COTTON WILL BE
CHEAP AT As cts

Cotton will be cheap at 45 cents a
,ound by July, is the confident as
surance given by Norman H. John
son, secretary of the Southern Whole
sale Dry Goods Association, and Sec
retary of the price-fxing committee
of the War Industry Board, Monday.
Mr.. Johnson, whose duties are to
gather statistics on the business con-
ditions of the South, states, that
prices on merchandise and staples for
the spring season will show no
change, and that no noticeable de-
crease will be experienced in 1919,
but after this period is passed the
market will decline. When it does,
says, the decline will be far more
gradual than the ascension.
'I am not venturing my statement
about cotton on hearsay or unsup-
ported facts" said Mr.. Norman, "but
from hard statistics gathered during
my inside investigation of the whole
merchandise and cotton situation.
There is no cotton overseas and the
countries at war have been devas-
tated of cotton, and there is no way
to keep the market from rising. Il
"Merchandise is scarce and our
production will be decreased for the
next three months, making it still
more scarce. The Government has
bought more merchandise than all
combined interests in America. The
influenza situation and the lull fol-
lowing our mental depression have
slackened production.
"The coming year will be good for
business, and while business will not
bring as much money as during the
war it will be better than any other
year in the history Of our country
prior to the war. There is no rea-
son at all for any depression, and
next year should be prosperous"

deaths resulted from their wounds.
Lieutenant Wilkinson has distin-
guished himself several times during
recent fighting at the front but has
said nothing about this to his people
but they learned from letters from
other Abbeville boys of his brave ac-
ton in battle on different occasions.
Charlie Armour, an Abbeville boy,
writing to relatives in Abbeville,
tells of one occasion where Lieuten-
ant Wilkinson in a rain of machine
gun bullets went to the aid Of four
wounded boys and carried them back
to safety after having placed himself
in untold danger.

er, Julian Wilkinson, who q few
years ago distinguished himself by
rescuing Miss Mary Perrin from
drowning in the Savannah River. Fol-
this heroic action he was given a
Carnegie medal.
/ Lieutenant Wilkinson was with
the American forces on the Mexican
border. Later when the United States
declared war on Germany he reen-
tered the service and soon worked
his way up from private to a first
lieutenant. He comes from line OF
fighting ancestors, both grandfathers
being Confederate veterans. He is

HERE'S A Plan To
CUT LIVING COST
Farmers Are to Form Food
Collecting Depots in
School Houses
OLD ARMY TRUCKS
TO CARRY SUPPLIES
ny Il C. RODGERS.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. iO.-here
is one solution for the high cost VI
living problem. =,
IL Is a double-barreled anai.. 4,
markets the farmers produce al soou
prices and meets the consumers heeus
at saving prices. ,,o
Take a sample. II begins IN Two
Taverns, Pa, and ends In Park sleH
schoolhouse here in Washington. lnls .a
IS the Inauguration OF q conliluni,s
shipping and buying program whloh -
planned to be extended all over tne
United States. ~
The farmers near Two Tayerns, 81
miles from Washington, have formed
a selling organization called the MI
Joy Community Association. They
chose A. Nevln Sponsellor community
secretary. The postoffice department
has made him postal agent and the TWO
Taverns sohoolhouse has been maoe
the community postoffice.
During the day, the teacher handles
The communitys business. Sponsellor
goes around among the farmers and
takes charge between school hours
The children bring vegetables, butter,
eggs, poultry with them when they go
10 school. Their parents haul wagon
loads OF food 10 the schoolhouse.
SpOnsellor attends 10 the posting and
mailing, parcel post.
Then the ex-army postal motor trucks
appear.
The communlty's products are loaded
lu them and the tripNto the other end
OF the solution Is started.
In few hours, the trucks, appear at
the Park View school house, In Wash
ington.
The Park View community elected
heir own agent, ]. G. McGrath, who
was afterward made postmaster In the
school house pOstofflce. He gets q sal
6ry for his time and work.
Park View housewives tell their chill
dren 10 bring home what they need.
That saves delivery costs. On Saturdays,
the big marketing day, children and their
parents bring family market baskets
10 the school house.
Two Taverns. a food-producius cen
Ter, sells by the community plan: Park
View, a fOOd-consumlng center, buys
by the community plan. This makes for
less cost OF distribution, less waste AMI

price than under the old system, and,
at the same time, pays higher prices
TO- the producers.
The United States postofilce depart
partment has organized TO operate four
motor trucks out OF Washington. These
are the first two school houses TO be
used as postofilces, and the first Of the
10000 army trucks which will be used
on these motor truck routes Is now
running between them.
found that fresh eggs sold al PARK
View school house for 63 cents a dozen
when they were selling In Washington
stores at So, and that Park View folk.
were paying from 10 to 40 per cent.
less on vegetables. poultry, butter than
other Washington families.
And at the same time Two Taverns
farmers told me that they were getting
more money for their produce than
they got by selling 10 individual buyers,
hucksters or commission men.
Edward J.. Ward, government special
ist In community organization, who
started the school house postoflce COM
munlty buying and selling movement
is convinced that within a few years
there will be hundreds Of thousands OF

such community centers In this coun
try. He Is cooperating with Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Blakesley
to widen the field OF the motor truck
cute as fast as community selling and
buying centers may be established.
"The thing to do" Ward said. us for
The people OF any community TO get TO-
gether In the school house, elect an
agent, and arrange with the echool
authorities TO use the building for a
msket center. Then they should COM
rfunlcate with the postofilce depart
ment. This applies both TO the city
consumers centers and the producers
centers."
II is planned 10 start the middle west
motor truck route system out Of In
dianspolIs and from there run farther
and farther until the whole country Is
a network OF them.
