To Hold Prices Down

New York, Dec. 9.-Cuban SUI
gar plantation owners and manu-
facturers are banding together in
an effort to hold down sugar price
according to Arando lopez, Gu
ban vice consul inNew York, who
returned today on the steamer
Moro Castle from Havana. 1t
was their belief, he said, prices for
raw sugar would rise to II cents d
pound, with refined selling at
about - cents in Cuba and about
Is cents in the United States.
The present crop of 100000
tons would relieve the world s SUI
gar shortage without a doubt, he
said. Better shipping facilities
to handle it are being sought by
the Cubans.

WHY FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE

Labor Unions command the respect
OF vested capital and the law markets of
the nation because they are united and
systematic in their demands. The av.
! erage cotton grower has for forty years
tread the pathway OF agricultural slav-
cry because OF his persistent adherence
to that peculiar type of individualism
SO characteristic of rural farm life in
the South.
The scales of such action are now
beginning to fall from the eyes of
Southern farmers, and the old time in
difference of the merchants and bank
ers as to the fate of the average farmer
Is being rapidly dissipated. The farm
ers. merchants and bankers are coming
to realize that their interests are
largely mutual. That the more success
full and prosperous the cotton growers,
the heavier becomes the local bank de-
posits and the less the risks OF the sup
ply merchants. To weld these import
ant factors together, each OF whom is vi
tai to the production OF cotton, is the
plan of The American Cotton Associa-
alton, in laying its foundation for ulti-
mate success. Bringing into harmonious
cooperation a million cotton growers,
bankers, merchants, warehousemen, gin
ners, business and professional men of
all classes interested in maintaining
the price OF cotton at fair and profitable
prices to the producers at all times is
fundamental purpose of the American
Cotton Association. Through the uni
form medium of the State Divisions,
County and Township or District orga
nizations. working in harmony with
the National Association, the combina
ton OF all the interests dependent upon
forces OF the world cannot break
raw cotton will be made so strong and
tpermanent that the entire antagonistf
through
No business organization OF any kind
has ever prospered or madets efforts
effective which was not properly fl
nanced by those to be benefited. The
AMerican Cotton Association must have
TIE membership OF one million men,
hers and the required annual dues from
each one of its loyal,patriotic and sound
business plans are to be substantially
realized. Apples that fall without be-
ine shaken from the trees are generally
OF 10 value for eating purposes. Any
thing obtained without effort is usually
OF no value. Every cotton grower who
sits at ris fireside with his family
about him should deeply think on these
things and determine that his future
shall not copy fair his pash but that ne
will Loyalty support the efforts of the
American Cotton Association and stand
shoulder to shoulder with all other cot
ton growers in order that prosperity
may come to him, his family and to his

Calico Rock Man Defeats High
Cost Living; Rents Jail

Calico Rock, Ark, Dec. Be
cause Arch Qualls wouldn't pay
more rent for the house he was
living in with his two sons, they
are now all living in the town cal
aboose. Arch didn't break any
town ordinance, nor commit any
criminal act against the state. He
is just beating the high cost of liv-
ing. When his landlord raised
his rent. he thought he had asked
too much and refused to pay.
Looking around he tried to find
another house. The only empty
one he could find in town was the
jail, and he went to the mayor
and rented it from him for a res
idence. Yes sir; he did, and he
and his two boys are living right
there in their coy little home. As
a winter residence it is fine, too,
for it is constructed OF two-by-
fours laid side to side, and the
walls are thick and windproof.
