dent Coolidge today came to the aid

ton prices. The board will join with
other agencies of both the federal
and state governments already at
work, and will devote special atten-
tion to devising orderly methods oe
disposing Of the large cotton stock on
hand. The president acted in the be-
lief that the situation could be met
by "a proper coordination of all the
agencies. Endeavoring to assist in
the work, he has been informed by
his official advisors that the situa-.
tion presented no occasion for "pan-
icky' views.
Eugene Meyers, managing director
of the War Finance corporation, was
named chairman of the, presidents
committee, while Secretaries Mellon,
Jardine and Hoover are the other
members. The committee was direct
ed by Coolidge "to cooperate with
those engaged in the production, mar
lleting and use of cotton, to investi-
gate the present market condition of
cotton and render such desirable ass
sistance rs. can he given by the gov
ernment "a the efforts already being
made in the south through the finan-
cial institutions, cooperative instl-
tutions, and federal intermediate
credit banks and otherwise"
Meyer and the other members Of
the committee refrained from max
ing any statement as to the plans.
but an Indication of steps they will
take We're noted in the advice Hoo
yer gave to Stewart w. Cramer, OF
Charlotte, NJ c., chairman of a textile
group. who had written the.commerce
secretary about the situation.
In a letter to Cramer, the secre-
tary said that cotton mills should
take advantage of the present prices
to acquire ample stocks, thereby plac-
ing themselves in a favorable condi-
tion TO meet competition from maRu-
facturers and putting the cotton
grower in better position to obtain
Improved prices in the export trade,
The committee was named by the
president after he had consulted on
the situation with his cabinet advis-
ors and members of the senate from
the southern states. The action was
advisable in furtherance OF the gov
ernment's policy of rendering aid,
which had recently. been marked by
making available $3O0oO,0OO credit
to the cotton industry through the

OF PARTY BELIEFS ]

enthusiastic auditnce in the Grand
theater Saturday night, Congressman
Carl Hayden, democratic candidate
for L. S. senator, explained the man
ner in. which the Swing-Johnson bill
failed of passage only through being
pigeon .holed" by the reclamation and
irrigation committee OF the house OF
representatives, applauded the demo-
cratic party in the state for stand
ing up for Arizona's rights in the
Colorado river protect as against
California, and assailed Senator Cam
eron's promise of protective tariff
on copper and the installation of a
cheap power plant for the Sulphur
Springs valley
Lewis Douglas, of Douglas, canli-
date for congress from Arizona on
the democratic ticket, preceded Con-
gresham Hayden as a speaker, and
devoted most of his address to dis
cussion of the Colorado river contro-
versy, in which he stated: 'If this
state is to receive full advantage
from the development of the Colo
RADIO river it must be developed
from the head down and not from
the foot up Douglas demon strated
his clear understanding of Arizona's
needs and established himself as 2.
cIear-thirking able speaker, who
knows his subject matter and how
to express it.

crs the stage was lined by state
and county democratic candidates, in
Guiding James Kerby, candidate for

and Dave Adams. Sam Yarnell ca
pably introduced tho various speak
ers.
"The democrats or this state have
been accused of standing in the way
of the development of the Colorado
river, but they have done so because
the development proposed was tbs
wrong kind for this state" Congress-
man Hayden said: The truth of the
matter is that California, during the
last session of congress, was fight

the Colorado river.

Sunday and Monday fair;
little change in tempera-
ture.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-10-10

1t was due to the heavy rain of
Thursday night and Friday that tho
program was re-arranged and the
sixth annual Cochise county fair was
extended one day. Work on the new
program was started at once. 1t
was agreed among the exhibitors that
the exhibits should remain open to
the public during the day Sunday.
1t was arranged with tile coz boys
that they stage a grand r;naI spoIr
program with special events and a
free for all race which will PROBABLY
be the classic of the day.
The race drivers of the state were
notified that the track would be in
better shape than ever before in the
on Saturday night the final details
of the last big day were finally ar
ranged and the stage is set thA
morning.
Sunday finds numDers of persons
who on week days cannot get away
to visit the fair, free to spend the
day on the grounds. The arrange
ments will permit people to see rne
fair this year who have never been
able to see it in any past year. 1t
will bring to Douglas from Phoenix,
Tucson, Bisbee and many other towns
and rural communities many visitors
who will enjoy the races ana the
riding sports and who will see and
remember the spectacle to be found
in the exhibit halls of the fair.
Advertisement of the change of
program has been broadcast through
the efforts of the fair commission
and the newspapers not only of this
Part of the county but of all the state
so that there will be few who are
interested who will not know of the
situation. The crowds today should
be much larger and will undoubtedly
be many times more enthusiasp,&
than any ever gathered III this city.
