3. Each member OF tbe Co+tor
States official Advisory Narketina
Board is to work comparatively WIFI
every other member in the several
states IN completing such organiza-
ton as IS here outlined, and every
available agency at the command Of
the several members acting in their
ottlcial capacity shall be used in com
pletlng the organization and in tte
execution of the plans adopted.
Z. 1t is the fixed and announced
policy to require by organization AMI
cooperation among the producers. me-
chants and bankers. that the distress
ed or surplus cotton of the 191S-I9
crop, shall be carried by each local
community, and that the great bulk of
1t shall be carried by the producers,
until such time as available shipping
facilities and improved market cond:.
tlons will provide an outlet for such
surplus as may be produced. at prices
IN excess of the cost of production.
s. The plan herein formulated is
intended to govern the intelligent
movement and marketing of one of
the worlds great staple crops in a
gradual way, in such manner as to
respond to the demands of the trade,
and to prevent congestion of traffic
ct points of concentration, and to dis
tribute the carrying burden of the
surplus crop among the producers,
!; who under normal economic conditions
are most able to carry it.
il 9. We commend this plan to the
, country as one that will more nearly
equalize the responsibilities of caring
: for and conserving any surplus pro-
duction of cotton until such time as
it is needed for consumption, and
: transportation can move it, and as a
| plan that will not overburden the fi-
nancial institutions with unnecessary
e responsibilities in time of war.
: 10. We earnestly beeseech the CO.
e operation and help of all producers

growing area in our organized effort.

S involve no great hardship or extraor

which export traffic is confronted a

POSSIBLE TO LOSE THE WAR OVER HERE
As the StayatHome Army Thinks and Feels So Does the
Army at tho Front The War Must First be Wop
Over Here

Did you know that the war could be
lost over here as easily, or more so,
as over there? While the actual fight.
Ing takes place on the fields of France,
most of that which goes into the
fight, to win or lose it, takes place
over here.
There are hundreds of ways in
which America can lose out in win
ming the war and 80 per cent of these
are dependent upon those who stay
at home. The stay-at-home army
largely determines whether the army
at the front loses or wins In the
trst place, the soldiers over there
must have supplies and must have
these in sufficient quantity and quail
1ty to make them the most efficient
fighting men possible. They must
have clothing of the proper texture
summer and winter to protect them
and yet not cucumber them They
must have mental and moral recrea-
ton, but above all else, they must
nave that courage Of the soul, known
as morale, that comes from the peo.
pie at home.
As the army feels over here, so II
feels over there As strong as grows
Its determination to win over here, SC
determined are they to win owe,
there. Whatever is done, said O,
felt over here has its effect ovel
there. Therofer, It behooves every
American citizen, American soldier
that he himself is, as ready to NAL
sacrifices as to expect it Of them, anl
that he himself is, as ready to max.
OF the Government as they who CAV,
| up their homes and loved ones ant
offered themselves to their country
cause.
Probably the greatest call that ha
come to the people of this country
to save and serve. Every individsa
has been called on to practice ecor
omy and refrain from spending none
for things not essential to health an
efficiency, not emily thst the Covers
ment may have all surplus money t
finance tho war but that labor sngai
cd in the making OF these things ma
be released for making material neet
ed to win the war. The person VII
) does without, who saves his none
: where he used to spend it, who make
? personal sacrifices for his country
sake, is indeed today the real, tru
, patriot. He is rendering q service

PRAYER IN RELATION

DR.. Bowie breaches Striking Sermon
on "Silcnt, Quiet. Inconspicuous

by the rector. Rev. w. Russell Bowie

an audience of men and women to
whom the war had brought home the
truths TO which Or. Bowie gave ut
terance--a new sense OF the need OF
God. and the Silent, quiet, inconspic-
uous ministry OF prayer
DR.. Bowie declared that the pcoplc
OF America were apprchcnding as
never before the need OF PRAYER; that
in the confusion OF the times they were
reaching out for God, and finding God
as never before. He spoke of prayer
as an individual and human need. and
the mighty fact OF having at this time
tho sense of background OF some
thing miShticr than oneself.
Prayer gives very definite things. de-
clared DR.. Bowie. 1t gives comfort
light, the strength Of inspiration, and
brings sense of the power of God
into the hearts of people who have not
hitherto definitely sought God. In this
high hour of the destiny OF the world,
