ARMY OF BUYERS
AFTER COTTON
AT BLYTHEVILLE
City Clerk of That Town
Says Forty-F our Are On
the jobs Licenses
Are Issued.

Blytheville, Sept. 2S.-The couri-
er says that John G. Bourland,
city clerk of Blytheville, has check
ed up on the cotton buyers in
Blytheville and reports A here
doing business. He has issued
license to 2S, and Will locate the
balance instantly.
This is the largest number OF
buyers ever recorded here. and
shows the Importance of this city
as cotton market. This number
of buyers actively in the business
insures the grower that the keen
est competition prevails in the traf-
fic of the white staple
Most Of these buyers represent
Memphis and St Louis firms. who
purchase in the lint exclusively,
very few purchasing in the seed
aside from the local gins. The
buyers report an average of one
bale in six being offered for sale
in the seed Most growers drive
direct to the gin. In former years
blockades of cotton wagons lined
Main street, whereas this year
scarcely wagon stops short of a
gin. The system has been revolu-
tlonized iE two years. The grade
OF cotton has been greatly improved
also, since the grower realizes that
cotton picked clean and kept dry
adds materially to his cash.

instructor in manual training at the
Gunnison Normal School, gave emil
nent satisfaction as referee in the
basketball game between the Normal

day night, his decisions very evident
ly being prompted by the spirit of
thorough fairness. His work was fully
equal to that of Coach Krause in the

terize basketball games.-Lake City

One of the meanest bits of low
down profiteering has just come to
my notice. The manufac turers and
jobbers have increased the price of
cotton goods because "On account of
last years short crop, cotton is now
thirty cents" The thing is bare
faced lie. There is no thirty-cent
cotton. Last years crop was bump
er crop. Many planters did not pick
their cotton at all because of the low
price. Every pound of the cotton
which now comes back to us as cot
ton goods was bought and manufac-
tured on a six cent cotton market
and figured at a profit on that basis.
Along with this steal comes the news
that our government has been inf1u-
enced to line the notorious Burns
Detective Agency to catch profiteers
We all know what that means. Catch
the small frog and let the big ones
go by. AS a result of this steal, shirts
which l now sell in my store at one
dollar and a quarter, will cost me
sixteen fifty per dozen to replace.
And l will be suspected and perhaps
arrested by a Burns man for mark
ing the new goods higher than the
old. Every merchant in the land
should expose this barefaced robbery
of its friends and customers. But it
is not likely they will.-Merchant
Correspondent of Cortez Journal-Her-

New York-Highway divisions in
eight states started war on the ce-
ment trust"
Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, South Dakota
and Wisconsin will not buy any more
cement for road construction until
the price is lowered.
Representatives of these states met
here today and pledged themselves to
"gentleman's agreement" to this eff
feet. Indiana and Ohio departments
were invited but no representatives
were present. The agreement has
been sent to these two states and it
is said that they will also join in the
boycott.
viii Hold Up Work
The action taken here today will tie
up proposed highway construction of
over S20O,000,000 in the Mississippi
valley. Contracts now ready to be
let totaling over S1OO,OOO,OOO, are be-
ingt held up.
State owned cement mills to supply
the need of the states, is being urged
and Illinois has already taken steps
for the construction of such a mill.
There is S5,O0O,0OO available for such
mill.
''The fight against the cement man
ufacturers will effect all construc tion
industry in the middle west" Alexan-
der w. Graham, Jefferson City, Mo-,
president, Mississippi Valley Confer
ence of State Highway Departments,
said: eve think there ought to be at
least 10 per cent reduction in the
cost of cement. An average of S1.35
mill net per barrel would be fair
price, we believe"
Fail to Measure Decrease
The state representatives charge
that manufacturers of cement in sub
mitting prices for 1922 failed to
measure the decrease in commodity
prices. in that no reduction was made
in 1922 from the prices prevailing for
the last four months of 1921.
Wisconsin and Illinois rejected bids
for 1922 work amounting to approxi-
mately $12,00O,0O0 when it was found
that the prices had not dropped.
Wisconsin will stand firm in the
boycott of cement manufactures un-
till the price is reduced, A R. Hirst,
Wisconsin highway commissioner said.
"We have contract ready to be
let Immediately for about 100000
barrels of cement but this has been
held up until we get lower prices"
Hirst stated "Illinois had contract
for about 100000 barrels which
has also been cancelled. Illinois
manufacturers offered to sell us ce-
ment 71a cents cheaper than they
would sell Illinois. In the future Illi-
nois and Wisconsin will work hand in
hand and will sit across the table
when cement contracts are let. We
may let the contracts jointly"

FOUR-SOUARE MEN NEEDED IN
PUBLIC LIFE

In a recent lecture before the
North Carolina Literary and Has
torleal Association, Mr.. Walter
Ilppman, editor Of a great New
York daily, spoke on "the cult
Of the second best. = the substance
OF his lecture in a few words,
quoting from an editorial in the
News and Observer, being that
men IN public life 'do not DO
their best, do not do what their
conscience and judgment (unaf-
fected by their regard for their
own future) tell them to do.
They too often trim their sales
to catch the passing breeze.
They too often shape their course
according to what is popular
rather than according to what
they think is right
1t seems that the day of myr-
ters IS passed, and also Of true
craftsmanship, for both require
the sacrifice Of material interests
at times for the sake of principle.
What this country really needs
at this time is a leader who is
not afraid to express and fight
for convictions regardless OF
what 1t may mean to his future
Far too frequently men in pub
lis life, and editors Of the
newspapers throughout the coun
try, feel out public opinion be
fore expressing themselves
The nation needs men in pub
lie life and in newspaper wor;
who will stand four-square fo1
principle regardless Of what 7!
may mean to themselves.

cited than that Of our own hon
cred Congressman, Claude Hit
chin, who is, according to our
own opinion and that editorlaIIy
expressed by the News and Ob-
server, the ablest debater and
the most eloquent defender Of
Democratic principles the House
has KNOWN in this generation.
Mr.. k3tchin is the type Of man
who would sacrifice every honor
apd promotion rather than vary
hairs breadth from the prin-
ciples he incarnates.
When this country was on the
verge Of entering the great world
struggle this statesman believed
that it should not do so and his
convictions were such that,
against the advice Of his person
al friends and in the face Of
public opinion at that time, he
decided to fight against it on

every one remembers that nota
/ bic speech. We did not agree
with him but We admired his
fearlessness and disregard for
public opinion. His friends told
him that if he made that speech
he would kill himself politically
and would never be returned to
! the House. His answer was thai
he was going to follow his con-
viction if he never entered Con
gress again. That is the charac
ter OF man which the country
needs in every public place a.
well as in the halls of CONGRESS-
and that is the kind of man abou.

Those remarks constitute such
a wholesome sermon on business

his community prosper. It is not
