There'll Be Meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce
Tuesday to Form Club.
OFFERS TO BUY
CONTINUE COMING
Firms From Others Sections Selling
Products Here Wire Offers OF
Financial SuppOrt-Ladies
and Children Helping.

The Pine Bluff "Buy-a-Bale" club
will be organized at a meeting to be
held at the Chamber of Commerce
next Tuesday afternoon, Sept. 10, at
4 O'Clock. Announcement of the meet
ing was made yesterday by Secretary
E. B. Bloom of the Chamber of Com
merce, and it is already evident that
leaders in the affairs of the county
will take part in this movement to
aid the community by securing the
retirement Of several thousands OF
bales Of cotton, for which the farmers
who must sell will receive 10 cents
per pound.
The local campaign in behalf of the
"buy bale" plan inaugurated by The
Graphic last Sunday and persistently
prosecuted has fully awakened the
people to the benefits to accrue to the
community and the individual from
participation in this movement, which
is being urged throughout the South.
1t appears to be the sense of the
best thought in the community that
this plan meets the needs of the small
farmer: needs not provided for by
any other movement. And that IN
meeting this need, it insures att least
10-cent cotton, and means of avoid
ing general business decentralization
through forcing upon the market the
cotton of the small grower.
Wee Tots Buy Cotton.
The movement has enlisted the sup
port of hundreds of people through
out this section. as is evidenced by
the offers made to buy bale or more
under the plan. The offers are COM
ing from ladies and children, as we'll
as men, indicating that the plan Will
place in circulation money now lying
idle or drawing small interest.
Among those who announced yes
terday they would buy a bale each are
Amy, Mildred and Galbraith Gould
children of Judge and Mrs. James
Gould. The little folk have their own
savings accounts, expressed desire
to help the cause, and their parents
believing it a good investment. con-
scented to the purchase.
Outside Money Coming.
1t is also evident that Eastern
Northern and Western money will b.
put into cotton through the "buy-a
BALE plan. Lee Levy & compan.
and s. J. Lang & company, both OF st
Louis. yesterday wired their loca
representative, G. A. Green & com
pany, to purchase cotton for them
: place it in, storage for year and re

This is the force which the Germans,
desperately attempting to break
through the French center and thus
compel a division of the allies lines,
have been hurting with alternate sue
cess at the French army until finally,
battered and exhausted the German
resistance has been compelled to give
way.
The heavy masses Of troops were
hurled forward with the greatest Wig

ton. They were hurled back as
promptly, the French following up
their advantage by tremendous and
terrific counter attack which the
FGermans were unable to Withstand.
Back and forth the two giant armies
swayed in death grips, until finally
the advantage rested with the French,
and the German line ,sWayed, then
broke and quickly was in retreat.

But the French advantage could not
be followed too closely for the incl
