Bankers Fear For
Trade With Germany

Bankers in Memphis are in a rath-
er noncommittal mood over the
proposition advanced by German
agents, as quoted by Governor W. P.
G. Harding, of the federal reserve
board, for Germany to take 2,00O,-
900 bales of low-grade cotton from
America, and pay for it with notes
due in nine months. This attitude
is probably attributable to a lack of
definite, or at least concerted, ideas
on the subject.
Some bankers were of the opinion
that if Germany could bring forth
guarantees of payment that would
prove acceptable to American flnan-
cial interests, some trading on the
above basis might be practical. They
stated, however, that, in view of Ger
many's present unstable form of gov
eminent, they believed Germany
would have hard task providing
suitable guarantees.
Another feature called attention to
by some bankers was a point en-
phasiZed by Senator K. D. Mcclellan
in a recent address in Memphis, in
which he said that so long as Ger
many and the United States were
still technically at war, any con-
tracts entered into between citizens
Of the two countries might fail to
hold good.
One banker said that if the growers
and owners of cotton could sell
enough of the new crop to clear the
old, it might be good thing for
them to sell to Germany some of the
old crop, which is generally of low
grade

Students Need Not
Go Abroad For
Vocal Culture

There is absolutely no reason for
Americans to go abroad to study
music" asserted Miss Clara Board
man, prominent music teacher of In
dianapolis, at present at the Hotel
Chisca. I'VE have more and better
teachers of vocal culture than Bu-
rope and they get better results from
their pupils, for they understand the
volume and also the shortcomings
of English pronunciation, which for
eign teachers never can do.
There Is no reason for the embryo
singer to expatriate herself in a for
eign land for some of the best years
of her life, to gain the vocal ex-
preston she Graves. Once it was
necessary, but that day has passed
never to return. Conditions in Eu-
rope are such that. even If it were
necessary, it would not be wise to go.
II see that Madame Valeri, one or
our most noted teachers, Is going to
spend the winter in Vienna and Ber-
lin. That is both foolish and unnec-
essary. She had all the pupils she
could care for~here. Her reputation
was growing constantly. She will
probably carry a few pupils with her
who have been greatly aided by her
methods, but l venture to predict
that a few months of the ersatz food

TRESTATE FAIR
HAD GOOD YEAR

Revenues from the Tri State fair
! in 1920 showed an increase as COM
pared to those of 1919. despite a
falling off of some 10000 in the at
tendance. according to the annual re-
port of Secretary Frank n. Fuller,
submitted to a meeting of the board
of directors of the fair association at
the Chamber of Commerce Thursday
afternoon.
Total attendance, according to the
report, was 107,9S1, as compared to
117,055 in 1919. Revenues this year
totaled $S5,S53.05, against $73,202.45
last year. The increase in revenue
was due to the fact that the price
of admission was increased from SOC
to 75c.
Officials of the association said
that the fair had earned some profit
this year, but that all this profit
would be applied to improving the
grounds and buildings, these i'm
provements to be completed before
the date for opening the fair next
year.
The request by W.. NJ. Landess,
county agricultural agent, that the
directors allow the use Of the big au-
. tomobile building for the storage of
cotton if it should be needed, was
granted. The building will provide
storage space for several thousand
bales.

In the Oil Fields
Interesting Necs From

According 10 data compiled BY the
government engineers working In the

dip In the structure OF the Hewitt
sand in the Hewitt field.
The sand found at n depth OF 2,o71
feet In the discovery wcll by the
Texas Company on ths Denny farm.
In 27-iH-2w, is the same as that
found In tho middle OF 20, at n depth
OF about 400 feet, on the Neustadt
and billiard farm.
The south flank OF the structure
dips at the rate OF 1000 TO 1900 feet
per mile. The west flank dips about
1850 feet per mile.
The peg model Of tho Hewitt field.
displayed at the Ardmore office OF
the United States Bureau Of Mines,
shows that there Ia n dome In the
northwest OF 22; a slight saddle in
the west of OF the southwest OF 49,:
and that now and higher dome
may be expected in ..
Recent development has proved
that the oil sand found at a depth
OF 1895 feet In tho Humble-Voor-
hees No. /. In 9-4s-2w, In the sarpe
sand as that found In the discovery
we'll In the northwest OF 81.
The Bureau of Mines Is looking
for considerable extension in the
northern part of the Hewitt field.
and believes that the west flank will
be the source OF heavy production.
Thus far no large gas accumula-
tlon has been found In the Hewitt
territory, Gas is usually found In
the higher domes. The dome In the
north Hewitt field is expected 10 be
higher than IN 22, and for this rea-
SON large flows of gas may be ex-
pected.
