secured through tlie United States
bureau of markets co-oper.iting witli
the extension service, A. and M Col-
lege of Texas, to spend a few weeks
demonstrating tlie feasibility of mar-
keting cotton on length of staple to
better advantage for the grower. So
successful was this demonstration
tliat a movement was at. once set on
foot to secure (lie services of a per
manent grader for 1919, also to es-
tablish the county on an extra good
staple basis. As a result several car-
loads of Lone Star cotton seed were
secured, while a movement for the
employment of a grader and the es-
tablishment of a gin especially suited
to handle tlie better grade of cotton
was inaugurated.

Although there was no official an-

Harding of the federal reserve board,
would accept the presidency of the
big corporation, it was learned on un-
questionable authority that Governor
Harding's acceptance of the presi-
dency awaits only his assurance that
the organization will be properly and
adequately financed.
