Mr.. Palmer's message to the acting

gun to feel the effect of the restric-

awoke today to find themselves faced
with sharp fall weather which de-

WANT HANGARS IN

MemphianS Will Go to Cuba to
Discuss Cotton Situation.
War Department May
Grant Use of Buildings.

Congressman Hubert Fisher will
head delegation of Memphians,
which will go to Cuba in the north
ern part Of the county Monday night
to attend a mass meeting to discuss
the storing of cotton.
A telegram received from the war
department Saturday by Congress
man Fisher indicated that one or
maybe four, of the big hangers at
Park field would be placed at the
disposal of the cotton growers of
Shelby county. Mr.. Fisher was very
hopeful as n result of the wording
of the telegram, which indicated that
the permission of the department
would be forthcoming.
According to c. w. Watson, mar
ket expert of the Memphis Chamber
of Commerce, the growers in the
northern part of the county are pre-
pairing to store their cotton and
finance 1t through warehouse GER
tifiCates with local banks, and
through these banks with the federal
reserve bank Mr.. Watson stated
that the warehouses would be bonded
for this purpose. He said that the
matter had been taken up with To-
cal bank officials who promised CO.
operation in the matter.
The big hangers at Park field are
ideal for cotton warehouses, accord
ing to Mr.. Watson He says that
each of them will accommodate about
1000 bales, and that nothing wilt
have to be done to them to make
them ready for the reception of cot
ton.
Others who will go to the Cuba
meeting are c. w Watson, DR. Il. h.

The government as q result Of the
