to the bale. letting alone the ques' tion of the time and trouble i, takes to harvest that kind. Don't let your cotton be ginned wet Better, if possible. store it fol awhile so as to let it dry out thor. oughly. You will only increase the number of immature and tan. gled fibers bv any of these prac- tices.
 After the cotton is ginned never store it on the ground or within six inches of the wet soil. This would cause the bale to appear badly and your merchant will dock the bale for that. He will be perfectly within his rights, too. If the cotton was as bad as it looks, sometimes, it would be all waste. Remember, it is the tangled and rotten fibers that brings the grade down.
 Upland cotton, of the varieties mostly planted in Franklin Coun- ty. is said to have staple. gen. erally. of about''i inch. Upland cotton generally grades from Middling to Middllng Fair when the picking first begins. and by time the season is over the last picking will doubtless grade from good ordinary to strict Low Mid ding. Bottom cotton grades lower but has a much longer staple. That is the real reason why the cotton from the bottoms sells for a better price than cotton from the uplands. That, too. is the reason why Mulberry pays a bet ter price than does Ozark. And that, too, is why Ozark pays bet ter than Branch. Mulberry gets more cotton from the bottoms than either of the other places, therefore they get a better price and consequently will give more. am going to close this time bv urging the farmers to be extreme. ly careful in picking and storing their cotton. I may tell a few things about marketing which have been said all over the county a number of times. next time I write.
 Now would he, 1 think, an Op- partuhe time to tell those thin $ again.

Russellville Jottings

It has been some time since I have written, but 1 have been so busy with one thing, then two, that 1 couldn't find time. l wish to drop a few hints this time con- corning the care and grading of cotton. First. I will say that more than likely your merchant doesn't know any more about the grade of your cotton than you do, He may know what the cotton buyer tells him the average will be for his particular market and possibly he knows also a little about the length of the fiber and how dirty it is. If you have any power of observation you can know these last two as well as he does. Cotton, however, is not graded on either point as much as it is on other things. True, you can get a better price for a staple of + inch than you can get for a staple of Il inch. But the Ii inch cotton might grade as low Middling, while the II in. grades good Middling. The grade docs not depend on the length of the fiber. It does hinge sometimes, though, on how dirty the sample is. The point that does most in deciding the true grade is. amount of immature fibers and the degree of decay if noticeable. If a large per cent of the fibers are not fully matured the cotton will waste badly in spinning. If the fibers are beginning to decay their strength is not sufficient for the better grades of cloth. The grades are supposed to represent, from the higher to lower, an in. creasing amount of waste in spin ming. There is no need to tell you that quotations are made on 
 the basis of Middling cotton, What some of you might not know is that all your cotton really does grade an average of better than Middling, while very few bales are paid for as over Middling and most of them are sold at less than the Middling price by the farmer.
 Marketing is not the subject, however, today, for wish to tell a few things that will help the farmers get a better price as the marketing is done now. One of these is careful picking. Don't pick immature bolls, or pick up cotton that is beginning to rot. It isn't worth the damage 1t does

Until his own witnesses began to
appear on the stand in tho Municipal
Term Court yesterday, Benjamin Lep-
ler, lessee Of the apartment house at
702 East 10th Street, had high hopes
Of defeating his embattled tenants in
the action they had inspired the city
to bring against him for not providing
sufficient heat.
1sidore Simovitz, building inspector,
testified he had visited the house nine
times between February 13 and March
and had found the heat below 6S
degrees every time. Miss Clara Rubin,
tenant, testified that she was forced
to wear u heavy sweater at home; Mrs.
Jennie Sandofsky, another tenant, said
that the lack Of heat had caused the
death Of her father. In the rear Of the
courtroom was Adolph Marrer, another
tenant. whom Lepler had subpmnaed
himself
"Mr Marrer," the attorney said. won

ment this winter, haven't you?"
"No," replied the witness calmly. "r

| Operators Outline
Objections to Wage
Increase to Miners
Earnings in the Anthracite
Field and 500 Advance
Discussed; Fear Coal
Will Go Up So. a Ton

The earnings Of labor in the anthra-
cite coal field and the demand Of the
miners for so per cent wage increase
were discussed yesterday by the sub
committee Of miners and operators
meeting here to negotiate new wage
agreements for the hard coal workers.
No action was taken and the committee
adjourned until to-day
The coal operators outlined for the
first time their objection to granting
wage increases at this time. They de-
clarcd that the pay now received by
the miners is Equitable" and that ad
vance granted the workers since 1915
have more than kept pace with the
higt cost of living. Although the con-
ference was executive it was learned
that the operators produced a volume
of income tax reports showing that the
workers have been making a Giving
wage"
Representatives of the operators in
discussing workers demands declared
that any wage increase granted would
have to be borne by the public. A 80
per cent advance in wages and seven
hour day, they asserted. would mean
an increase in the price of hard coal
of at least 50 ton.
The operators opened headquarters
here yesterday and began preparing
vast volumes of statistics chiefly on
the cost of living and mine operations,
with which they intend to counter the
miners demands for wage increase
and shorter working day.
The SUBJ committee, it is understood,
will not take any action on any of the
miners demands until an award has
been made to the bituminous coal
workers.
"1t is practical certainty that what
ever settlement is made IN the btu
minous case will be made in The anthra-
cite field" representative of the op-
orators declared.
The miners also said they would &C
cept the soft coal workers award as
basis for their settlement if their rep
resentative on the Presidents commits
sion ratifes agreement.
John L. Lewis, internationa presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers, who
is in Washington attempting to bring
about adjournment in the bituminous
case, has wired his. representatives
here that Satisfactory progress" is be-
ing made. 1t is expected that the
award to the soft Goa! men will be an
nounced the latter part Of this week

Forest Hills Tenants Seek
10 Restrain Rent Increase
Action in Supreme Court Taken
to Test the Right Of Land.
lords in Cases of Emcffon

Declaring the demanded increase in
rent "unconscionable and unjust"
George N. Cherrington, for himself and
in behalf Of other residents of Forest
Hills Gardens, L. l., began action in the
Supreme Court yesterday to restrain
the Gardens Apartments, Inc, from put
ting new rent schedule into effect.
Mr.. Cherrington already has a tempor-
airy injunction, but as the new scale is
to become effective in October, the
action will likely be disposed of before
the new leases are signed
The tenants were notified in March of
the contemplated increase, and they
banded together to resist what they
declare shall be test case in the curb
ing Of landlords. According to Mr..
Cherrington, he paid in 1917 sos a
month for an apartment which the de-
fendant has offered to rent him begin
ming next October at 1925 month.
There are sixty-three tenants in the
property of the defendant, and, accord
ing to the plaintiff, the demanded in
C1SoSC ICl ICuCdiS WCuiu increase tho
gross income of the owner IA per cent
on the assessed valuation of the
property.
According to Mr.. Chcrrngton the de-
fendant bases the demanded increase on
building costs OF new apartments,
which it is represented also have great
ly increased. The defendant is build
ing new apartment, the cost of which
is much larger than was contemplated,
and Mr. Cherrington alleged the older
building has to bear the burden of this
extra heavy cost.
Even with the increased rents paid
by the tenants, Mr.. Cherrington alleged,
the Gardens Apartments, Inc, has
failed to keep the apartments in proper
repair.
Mr.. Cherrington and the other ten
ants ask the court to enjoin the owner
from leasing their apartments to others
and to reatfirm their leases so that they
will be protected from what they term
the "harsh and unjust" increase. The
complaint cites an instance where the
rent has been increased 300 per cent in
three years
in this case a tenant paid $3.50 a year
for an apartment of four rooms in 1917,
for which a rent of $4,000 is demanded
