Belton is looming up as one of the best and biggest cot-
ton marketing centers in the entire county ttos year. The
town is fortunate in having a number of buyers and the
fact that a government classer is stationed here is calcu-
j lated to bring hundreds of additional bales of cotton to be
sold in Belton.
In practically every town where a cotton classer has
been stationed the people of that section have said it was a
good thing and profited thereby. If the cotton classer is,
a good thing for those sections under the same conditions
and under the same circumstances it will be a good thing for iately If the Russian people were free
to organize a government according
to their own wishes, General Baron
Wrangel, who was recognized as head

they will know just what grade they are selling and
current price the cotton should bring. He will get value
received here and at the same time he will see the differ-
ence more plainly in a good staple and a poor staple of
cotton.
The cotton classer is calculated to be an inducement to
the farmer in encouraging the growing of a better staple
of cotton and will aid him in getting a living wage and a
fair profit on the investment he makes in the raising of his
cotton crop.
BELTON KINDERGARTEN.
Belton, Bell county and its people
The farmer who brings his cotton to Beltan and has it
graded by a government grader will know just exactly howj™ ,ov,rnmtllt
it classes and what it should bring. This will be an in- France a few days aso, declared here
ducement for the farmers to market their cotton here for'today. They are not able to do this at
owever,—beeause of- the
domination of the soviet leaders, and
the fight must go on until the Rus
slans are free to take matters in their
own hands, he continued. General
Wrangel expressed the gratification
felt over the note sent to Italy by the
United States government relative to
the Russian situation and declared
recognition of the south Russian gov-
ment by France "was the just expres-
sion of one ally's appreciation of an-
other's sacrifice in the common
cause." He asserted his forces on all
fronts are well equipped and that the
naval arm of the service was at last
able to assist in the struggle against
the boishevikl.
General Wrangel who leaves to-
morrow to personally direct the or-
ganization of forces rallying against
the bolsheviki, received the corre-
spondent of the Associated Press, at
his home in this city and gave hint
an exclusive Interview. While he
talked aides and ministers grouped
about his desk with telegrams and re-
ports requiring his consideration.
"Ever sine# the south Russian army
honored me by placing itself under
my command, leaders of various cos-
sack organizations ha\.e been urging
us to send expeditions into the Cau-
casus and Kuban regions to assist In
throwing off the tyranny of the bol-
sheviki," he said, "Soviet domination
has always been hateful to the cos-
sacks, but It was not until the last
fortnight that it was possible to meet
their appeals. We have been too busy
organizing here and establishing our
northern fronts to do anything e'.se.
"Various cossack expeditions we
have sent to Yesik and other points
in Kuban and the Don territory are
advancing eastward, being heartily
supported and joined by local cos-
sacks. Our navy is now restored to a
point where it can effectively support
our troops in any possible sea action
and consequently, the time is pro-
pitious for giving the Don, Kuban,
Astrakhan and Terekcossacks the or-
ganization needed for utilizing their
united resources against their op-
pressors. The cossacks have men,
foodstuffs and animals sufficient for
a long fight and the spirit with which
they have joined the expeditions in-
dicates they will soon hold all im-
portant ports and railways to the

A kindergarten department will be added to the Belton
public school system this fall. It is the first free kinder-
garten in Bell county and one of the few of the state.
It will be in charge of an experienced kindergarten teacher
and we predict its success.
The practicability of such an enterprise has already been
established in the minds of the school authorities at Belton.
For several years Baylor college has maintained such a de-
partment and the good results are apparent. The parents
of many deserving children, however, are not able to send
their children to a kindergarten for which tuition is
charged, but if they live in Belton they will now have this
opportunity for all children who are six years of age will
be admitted free.
Belton schools have long been recognized as among the
best in the state. In every department will be found a
high standard of which any school board would feel a just
pride.

STEI»IAN SEES WAT TO
GET PARDON FOR DEBS.
(Associated Press Dispatch.)
Chicago, III., Aug. 26.—If the so-
cialist ticket should win in the fall
election there would no difficulty
about getting Eugene Debs, candidate
for president, out of Atlanta peniten-
tiary, Seymour Stedman. the vice
presidential candidate, announced to-
day.
If the socialists have a majority in
the electoral college, I can be inau-
gurated president in Debs stead and
can then, by virtue of
to Italy on the attitude of the United
States toward bolshevism created?"
"It was most favorable," he replied.
It was very gratifying to me person-
ally and I am sure to all right-minded
Russians that the United States should
thus express it# disapproval of the
murder and rapine committed by a
group which is trying to rob the Rus-
sian people of all liberty, jjf it were
possible for the Russian people to or-
ganlze a government today according
to their own will, I should be willing
to conclude this civil war instantly,
but a great majority is dominated by
tyrants, and this war must continue
until Russians are free to organize a
government expressing the popular
will."
Asked as to the economic future of
South Russia, General Wrangel said:
"Control of some surplus grain has
already been gained by our govern-
ment and we will soon be able to ex-
port it, as transportation conditions
are improving. When we control the
Kuban and Don territories, Russia's
richest grain sections, we will be able
to export large quantities of foodstuffs
in exchange for needed manufactured
articles.
General Wrangel insisted the bolshe-
viki military and political strength
was greatly over-estimated. Scoffers
who predicted General Wrangel would
not last a fortnight when he took over
the fragments of General Denlkine's
fleeing government last March, now
give him great credit, especially since
the successful movement of troops
Into the Don Kuban regions as these
promise to consolidate the Cossacks'
strength with th.at of the Crimea.
