card in his pocket is proud Of hav,
ing it, and will not hesitate to pre-
sent it when called upon by the police
There need be no surprise at being
asked for your card several times
a day, for the fact that one Officer
has seen the registrant's card is No
indication that all know he is properly
registered. So, when called on fol
your card, no matter how frequently
this demand may be made, hand il
out cheerfully, and help the officers
to find the men for whom they are
searching--the slackers. They do not
want you if you have your creden-
tails; they simply want to know who
has such credentials.
The slacker's day Of grace is near
ing its end. He will have to do SER
vice for his country, as well as being
singled out as a man willing to dodge
his duty when other young men are
freely offering their lives in the cause.
Major Smith is determined that no
Stacker shall escape, and officers Of
the law are equally determined to
round up such people.
Bear in mind that loss of card
can be easily remedied by securing
a statement from your board.

selfish and unpatriotic efforts. I'm

i the banks, and it is they who viii
receive any financial aid that may
be Forthcoming.
What Of the small producer? HI
will not be able to hedge, but must
sell willy nilly, at whatever the mar.
ket, for farm loan banks do not lend
money on crops.
II the price is low enough, and i
will be-for cost Of production plays
no part when there exists "a burden
some surplus, and no poss ility 81
disposing Gf same before Nnother
crop is we'll on its way to add adj
diti0nal millions to this burden
next summer will probably see prices
as low as in 1914, when the war broke
out and panic reigned. Then will be
the opportunity for the assisted rich,
who has sold futures in prospect1,
against his holdings Though it has
never been explained how selling and
holding are the same), to invest his
profits in the cotton that some poor
fools borrowed money on to carry
for a 15-cent decline.
It is argued that the seed is a food
product Of great value, the oil for
man and the meal for cattle, which
is quite true. 1t has also been shown
in some cases the return from the
seed alone has been sufficient to re-
compense producers for their labors;
this being SO, producers need no as-
sistance to hold the lint for excess
profits, but can dispose Of same as
a by-product, increasing their reward.
The commercial world and the
country at large now knows that the
prospective cotton supply between
now and August /, 1919, is 21,OO0,-
900 bales; they also know that addi-
tional millions Of bales will be grow
ing at that date.
Spinners and bankers will know
the utter folly of attempting to hold
cotton under these conditions, and
that millions Of bales Of this crop
must be sold as they come to market
within the next few weeks, also that
they would assume criminal liabil-
ity were they to assume the un-
asked and simmovable burden that
would gladly be shifted upon them by
a profiteering faction.
Making the penalty fit the crime
IS the only cure for wilful disobedi
ence to governmental requests, and
if the nation has to take over this
cotton burden it viii see to it that
the burden we nationally carry is
nearer five cents per pound than rs
cents, and the guilty in this way re-
ceive the reward that is surely COM
ing to them. J. G. DUNCAN.

THE ovERPRoDUcTIoN MENACE

New Orleans, July 4, 1918.
To The Commercial Appeal:
The bureau report on cotton ha;
demonstrated that we have class Of
citizens who, from purely selfish mo:
tives, are attempting to arrogate
to themselves the capital and labor
of this country.
They have disregarded the express
wishes of this government and the
food administrator, and also the par
amount duty devolving upon them
and this country to feed the millions
Of our sons and those Of our allies
who unselfishly are making the SUI
preme sacrifice, so that democracy
and individual liberty may live.
Urged to decrease acreage in cot
ton, and to vastly increase food acre.
age, they responded by planting q
record acreage of cotton, while pre-
tending to have scarcity Of labor;
knowing that cotton requires in its
production more human labor than
any other staple crop.
If they have the labor to gather
the promised 1S.500,0O0 bales, then
their labor scarcity plea is a pretense
and sham.
If they have not the labor, then
they purpose to sacrifice industries,
vital to the winning Of the war by
taking labor from these fields Of
effort and slack national endeavor for
their individual profit.
Economically they would do us a
national injury. The nation has and
is most literally subscribing, and "un-
til it has hurt, ? to Liberty loans, Red
Cross, W. S. s., and every call made
upon it, and more Of these calls may
be expected in the near future, and
yet these Individual profiteers would
ask that funds be diverted from their
righteous use to their individual prof
lie and the national dishonor.
Today, contrary to government
commands, large planters are buying
grain to feed all cotton production;
these are the rich. who need no as
sistance, and who can carry the SUR
plus which is to result from their
