Truck; So in Bronx Homes

-FOUR crates, each containing
twenty-five chickens-broil-
ers-were scraped off Joe Sorto-
lano's truck when he drove under
the elevated railroad structure at
145th street and Third avenue

up and went his way his 100

SUCCESS
 OF COTTON PLAN

Little Rock, Aug. 5.-Promoters of the Arkansas Cotton Growers Asso- citation are greatly encouraged by the success of meetings held this week at Helena, Pine Bluff, Little Rock and Newport. These meetings of the farmers were addressed by Aaron Sapiro, cooperative marketing ex- pert of California, who inspired his audiences with enthusiasm and be- lief in the ability of the farmers to organize for their own protection. In order that the association may function in this state, it is necessary that minimum of 100000 bales be signed up by the growers when the organization will be completed and the board of directors when the or ganization will be completed and the board of directors of 23 members will be chosen. A five-year contract will be signed by the terms of which the growers will deliver to the associa- tion their cotton which will be pooled and sold according to the principles of cooperative marketing which have proven so successful in the handling of California farm products. "Tn- efficiency, waste and illegitimacy in the handling of cotton must stop and we farmers are going to stop it," is the policy announced by those who are | ack of the organization.

FAVOR BROUCH AS
 NEW CONGRESSMAN

Little Rock, Aug. 5.-Friends of former Governor Charles H. Brough are suggesting him for the position .of congressman-a at-large, should the office be created by congress, which seems likely. Governor Broughs friends insist that he is the logical man for the place and it is probable that there would be little opposition to him. He is recovering from severe illness which began soon after his retirement from office and which 1t was feared at one time might prove fatal. His wonderful consti- tuition and tenacity of purpose en- .abled him to make a winning fight against the Grim Reaper He is spending a few weeks in Mississippi land Kentucky and writes to his friends that he is anxious to get into the harness again. He has number of Chautauqua engagements which will keep him busy for some time.
 In the last election, Dr. Brough withdrew from the race of United States senator that he might devote his time to public work. He is emmi- nently qualified for the office of con-
 Jressman-at-large and his friends propose that he shall be awarded the place, if possible, in recognition of his services in behalf of the state of Arkansas.
