the world is made from cotton. The
world’s consumption of cotton today
is approximately 22,ooo,oop bales, and
of this, during the last decade the
American crop has averaged about
13,000,000 bales. It will require to

now demand clothing it will require a
larger crop than we have ever pro-

we can and will control the situation.

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 15.—John R.
Abernathy, hunting partner of Roose-
velt and United States marshal of
Oklahoma during the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, who is chairman for
Wichita County, once aspired to be
U. S. marshal and went to Wash-
ington for that purpose.
“Colonel Roosevelt was one of the
most intense friends that any man
ever had. He was only a personal
friend because he knew you but he
was a friend of all mankind because
he had the ability to' place himself
for the time being in the other fel-
low’s shoes and get the other fellow’s
Viewpoint. He could not and would
hot tolerate a lie. Once a man told
him an untruth he never again w’ould
have confidence in that man. He was
the kindest man I ever knew. He was
a clean man everyway and America
can today and for all time point to
Theodore Roosevelt with pride as be-
ing the ideal husband, father and
companion.”
Mr. Abernathy tells an experience
he had while in Washington prior to
his appointment as United States mar-
shal. Conceiving the idea that he
Should like to be marshal he went to

What confused and awed.
' Dallas, Texas, Oct. 14.—According
to the American Cotton Association,
when England, the great cutton man-
ufacturing center, becomes uneasy
concerning the outlook for a supply
of cotton it is time to take notice. One
of the largest representatives on the
Liverpool Cotton Exchange cabled
asking that they be furnished with
definite information' concerning the
indicated yield of cotton as shown by
the American Ccotton Association as
follows:
“Please give us the benefit of your
estimate as to the indicated yield
from the growing crop. Also indica-
tions as to proportion of good and off
grades, also your estimates to pro-
portion of spinnable cotton brought
over on August 1. Give us also your
candid judgment as to possibility of
stabilizing production, so that there
will be a vast variation in the size of
the crop produced. At what price will
farmers sell freely? Will all cotton
be bought out at the minimum price
named at the New Orleans meeting?
Will the American Cotton Association
name a different price after the ratifi-
cation of the peace treaty? Will your
association control the acreage to be
planted next year? Will an attempt
be made to reduce production below

NEW ORLEANS RICE.
New Orleans, La., Oct. 16.—A de-
cidedly strong tone was in evidence
in the local rice market Wednesday,
due to the increased demand for
clean rice from both the domestic and
foreign trade, and also to the light
movement of the crop. The price cf
choice clean has advanced fully l-2c
durin gthe past few days, and choice
Honduras was sold up to 12 3-8c,
while the inferior grades have ranged
from 4c to 6 l-4c. Weather conditions
were again unfavorable in the belt,
and arrivals amounting to 2,716 sacks.
Offerings of rough during the early
hours were chiefly of odds and ends,
and it was said that these lines of
goods brought as much as choice
grades last week. * 1
With the return of favorable weath-
er and the resumption of harvesting
and thrashing on a normal scale it is
believed that prices will not be low-
ered to any great extent because the
foreign trade now realizes that the
foreign crop will not be sufficiently
large to take care of the season’s
needs. ' Receipts of clean rice were
2,213 pockets.
recent quotations. Blue Rose is now
quoted at $10.25 per barrel, an ad-
vance of 25c. Early Prolific is quot-
ed at $10, an advance of 50c. Edith
is selling at $10, whereas the mills
recently were refusing to pay that
price. There is practically no Hondu-
ras or Blue Rose now on the market.
Stocks are getting low on all varieties
and will remain so until threshing
can be resumed. Under fair weather
■ from now on it will be a week be-
fore threshing can be resumed.
