of the books that have been given
for the library at Camp Doniphan.

this morning caused them to change
the plan of collecting the books and
magazines and the boys started on
sleds.
The committee that has been in
charge of the work of getting the
books and magazines for the soldiers
have met with hearty welcome on
all occasions and a great number of
magazines are expected to be collect
ed.
One of the committee members
said that she had received sixteen
calls from persons who have books
and magazines which they want to
give and it is thought that there will
be at least 100 contributions from
various places in the city.
The boys will be collecting until
late in the evening and if any one
has books or magazines which they
would like to give away they are re
quested to phone to Mrs. ]. A. Thomp-
son and some of the boys will be
sent Immediately to collect the books
and magazines.

and cotton seed because their trad.
i ing operations were so much broader.
In this connection the boley cot.
ton situation was discussed and 1t
was stated that the gins that were
rwned by the oil mill companies are
about the only ones that can now
handle the boley cotton. An inter.
esting bit of history relative to the
cotton industry was related here
when it was stated that the Chicka-
sha Cotton Oil company was the
first company to provide for facili-
ties for taking care of the boley cot
ton, that is, cotton bolls that have
the burrs attached and are partially
opened by freezing. Western Okla
homa and the northern Jortion Of
western Texas are the only places in
the United States that are attempting
to care for the boley cotton that is
brought to the gins. 1t was pointed
out by the cotton men who testified
yesterday evening that the cotton
states were losing thousands Of dol
lars every year by not being able to
take care of the boley cotton.
Gin men who testified yesterday
stated that the gins on the western
side of the state are equipped with
the most modern machinery that is
on the market and that they do bet.
ter ginning than those of any other
part of the state or of the south. 1t
was shown that less lint is obtained
from the seed that are ginned in the
western Oklahoma gins than can be
obtained from the seed ginned in any
other part of the cotton producing
country. Mr.. Wootten stated that
from thirty to forty more pounds OF
lint could be gotten from the seed
that were ginned in Texas than can
be secured from the seed ginned in I
the western part of this state.
In his testimony Mr.. Wootten stat
ed that linters had fallen in value
In the last three years from z cents
a pound until now they are worth !
only 4 ~ cents a pound. He stated |
that at the present price paid for lin
ters it was not worth taking the lint |
from the seed and that the process |
was a loss to the cotton oil interests |
but that it had to be done for the |
lint that was on the seed would abb |
5orb the oil and in that way make
the seed less productive He said
hat the increased production of the
oil was the only reason why the lint
was taken Off
When asked why linters had fallen
in value in the past three years he
stated that it was because only one
nan bought the class of linters that
are obtained from the seed that are
used in this part of the state. He
stated that the class of linters that
we're obtained from the seed ginned
IN western Oklahoma was SO short
hat 1t could be used for nothing but
powder manufacturing and that all
hat was sold here pent to the Du-
1ont Powder company. Because of
he process that must be used in cut
in the fiber into fine bits he said
hat the linters that were sold from
western Oklahoma were really worth
more to the powder people than mid
ling cotton and that there was no
'eason why such a price should not
,e paid.
