COTTON ASSOCIATIONS SCHEME
Proposes to Organize Hundred
~, Million Dollar Corporation
to Control the Price

Hot Springs. Sept. S-The ex-
eeutive committee of the Southern
Cotton Association concluded its
session this afternoon and adjourn
ed subject to the call of the presi-
dent of the association. The prin-
-clpal business transacted was the
consideration of resolution look
ing to the formation of corpora
alton with a capitalization of $780,
100000 for the purpose of taking
care of the distressed" cotton of
the South. The resolution follows:
Whereas, after two years ex.
perience in attempting to maintain
fair price for cotton and realiZ-
ing that we are in our present
status an advisory board; in order
to put ourselves in position to en-
force our minimum.
BE it resolved, That we organ
lie the Southern Cotton Associa-
ton into corporation for the pur-
pose Of buying, selling and ware
housing cotton, and that we open
books of subscriptions for a CAPT
tai stock of 500. 900. 600, the
shares to be s. each. >
JoRDAN's EXPLANATION
President Harvie Jordan gave
the following explanation of the
resolution:
1t is for the purpos of taking
care of distressed cotton, and by
distressed cotton, l mean cotton
that is forced on the market by
people who are unable to finance
cotton and are unable to liquidate
maturing obligations. The cor
poration proposes to 90 into the
markets and buy up this class of
cotton when it is being offered at
prices below the minimum fixed
by the association, and will be
held by the corporation until the
market advances to the minimum
price. The cotton will be stored
In various warehouses throughout
the cotton belt, wherever bought,
and can be used to margin the pur-
chase of additional cotton when
ever it becomes necessary. Under
this plan the cotton forced upon
the market can be kept out of the
hands of exporters and spinners
and will regulate the price of cot
ton by the legitimate laws of sup
ply and demand.

WASH DAY IN CIRCUS TENT.
Tent People Are Like Members of a

 "To be sure," was the gracious re- sponse of the cheery mother" of the tent to the request of the inquirers Just make yourselves comfortable" and easy camp chairs were placed at our disposal eyes. the ladies are usu- ally pretty busy at this hour, for, you see, the clothes must be dried by noon."
 What funny sight those clothes lines were. On one short line, between tent poles, hung pink tights, pale green trunks, half a dozen pairs of sandals, silk underskirt and two kerchiefs.
 "The laundry man has been here and two wash also but there are always some things one cannot send" said a laughing, brown-eyed girl, as she vigorously rubbed on small washboard set in big tin pan.
 "Cold water? Of course-but we don't mind-and aside from the saving we know the washing will suit. At least we're sure of having things done our way. Why, one of the girls once sent some tights to the laundry and they came back starched. Yes! Just fancy iti She had badly sprained her wrist and was too proud to ask the rest of us to do her washing, but after that (and good cry) she let us help, and she's been for two months now trying, as she says, to get even.'
 You see, we're really just like large family, and though one has pref erences it Is best to live together as peaceably as possible; so we all just help where we can" And she turned to help fasten the waist of her neigh bor, who was putting on a stylish, but modest shirtwaist suit to go down town
