A BOna.Fide Subscri ption List.

The manager of the Era
Leader has always appreciated
the subscribers to the paper. 1t
has been list, on the whole, of
interested will wishers and sym
pathisers, most of whom have
realized that it is easier to read
a paper than it is to make one;
many of whom have cheerfully
helped to make it better and
have indulgently overlooked its
shortcomings when it was worse.
The hold the paper has upon
the people has been shown thru
the past fortnight by the crafty
ing eumber who have paid up
subscriptions into 1919 as the
government has recently deman
ded. We are glad of every one
retained and hope to make your
paper more worth while to you
from week to- week to those who
have still been negligent and
failed to pay up. we will say we
have hated to strike off a single
subscriber, but if you fail to get
next weeks paper you will un-
derstand that it is impossible
for US to send out a free copy
now, and with the issue of Sept.
ember 26th there will not be one
of that kind on the list,t editor
having to make signed affidavit
to that effect for u ncle Sam.
And now those W ho, for any
reason whatsoever, want to dis.
continue the subscription, we will
ask that you be honest and pay
up all you are due to date, leav-
ing a clean page to your credit.
Your attention to this is the
merest act of justice, for your
printer is no more able to pay
for the paper you read than your
merchant is to furnish your
shoes, both cost enormously now.
A fully paid up subscription
list is an interesting sight to any
newspaper and we hope to show
you a big one next week.

What Advertising Did
For Hawaiian Pineapples.

San Francisco.-An output of
$4,000 few years ago expended
Honolulu's pineapple canning in.

than $4,000 yearly to an ever
increasing sum, which this season
will return over S8, 100000, accord.
ing to Rayman Sharp, special
deputy collector of customs of
Hawaii, who was in San Francisco
recently.
Pineapple exports are now Sc.
cond in Hawaii industries.
The United States government
has contracted for one.half of the
output and more than 48,000,0O0
tons will comprise the years pro.
duction. All this resulted said
Mr.. Sharp, from one years adv.
ertising.

make the following recommends


tions, towit:
We would suggest that a citi-
zens' cooperative committee of
not more than three be appointed
to assist the Police Jury in every
way possible in the laying out,
and in the construction and main
tenance of good roads. That this
committee be all the assistance to
the Police Jury possible, in the
issuing and sale of bonds for road
purposes at the proper time. We
suggest the names Of j. K. john
son. Bogalusa, La, and Mr.. Dud-
ley McCreary, Franklinton, La,
and Mr.. Willie J. Afford, Mt.
Hermon, La, to serve on this
Committee.
In reference to the issuance of
bonds, we would suggest that be-
fore any good roads bonds be
placed on the market that the
Police Jury communicate with the
war department at Washington,
D. c., through its Capital Issues
Committee to ascertain if the
Government would have any OBJ.
jections to offer against the sale
of such bonds during the period
of the war, and that they be gov
erned according to such advice.

President Plans Cotton Market
For Lower Grades.


investigate the cotton situation
will recommend basic prices for
the various standard grades
Of raw cotton only it its inquiry
convinces it that price-fixing is
necessary.
The primary purposes of the
inquiry, the President said are
to broaden the channels of dis
tribution for low-erade cotton,
which is now practically unmark-
etable, to eliminate boarding and
to apportion the supply among
the Allied nations.
The demand for higher grade
cotton, which is out of proportion
to the available supply, and the
fact that the government, through
early agreements with the Allies
purchasers, makes it necessary to
secure some basis of distribution
of all grades of cotton. Based on
the standard grades establishd by
the Department Of Agriculture,
an effort will be made to provide
a way by which the low-grade
cotton will he brought to sale
and use along with the high grade
cotton at reasonable and just
prices.
cit is belivad that by this course
both the producer and consumers
will be better protected than by
continuation Of the present chao-
tic conditions of the market.
The plan is to create, subject to
the approval of the President, a
cotton committee to devise meth.
DDS for (a) broadening the chan.
nels Of distribution and use of
the great stock of low grades now
practically unmarketa BILE, (b) ell
minating speculation and hoard
ing, and (c) apportioning the for
eign orders.
''It may he part of this commit;
tees duty to recommend basic
prices on cotton. If, after investi-
cation, it is found necessary, a
fair price will be fixed.
Price fixing of cotton has been
vigorously opposed by senators
from Southern states, who have
had several conferences with
Chairman Branch, of the board.
They contend that the law of sup.
ply and demand should continue
to govern the price.
Decision of the President and
the War Industries Board to in.
vestigate the cotton situation fol-
lowed closelythe recent announce
ment Of the Department of Agri-
culture that druuths over the belt
in July and August lad reduced
the probable yield from the esti-
mate Of about Is, 1929, 900 bales to
II, 1877, 900 bales. After this fore
cast was published, the price of
cotton rose more than $40 a bale
on the principal exchanges.
New Orleans, La, Sept. IA
The most spectacular drop in
cotton prices ever witnessed in
the market here came today as
the result of the statement by
President Wilson that the price
of cotton would be fixed, if found
necessary.
At the opening of the trading
there was a wild scramble to sell
and within the first eight minutes
the October contract price was
depressed S11.50 a bale. During
the second hour the excitement
