He Never Advertised.

A young woman working in a
stocking factory, fearing her
chances small for a life partner,
wrote the following and slipped
it into the toe of a gentleman's 5
sock, says the Daily Trade:
"a young lady, good looking
and of some means, would like
to correspond with the wearer
of this stocking, If he is single,
with a view to matrimony.'
A young man bought the sock,
and said, "This is my chance. >
He wrote to the young lady, offer
ing himself as suitable party,
and to, his surprise, got this reply:
81 have been married eight years
and have a family of five chill
dren.''
The merchant from whom be
bought the socks never advertised,
consequently they had lain on his
shelves for eight years.

NUMBER 35.

100000 bales, of 800 pounds
weight. There will not be enough
cotton to meet the enormous de-
mands for consumption.
These are facts which have not
been. and cannot be denied ex-
cept by misrepresentation and
Juggling of figures for specula-
tive purposes. Those farmers
who recklessly rushed their cot
ton on the market and sacrificed
at 8 l2 to 10 cents, ought not to
complain if their neighbors are
still holding portion of theirs
for higher prices. If the spin
ners bought the bulk of this crop
at from 8 II to 10 1-2 cents per
pound, when they could as easily
have paid II cents, they should
not now complain If the small
balance of the unsold portion is
held at15 cents, in order to aver
age the price as near II cents as
possible. The price of cotton
has advanced $3.50 bale since
the New Orleans Convention; and
is daily advancing, on its merits,
and in the face of the strongest
combinations to hold down prices,
that ever existed. Wall Street
and Liverpool have lost their
power of fixing the price of the
great American staple. The
southern spot holder is now the
dominant factor in the cotton
trade of the world. His cause is
a righteous one. and will receive
the endorsement and support of
every loyal southerner, who be-
lieves in fair play in the great
fight which is now wagIng. The
south can and will win.
Yours truly,

The following has been sent on
by President Jordan of the South
ern Cotton Associations:
The mammoth Cotton Conven
tion held at New Orleans Januar,
lib, 1906, without a single dis
senting voice, unanimously EN-
| dorsed the resolution to hold th,
balance of the unsold portion o
the present crop for fifteen cent,
per pound, basis niddling, ut the
lports.
The Executive Committee OF
the Southern Cotton Association,
in annual session at New Orleans,
January ID, 1906, also unani.
mously endorsed the action of the
Convention relative to the fifteen
cents resolution. Represents
tives of Southern. Bankers, who
assembled at New Orleans during
the Cotton Convention, passed
strong resolutions guaranteeing
the moral and financial support
of southern banks in the
present effort of the Southern
Cotton Association to secure fif-
teen cents for the balance of the
crop. The fight Is now on to a
finish between the spot holders
and friends of higher prices,
backed by southern bankers, and
the Bear spectators, spinners
and enemies to fair and eqlita-
BILE prices. The lines are plainly
drawn, and friend or foe will be
quickly recognized by the voice,
pen or position taken.
We are dealing with a product
worth many hundreds of millions
of dollars annually, distributed,
in its raw and manufactured
form throughout the entire civil
lized world. The producers OF
this most valuable product of
southern soils have been the
slaves and serfs of the CONNER
eial and consuming world for
nearly half a century. Southern
cotton growers, financed by their
local banks, are gradually work.
ing a revolution in the old system
of marketing their staple.
Short crops and fairly good
prices from 1900 to 1904, freed
the southern growers generally
from the lash of mortgages and
credit. Increasing the food sup
ply crops has been an important
factor in developing that in
dependence and thrift which
should characterize every farm.
For these reasons, it made possi-

together with advanced thought,
study, and a better knowledge of
legitimate supply and demand of
cotton, that will enable the spot
holders of cotton in the south to
demand and enforce higher prices
for the balance of this crop than
are at present prevailing. 1t has
not been denied that spinners
could have paid twelve cents to
the farmers, for the entire crop
of 1905, and declared good divi-
dends on their Investment, at the
prevailing high prices of yarns
stnd dry goods. Ii cannot be de-
uie,l that Bear speeulators. backed
BY the spinners, took advantage
of the necessities ef the farmers
in September aud October, aud
forced prices down to 91-2 cents
per pound, buying III fully one
half of the crop at1l,nd ten cents.

STAND BY THE PRICE.

Stand firm for fifteen cents.
Sell your cotton at that price,
and do not undertake to force
the market still higher. Our po-
sition is, based upon equity and
fairness, and no effort should be
made to go beyond that. Let US
be fair with the spinners; and in
making sales let it be distinctly
understood that the buyer will
ship the cotton direct to the man
ufacturers, and that the cotton. is
not being bought for the purpose
of tenders on speculative con-
tracts in the cotton exchanges of
the country. Notify your cotton
factors that this rule must be
strictly adhered to. Let the
spectators who have been .sbear-
lug" the market and who are
short on their contracts, get out
of their perilious positions the
best way they can. We must
confine our dealings with the le-
gitimate cause of consumption,
and protect the spinners and our
own interests from abnormally
high or low prices brought about
speculative influences.
1t is now an established fact, that
the present crop will not exceed

The first new townsite to be located

north of Watertown and will be named

town will probably mean the passing
away of Dexter, one of the towns for
many years up there, as it is within
four miles of the new town.
The new town is at least twenty
miles away from any Of the larger and
competing towns.
1t is twenty miles from Watertown,
twenty from Bradley. twenty-five from
Henry, twenty-four from Waubay and
twenty-eight from Webster. Sites
have already been sold for three lum-
