THAT GAS BILL,

We think, with others, that tn,
lime IL at hand when the citizens o
Ardmore should call mass meeting
for the purpose of making legal ar
! ransements for the appointment o
some reliable person. to read the gas
meters. We are confident that oui
/ bill last month. which was $3.50. was
too high, but we paid ii without say
ing word, as we do not like toe
much complaining, finding fault with
This and that, but We received our ac-
count this afternoon. and although
we used less fire in trying TO he saw.
ing, our bill is sl2 which is $2.2C
more than last month. Let the COM
pany have as many readers as they
may choose, and the city have as
many as they desire placed .under
bond, SO they viii stop at each meter
long enough to be sure they are cor
rect. DO we think the different read
ers would agree? If not, why not?
What would the people do here If
we were passing through a severe
winter? Our fires have been out
many hours during the past month
and we saved nothing, but it cost us
s2.2O. We are sorry to find fault,
but who knows what our bill will be
next month. The leakage and condi-
ton of the meters should he carefully

REDUCTION OF COTTON ACREAGE

The South has talked from time
immemorial about reducing the acre.
age OF cotton but the country seems
to be in earnest this year and the
chances are good that the acreage
of cotton will be reduced probably
onc-third.
Reports received from the cotton
area indicate that there will be n
much less crop this year and the
farmers locally will no doubt reduce
their acreage. A banker in speaking
OF the situation says the farmers are
in earnest this year. they are plan.
ming to plant other crops. and will
not plant so much cotton and a very
few farmers locally have stated that
they would entirely abandon the crop.
The best business men OF the coun-
try say that it is needful that the
acreage be reduced. There is enough
cotton on hands now to serve the
world a year. There is enough raw
cotton in existence now to keep the
spinners busy for year and as
long as that condition prevails the
farmers cannot possibly make money
raising cotton.
Here are some figures which make
II imperative that the acreage OF cot
ton be reduced:
Compared with last season ex-
ports from the United States 10 Eu-
rope the past week were only $1,000 J
bales against 227,OOo since August
first. 1854, 900 against 3.743.00O.
"Spinners takngs OF American.
compared with last season, were only
22l 600 bales for the week against
$4,000 one year ago. thus far this
season 5,l95.OOo against 7.555,OO0, the
basis for the whole season now figur-
ing only 10 0495,0OO, compared with
l2S55,OO for the whole of last sea-
son. whereas the crop of last year
points 10 about 1880 900 bales
In other words. unless spinners
Iaklngs during balance Of this sea-
son equal takings after this date last
season, the caIryover AT the end OF
next July is likely to be about 3,0O0,-
100 in excess of the carryover at!
lose OF last season. which all over
he world was G.0SG,0OO bales Of
american. :
These indications show how impera-
i've II will be for the South TO make
/ drastic reduction in the cotton acre
'ge in the spring"

LOCAL Ball TEAM
HAS GOOD Week

The Bottineau baseball team won
three out Of four games played this
last week as follows:
The first game was with Rugby at
the Fair and resulted in victory for
Bottinean with a score of 2 to 1, the
game being won in the ninth inning
when the locals scored the necessary
run. Robinson was on the mound for
Bottineau and pitched excellent ball
throughout, allowing only few scat
tered hits.
The second game was with Brandon,
Man., team and was won by Botti-
neau with score Of IL to 10. In this
game Lawrence Nordin had the mis-
fortune to break q bone in his leg,
just above the ankle, while sliding to
home base.
On Sunday at the local grounds
Bottineau took Omemee into camp and
won s to 6 ii 4 game which was any
thing but interesting, the day being
too hot for baseball. -.,
The locals went to Rugby Monday
evening and lost with score of 9 to
2 but this is due to not having pitch
er in shape to 90 against Rugby. A
pitcher from Upharn was hired for
the game but failed TO show up.
