from the southern cotton growing states with with members of the cot ton states marketing board to discuss the proposed price fixing.
 The conference adopted a resolution setting forth that it opposed price fix ing in principle and appointed a con- government committee of inquiry in an effort to convince them that price fixing is not necessary.
 The war industries board announced that William l.. Clayton, J. Temple Gwathmey and Edward H. Inman will disassociate themselves from their business and will remain so disasso- ciated as long as they continue in the service of the government as mem- bers of the committee on distribution of cotton.
 The committee of inquiry it was announced already has met and fully discussed the cotton situation and adopted this resolution.
 "Resolved: That the committee on cotton distribution be authorized inn mediately to allot cotton as to uuan- tlty and grade to all domestic and for elgn consumers and that they also be authorized to buy cotton, if and when necessary for the requirements of the United States and allied governments
 Resolved, further that the cotton committee feels that this will have an important effect in stabilizing prices, but in the meantime they will keep in touch with the whole situa- tion with a view of determining the effect of this action and whether price fixing or any other measure will be necessary"
 Last Tuesday representatives in congress from cotton growing states headed by Senator Smith of South Carolina, protested to the president against the fixing of any price for cotton.
 This action came after the presi- dent had explained the purpose for which the two cotton committees would be appointed. The purposes ot the committee of inquiry, the presi- dent said, would be to broa len the channels of distribution so that use could be made of the great stock cf low grades of low cotton which now practically are unmarketable; elimin- ating of hoarding and speculation and apportioning of foreign orders. He added that it might be a part of this committees duty to recommend basic prices on cotton.

OFFERS RECIPE FOR RAIN
Oklahoma Official Turns Down Good
Chance to Become Public
Benefactor.

Oklahoma City, Okla.-Chester West
fall, assistant secretary of the Okla
homa state council of defense, passed
up a perfectly good chance to became
a public benefactor by securing good
soaking rain for the state. All on ac-
count of small fee of $1,000 for the
rainmaker.
An Oklahoma City woman walked
into the office of the council of defense
and announced to Mr.. Westfall that
she possessed the secret of making
rain. She demanded a fee of $1,000
for the job. Mr.. Westfall endeavored
to get her to part with the secret, but
she refused.
"The Bible says that he who won't
provide for his own household is worse
than an infidel, and have family to
look AFTER" was her parting shot as
she left the Office crestfallen at her
failure.

Y. M. c. A. Promotes
Entente Cordiale"
(By E. A. Batchelor.)

Paris, Sept. 20.-(By Mail.)-Pro-
motion of the "entente cordiale" be-
tween American and British forces by
means of athletics is one of the things
in which the American Y. M. C. A. has
achieved success in France. Yank and
Tommy have found it the easiest thing
in the world to get acquainted through
a common interest in sports. The fol-
lowing from an officer shows what
good results have been accomplished
at one aircraft depot:
II wish to express my great appre-
citation of your kind offer to equip the
troops with the necessary outfits for
outdoor games and athletics in gen.
eral.
"As you are aware, the American
Y" N. c. A. opened a large hut here
for the use of the British and U. S.
troops in this area. The question of
sports outfits was taken up with en-
ergy and foresight by the secretary.
Il am glad to say that all the re-
quirements have been met and excel
lent programs for indoor entertain
ments and outdoor sports have been
organized. They are meeting with
great success and even greater appre-
