Committee of Cotton Grow CTS, Cattle Feeders and Oil Mill Men Make Report to U. $. Food Administration

Following their action of Sunday night in deciding to ask the cotton di- vision of the food administration to lower the price of cotton seed to the same price as in California, and to lower the price of meal and hulls to the point where they would move on the market and could profitably be used by the cattle feeders, the committee acting for the cotton growers. cattle feeders, and oil men prepared com prehensive report setting forth their action and the reasons therefor. The full text of the report. which will be presented to the local food ad- ministrator, and by him forwarded to Washington, is as follows:
 Changes Should be made
 Regarding schedule of prices set and submitted by the national food admin istration applying to cotton seed and cotton products of this zone. it seems that owing to a non consideration of freight rates and marketing conditions of hulls and meal, certain changes should be made in such schedule prop erly to safeguard the industries inter- ested. Your committee beSs to submit the following report:
 After making careful inquiry into possible prices to be obtained for the products resulting from the manufac- | ture of cotton seed we find the fol- lowing conditions prevailing:
 First, as to hulls. The government food administration schedule places a price on this product of $20 per ton. | It is well known that our cattle feeders in this region are inexperienced in the feeding of this product. Practically no demand has developed for these hulls, and after consultation with all available cattle feeders we conclude that s1O per ton will be as large sum as may be secured for these hulls this season.
 Meal High Enough
 Second, as to meal We find that the food administration price for this in the Imperial district of California, in which district our oil mill men find their competition, is s51 per ton. We be- lieve it impossible to secure a greater price than this sum for this meal | Taking these facts into consideration we have concluded that s51 per ton for 36 per cent protein meal is all the oil mill men may reasonably expect to get for this product.
 Hence it is unanimously agreed by | that you should join with us in askine the food administration that theil schedule be changed to the above men tioned figures for these products
 Oil Men Shut Out
 As to the price to be paid for cotton seed this year, the oil mill men have substantiated to our satisfaction theil contention that it is highly probable that they will have to accept for their oil the schedule price of s1.31A per gallon minus freight rates to the Cali fornia refinery. These freight rates amount to, or are equal to $2 per ton in the price of cotton seed
 We believe that it is impossible fol the oil man to operate his plant and dispose of his products under the schedule of prices submitted by the ma tional food administration Therefore
Arizona republican., 1918-09-24

realizing that it is of prime necessity that the grower be furnished a ready market for his seed, and that present world conditions have so increased the price of grains and fodder as to make the feeding of food animals hazardous, and that a just consideration of this subject must have in view the main tenance of adequate supplies of food for ourselves and our allies, this com mittee recommends to you that you ask the national food administration 10 amend the schedule submitted for this zone in the following particulars:
 Recommend New Scale
 That the price of cotton seed in car load lots to the grower be made S66 per ton. with the proviso that should the present schedule price of s1.31A per gallon for oil be maintained by govern ment agency, or that should our oil mill men be able to obtain this price to them through other channels, or be able to obtain a price sufficient to net to them any fractional part of such S2 differnce in freight rates. then they make to the grower a later supple mental payment of s2 per ton additional for their seed or such fractional part thereof as they may thus be able to save. That the price of hulls and meals be changed to the figures hereinbefore mentioned.
 Respectfully submitted,
 Representing cotton growers, Frank H. Parker, chairman; J. Garnett Holmes, C. A. Martin.
 Representing cattlemen, Levi Young John R. Norton.
 Representing oil mills, Herbert B. Atha, T. W. McDevitt.

Response to Need of Belgians Is Not What was Expected
 And Red Cross Committee Sends Out Another Appeal

According to those in charge of the movement, the response to the appeal sent out by the Red Cross for used clothing to be sent to Belgium has not been what was exected.
 Therefore, all persons are again re- quested to make a thorough search of their premises for such articles as are desired. a list of which was printed by The Republican recently, and either send them to the Red Cross headquar- ters in the War Work building, or telephone the headquarters and they will be sent for.
 clothing has been adopted, and this method consists of having persons who have contributions to make, put them in a bundle and place them on their front porches or doorsteps marked, For the Red Cross" Red Cross work CTS in automobiles will make thor ough canvass of the city for the pur- pose of gathering such packages. Time Is Short
 It is urged that all contributions be dispatched so as to reach Red Cross headquarters as soon as possible. This is due to the fact that the time allotted for the collection is limited and also because many of the articles will need cleaning and repairing, and it takes time to do this.
 In this connection, it was stated that the ladies of the Christian church will meet this morning for the purpose ot repairing such garments as have been received up to this time.
 While the original call for Belgian relief was for mems clothing, an ad- ditional call was received at Red Cross headquarters yesterday. This calls for boys, girls and infants wear and | miscellaneous articles. a list of which 1 follows What Are Needed Girls wear-Dresses. skirts, over coats, night dresses. drawers, stock ings (size 1-6), undergarments, petti- coats. suits (2-piece), blouses. shoes.

MACK TAXES CRACK
 AT LIBERTY BONDS

Mack Gardner, admitted to be about as keen man in selecting. diamonds as anyone in this part of the country, is just about as keen when it comes to buying Liberty bonds.
 After having made record last year in that respect to be proud of. Mack started in this year to beat it. When the sale of Fourth Liberty Loan bonds opened yesterday morning he was right at the head of the line and took the first bond. He placed this bond in the old strong box where now reposes $2500 in like bonds. Mack has declared his intention to buy as many Liberty bonds this campaign as in the three previous ones.

the War
Is Only Issue Now.
Says Will II. Hays
No Time for Politics, De-
clares Republican. Leader
at Red Cross Rally

Will II. Hays, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, was the
principal speaker at the Red Cross
meeting, held at the New York City
college auditorium last night. He de-
clared this was no time to think or
talk politics; that the one vital issue
THIS country now had to face WAS win-
ming the war
After declaring that there must be
industrial peace and that the T. W..
WIS if they sought to foment trouble
should be treate0 as traitors and stood
up against wall and shot, the
speaker told his hearers some tales of
German atrocities as they had been re-
lated to him by friends returned from
the front. The Red Cross, he said, was
the one great humanizing element in
the whole world at present.
A vivid story Of just what Red Cross
aid means to the fighting man was
told BY Sergeant II. NJ Radermacher,
of the first Canadian contingent. He
served three years and five days in the
trenches of Flanders.
Chairman Hays said in part
Mr.. Hays reused his audience when
moment since August 1914, when it
was not inevitable that the United
States would enter the war.
"rhe trampiing upon American
rights by the Imperial German govern
ment was an expected step in the pro
ceedings,' he continued. "'and we have
gone to France to fight because the
battle is there to be fought on French
soil first, and if not fought and wor
there it will have to be fought ano
won here. The world has become toe
small for, autocracy and democracy tt
live together, and one has to die"
Mr.. Hays describes atrocities perpe
trated by the German soldiers on peo-
pie he knew. One case was that of 6
Red Cross nurse, both of whose hands
were cut off by German soldiers, ant
the other that of two little Belgian
girls, one fourteen and the other ff
|'tcen, who are now being cared for by
friends of his in Indiana not far from
his home.
"These girls-mere children--under
sized and with the horrors Of wha
they nave been through pictured or
gium," continued Mr.. Hays. German
soldiers went through their town. Ant
the two children are pregnant. Thai
is what we are fighting to stop, and We
will fight until we make certain thai
this kind of business cannot go on il
God Almighty's world. And we will
continue to fight until victorious
American arms have forever ended the
intolerable arrogance of that scien
tifcally trained brutality. We will
nave peace, but only peace by victory
and never peace by bargaining"
He said there must be industria
peace so that every atom of brain and
ounce Of Drawn will go where needed
mosNt to help the common cause. Those
who resort to sabotage, whether l. W
WIS, or not, who go about seeking
whom and what they can destroy
should be tried and stood up against
a wall ard shot
