SAySB|C PLANTERS
 IN DEAD EARNEST
COTTON TO BE REDUCED
No Question About Sincerity of Pres ent Movement in South, Says
 Conway Banker.

The present movement to bring about radical reduction in cotton acreage in the south is one that for the first time really means business and will accomplish results, in the opinion of Frank Paris, vice presi- dent of the Farmers State Bank, who attended the convention at Memphis this week
 Heretofore the obstacles in the way of cotton acreage reduction has been the big planter, who has always con- tlnued to insist upon planting every acre to cotton, regardless of price. But the convention at Memphis was largely made up of big planters and there IS no doubt they have become convinced and are in dead earnest, Mir. Farris said today. They realize that the salvation of the south now depends upon the southern farmer making his own living on his land" he said. "The planters present en- tered into solemn pledge that they would plant only one-third of their cultivated land in cotton in 1921. The
  ed in anything the farmer prefers but 1t is suggested that it be divided into corn, oats, peanuts, grasses, pas ture and other feed crops"
 Bradford Knapp of the United States department of agriculture sounded warning against farmers to restrict production in the hope of securing high price next fall, Mr. Farris said. There will be a carry over of at least 9,000,000 bales next year. That amount is more than IS likely to be consumed this year and the world could get along another year without any cotton at all being raised. 1t was the opinion of the experts at Memphis that cotton is not likely to be high price no matter how small IS next years crop, but that it is like ly to sell for six cents or less if a full average crop is put on the market next year.

MORE REPLIES COME
 ON BASEBALL ISSUE

Additional replies to the question naire on the summer baseball ques- tion, mailed by the State Normal School to 150 American colleges and universities, have been received since publication of the summary of the first 90 answers. Questionnaires re- ceived since then pile up more evil dence against the ban on summer base ball, 1t was said. Harvard, Johns Hopkins and Leland Stanford are three of the great universities which have mailed affirmative answers on permission to collegiate athletics to participate in unorganized summer baseball.
 One thing developed by the question nalre is the support given participa- tion in unorganized baseball provided 1t does not fall within months dur ing which school is in session. A number of universities have modi- fled their permission to this extent, which guards against temporary with drawal of students to engage in the sport.

DENY INCREASE TO
 POWER COMPANY

Little Rock, Dec. 1.-The Arkan- sas Light & Power Company has been denied relief which was asked for its plants at Camden, Paragould, Darda- nelle Newport, Malvern. Pine Bluff and Stuttgart. 4 petition was filed in October for permission 10 put into effect a new schedule, including 3 fuel clause, providing that the rates for electricity should b. controlled bg the decrease CT increase in the price of fuel The commission on November 10 suspended the date upon which this was to have been made effective and since that time has conducted an in vest.gation. A result of this inycs- tigation the commission finds that the fuel clause is not warranted and can not therefore be enforced. The com mission ruling says in part:
 "The weight of authorities is de cidedly against this principle. There have been instances where several state commissions have approved in eases of emergency a basing of the rate to the consumer upon. the cost of coal to the utility, but as a general proposition the fixing of rate in this manner is drowned upon by state regulatory authorities. While a rate arrived at in this manner would ap- pear on it's face to be just, yet at the same time it would be the surrender ing of state authority to regulate and fix rates to the will and judgment of the utility operator, and make the rate to be paid by the consumer based upon the cost of a factor over which the state exercises no regulatory poWers."

.ELKS CORNERSTONE TO
Be LAID SUNDAY MORN

The cornerstone of the new Elks
temple will be laid with only a brief
ceremony, Sunday morning at 10
O'clock, the lodge decided at its regu-
lar meeting last night. Officers of the
lodge and the building committee will
have charge of arrangements and of
the actual ceremony.
Laying of the cornerstone will be
separate from the formal dedication OF
the temple, which probably will not
take place until late in October. The
ceremony Sunday was decided upor
in order to strengthen the corner Of
the bullying where space has been
left for the cornerstone. Contractors
requested that the stone be placed in
the corner as soon as possible TO pre-
vent possible sagging due to the
weight borne by a few bricks.
Last nights meeting was the last
one which the Elks expect to hold in
their old lodge room in the Hamley &
Co, building. The first meeting in
September. on Thursday the second
is expected to be held in the new lodge
room. The building will not be 100
per cent complete at that time but
will be near enough completed as tc
be ready for occupancy, the building
committee reported.
Furniture for the new home is near
ly all on hand and can be installed as
rapidly az rooms are made ready for
it. An evidence of the coming change
of location is seen in the present club
rooms, where two pocket billiard
tables are being taken down to be
/ shipped to Heppner. New equipment
Throughout has been purchased for the
new club rooms.

Soviet Russia has made a treaty of al
lance with Austria, according to gov

This alliance has the greatest sig

bolshevik offensive and Moscow's
campaign for a world revolution. Ac-
cording to advices both Russia and
Austria signed the treaty last month.
Ostensibly the treaty is supposed to
be for the repatriation of prisoners
of war in each country. but other pro-
visions are of great significance, con-
