eslNNERS ARE URGED TO
 SAyETNE SITUATION
Are Advised to Shut Down Until the
 Cotton Is Dried Out; Many Requests Sent Gut.

w. A. Isgrig. secretary and treas urer of the Arkansas State Ginners' Association. has sent 1,500 letters to the ginners of the state, urging them to see that farmers do not pick their cotton while it is wet:
 The letter follows:
 We are facing disaster.
 We can lessen it by prompt, firm and universal cooperation If cotton is picked and ginned wet, the lint will bring $50 to $50 per bale less, and seed will be total loss. Shut down your gin and urge your customers to not pick any cotton until clear weather comes and cotton thoroughly dries in the bolls. Tell them kindly but firmly that you positively will not gin their cotton if they bring it to the gin wet If they will pick it wet, force them to spread it out and dry before you gin it. Warn them not to let it heat, because in heating it sets the stain in the lint and utterly destroys the value of the seed. Some may be shortsighted en. ough to groWl about it, but it is for the farmers own good first, the ginners next and thereafter the cotton buyers, manufacturers, merchants, bankers, oil mills insurance companies, transpor- tation companies. and last but not least, the welfare of every man, wo- man and child the world over that has to be fed and clothed from the pro ducts of the cotton crop.
 "Ginners, you, in a larger degree than any other class, can serve your country in this crisis Will you do it? 1 believe you Will,

PHOHl MEASURE VETOED;
 PASSED AGAIN IN HOUSE
SOions Act Within Three Hours After Receiving Measure; President
 DisapprOyes Measure.

Washington, Oct. 27. - President Wilson vetoed the prohibition enforce ment bill this afternoon and the House oi Representatives promptly repassed 1f6 to 55, which was 20 votes more tlan the requisite two-thrds major ity
 | is expected that the Senate promptly will take the same action and that the bill will become a law tl.:S week, the executive to the con trary notwithstanding Tn the Senate the dry majority is even more oFer- whemne than in the House. the Sen ate having refused to repeal wartime prohibition several months ago by a vote of II to B.
 The president vetoed the measure because he objected to and could not approve that part of this legislatioI with reference to wartime prohibit tion. He said that purposes of the wartime prohibition legillation had been satisfied in the demobolizing of the army and navy and added:
 Where the purposes of particular legislation arising out of war emer- gency have been satisfied sound public policy makes clear the reason and ne cessity for repeal
 Tho prociJont aIuico1 tn separate the two questions of war time and constitutional prohibition and legislate on each independently of the other.
 Tn all matters having to do with the personal habits and customs of large numbers of our people, we must be certain that the established process es of legal change are followed,' said the veto message. In no other way can the salutaiy object sought to be accomplished by great reforms of this character be made satisfactory and permanent
 PrOhibitiOnistS in Rage.
 The adrys were up in arms over the veto as soon as the message was presented to the House late in the afternoon. They accused the presi- dent of seeking to nullify wartime prohibition and rejecting a measure for the effective enforcement of a law he is sworn to enforce. The presi- dents objection to legislation forcing law which he believes ought to be repealed stirred the drys to demand immediate action to pass the bill over the veto. They saie chat Congress had rejected the recommendation of the president last May to repeal the war time prohibition act and branded the presidents objections to enforcement as houting the will of Congress-
 There is no doubt that the president would lift the ban on the sale of liquor at once if he could have his way. But the wartime prohibition act provides it shall continue in fonce until the termination of the war and Attorney General Palmer has construed that as meaning the formal proclamation of peace following the ratification of the peace treaties Inasmuch as the rati- fcation of the German treaty is not in sight and as the Austrian treaty has not yet been considered, the prospect of a wet holiday before the advent of the constitutional prohibition on Jan uary 16, 1920, is not bright.
 It was because of this legal inability to call off wartime prohibition that the president desired the repeal of the act when first major purpose had been fulfilled by the demobilization of the army and navy.

Irrigation Being Neglected
BY LEROY Childsl

There are good many orchards
throughout the valley which are and
have been suffering for want of water.
Neglect in watering can lead to much
trouble and should be avoided abso.
utely. Orchards in cover crops need
much more water than those in clean
cultivation in order that sufficient
moisture be supplied to keep both of
these crops growing.
The injury which results to the tree
from the burning out of the moisture
is very serious The root hairs and
feeders are destroyed and the root
system so disorganized that two or
three years are required for recovery.
Die back in the trees and core rotted
or pitted apples are the indications of
such an injury to the root system.
Uniformity in moisture and food are
essential in the mantenace of vigorous
and productive orchards. Some neg

years to make recovery. During this
time production and income are great

WORDS IN SEASON

Too many politicians are inclined to get down
on their "all tours" and grovel before organized
labor, organized reform or organized anything
known to be strong enough to command a con-
siderable vote, but happily there are exceptions,
and a notable exception is our own John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi. In addition to the fact
that he Use courageous by nature, he represents
an agricultural State and can afford to refuse to
wear the collar of either labor or capital. He can
and does speak as an independent on-looker, de-
voted to the interests of the country in general.
In his recent patriotic address in the Senate he
said exactly what other independent and patriot
ic on-lookers wish to hear. For example:
II. for one, am tired of these combinations Of
interests, these instruments bent upon usurping
cur right to legislate. There is capital, on the one
hand, with its lockouts, and there is labor, on the
sther, threatening to paralze the nation with
strike if we do not heed its demands. | have
just read the warning of certain labor leaders
that if the Plumb plan is not adopted the whole
transportation system Of the country might break
down, which means that tens of thousands of
babies in such cities as New York, Chicago, Bait
imCre and St. Louis will perish for lack of milk
which means that the country will lie PROSTATE
and that The American people will %stagnate. Then
| read that the private soldiers union would strike
TO enforce it's demands. The workers on the one
hand and the soldiers on the other-all threatening
IS. This is nothing more or less than Russian
sovietism. But there is something in this country
that does not exist in Russia. There is a bulWarh
here that will save America and which will DEFY
tvery criminal conspiracy which this element or
hat may leid itself to for the undermining OF
that may lend itself to for the undermining OF
American middle class-that vast multitude OF
sane, brave men and women who now own anC
{ run this country and will continue to do so ever
) f they have to fight to do it."
