TO MERCHANTS AND FARM Eli S:
In the last day or two we have heard of son
for 5c per pound because the farmers said they
which had to be paid and this was the best price
would offer them for it.
It is pretty hard to believe that th,: true because middling
cotton can be sole! iu Fort Smith toelav ti \ 7c and, while wo are
not in the cotton business and do not want to buy any. wv will glad
ly take cotton from every one of our viistouie'rs on this basis u
settlement of their accounts or we will s 11 any other iner.-h'ints
goods and let him pay his bills with cotton at this price.
By agreeing to take cotton we do licit mean that wo are willing
to discount any customer's account boc.msi' we arc not, but we
feel that cotton bought at this price and held for a reasonable
length of time will show some profit and \* nrc willing to lake
this chance because we do not want to si th" only crop that
brings any money sacrificed.
We do neit believe that there is a town within one hundred
miles of Ft. Smith where we have not on or more customers and
if the merchant can buy goods from us :,nd pay Ills bills with ■ ot-
ton at 7c per pound basis middling, lie ail certainly afford to
pay the farmer the same price.
Soni- time ago we wrote all our customers suggesting that
they take cotton from the farmers as collateral security at $30.-
00 per bale and advised that we would take it from them on .lie
same basis and agree to carry it for six months at S per ;ent in-
terest plus the carrying charges and ar" sure this arrangement is
much better for the farmer than for him to sell it at the price we
are now offering to p«y.
We know there is a certain amount of cotton that will have to
be sold, but every farmer who can afford to do it should hold a
part or all of his cotton Until the war is over and if they will do
this there is no question but It will bring a great deal more than if
it is thrown on the market at ih is tinie.
Do not give your cotton away, but if you are forced to sell it
find some merchant who is trading with us and we believe he will
give you 7c per pound basis middling because he an turn it in to
us at the same price.
This offer will hold good until we notify the merchants to the
contrary. Yours truly.

COTTON MEETING HELD
IN OKLAHOMA CITY
S. L. Morley returned home Wed-
nesday night from Oklahoma City
where he went to attend the state
meet called by Governor Cruce, for
the purpose of devising ways and
means to take care of the cotton
situation.
The meeting was presided over by
Governor Cruce. It was well attend-
ed. A unanimous expression was giv
en in favor of the buy-a-bale move-
ment.
The suggestion eif Governor Cruce
that congress be asked to impose
special tax on all surplus cotton
raised next season was adopted ill
the form of a resolution. The gov-
ernor said the surplus should be
judged by the amount of 1U14 cot-
ton on hand when the new crop ar-
rives.
Other resolutions adopted asked
the farmers to hold as much cotton
as possible; requested national legis
lation to fix the price of cotton and
regulate the rate of interest that may
be charged for emergency currency
asked that the next Oklahoma legis
lature pass a law exempting from
taxation In 1915 all of the 1014 cot
ton crop hold over and reconunend-
ed that la;id owners do not demand
money rent for 1915 where tenants
prefer to pay part of the crops as
rent.

permanent arbitrator in the set ti -
ment of local mine disputes.
The two men selected by the oper-
ators are Daniel McAlpine of Lehigh
and James Cameron of Henryetta.
The two selected by the mine work-
ers are J. E. Whaley of Hartshorne

Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 15.—The
"buy-a-bale"' movement Is spreading
rapidly and Is having a good effect
on the value of cotton. Cotton was
quoted at 8 l-2c and 8 3-4c in many
towns of North Texas today, accord-
ing to officials of the local cotton

machine referendum petition at .lie
state primary, August 4. was upheld
by District Judge James W. Steen
in a decision delivered late Friday
afternoon.
Judge Steen quashed the tempo-
rary restraining order, granted by
Judge George W. Clark on applica-
tion of Earl Van Dervoort, which en-
joined the state election board from
canvassing the vote on the slot ma-
chine question, denied the applica-
tion for a temporary injunction and
dismissed the plaintiff's petition.
While the issue was not raised in
the Van Dervoort case, Judge Steen's
ruling also affirmed the legality if
the election on anti-race gambling
referendum petition.
In delivering li's opinion Judge
Steen said:
• There is no doubt, according to
the facts as 1 understand them,, but
what the question was properly sub-
mitted. A decision by Judge R. L.
Williams of the supreme court, in a
similar case, clearly settled that point.
• I do not think that judges diould
assume the privilege of exercising
supervision over the will eif the peo-
ple, and it is plain that a majority
of the voters in the state,, from the
recorded result of the election, are
in favor of the measure doing away
witii slot machine enacted by the
fourth legislature?
Rape Slot Machine Businns.
Judge Steen rapped the slot ma-
chine business in strong terms. He
declared that lie thought a court at
no time should "go out of the way
to assist any person in operating a
game of chance" and that "the slot
machine probably was the Initiative
step making many a man a confirm-
ed gambler."
The home of Dr. and Mrs. W. W.
Sames was the scene of a pretty
rose shower Wednesday afternoon
in honor of Miss Tydfil Richards
who is to be married the latter part
of this month. The rose idea wat
carried out in every detail. The
home was beautifully decorated in
roses and vines. After the guests
arrived they were handed hand-paint
ed booklets containing a rose con-
test after which tea towels were
handed out to be hemmed while some
engaged in making a bride's book.
Punch was served and the follow-
ing guests gave toasts to the bride-
elect: Mesdames J. H. Baker, Sam
L. Morley, Win. A. Evans,,, G. A.
Riedt and Hamilton, of Fort Smith.
.Miss Richards was then lead into
the dining room, which was a bower
of roseB, and showered with rose
petals and told that there was some-
thing in there for her if die could
find it. She hunted and found a
treasury chest full of very beautiful
presents.
The hostess served delicious re-
freshments to the following guests:
Mesdames T. J. Stallings, A. E. Car-
lock, W. T. Reese, Wm. J. Rich-
ards. B. C. SitUB, J. T. Mitchell,

WASHINGTON. Sept.
mielst of the European
Britain, France* Spain and China
have agreed to sign peace commis-
sion treaties with the United States.
One effect of new conventions would
be to prevent the United States from
being drawn suddenly into the con-
fllct.
The first four treaties are ready
for signature and are regarded by
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan as of far-reaching importance.
While negotiations were begun be-
fore tlie European war broke out,
their consummation practically will
safeguard the United States from
being drawn in over any question of
neutrality or other controversy.
With the signing of treaties with
Great Britain, France, Spain and
China, tlie number of pacts of this
kind negotiate-f by Secretary Itryan
will number t\ ot-'-six. Nineteen al-
ready have been ■ ^-c'led by the sen-
ate comprising the principal coun-
tries of Central and South America;
Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, Por-
tugal, Italy and tlie Netherlands. Sec-
retary Bryan hopes to have thirty
treaties ratified by Christmas,, which
he believes will assure the peace of
the United States with the entire
world.
The treaties with Great Britain,
France, Spain and China provide
that "all disputes, of every nature
whatsoever to the settlement of
which previous arbitraton agreements
do not apply in their terms, or lira
not applied in fact,, shall, when di-
plomatic methods of adjustment have
failed, be referred for investigation
ind report to a permanent interna-
tional commission and they ajuae
ro« to 1-a M v wor or begin hostili
lies during such investigation and
before the report is submitted!."
The treaties specify that the re-
port of the commission shall be com-
pleted within one year after it shall
declare its investigation to have be-
gun. Although all the contracting
parties reserve the right to act inde-
pendently after the report of the
commission is submitted, the admin-
istration here believes a year'B time
will have the effect of "sober sec-
ond thought" on all nations and pre-
vent an outbreak in the precipitate
manner in which Europe ha .ust
plunged itself into war.
Germany, Russia and Japan have
signified their acceptance of the
principle of these treaties though ne-
gotiations have not advanced to the
point of draftiing convention. Similar
Agreements with Turkey and Gre < e
are almost ready for signature.
