about SSO in money, a few watches
and possibly some minor things ot
less values. Although some say they
got a glimpse of the intruder in their
heme, the burglars were successful
in making their get-away form every
place. One of them was freightened
away from the front yard of a resi
dence, where he stopped to quench
his thirst at the hydrant.
Expect Arrests Shortly.

old dark trousers, folded up, were on
one chair in his bed room and the
light suit on another when the burg
lar made his appearance. Tue burg
lar evidently did not see the old
trousers, as they remained untouched,
but ha pockets in the palm beach suit
were turned wrong side out. Find
ing pithing in these trousers he
threw them to the floor and proceed
ed to plunder the dresser drawers.
Mr. Wall’s gold watoh, worth about
SSO, lay on top of the dresser, but
when the burglar opened one of the
drawers he threw a handkerchief on
top of the watch, and thus failed to
see it. More of tne burglar’s hard
luck at this place comes out in the
fact that although the rear door in
the house was left unlocked lie with
possibly some difficulty climbed

seven or eight feet from the ground.

In the home of Mr. McFarland, on

money were taken from tue pockets
of Mr. Story's trousers which were
on a chair near the head of his bed,

In Mr. Hill s home, where a watch
was stolen, the intruder decided to
leave a pair of ladies’ shoes and her
silk stockings, which were undoubt
edly stolen goods.
Only an attempt was made to enter
the Wise residence, the burglar being
frightened away. It is said that all
of the burglaries took place within

treasury notes for cotton
warehouse receipts.
Washington.—Ways and means to aid
the south in the handling of the cotton
crop in the face of the European crisis
were considered today by the house
committee on agriculture. Cotton grow
ers and merchants were on hand to offer
suggestions and the cotton experts of
the department of agriculture were call
ed upon by the committee to outline the
situation.^*
The committee discussed the cotton
•grading bill of Representative Lever,
creating a federal system of cotton in
spection and prividing cotton standards.
C. J. Brand, chief of the bureau of
markets told the committee that to re
lieve the present situation in the south
a general revision of the present method
of marketing cotton should he made. He
said any plan should provide for the
storing of cotton in bonded warehouses,
for the certification of each bale of cot
ton with a certificate of standardiza
tion and the actual identification of ev
ery bale of cotton with its cerificate.
Cotton Collateral.
“Without these provisions,” he said,
‘‘it is doubtful if cotton collateral, as
security, can be made as impregnable as
it should be in the present crisis.”
Mr. Brand said with proper legislation
the government could put his plans in
operation within ten days to such an
extent as to materially aid the cotton
growers. He said whatever was done
must be done immediately.
Among those who atended the hear
ing were W. G. Turner, James F. Hun

J. W. Culver of Clarksdale, Miss., and

WHO KNOW MOTOR TRUCKS
THE groat oil companies of America were one of the
first big lines of business to use motor trucks exten
sively. Naturally, then, those companies are probably more
familiar with the good and bad points of the various motor
trucks than any other important line of business. The great
oil companies know motor trucks by long experience.
CL, In June, 1913, the great oil companies operated a
total of 150 White Trucks.
Cl. In June, 1914, these same oil companies had increased
their White Truck equipment to more than 270, an in

during the past twelve months.
