can Cotton Association next spring.
The delegates also decided to appoint
a special committee to consider the
plan suggested for forming large
cotton export corporation.
Addressing the convention, DR..
John A. Todd, English economist, de-
clared the law of supply and demand
must ultimately govern the price of
cotton, but at present this law is
imperative because of abnormal con-
ditons in Europe, he said.
EurOpena countries are unable to
buy what they need at the prevailing
rates of exchange, the speaker de-
clared, and the situation is further
depressed by the shortage Of coal,
industrial troubles and general IN
stability of governments.
He strongly advised developing
the better grades of cotton, which
India does not produce, harvesting
and marketing it better in the future,
as some of the remedies to bring
about better prices.
During the sessions a resolution
that the Alabama legislature be re-
quested to enact law imposing a
tax of 10 cents per bale on the cot
ton crop of the state fol the bene-
fit of the farmers, was adopted by
the Alabama division, ana the sum of
$4,000 was pledged toward fund
of $4,000 for the use of the ma
tional organization in prosecuting its
work.
Spirited attacks were launched at
the federal reserve bank and the de-
partment of justice by w. c. Coker,
an Alabama merchant, who declared
they were discriminating against the
cotton-raiser in the interest of or
ganized labor. Labor demands
shorter hours, more pay and cheap
er food" he said, "and the depart
ments at Washington seem determin-
ed to see that labor gets it, regard
less of what happens to the farmer"
Mr.. Coker declared the federal re-
serve board had gone entirely out
side it's province in attempting to
debate the price of cotton, while
the price of other commodities stay
up.

Big ATTENDANCE
MARKS OPENING
OF CITY SCHOOL

The schools of the city opened this
morning with the largest attendance
in the city's history. There were no
formal opening exercises, Superin-
tendent Jones postponing this feature
until later.
AS soon as the pupils had assem-
bled and been properly classified, all
were allowed to return to their
homes except those who had either
never attended the school before or
were conditional at the last term
These are standing examinations to-
day.
Superintendent Jones Is highly
pleased with his teaching staff, which
he declares to be one Of the strong
est the schools have ever had. The
outlook is very bright for a splendid
school year, and with Prof. Jones
holding the reins, assisted by such
fine teachers, Lakeland has every
reason for continued pride in her ex

HCHLANDERS LOST
TO BARLOW BY
4 TO 3 SCORE

The Highlanders lost this morn
ing's game to Barlow by the score OF
4 to 3. Johnson was on the mound
for the locals, and to his wildness
was due the loss Of the gaze, coupled
with errors behind him.
After four counters had been put
across, Johnson was relieved by Ma
honey, who never gave up a hit, but
OF course it was too late then to re-
pair the damage, as 1t was impossible
for the Highlanders to make any fur
ther scores. The game was called in
the fifth inning on account Of rain.
This afternoon Lakeland and Bar
tow are scheduled for game at Bar
tow, but the heavy rain has probably
put the grounds out Of commission.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY

In speaking Of persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own;
Remember those of homes of glass
Should never throw stone.
If we had nothing else to do
Than to talk of those who sin,
IT'S better we commence at home.
And from that point begin.
We have no right to Judge man
Until he is fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide.
Some may have faults-and who has
The old as we'll as young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we know,
Have fifty to their one.
Then let us all, when we begin
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think of the harm one word may dc
To those we little know.
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens, roost at home.
Don't speak of others faults
Until you have none of your own. ;

We are a nation of meat eaters and our bloo1 is filled with uric acid, says well known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble.
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from overwork they get sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained in the blood to poison the entire system.
 When your kidneys ache and feel like Jumps of lead, and you have {stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy. full of sediment, or the bladder is irritable, obliging you 10 seek relief during the night; VI you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad wea ther, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore breakfast each morning and in few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice. combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the aof1 in urine so 1t is no longer a source of irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders

t5,921 RECRUITS ENLIST IN ARMY
 DURING AUGUST
High Class of Men Attracted By Opportunities Offered
 In Military Establishment.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-Amon2 | the 15,821 recruits accepted for the
 army last month, which broke all
 peace time records, were many young men of wealthy parentage. Accord | ing to Mai Gen. P. c. Harris, Adju- | tant General ill charge of recruiting, | the day is practically over when
 man signs up for the army because
 he has had a quarrel with his best
 girl.
 "Td rather have my boy enlist for three years in the United States army than to attend any college in the country" declared Albert Bent ley, Chicago millionaire, when he walked into the army recruiting sta l ton near his summer home at Ep- | worth, Mich, with his son. Albert D. Bentley, IS years old. The boy l is now recruit in the 51st Infantry, enlisted for three years so that he can take a complete course in voca- tional and general education.
 1 Wendell Childrew has enlisted in
 the 59th Coast Artillery at Camp l Lewis, Wash, because, as he put it.
 q want to learn a trade and settle
 down. The gypsies never gave me
 a chance when I was a boy
 Private Charles Babrick of Coop
 ersville, Mich, enlisted in order to
 combine two of his ambitions-one
 to learn the automotive game, and
 the other to become a star wrestler.
 He is finding opportunity for both at Camp Lewis.
 l Walter T. Jones. university grad
 nate. saw service in the world war
 and was honorably discharged from the Intelligence Section. Now he
 wants to learn the queer trade Of
 a weather sharp. Accordingly he
 las rejoned the army by enlistinl s in the Meteorological Section of the Signal Corps. Young Jones is now , at Camp Vail, N. J., taking the ] course in meteorology.
 Armen w. Hopkins, 19 years old Q enlisted for three years in the Caval - ", so that he might join the mounted , detachment of the American forces e in Germany, and is now on his way s to Europe. The young recruit was 2 graduated last June with high honors
 from the Hughes High School o l Cincinnati, and won a scholarship al Q Yale University Says his father 2 Edward NJ. Hopkins: q am convinc ed that the boy should have an op pertunity to depart from the gentlel
 influences of women teachers to ar environment among positive, active healthy mems men. This chance i' [ due every boy and it is best obtained in the United States Army. Hi: mother and l concur in the decision
 The queerest reason of all for en istment was given by Wilbert J Root, of Ludington, Mich, who un blushingly confided to the Army re cruitng officers that the hula-huli and the ukelele were the prime in ducements for enlistment. "I wan to see both on the sandy beach al Waikiki in Hawaii" declared young Root. But as he explained, his in
 terest is purely professional. He i' dancing instructor, and wants tC

Electricity furnished by the Pine Bluff plant of the Arkansas Light and Power company, Illuminated the town of Dewitt in the center of the rice district of Arkansas county We'd nesday night.

Women Cannot
 Vote If Poll
 Tax Not Paid

Little Rock, Sept. 24.-A woman must have poll tax receipt if she expects to cast vote in the general election in November.
 This is the positive and final rul- ing of Attorney John B. Arbuckle on the subject. Suffrage leaders had contended that since the Suffrage Amendment had become effective since the time for closing assess ments for poll taxes, women occu- pied the same position with regard to the franchise as that occupied by young nem who attained their major ity after the time for the payment of their poll taxes. Such men are permitted to vote without a poll tax receipt, but this is specific pro- vision of the law. There is no such provision for women and therefore those who have failed to pay theil poll taxes can not vote.

Wheat Price in
 Exciting Smash

Chicago, Sept. 24.-Wheat became the main target today in an attack on high prices an exciting smash in the market resulted and final quo-l tations were 10 3-4 to 12 IA bushel lower than "A hours before.
 General selling of wheat was pros voked by the striking contrast be- tween the recent upward tendency and the downward course of other grain and of merchandise values. The strength of wheat has been as- cribed chiefly to urgent buying for export to Europe, but today for the first time of late important selling on foreign account was noted here. Big receipts of wheat in Canada were said to explain to some extnent the apparent change in attitude of transatlantic interests.
 Another influence that ended to pull down the wheat market was E shrinkage in demand for flour. It was evident also today that rural holders of both spring and winter wheat were showing greater will ingness to sell for cash in hand.
 The selling furry reached cli- max in the final half hour of trad- ing. During that period, the rapid- ity of downpours was at bewield- ering rate, and the close was demor- alized at the lowest price reached December delivery selling at 225 to 225 1-2 and Mach at 215 to 216.
