Prize Winners.

The baby show was one OF the mos!
interesting features Of the fair. The
Judges were experts and considered
the babies entirely from the norma
point Of view. A child might be a
fine physical specimen, yet be over
developed and abnormally large, los
ing for that reason. The doctors
said the babies were the finest lot
they had examined, therefore the
winners may be proud of winning
with such competition.

Insist OH Fair Prices.
"The farmers now for the first
time" said Congressman Heflin, "are
being organized and they will insist
that they be paid what they are
entitled to-a fair price for cotton,
price which will repay them for
their labor and investment and give
them reasonable profit" The Ala
bama representative spoke In place
of Senator Smith, of South Carolina,
who because of illness, was unable
to attend the conference.
D. s. Murphy, of the United States
Department of Agriculture, ex-
planned the uniform classification of
cotton. r. N. Durfee, Of Fall River,
Mass, defended the present methods
of buying cotton.
Able to Finance Cotton.
England, the Scandinavian coun-
tries and Spain will be able this year
to finance their importations Of cot
ton without outside assistance.
Italy, France and Belgium will need
assistance, and Poland and Bohemia
not only will need help, but are
striving with only partial success to
ascertain where such aid is coming
from. These assertions were made
at meeting tonight Of the commit
tee OF financing foreign credits and
exports Of the world cotton confer
ence, in session here.

DIRECT BUYING is URGED,
Spinners' Agents Would Come Direct
to tho South to Buy Cotton.

New Orleans, Oct. 15.-Britlsh
cotton spinners were urged to-day
to send representatives to the fields
Of the South, buy cotton from the
farmer direct, bale the staple as
they see fit, eliminating all middle
men and reducing the cost of the
raw material to the spinner, at the
same time increasing the price paid
to the producer.
This proposal, along the lines Of
the systems used by the British to-
bacco manufacturing interests in
Kentucky, was made at a meeting
late to-day Of special committee of
world cotton conference delegates,
composed of ten foreign spinners,
ten American spinners and twenty
American cotton growers.
1t was the first time in fifty years,
1t was stated, that American cotton
producers and British spinners had
met in formal conferences.
The meeting, which brought both
ends OF the cotton industry together
assured the success Of the confer
ence, leaders stated tonight.
Speakers agreed that no arbitrary
price could be fixed for any given
period for cotton, owing mainly to
the tremendous fluctuations in the
amounts Of cotton picked in relation
to the amount planted in different
years.
Conditions Of weather and of in
sect depredations made 1t impossi-
Bile, 1t was stated, to set an advance
price on the staple, as the growing
costs cannot be estimated until the
crop has been garnered and ginned.
1t was agreed by speakers, how
ever, that profits were being made
by middlemen who had no direct In
terests in the growing, spinning or
manufacturing branches of the in
dustry, the consumer having higher
prices to pay for the finished article
than would be necessary under strict
regulation Of the industry.

DAMAGE TO COTTON A CRIME.
Cotton Farmers Will Get Fair Price
for Their Staple.

New Orleans, Oct. 15.-DeterM MI
nation of the blame for damage to
cotton and the necessity Of better
warehousing for the product from
the farmer to the consumer were
topics brought out emphatically on
the second day Of the world cotton
conference here, with q spirited de-
bate at times developing between the
growers and the buyers.
e. A. Calvin, of Houston, Texas
said that the country damage"
annually would build sufficient ware
houses for protection Of the crop in
the South.
Governor Beckett, of North Caro-
lima, said everybody was to blame
for the damage and denounced the
leaving Of the cotton in the rain as
"a deliberate economic crime"
w. G. Turner. of Little Rock,
scored the railroads for damage to
cotton in transit. Following the
charges frc N growers that buyers
resorted to short weighing a counter
charge was, hurled on the floor of
growers deliberately leaving baled
cotton in the rain to absorb moisture
and gain weight.
Defends Growers.
Col. w. B. Thompson, Of New Or
leans, defended the growers and de-
clared 1t would be impossible to in
crease acreage unless q fair price
was guaranteed. Spinners, factors
and ginners were also blamed for
damage, and the English delegation
asserted that the United States bales
are blunders In wrapping and COM
pressing and cause a heavy loss in
shipping.
Financing Of American sales to
Europe through control of the dis
tribution Of raw materials and sup
plies was advocated in an address
delivered at the night session OF the
conference by John Bolinger, vice
president OF the National Shawmut
Bank Of Boston. Under Mr.. Boiling

shipped from Europe on a five years
credit basis. Bills would be payable
in the United States.

POI SHENISM CANNOT
HIDE ITS BRUTALITY,

If there remained the smallest
doubt that the tenets of Bolshevism
are utterly and eternally abhorrent
to the fundamental principles and
ideals of Americans, or other self
respecting peoples, that doubt must
be removed by testimony submitted
TO the senate investigating committee
regarding the position assigned to
women in Bolshevst Russia.
The Specialization of women between
the ages of II and 80, whether mar
ried or unmarried, as provided in a
decree issued by the anarchist soviet
to which Lenin and Trotzky entrusted
the government of the city of Sara
tov. is one of the most revolving, de-
graded perversions of the social state
that ever outraged civilization.
With AL their wretched pretense of
word and phrase, the trainers of the
decree could not keep its brutal ugly
motive from showing through. Lee
ultimate marriage is denounced as the
instrument" thanks to which all the
hest snacies If all the beautiful women
have been the property of the bour-
goise."
Rolehevism can pirate of human
rights and equality. 1t cannot cover
its hideous underlying horrors of lust
and license.

TIE MIKADO PLAYED TO
PACKED HOlISE.

Gilbert and Sull!van's comic opera
The Mikado", played to a packed
house Friday evening at the high
school auditorium. Indeed the house
was so well packed that standing room
was at a premium. The costumes
used by the cast were from Chicago
and the electric effects, small para
soils and large Japanese umbrella,
electrically lighted as well as Japan
ese lanterns, all added greatly to the
artistic setting of the scenes
Dale Snyder as Nanka Poo, showed
ability, and demonstrated that he pos
sesses voice of much promise. Bob
Ferguson as Pish Tush was a scream.
Hugh Graham in Pooh Bah was eX-
cellent. Koko, despite his recent ILL
ness which absented him from many
rehearsals. showed a good interpre-
tation of his role. Nelma Pritchard
as Katesha, was very clever. both her
acting and her voice showing great
ability Betty Morrissette as Yum
Yum endeared herself to her audience.
The roles of Pitt Sing and Peep 30
sung by Marcella Matson and Grace
Winfrey, both attendants of Yum
Yum, showed a great deal of humor.
Edmund Espinosa, the petite Mikado,
we'll attended by his gigantic" at
tendant. caused roars of laughter, In
fact the production deserves com
mendation and was presented with a
vim and perfection frequently over
looked by more experienced players.
