Peterson of Denmark was second
for the event and the remainder OF
those who qualified were tied at
third.
Another DrizzIy Day.
Today was a repetition Of ycstcr-
day. 50 far as the weather was
concerned. with the track even
softer because of the continued
drizzle. There IVES another biting
wind. which bothered the athletes
a times, and once during the day
hail fell.
Frank J. Shea was the only
American to face the starter in the
4OO-mcter run, one Of the feature
events Of the games. The best he
could get was fourth. He was put
out in the semi finals, as were En-
ory AMI Schiller. Rudd came home
a winner without much difficulty
and registered the very good time
of 40 80 seconds.
WOodrinG in Fine Trim.
Allen Woodring was in trim and
by retrieving the ground lost by
our men in other events, he boil
stored up our morale to a really
marked degree. The MeadOwbrOOE
club of Philadelphia may well be
proud of his showing, for he upset
all the dope when he forced the
pride Of Los Angeles. Charlie Pad
dock. to accept second as his mede.
Paddock's style in winning the 100
meter event had made him the pop
uIar entrant for the 200 today.
LOrn Murchison Of the New York
Athletic Club and Edwards of Eng
land flashed across the line practi-
CalIy together. but the judges de-
cided that the EngIishman had an
edge the better of it and give him
the third. Woodridges time was ~
seconds.
Other fnishers and their order in
the 2OO-meters were Davidson, OF
New Zealand. fifth, and Osterlack
Of South Africa, sixth.
TO Finish DecathIon Today.
The only American entrants in
the decathlon. another of the ancient
classics which began today and will
be finished tomorrow, were Harry
Goelitz, Illinois y. C.; Lieut.
F. L. Vidal. United States army
Rrutus Hamilton. University of Mis-,
souri,. and L. L. Ellis, Syracuse Uni
vcrsity.
After defeating the Czecho-Slovak
duelIers eleven victories to five. the
American swOrdsmen today were de-
feated by the Swiss. who scored
seven wins against our six. The
Americans. however. still have d
good show of winning second place
in the event.
Z. J. Mcdonald and Pat, Ryan
vera outstanding winners in the
trials for the finals OF the sixty y-five-
pound weight throwing contest. Nc
Graths knee, which h twisted in
the trials for the hammer event
two days ago, continued to give him
much trouble today. and caused him
to drop out of the trials for the
weight competition. Tonight we are
leading our nearest competitor, Fin
land, by more than 100 points.
Get Third in StecpIechase.
The stecplcchase. while not all
that we might have desired, gave
us some satisfaction when Pat
Flynn, of the PauIist \. C, got third
place. This was better than expected
of him. Hodge, of England, re-
turned the winner of the event. Mike
DOveney, at fifth. and Hoelsenbeck,
sixth, gave US three more points.

INLAND CITIES COULD BE BOMBED

Chicago and other cities as far in- land could be bombed and wrecked by even two enemy aircraft launched from warships 25 miles off the Atlantic coast, and the present coast defense and aircraft service of the United States could not prevent it. That is what Brig Gen. William Mitchell, di- rector of military aeronautics, told the house military affairs committee re- gently.
 Graphic indication of Mexican bor- der conditions was given by the wit jess when he said:
 ''There is now on the Mexican bor- fer an efficient and effective force of 4U combat planes, with 300 in reserve for replacement.
 '"Ehe army has about 4,5OO planes that could be put to use, but about one-thjrd of these planes are foreign made and there are no extra parts for repairs. Some 400 planes, mostly ob- solete and fit for training purposes only are being shipped home from Fra1 done for the aerial defense of the cour

HOW TO HANDLE COTTON
TO SECURE GOOD GRAOI

@ ~2sSlsiY .S
Pick cotton 1fom neld as fast a
possible. Rain lowers the grade. Cot
ton which has had rain on it will mi:
with the next that opens, hence a.
will be of lower grade. Pick it E
fast as it opens if possible.
Secure baskets or sheets by a!
means. Keep cotton off the grounc
Dirt and trash lowers the grade. L
not leave it in the field over nth:
Store in a dry place.
Keep cotton stirred in the hoase
Do not let it heat. Heat weakens tn
fiber, seed becomes soft and of littl
market value. Mills DO not want f5e
.hat has been heated.
Cotton should be stored in I'll
seed before being ginned four or 81
weeks at least. The fiber absc-f
some of the oil from the seed, wa:c
improves the grade and increases h
weight.
Be sure your cotton is thorough
dry before carrying it to the gin. n
gin can do good work on wet cot,o'
Gin cut cotton is almost worthless.
Gin your cotton on gins Using gu
tons. This eliminates a lot of dir
trash, etc. Do not handle lint wit
hands or pack with feet, but it shcul
| fall from the gin to the press. Han
and foot packed cotton lowers tn
grade about SIS per bale.
Cotton should be well covered WIT
. good bagging properly put on. Il
too valuable to let waste on acccur
Of poor bagging.
Cotton when ginned should be IN
mediately stored in the warehouse {
some good house at home. Never pu
your cotton on the ground. Neve
let it rain on your cotton after II ]
ginned.
Have all cotton stepled and grade
i before warehousing or offering fc
sale. Staple and grade should b
entered on each warehouse rece p
This enables the bank to know tn
amount to loan on your cotton.

Hc,DINo COTTON.

We have always been of the opln
ion that as a rule it was not wise
thing for the farmer to hold cotton
But conditions have changed ant
there are many reasons just now VIII!
we think it wise for the farmer tt
hold his cotton, because as the malr
reason the prevailing price will no
nav the cost of production.
AS we see it the great mistake
made was to hold cotton when it was
selling at 40 cents and above. Is
peciaily if you had it pledged TO-
money borrowed. The security ma!
have been good, but it took none.
that could now be used to marSe'
the present crop or to hold it. Bu
that is in the past and it does n'
good to talk about it except as We
NAV learn lessons for present and fu
ture use.
And it appears to US that the price
Of cotton at present is out of proper
tion to the price at which the hnlshet
product is selling, and at which al
most everything else is selling. l
seems to us that it will be good judg
ment for every business to cooperate
with the farmer in the, effort to ge'
a fair price for his cotton, even tn
cotton mills because they made moro
money when cotton was selling
around 40 cents than they ever die
before, and we could never under
stand why the manufacturer woul'
be a bear on the market, especlali!
the Southern cotton manufacturer.
@ It has been demonstrated in th'
recent past that when the farme.
was getting fair return for his la
Dor that all other business was pros
pering and why should all not co
operate with the producer to hell
him as we. may to get a fair return
for what he has to sell.

FIGHT FOR BETTER
COTTON PRICE
Six Things You Can Do-Go Afse
Them.

The great meeting Of the America:
Cotton association in Montgomery
Ala, last week, discussed lot o.:
things, but we believe the gist of th'
whole conference may be given in 81:
definite things every cotton farme:
in the South can do to help the fgh'
for better prices:
/. First and foremost, hold you
cotton. We must show the bear gam
blers and their allies that they have
absolutely mistaken the spirit an(
determination of the Southern peo
pie if they think We will sit idly b.,
and be robbed of half the fruits O.
this years labor. 1t has cost be
tween 80 and 40 cents pound tt
make this years crop. The decision
of the Montgomery meeting was tina
40 cents should be a minimum price
for middling.
Not only must each man resolv'
to hold his own crop, but he mus
see his neighbors and insist on thei
holding. As J. A. Brown says, "We
must shut up the market so tigh'
that no man can buy or beg bal'
of cotton at present prices-so thai
the only~way to get a bale OF new
crop cotton until prices improve viii!
be to steal it!''
Mr.. ]. A. Todd, the distinguished
English authority, who came to Mont
gomery at President Wannamaker':
request, sized up the present worlo
situation somewhat as follows: II?
The world will need every bale o?
cotton that is produced this year
There is no real overproduction. (2)
Right now, however, there is practl-
cal!y no movement Of cotton goods

ness in the business Of cotton manu-
