CONDITION BULLISH;;
COTTON GOES DOWN
UNPRECEDENTED CONDITION IN
THE COTTON TRADE. MARK
EFT APPARENTLY FRIENDLESS.

Cotton swept downward last week,
meeting with little or no re-
sistance from the so-called bull ele-
ment, although fundamentals respon-
sible for the rise early in September
that carried October to 1925 have
undergone practically no change. In
fact, conditions at the moment are
even more bullish than a month ago,
especially in view of the extremely
favorable war news, peace cry of the
Huns, and the fact that President
Wilson left the door ajar for further
discussion in bringing about an end
of hostilities in his reply to Germany.
Every one in the world knows that
peace would bring about an unprece-
dented demand for cotton, especially
from the foreign countries, as they
are in dire need of the South's staple
and will clamor for it after the war
regardless of prices.

Terrell County Boy Who Was in Big
Offensive Against Germans Writes

Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Barbaree have
received a letter from their son,
John H. Barbaree, who is fighting in
France, in which, after stating that
he has received but little mail on
account of being constantly on the
move, he says: cat last we are at a
place where l hope we will be for
some time and l can have a little
rest, as | have moved so much | even
hate to hear the word move. 1t has
gotten to be monotonous most. | am
feeling Q. k. but for the past few
days have been bothered some with
my teeth; otherwise | am perfectly
well. | do not like to recall the ex-
perlences since | wrote you in June.

Of what l. have been doing, but will
not bother with full details of it.
When | wrote you in June we were
on the Champagne sector in the Ger
man offensive, which began on the
morning of July Is, and then about
July % we were helping drive the
enemy from their position at Chateau
Thierry. We were up there for near

we drove the enemy about fifteen Kill
ometers, and now | hope we are out

But in spite of this the cotton
market apparently is friendless. Ev-
cry one clamored for cotton a month
ago, when it was commanding fully
6 cents a pound more than now.
There is no special news warrant
ing the attack against values. Some
point out that the crop probably will
turn out to be a little larger than
present indications, but whether it
does or not it depends entirely on
killing frosts. Should it arrive early
then the yield stands no chance on
earth of gaining ground.
Price-fxing talk has vanished and
the government cotton board is gov
erning distribution so that low grades
will be absorbed along with high col
ors. With crop of less than 12,-
100000 bales of lint cotton and with
peace almost a certainty before an
other crop is made, there's no reason
why cotton should be depressed to
present low levels.
1t is said there is concerted effort
on the part of mills to hammer prices
down through a hand-to-mouth poll
cy. A year ago this time mills were
bidding aggressively for cotton with
prices around 27 cents pound. Isn't
this a fine contrast?
If the mills are to buy hand-to-
mouth, then wouldn't it be incumbent
upon farmers and country merchants
to also sell on the hand-to-mouth
plan? It's fair

For Colds and Grippe
Follow Doctors Advice

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the first step in
the treatment Of cold, cough, influ-
enza or grippe should invariably be
"a brisk calomel purgative, prefera-
bly, the nausealess calomel, called Cal
otabs." This alone is often sufficient
to break up a severe cold over night,
or cut short an attack of grippe and
possibly prevent pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with swallow of water-that's
all. No salts, no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing, pleasures or work. Next morning
your cold has vanished and your en-
tire system is purified and refresh
ed. Calotabs are sold only in original
sealed packages; price thirty-five
cents. Recommended and guaranteed
by druggists everywhere. Price re-
funded if you are not delighted-ad.

BIG PROBLEM TO DO
AWAY WITH HOT WINDS
ONE PERSON SUGGESTS SERIES
OF ARTESIAN WELLS, ANOTH-
Err ARTIFICIAL LAKES.

The recurrence of hot winds in all
of their whitening destructiveness
this summer has served to call at
tentlon to some of the theories ad-
vanced for solving this great menace
to agriculture in the southwest.
William H. Murray, of Tishomingo.
former congressman, believes hot
winds can be entirely eradicated by
means of chain of artesian wells
stretching from the north line of
western Oklahoma, the Panhandle of
Texas into New Mexico. He would
drill well on each quarter section.
which would be turned loose and al
lowed to throw a continuous stream
OF water into the air. He figures that
100000 such wells would be sufi-
clent. The volume of water that
would be generated would be equal
to the capacity of a Large river. Hot
winds striking such a saturation of
moisture would be entirely neutraliz-
ed in the opinion of Mr.. Murray.
Robert Galbraith, of Tulsa, be-
lieves a chain of artificial lakes fed
by wells would put an end to hot
winds. He would dam every ravine
that would hold a considerable body
of water in every part of Oklahoma.
The old saying, "Oklahoma and
Kansas can promise more in June and
give less in August" would be cast
into the discard if by some scientific
means hot winds can be conquered.
This is one of the great problems up
for solution and will eventually en-
gage the thought of noted scientists.

the censor, who is captain of the com
pany, Ray Private Barbaree high
compliment: Mrs. Barbaree: Altho
it is against the censorship rules to
make comment on the letter or wri-
ter, l feel called upon to tell you
that you have a son that you have
every reason to be proud of. He is
a good, clean boy; does his work
well and does not seem to know the
meaning of the word fear. He faced
death q hundred times without ! sign
of fear and was always willing to do
anything to help the work that was
before US. 1t is not only on The bat
tlefield that he has shown himself to
be man in every sense of the word,
but in everyday life back of the
lines, which is the hardest test of the
soldier.

l have written you, for | have writ
ten you because | think you should
know that your son has proven him
self to be man."

AMERICAN STABLE SERGEANT
FOUND TO BE MILLIONAIRE
Only After Recommendation for the
Training School Was Identity of
Rich Virginian Discovered.

Although he is said to be worth
$4,000, 100000, Lawrence Lewis. of
Greenbria, Va, kept his identity Sc
cret when he enlisted in thearmy.
Lewis was assigned to the artillery
when he arrived in France, and be-
cause he seemed to know how to han
die horses his captain, Arthur l..
Dasher, of Macon, Ga, assigned him
to the stables, where he ranked SER
geant.
Spent Pay on Horses.
So well did Lewis look after the
animals that Capt. Dasher recon-
mended him for the officers training
school for enlisted men. Just before
departing Capt. Dasher learned that
his stable sergeant. was spending all
his army pay on feed for his stock.
"How does it happen you spend all
your money on feed for the horses?"
demanded the officer.
Sergt. Lewis grinned cheerfully.
ooh, l can afford it," he said.
1t was only after Lewis had de-
parted for the officers training school
that Capt. Dasher learned why his eX-
stable sergeant could afford it," A
brother officer visiting the stables
told Capt Dasher who Lewis was at
home
Lewis married a daughter of Hen
ry NJ. Flagler.

Farmers and Families Cooper
ate With Neighbors in Ex-
hiblting Best Products.
PEOPLE BROUGHT TOGETHER
First Step 10 to Interest Leaders, Then
Elect officers and Appoint Com.
mlttees - Ribbons Usually
Awarded az Premiums.

John Jones' basket of potatoes takes
the blue ribbon at the fair, and imme-
diately every farmer In the commun-
ity secretly plans to take that prize
away from Jones next year. And
Jones, seeing Jim Browns winning
corn, resolves that next time he will
add that premium to his other tro-
phies.
And so ON down the line OF all ex-
hibits, the community fair fosters the
spirit Of friendly rivalry. II calls not
only for the exhibition OF the best
products that have been grown and
the best work that has been done. but
II includes as well games, athletic
contests, ~pageants and other features
which bring the men and women and
the boys and girls together for whole
some recreation.
The first step toward holding a COM
munlty fair Is 10 interest the leaders
Of the community; the second lie to
call q meeting OF the whole commun-
ity to elect officers and appoint com
mittees to have charge OF the work.
The fair should be well advertised,
and effort should be made to secure
exhibits from us many persons as pos
sible, rather than to secure exhibits
OF exceptional quality. For premiums
ribbons are usually awarded rather
than cash payments. As most OF the
preparations for the fair are made by
volunteer workers, the small amount
OF money required for Incidental ex'
penses can be raised by subscription
or by the sale Of advertising space In
the catalogue or on the program
There should be no entry fees or ad'
mission charge.
Grouping the Exhibits.
While II Is to be expected that tn,
exhibits at a community fair will re
ceive special attention for the purpos,
OF exhibition, nevertheless they shoult
represent rs nearly as possible IN,
normal production OF the community
for one OF the purposes of holding {
community fair Is TO stimulate a dc
sire TO Increase the quantity and /,
improve the quality OF the averag,
product.
Personal solicitation has been foun,
10 be the most effective means of IN
duclng people TO make exhibits. Encl
exhibitor should realize that he is II
competition only with other member
Of the community and that II will no
be possible for some stranger TO TAX
all the prizes.
Satisfactory results are usually 9b
tained In community fairs by group
ing certain classes OF exhibits. Thus
In the live stock department, horses
cattle, swine, poultry, and pets ar
exhibited. In the farm products de
partment are shown different varieties
