in the United States made another
record gain during the past week when
stocks increased i2,067 900 bushels.
bringing the total to 1881 900. com
pared with 6,856,000 a year ago. The
has been on such vast
scale that the food administration has
adopted the permit system. which
makes it possible to check undue ship
ments to any point when conditions
seem to demand such action. Chicago
re ported yesterday that no further per
M IS will be issued for shipment to that
point for a limited period, but advices
from Washington said that the food ad-
had announced that the
embargo will soon be lifted. 1t also
stated that it is the policy of the gov

Cotton

Inc announcement of the appoint
ment Of tho two committees by the
War Industries Board created much
more cheerful and optimistic feeling in
the cotton market at The opening yes
terday. The first resolutions passed by
the committee Of inquiry expressing an
opinion that the operations Of the com
mittee on government purchases and
distribution would tend to stabilize the
market were evidently taken by local
traders as indicating that no decision
or action on price fixing would be form
ulated until the effect of these meas
ures had been determined. The result
was an advance which carried prices
back to about the level ruling last Fri
day morning, and there was active Gov
ering by sellers of late last week. De-
mand subsidized around 32.31 for Decem-
Der, however, and the market was weak
later in the day under liquidation and
hedge selling That delivery closed at
12O and the general list closed easy
at net decline of 80 to 40 points OC-
tober was relatively weak, owing to
liquidation in advance of possible no
tices to- day, although the belief is that
COlnD6IdllNctS
dered
The chief topic of discussion during
the day was the action of the War IN
dustries Board and the probable effect
OF the control Of distribution or the
concentration of buying for the govern
ment and its allies in the hands of
committee. The personnel Of the com
mittees attracted generally favorable
comment in the trade, and the ruling
opinion appeared TO be that any action
would be carefully and thoroughly con-
sidercd. As yet, however, the plans of
the committee Of distribution have not
been definitely outlined, if they have
indeed. been formulated, and until
more is known of the probable proceed
ure there will be various causes for un
certainty. There We're reports yester-
day, for instance, that manufacturers
were confused over the prospects for
distribution and allotments and had
practically withdrawn from the market
The operations of the committee, how
ever, are expected to keep cotton NOV
ing pending the results Of the investi-
cation.
The opening was irregular at de-
cline OF Ii to en- advance of Ia points,
and sold 50 to II points net higher
right after the call on covering and
trade buying. Demand then slackened.
and the afternoon break carried the ac-
tive months 33 to 40 points net lower.
with the close at practically the low
point of the day There were rumors
late in the afternoon that prices for
cotton goods under consideration in
Washington would again be fixed on
the basis of 80 cents for raw cotton, but
the break was generally attributed to
the appearance of increased hedge SELL
ing. Southern spot markets as oific ally
reported were 30 points lower to IS
points higher.

Workers in Army is One Sug-

President Wilson has before him
IA memorial presented by sixteen ma
tional farm organizations urging APP
pointment Of an advisory committee
OF nine farmers to aid the Govern
ment in framing more definite
measures to speed up agricultural
production.
In response to call of the FEEDER
al Board of Farm Organizations
representatives of various agricul-
tural organizations met in Washing
ton on February 6, and 8, and as
result of their conferences presented
the memorial to the President.
Cecil county was represented by J..
H. Kimble, president of the Farmers
National Congress; Elwood Balder-
ston, of the Cecil Farmers Club; E..
Nelson James, Of Rising Sun Milk
Producers Association; A. M. SPOTS
and Charles Morris, Of the Ninth
District Farmers Club.
The Federal Board called together
the farm leaders of the United States
to meet in Washington for counsel
with each other as to the best means
Of protecting our country from the
danger of decreased farm produc-
ton, owing to the scarcity Of eff
cient help.
The memorial, given the President
) by delegation Of representatives OF
the organizations, which called at
the White House asked also for the
furloughing of trained farm workers
now in the army if the Government
considered their service more useful
in agricultural production. They
also requested farm laborers be
kept. from class One Of the Selective
Service; provision be made for fur
nishing farmers with seed, fertilizer
and short time loans ser crop pro-
duction and finally If policy of
price control be adopted it be applied
to what the farmer buys as well as
what he sells.
In reply the President said:
81 cannot, of course, off-hand
answer so important a memorial as
this, and I need not tell you that it
will receive my most careful, re-
spectful attention.
MANY Of the questions that are
raised here have been matters of
very deep and constant concern with
us for months past, and believe
that many Of them are approaching
as successful a solution as we can
work out for them, but just what
those steps are I cannot now detail
to you. You are probably familiar
with some Of them.
81 want to say that l fully recogS
nize that you gentlemen do not mean
that your utmost effort will be de-
pendent upon the acceptance of
these suggestions, / know you are
going to do your. level best in any

TUBERCULOSIS FIGHTERS
JOIN WITH RED CROSS

Fifteen hundred anti-tuberculosis
associations in every state in the Un-
ion have set aside their ordinary work
and are giving their time and atten-
ton during the next month to the Red
Cross Christmas Roll Call, according
to an announcement from the head
quarters of the National tuberculosis
Association
Instead of the usual sale Of Red

for the last ten years Jointly by the
National Tuberculosis Association and
the American Red Cross, this coming
year the tuberculosis movement will
be supported by direct appropriation
of $2,5OO,OOO from the Red Cross, and
in turn all of the machinery of the tu-
berculOss campaign will be turned
into helping swell the membership OF
the American Red Cross In an effort
to enroll every man and woman in the
country.
In every state there is a we'll organ
lied state organization, and under 1t
there are strong local branches. These
trained workers will cooperate with
the Red Cross chapters in their COM
munity and will endeavOr to organize
their districts so that no one can es-
cape solicitation. Universal member
ship in the Red Cross will be the aim.
