been done by your organizations.
You are at times asked the Ques-
ton: What has been accomplish
ed by the Chamber of Commerce

you are not at this time prepared
to present any definite facts. If
you will read this annual report
you will not only be able to tell
others what has been done, but
you will be able to convince your
self that these organizations have
accomplished q surprising amount
of work and have paid back to yon
dividend on your investment of

costs you.

Eve are starting out upon new

greatest year in the history of the
city of Rock Island-a year of big

WEST TEXAS FARMERS
SHOULD HOLD COTTON

Farmers of West Texas Hold
your cotton for better price and de
mand that the unjust discrimination
against your cotton shall cease. Do
not get scared at the present slump.
Judge w. +. Ramsey, Federal Re
serve Agent of the Eleventh District
says: 81 am only surprised that the
steel strike, the rise in call money
rates, on some days nearly TO 30 per
cent, the drop in foreign exchange
and the tie-up in foreign shipping by
the coal supply being cut off, and
other factors have not caused n
greater drop in cotton prices. The
fact that cotton has not gone lower
is most convincing evidence that the
cotton trade of the world believes in
the existence of a short cotton crop
to fill "A great world demand. Cot
ton should be marketed gradually.
The man owing money should sell
some of his cotton 10 pay his debts +"
Every sound business man fully
endorses this statement from Judge
Ramsey.
The farmers are the only people
who can hold cotton without injury

We are still of the opinion that II
is unfair to the cotton raisers of
West Texas and especially of the
Plains for their white middling cot
