COTTON-HOIDiNG MOVEMENT

What is he common ~6}=e ii the
cotton-holding movement: Il en- be
very easily explained The Ny York
Economic World. in lis latest issue now
before Us, gives the reasons for the
present low price of cotton IN very sim
pie language The Economic World
isn't trying to please cotton growers
or to help cotton prices. 1t is simply |
reporting the undsputed facts for the
information Of its readers in New York |
and elsewhere Here is the way il sizes |
up the situation:
The difficulty is. of course. that the
SpinnerS III every cotton consuming |
country in the world find themselves |
almost completely at sea with regard
to the future of the goods market. or
else fatally handicapped either by the !

very threating kind. Hence they do not
dare 10 commit themselves upon the
customary scale ii respect to their raw
material for the coming months even
though the price at which il is now
obtainable is entirely satisfactory.
They must perforce pursue purely
hand mouth policy, taking for the |
present only such cotton as they have
immediate use for and leaving it to
the cotton producers to carry the main
part of the supply until the future
determines how much of it can be con- |
sumed and at what price.
In other words. the Economic World |
says that the reason mills are not buy |
ing cotton is not that they can't spin
it at a profit at present prices, but |
simply because their inability to get
bank credit, etc, makes ii impossible |
to buy except on ''hand-to mouth |
basis. They are taking just enough cot |
ton to get along no from day to day.
Consequently if farmers try to force
them to buy enough for three six. or
nine months ahead, the mills simply |
say. Well. if | buy IA whole lot more
than want now you will practically
have to give it to me-
To try to feed the cotton market

What is the remedy The remedy is |
to get the facts before the farmers. We

Last week Mrs. Ole Jensen, living
north of Kimballton, presented Mr..
and Mrs. George Woodbury. of the
Record with nice Plymouth Rock
hen and eight baby chicks, for which
they extend many thanks. George
says that reminds him of the good
old days when money was scarce and
the editor OF the small town paper
took his subscriptions in produce
from the farm, and when a farmer
raised large pumpkin or squash it
was brought in and presented to him,
being duly placed on display in the
office window. Naturally there was
often a great deal of rivalry as to
who could bring in the biggest one.
Those were really the good old days
when a fat hen could be bought for
% cents, bushel of potatoes for
20 cents and other things in proper
tiUn. Printers worked for 50 per
day and some for even lass.

Good Price for Horses

Do not think for a minute that
the autOmobih truck and the tractor
has entirely crowded our faithful old
friend, the horse, entirely off the
earth. The following, cleaned from
the Ogden Reporter, is conclusive ev-
idence that the right kind of horse
flesh is sky Highland still soaring.
ITO dispose of the theory that
good horses are a drag on the mar
ket, We have only to recite the fact
that August Carlson. the intrepid
and undaunted horny handed son of
the soil living Just east of the city
limits, last week disposed of a six
year old animal to Murphy e. Harris
the Dallas Center horse buyers, for
the tidy sum of $3.50. And August
was not at all anxious to sell even at
this price, and contends that he
should have had at least $50 more
money. However, this particular
animal was an exceptional one, being
Of the Percheron and Belgian breed.
and weighed 1900 pounds-one OF
the best horses in the country, to
quote Mr.. Carlson. That good prices
can always be secured for premium
breeding, August recalls in the year
1893, when horses OF the better
class were demanding from $40 to
500 on the market, he was privil-

Reckless driving was the cause of
an automobile wreck south of Elk
Horn last Friday which resulted in
badly damaged car but which
might have resulted in serious if not
fatal injuries to several parties. 1t
happened Friday evening when Oscar
Marquesen was making one of his
customary calls south of town. He
was driving north and turned into
the Lewis Larson place one mile
mile south of Elk Horn. Two other
cars driven by Atlantic parties were
directly behind and were trying to
beat the time made on the Indian
apolis speedway. The racing cars
were too close TO the car driven by
Marquesen to avoid a collision when
he turned into the farm home and
the leading one hit his car amidship.
The Ford driven by Wilburn Bros,
of Atlantic was badly damaged but
the other was of more sturdy build
and withstood the collision. For
tunately the driver of the third car
saw the accident in time TO turn out
and avoid a general pileup. 1t would
be well for some of these would-be
Barney Oldfields to study the auto
mobile laws of Iowa and pilot their
jitneys accordingly.

Brothers Meet After % Years


Hello JIM" Hello Pat" Last
night, as the fast mail pulled into the
Union Pacific transfer and the veter-
an Pat Leahy, stepped from the en-
CINE cab of the..trai which he has
pulled for the past 22 years, the
faces of two men wreathed in smiles
attracted the attention of people
near as they at the same time heard
the lacOniC greeting above quoted. 1t
was an event in the lives of the two
men, brothers, who there met for the
first time in 81 years. James Leahy,
whose home is in Spokane, Washing
ton, had arrived in Council Bluffs for
a visit with his brother, Pat, and he
did not lose any time in letting Pat
know of his arrival. No two hap
pier men were to be found in the
city. Pat and Jim are members of
a family with a remarkable and most
enviable record, one marked with
tragedy as we'll as with the bright
things of life. Jim Leahy is a re-
tired ship captain with a record of
which any man might be proud. He
sailed on the Great Lakes and was
one of the first men to navigate the
whaleback steamers. There were
four brothers in the service at one
time, three of whom were drowned
while on duty, and it is a recollec-
ton of this dark period in the history
of the family which brings the two
remaining brothers now living over
the years that are gone, more closely
together. Jim Leahy and Pat Leahy
also have sons who distinguished
themselves. : A son of Jim was a
member of the Sixth battalion, goth
engineers, which organization went
down with the Tuscania. Jim's
son was saved and although badly in
jured was commended for an act of
bravery in saving 20 men, being in
command of one of the boats. Pat
has a son who was also in the serv-
ice. Jim will visit the old family
home in Ashtabula, Ohio, before re-
turning to Spokane. He was in
Cape Nome and the Arctics in 1900
and has much of interest to tell his
brother. Pat, and family.

Mikesell Dies From His Wounds

George Mikesell, 80, Carson lab
orer and former convict, who was
shot three times by Jim Harbor in a
quarrel near Treynor Wednesday,
died Thursday night at the Mercy
hospital in Council Bluffs where he
was rushed after the fight He had
suffered from three wounds.
Harbor is still in the county Jail,
awaiting the outcome of the coron-
er's inquest and action by the state.
He claims self defense.
A charge of assault with intent to
commit murder was filed against
Harbor by County Attorney Swanson
to form the legal basis for holding
him while the outcome of Mikesell's
injuries were awaited. This charge
will stand Swanson says until the
coroner's jury acts. Mikesell was
shot by Harbor, after, it is alleged,
Mikesell had trained his gun on Mrs.
Seick, wife of Harbor's employer,
during quarrel over horse. Bad
blood had existed between Mikesell
and Harbor from the time Mikesell
drove the latter from his home, and
beat him up, breaking his arm and
knocking out several teeth. The
Harbors were divorced later and
Mikesell married Mrs. Harbor FIVE
days after the petition had been
granted.

Carroll Stock Pavilion Over the Top

Carroll Stock Pavilion Over the Top
The Live Stock Breeders commit
tee for the Carroll sales pavilion
have raised the necessary SO, 900 to
start business for the erection of a
pavilion at Carroll. The city of
Carroll has already staked out the
street that they have leased to the
pavilion company and an application
for lease from the Great Western
has been made and will undoubtedly
be completed in few days. 1t was
not necessary for the committee to
put forth much effort to secure the
$4,000 TO begin business. The art
icles of incorporation are all ready
for filing and plans and specifica-
tons are available Bids for the
construction will be solicited soon
and it is strongly hoped by the com
mittee in charge that the pavilion
will be ready for business early this
fall.
1t will be necessary TO secure more
money than the $4,000 to erect
this pavilion, hence the committee is
continuing it's work of soliciting and
anyone that is interested in promOt-
ing this good cause will be most well
come with their subscriptions.
