EXPECTS ADVANCE
IN COTTON PRICES
Lewis w. Parker Predicts Con
tnued Appreciation in Value
MILL MEN FAVE ONE CHANCE
Manufacturers Must Lend Their Ener-
gies to Raising Prices of Product
in Order to Succeed.

Charlotte, NC, May IL. -Over
800 delegates, representing every
cotton manufacturing and pro-
ducing State in the country, were
gathered in the Academy of
Music this morning when Presi-
dent L. w. Parker called the
American Cotton Manufacturers
association together in the city
of its birth. Mayor Hawkins
welcomed the delegates happily
and T. H. Rennie of Pell City,
Ala. responded in kind. Interest
in the morning hinged on Presi-
dent Parker's annual address, in
which he took a pronounced stand
against illegal speculation.
Owing to a new price level in
cotton buyers and customers
must be awakened to a realization
of the necessity of high cost of
cotton goods" This was the de-
claration mace today by Lewis
w. Parker. president of the
American Cotton Manufacturers
association, in his address to the
organization which began its an
nual convention here today. Mr..
Parker asserted that gambling
on a cotton exchange is just as
bad, in every particular, as gamb-
ling in any other form, and
should be prohibited by law"
He recommended the passage
of resolutions approving the poll
cy of the bill now in congress
known as the Scott anti-option
bill.
In speaking of the increase in
the price of cotton, Mr.. Parker
said 'Hit must be admitted on our
part that a portion at least of the
unfortunate results of the past
year is due to ourselves. Through
out last summer and the early
fall manufacturers as a whole
resisted the advance of the raw
material which was consequent
upon the shortage of supply. We
apparently were slow to appre-
ciate how short indeed was the
supply and were much behind in
this respect the speculative ele-
ment which foresaw conditions
much better than we did,"
Will Go Up.
Speaking of the increased
price of cotton, Mr.. Parker de-
clared that cotton must be. ex-
pected to be upon a higher level
of price than it had been in times
past and even the relatively
high price prevailing during the
last fall and winter and now pre-
vailing is not out of proportion
to other agricultural products and
to the great mass of manufacture
ed articles, many of these hav-
ing risen in value, as compared
with conditions of 80 years ago.
100 per cent; whereas cotton to-
day is not above so per cent,
higher than what may be termed
its normal price in times past.
1T must therefore be recogniZ-
ed" the speaker continued, that
a new price level in cotton is both
proper and necessary and that
we must bend our energies, not
in the effort to reduce this price
level, but to convince buyers of
its necessity and propriety and of
the necessity for a consequent
rise in price of manufactured
products. In place of bending
our energies towards the depres-
sion of prices of the raw material
the thoughts of all of us, as

awakening in them a realization
of the necessity of a higher cost
of cotton goods
Price Manipulation
Mr.sParker declared that 1T
is folly for any manufacturer to
claim that he is hot interested in
the manipulation of the cotton
market or that he is notinterest-
ed in the effect upon the raw
material of exchanges whose
methods tend toward the manip-
ulation of the price of the raw
material. There is a relation be-
tween the price of contract on
the exchanges and the actual
price of spot cotton, owing to the
great extent of those operations
on the exchanges. Our exper-
fence in the past has been that.
with a very few exceptions, we
are not able by any means to
purchase our raw material at the
price indicated by the exchange.
The very lives and fortunes
of too many of our fellow men,, "
said MI. Parker, are affected
by the manipulations of prices of
an agricultural product on the
exchange for our government to
sit idly by and see manipulation
in price without raising its voice
against it and seeking to prevent
it. To my mind it seems that
there must be action by the gov
eminent to protect interested
parties if the exchanges will not
themselves regulate their con-
tract SO as to be fair to both buy
er and seller, and if they will
not so regulate their contracts
to take much less, if not, indeed,
to prohibit altogether that manip-
ulation of prices which we so
recently have seen it is absurdity
when prices vary as they do on
exchanges without reference at
all to the natural conditions of
supply and demand and without
reference to the prevailing price
of the actual commodity"
Following his address a hand
some gold medal, expressive of
the esteem in which he is held by
the Association, was presented
to President Parker.
The concluding number of the
morning session was the paper
by j. III. Billiard of Memphis,
Tenn. on "Warehousing Cotton"
The paper by John A. Law of
Spartanburg on Excess Tare,"
was carried over to the afternoon
session. The chief among the
many social features of the day
was the reception at the home Of
the former president, R. M. Mil
Ter, Jr., at which Mrs. Stonewall
Jackson was guest of honor. To
night the delegates were ten
dered a dance at Lakewood park.

crate
The woman who walks along swing
inc her dIms or her handbag makes
mistake. She who carries her ell
bows sticking out and whose chin juts

ZION. A military rule is to hold the
bead well back and the chin well in
and look at the ground forty feet in
front OF you.
Tired feet will at any time ruin a
walk The woman who is going to
y.alIL gracefully must come down upon
her feet as though she enjoyed the
arperience. Poor shoes are responsible
for many defects in walking. A run

Carrying things in the hands sell

The woman who is going for a walk

ASTHMA.

Among all physical Ills asthma is
perhaps the most irritating. It is
had to endure. and terrible to OBJ
serve. Its victims die a thousand
deaths so far as suffering is concerned,
and yet are denied the dignity of hav-
ing fatal disease for it is one of the
heartless axioms of experience that
the victim is quite as likely to die of
old age as of his disease. It has been
said that asthma is not a disease, but
state of body, and if its victims are
able to extract any comfort from the
knowledge that. it is nervous in its
origin, they are entitled to that allie
Walton.
I Anyone looking on for the first time
at well-pronounced asthmatic seiZ-
ure is convinced that he is watching a
death scene, and no wonder, so ter
rifying are the symptoms. The patient
fights piteously for breath, sometimes
crouching for hours in one position,
pallid, bathed in perspiration; but,
curiously enough, with all the dis
trcss, the patient does not seem to feel
any real alarm as to the outcome.
The attack may pass off either rap
idly or gradually, in many cases leav-
ing no apparent effect except a sense
of great fatigue.
Asthma being a disease with a
nervous origin, it follows that there
are as many theories about it and
remedies for it as there are sufferers
from 1t. With some persons the at
tacks are apparently a certain out
come of eating q certain kind of food,
or breathing certain kind of air, or
reaching a certain day and month
of the year. Many asthmatics claim
the power of cheating their enemy up
to a certain point by moving to some
other locality when the tragic date
draws near-the asthmatics living in
the valleys may pass in transit their
fellow sufferers who habi4ually live
on the hills.
Those who trace their attacks to d.
gestiVe disturbances learn to avoid
the starchy foods, or the fat foods, or
whatever food it is that upsets them.
Some cannot live near a stable; others
cannot be near a certain shrub or
flower. Indeed, the specialties of these
unfortunate people are without num-
Der.
The asthmatic, however, has two
great sources of comfort. One is the
reasonable hope of reaching q good
old age; the other Is the fact that
great help is to be found for him in
strictly hygienic mode Of living. The
better air he breathes, both day and
night, the simpler his diet and the
more wisely ordered his exercise, the
fewer will be the number Of his at

THE LANTERN Fly.

The lantern fly of South America is
said to be by far the most brilliant of
all luminous insects, 1t some
times measures more than two inches
in length. The shape of the head is
very curious. 1t is furnished with a
hollow, transparent snout, nearly the
length of the body, whence comes the
lamplike light A lady relating her
first impressions of these insects says
she had several Of them brought to
her in the daytime and put them into
a box. In the night the confined in
sects made such noise as to awaken
her. She opened the box, the inside
of which seemed to be all ablaze, and
in her establishment the box fell from
her hands. Each OF the insects
seemed to be on fire. She soon, how
ever, guessed the cause and replaced
her brilliant guests in their place of
confinement. She adds that the light
of one of these insects is bright
enough to read by The FREELY is a
common representative of light-living
insects in this country.

TILE 10Y OF LITE.

Life is not enjoyable if there be no
9u+v no work, no occupation, no
serious employment. Life's highest
ideals noblest pleasures, sweetest
enfovments are missed by the idle
who are often dragged down into the
lowest currents. In food and play
glumber and holiday, the industrious
and laborious experience the keenest
zest and deepest JOY, while to the idle
these are spiritless and tasteless. 1t
we're not the best aim in life assuredly
TO do without work-not the noblest

precious moments in pursuit of
dreams for pleasure. The most mis-

BLESSED MINISTRIES.

There is a sphere continually around
man in which he must SOW freely If
he would reap joyfully; in which he
must give largely if he would receive
beautifully; in which he must serve
patiently if he would be treated low
ingly; and in which he must bear
bravely the burdens of others If he
would move lightly under the pressure
of his own. Unspeakably- wonderful
and beautiful are the ways of God in
having bound man by such tender
cords to such blessed ministries; by
having established on earth an insti-
tuition which constantly and nightly
draws forth and trains to their full
tension those unselfish affections, SYM
pathies, and passions by which human
communities are helped, blessed and
saved

One may abstain, when cold, from
warming oneself; if one be uncomfort-
ably seated, one may refrain from
seeking an eisier chair; if one is walk

deprive oneself of the pleasure Of eat

doing homework one may refrain
from eating the tempting morsels one
comes across. We may shun looking
at something which on account of its
novelty attracts all eyes, especially in
city streets.
Another excellent thing is to give up
our will. The life of a poor servant
girl who has no other will than that
of her employers, may, If she knows
how to profit by this remuneration, be
as agreeable to God as a nun who is
always face to face with the rule.

TAKE CARE OF THE TEETH.

The Importance Of sound teeth In
children cannot be over emphasized.
From the point of view Of health the
words of Cervantes are truethat a
tooth is more valuable than dia-
mond At the time when children
enter school they are likely to be los
ing their baby teeth, and hence indi-
gestion is very apt to be caused by the
decaying teeth that poison the food.
These teeth should be carefully at
tended to, filled when necessary, and
pulled out at the proper time. AL
though it is hard for children at this
period to chew their food. nature has
taken the precaution to provide them
in the sixth year with the best teeth
for chewing purposes that they ever
get, the so-called sixth-year molars.
Unfortunately many parents mistake
these teeth for baby teeth and let
them decay, but the best care should
be taken of them. So important are
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1910-06-11

good teeth for digestion that every
child should be trained to take care
of his teeth and should be shown the
luxury Of a clean mouth. Here is a
case where every child needs sort OF
military training. When our soldiers,
on account of the heat in Cuba, had
thrown away their baggage and even
their clothes, British officer who was
with them marveled as he saw a
regiment march by, each soldier with
a tooth brush twisted into the band
of his hat Thus children should be
taught that a tooth brush is an es-
sential article of the toilet--the last
thing that they should throw away.

SrRAWBERRY WINE.

Measure the berries and bruise
them. To every gallon add one quart
Of boiling water. Let the mixture
stand twenty-four hours, stirring it
occasional, then strain the liquor
into a cask or jug, adding two pounds
of sugar to every gallon of juice.
Leave open to work and when it has
finished fermenting, bottle and seal.
The addition of an orange and lemon
rind while the liquor is fermenting
adds to the flavor; cider is sometimes
added in the proportion of a cupful to
two quarts of water and juice.

THE LEGEND OF THE BEES.

Modonne, a disciple of st. David in
Wales, who at the end of his life en-
barked in a vessel which was to take
him to Ireland, was followed by all the
bees of the monastery into the ship,
pitching themselves at the PROV OF
the ship. He roWed back to the shore
three times, in obedience, trying to
detach the swarms from the ship, but
all in vain; he was thus forced TO
take the bees with him into Ireland,
where he taught the Irish the art of
tending bee-hives, which was not
known or understood there till the
monk Modonne taught them, and they
soon learned to relish this delicious
food, to which they had been hitherto
strangers. What a prodigy Of indus
