NOW IS THE TIME

HELP THE LEGION MAKE THE TOWN MORE
BEAUTIFUL AND SANITARY
Believing that the town needs a thorough cleansing and that
now is the lime to start the good work the Lone Wolf Post of the
American Legion has set aside February 22. Washington’s Birth-
day, as a cleanup day. They have decided to make this a real
spring cleaning; to gather up all the dirt and trash from both the
business and residence section and burn otf every vacant lot rf the
weather permits.
I he work contemplated by the Legion is something the town
has long been in need of and it is hoped that each and every citi-
zen will cooperate with them to the utmost. It has not taken a
very observing person, of late months, to notice the generally
dirty appearance of the whole city, the weeds on the vacant lots,
the tm cans and trash collected behind near), every residence, the
tilthv condition of the down town streets and alleys, the unsani-
tary condition of the whole city, and the general lack of pride w§
all seem to be taking in our home town.

It therefore stands us well in hand to give the L»n? Wolf Post
the heartiest cooperation in their plan. Tne work th^y have out-
lined calls for a whole lot of labor and without the help of each
and every one of the citizens, they will not be able to cover the
town as thev should and some of the most necessarv part of the
wot k will have to be left undone. The News has been requested
to give their program of cleanup in full. We do so in the next
paragraph.

Some Cotton Facts
The "visible supply” is that
amount of cotton which has been
brought in sight but has not beta
spun or otherwise taken out of
sight.
The "invisible supply” of
American cotton is that amount
yet to be brought in sight by
reaching an American port or
any one of 41 designated interior
markets, or a consuming estab-
lishment.
The "visible” plus the "invis-
ible” makes the total supply.
The amount yet to be brought
in sight” this year is estimated
to be 3,600,000 bales greater
than it was at the same time last
year.
Estimating the crop at 12.-
987,000 bales the amount yet to
be brought in sight is more than
7.000.000 bales.
there is now enough cotton in
the world, unspun, to last about
two years.
English mills are now running
35 hours a week on Egyptian
cottons while they are spinning
American cotton only 24 hours a
week.
The average per acre produc-
tion of cotton in India is less
than 80 pounds of lint. In Amer-
ica the 10-year average for the
whole belt is 182 pounds.
The prospective carry-over of
American cotton is 9,683,000
bales.
There have been five impor-
tant acreage campaigns since
1840, all resulting iri substantial
reduction of acreage.
World Politics

subject which has been thrown

This is one of the three social

Oklahoma to all men and women
