WANT PARIS AS
OLYMPICCITY
IN THE FUTURE
(By The Associa ted Press J

Paris. Sept. 27.-Will Paris become
the Olympic city Of the future? Will
the Olympic games be held in Paris
every four years instead Of taking
place in various cities OF Europe and
America? Such is the question that is
being discussed by the Partisan press
and the suggestion that Is being ad.
vanced by the Union of Sporting Fed
erations in France.
The question Of the attribution Of
the 1924 Olympic games should have
been settled in Antwerp but owing to
the large number of cities claiming the
honor, it was decided to delay the solu-
tion of the problem until the Lausanne
congress in June. 1921.
A press campaign by all the Paris
sporting papers, and in which staid po-
litical papers like the Echo de Paris
and the Avenir have Joined, is being
waged to prove that the moving about
of the Olympic games from city to
city and from country to country every
four years is all wrong. One city
should be chosen to replace Athens.
they say what city is better quail
fer than Paris?" asks the Avenir.
If the present system of allotting
the Olympic games to cities and not to
countries is maintained. every capital
OF every state in the union Of the
United States has right to have Its
Olympic games as we'll as Antwerp,
the newspapers argue.
"Makc Of Paris the Olympic City
where every four years In gigantic
stadium, magnificent and permanent.
athletes from all parts OF the world
would compete. 1t would then be pos
Sible to give the games the character,
the beauty and the splendor which they
deserve Such is the plea that will
be sent by the Union Of Sporting Fed
erations Of France, to Baron de Cou-
bertin when the Olympic congress
meets at Lausanne.

FATAL ACCIDENTS
Of LARGE C0mPAN-
ESSHOW DECREASE
(By The Associated Press.)

AASoS>As&sSo
Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 27-The fatal
accident rate and the non-fatal injury
rate in IS companies employing 6OO, ,O0O
workers was the lowest on record dur
ing the past five years. Frederick L..
Hoffman, third vice president and sta.
tisticiant OF the Prudential Insurance
company told the ninth annual safety
congress here today.
The fatal accident rate, per 1000
men employed, was 1.OS in 1910, he
said, as compared to an average rate
Of 1.27 during the years 1915.1910 in
elusive, and 131 for 1913. The maxi
mum death rate was reached in 1916
with 1.36 deaths from accident per
thousand employees.
The non-fatal injury rate for 1919
was also the lowest on the record, with
1865 per thousand employed. The
ma1tmum was in 1916. with 1914,
while the average for the five year
period, including 1919, was 1906.
Mr. Hoffman urged manufacturers to
keep more detailed figures on accidents
and injuries and pointed out that the
system of taking the hazards Of en-
ployment into consideration when fix
ing wage awards had been recognized
in the Transportation Act and was con-
sidered In arriving at the recent rail
road labor and anthracite coal miners
wage awards.

Increase Shipments

Prince Albert. Sask., Sept. 27.-The
Canadian Cooperative Wool Growers
Association reports it has shipped this
season 662,465 pounds of wool from
Saskatchewan and 353, ,562 pounds from
Manitoba. Fifty thousand pounds re-
main to be shipped. which will make Il
total from both provinces of 1.O66,O0O
pounds, about lSS,OOO pounds more
than last year. The increase is chiefly
from small flOckS of farmers in the
mixed farming area along the Cana
dian National Railways. Development
of small :locks by farmers is said to
have more than made up for the loss
of the big herds of old range days
which We're broken up as the country
became more thickly settled.

SEED FOR PLANTING

l have just purchased from the Ferguson Seed FarmaM M of Sherman, Texas, 1000 busba1s of pedigreed cotton seed fos s planting. These are all specially pedigreed seed, di. rect from producer to con. sumer. They are Ferguson's Improved Mebanes Triumnh Strain No. 476 and also Fer guson's Improved Lone Star
 The U. s. Department of Agriculture maintains fine ex. perimental stations in Arkan. sas, for the prupose of testing varieties of seeds and accord, ing to governmental tests. MT. Ferguson's seed has re, peatedly outyielded those of some of our very best seed breeders.
 I have been planting pedi- greed cotton seed for four years, and I can say, without the fear of successful contra diction, that pedigreed seed of any variety will produce from fifteen to twenty-five per cent more cotton than pretty good" seed of the same variety or other va rieties as we'll.
 The Mebanes Triumph and Lone Star are two of the very best yielders for this section according to government tests, and no man can afford to take chances on inferior seed when he is sure of good price for his cotton.
 When the seed arrive they can be seen in the Shearer building, next to w. N. Dune hew's Grocery. See me for prices, and Statistics on Government Tests.

PRICES DOWN IN FRANCE
Number OF Commodities Lower Than
Year Auo.

Year Ago.
Paris, December 3.-ICorrespond-
ence of The Associated Pressl-
There has been a well Defined move
ment downward in the prices of a
number of commodities in France
since last March. Whether, like the
last decline in prices, 1t will prove
merely transitory and be followed by
a reaction, sending prices soaring
again, remains to be seen.
Coffee is one of the latest commod-
titles to decrease in the wholesale
price. The decline, however, cannot
be noticed at all in retail sales. Ord
mary red wine now sells for 100
francs litre, or about quart. This
is the "yin rouge ordinafre" which
American soldiers used to buy at two
francs per litre.
Sugar which sold as high as $50
francs kilo now can be obtained at
3.75. The vice President of the
French Grocers' Union explains that
the fall is due to the decrease in the
price of sugar in America and the
report that Cuban wholesalers are
preparing to export 100000 tons to
Europe. Shoes also went down fol-
lowing marked decrease in the
price Of raw hides. Raw cotton. wool
ana silks are among the articles,
price-o which has dropped. There
are, however, many commodities
which have not materially decreased
in price, such as eggs, milk, bread
and meat

years ago such thing as purebred

There are many indications that the
number OF breeders will be augment
