COTTON RATES
 10 BE DECIDED
JOINT CONFERENCE OF SHIP. PIERS OF ARKANSAS, OKLAHC- MA AND TEXAS TO BE
 HELD.

A joint conference of the cotton shippers of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas, under the auspices of the Ar kansas Cotton Trade Association. the Texas Cotton Association and the Oklahoma State Cotton Fix change, has been called for in Dallas. Texas, on February 3.
 The cotton men through the Unit ed States Railroad Administration. seek an adjustment Of cotton freight rates and shipping practices to be- come effective August 1, when the present schedules and regulations expire.
 The present rules and schedules of the United States Railroad Adminis- tration applying to cotton shipments are very lengthy, complex and inyoly- ed, based on a system of rebates which virtually requires the services of traffic expert to interpret iii order to avoid losses to the shipper.
 Each of the three railroads hand ling cotton 1n Arkansas operates un- der different schedules. The cotton schedules of the Missouri Pacific alone cover 68 large pages in thet rate book. A similar condition ex. ists in the other states. The com plexity of the schedules has caused considerable loss and confusion among cotton shippers.
 The state cotton associations. with the assistance of the various cotton exchanges and individual cotton firms and cotton shippers, propose to undertake a revision of the rules and prepare uniform schedules for all the railroads operating in the three states, which they hope to have adopted by the railroad administra- 1 ton upon the expiration of the pres ent rates August 1. It is believed by traffic experts familiar with cot ton shipping that uniform rules ap- plicable to ali railroads in the three states can be worked out so simple that single page in the rate book will be ample to cover the entire situation.

FOOD CONTROL IS
 TO CEASE SOON
-iAMP WILLIAMS ANNOUNCES THAT CURTAIN WILL RING DOWN ON ADMINISTRA-
 TON FEBRUARY 15.

The Food Administration is to cease business February 15. All paid employees will be dropped from the pay roll on that date. Nothing but volunteer workers, including volun- teer heads of departments, county food administrators and their com mitees will remain. The organization will be held intact in this manner, ready to respond 10 any subsequent call that may be made by Herbert c. Hoover.
 State Food Administrator Hamp Williams, who, for the past ten days. has been confined to his home in this city suffering from a partial physical and nervous collapse, stated that work looking to the demobilization of the state organization is already under way. A few days ago MT. Will Hams received telegram from off cials in Washington, which contained portions of a cable MT Hoover had sent relative to continuing the Food Administration in the several states. Since then several telegrams have been exchanged on this subject.
 Replying to the initial Telegram from Washington, MT. Williams an- swered that he will begin at once to demobilize. The National Food Ad- ministration then suggested Febru- ary 15 as the day to close. Assur- ance that, while the demobilization will be completed by February 15, the organization of the state Food Administration will still be held in readiness to meet any further call, was given Washington by MT Will Hams.
 MT Williams said that the work of demobilizing the State Food Ad- ministration would mean that Price Suggestive Committees in the sever further duty; that the enforcement cases involving violation of rules and regulations and for profteering will be transferred to officials in Washington for settlement that much of the property of the State Food Administration, including all office equipment, is now being listed and will be advertised in the papers for sale.
 MT. Williams also issued the warn ing 10 those engaged in handling of foodstuffs that maximum margins of profits will still prevail and caution ed those concerned from exceeding those margins.

my efforts to form a consolidated school at Wye.
 The biggest obstacle to it's forma- tion was the purchase of large tracts of land in and near the proposed dis trict by Oklahoma cattle men, They have bought west of Wye, in Perry, Pulaski and Saline counties near 40,- 900 acres and are buying all the large bodies of land they can get hold of and small tracts adjoining. These cattle men must be complimented on their shrewdness in buying good lands for a song and letting the other fel- low sing it.
 They have not gotten it all, for I had listed some for the benefit of the school which can be bought cheap.
 Eighty acres of good orchard land, ten or twelve acres cleared, for $500; three miles of Wye. This land has fine timber on it which the owner re- serves and intends putting a mill to work cutting it next summer, when lumber for improvement could be bought cheap. There is house ad- joining the buyer could move into while making improvements. In May, 1917, I wrote of an orchard lying out full of ne fruit, that orchard adjoins.
 Within one mile of Wye is one of the best eighties on the plateau. It has comfortable small three-room cottage and other outbuildings, two good springs, a well, five acres cleared and nice young orchard which has been in bearing only a year or two. IL is bargain at $500.
 Then there is 200 acres with two sets of improvements, partly creek bottom land, for $10 an acres; it is worth $25.
 There are a large number of uniln- proved tracts at s15 to S20 an acre, which is the price most of this land is selling at.
 Then there is trac: or 4,000 acres of finest river bottom land to be sold for S2O an acre. It was my inten- ton to add $5 an acre to this tract for the benefit or the school and sell it for $20 an acre. It is better land than lots of other bottom land selling for $50 an acre. Land in cultivation near it, not any better naturally, is held for S2O,000 for 50 acres. Twelve thousand dollars, or .$20C an acre was refused this fall for that 60 acres sew eral times.

That Important Paper
 You Nave MisIaid

One of the most aggravating oc- currences is to stick an important paper away where you think you will have no trouble in remembering the place you put it--and then when you need it, to find your mind blank. This happens again and again. Indeed. it is common source of those unfortunate delays that hinder the prompt transaction of business.
 Keep your papers-your deeds, mortgages, bonds, stock certificates, insurance policies, and written ac- Acknowledgements of every description in a Safe Deposit Box.
 The reasonable rental charged for Mercantile Safe Deposit Box gives you a definite locauon TOT your vaI- uable papers. absolute protection from loss by fire. theft or accident, and privacy in consulting it's com tents. No one can open your box except yourself.
