REV.B.M.BRIDCES
GIVES FACTS in
HIS Case

It is doubtful IL there has ever
been medicine endorsed by 50
many ministers of the Gospel as has
Tanlac. Indeed, there is scarcely
IA faith, creed or denomination in
all the land in which one, or more,
of the elergymen has not publicly
expressed their Indebtedness to the
Premier Preparation for the bene-
fits they have derived from its use.
One of the latest to speak ont
in this connection is Rev. B. NJ.
Bridges, widely known and beloved
BAPTIST preacher, residing at Moores-
boro. N. c., whose statement fol-
lows
''Tanlac has given me a good an
petite, toned up my system and re-
newed nay strength in such graft

mend it to anyone who is in run
down condition. For ten years past
u have had such severe case of

anything to eat that agreed with

everything trying to get myself

b. THEVILLE HAS
A SERIOUS BLAZE
Cotton Storage Building and
Large Quantity of Seed
Cotton Destroyed.

Blythoville, Nov. 2.-The second
munity within 10 days occurred
yesterday when the Blytheville Gin
Company, at North Second street
and Missouri avenue, suffered 49,
600 loss when $4,000 pounds Of seed
cotton burned in the storage build
ing 60 feet from the gin. This
cotton had been bought from farm
ers and stored to await It's ginning
Nineteen OF the 20 storage compart-
ments had been filled 1t is be-
lieved the fire originated while the
last portion was being filled,
The cotton is conveyed from farm
wagons by means Of a suction sys-
TEN into the compartments, each OF
which holds bale of seed cotton.
1t is believed that while filling
a portion by this means q match
was caught and struck against the
conveying pipe, the cotton being
thus ignited. A storage section
was discovered in full blaze just
after a load of cotton was placed
in it. Responding to emergency
calls, engines from the Fire De-
partment rushed to the scene and
quick and effective work was neces-
sary to prevent other cotton build
ings and the gin itself from destruc-
ton. Although handicapped by low
water pressure, the firemen worked
heroically and, while the burning
building and contents were almost
a total loss, further spread of the
flames was checked. The gin com
pany owned all Of the destroyed
and damaged cotton. 1t reported
that only partial insurance was car
ried The burned storage building
will be Immediately replaced. TIL
gin is running again today a
usual.

COTTON CHEAP AT
INTERIOR POINTS
Farmers Not Receiving Fair
Returns, Says Exten-
sion Investigator.

| LlJtie 1IOCk, NOV. up Ill Tie
edge of the cotton belt in north
western Arkansas farmers are not
receiving fair prices for their cotton,
! it was said by E. A. Hodson, cotton
specialist of the University of Arkan-
sas Agricultural Extension Division
yesterday. Mr. Hodson has just re-
| turned from a trip through that
section as a part of study that he
| is making of cotton prices in various
parts of the state. Mr.. Hodson told
LOT visiting one place in that section
cents for all cotton, no matter what
its grade or staple. He said that
| on the same day cotton was selling
/ in Little Rock for from % to 28
cents. The cotton ranged from
strict middling to strict low mid
ding of from one to one and one
eighth inch staple.
Mr.. Hodson said that while it is
/ true that cotton in interior points
is not worth as much as it is in a
cotton center like Little Rock be-
cause of the cost of transportation
still the prices that he found being
paid are out of all reason. They are
from $40 to $50 bale under Little
Rock prices.
Saws Farmers Are Robbed.
| Commenting on Mr.. HOdson's fig
ures, John D. Eldridge, secretary OF
the Arkansas Cotton Growers So
Operative Association, declared that
1.-THE figures demonstrate that farmers
lin many sectious of the state prac-
tically are being robbed of their
cotton.
Our association is getting 81 1-2
cents for our sweepings, that is,
loose cotton which has to be ginned
again. he said. 1--WE haven't sold
any cotton for less than "a cents
for a week."
Mr.. Hodson said that his investi-
cations have led him to believe that
the competition furnished by the
Arkansas Cotton Growers Co-opera-
tive Association has resulted in bet
ter prices being paid in the central
markets of the state.
'Of course in the section that
visited cotton is not the principal
crop and there is little market for
it," said Mr.. Hodson. This is one
explanation of the low prices being
paid in this section. No allowance
! is made for grade or staple, the
buyers pay the same prices for all
grades
Finds Variation in Prices.
Mr.. Hdoson also said that his
Investigation had shown that there
is considerable variation in the
prices being paid in the various
cotton centers of the state. He said
that he has found that cotton in
some places brings from two or three
cents less than is paid for the same
grade and staple on the same day
at other places.
In some sections of northwestern
Arkansas, Mr.. Hodson said, it is the
practice to sell cotton in the seed
and in such cases the price paid
at the time of his visit was seven
dollars a hundred. He prepared
Figures showing the loss that the
farmer suffers by selling cotton in
this manner. His figures are a.
