THE COTTON SHORTAGE

. Simon Westheimer, merchant Of
Marietta, who has lived in Love
county for many years makes the
statement that Love county has che
shortest crop this year it has ever
had in cotton. From reports it
looks like the. county will not have
more than about 1900 biles.
Coupled with the shortage Of the
yield is the grade of the cotton which
has made against the price. The
cotton man in discussing what Love
county has done, states that its cot
ton brings about three cents less on
the pound than the cotton raised in
Carter county. This is due to the
fact that Love county planted what is
called Half and Half cotton seed.
The yield is said to be heavier than
ordinary cotton and for that reason
it has appealed TO the farmers but
the staple is short and it does not
Drlng good price.
Just as Love county suffered so
did Carter county suffer on the south
side of the county. This county
made fair crop because the plant
in the northwest portion of Carter
county did well. Lee L. Gait, who
has a farm at Graham says he raised
the biggest crop he has ever raised
on his land.
Carter county has a good staple
and it sells for better price. This
county has gathered about 1900 bales
and 1t is probable that 5000 bales
remain ungathered. The farmers are
busy with the remaining crop and
it will all be gathered.
Cotton men also state that much
cotton Is wasting at the gins and at
homes throughout the county for lack
OF proper care. In this connection it
might Be interesting to give some
figures which were compiled by the
Bureau OF Markets on the deteriora-
ton of cotton in different kinds of
storage. Following is the statement:
"A series Of experiments conducted
recently by the Bureau Of Markets
have shown that a bale Of cotton
placed out in the open, flat on the
ground with no covering, was dam
aged 10 the extent Of $40 pounds
al the end OF eight months. Another
bale, placed on edge, with no further
attention. lost l61 pounds. y bale
on edge and turned over once a
week. lost 10 pounds. \ bale placed
on timbers off the ground and turned
once week lost 40 pounds, and a
bale placed on timbers and covered
with tarpauln lost but "A pounds. A
warehouscd bale Of cotton during the
same period lost only one pound.
Damage In one season alone from
exposure TO weather has been estimat
ed at s70OOO,OOO.
DO you know that in many in
stances the total cost Of warehousing
cotton. including insurance, is nc
greater than the fire insurance rate
alone on exposed cotton? DO you know
that II will be much easier for you
TO obtain loans from the bank OF
your cotton II you have it stored II

being made 10 make 1t a permanent

If our boys or girls have good
health, ambition and determination
to be worth something and do some
thing worth while. no one can esti-
mate their value. But what are we
doing to get the best out of this in
vestment. Are we starting them
right, are we giving them adequate
means to secure an education, and
are We preparing them for useful
citizenship?
This county is investing in these

a year. This investment for l2 years
would be s3,9O0,O00 TO make these

Hibner-ALeHdnder Co., of San

Out across from the Wilson school
On Main street, there has recently
been erected new warehouse that is
the temporary home of one of Ell
CentrO'S latest enterprises.
The Hibner- Alexander company. San
Diego county. dealers for the Cadillac
automobile, have built the first build
ing to provide for the latest product
of the General Motors Corporation.
For a number of years this corpora
tin has been manufac turing several OF
the best known automobiles on the
market including the Cadillac Buick.
Pierce and Chevrolet, also manufac-
turing about 40 accessoriess such as
Delco Ignition, Remy Ignition, and
Hyatt roller bearings.
For the past two years this corpora
ton has been experimenting on and
now have ready for the market a new
line under the head of Samson Prod
ucts. This line comprises i0-horse
tractor called their Model Nj, a light
duty tractor called the Iron Horse, a
three-quarter ton truck. ton and a
quarter truck and a nine passenger
automobile for the farmers use. A
new feature has been developed in the
truck line by the use of sand rim at
tachments which will give perfect
traction in soft soil, sand and mud.
This new attachment is the patent of
the General Motors Corporation and
is used only on their line Of trucks.
A new feature has also been de-
veloped in the Iron Horse that should
particularly appeal to the average
farmer inasmuch as the tractor can
be handled from the seat of the i'm
plement by means of lines and is
driven and guided the same as horse
is driven. This feature is especially
desirable in the handling OF cultivators
and mowers or in fact any horse drawn
implement that requires the use of
two or three horses around ranch
or farm.
The Hibner-Alexander Company will
be represented-in the Imperial Valley
by Andrew Woods, formerly assoc; aztec

company as manager of the 4! Centre
office and Jerry Gerecke as his as
sistant. Charles Plunket. II, who has
just returned from the Samson Trac-

A Blue Sky Law

A statement issued by the First
and Hamilton National Bank, relative
to the need of Blue Sky law in
Indiana contains the following re-
markaHe presentment:
During the months Immediately
following the war the American peo-
pie lost hundreds of thousands OF
dollars through bad Investments
through schemes that were highly
speculative Some men who prided
themselves on their sound business
judgment lost heavily on issues that
were wildcat" in the most radical
sense of that tragic term. This
speculative wave. though abated to
some extent, still continues.
Under the Blue Sky" law in Illi-
nois since January 1, 1920, $7O,O0O,-
600 worth of securities were not al
lowed to be disposed of in that state
Fifty-six million dollars worth OF
these questionable issues were
bought by Indiana investors.
There is no doubt in the world
that the truth is told in the forego-
ing statement and there is ne doubt
either that the people Of Indiana will
continue to be swindled just go Long
as present conditions continue in this
state. We must have a law that
will protect our people from the con-
scienceless banditry of these miser-
able ScOundrelS
