OLdL AAs 4LOOtCA'
Answering the request of Con-
gresham AsweA regarding the
difference in the price of cotton
seed in Louisiana as compared
with the eastern section of the
Cotton Belt, please let me say
that last year, owing to the lack
of time to make an intelligent
study of the various zones in the
Cotton Belt, the Mississippi river
was hurriedly agreed upon as the
dividing liue. This action un-
doubtedly resulted in some injus-
tice to that section of the Cotton
Belt lying Immediately wess of
the Mississippi river.
This year we propose to make
zones that will haye due regard
to the qualities of the cottonseed
throughout the entire Cotton Belt.
We have had in mind the mat
ter presented to us by Congress
man Aswell, and | have already
given him assurance that we are
/ proceeding to correct the stu
alton.
Believe me,
Very truly yours.
| (Signed) George III. Denny,
Head Cottonseed Industry
Division.

1t has seldom happened, espec-
tally in war times, that the Pres
ident of the United States has
been called upon to take the stand
that President Wilson has in the
issue now before the people of
Mississippi, which is a matter of
national interest and Importance :
the senatorial primary. The Pres
ident has called upon our neigh
bors to repudiate him or their can
didate, Senator Vardaman, and the
whole America is awaiting their
response, which will, no doubt,
be one to their everlasting glory
and self-respect.

All of the Red Cross nurses have

Hamilton Holt Interviews Victor
Emmanuel at the Front, Where
He Lives Rugged Life
of a Soldier.
BY SMITH.

An alliance with Republican France
in the world war for Democracy Is per-
fectly understandable to every citizen
of the United States. In the case Of
our other chief Allies, however, there
are still left some old-fashioned Amer
leans, fed on the king-baiting school
histories of a generation ago, who are
a bit puzzled to find the country of
George Washington lined up with the
"king-ridden" nations of Europe.
But the King of Italy is o an old
fashioned King at all.
This view of Victor Emmanuel as a
royal democrat Is strikingly interpret
ed by Hamilton Holt, editor of The
independent, who has just returned
from Italy, where he had a most IN
usual interview with His Majesty.
Mr.. Holt went to Italy as the repre-
sentative of the Italy America So
ciety at the time of the celebration
of the third anniversary of Italy's en-
trance into the war. He was received
in Rome with much ceremony.

were over" Mr.. Holt told me, II was

provinces to the hills just behind the

modest, middle-aged little man in a
plain uniform that l could scarcely dis

nothing but a ribbon showing years of
service such as any soldier might wear.
After a hearty handshake, he invited

me into his apartment and invited me
to sit down, as any private citizen
would receive another. And 1t was a
very simple little apartment with no
hint of luxury about it. There was a
simple bed, washstand, bureau and
two or three little straight-back chairs
chairs that looked as though they
might be of maple. l remarked on the
simplicity of his quarters and he said
they were much better than some he
had occupied.

it l had forgotten all about that con-

me talking for three-quarters of an

STATE SHIPPERS
 ARGUE TROLLEY
 FREIGHT TARIFF s

Hartford, Aug. 1.-Arguments on the petition of the Connecticut Co. to increase it's freight rates throughout the state were concluded yesterday before the Public Utilities Commis- sion. Several other Connecticut ship ,pers, for the most part wholesale gro cers, were heard. Counsel for P. Berry 6, Sons of this city, said that If the proposed rates were adopted, his company would be forced to use mo- tor trucks for transportation purposes. R. W. Miller, representing the Bridgaprt Chamber of Go o~1ner said that all shippers in the state recog- nized the necessity of an increase in the companys tariffs, but that the rates which the company proposes are transportation on the company's lines prohibitive.
 J. s. Berry. W. F. Jones and E. S. Curtis presented figures for the com pany to show that, although the av- craze increase throughout the state would be from 100 to 150 per cent. the company needed the increase as proposed in order to realize any profits
 Other shippers to be represented at the hearing were the Columbia Graph ophone Co. and the Crane Go. of Bridgeport, and Loomis & Wilson and Goldschmidt & Go. of Hartford.
 The commission directed both sides to file briefs on or before August 14 after which a decision will be made
