"BUY A BALE OF COTTON"
State Organization Perfected At Co.
lumbia.-Movement is Spreading
Throughout. South.


The "Buy a bale of cotton at 1C
cents a pound" is still growing and in
Columbia an organization has been
perfected to. spread the idea. The fol-
lowing letter is self-explanatory:
Editor Press & Banner:
Dear Sir "
The South has got to help itself to
some extent in the present situation
1t will not do to sacrifice our cotton
crop. There is no use for us to argue
with the buyers as to what cotton is
worth. .:
On yesterday there was organized
in Columbia q TEN CENT PER
POUND COTTON ASSOCIATION. The
purpose of this organization is to get
our home people, as we'll as those who
are interested in South Carolina to
buy for cash strict middling cotton at
10 cents per pound, and then have the
buyer hold it for year, or as long a
time as may be necessary for the cot
ton to be actually worth that price on
the open market.
1t might be worth our while to bear
that the average price of cotton fol. the
past five years has been more than IL
cents per pound. Those who actually
buy cotton for the good of our State on
this 10 cents per pound basis are not
likely to lose money and are actually
going to render great service to the
farming interests. ...... -.
The purpose of the association is to
buy cotton from those who are in need
of cash with which to pay for the
picking, baling of the cotton and the
necessities of life, and not buy from
those who are able to hold the cotton.
We have already had some expert
ence in Columbia, and bought on the
first day of the movement one hundred
bales of cotton, which, as you can ap-
rreciate has put not less than $4,000
into circulation. This is the circulation
of real money, and Is doing untold
good. We have no desire nor would we
be able to handle from Columbia a
statewide movement of this kind, but
we wish to impress upon you the ac-
tual good that can be accomplished
without hurt to any ope, and to urge
the practicability of the "BUY A BALE
OF COTTON" movement.
If there is any information or any
suggestion, as a result of our actual
experience, that we can offer you. 1t
will be our pleasure to serve you in
any way possible; but the point that
we wish to urge is prompt action, and
the organization Of such a movement
in your county, which will be of very
material assistance at this time.
Yours very truly,
August Kohn, Chairman.

CONCERT MUCH ENJOYED.
Small Audience in Attendance at
MacPhail Entertainment.

That Bemidji residents do not ap-

entertainments to the city was again
evidenced when the MacPhail String
Quartet played here last evening.
The entertainment was attended by
a small but extremely appreciative
audience and every number on the
program was enjoyed. Pleasing
violin, cello, viola and piano solos
were given by Rudolph Kvelve,
Thomas Kelly, Edward fowler and
Mertianna fowler, but the playing
of William MacPhail won the audi
ence. He has power and depth in
his playing; a fine human quality and

woman's Study Club Request Veter-
ans and Members of Circle to
Attend Chambers Lecture.
"A GRAND ARMY MAN"--sUBJECT

Members of the Bemidji G. A. R.
and the women Of the Circle have
been invited to attend the John F.
Chambers lecture at the Methodist
church next Tuesday evening by the
Woman's Study club, under the aus
pieces of which the Redpath, favorite
will appear.
''The Grand Old Man." is one of
the many Chambers subjects and he
will give a presentation of it here.
The clubs invitation has been &C
cepted and section of seats has
been reserved for the benefit of the
veterans and the circle, and it is ex-
pected that large number will at
tend -.
Chambers will appear here as the
first entertainer of the Redpath Ly-
ceum bureau series which is to be
given here during the winter. The
women of the club have sold q large
number of season tickets, sufficient to
cover the heavy guarantee necessary
in bringing the lyceum course to Be
midi. It is believed that the course
of this year will be even more sue
cessful that that of year ago.
In speaking of the Interpreter,
Dean H. G. Laurance, of the Winona,
Indiana College course, said:
Chambers has come and gone. He
gave us wholesome, pathetic and
intensely interesting reading. We
all liked the man and admired his
work. It was splendid. I believe
would pay my last half dollar to
hear him again if had to go with
out gloves for the winter. The play
itself is most commendable one and
has the right attitude toward life
we are glad we had him on on,
