equipment in front of them. Then
We were inspected by the Inspector

thing fixed just like we were on a
march, and pitched camp for the
night. After this the batteries were
tried and physical exercise. Bat

post was under water six inches
deep. One of my tent mates had
just gotten a pair Of rubber boots
from home, and as he wasn't on
guard he was kind enough to offer
them to me, they proved a great
protection.
The sun is shining and it is as
warm as spring today, so guess it
will improve things. Three boys in

This announcement was made by DR..

The committees conclusion, DR..
Page said, vas based on the fact there
is no prospective shortage of cotton
and the belief that the cotton distri-
button committee can secure a pro-
portionate marketing of the lower as
well as the higher grades of cotton
more effectively by other methods.
Continuance of the work of this COM
mittee is recommended.

embody the essential points of the re-
port which the committee will pre-
sent soon to the President. 1t said
that there would be no way of en-.
forcing a fixed price except through
1.-The readiness OF the government to
purchase" the entire cotton crop.
This, the statement continued,
would involve the closing of cotton
exchanges, while merchants, bankers
