"In Oklahoma, there are hundreds 1
of acres of cotton frcpn which not ono '
boll has been picked." W. J. John- !
son, secretary of the chamber of com- *
^ meroe. stated today, upon returning
from an, extensive trip through the 1
north and West. Hft snAfilrfl n# what 1
he saw himself while passing: through
the western section of. the cotton belt.
"Planters out there told me thore's
no money in it; why pick it?" he said;
"Also con\ing down through tiie
Carolina*, I saw many fields of ootton
which evidently had never had a picker
in them. The cleanly picked field
was the exception in the Carolina*,
Oklahoma and Texas, as I observed
the cotton plantations.
"I would judge that the 1920 cotton
crop will not be picked before the i
middle of December?possibly not by
then at the present rateSEverywhere
I heard the complaint of the very high
rates demanded vby cotton pickers?
$2 to $3.50 per hundred pounds."
MT. Johnson made this trip especially
into the oil fields~of Kansas, Ok(
lahoma and Texas to inspect .pome
properties of a petroleum company.
"We have been hearing a great deal
down hereabout 'cutting1 prices' In L
other places. Chicago, Washington,
Kansas City and cities of this size I,
have 'reduced' prices?but I did
see any very Impressive 'cut;
This i'act Attracted my attention

husband, a faithful, careful fatlier, an
upright citizen, loyal his church,
and did not let go down in ruins, as
many do, the family altar. In his

His was a courage that considered
not hardships, a patience that

triumphed over privation, fatigue and
want, and fought on for a country
that could scarce give him food and

Splendid valor, noble devotion,
worthy of a final success that It seems

But last of all, our father was a soldier

While it has been many years sinle

all these years to go back home and
