Washington, Sept. President
Harding, speaking today at the
opening of the fall term of the
army war college, declared that
no matter where the best aspira-
tons of the world lead us there
never may be a time without the
necessity for armed forces"
The p. asident in his brief ad-
dress, however, pledged the two
hundred officers in his audience
that during his administration
they would never be called to per-
form military service they could
not enter into with all their heart
and soul as Americans"
Referring to the situation in the
West Virginia coal fields the presl-
dent declared:
We ought not to have a con-
flict like that which is going on in
West Virginia. 1t is due to lack of
understanding"
Mr.. Harding said there were
two relative essentials to the
civilization to which we all aspire;
one is an understanding among
men at home and the other an un-
derstanding between nations"
The president expressed the be-
lief that the time was coming
when the burden of armament"
could be diminished.

added, that there will be less need
of armies and navies."

COTTON CROP To
Be SMALLEST IN
THREE DECADES
Department of Agriculture
Announces That "Every-
thing Seems to Have Gone
Wrong With the Crop"

Washington, Sept. 1.-Cotton
growing has just suffered the most
disastrous month in it's history.
The indicated crop will be the
smallest in thirty-three years, while
its condition now is the lowest re-
corded in any month in it's history.
Ravages of the boil weevil are prin-
cipally the cause Of the severe de-
cline, amounting to a loss Of L.
10000 bales in prospective pro-
duction since last months forecast.
The department Of agriculture, in
announcing today its forecast of
a production of 1887 900 equivalent
500 pound bales, based on a canvass
made August 25, declared "every-
thing seemed to have gone wrong
with the crop"
An acre yield Of 127 pounds is
indicated for the country as
whole. Never in the last fifty-six
years has the yield been so low,
The nearest approach was 10
pounds in 1866. Only ten per cent
of crop is promised in some coun-
ties of South Carolina. Parts of
oklahoma will have not more than
Is per cent of crop. About one
third of a crop or less will be pro-
duced in sections of Texas, South
Carolina and Georgia. A half a
crop or better may be produced in
northern Alabama,
northern Georgia and northern
South Carolina. States on the
northern edge of the cotton belt
may have about two-thirds Of a
crop.
Decline in the condition of the
cotton crop during August, caused
a reduction of 100000 in the esti-
mated final production as COM
pared with the amount forecast a
month ago. Production this year
was forecast today at 7,037,0O0
bales of 500 pounds gross by the
of agriculture which
based its estimate on the condition
of the crop August 25, which was
49.3 per cent of a normal fore
casting yield Of 1910 pounds per
acre.

 Horses Were Late

Friday was the opening day of the cowboy roundup at Menafield and the crowd that turned out to see the sports almost filled the big grand- stand.

 There were 10 participants in the ropinR contest. The riders under the rules had to rope their yearling, down it by hand and then tie it. It was fast aud exciting work. Hamp Fannin, of Spiro, the last contestant, was the one to do the trick the quickest and was awarded first prize His time was 34 seconds. Sol Spring of Tali- nina was second with 45 seconds and Carl Taylor of Talihina third in 47 seconds.
 In the steer riding contest there were five contestants. G. Blair of Hatfield won first by staying on the wild, bucking longhorn more grace fully than the others. Opal Johnson of Hatfield was second and Joe Brown of Spiro was third.
 The slicker race was won by Carl Taylor of Talihina.
