sired that each locality make up
its own set SO as to be prepared

The old ST Louis Hotel, which is
Immediately opposite the reunion

There are $4,000 cases Of tuber-
culosis in New York city, and the
rapid increase of the disease IN
recent years has alarmed those
whose duty It is to guard the
health of the city. In the con-
gested districts Of the metropolis
and spread Of the white plague
has sent 5000 sufferers to the hos
pitfalls and the number of inflicted
is increasing so rapidly that the
question of their care has become
a most serious one. TO combat
the encroachment Of the disease
the city government has set aside
$3.50. OCO fora free tuberculosis camp
in the Shawangunk mountains IN
Orange county. Nine farms,
spreading over 1920 acres, form
the site that has been acquired.
The immense tuberculosis camp
will be under the direction OF a
specialist, acting in conjunction
with a special advisory board Of
physicians Of the health depart
ment.

party has been roundly denounced and
will lose many of its supporters. Race
feeling runs high. The same bosses who
put his name on the ticket have begged
him to resign, but he knows good thing
when he gets hold of it and he holds to
this. The South can enjoy good laugh

But scorer or later many OF these
have been shown to be theories only
and have offered no practical solu-
tions of the problem of direct trades
with this spinners of our cotton. All
along we have been bamboozled into
the belief that it was absolutely
necessary to havYa tremendous capi-
tai put up for this business. But
after a CLOSE study of this business,
including personal investigation by
some of our best business men, we
are convinced that every bale of cot
ton carries within itself sufficient
currency or capital to deliver it to
the spinner anywhere upon the face
of the earth.

But still, we now and then hear of
merchants giving in bearish reports
to cotton buyers who he must surely
know will use this club to hamme er
down prices to the ruin of his own
customers to whom he expects to
sell their accounts whether prices
are profitable or not to his customers.
The whole truth about the crops
is the very thing that these shrude
cotton manipulators don't want
they report a large lot of farmers
that are making as much or more
cotton this year than theysdid last,
but they stop right there and don't
enquire for the facts in tho case.
The large majority of these men
have increased their own crops of
cotton by planting lands that were
cultivated last year by tenants or
others, while their whole farms will
not average much above last years
crop.

darkest hours of the night are said

All this bluff and blow about it
being necessary to create a large
capital--like cotton spectators have
to do-before cotton growers can
have direct channel of trade with
the spinners of the world is fallacy.
Close investigation of the cotton
trade, as carried on by many, will
reveal The fact that producers of cot
ton have all along furnished the
capita! il the way Of cotton margins
sufficient to conduct the business.
Don't talk any more about the
producers of cotton having to have
more money than he already has in
his own cotton bales in order to 90
into direct deals with spinners.
A way is now being opened up to
the Farmers Union for direct trade
with the spinners that is beyond
doubt the most practical and cheap
est plan ever offered and is abso-
lutely safe to all parties.
