To Help You Win
Riches—power—happiness. The average
man places these as his goal. He dreams
about having them.
But the average man is slow to take a prac-
tical step towards that goal. He is content
to dream about it—and never gets there.
The most practical start is to start a savings
account Rockefeller had to save his first
thousand dollars. It earned the rest of his fortune.
Character Earns Credit
Saving men not only have capital for their efforts.
In saving, they establish a reputation which will make
it easy to secure additional capital when necessary.
A farmer has frequent need for capital if he is
striving continually to improve his property. How
important it is then that he build up his credit—
establish his char-
acter.
The easiest and
quickest way is to
start a savings ac-
count.

K. K. K. Paraders Make
Impressive Visit to Conroe.
Conroe, Texas, Aug. 4.—This place
today still was in the throes of excite-
ment following a visit of the Ku Klux
Klan last night.
Two hundred klansmen, sjhroudefl
in the white robes of the order, swept
through the streets behind a leader
who bore aloft the flaming cross of the
"invisible empire."
Posters had been displayed yester-
day giving notice that the Ku Klux
Klan would parade at 9:15 o'clock
Wednesday night and early in the even-
ing the people began to congregate on
the streets until they were lined with
thousands of spectators by the time the
klansmen were to appear.
Promptly the klansmen appeared,
headed by a rider mounted on a white
robed horse and carrying the Stars and
Stripes. Next came a rider with the
fiery cross of the order and riding four
abreast behind him were the members
of the klan.
C Some carried banners with inscrip-
tions reading "bootleggers and gamb-
lers must go." "Bring in the stills or
we will come after them." "The news-
papers fion't know everything." "Get
a job or leave town." "We want no
mulatto children." "White men stay
away from negro quarters," and many
other warnings. The parade lasted
nearly an nour.

ally fell down a flight of stairs at the

Cotton Marketing
Is Not Efficient
Oasley Discusses the Way Cotton Is
Marketed and Thus Con-
cludes.
College Station, Texas: Aug. 1.—The
following statement was issued by
Clarence Ousloy of Texas A. and M.
College today:
When The Xews estimates that cot-
ton passes through only two hands
from the farm to the mill, and that
the cost of handling averages only 90c
t#> $1.20 a bale, it falls into an error
which is amazing in a newspaper of
such precision. I am sure that even
the cotton merchant will laugh at the
statement that "Hie present market
machinery lacks nothing of efficiency."
A few weeks ago I met a Dallas
buyer at Stamford who told me that
lie was purchasing country damaged
cotton and stripping from 75 pounds
to 200 pounds a bale, and in many cas-
es getting only two full bales out of
three purchased. Country damage a-
lone runs from $2.50 to $G.OO a bale
on the whole crop. How is this for
the efficiency of "the present market-
ing machineryV" Doesn't The News
know that the Texas Farm Bureau Cot-
ton Association will warehouse its cot-
ton a nil save that waste?
Marketing Hi Oklahoma.
I have before me a study of primary
market conditions in Oklahoma by the
Bureau of Markets, United States De-
partment of Agriculture bulletin No.
36. showing that in twenty two typi-
cal ^primary markets prices paid to
farmers on the same day in the same
market for the same grade and staple
varied from 75c to $0.00 a bale in five
typical markets. The variation on
strict middling cotton was $2.50 to
$7.25 on low middling $4.50 to $12.50.
on strict low middling. $2.50' to $10
on low grades and tinges $5.00 to
$19.25.
A study of cotton marketing condi-
tions in Arkansas made by the Agricul-
al College in co-operation with the Bu-
reau of Markets, circular 92 of the Ar-
kansas extension service shows that in
1920 cotton sold by farmers without
knowing grade and staple was bought
at $10 to $50 a bale less than value.
I know personally that good staple cot-
ton was sold by some Texas farmers at
the peak of high prices last year at $90
a bale below value. Doesn't The News
know that the Texas Farm Bureau
Cotton Association intends to grade
and staple the cotton of its members
and sell it in even running lots, precise-
ly as exporters and spinners wish to
buy it?
Markets Circular.
Bureau of Markets circular 56, re-
porting cotton selling methods now pre-
vailing, summarizes thus: "A com-
parison of all coinciding sales as to
grade, staple and date selected from
the sale of approximately 200,000 bales
in the States of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia showed that the
mills (in the same States) paid an av-
erage of 232 points or $11.60 per bale
more than the average price received
by the farmer on the same date for cot-
ton of the same grade and staple."
This decrepancy includes an average of
$2.50 for freight and other necessary
charges, leaving $9.10 as the profit of
cotton merchants in getting the product
from the fans toxthe mill in the seme
States.
Local cot tor; pools, formed by farm-
ers and graded and stapled by experts
of the A. & M. College during the last
three months in lots of 200 to 1,200
bales, have sold $2.50 to $10 a bale
above local offers.
Will the News say that the present;
cotton marketing machinery lacks noth-
ing in efficiency and that it costs only
90c to $1.20 to get cotton from the farm
to the imll?
Facts are Available.
An hour's study of available'authen-
tic data, confirmed by a frank inter-
view with any coitcn buyer ef honesty
and intelligence, will confirm these
facts and convince the News that A-
merican cotton suffers more preventa-
ble waste and graft than any staple
product sold in the world markets.
It is plain be seen\that when one
farmer receives $19 a bate less than an-
other farmers on the sa^ne day in the
same market for the Same weight,
grade and staple, the cotton buyer is a
fool or the farmer is cheated. There
are no fools in the cotton buying busi-
ness.
So far from the cost of marketing be-
ing 90c to $1.20 a bale there is an aver-
age needless outlay and waste of at
least $15 a bale.
I am making this statement and ask-
ing The News to print it at once be-
cause its edu trial today, unchallenged
will put into the mouths of unfriendly
or ignora. ur reactionary men an ar-
gument win !i may seriously injure the
most promising economic effort ever
undertaken for the welfare of produc-
ers.

PUTTING DOWN BUTTER.
Milk and butter fat are cheaper
now. Therefore it is time to put down
butter to use next winter, when prices
will be higher, and all the cream can
be sold. A very simple and sure plan
is to take a crock or jar and sterilize
it thoroughly by scalding. Then after
allowing it to cool, pack the butter
down in layers of about four inches.
Between each layer sprinkle a light
layer of the following mixture: 1-2
pound sugar, 3 pounds salt and 1-4
pound of powdered saltpeter. Leave
about 2 inches at the top and cover
with a solution of brine that will float
u n egg. Put in a cool cellar. But-
ter put down this way, it is said, will
be as pure and sweet next winter as
that which is newly churned.—Farm
