Whereas, Great Britain has placed
cotton on the contraband LIST as a
war measure; and,
Whereas, the action of Great Brit
ain is a masked effort to reduce the
price of cotton, so that her buyers
and those of English corporations
firms and corporations may come into
the south and buy cotton at a greatly
reduced price, below the cost Of pro
duCtion; and
Whereas Great Britain is purchas-
ing many munitions of war, ammuni-
ton, etc. from the United States
with which to carry on the war with
other European nations; therefore,
be it
Resolved by the house, the senate
ccncurring, that the president OF the
United States be petitioned by this
body to call an extraordinary session
of congress, and submit to it recon-
mendation of the passage of such
laws as will prevent persons, firms
or corporations in the United States
from selling arms, ammunition and
other munitions of war to Great Brit
ain until such time as she shall take
cotton from the contraband list.
Resolved, further, that the news
papers of Alabama are requested to
give as much publicity to this re5u-
luton as possible, and that they also
work a sentiment along this line, and
that citizens, individuals, firms and
corporations write letters to their
Representatives in congress urging
them to support and actively work
for such measures as the president
may recommend to congress in an
effort to keep the cotton crop of 1916

and so home with his mind thor
oughly made up that cotton clothes
are good enough for him.
Brother Farmer, there are many an
giles to this cotton question, and it is
going to require long and continued
effort and steady cooperation to work
out our salvation that is wrapped up
in cotton. Farmers, hold your cot
ton; when the price gets up to where
they think you will SELL and you ac
tually go to selling and rushing your
cotton on the market, then the price
will stop going up for a while; why
should it continue to go up? The
spinner and the speculator want to
buy it, and why should they bid an"
HlSltI lOI II NHtu you are St4lluS I
as fast as you can at their price? ?
They know it is going higher, and tn
speculator is buying it and storing
it away for the higher prices that
everybody knows are bound to come
soon. Any man can hold cotton that
has the cotton to put up as collateral
If you haven't but one bale, hold 1t
until Gabriel blows his trumpet--til}
it is no longer a contraband, made
by hand.
Hold Your Cotton Seed.
Cotton seed is going to break th2
record on high prices. You had just
as well get those prices as anybod,
else and you can get them by holding
your seed.
Many thanks to you, gentle reader
for your patience. Yours fraternaliy,

complied with the above resolution
and he doubtless would if every south
ern state had demanded il through
their legislatures, and congress had
passed law forbidding the sale and
shipment of munitions of war to Eng
land, or any of her dependent prov
inces, so long as she maintained her
embargo on cotton as contraband of
war Everybody knows that England
would have yielded at once, and she
must have guns and munitions if she
is to succeed in this war. Everybody
knows that this is a war for com
mercial supremacy; in other words,
it is a dollar war. and II America is
going to aid any of the belligerents
by selling them guns and ammunition,
certainly think the producers Of
America should have the advantage
of the markets of the world with all
OF their products, but such is not the
case, and the farmer as usual is the
man to be Disseminated against, even
to placing our raw material on the
free list, while the finished products
of our raw products have been pro
tected Every appeal the southern
farmer has made lor help during this
crisis, brought on by the European
war. has been treated with silent con-
tempt and beared into the corner Of
no help for the farmer, but cheap
money by the billions for the banks
and foreign nations.

has gone back to iute wrapping twine.
So much for the consumption of cot
ton in this country. We have got to
knock out contraband deere sand give
cotton iree access to all the countri9s
of the world, and using in our own
country iute twine, leaves our own
cotton behind. How are we going TO
promote a greater consumption of
cotton.
Mrs. William Bacon of Greenyille,
Texas, is right now planning an ad-
vertising scheme for greater use
of cotton by selecting fifty pretty
Texas girls, and they are the most
beautiful in the world, and dress
them up in all-cotton dresses, and
have them in attendance at the Dallas
fair for the purpose OF demonstrating
that cotton materials can be used for
any advantage, for all classes o:
clothing. Mrs. Bacon deserves great
credit for her activity and unswerv-
ing devotion to the interests of the
cotton producers of the south in try
ing to bring about greater use o.
cotton goods.
Mrs. Bacon, the president OF the
Farmers Union of Texas, takes off his
hat to you, and tenders you the
thanks of the farmers Of Texas for
your loyal and untiring efforts in Their
behalf.

Increase Your Acreade.

The United States Department
Of Agriculture, the state boards
and the experts all over the
country are urging the farmers
Of America to cultivate every
available acre during the coming
year. The war in Europe as
sures the sale Of almost every
thing that can be raised. Every
srticle that is exported to feed
the soldiers and the citizens and
the stock Of Europe means just
that much less for home con-
sumption, therefore, even with
big crops of everything, the prices
will be high. fit is not a good
crop year the farmer will at
Feast raise enough for home use
and will not have to pay the high
prices that will prevail. Utilize
every available acre for grain,
D'asses and vegetables. In many
sections'farnsrs are urged to try
adouble acreage Of potatoes. It
should not be necessary, under
proper conditions, to import pota-
toes into any Agricultural cm,ntv

Getting In Jail.

II things keep on as they have
been going for the past few years,
it will be much easier for an
American citizen to go to jail and
stay there than it will be to keep
cut Of jail. Every now and then
some individual or some clique
hobs up with a brand new plan
Tor turning some Of US into GRIM
mails. The number Of new ways
for getting a man into jailis sur
prising. Wisconsin has its Ecu
genics law" which makes it a
felony for a couple to marry with
cut undergoing a physical exam
ination. The Illinois legislature.
atits present session, will gravely
consider the passage of a similar
criminal statute. Other states
are being asked to pass laws
making it a felony for a citizen
to have any liquor in his home,
even for medicinal purposes. One
state has a law against dancing
the tango. The Indiana anti
cigarette law never has been re-
pealed, and the state has, as
result, several hundred thousand
perfectly good citizens who could
be arrested and sent to Jail any
day. Perhaps the most striking
development of our government
is that the laws are not made by
all the people nor by representa-
tives of the people, but by small
eliques, highly organized and
tremendously energized over
particular questions. These
cliques are determined to force
their views upon the whole people
while at the same time other
eliques are forcing views on other
questions upon them. The ques-
tion is never asked whether the
supposed offenses against Che
community are as bad as the
penalties inflicted. There seems
to be in the air a mania to find
new ways Of imprisoning. Amer
lean citizens, and yet. is, there
anything that can be as bad. for
the individual or the nation an 81
man in Jail who can possibly be
kept out?
