cd by Bankers Association;
Weed Out Speculation is
Purpose of Campaign.

The first steps taken locally in
the movement instituted by bankers
and cotton growers OF the state to
secure a stabilization of cotton pric-
es, by means Of government regula-
tion of the minimum sale price will
be taken Wednesday afternoon at
o'clock when outlines for the move
in Grady county will be formulated
at a meeting Of the chamber Of COM
merce in the city hall. At that time
the cotton situation in this part Of
the state will be discussed and action
taken toward ratilying the work al
ready undertaken by the Oklahoma
Bankers association, r. T. Chandler,
delegate from the bankers to Wash
ington announced this afternoon.
IN an attempt to make bankers and
cotton growers of the state solid be-
hind the movement for a regulation
of the cotton market this fall, eircu-
lar letters were mailed out last week
all over the state announcing mass
meetings that will be held over Ok
lahoma the first part of this week.
1t is the plan Of the bankers associa-
ton to get as many of these letters
as possible returned Endorsed in or
der that delegates 80 Washington
may be prepared TO storm national
department heads with the unanimous
approval Of the cotton growing belt.
That the bankers Of the state are
seeking no profits from the sale of
the fall cotton crop was pointed out
today to members of the committee
recently appointed from the associa-
ton to arrange for these mass meet
ings by Eugene P. Gum, secretary of
the Oklahoma Bankers association.
The fact that growers are allowed the
same representation as the bankers
at all meetings on the cotton price
fixing movement is submitted as
proof .hat the bankers have nothing
bu. me regulation Of the cotton mar
aet and the wedding out Of specula-
zion al hblrt cotton is the staple
of the soaih ana its movement means
the financial salvation OF the cotton
growing states, Mr. Gum told the
association recently.
A federal corporation for the buy
ing of the cotton surplus this fall and
storing ii in warehouses to prevent
glutted markets and a slump in pric-
es Of the poorer staples has been
suggested as a remedy for the pres
ent situation Shipping facilities are
already crowded to their limits and
the condition will be even worse this
fall when there will be no transpor-
tation for the 100000 bales left over
from the 1917 crop. with cotton sell
ing at a low figure there viii not be
enough money in The banks of tho
state to pay for the crop, the associ-
alton secretary believes.
The price fixing movement was
started the first of July with meet
ings of tho bankers and producers
at Memphis, Dallas, Washington and
New Orleans where Mr. Chandler
was made one Of the two delegates
to Washington.

FARM WORK
Army Behind Army" is Making
Big Progress; to be Factor
in Fall Handling of
Cotton.

In the event that Grady County
produces a good cotton crop this faA
a unit Of the United States Boys
Working Reserve may figure largely
in harvesting the crop according to
announcement mado yesterday by the
examiner in charge Of the Federal
State Employment Bureau. A ma
tional body made up Of 2500QO boys
between the ages CT sixteen and
twenty will furnish an untapped re-
source for supplying substitutes for
the men who are taken into military
service.
In enrolling a quarter of a million
boys OF the nation to supply harvest
relief crews during the summer and
fall. labor department units hayo
pointed cut the opportunity held ont
to the boys for a through agricuItr-
raj training as well as the chance to
enlist in the army behind the
army" Whatever doubt may hay3
been held as to the wisdom of
training city boys for farm work ana
transporting them to the. harvest
fields has already disappeared the
labor department declares. A great
reservoir Of young men to fill the
thousands of vacancies loft by their
older brothers now over there" has
been turned loose and will figure in
the warding off of national work
man shortage.
The same lessons that prepared
thousands of boys to go from high
schools into active service in the
Boys Working Reserve last spring
will be continued in the schools this
year. A semi-military education is
given in connection with the agricul-
tural instruction wherever the train
ing farms have become a reality.
Eight states introduced farm train
ing camps last summer and the rest
will take up the idea soon it is
thought.
In addition to the agricultural unit
of tho reserve there is being organ
lied an industrial division intended
to encourage boys to continue their
education on a part time program.
Junior Examiners" made up Of a
member of the employment force in
each branch office will attend to the
industrial education scheme accord
ing to the Labor Departments plans,
Only school boys are eligible for the
reserve.
As recognition Of the services
that are being performed by the
"furrow army" or the second line OF
fense" as the reserve has been
dubbed by Herbert Hoover federal
food administrator, each boy to sign
up receives an enrolment button
Badges of honor are issued af.oi
the first six weeks OF service and
on the completion of the season. scr
/ vice bars are awarded those whC
have performed the work well.

The dead lay in the trenches all day

We learn from Current Report that the citizens of Lovelock arr .
talking of sinking an artesian well to get a pure supply of water for 9
that town. 1t is hoped that this discussed proposition by the people of .
Loveock will not end in talk, for il this well is built the town and its 9
future will be assured, a all that is needed is good drinking water and
a drainage for some of those stagnant pools which abound in and e
around that burg. This town has been growing daily for the ear 9
and with precautions as to drainage, etc, it should n a short while be .
a prosperous and well-laidout city. q
Notwithstanding the low price of silver, the Reno Reduction works .
