ARROWS AS USED IN MODERN WARFARE.
BERLIN Sept. 19. A shower of steel arrows dropped from French aeroplanes is the most
modern terror of. war according to a Munich Medical weekly. These arrows are made of pressed
steel with a heavy head and aslender shaft about four inches long-. The French aviators drop
them from a height of about a mile. -The arrows mushroom out covering a wide area of ground
when they hit. One man telling-the story of the arrows said that his regiment was resting in
close format iou when two French aeroplanes high above them released a shower of arrows. One
German was killed and several wounded while a large number crawled under the wagons to es
cape further arrows. - -- -

. Brownwood has been the Itmt cot-
ton market In the state duteg ttw
past three days according; totreporta
contained in the state papers. Tem-
ple yeaterday boasted that her cot-
ton market was hignest 81-2 cenrjf
being paid there for the best-grades
of cotton. Jn Brownwood Mrrever
the price was 25 points at6w'Tem.-
ple yesterday several bales of extra
good grade selling here yesterday aft-
ernoon as high as 8.75 cents. The
price today is practically the sae.
a difference of only a few points be-
ing reported by the local buyers.
Throughout the day the bank clerks
have been busy with the cotton busi-
ness and selling ha3 been brisk. The
aerage price was 81-2 cents with
better grades seHing as high as 8.62
to 8.70. No other town or city in. the
'state so far reporting Js paying a
higher price today than is Brown-
wood. Dallas reports by Associated Press
J today state that ten thousand bales
were sold in Texas today on a bast3
of S 1-.S cents middling.
"Bny.a-Bale."
The "Buy-a-Bale" movement Is still
progressing in Brownwood. A com
plete list of those who have. bought
bales at 10 cents per pound is not
available this afternoon but at least
seventy-five bales have been pledged
and several business and professional
men who have not yet made purchases
will do so during the coming week.
The market today is stronger than us-
ual and while many farmers are sell-
ing their holdings a few are being
given extra help by the "Buy-a-Bale"
movement. In this respect Brown-
wod has not been behind any other
Texas city and many needy farmers
have been assisted.
Time to Sell.
Many business men are of the opin
ion that the farmers should unloa
aM the cotton they have on hand at
the present prices and hold what Is
yet to be gathered if they are not sat-
isfied with what they can secure for'
it. "My customers will have to sell
some cotton and help out" said one
substantial business man this morn-
ing and a like sentiment is expressed
by others. With the market above
eight cents the farmers by selling a .
few bales can greatly relieve busi-
ness conditions. The remainder of-
the crop yet to be gathered may then
be. held without causing undue bur-
den to any one.
