THE COTTON SITUATION OPENED
To congressman Of North and West,
Who SEQ from II New Angle.

Columbia, June 81. Skottowe
Wannamaker, president of the Amer
lean Cotton Association, is daily re-
ceiving letters from members of Con-
gress acknowledging receipt of in
formation sent them by the associa-
ton regarding the cotton situation
and promising protection for the
South.
The following letter from Repre-
sentative NJ. o. Mclaughlin, Of the
Fourth Nebraska District, was re-
ceiyed to-day, and Mr.. Wannamaker
says that 1t Is. ;tYpical Sof the. replica
that are coming IN from the North
ern and Western Representatives.:
81 beg to acknowledge receipt
Of your COMMUNICATION Of May 2Sth
setting forth the cost Of production
and giving valuable information as
to the c0ttol industry and its future
needs and prospects.
'ln response ! will say that | have
filed your letter with the enclosed
bulletins for reference at the proper
time in the SiNty-siXth Congress, and
! beg to assure You mat | stand for
an unbiased program that will pro-
tcct all Of our citizens and every in
duStry in every part OF the country.
We are Il great nation, bound toge-
ther by indissolublc ties, and you
can depend upon my standing for
justice to the industries of the South
just as conscientiously as | will for
those Of any part of our great COM
mOnWealth.
Gets South'S Viewpoint.
President Wannamaker said this
afternoon. that other members Of
Congress had written him thanking
him most heartily for the informa-
ton. One Representative stated that
the letter gave him the viewpoint of
the South and had opened his eyes
regarding the cost Of production Of
cotton.
ut is not very pleasant subject
to dwell upon, but we are obliged to
admit" said President Wannamaker,
:"that there has been right much pre-
judice against the South in the
North and West. ] have felt all
along that this was due to lack of
information in the North of condi-
tons that prevail in the South The
NOrtherner has an idea that cotton
can be produced for little or nothing,
and that practically all that the
Southern farmer gets for it is clear
profit.
"The American Cotton Association
is endeavoring to show that the cost
Of production Is really very great,
and also to show them that the South
has never gotten anything like what
Il ought to have received for its cot
ton.
"The letters which are coming in
from members of Congress are very
encouraging. Many of the Congress-
men have written, as has Represen-
tative Mclaughlin, Of Nebraska, as
suring us that we can depend on
their standing for justice for the
South"
Georgia Bankers Act.
A letter to President Wannamaker
from Haynes McFadden, secretary of
the Georgia Bankers Association,
brings the news that the Georgia
convention has endorsed the pur-
poses Of the association. The letter
from Mr.. McFadden says:
81 take pleasure in advising you
that the Georgia Bankers Conven-
ton at Tybee last week passed res
olution endorsing your aims and pur-
poses, formal copy Of which will
be forwarded to you as soon as the
official reporter has had time to
transcribe his notes."

ARIZONA WILL BUILD
 GREAT ROAD SYSTEM
Stakeholder Branch Mana ger Says Highways and Oil
 Main Topics Discussed

Arizona wants good roads-and needs them. This state, where the motor ve- hicle has become the principal means of transportation, is planning a com prehensive system of trunk lines. which will be welcomed as one of the most important steps yet taken in the devel- opment of this wonderful state.
 This information was brought back to Los Angeles by E. R. Carpenter. manager of the Studebaker corpora t1ons branch in that city, after a 2250 mile tour over Arizona recently. With his supervisor of service Mr. Carpenter visited every country but three in the northeastern corner. The Stakeholder officials drove a Studehaker 60-horse- power bfg-six and made remarkable tlme' despite the condition of some of the roads.
 They are eager for good roads in Arizona said MT. Carpenter. That does not apply to any one section-a II Arizona wants roads I visited nine , teen Studebaker dealers and talked with various men throughout the state. and there is demand for an adequate up- to-date highway system
 Arizona deserves much credit for h .r progressiveness in the good roads work. There are vast areas of sparsely-ss,- tied districts, so that the cost will fall upon the comparative few But that is not keeping them back They know that good roads will be d wonderful as set for the state.
 And good roads is not the only ah sorbing topic. There is the all-import- ant topic of oil. The ssa.e is going ,n

 This engine, with it's sleeve-valve construction, improves with use, it has been proven. Carbon instead of de- creasing its efficiency increases it.
 Wilys Light generator is shunt wound for 32 volts. It delivers 75O watts. The armature of the genera tor, the engine fly wheel and crank shaft are constructed in practically one piece thus eliminating separate generator bearings and reducing friction.
 The battery consists of 16 cells with nine plates to the cell. These are enclosed in sealed glass jars. They nave a capacity of 160 ampere hours.
 The quality and dependability of the new system is assured by the very fact that John N. Willys has permitted it to take his name.
 With the electric auto-lite, a company long engaged in the manufacture of electric lighting and starting systems for automombiles, producing it. there 1t no doubt as to the high standards of manufacture which will enter into it's construction.
 The extensive sales and service or ganizations of this company and it's great factory facilities make it obvious that purchasers will not lack for ser vice attention.
 The new lighting system is adapted to an increasing number of uses In addition to its general utility on the farm, it is available for cotton gins. lumber and construction camps oil and gas pumping stations, mines, stores, garages, dairies, telephone exchanges in smaller towns, warehouses and sta tons. It also may be utilized for hos pitals, fishing and hunting clubs, coun- try homes, street, store and home light ing in small towns, theatres, military camps, and in summer resorts and cot ages

A modern electric lighting and power plant for farms, rural schools, and churches, suburban homes, yachts, etc. is to be manufactured by one of the John N. willys companies. The Flee tric Auto-Lite corporation of Toledo, Ohio.
 The new system will be known as Willys Light. It will be marketed by the Willys Light Division of The Elec- tric Auto-Light corporation through distributors and dealers. The formation of the sales organizat ton is now under way. It will extend throughout the United States and eventually through out the world
 The new system is said to be the most complete that has yet been placed on the market It is operated by a Willys-Knight sleeve-valve motor, a motor known for it's simplicity of op- eration and it's quietness. The engine has been developed to such an extent that 1t requires practically no atten- tion and is so simple that child can operate 1t, according to those who have observed it.
 The complete plant consists of a Willys-Rnight engine, a directly con necte6 generator, a simple control box and storage battery. The Knight engine burns kerosene at approximately one-half the cost of gasoline.
 It is air-cooled, self-cranking, self running, and self stopping. The con trol is semi-automatic
 The noisy poppet valves are elfminat- ed in the Willys Knight engine. In their place are two cylindrical sleeves. one within the other, which glide sil- ently up and down between the piston and the cylinder wall.

THE FAIR SEX
 AND THE BATTERY
Local Willard Dealer Talks About
 Real Service

Leave 1t to woman to take good care Of car," says W. H. Young, the Willard Service Station dealer. q found out long time ago that when the woman of the family drives and takes real interest in a car. it not only looks better. but runs better too.n
 Take the battery. for example It is as hard to make the average man remember to put in distilled water every two weeks as it would be to make him remember to water plants. But when a woman once understands that a bat tery needs water just as much as plants do, she's pretty sure to remember to put it in"
 Another thing that counts is this a woman driver as a usual thing isn't satisfied unless her car works perfectly and if her battery isn't up to the scratch she wants to know why. As general rule she does what every car owner ought to do. and drives around to have us locate the trouble and put the bat tery in Al shape"
