COTTON SQUARE In
FEBRUARY UNUSUAL SIGHT
Their Vigorous and Growing Condi-
ton Show Mildness of Winter.

While at Statewide, in Echolss
county, the past week the editor OF
The News was told by Hon. J. H.
Prime, chairman of the board of COM
missioners, that he had cotton squares
on his farm. They were not on new
" planted cotton, of course, but on
old stalks, which now have a second
growth of foliage in vigorous and
healthy condition.
AS cotton is a very tender plant and
thrives only in warm weather these
squares show the mildness Of the pres
ent winter.

NEW YORK, July 2. William Harrison Dempsey the name by which the worlds heavyweight cham. pion was christened, was born 26 years ago in Manassa, Colo. The prefix Jack" was assumed by the big fellow when he had grown to mans estate, and had chosen the fis- tic ring for livelihood. AS fighter he had the idea and a good one. that by assuming the Christian name of Jack" some of the glamor if not the wonderful boxing science which the original Jack Dempsey, Brooklyn's famous "Nonpariel," possessed as the middleweight title holder, might re. vert to him.

 NE" YORK, July 2.-The greatest arena Tex Rickard has built Is ready to accommodate approximately 10000 spectators when Champion Jack Dempsey meets Georges Carpenter in Jersey City today.
 Since April 2S, more than 500 work men have been distributed over all sections of the huge octagonal saucer which grew daily under their tattoo of hammers until their labor was com pleted last week
 Twenty-Five minutes from Broad. way and 42nd streets. a more advant- ageous site for the contest could not have been chosen. Tube trains under the Hudson river will carry thousands of persons to stations near the arena Ferry boats will carry more thousands across the river from Manhattan to trolley centers in Jersey City within easy reach of the battle-ground. More than a dozen trunk-line railroads with Jersey City as a terminal, will bring their quota from distant places. Sev eral trans-continental railroads. with yards only few blocks from "Boyle's Thirty Acres" will park special trains of Pullman cars on convenient sidings which enthusiasts from distant points will use for shelter during their stay here.
 The arena is the largest ever built by Rickard or any other promoter for a boxing contest. It exceeds by far the amphitheater in which Johnson and Jeffries met in 1910 at Reno, New, and also the one where Jess Willard lost his title to Jack Dempsey at Tol. edo, O.. two years ago. It has been built at a cost of $2o0,O00. Two and a half million feet of lumber equal to 475 miles of boards laid end to end, or about 14o carloads, have been used in the construction.

Boxes. immediately in the rear of the $50 seats, have been constructed with the aim of accom- modating "box parties" comfortably.
 Numerous groups of officials. in. cluding Governor Edwards of New Jersey and his staff: Mayor Hague of Jersey City and possibly Harry NJ. D2ughterty. Attorney General of the United States, will add to the color and the quality of the unusal throng.

Thus, said the bureaus state

tilizer purchased much greater than
the unprecedented reduction in
acreage of cotton, and this is con-
frmed by the figures quoted showing
lessened use per acre. This lack is
reflected in the relatively low con-

points below the average condition
at this date. The quality is generally
as lower than in previous

CONDITION REPORT
SHOWS Low YIELD

Washington, July 2.-Cotton pro-
duction this year promises to be the
smallest crop of the last quarter of
a century, today's forecast by the
Department of Agriculture placing
it. at S,433,000 bales, or nearly five
million bales smaller than last years
crop and nearly eight million bales
below the record crop of 1914. This
years acreage is 28.4 per cent small
er than last years.
The acreage this year is the small
est since 1900 and never before, ac-
cording to the Department of Agri-
culture, has there been so great a
change from one year to another in
acreage as there has been from last
year to this year.
The condition Of the growing crop
has not in 20 years been so low on
June 25 as it was this year. All Sec
tions of the cotton belt have been
affected. 1t is due, according to
government experts TO an adversely
late, wet spring, and to the presence
of boil weevil in large numbers.
Owing to the unfavorable condi-
tions Of April and May and to other
discouraging factors shortage Of
fertilizer, and unsatisfactory price,
abandonment of planted cotton acre
age has been greater than usual east
of the Mississippi river, ranging
from five per cent in North Carolina
and Mississippi to as high as 10 per
cent in Georgia. West Of the
Mississippi abandonment has been
light. The abandonment was taken
into consideration, the crop report
ing board announced, in its prelimi-
ary estimate of acreage.
The amount of commercial fertili-
zer used per acre on cotton this year
according to the reports reaching the
bureau of crop estimates, is about
Sc per cent Of the average amount

PRESIDENT TO TALK
OF SOLDIER BONUS

Washington, July 5.-A state
ment from President Harding re-
garding the proposed soldier bonus
legislation is expected soon by senate
leaders. Belief was expressed today
that the president would advocate
passage of the legislation which he
discussed recently with Senator Nc
Cumber, Republican, North Dakota
in charge Of the bill, and other SEN
ate leaders.
AS the McCumber bill would not
authorize any payments to former
service men until 1922, it was be-
lieved probable that action might be
deferred for few weeks, in view of
negotiations for suspension of SEN
ate business while committee work
on the tariff proceeds.

MATERNITY BILL
DIVIDES WOMEN

Washington, July 2.-The Shep-
pard-Towner bill, pending before
the senate, has divided the women
of the country. The militant suffra-
gettes, which have acquired headquar
ters, called the "Watch Tower
overlooking the capitol, insist that
the bill be enacted. The anti-suffra-
gettes are conducting a bitter fight
against the bill which they say
would promote "birth control and
free love-"
That statement, Senator Kenyon
of Iowa, in charge of the bill, chal-
lenges. He thinks that inasmuch as
the congress has voted s25,000,OoO
to Columbia "bandits'' it might
vote $1,000,000 per annum for the
women of the country. He says that
mand. At that he might be mistaken.
Senator Reed of Missouri has en-
tered his protest against establish
ing government bureau to super
sede the women Of the country in the
business of rearing babies. He op-
poses the government "taking charge
of the family life of the country"
