COTTON AT LESS.
THAN 40 CENTS.
CALLED ROBBERY

ATLANTA, Dec. 17.-COmmissiOner
os Agriculture j. J. Brown, as presi-
dent of the Cotton States Marketing
Board, is necessarily devoting great
deal of his time at present to the cot,
ton holding movement which is pro-
ceeding with marked success, accord
ing to reports from all sections of the
cotton belt
IN pursuance of this duty for which
the board has called on him, he is mall
ing occasional speeches at cotton raj
lies in various sections of the state.
In q largely attended and enthusiastic
cotton rally at Greenville, Ca Com
missioner Brown, after commencing
the patriotic stand of the farmers dur
ing the war, made the following sig
nificant statement with reference 10
Lresent conditions in the cotton world;
1T was a pleasure for the produc-
ers of cotton to respond to any call
and adhere to any ruling that would
help win the war. But now that the,
war is over, it is not only our right
and privilege, but OR duty to the cot
ton states. to see to it that in the re-
construction that is taking place, our
secion along with all others. shall
oh 1,Yfo
marketing of our farm products. 1t
should be controlled only by the strict
law of supply and demand, giving to
all who are engaged in legitimate lines
a fair margin of profit above the cost
ot production.
If our cotton exchanges cannot so
Landle their business as to give JUS
Jjce to all, then let us abolish them
as we have abolished autocracy, and
rebuild and reconstruct spot exr
changes to be used exclusively for lei
gitimate transactions.
'At the prices of manufactured prod
ucts today, with the shelves of Ed
rope almost bare of cotton fabrics,
with the mills practically destitute Of
raw cotton, and with no legitimate
surplus of cotton, but on the other
rand cotton famine staring the world
in the face, it is nothing short of rob,
Eery for the South to be forced to sell
the 1918 cotton crop for less than 40I
I? 60 cents pound"
: in line with the cotton holding
movement which is being strongly
pushed all over Georgia, and which
has been entered into with almost
universal accord, the State Bureau OF
Markets is strongly urging food pro-
duction on the farms of the state. In
the weekly bulletin of the Bureau OF
Markets the following interesting su3-
ges'ion is offered:
I'VE need no longer say Raise food |
I nc win the war. The war has been
wr'n, but we must feed the world for |
another year. and perhaps two We
have every assurance of fair prices
1oT all food crops. Cut your cotton
acre age and increase food production |
There is no surer way of stabilizing
the price of cotton. This is an oppor
tUnjty which rarely presents itself The
cotton farmer strengthens the cotton
market by diversifying, rests his land
and will get good prices for fool
crops

Charles o. Tichenor of Co. K, 64th

The letter was dated somewhere in
France, November IS, week after
the cessation of the firing. The
Keokuk soldiers regiment is one Of
the old regular army, presumably in
the famous first division, and he saw
plenty of hard fighting in the front
lines of the American army. When
he wrote, he was in French village

Martin first telephoned Mr.. Phil
lips at Kansas City of the occurrence,
when he found the forced window and
other evidence OF the house having
been entered. Then he notified the
police.
Officer Wilson went to the Phillips
home and saw plenty of signs of the
burglar, but also saw plenty Of good
loot lying untouched in plain sight
There was a purse with little
money, some rings, an elegant brace
let and other costly ornaments in
sight on dressers and elsewhere in
different rooms of the house-and il
was still all there.
1t is evident to the police that the
burglar was not trying to steal
money or jewelry, and just what he
was trying to get is a mystery. The
absence of Mr.. Phillips made it i'm
possible today to get any sugges-
tons from him as to the motive for
the housekeeping, but he is expected
home tomorrow.

The burglary Of the home Of E. S.

Nobody was at home, and last night

caretaker, discovered the burglary
when ne arrived there this morning.
a woman housekeeper spent the

The lock of window on a back
