happily, cotton is with us an inherit
ance, tradition, necessity and all
that. But notwithstanding the man
ner in which this crop is interviewer
with our lives, I'VE can effect reduc-

"A merchant who has unusually
large supply of certain goods on hand,
and little demand for these goods,
would certainly not set about to pro
cure more of the wares that already
clutter his shelves. The farmers sit
uation is analogous to this.
The wise course for us to pursue
is to raise as much food as possible,
and as little cotton as we can get
along with"

Heavy damage was caused in near
by towns by the explosion. Windows
were shattered in Hammond, Whiting
and East Chicago. The heaviest suff-
ferer was Whiting and where it was
reported every window in the down
town business district was broken.
The property loss there, according to
merchants, will reach 100000.
Normally about 5000 bushels of
grain arc stored in the elevator, but
at the time of the blast there were
about 100000 bushels. This was de-
stroyed by the fire.
The explosion took place just af-
ter 80 employees had quit for the
day According to one eyewitness,
there were three separate explosions,
the last being the most severe. The
explosions tore the entire top off the
elevator. This was Of light steel
concrete construction and was through
the upper part Of the elevator, like
the mouth Of great cannon.
SO great was the force of the blast
however, that the tower itself was
spattered, great pieces OF concrete
from it's sides being thrown in all di-
rections. Early estimates put the pro
perty loss at more than $6,000,00O.

Columbia, March 19-"It sometimes
seems to me that Mark Twain's COM

Cooper in an interview on the cotton
situation, with especial reference to
the necessity for acreage reduction. 81
am convinced that drastic cut in
acreage Is necessary for our prospcri-
ty," he continued. "And this rcduc-
tiOn must not be a mere matter Of
propaganda, but an actual curtailmcnt
and very large ono, of the amount OF
cotton produced during the year 1921.
1t will not suffice to talk about it,
something must be done. l know there
are many who will not agree to this
but It seems to mo that we are face to
face with the powerful laTw of supply
and demand, and that LAW is operating.
That's just our trouble; it is operat-

"Tho worlds consumption Of cotton

Many such calculations, and unbiased
ones, have been made The only con

the farmers Of the South pile up an
other large cotton crop on top of tho
cotton now on hand, the result would
be another year Of meagre prices for
this, our most important agricultural
product. There Is no reason to look
for any sudden full revival Of industry
in Europe, hence the European demand
can scarcely become sufficiently great
to offset the effect Of the tremendous
supply Of cotton now existing.

Washington, March 1S.-A last op-
lDortunity for selectve service law
eyaders to escape broadcast publica-

Persons who have reason to believe

licly branded as a deserter unjustly

The final check OF the draft evader

former members of the local draft
boards. BY the end of the month the
war department expects to begin max
ing the lists public through the news
papers and by furnishing copies to
city, state and federal police, detcc-

and other patriotic societies.
In addition Secretary Weeks will
ask Congress when 1t reconvenes to

EXPLOSION ROCKS SOUTH
SIDE OF CHICAGO
Grain Dust Exploded in Elevator and
Does Great Damage


Chicago, March 19.-An explosion Of
grain dust rocked the entire southern
section of Chicago early tonight,
wrecked one of the worlds largest
grain elevators and broke every win
dew within a radius OF mile.
OF the nine watchmen who were
trapped in the structure by the blast,
one is known TO be dead and four are
missing.
The elevator, which consisted OF a
series Of steel and concrete towers,
WAS located in the southern outskirts
Of the city on the banks of the Calu-
met river. 1t was guilt at a cost OF
more than %1O,O00,O0O and was operat-
ed by the Armour Grain Company.
The explosion was due, it was said
by officials who made an early in
quiry, to fire that started in a load
ing chute. The blaze set fire to tho
dust filled air and the resulting blast
rent asundcr the big tower, releasing
thousands Of bushels OF grain.
So great was the force Of the CX-
plosion that it hurled great concrete
blocks for hundreds Of feet and de-
rallied freight train which was
standing on track beside the eleva-
tor The few men in the elevator arc
thought to have been trapped by tho
flood Of blazing grain, but up until a
late hour tonight only one body had
been taken from the ruins -Four 9TH
crs are known to have escaped.
