UNION TO HOLD COTTON
NATIONAL COTTON COMMITTEE
ASKS COOPERATION.
Suggests That Investors Buy Now
at Low Prices and Withhold
From the Market.

Memphis. Tenn.-Comes the Farmers
Union and officially states that not a
bale OF cotton should be sold below 1914
cents. In recent congress in Fort
Worth a secret minimum price was fixed,
and no hint OF this price ha, been given
out, but a communication bsued today
from the union office in this city by G..
II. Hightower, secretary Of the national
cotton committee, indicates that price
Of 1914 cents will he satisfactory.
In order to secure this price. the union.
through this call, asks every Southern
business interest TO cooperate with the
established agencies of the union in with
holding cotton from the market Two
suggestions are msde--one for general
conference of ali interests that desire
higher raw cotton prices. while the other
is that individuals and business corpo.
rations invest in a few bales at present
low prices and put this aside rs dead
account, taking the cotton of the mar.
ket indefinitely and selling only after
sufficient advance has come TO assure a
profit on the investment.
The proclamation in part reads
is there any good reason why the
cotton producer should sell his product
today for 3 cents per pound less than
he did three months agof We do not
think there is. We are further removed
from the panic now than we were then.
Business conditions have improved in all
lines. The demand for cotton goods has
increased wonderfully during that pc
Rod. While cotton is cheap 10 sell, the
unusual has happened in the price Of
grain and meat. Corn has maintained
its high level up 10 harvest time and is
now selling for 81 per bushel. Wheat
is worth 81. and Hour has advanced Is
cents per barrel this week. Meat is sell
ing at midsummer prices. so il is with
almost everything except cotton. There
is no legitimate cause for this lethsTgy
and consequent loss OF many millions
To the South.
South Carolina and Georgia will pro
duee much less cotton than last year.
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Ar
kansas are short, and Oklahoma crops
are late and very much less than one
year ago. Texas alone shows small
increase, but her gains cannot make up
the loss in other States.
In our opinion, this is the opportunity
of the South 10 assert herself and bring
general prosperity to her citizens. This
is time when concert Of action will
count for much. Cotton today should
be selling for 1914 cents, il natural con
ditions had anything TO do with its
price. II is now selling for less because
growers are pessimistic about the price
and sell too freely. The slow market
ing of the crop viii certainly advance
the price"

Refreshing SwitcneI and the Way l.
 Used to Be Made

Refreshing SwtcneI and the Way It
 Used to Be Made.
 They don't make it nowadays-not mostly. But they used to make ii years ago, and how good it was! The corn lot had to be cultivated, and it was long way from the house, and it was very hot up there on the hillside. When they loaded the cultivator and the hoes and spades on the stone boat and hitched the two horses to that dry ground vessel, they slowed away as part of the cargo a big stone jug. And when the corn lot was reached the jug was slowed away in shady fence corner under the butternut tree and covered over with grass to keep it cool. What was in the jug? Switchel. It was made of vinegar, molasses, gin- ger and water. The water was drawn from the spring beside the kitchen and And the stone jug kept it cold. The vinegar gave it pleasant acidity, the ginger little 'tang"-that's what they called 1t up in 'the country'-and the molasses just sweetened it bit. And how good it was to go over into the fence corner and take a few swallows out of that jug of switchel!
 Come on, let's go and get a glass of Ice cream soda. It will be somewhere about the hundredth part as good as a draft of switchel out of that stone jug in the fence corner in the corn lot up In the country.-Utica Observer

THE FRIGATE PELICAN.
N Is a Small Bird With an Enormous
 Stretch of Winq.

The frigate pelican, or man-Of-wal bird, is usually found between the tropics. Although when stripped of it's feathers it is hardly larger than 8 pigeon, yet no man can touch at the same time the tips of it's extended wings. The long wing bones are ex- ceedingly light, and the whole ap- paratus of air cells is extremely de veloped, so that its real weight is very trifing. It flies at great height above the water and from that eleva- ton pounces down on fish, especially preferring the poor, persecuted flying 6sh for its prey.
