PLANS FOR MARKETING COTTON.

Columbia, June ia meeting, Of
the Board OF Directors OF The Ameri-
can Cotton Association VIII be held
in New Orleans on July 1st, 2nd, &r'
3rd, 1919. Special committees have
been appointed for handling matters
of vital importance to the entire cot
ton belt.
Among the important matters 20 be
handled is the matter of State Cor
porations for the marketing OF the
cotton crop and standard warehouse
system for the entire cotton belt.
There are special committees active
ly at work on Banking and Leglsla-
ton, Finance and Organization, Cot
ton Tare, Marketing and taking OF
Cotton Reports, all of which VIII
make reports at the meeting OF the
Board in New Orleans.
At the New Orleans meeting a whlrl
wind campaign for membership IN the
Association will be launched so that
every single, solitary farmer, mer-
chant, banker, business and profes-
sional man who has the best interests
of the cotton grower at heart through
ont the length and breadth of the cot
ton belt will be solicited for memDer-
ship. Many of the states have al
ready put on this campaign as the RI
yalry between the states to complete
their organization first will be very
intense.
Objects of Association.
Cotton will never be sold again
for less than a profitable price as
result of the work of the American
Cotton Association, says j. Skot-
towe Wannamaker, president OF the
Association, "a standard warehouse
system to be. controlled by the pro-
ducers throughout the entire belt is
one of the primary objects OF the
association. A marketing corporation
which will enable the producer TO sell
his cotton at the highest possible price
is one of the important matters which
is being worked out. Both of these
plans are fully described in Bulletin
No. 2, which has just been issued by
the Association. At the New orleans
meeting plans will be perfected for
the checking of crop reports. Ar
/ rangements are being made TO have
representatives in every cotton con-
suming country in the world to secure
direct information as to the need for
cotton. The very best experts in the
South will be secured for handling
crop reports, the Association to issue,
crop reports twice monthly.
1.-The organization of the Export
Corporation is being energetically
pushed to a prompt completion. This
corporation will revolutionize the en-
tire business interests of the south"

FEW PARTICULARS OF GARY
w. McNiILLAN'S DEATH
Mullins Enterprise.

Mullins Enterprise.
The body of Wagner Gary w.
Mcmillan, of the S16 Machine Gun
Battalion, accidentally killed at Chat
illan Sur Seine, France, May s, will
not be brought to Mullins for the
present but lies in the lovely Amer
ican soldiers cemetery just outside
of Chaumont, officially known as A.
E. F. cemetery No. 10 on the river
Marne.
During the past week, brothers of
his family who reside here have
received many letter of coincidence
from officers of his command, among
the ones writing were 1st. Lieut..
VIM. Conder, chaplain; 1st Lieut..
Geo. M. Smart and Major Robt. F.
Farguson, of the S16 Machine Gun
Battalion.
Details of the sad occurrence were
given by these officers about as fol-
lows:
On May 5th, Mr.. Mcmillan was
accidentally hit by piece of shrap-
mel while handling a pound shell,
thought to be dud. In some manner
the shell was dropped. In the eX-
plosion a piece of the sbrapnel one
and one-half inches long by three
fourth inches wide struck him in
the right chest cavity, entering
about the third rib, passing through
the lung. lodging in the posterior
chest wall. He was removed to the
base hospital No. so, Chaumont
France, where operation was per-
formed but he had lost a quantity
of blood and was profoundly shock
ed though he stood the operation
well. Everything that medical skill
could do was done, but he G.ed two
days later. peacefully and bravely,
and apparently without any pain.
Mcmillan had great scores Of
friends throughout the battalion. The
members of his company raised a
sum of money to buy beautiful flow
ers. His body was laid to rest with
full military honOrs in lot N, No
470, Chaumont cemetery where the
heroes of the American army are
buried. At the conclusion of prayer
and scripture reading, three rounds
were fired over his grave and taps
was played by the bugler. His grave
is plainly marked by a cross with his
identification disk attached and his
name plainly marked.
The young man was an excellent
soldier, universally liked by his Of
ficers, and his fellow-soldiers and his
unfortunate death is a source of gen.
uine sorrow to all.

II. S. MAY PROSECUTE
INDIVIDUAL STRIKERS

Pittsburgh, Nov. 20.-(By A. P.)-
Economy in the use of fuel by Pitts
burgh consumers was urged today by
the coal distribution committee of the
United States railway administration
here. While there is no evidence of a
coal shortage at present, it was declared
that consumers would have to adopt
strict measures of economy If possible
fuel famine was to be averted.
The committee reported increased pro-
duction in West Virginia mines. but
said that the coal industry in the Pitts
burgh district, so far rs union mines
were concerned, was entirely paralyzed.
Alegal point in connection with the
strike was raised here today by Special
United States District Attorney d. w.
Simms, who has charge of enforcement
in this district of the federal court in =
junction order calling for withdrawal of
the strike order. Miners, who have
failed to return to work, are violating
both the injunction and the laws of the
United Mine Workers, said Mr.. Simms.
In refusing to return to the mines, the
workers have violated that part OF the
injunction dealing with the Lever act,
he said. Federal authorities here init :
mated that they may take criminal
action against individual miners who
failed to return to work.

New Brunswick, ". j.. Nov. 20
Society circles here were agitated con-
siderably when Joseph II. Stricker,

pert and salesman widely known here.

Definite plans for assisting the ex

tion Of the problems in connection with
their war risk insurance were formu-
lated ut a conference Of welfare and
service mems organizations in the Red
Cross headquarters, 2lS South Nine

1t was proposed to organize at least
ten meetings throughout the city in De-
cember, in which various organizations
including the American Legion will CO.
operate in bringing together the world
war veterans in Philadelphia who are
interested in war risk insurance.
At these gatherings there will be
present representatives Of the Bureau
of War Risk Insurance. who will ex-
plain the present situation and will be
prepared to answer any inquiries. A..
Neryl Walton, of the bureau, gave as
surance that he had received work from
washington that every assistance will
be given by the authorities there to iron

THANKSGIVING DINNER COST
WILL COME HIGH THIS YEAR
Average Family Viii Pay 90
Per Cent More for Feast
Than Fipe Years Ago
Prices of Some Food Haze
Doubled and Even Tripled
Since 1914: Turkey a Luxury

Thanksgiving dinner for the average
family this year will cost about 60
per cent more than the same meal cost
five years ago.
Prices Of some food used in the holi-
day dinner have doubled, and in some
instances tripled, as compared with
figures of 1914. A visit to the Reading
Terminal Market and neighborhood
stores showed that turkey, the star
feature OF the Thanksgiving feast, was
higher than ever before.
In many places the dealers said they
were not sure they would handle any
turkeys for Thanksgiving. Some dealers
predict drop in the cost of these
birds as the holiday nears.
UNLESS we can get the turkeys within
reasonable price, said one West
Philadelphia dealer, 1--WE will not take
any at all. II looks as though the pre- =
vailing prices will be from fifty to fifty
five cents pound. That means that a
housekeeper will have te pay 50 or $3.50

Two More Alarms Sent In
When Chief Carter arrived he sent
in two more alarms, bringing additional

1t was while the fight against the
flames was at its critical point that the
two tanks exploded.
The explosion tore a hole in the
ground as deep as a shell hole. A piece
OF one of the tanks struck the side of
the Camden Horse Bazaar, about 400
feet away, and went clean through the
building. The fragment passed over the
heads of number of horses.
The explosions shook the burning

Some of the sparks landed on the roof
of the grocery warehouse of Frank Lee
Dickinson. 1t was quickly ablaze. Soon
afterward flames were seen on other
roofs, and it looked as though a wide
area was threatened.
These fires were stamped out after
hard struggle.
The building in which the fire started
was destroyed. In it was much
machinery. Valuable records were also
lost. Part of the structure was used
as an Office.
The Delaware Ship and Repair Co. is
controlled by J. l.. Williams and j. A.
Creand, who have offices at 1873 Chest
nut street. Mr.. Creand said after the
fire that the loss was about $50 900.
Close to the shipyard are numerous
other plants, and also rows of dwell :

Sleepers in these houses were sud =

broke nearly all of the glass in the
windows for blocks around.
Frightened men. women and children
ran from the houses, not knowing what
had happened and seeking places OF

The streets were swarming with half

arrived.

made by the Delaware Co., but it is
believed to be In excess of S60, 900.

DEMANDS REFORM |
OF CONSTITUTIONS
State Fundamental Laws
"Abominable," Doctor Daw-
son Tells Educators
CONDEMNS SCHOOL METHOD

Harrisburg, Nov. 20.--New state
constitutions to reform what he termed
perfectly abominable American state
governments" were demanded by Edgar
Dawson, Hunter College, at the educa
tional conference yesterday
1--WE are making ridiculous pretcnse
Of having democratic government SO
long as we have state governments
which no one can either explain or
understand" he said. Virtually every
state constitution in the country needs
to be revised unless we wish to do more
for the Bolsheyik propaganda than the
Reds themselves are able to do.
Professional politicians are at a
sttutions of New York and Pennsyl-
vanin," he insister, in urging educat-
ors to unite for the purpose Of framing
model state constitution to serve as a
basis for revising the fundamental law
of every state
Machine leaders are better citizens
than are the average refofmers who sit
in their clubs and criticize, according to
the views Of Doctor Dawson. Often
times the men who praise their own
civic virtue fail to vote, he declared.
What's the use of teaching in our
schools that the machine leader is a
criminal?" he demanded of the history
conference. actually they are much
better men than the average run Of
voters are. There is too much frantic
effort in our schools to cram hodge
podge theory of government that never
worked into the heads of the pupils and
not enough of really worthwhile and
constructive content in the things that
we teach"
Most courses in government and eco
Monies Doctor Dawson condemned as
impractical and worthless. He recon-
mended thorough training in social prob
lens in the final high school year as a
solution of the difficulties.
Scrapping of all the textbooks on
physical education and the relegation of
hnlf the gymnastic apparatus to the
scrap heap was suggested by William
A. Stechcr, Philadelphia. director of
physical education, during speech in
which he summed up reasons for the
continuance of physical training in the

DRY LAWS ARGUED
IN SUPREME COURT
Both Wartime Prohibition and
Volstead Act Are Up for
Decision
ARG GUMENTS END TOMORROW

Washington, Nov. 20.--Thc Supreme
Court was asked today to determine the
constitutionality Of the war time pro-
hibition act rs well as the Volstcad pro E
hibition enforcement act during argu-
ments in appeals brought to test Con-
grcss' right to prohibit the manufac-
ture and sale of intOxicants.
while many conflicting decisions have
been rendered in various parts of the
country upon the question, today's ar
gunents involved only three cases-one
from Kentucky, in which the war time
act was declared unconstitutional, and
two from New York in which the au =
th0rity of Congress not only to make
the country dry, but to enforce it, was
sustained.
Failure of the Senate to ratify the
treaty of Versailles was regarded by
attorneys in the cases as only complicat =
ing the situation because Of the delay
in the termination of the technical state
of war. but the courts willingness to
expedite the cases was regarded by
court officials as indicating the court S
intention to decide the question with
as little delay as possible.
The argument attracted considerable
attention Long before the court con =
vened the space allotted to spectators
was crowded and many were unable to
gain admittance. Many attorneys also
were present.
Although both sides agreed not to
ask for any additional time, the argu =
ments will not be concluded until to-
morrow.
The first case argued was that of
the Kentucky Distillerics ana rare
house Go. in which Federal Judge
Evans. of Louisville, Ky. declared the
war-t time prohibition act to be invalid
and enjoined internal repenue officials
from preventing the withdrawal of a
large quantity Of whisky from bonded
ware houses.
