ARCADIA COTTON MARKET
ATTRACTS MANY FARMERS

The employment by the Arcadia
Bonded Warehouse Co., of an cyncrt
cotton classer or grader has met with
the hearty approval of the majority
or the farmers bringing their cotton
mere for market. Saturday something
over 40 bales were delivered here, and
brought anywhere from Soc to Soc per
pound according to grade.
IN expressing their approval of huy.
Ins an expert grader to class the cotton
Ter the local market here, a number of
the best farmers of this community
stated to representative of the Demo.
crat Saturday, that they were highly
pleased in every respect. They saif
that while they did not get quite a.
much perhaps on cotton which they
knew was Of inferior grade as they
dld before grader was employed. the
difference was very much in their
favor because they realized so much
more for their really good staple. One
farmer said he received all the way
from $500 to $1,000 per bale on s
bales over what he would have receiv.
cd without a grader.
This is easily explained, for as mat.
ters now stand on the local cotton
market, the man with good cotton gets
4 good grade emitting him to good
price and the man with the inferior
grade gets a price accordingly. The
merchant now pays for just the grade
he receives. just as the farmers got
the top price for what he sells, accord.
Ing to grade. This is fair both to the
farmer and merchant alike.
More than 1000 bales had been re-.
ceivcd here up until last Tuesday night
We understand that up to the latter
part Of last week less than 800 wagon
bales had been bought in Shreveport.

DISTRIBUTION NOT UNIFORM
Mile Of Public Road in the

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agriculture)
The total road mileage of the
United States outside Incorporated
towns and cities is about 2.456,O0O
miles. With total registration of
8,148,817 motor vehicles there was,
therefore, an average of % motor
cars for every mile of public road in
the United States. The distribution
of cars among the several states, how
ever, is far from uniform. Thus, Ne
vada has but two cars to every three
miles of road, while Rhode Island has
10 cars to each mile of rural road.
Furthermore, while there was an aver
age of one motorcar registration for
every 10 persons In the United States.
In the states of California and Ne
braska there was one car for every
seven persons, and one car for every
eight persons in Iowa and South Da-
kota, but only one car for every 81
persons in Alabama, every 46 in Louis

tion is designed to prevent automo-
biles used In mountain touring from
running backwards down steep roads
should anything go wrong with the
regular brakes.
1t is the Invention of George Stick
ney of Oregon. 1t consists of har-
row-like frame suspended from a
crosswise shaft pivoted to the chassis
frame directly back Of the engine and
lowered into contact with the road by
means of n system of levers controlled
by q hand lever and notched quad
rant In the drivers cab. The sharp.
tooth-like points of the harrow dig in
to- the ground and hold the car In
place until the engine can be started
again and the clutch thrown In. They
also serve to hold the car until 1t gets
under way. This eliminates the dan
ger of starting under the same contii-
tion without the device, in which case
the conventional brakes must be re-
leased before the clutch is thrown in.
This might allow the car to gain suffi-
cient backward momentum to prevent
the engine from starting and permit
the car to drop of the road II the
brakes cannot hold it.-Popular Sci

CLAIM RAILS
PLUNDERED
BIG DIVIDENDS PAID ON BONUS
STOCK UNDER PRIVATE
SYSTEM.
PLUMB MAKES CHARGE
RAIL BRoTHERHooDs LAY CLAIM
BEFORE INTERSTATE
COMMITTEE.
western Newspaper Union New. Service.

| fFehtern Newspaper bHion -NtNs stiNite.
Washington, Aug. 13.-The railroad
brotherhoods, thru their counsel, Glenn
Il. Plumb, laid before the House inter
state commerce committee their
charges of corruption in the manage
ment of the railroads under private
control. The charges were that many
of The great railway systems had been
plundered Systematically by the finan
cial interests and that the railroads
Illegally held millions of acres of pub
lie lands.
Eighteen representative railroads of
the country, the brotherhood attorney
asserted, issued stock aggregating
$3.50, 0,414,OOO between 1900 and 1910 as
bonuses and paid millions of dollars in
dividends on these bonuses. These
same railroads, he further charged
were controlled in whole or in part
by the Morgan interests, the Rockefel-
Ter interests and the Gould interests"
Coupled with the charges which
came just before the House committee
closed its hearings on organized la
bor's bill for elimination of private
capital from railroad ownership, was
the demand by Mr. Plumb that Con-
gress make a thoro investigation of the
matter so that the American people
may know ito whit extent it is sought
to subject them TO exploitation" under
the other plans proposed for future
disposition of the railroads.
There was no intmation as to what
course the committee might take in
regard to the request for an investi-
cation. Chairman Esch indicated that
to go into the charges would be like
travelling over old ground, as they had
been threshed out long ago.
Plumb told the committee that he
either had the evidence TO support
every charge or knew where it could
be obtained. Presentation of the
charges apparently failed to arouse
much interest among members.
A. b. Garretson, former head of the
Order of Railway Conductors, declared
with utmost frankness that If vote
were taken today the country probably
would reject organized labor's plan.
He explained, however, that this would
be due to general suspicion against
new things, and he predicted that ii
would be indorsed and adopted in the
not distant future.
The opinion was expressed by Mr.
Garretson that there had been no fair
test of government operation of rail
roads, since being taken over they had
been operated by officials who were
opposed to government ownership and
wanted to demonstrate that 1t was not
best for the country.
With the filing of Plumb's charges
the committee concluded hearings on
his plan for public ownership and EN-
ploye operation of the roads and will
take up later the plans to be offered
by security holders and railway execu
tives, both of which, labor officials
have testified, are more radical than
that framed by Mr.. Plumb and in
dorsed by the brotherhoods.
