The cooperation and active assist
ance of the Kiwanis club was pledged
Thursday by DR.. C. w. Shackleford,
president of the organization, in the
work initiated by the Exchange club
to obtain a post office building and
public utility offices in Fairfield. The

SCHOOLS NEED ROOM
Realizing the necessity of more
room to take care Of the school chill
dren next year the city council has
been called in special session for next
Wednesday night by Mayor NJ. w.
Pratt in an effort to work out that
problem. 1t was stated Thursday
that the city is in great need of ad-
ditional school room even a this time
and by reason Of the rapid increase
in population the Fairfield school
will be overcrowded next year unless
provisions are made at once to take
care of the expected increase. 1t is
realized by the city council that the
city is unable to issue any bonds for
school or other purposes until next
year but the board of education is
said to have suggested plan
whereby a site can be secured at this
time and paid for after bonds are au-
thorized later.
The opinion was expressed that the
Burgin properties adjoining Fairfield
will be secured, although Mr.. Burgin
has not made any fixed price to the
city for the acreage needed for the
schools. The site required for school
and athletic purposes will include
about five acres or more and this
is believed.
The city council has so far no def
mite plans but is heartily in accord
with the board of education in get
ting some fixed proposition worked
out to the end that adequate schools
may be provided for the children next
session.

Weekly Butter Review

CHICAGO, June 16.-Wholesa.e
butter markets for the week ending
June Is were easy and unsettled,
and marked by small declines, ac-
cording to the weekly report of the
bureau of agricultural economics,
made public today.
The import situation was given
as the paramount cause for lack of
confidence in the domestic market
in which current receipts moved
sluggishly and concessions in me
instances were the medium through
which sales were pushed. Some I'M
filled storage orders and lighter
supply of the finer marks helped
to prevent more pronounced weak
ness.
Exports of more than 100000
pounds to the United kingdom in
addition to regular exports to South
and Central America were made last
ye$r. This year, except for the reg
ular exports there has been no ex-
port business, but the domestic mar
kct has been called upon to absorb
100000 pounds imported from
Denmark, New Zealand and the
Argentine.
Closing wholesale prices yester-
day for 90 score butter were 80
cents at Chicago, without nct
change; 50 ga at New York, net loss
of 81; 40 at Boston, net loss -;
80 IL at Philadelphia, net loss of 1
cent.

FENNER & BEANIE COTTON LETTER

NEW ORLEANS, June 1s.-Good weather.
improving crop accounts and poor Liverpool
started cotton on the down grade soon
trading was resumed today. Fear of an
other upheaval in July restrained sellers
for time but they turned their attention
to cotton soon stocks and wheat be-
gan to break and pressure increased steadily
afterwards. Weakness in continental ex-
change and disturbing rumors from the
Balkans increased the disposition to sell and
added to the liquidation because of fear
of unfayorable political developments
abroad. Lowest prices were made near the
close.
The weather over Sunday was generally
quite favorable though scattered rains were
reported in some sections where not needed.
The forecast indicated continued favorable
weather though some unsettled weather was
predicted for the west.
Texas sent in reports CT weevil activity
at number of points and the southern sec
tons of that state are in need of rains.
The general belief IN the trade is that
cotton has gotten On the down era j.: track
and that it will take some pretty bad
weather Or other strong development to re-
verse its course. Some expect another DEM
onstration IN July to do it but the indici-
tons that any upheaval in that posi-
ton will have only temporary effect.
