cast today by the department of ag
riculture, basing its estimate on the

was forecast from the condition June
25, which was 7O.7. Production last
year was 11,S2s,755 bales and the
condition July %, a year ago was
GIL. The ten year average condition
of July 25 is 75.6 per cent.

ida, Ga; Alabama, 67; Mississippi. IL,

Oklahoma City. Aug. S.-The condi'
ton of cotton in Oklahoma placed
at SO per cent of normal by the United
States bureau of crop estimates in co.
operation with the state board of agri-
culture, is n marked improvement
over the report OF June 25, according
to a report given out today by II.
II. Schultz, federal agricultural sta
tistican. The report declares that
in 10 year since statehood has the
crop shown such pronounced ad.
vance.
This year is very similar to 1919,
which alsc was untavorable TO the
crop in its early stages and later pro-
duced successive Improvements until
the advent of dry weather in August,
continues the report.
"All districts show better condi-
ton figure, many reports being con
slderably above normal. The i'm
portant southwest district has the
lowest condition figure, yet is about
three per cent better than Of June
rs. The west, center and east dis
tricts have an identical condition, in
dicating that this year there is belt
extending through the central por-
ton of the state from east to west
that has been exceptionally favored
The northeast district, though rela-
lively unimportant, has higher per
cent than all other districts.
"The crop has generally made good
growth. but there are complaints that
bottom fields are making too much
weed at the expense of fruiting. The
southwest has had too much rain and
stands were further damaged by wind
and hail storms. There has been but
slight shedding of squares so far and
reports are few Of inquiry by weevil.

What II Is And How IL Increase Weight,

Judging from the countless prepar alto ms
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose OF making
thin people heshy, developing arms and
neck, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines Of health
and beauty, there are evidently Thousands
Of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due In
starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency well a.
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as buro-phosphate, which is ineI
pensive and Is sold by Peoples Drug Stores
and most all druggists under a guarantee
of satisfaction or money back.
BY feeding the nerves directly and BY
supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should soon produce q welcome

which nearly always accompany excessive

T0D|SCRED|T HIM
Admiral Denies Pro-British
Charge Before Committee and
Alleges Propaganda.

Admiral Sims declared there was
a Campaign OF deliberate propa-
ganda" to discredit him when he re-
appeared today before the Senate
committee investigating the con-
troversy between him and Secretary
Daniels.
Sims denied ne was "pro-British."
as had been charged. He said his
father was an American OF revo-
lutionary stock. and he CHANGED to
be born in Canada because his mother
happened at the time to be on a visit
to her father, who was n Canadian.
Denies Accusations.
When he was told during the war
he was being accused OF being pro
British" he said he replied: "Why
don't they send a pro-German over
here with a trunk full of bombs?"
The American army during the first
year OF Americas entrance into the
war was threatened with being all
dressed up and no place to CO." Sims
said.
"Our army ran the risk at all times
Of being caught in a position OF being
| impotcnt to obtain victory because OF
lack of supplies. Sims added. There
was the gravcst anxiety about enough
ships being available to carry sup
plies as well az troops"
Sims described how the American
naval forces, under his command
overseas, had provided safe transport
for troops as well as supplies. He
read q voluminous typewriter state
ment embodying n detailed account of
his and the American navy's activi-
ties in the war.
Beyond All Prais~.
"The American Navy's part in the
war was one of marked efficiency
once we got into it," Sims said. Sims
said his first instructions were vague
and unsatismactory." and he had
labortd under serious handicaps over
seas because he was 5000 miles away
from the Navy Department. 81 have
raised no question whatever as to the
efficiency OF our Navy in the war
viewed as n whoe," Sims said. Apart
| from those who directed 1t. the work
our Navy did. such as II was. was be.
yond all praise"
Sims paid the highest tribute to
"the irreprcssiblc enthusiasm" and
"undaunted spirit with which our
Navy overcame seemingly insur-
mountable obstacles"
MY criticism was directed mainly
at the faults committed in the frst
months of the war; and their failure
| TO act promptly
Apparently the Navy Department
believed that I and allied officials had
lover-estimatcd the seriousness Of the
situation. They failed 10 respond, and

From my point OF view IL 10 to be
regretted that the President should
Interfere with question that does
not concern us" Lodge continued.
we desire to be- friendly to Italy and
the Jugo-Slavs. We have had the
friendliest relations with Italy for
great many years. and l am sorry
that the President should have put
US as a nation in the position OF de-
sorting her now.

"And / have no feeling against
Great Britain. l do not blame her
for looking out for herself. 1 only
wish the United States had been
looked after as well. And there has
been reservation proposed which
would have protected u.s." Mr.. Lodge
said. referring to the Johnson res
ervation.
II have only one more word TO say
about the Presidents letter.
The league was drawn up by
diplomats. The whole structure Is
governed by diplomats, and the diplo-
countries nrst.
THE President said we must not
leave the peace OF the world to dip
lomats. j say the whole matter Is in
the hands OF diplomats. Article y Is
the only one which does not leave
everything to diplomats. 1t 10 an ap-
peal to naked force"
Lodge said he desired to deny he
had ever referred to the Presidents
reference to France as "delightful
passage" as he had been quoted In
several morning newspapers.
III l had alluded to the passage
delightful is the last word I would
have used even in irony. What the
President said about France is most
unfortunate and regrettable." he said.
Owen Takes Issue.
Senator Edge OF New Jersey said
"the President. with that familiar
touch of sentimentalism for which he
is noted, could not look a soldier In
the face IL he did not carry out every
means to prevent wars in the future
Issue was taken with President Will
sons unyielding opposition to the
Lodge reservation to Article X by
Senator Owen, Democrat, of Oklaho-
ma. Owen Is candidate for the
Democratic nomination for President.
He announced he would support the
Lodge reservation program, as an
expression OF the will of the majority
OF the Senate, rather than stand In
the way of ratification.
Il prefer Article Y as it is, but !
am prepared. for the sake Of passing
the treaty and getting the advant-
ages of II. to yield to the demand OF
majority OF my colleagues in the
Senate" Owen said.
THE views OF the majority OF the
Senate are entitled to respect. The
country unhappily believes the diff
ferences among us are not reconciled
because of personal and partisan
pride.
II refuse to be a party to the
defeat OF the treaty or to its delay.

form and follow any leader who
leads to ratihcation-and / will not
