the United States government. IL has not been necessary to touch either of these funds.
 Steadled and influenced by tho presence of the Farm Bureau Cot ton associations throughout the south there has been no fall slump in the market. this season. Cotton has been picked and baled more rapidly this season than at any time In the last 14 years. Also there has been the constant threat of war in Europe this fall. Despite these in tluences, the price has held and ap- pears to have an upward tendency.
 Nitrate Bought
 The Alabama farm bureau has trate, bringing the total to 10000 tons, representing an investment of more than $500,00o. This saves the farmer several dollars a ton.
 Nearly three-fourths of the cotton so far graded this season by the ex- perts of the Alabama Farm Bureau Cotton association Is middling or bet ter.
 In total of 19,462 bales graded 6,413 are strict middling and 2,579 are good middling. The greatest in- divldual grade. of course. is mid ding with 6,63S bales. There are 1874 bales of strict low middling.
 Practically all of the cotton re- ceived up to October has come from southern Alabama. though there has been some from the central portion of the state. North Alabama cotton is just beginning to arrive in appre- ciable quantity.
 A falling off in grade, as a whole, is to be expected as picking con- tinues in the southern part of the state. but a showing as good or bet ter Is expected from the north Ala bama cotton. when 1t is graded, as shown by the cotton from the lower counties.

see further than the British and French. American newspapers are disturbed by the reflux of Turkish barbarism, and they are right, but to be perfectly frank. l must say the United tSates is largely responsible for the existing conditions. If the United States had not quit the game so abruptly in 1920 and had accepted the proposed Armenian mandate 1t could have exercised happy influ- ence In the Levant, restrained the absurd meglomania of the Greeks en- couraged by the English and curbeG Frances Kemalist zeal. For it's own. the United States preferred to withdraw from the eastern as well as western affairs and thus deplor able in both places. Thus the perfect ly just criticisms of the American press lose some of their force.
 In general, it is going to be rather difficult for America to convince Europe of her viewpoint after declar ing she desires to have nothing more
 in common with Europe. Abstenta- ton is not a method of action. Ac- ton entails risks and whoever re- fuses risks cannot expect to influence solutions. With this reservation | heartily agree with the American press that Europe is committing gross stupidities in the Near East.

 Washington, October 14. - The friends of William Gibbs McAdoo are to6ay quietly organizing to obtain for him the democratic presidential nomination in 1924 Reports from all sections of the country confirm the news.
 Mir. McAdoo has the nearest touch to personal machine of any presl- dential aspirant outside the White House. In the memorable language of William Jennings Bryan, it IS said that almost a million men would spring to arms overnight for the former Secretary of the Treasury.
 There Is no longer any question but that the possibility of obtaining the presidential nomination in l924 had great deal to do with Mr. Me- Adoo's decision to move from New York to California. In 1920 BOSS Murphy of Tammany Hall blocked the nomination of MT. McAdoo at San Francisco. At that time Mir. McAdoo was resident of New York. If he couldn't command the votes of the delegates from his home state, his supporters realized he never could be put across. Mr. McAdoo knew that no matter how long he might live in New York he could not win Murphy over Tammany was at loggerheads with the Wilson administration. It was denied many appointments. Murphy blamed the influence of Me Adoo at the White House for his "turndown" at the hands of Presi- dent Wilson. and no amount of mis- sionary work by the McAdoo friends around the 'boss" could ameliorate the matter.
 McAdOo Moves
 There was nothing else for it. MT. McAdoo moved to California. Now his friends are saying that New York no longer is pivotal state anyway; that if the democrats win they must win in the west as Wilson did m 1916. At that time Wilson lost New York, but won California. The Mc- Adoo supporters say he will go and do likewise.
 There is no question. his friends say, but that the ability of MT. Me Adoo to put a smoothly working machine into operation all over the short space of time will have great weight with the delegates to the next democratic convention.
 Governor Cox faced woeful lack of national organization in the demo- cratic fight of 1920, and many of the Cox supporters were inclined to blame the McAdoo adherents for this complete breakdown in party ma cEinery. The only machine, potential ly speaking, that the democrats had in 1920 was the one composed of ad- ministration office holders. These of-

GAMBLING AT FAIR
 SCORED BY PASTORS

| Laurel, October Especial. )- Gambling devices permitted by the 1 South Mississippi fair in this city last
 week were condemned at the Laurel | Ministers association, which met at
 the First Methodist church the first of the week. The secretary of the | association was instructed to regis ter a protest against the action of
 the fair association in allowing
 gambling devices to operate on the fairgrounds
 This would have been done be- forehand but the ministers were as- sured that such gambling would not be allowed" says a statement from Rev. 0. s. Lewis secretary. Tn the face of such assurances, which were published in the Laurel Daily Leader, the action in permitting the gambling
 devices to operate Is all the more reprehensible.'
 The following members of the as-
 socist ton were present, and regis
 tered their righteous protest against
 the reprehensiole dealing of the fair management in the matter: Rev. c. c. Tucker. pastor of the First Pres byterian church: Rev. o. s. Lewis, pastor of the First Methodist church;

 These figures do not represent to- tai receipts by the association, but the amount so far graded.
 In the first season of tho Alabama Farm Bureau Cotton association att tention is called to the fact that 19,- 462 bales graded, but 1885 are below middling grade.
 Banks Aid Bureau
 Alabama's banks have furnished every penny of the money used by the Alabama Farm Bureau Cotton as- SC citation since it was organized. Whatever funds the association has needed have been forthcoming as called for from Alabama bankers.
 The United States government has placed to the associations credit the sum of s3,000,000. That fund remains available. but unused today.
 In the early days of the Farm Bu- reau Cotton association. when but few of the pioneers in the movement the men with vision, knew what it was to mean to Alabama cotton growers, a contract was made with New Orleans financial institution for the use of s1,000.00o. That million dollars remains in New Orleans to- day, untouched.
 Called on for but s1 ,00o,o0, the Ala bama banks made that sum available to the association, and on this home capital the association was based and has been functioning.
 Many Loans Made
 Many loans have been made Bor- rowing to finance crops in this state reached recently peak of s900, ,000. They have never gone higher. When more money is needed the association has it available. but the men the farmers chose to conduct the affairs of the association take a distinct pride in the simple fact that, so far, the banks of Alabama have entirely financed the movement in this state.
