of coal can
get it at government prices, Fuel
Administrator Garfield announces,
and the supply is ample to meet i'm
mediate needs, even in the Middle
West, where an acute condition arose
through failure, he sgd, of cities to
specifically state their needs.
Appeals should be made to the
iuel administrators in each state, DR..
Garfield said, but where there is no
state administrator communication
should be direct to the fuel admin
istratiOn here.
DR.. Garfield, who has just re-
turned from Ohio, where he dis
cussed the situation in that state
with Homer H. Johnson of Cleveland,
the new state administrator served
warning against attempts of com.
munities to eonfiscate coal in tran
sit, cases OF which were reported
from points in the Middle West
