Minimum COTTON
PRICE SOC TO 4OC.
Recommendation of American Cotton
Association at New Orleans--Ad-
wise All Who Can to Hold for
Higher Market.

New Orleans, Sept. l0.-American
Cotton Association committee, APP
pointed to recommend minimum prices
for cotton, late Tuesday reported to
the convention, and its report was
promptly adopted without debates,
showing a scale Of prices ranging
from SO cents pound in September
to 40 cents pound in May, and speci-
fed that such prices are temporarily
recommended until conditions warrant
a higher minimum price that the
farmers should receive.
The committee further stated, "We
feel that it will be to the advantage
of all who can to hold their cotton till
more favorable conditions will put the
market higher"
The recommended minimum prices
by months are based on middling, Unit
ed States government grade, and de-
livery at point of origin, as follows;
September, 36c; October 36l4c; No
vember. BIC; December, S7Ac; Janu-
AIRY, Csc; February, 3slsc; March, 39e;
April, s931c; May, 4JcN
The report, signed by J J. Brown
of Georgia, chairman; II. A. Boykin
of Georgia, chairman of sub-commit-
tee, and d. r. McClalpey of Georgia,
secretary, states that the committee
has carefully gone into the matter Of
recommending minimum prices and
after carefully considering all obsta-
cles existing, finds that in its opinion
it is impossible under these conditions
TO designate price based upon either
The law of supply or demand or the
cost o f the the manufactured product.
Neither could the committee, it de-
clares, take into consideration the
great increase in the cost of produce
ton under existing conditions. Be-
cause Of the facts that the peace
treaty is yet to be signed, that the
European markets are practically shut
off, that the exchange necessary for
the European countries to purchase
cotton far apart and the balances so
heavy that the exchange is practically
prohibitory. it is found that the mar
ket is practically without competition.
Therefore, the committee was forced
TO the conclusion that it was necessary
to recommend a price that can Meth
er be based upon the law of supply
and demand nor the manufactured
product. 1t is specified that these
prices mentioned are only temporary
and the committee recommended that
as soon as the European markets are
open and proper credits arranged and
peace formally declared, that the ex-
ecutive committee of the American
Cotton Association be called and au-
thorized to set minimum prices al
such figures as the conditions may
then seem to Justify.

COOPERATION IN ROAD MAKING
County Judge Finds Overseers, Farm
crs and Merchants Working Together.


crs and Merchants Working Together.
County Judge H. W. Finger, on his
return from trip to Vandervoort,
Hatfield and Cove on Wednesday, re-
ported that wherever he has been this
summer on county road business he
found the road overseers doing better
work than has ever been done before
in Polk county, and everywhere he
finds the people in hearty eo-opera-
ton.
He had good demonstration of
this spirit of cooperation while at
Vandervoort. 1t seems there is a
stretch of about three miles Of road
near the steel bridge east Of Wander
WORT, that has been neglected for the
reason that the overseers in White
and Faulkner townships each claimed
was in the others district, but get
ting them together with some of the
business men of Vandervoort, a move
ment was started which before he left
had resulted in securing a fund of
1915 to be expended on this road. In
addition there was labor pledged, and
then the overseer of Faulkner town
ship promised to secure financial aid
from his township, so that in course
of week the road will be as good as
any other in those townships.

Those who we're with him imme-

injured man from the mine and call

CHANGE WoRDNe
ABOVE HIS GRAVE
Corporal Woodward Was Not
Missing but Was KILLED
in Action"

Beside a road near MOntdidier for
ten months lay an unnamed grave.
Near II was the wreck Of a "Spadn
plane. At its head was a cross made
Of charred pieces from the wreck. AT
Its foot. the tailpiece Of q rudder.
Once ii was within the German lines.
But the tide of battle swept over Il
last summer and pushed ON until II
was left far behind. Marching men
passed and repassed II. Trains Of
camions went rumbling by. But the
riddle Of the wreck and the grave
went untouched.
The solution has just been found.
II has erased Missing" and substi-
tuted "Killed in Action" before the
name Of Corporal Pilot Houston Wood
ward Of Philadelphia, member of the
Ninety-fourth escadrille of the French
aerial forces, and son Of DIR. George
Woodward.
Out Of the hottest of the fighting
which, In the early spring of last year,
blocked the German offensive in the
angle Of the line beyond Montdidier.
Corporal Pilot Woodward's plane rose.
scared above the fighting front and
disappeared far over the German
lines. II never came back. That was
April l. 1918. Days passed and no
word anne And at last the men Of
the escadrille gave their young COM
rade up MS lost. They were not sur
prfsed that the enemy had not report
ed his death. He had scorned to wear
a name plate on his machine, so con-
fdent was he always Of victory. His
papers might well have become the
trophies Of a German infantryman be-
fore an officer came to take charge Of
the body.
The word missing" went back
home. In the face of ii his mother
believed him living. a prisoner in Ger
many. And when one of her sons old
friends, Franklin S. Edmunds of Phil
adelphia, left for France to become
head Of the legal and soldiers leave
department of the Y. NJ. c. A. war
work council in France, the mother
intrusted to him the task of learning
the truth about her son. After the
success there of the allies the change
was made.
