you say, Chips?
BY the way, Chips, you are picking
at me again about the politicians get
ting into or rather getting onto the
cotton growers association. Now sec
here, Chips, old boy, you know the
good Master said let the wheat and
tarcs grow together until the harvest,
lest in pulling up the tarcs you would
also pull up some wheat, and then, too.
you know you've got to have somebody
TO do the talking, and if you don't let
the politicians talk they'll just simply
have an awful desire to do so. Never
mind, when the time comes the cotton
growers command them to get be-
hind, and if they don't take the hint
they will be bound and cast intO--well
out OF Office. Come, old boy, join us,
and when the victory is won you can
eXclaim: "Just sec what Betsy and
did" Don't find fault with what has
been done, but join us and help us get
the very best ideas and plans to I'D
vance the purposes Of the association
