British and U. $. Are Again Active
 Business Rivals

London, Aug. 20. Correspondence of The Associated Press.)-Amerlcan and British foreign trade interests | have resumed their accustomed pre- war code and the competition for the commercial conquest of Germany and other recently enemy countries IS well under way.
 This is freely admitted by repres- entatives here of both American and British trade bodies. The London head of one American business mems organization said:
 "The business man reasons It out this way: 'Eventually-perhaps in a year from now-we shall have re- sumed normal trade relations with those nations which were until a few months ago. our enemies. Why not get busy now--if 1 don't some- one else will.' So sentimental consid- erations are eliminated. The dollar and the pound once more are what business is seeking"
 A sharpness of competition unap- preached in pre-war days will char acterize the conduct of foreign trade activities during the next few years, it is generally conceded. Americas s possession of raw materials. her fac ilities for quantity productions and the fact that her industrial machinery is not so clogged with strikes and

FOOTBALL CLASSICS WILL BE RENEWED
 DURING THE FALL
Interest Centers in Clashes Be tween Ancient College
 Rivals.

St. Louis, Sept. 2O.-Gossip is, rife in football circles. In the 1O-week cycle in which this rugged, gripping sport holds forth there will be action of the most strenuous description.
 Plans announced by Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Cornell football man. agers indicate that football will come back with bound to the proud po- sition it held in the sporting calendar before the war.
 The football season of 1919 will be in measure the greatest in the his- tory of the sport. It will be in some respects revival. Games which have played part in building up the grand traditions of football will be played against lapse of two years.
 That wonderful spectacle, the Ar my-Navy game, will be presented on the Polo grounds in November. The battles of Yale and Harvard, Prince ton and Harvard and Yale and Prince ton, all rich in tradition, will be waged again on the chalk lined field. Cornell and Penn will come to grips again on Franklin field.
 Sharpe Back at New Haven.
 Yale, which emerged from the vale of Harvard defeat in 1916 and won a smashing victory over the Grim son host, the first since 1909, is pre- pairing for a riptearing old time Yale team. Around the blue perhaps at this time chief interest centers.
 Dr. A. H. Sharpe, one of the great est football players ever turned out at New Haven, will return to his alma mater as head coach. He is leaving Cornell for Yale, carrying with him the best and most sincere wishes of all Cornell. Sharpe made record for himself at Cornell and is expected to do the same at Yale.
 Percy Haughton, the master strate- gist who guided the destinies of the Harvard teams for nearly a decade, has stepped down as director of the crimson football machine, and in his place has come Bob Fisher, a former all-American guard and one of the most noted graduates of the Haugh- ton school of football. He has named as his assistant one of the Coolidge boys, who played halfback several years ago and won fame among men of his time.
 Princeton men will rally to the support or Dill hOpeF, Ilfln III CHe pc- lief that he will install system productive of victory. Princeton teams year in and year out have shown ability in mid October that augured we'll for late November tri- umphs. But with discouraging reg ularity the team that was jugger- naut in October became mid October portion of the Tigers.

Cleanliness Factor
 In Cotton Grading

Fayetteville, Sept. 2O-"One of the most important factors in grading cotton is cleanliness" says E. A. Hod son, assistant professor of agronomy with the College of Agriculture, University of Arkansas, therefore the vital thing to watch in picking cotton is to keep it free from trash" Professor Hodson adds that it is i'm portant that cotton be picked dry. If it is necessary to pick it wet, then it should be thoroughly dried before being stored. Cotton should be pick ed before it begins to fall on the ground, as dirt-especially clay soil L. stains the cotton and thus lowers the grade.
 The first picking should be saved for seed, as this tends to induce an earlier strain. Another reason is that frost tends to lower the vitality of the seed.

other labor disturbances which are so seriously impairing British trade, 1t is thought, ensures the United States a fair proportion of this business.
 But it is pointed out that volum- inous foreign trade will be essential ly a thew game" and British traders feel that lack of experience will off set, in a measure, the advantages in- dicated which now favor American trade bidders.

KENTUCKY GOVERNOR.
RETURNS SHOW VICTORY FOR
ENTIRE STATE TICKET
Majority More Than $4,000.

Not even the most optimistic Re
publican had the temerity to believe
in the majority which swept Edwin
p. Morrow and the whole State tick
ct into office. Like as By blizzard
of the west, the Democrats were lit
orally showed under. the majority
for the Republicans in a normally
Democratic State running between
$4,000 and $4,000.
The majorities by districts wero,
seven for Morrow and four for Black
The Eleventh District, known as the
Mountain District, OF which Knox
County is part, gave Morrow al
most double the majority OF any
other district. this majority being
17,137 with some places yet to hear
from. The next greatest majority
was in the Fifth which gave MAJ
jority Of 1889 ON the returns as
we go to press.
The victory in Kentucky Is but u
part of the Republican gains over
tbs country. Massachusetts stood
by Coolidge who knocked the police
strike on the head. New York City
simply swamped Tammany, giving
the Republicans probable control OF
the Board of Aldermen as well as a
big State victory.

THIS ORCHARD PAID

When j. C. W. Smith a few days
ago commissioned a Lowell, Ark.
banker to invest $4,000 for him in
his limit in Treasury savings Ger
tificates and Liberty Bonds, story
of success under depressing circum-
stances unfolded.
Smith, several years ago bought
a farm for $4,000 making a small
payment down and giving his note
for the balance. 1t was not long un
til he found the farm had been sold
to him on Misrepresentation. He
could not evade the sale however,
and so he planted an orchard.
The note fell due before the Or
chard came into bearing, however,
but his showing got an extension on
the paper.
Last month the farm. with the
fine young orchard, sold for SIS,

crop. which brought another $4,000.
