"What did the cotton association meeting at Montgomery do?1' "What can I do to help get better prices?" These two question are being ask ed o every hand. Perhaps the best answer to both question is given In the editorial review of the work of the Montgomery meeting and Us i,lns as given In The 1'rogresslve I Farmer of September lith. an ad- J Tance copy ol wnicn aua 1 nished ua.

This subject has already been discussed In previous Issues or The Progressive Farmer. The deci sion of the Montgomery meeting was that farmers who can use cotton seed meal for feeding should exchange cot ion seed for an equal quantity of cotton seed meal, or should sell seed when a ton of seed Is selling for as much as a ton of meal. It this battle for better cotton prices Is to be won. the farmers themselves must fight to the finish. Here are six definite things every man can do.

The following resolution whs pass ed: "Resolved. That the county Kami crs' Union objects to the statement of Mr. G. E. Flow, which was senr abroad as to the condition of the crop in this county. His statement that conditions warranted the expec tation of a 50,000 bale crop we re gard as absurd, and in our opinion little more than half of this summit can be expected." Notice. There will be a meeting of the Union County Democratic Executive Committee at the courthouse in Mon roe, Saturday, September the 11th, at 10:30 a. in. All precinct chairmen are urged to be present, as matter vital lo the party will be discussed. GEO. 8. LEE. Jr., Chm. 1. H. BLAIR. Secretary. Cotton ReHrt Tim llulllsli. To the Editor of The Journal: I want to ay a few words In regard to the cotton crop In Union county. Some of the forecaster. In my opinion, are badly fooled.

Sept. 14. will be a red letter day for the Weddiugton community. On that day commences the first session of the Weddiugton Industrial Institute, the school fouud ed by the Methodist conference, and an Institution that U destined to play an important part lu the future life of this section. The opening will be celebrated by the laying ot the corner stone of the administra tion building, now under construc tion. .This building Is a brick struct ure, and will cost between 150,000 and $60,000 when It Is completed. Rev. H. H. Jordon, presiding elder of this district, and chairman of the institute board, will be master of ceremonies, while Dr. Gilbert C. Rowe of Winston-Salem will deliver the principal address. Dinner will be served on the ground, and all who attend are urged to bring well fllled baskets. Prof. R. E. Hinshaw .a native of Yadkin county, and for seven ye;f a member of the faculty ot Ruther ford college. Is superintendent of the Institute. Other members of the fac ulty lncluda Misses Fay Helms and Annie Hudson, both of this county; George Hawkes. of Rutherford col lege, and M. W. Winters, of Wed diugton. In addition to the courses offered by standard high schools, vocational training will be taught at Wedding ton. The study of agriculture will be particularly emphasized. A pamphlet prepared by Prof. Hin shaw has the following concerning the Institution: "Weddlngton Academy was built in the year 1899. A staunch adherent or the Methodist Episcopal church, South. R. B. Weddiugton. in his will devised to the Western North Caroli na Conference In fee simple ubout 600 acres of land In Union county, North Carolina, which, since his death, has been utilized by said con ference in conducting a school for hovs and eirls at Weddiiigton, in Union county, where iMr. Weddlngton lies burled and where is located Wed dlngton Methodist church and parson- nee, and otner property nevisea n him for the use of that church. The school was under the management ol a local board of trustees under the old regime and was conducted to; meet a local need, which was well met. In 1918 It was decided to con vert the school Into an Industrial school, and It was chartered by the legislature of North Carolina as Wed dlngton Indusrtlal Institute.

It is proposed that voca tional courses be provided to meet the needs of those who can never iMocure a college or university educa tion. To tins end, courses in agri culture, horticulture, stock raising, dalwing, and domestic science are bei.n: provided for those who wish to specialize.

The school farm Is also a source or employment for those who are Interested in farm ing and who expect to pursue bkiI cnlniial courses. Work shops and inir rooms will be provided for girls which will offer to them com mercial advantages in the near fu tore but we do not hold out prom Ises of such advantage to our girls fur this vear. owing to inadequate fa cilitles, and lack of time to provide same.

This board met and organized Sept. 5th. 1919. with the election of Rev. H. H. Jordan, chairman; W. S. Blakeney. secretary and treasurer, and R. E. Hinshaw, superintendent of the school; and an executive committee composed of five members of the hoard, namely, H. H. Jordan, W. S. Blakeney. W. L. Hemby. W. D. Haw field. L. C.

When the present management of the school took over the property they found that they had about 600 acres of run down land lying In Un- lon and Mecklenburg counties, and a beautiful campus ana inree ae.Hpma ted buildings, altogether Inadequate for school operations. They Imme diately entered upon an extensive building program. The old school building was moved off to one side of the campus and Is now being convert ed Into a sixteen room dormitory to be used temporarily as a boys' dorm itory, and a new administration build ing, modern In every respect, is be ing constructed on the old side at a cost of about $$0,000 or 160.000. The girls' dormitory, a three story framed building, has been recovered with metal shingles and Is being painted and remodeled which will give comfortable quarters for twenty (Continued on page elsht.) Aaaerira Is TecbUally at War With Germany, and Tbeie Are a Number of Itail Scram Going On. By COLONEL MINNIGERODE, in the New York Times. j For, nearly two years it has been assumed that the World War was over. Perhaps it Is. If the term "World War" is applied to the ton flict between die Allies and the Ceatral Empires, which ended with thd armistice. If, however, the term "World War" can rightly be applied to conditions of war which at present exist in many places throughout the world as a direct result of the great conflict. It is not over, nor is the end In sight. I have spread out before me a map of the world. This map has been carefully studied for the purpose of determining the number of wars at present In progress, the conflicting nalons, peoples or interests and the loeation of each. Each sphere of conflict has been compared to a vol canic Island containing seventeen volcanoes, each volcano representing a war. The volcanoes are in varying degrees of activity. Some are ap parently extinct or at least dormant; some are active, ever threatening to burst forth In eruption at any time with the full accompaniment of fire and quake and avalanche and the utter misery that ensues; others are in eruption and have been for varying periods of time. The list folllows: . L United States vs. Germany. . United State v. Austria-Hun-? sary. , Mexico. Revolution. 4. Bolivia. Revolution. 5. Ireland. Sim Fein Revolution. I. British vs. Turkish Nationalists and Arabs in Mespotamia. I, French vs. Turkish Nationalist. 8, Hungary vs. Rumania. 9, Polish-Bolshevlskl War. II. Wrangel-Bolshevikl War. lj. Greek vs. Turkish Natlon 8 alists 11. Egypt. Revolution. II. Turks vs. Armenians. 11. RnU-hevikl Persian war. 16. Bolshevlkl-Japanese war. 16. Korean civil war. it. South China civil war. aipglmitng at home. The United State is still techlcally at war witn Geeaianv and with Austria-Hungary. Theie wars bclonx In the dormant daff for the very sufficient reason ihut the conclusion of a treaty of peace is a matter of time only and there Is sght chance of a resump tion of hostilities between the Milted Slates and Germany nnd the United Siates and Austria-Hungary as dis tinct' from a general European war license this contlKency is so remote in' ucpmis.so nt the present time, it U hardlv fair to count these wars which have their beinr on paper only In the same category as active ones. The fact remains, however, that a state of war between the United Slates and these two Central Powers techieallv exists until peace is a con cluded fact. Active mid Dormant. There are two other volcanoes in the Western Hemisphere which should be -classified as belonging to i he active group, though not at pres ent in full eruption. A revolution is in progress in Bolivia mat may result In the overturning of the pres ent government. So accustomed, almost calloused, to th- kaleidoscopic ihiMiges In South and Central Amer ican republics have we become, that a mere little revolution or two there awakens no Interest. Much greater concern will be manifested In "Babe" Ku'h'a fiftieth home run than could iio.-sibly be silrrerd up over Bolivia's present difficulties. The Mexican rumpus Is a very dll ferent tiling. The staue has ! n reached when lexicographers consiuei i tie word Mexico sviiovmoiis olution. Since the overthrow of the Carranza regime and the assassina tion of Its chief a fair advance along the road toward stability lias Deen made, but this advance may bo hail ed at any time and a return to peon fighting, bull fighting, lianunry aim general bloodle.ting 'supersede It. Villa Is qulesrcnt today, but what n'.iiiil tomorrow. Can this leopard change his spot overnight. In Lower California tne little uoi-lat-marked dominion of Esteban Can lu Is threatening "to be or not to be," depending entirely upon wncuiei Ks.ebun is feeling grouchy or con vlval. Lower California has !ee,i a sinecure fo.' Cantu, owing, oi co.ii.m-, to the American thirst and American love of chance, which have kept a Kiream of gold pouring across the California boundary Into Tia Juana and the coffers of this pro-American. Late information is to the effect that an agreement has been reached be tween Cantu and the Mexican central Government, but any attempt to oust Cantu and keep him ousted Is going to start something. Another phase of the Mexican situ ation should be cleared up within the next few days. It Is Indeed sel dom that an election In Mexico Is not followed by a revolution, or several revolution. The election are sche duled for today (Sunday Sept. 5), and it is a foregone -conclusion that Obregon will win, provided the thing Is on the square, but there are two other candidates that will likely not be satisfied with the result. Robles nnmlnciiet. the candidate of the Catholic-Republican Tarty, and Zunl n Miranda the William Jennlnis Bryan of the cactu country. Agp'n. ther? are very persistent re ports of the activities of various I. W. W. Influences at work In Mexico. and In plte of the fact that the Government U making sincere efforts to corral these disturber it must be borne in mind that corralling bad men has not been Mexico's forte dur ing the last ten years. The Mexican volcano is very much awake and may be in eruption from several craters witnin a very short time. The Old m l.l's End. Turning now to the Old World the conclusion is Inevitably reached that it approaches more nearly one large volcano than thirteen small oues. There are actually, however, this un- ulcky number of wars now being conducted (or misconducted ) in that hemisphere, to say nothing of a few little personally supervised fracases like d'Aununzlo's iu Flume. Little prospect appears that an immediate reduction iu the number of wars in full swing in the Old World will take place in the fact the cables of the last few days announce the birth of another anti-Bolshevist movement in Siberia. This latest addition may develop into a real opposition to the Soviet and receive the support of the Japanese. If this should be the case It would add to the long list. In some Instances listed above as a war a techlcally state ot war may not exist. There may be no recognized government behind the activity as is the case of Ireland but the crux of war is that certain interests and ideals clash, that peo ples are actually fighting to preserve or establish these interests and Ideals and that blood is being shed. It is not essential to the existence of a state of war that armies be organized alone established lines or that tacti cal units be employed In the further ance of attainting the desired end. The Egyptian situation has become much clarified as a result of the work of the commission headed by Lord Mllner, and from present Indications this will be the first war to be drop ped from the list. It will be noted that four wars are the direct result of the activities of the Turks. Britain. France, Greece and Armenia are all engaged with the Turkish Nationalists In different fields. In the case of the British the Turk are receiving considerable as sistance from the Arabs. The Turk ish Nationalists are apparently mak ing a great effort to meet the Bolshe vist force that were advancing from the north, but so far this movement has been checked. With four dis tinct nations at war with the Turklsii Nationalists each conducting its own campaign it is-believed-, that creater success would attend their efforts If a ureater de'gree of co-operation were Inaugurated. A simulta neous offeiitive by the four would re sult In keeping all the available Na tionalist forces occupied, and the moi-al effect If Turkey has ever been susceptible to moral Influenci-i' would be worth something. Th Soviets, like the Turks, are fiMhiing four distinct and seraratt enemies. Poland In the wss. Cent r al Wrangle and the Persians in the south and the Japanese plus tt-.e new anti-Bolshevist movement In the east Itenorts all Indicate that things are going decidedly against th3 Bolshe vik! on all fronts.

Until recently the Bolshevik! were conduct in.g offensives agai.ist Poland and Persia. In the latter om they were attempting to form a i-inc tion with the Turkish NaiLinaliM Army.

Correspondence of The Journal. Raleigh. Sept. 6. The registration and voting by the woiueu of North t-aronua at Hie general election in November Is a subject that is lust now enlisting the attention of the iiianageiueuis of the campaigus of the two parties. The statement has been given publicity that the Republicans will make every effort to poll "the full Republican woman vote" (what ever that may mean), and the warn ing added that the Democratic wo men of the State should be ureed to exercise the franchise to their full strength. State Chairman Warren, in charge of Democratic State Headquarters in Kaieigh, was asked today by your correspondent about the matter. Mr. Warren stand ihat he had written to all the county chairmen of the party. urging tnem to properly arrange tor the registration of Democratic wom en within the registration nerlod. which is from Sept. 30th to Oct. 23rd. Much latitude is left to the local Dem- crats iu each county in looking aftsf tnis important matter. The appoint ment of precinct committees, who shall arrange for local meetings, with speakers to address the women and advise them as to their new duties as voters, is urged. A full registration of women In each precinct Is the on first step to meet the activities of Re publicans to poll a large woman vote. "The situation demands it," said Mr. W arren. Registration of Absentee Voters. Another important phase of the sit uation should be looked after. Thou sands of women, as well a men, es pecially school teachers, will not be at their voting place on election day, their work elsewhere making It in convenient and sometime impossible. All such should at once take advant age of the absentee voter's law to in sure their right to vote. All who ex pect to be absent from their home precincts during the registration pe riod have the right to register with out waiting until the date for the opening of the registration books on September 30. They can register at any time by applying to the chairman of the county board of elections. This is matter J hat shquld be -attended to at once. No Democratic woman should fall to cast her ballot in November, for' the success of the Democratic party largely depends upon her exercise of the franchise whether she formerly favored the suffrage amendment or not. If the Democratic women who did not favor the amendment should refrain from votinu,. It would put them and their party In a disadvan tageous position. All that Is neces sary Is that they shall realize the Im portance nf their action, and the State Headquarters Is relying on the county chairmen and precinct com mitteemen to look carefully to thl end of the work. The white women are no less patriotic than the men anil they will not sep good govern ment Jeopardized by any remissness on their part, once they are made to realize tht situation. ! luting Me Million Itnllols The state printers at Raleigh will this week begin ihe printing of five million ballots to be used in the gen eral election In North Carolina In No vember. This is ihe largest number ever provided for and is based on the vote of t he last' general election, with L'3 per rent added for normal increase of voters. One million Democratic state tickets and one million presi dential tickets will be printed. There will be seven hundred thousand Re publican statt tickets and an equal iiuinbri- of national tickets.
