TWO FRENCH TOWNS WANT
 NAME OF LAFAYETTE
(By United Press.)

Paris, Sept. 10 (By MailD-The name of Lafayette has been the bone of contention of two townships in the Haute-Loirs department. The town of Le Puy-en-Velay, which has played a certain role in French history, as the birthplace of several well-known men, including a pope, has been advocating changing it's name to that of Le Puy- Lafayette, in honor of the general whose old home is not far off.
 But the town of Brioude has taken exception. During a recent session the municipal council decreed that, in- asmuch as the Chateau of Chavaniac, Lafayette's birthplace, was in the parish of Brioude, and that several of his family resided in the town, where the general was wont to come every year for the local fete, the name of Lafayette belonged by right to Bri- oude and should not be usurped by Le-Puy.

EXCITED ADVANCE
 FOLLOWS REPORT
Heavy Wall Street Buying and Active Demand From Foreign Trade, Causes Advance More Than Cent a Pound.

New York, Oct 2.-The govern ment crop report was followed by an excited advance of more than cent pound in the cotton market here to- day. December contracts sold up to 25.05c, or 122 points above last nights closing figures and representing the highest prices reached since that de- livery touched 19.53 on the break of last month. The close was at 24.92 for December with the general list closing barely steady at a net advance of 103 to IA points.
 The trade had been prepared for small ginning figures, but had hardly looked for such light returns as indi- cated by the official report, showing 2,498,381 bales ginned prior to Sep tember 9, against 4,081 ,9S9 last year. The market opened p to 26 points higher on this showing, but was held in check by uncertainty as to the gov ernment's crop report. When this made it's appearance at II o'clock placing the condition at GOA and the indicated yield at 12,047,000, con- pared with 12,499,O00 bales, the indi- cation of a month ago, buying became general and excited.
 In addition to heavy Wall street and Western buying, there was an active demand from both foreign and domes- tie trade interests and this sent prices upward very rapidly in spite of realiz- ing and increased southern hedge sell ing. Before the advance was more than momentarily halted, October had sold at 25.45 and January 25.SS, mak- ing a net gain of 11S to 125 points. The close was several points off from the best under profit-taking.
 Cotton closed barely steady.

FIX COTTON PRICE
 AT 30 CENTS POUND
Agreement Reached at New Or leans COnference-10 States Represented-Men Interested Declare Price is Justified.

New Orleans, Oct. 2.-A price of 3O cents a pound to the farmer was agreed upon at meeting here late today of men interested in marketing and growing of cotton in 10 southern states as being justified by the present selling prices of manufactured cotton products. The price was suggested in an amendment to resolution adopted just previously which declared against price regulation of cotton by Congress or delegating of this authority to any other body.
 Although the amendment, intro duced by L. B. Jackson, director of the Georgia bureau of markets, met with some little opposition, it was recog- nlzed as a compromise measure and was almost unanimously adopted. Un- successful efforts to have the amend ment read 35 instead of 90 cents were made by E. w. Dabb of Mayesville, IS. C.. w. B. Yeary of Farmersville, Texas, and Peter Radford of Austin, Texas, led the movement to secure a 30-cent minimum.
 Following the advice of John M. Parker, state food administrator, the delegates adopted a resolution pro- viding for the appointment of a com mittee of seven to confer in Washing ton with Herbert Hoover, federal food administrator, regarding cotton and seed prices.
 Resolutions also were adopted in dorsing Edward s. Butler of New Or leans as a member of the federal ex- ports board and indorsing the move- ment to have bales of cotton standard ized throughout the cotton belt by making them of uniform size of 54 inches long by 27 inches wide
 While many delegates early advo- cated holding of cotton for minimum prices ranging from 30 to 42 cents, general sentiment during the after noon was against such action. Ad- dresses by Senator Ransdell, State Food Administrator Parker and Vim. B. Thompson, president of the New Orleans dock board, offered the fixing of a minimum price. Growers were urged by Senator Ransdell and Mir. Thompson to hold their cotton, mar ket it judiciously and, if necessary, borrow money on it in storage. MT. Parker said he knew of no effort to place cotton under federal control.
 The sessions today were attended by cotton growers, state commission CTS of agriculture, directors of mar ketng bureaus, officers of farmers unions, farmers, merchants and bank CTS from 10 southern cotton-growing states, all of whom assembled to con- slider cost of producing the 1917 cot ton crop and decided upon the advisa- bility of setting a minimum price for which the staple should be held by the growers.
 John A. Simpson, president of the Oklahoma Farmers Union of Weath- erford, was chairman and James A. Wade, commissioner of agriculture of Alabama, was secretary.
