More than 600o,00 bales of last years crop are still unsold; much of it is still in the hands of the farmer with little or no demand for it at a price that will return even the cost of production, to say nothing of profit.
 "The cotton crop last year cost much more to produce thant the average crop, because of a scarcity of labor and high CT prices for seed, feed, farm equipment, etc.

Question as to Whether North Dakota
Miners VIII Be Called Out.

Bismarck, N. D., Oct 3o.-Under
the original strike order of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, more
than fifteen hundred organized Ignite
miners would be called out in North
Dakota on November /, said s. S.
Mcdonald, president of the North Da,,
kota Federation Of Labor, interviewed
on the subject yesterday. Mr.. Melon
aid, however stated that there was
question as to whether the North Da-
kota mine workers would be called
out for the reason that the mine oper-
ators of this state do not belong to the
bitumiYous association and therefore
might not be bound by any dealings
which this organization may have
with the United Mine Workers.
every mine of any consequence
but one in North Dakota is organized"
said President Mcdonald. "The mine
workers in this state control about
seventy percent of the total output"
Commercial production Of Ignite
last year aggregated between two and
a half and three million tons. Two
thirds of the state or practically all
of the territory from jamestown to
the Montana line, rely almost wholly
upon native fuel. There are in this
area two or three dozen large produc-
ing districts, with a total Of more
than two hundred active mines.
II Governor Frazier has already So
luton for the crisis with which Pres
ident Wilson's cabinet is now Crap
ping. He would "curb private greed -

plan, and later nationalist the mines
and turn them over to the workers.

directed verdict for the defendant in
the $4,000 damage suit brot by VIM.
F. Gum against the Standard Oil Co.
Gum drove tank wagon for the
= Standard Oil Co., which went over q
high embankment on the north hill
in Minot. Gum received severe in
juries and claims that he will be dis
abled for life. He claimed that the
cab, which was a part of the tank
wagon, prevented him from jumping
away to safety when the wagon start
ed down the embankment The de-
tense sought to prove that the injury
was caused by the mans own careless
ness in driving too close to the edge Of
the bank.

John H. Jones, the jury returned a
verdict in favor Of the defendant. Sco-
field bought an elevator in South Da-
