Even il ratification of the treaty
were completed during November. It
is not expected that the league
would be called to meet here until
early next year. . Meantime. how
ever. a meeting might be held in
Paris and London after three of the
allied nations have ratified the
treaty. Such a session probably
would be comparatively brief. with
appointment of the Saar Basin
commission and of a high commits
>sioner as the principal business.
Such q meeting would bring in
tensely interesting people here and
would insure a gala social season.
Washington certainly gives promise
of being an intensely interesting
place to live for an indefinite period
Some more gossip, let's see,
l have heard that Miss Read, wife
of Lieut.. Commander Read. who flew
across the Atlantic Ocean. is going to
give a most interesting reception on
the NC-4 on the 18th Of the month. The
story goes that her husband is now
coming down the Atlantic coast from
Boston, or thereaboutsy in the aero
plane. and when it gets here Miss Read
will entertain a bunch of diplomats
and officials at an interesting party
on it.

HEFLIN PRESENTS COTTON'S CASE ID
 COMMISSIONERS
 IF AGRICULTURE
Says Prosperity of Cotton Producer Is Reflected in Every Industry in
 the Country

Chicago. November 12.-(speciaL) Congressman Heflin of Alabama male a speech on cotton at the morning session of the commissioners of agri- culture in convention here. The sub- jec, assigned him was"Cotton and Its Importance From National View point" Iic spoke in part as follows;
 'Nlr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: More than 5000 years ago cotton was found growing in India, and lierodotus tells us that the na- 1ives called it tree wool and that it exceeded in beauty and goodness the wool of the sheep. The army of XerNes wore uniforms made of cotton. The Creeks used a kind of cotton goods for saddle blankets 800 years before Christ. Cotton sacks are mentioned in the tales of the Arabian Knights, and Cortez used cotton to stuff the jackets of his soldiers to protect them from the arrows of the natives. Blankets made of cotton have oeen found in the ancient tombs of Peruvian mummies.
 'IE the heydav of the republic In- dia muslin made of cotton was worn and highly prized by the coquettish James of Rome. In the far-off time Of the Pharoahs cotton was worn as head dress by the dark-eyed Egyptian women and prized for it's beauty and for it's glory. It grew in sight of the Pyramids ard cotton robes were worn by the priests of Egypt. Wicks woven

stock, fertilizers, implements and everything that enters into the cost of production has made 1t necessary for the producer to demand and re- ceive a higher price for cotton than he formerly received. In the boil weev.I infected area which now covers half of the cotton belt cotton produc-
 ton is exceedingly difficult and is
 much more expensive than in other
 sections and the yield per acre is very small Here tremendous losses are sustained. One county in my district in Alabama that produced 45,000 bales of cotton prior to tne coming of the boil weevil was cut in production in two years time under boil weevil con ditions to 4000 bales. This instance gives you an idea of the losses sus- tained by our cotton farmers in the holl weevil infected area. A great many people who do not live in the cotton producing section of our great country have gotten the impression somehow that the cotton producers are revelling in wealth acquired from the sale of cotton in the last two years. The facts do not justify such an im- pression.
 DIVERSIFIED FARMING
 'The measure of prosperity now en- joyed by the cotton producers of the south is due more to diversified farm ing than to any other cause. Diversi- fled farming has enabled the producer to keep his cotton off the market when prices were unsatisfactory and un- profitable and the farmer who under the one-crop system was forced to sell cotton when he needed a little money now sells a few bushels of corn, peas, peanuts or potatoes or something else hay. cattle or hogs. produced on the farm. Not only that, our cotton farm CTS have learned by actual experience that they can make more money pro- ducing other things, and this fact has helped to sound the death kne1l of the one-crop system in the cotton growing states. The cotton producer has to combat grass and weeds and red spi- ders, army worms and boil weevils in the growth gseason and at the fruit ing time. and after he has finished his battle with all these and emerges with only a few bales of cotton he then en- counters in the market place an army of bear spectators and spinners. com posed of companies. regiments and di- visions from every quarter of the globe, and he is compelled to fight on until the last pouno is sold in order to obtain the cost of production plus profit So with the cotton producer time and money and eternal vigilance and perseverance constitute the price he must pay for reasonable profit.

.CORDOVA MURDER
 STILL ENSHROUDED
 IN DEEP MYSTERY
Police Working on Two Clues, That of Robbery and That of Political N
 Murder
By Associated Pess

New Orleans, November 12.-Mystery continued to ershroud early tonight the murder of pr. Leopoldo Cordova. Jr, formAr consul for Honduras here, and the wounding of his wife at lonely spot near the city last night. The police are working on the two clues that of roopery and that of political murder.
 Mrs. Cordova was at the hospital to- night near the point of death with bullet said to be penetrating her prain' and at times telling incoherently or tne attack by men when the autono oo1le sle and her husband were in had stalled. The machine was found today some distance away from the spot of the murder and Tn it was a piece o1 wearing apparel Which was said to be Mrs Cordova's. It was bloodstained.
 JEWELRY MISSING
 Policemen are rounding up all aVaii- able witnesses, but so far have only CIT cumstantial evidence which points to- ward robbery. Jewelry valued at s1oO ana $40 in cash were taken from the oooy and from Mrs Cordova, who remained all night in a ditch near the body or nei husband until she was found early toudy.
 The murder happened some time last night. Mir and Mrs. Cordova went oue for an automobile ride and ieIt Nneai 6-fear-old daughter, Auciiie' aI Ho cording to the police she had not oeen worried over the prolonged absence ri her parents. ss she said they frequently went out driving at night.
 Mrs. Cordova has given two conriict- ing accounts, according to the pohce' who had to use an interpreter as sne speaks only Spanish. In main, ner ac count of the killing was consistent with the exception of the numDer ol men and the start of the ride.
 ACCOUNTS DIFFER
 She first said one man offered ms services as a chauffeur when they were having trouble with the car ana drove them to the scene of the murder and there killed her husband ana struck her over the head. Her later account was that two mep attackeo her husband when the car stopped ana that he put up stubborn fight before being shot to death. Policemen say that the spot shows there was a strus- gle before he was killed.

Farmers Enthusiastic
 Over Weevil Poisoning
Rx Assnciated Pres

Washington November 12.-Controi of the cotton boil weevil by methods of poisoning, applied by machinery, has re- ceived the enthusiastic attention of farmers, the department of agriculture announced today.
 A bulletin will be published shortly containing directions for aphcation of the insecticide for the benefit of manu- featuring concerns and farmers.
 Of the three types of machinery now being used> for weevil poisoning, the wheel traction type appears to be the most promising.
