Cotton Growers Il
Association Perfected

J G.. Greer, field agent for the Geor-
'gia Cotton Growers Association of
Atlanta was in the city yesterday to
perfect the local organization of the
cotton growers of this section. A
meeting at the Court House was well
attended by the members of the asso-
citation, previously secured and the
following officers elected: President
H. D. Troupe, vice-prcsident H. H,
James; secretary-treasurer, c. A. New
conner. -,
The association accepted both OF
Cur warehouses, who are riem5ers OF
The Federal system, as official ware
houses for the association. Members
may store cotton in eitherof the ware
houses. The association has secured
ample funds through the War Finance
Corporation to advance 1zc per pound
to its members on all cotton stored in
the bonded warehouses and the ad-
vance may be had by attaching a draft
to the warehouse receipt through eth
err of the local banks. In the case
where cotton is incumbered, a release
by the mortgage must accompany the
draft, when the same advance may be
had.
The warehouse will forward certi-
fled samples of each bale of cotton
stored for the corporation to the CEN
rial office at Atlanta, where the sample
will be graded and certified to as to
grade and weight. A memorandum
receipt will be issued to the individual
owner, stating the weight and official
grade of his cotton, interest will be
paid him at the regular rate on the
basis of 12c per pound
No interest is charged directly to
the borrower on cotton, as the entire
expense, interest, insurance, ware
house charges and all will be deduct
cd proportionately for all cotton. at
the end of the season. Mr.. Greer
states that quite number of growers
all through South Georgia are freely
delivering their cotton to the bonded
warehouses and the prospect for the
success of the cotton holding move
ment is very bright
On account Of the short crop and the
cotton controlled by the association,
a good price is looked for the staple
throughout the season.

STEVE O'BRIEN HERBERT
BOXER WINS FROM MOE
BIG HEAVYWEIGHT GETS REF
EREE'S DECISION-RETURN
BOUT IN JANUARY,

The following article taken from
the Regina Daily Post gives an ac-
count of a battle which Nels Moe,
who is we'll known here, had with a
much heavier opponent. Nels is con-
fident that the next battle will be of
a different nature and that he will
get his man. Following is the clip
ping:
Herbert, sask., Nov. 29.-Before a
packed house at Herbert, Sask., Steve
O'Brien, of Herbert, won the referees
decision over Nels Moe of Yorkton in
bout that went ten rounds, although
the popular opinion was that Moe was
entitled to a draw
O'Brien won a decision over jim
German in 1917. He is six feet six
inches in height and weighs 210
pounds. O'Brien's size and weight
was somewhat of a handicap to Moe.
A return match will be staged here
some time in January.

$4,000 IN TAXES
ALREADY PAID
County Treasurer Olson Reports That
When the Treasurers Books Were
Closed as of November 80, 1922,
Nearly II Per Cent of Tax Roll
Was Paid
LARGEST COLLECTION
FOR THREE YEARS

County Treasurer Dan J. Olson re-
ports that with the close of the treas
urer's books as of November 30th,
1922, the date when the taxes become
delinquent and the ten per cent pen
atty is added, there has been paid into
the county treasury of the 1922 levy,
the sum of $4,000, between 70 and
II per cent of the entire tax levy as
shown by the tax roll in the treasur-
er's office. This is the largest tax
collection that has taken place in the
last four years and it still means that
20 per cent Of the taxes go delinquent
or the SUM of about $4,000, which
means that those going delinquent
will have to pay the county in penal
ties about $4,000, making the sum Of
$154,O00 to still be collected which, if
they are not bought by tax spectators
will bring the county interest at the
rate Of one per cent per month or a
sum of $1400 per month, and less as
the taxes are paid. A large part of
last years taxes remain unpaid still,
and these taxes are mounting up at
the Kate of one per cent per month
also, totaling for the county a huge
sum Dy lIlS l1illC lI1C tctACS are ctEl
paid. Treasurer Olson looks for a
lot of the delinquent taxes of 1922 to
be paid this winter and also a large
sum of the delinquent taxes for the
past years to be paid in the next few
months.
Mr.. Olson says that he will call the
warrants on the general fund after
the first of the year, and that he ex-
poets to call them all except the ques-
tionable ones, action against the pay
ment of which is expected, and thus
stop a lot of interest and put the
county on a cash basis. 1t is expected
that the 1918 seed grain bonds will
be entirely called and paid in April,
thus reducing the county Indebtedness
in the sum of s245,000 and reducing
the interest levy in the sum of s17,150.
Mr.. Olson says that the prospect for
material reduction in the tax levy
for next year to be very bright.

CATTLE MARKET FAIR
SAYS FARMHOUSE

U. G. Farmhouse, Sr., of Cornertown
came over from his ranch in the Com
ertown country Tuesday to interview
a dentist in regard to certain pains
in his teeth, and stayed over in the
county seat couple of days to have
the offending members treated.
While in the county capitol Mr.
Farmhouse made the Producers News
Office a pleasant call. He reports
that he has just returned from Chi
cago where he accompanied a ship
ment of cattle. A number of the
cattle growers in his section shipped
out of McElroy, over the 500 about
three weeks ago: viz, Sig Nelson, 3
cars; Ed Strand, 3 cars; Peter Marion
cars of sheep; Peter Bruvold 1 car
and .. G. Farmhouse 1 car. Mr..
Rarnhouse reports that the party
struck fair market in Chicago when
they arrived, reporting that the best
grass fed fat steers and heifers sold
for little over eight cents and the
other classes for relative prices down
to 2 3-4 cents per pound for a num-
Der of old shells. The sheep brought
13 cents per pound. The freight from
McElroy to Chicago is 6OA cents per
hundred weight.
Mr.. Farmhouse reports that there
is a lot of unemployment in Chicago
and that there are thousands in the
bread lines. He says, that while we
are hard up in Montana, that we are
in no wise in the condition that the
poor people are in the east and that
Montana is the best place that he
knows of to stay in.
