ciation in annual session at Montgom-
cry. Ala, last spring, advised organi-
zation," Mr.. Colbert said. He told
the delegates that he was not only
a farmer who had an Immense acre
age of cotton every year, but was
also the owner Of bank. AMI cotton
mill stock, and further stated that
his cotton mill stock was the best
paying investment he had. Mr.. wan
namaker stated that he had bee1
Informed by millers that cotton Would
be bringing close TO one dollar pet
pound If the farmer got what the
mills could afford TO pay at the prof
its they We're making, and statec
that the only reason tha. the farmer
was not getting the price was be-
cause Of lack OF organization.
THE poor man who Is compelled
to market this years crop will not
be benefited by the reaction nex'
spring" says Mr. Colbert and for
that reason advise that whenever
possible every bale be held.
The state branch Of the American
Cotton Growers Association was tht
means OF saving the farmers Of Okla

Mr.. Colbert, this was done when the
corporation commission denied th'
sinners TO boost the price og ginning

pounds. The ginners then came bact
with proposition TO the commission
asking that they be granted an In

ties. The commission Informed th'
ginners that nasmuch as that phase
Of the proposition had not entereC
into the original request that th'
farmers Of the state should be repre-
sented at the hearing. and when th'
hearing was held this request wa'
also denied"

as the result OF the reductions to pre-
war grades that are to be made by

tired to civil life since the end of the
war. The baclSire Of the several
hundred reductions announced by the
War Department already has been
felt.
Brig-Gen. r, c, Marshall, ir, who
during the war served as chief ofSthe
construction department and super
vised the construction of the canton
ments and factories erected by the
War Department, has handed in his
resignation. Under the order of the
Department of July Gen. Marshall
would have become a Captain in the
Coast Artillery Corps. He has ac'
Icepted a position in civil life that will
pay him more than anything that the
army could offer at any rank,
Thlrty-eight otner general olilceIs

were Major-Generals. and with four

GROUP INSURANCE PLAN
Bennington Scale Company Seeks to
Benefit EMPLOYEES.


The Bennington Scale Company is
another of Benningtons concerns to
add the Group Insurance plan for the
benefit of their employees.
The plan is to pay the employee
two thirds of their wages for a period
|of 26 weeks should they become dis
abled by accident or illness.
The accident feature covers any ac-
cident occurring to an employee out
side Of his employment, accidents
occurring during employment being
provided for by workmen's compensa-
tion insurance. The sickness benefit
is for sickness of any kind that pre-
vents the employee from working.
The indemnity is payable after the
first four days of absence from work
and will be continued up 10 and in
Guiding 26 weeks
The policy provides this protection
to its employees only. When an EN-,
ployee leaves the company the pro
lection ceases.
This form of insurance is being car
ried by many concerns all over the
country. The employer, by this
means, looks after the welfare Of his
Iemployes and their families when. be
cause Of disability, they are unable
to work.
This insurance is written under a
group policy by the Aetna Life Insur
ance Company, Accident and Liability
Department of Hartford Conn, and

NEGROES SAID
To BE RADICALS
SHOT WHITE MEN
Race Riots Again in Dark Dis
trict of Chicago
BURNED AMERICAN FLAG
Trouble Followed Parade of Negroes
Who Want coIored Race Return
ed to Africa.

Chicago, June 21.--The police are
today searching for E. d. Jonas, an
alleged radical agitator and three ne.
groes in connection with rioting in
the Chicago Black Belt last night.
Two white men were killed and two
negroes seriously injured.
The fighting followed the dispersal
of parade of negro members OF the
order of Ethiopia. The organization
is said to advoctte the return of ne.
groes to Africa.
Immediately after it one of the
leaders Of the parade set fire to an
American flag, The police emphai
sized the fact that the rioting is not
the result of the racial feeling but
more probably the result of a radical
plot.
The dead are:-R. l.. Rose, white, a
sailor Joseph Hoyt, white, a cigar
dealer.
Rose was shot through the heart
dying instantly.
Hoyt's head was split across the
brow, leading the police at first to
believe he had been killed by a blow
from an axe. Later investigation
however, brought the conclusion that
his skull had been split by a dun
dunn bullet Owens was taken to a
hospital.
The trouble occurred at Thirty

which more than thirty whites and
blacks were killed and hundreds in
