dealers who are willing to give the
farmers helping hand in this time
of need the county agents have specia!

ing. The campaign may soon be
over and you can't get it at this price
See or write your county agent now!

bearing than any set of Germans in
all Europe.

BIG DEMAND FOR COTTON.
Says w. b. Cooper of Wilmington in
Talk With London Newspaper
Man.

The following interview with w
b. Cooper, brother of John P. Coop
er of Mullins and prominent Will
mington business man who has been
making tour of Europe studying
business conditions Oh the continent,
by the London correspondent of the
New York World will be of interest
to many readers of The Herald:
eff Europe could provide suffi-
cient credits for the cotton needed
there is every probability the staple
would reach fifty cents cents per
pound" Senator w. B. Cooper told
the London correspondent of the New
York World upon his arrival in that
city from his continental trip. The
World correspondent has the follow
ing to say as result of his talk
with Cooper and other Americans who
have been on the continent for sew
eral weeks.
American cotton men who have
been in Germany and have just re-
turned to London, en- route home,
told The World correspondent today
that in Bremen and Hamburg Ger
man business men are straining to
the utmost to arrange credits for
American cotton.
Six Bremen business men were able
to provide $5,00O,000 credit for cot
ton, 100000 bales of which will
soon be shipped. 1t is thought they
mortgaged their spinning works to

These Americans returned from
Germany with the conviction that
the majority of the people are &C.
termined once more to place the
Fatherland on its feet. AS compared
with labor troubles in the Allied
countries, resulting in a reduced out
put it is stated that German work
ers in Bremen and Hamberg are will
ing to work nine and ten hours daily
to give once more their country a
chance to regain her position among
the world nations. The first cargo
of American cotton was unloading at
Hamburg when these cotton men
were there. 1t represented s2,50O,-

knowing that cotton will not be
obtainable until reliable credits are
found, German financiers are form
ing groups to obtain it. Potash,
which is needed by cotton growers in
the Carolinas and some other states,
will be exported in exchange
for cotton. German manufacturers al
so are reported as not losing a min
ute's time in getting representatives
started out for a world trade.
"The American cotton men met
of them en- route to neutral
and allied countries to sell at low
cost whatever goods they could find
a market for, and hoping that Amer
ica would be one of their best GUS
toners.
"W. B. Cooper, one cotton export
er who has just reached London from
a continental trip, said to The World
" If Europe could provide suffi-

cient credits for the cotton needed,
there is every probability that cotton
would reach fifty cents pound. Eu-
rope wants more cotton than We can
supply. 1 have Travelled from Italy to
Holland and it is the same tale ev-
erywhere. They want cotton.
1T will be impossible to fill our
own demands and meet anything like
the European demand
Cooper and other cotton men re-
port that Dutch interests are buy
ing American cotton and reselling 1t
to Germany at higher rates. Being
close at hand they are enabled to keep
closer supervision upon goods eX-
ported into Germany and arrange for
collection"

sus will be allowed by the census bu-
reau, Robert Z. Mattingly, director of
the census for the District of Columbia,

ed, it was explained at the bureau, be-
cause of the need for competent emu

increases. will raise the rate of pay for
the S67 enumerators in the District as
well as those over the country to 4
cents per name. The old rate was 215

the two weeks period in which the CEN
sus will be taken here, beginning Jan
uary 2. 1920. Where names are taken
in an institution the 3-cent rate will
apply.
A new rate of 80 cents per farm for

its elimination.
They Mean Business
The challenge given by the anti
liquor forces of 40 nations is no half
hearted affair. These people mean
business. Further than that, they
have behind them the long and ardu-
Gus but successful contest in the Unit
ed States, and beyond that the similarly
arduous contest i'm the prohibition
states. These contests have been a lib
cral education in methods and poll
cies; they have taught the anti-liquor
forces many things about the liquor
interest and the popular habits of
thought with respect to liquor that
will be highly useful in dealing with
the problem in older and more conserv-
ative countries than the United States
These successes have given confidence
and courage. And although no one
can measure their effect as a popular
object lesson, it can hardly be doubted
that they have alrsady had q weighty

Ardmore might consent to be candidate for
that high honor. Now the howl is started. The
brethren of the press simply can't conceal their
jealousy of the predominant prominence of the
city Of Ardmore. Listen:
"The Ardmoreite suggests that the nation
al capital be moved to their town. Har! Har!
Har!
That, beloved, is the orse-laugh of Mar
vim Brown, editor of the Ada Evening News.
Imagine, if that be possible, national capital
named Ada! Imagine Ada, d. c., as the most
important date-line in the worlds press! Haw!
Haw! Haw!
Now listen again: "Well Ardmore might
make good capital but we expect if they de-
eide to move the national capital to Oklahoma,
Ardmore would have lots of competition"
That, ladies and gentlemen, is sly bid
from the Lawton Constitution for the city of
Lawton as the capital of the United States of
America! We are for Lawton as the national
capital if the Lawton Constitution can induce
its non-esteemed contemporary, the Lawton
News, to consent to draw straws to determine
whether Scott Ferris or Tom Gore shall be
president of the United States.

Influence in preparing people of other
countries to accept the modern idea
that intoxicating drink is an insiduous
enemy and as such should no longer
be countenanced by civilization.
1t was, of course, only the logical
thing that the anti-liquor forces should
follow up their success in the United
States by carrying their contest across
the seas. 1t was inconcievable tha the
good work should be allowed to cease
here. Yet there is something reassur.
ing in the promptitude and definiteness
with which these workers have recog-

of what has been accomplished in this
