The Cotton States Marketing Board does

geSted that each county select a chairman
and secretary, and appoint a committee
for each militia district which will go
actively TO work and see to it that 10 cotton
is sold for less than So cents point, basis
middling.
SHOW the spinncrs OF Europe that you
are not going TO sell your cotton Tor Tess

urges President Brown, and hc continues:
This same work of organization is go
ing On M over the belt and this office is
securing the names Of the district com
mittees that your county organization APP
points, i'm order that we can correspond

matter IN which we must all take a finn
stand. Your c0unty's action will strength
en- and encourage Others TO act"
Similar work in the matter OF county
org inization has been SGT on foot in all or

Charges Effort to
Discredit Building
OF Wooden Ships

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.--In
statement advocating continuous con
struction OF wooden ships, Senator
Fletcher, of Florida, chairman OF
the senate commerce committee,
charges that there is a steady ef-
fort and propaganda to discredit the
wooden type.
Reciting the record of wooden
ships built under the jurisdiction of
the shipping board, Senator Fletcher
said SCI wooden vessels were launch
ed up to November 20. of which SO
have been completed and &c are IN
service In addition, he said, WorIA
has commenced on 1913, ana contracts
We're let but were not started on III.
OF the latter. the shipping board has
cancelled IS contracts ana authorized
the cancellation of 100 more.
This has been DONE" said Sena-
tor Fletcher, because It is found
that the board viii have more Of
those ships than it can economically
utilize, particularly when il takes
into consideration the 400 steel ships
built on the Great Lakes.
NO doubt, too. the board is n
fluenced by the propaganda against
the wooden ships ana the many false
reports put into circuiat on concern
ing them, and influencing the public
mind to conclude that they are un-
seaworthy and almost worthless.
Some of the widest. most absurd
rumors have been put into circula-
ton about them"
only three of the government
wooden ships have been lost, Senator
Fletcher statcd-the Coos. the Black
ford and the Dumaru. The wooden
steamers, senator Fletcher asserted.
have been operated successfully over
seas and coaStwise.
Whether they have been operated
economically and making q good
business sh owing" he added, II have
not complete data to prove. What |
complain of is the efforts to stihe or
destroy an important industry in this
country when there is no reason or
sense in such 6. course. In my judg-
nient we should build wooden ton
mage for American and for foreign
account and remove all unnecessary
restrictions upon operation
