CRANKS CONVENTION
IS OPENED IN CITY
BY PACIFIC TOMY
Sunla'nd., Cal, Sept. 4---The queer
est people in the world gathered here
today to indulge in the first Cranks
Convention ever held.., '
Delegates were called to order by
Dr. LeRoy H. Fry of Los Angeles,
who organized the ,conclave. ; Every
crank will be tnven a chance to ad
dress the assemblage of "queer" del
egates on that particular tneory or
subject that has made a crank of
him. : :' .. -v ;'.
Scores of automobile parties mo
tored out from Los Angeles and Pa
sadena to sit back as spectators, and
hear the funny people talk. ,
The convention will last several
days.' No limit has .been set. Accom
modations were furnished , by good
people of Sunland and Little Land
ers, two communities founded . oa
idealistic principles. '. .
Beneath the deep blue heavens and
stars on a generous shock of yellow
hay the delegates will pass the night.
The hay has been arranged in spac
ed intervals, The delegates will, fur
nish their own fare, and for those
who failed to bring along provender,
inhabitants' of this narrow mountain
valley will furnish nuts harvested
from the wild iron nut ree which
abounds in the valley. The floor of
the valley is studded with millions
of round boulders washed down from
rocky ravines which, viewed from a
distance gives the fantastic impres
sion of a hugt basket of nuts having
been spilled over the whole region,
Some of the more blase of the spec
tators even went so far as to refer to
this place as "Sunny Ntuland.".
One, of the surprises of the gather
ings was that cranks when they get
together find they are not cranks at
all.
Idealists, fatalists, religionists and
infidels attended in goodly number.
Several models and blue prints of
perpetual motion mechanisms were
exhibited. Many physical culturisteA
and sociologists were here to say
nothing of "unappreciated authors.'
"professors," and prelates of peace
and preparedness.
.There were no women cranks al
though feminine delegates were in
vited. - .- ; .'vi

Washington, D. C, Sept. 4. Ap
proximately 9,493 square miles of
territory in six States - "is released
from quarantine on account of the
Texas-fever cattle tick by en, order
signed by the Secretary of Agricul

The other territory released consists

ACUTE APPREHENSION
IN THE COTTONTRADE
(Special to The' Free Press)
New York, Sept. 4. A great deal
has happened since our last letter of
two weeks ago." The drouth in the
western belt has remained practical
ly unbroicen, thus bringing about the
situation that wasjmost to be feared,
namely, acute apprehension on the
part of the trade over the question of
supplies for the "coming season. In
order to fully appreciate the situa
tion as it exists today it is necessary
to go back over the July and August
weather. The most sensational rain
fall in the history of the Eastern
States occurred in July, cutting down
the crop prospects in those sections,
but leaving Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Texas with an excellent; outlook the
first of the month .. Rains began to
be needed, and one : of the w6rt
droughts in the history of Oklahoma
and sections of the other two States
started, which is still , under way.
Two such serious developments have
seldom, if ever, happened to the
growing crop. It will be recalled
that we have ipointed out from' the
beginning of the season that the real
question of fertilizers couli not , be
decided until th& fruiting of ' the
plant was actually witnessed in Au- J
gust. ' '':7''',3':t'''; '''"';
,The govarnment report ofthe 31st, J
showing a condition of 61.2 per cent.,
or 2.5 below the lowest previous con
dition in the history of the Depart
ment, that of 1909, can be definitely
attributed to this question of fertil
izers. Neither Tains of an etessiye
character, nor dry weather, could ful
lv exnlain these low figures. It is
not surprising that the market itself
was thrown into a turmoil, with one
of the most sensational advances In
years. Spinners are now thoroughly
alarmed, and as it is still too early to
obtain any large amount of actual
cotton, the trade is rushing to the
future markets for protection. , As
long as this continues, a '.period -of
wild fluctuations is inevitable. V
It is still too early to even guess
at the size of the growing crop, i A
good September and October, with a
late frost, would make all the differ
ence in the world. On the other
hand, there is an old adage in the
cotton business that seasons are- uni
form. This season has been unique
in so many particulars that instead
of a late frost we might have an ear
ly one, but all that rests In the fu
ture, and has yet to be determined.
With the inflation that is a peculiar
ity j of conditions In this country, as
well as abroad, growing out of the
progress ' of i the war, and the fact
that cotton, in large quantities is ab
solutely necessary as a war material,
it is easy to see that very sensational
developments are possible if. we are
to have a crop very much below world
requirements the coming season.
Coffee The market has , reacted
from the recent advance, but should
advance again., Believe in purchase
on the recessions. , ' ;v '
Cotton Seed Oil The oil market
has been active and irregular on va
ryinjNreporta as to the situation in
the Balkans, together ' wUb the an.
certainty over labor questions in this
country. We rather expec wide
fluctuations from present price both
up and down. ' . S
