MANY PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN
 HER STATEMENT
Mrs. O'Connor Says That Letters, Have Come to Her From Five States Asking About Tanlac.

eff anybody had told me that there was a medicine that would make me gain eight pounds in ten days I could- n't have believed it, but that is ex- actly what Tanlac has done for me- said Mrs. John O'Connor, 33S East Oldham street, Knoxville, Tenn.
 "For the past five or six years" she continued, "I had been in rundown condition from nervous indigestion. had no appetite, my head ached most of the time and 1 had awful dizzy spells. My nerves were worn out so l could get very little restful sleep. 1 was troubled with a bad case of catarrh and felt miserable day in and day out.
 q began to feel better right from the time l started talking tanlac. My appetite is fine now, can eat and di- gest anything and am gaining in weight. My nerves are quiet and I sleep like a child at night. The ca tarrh does not bother me like it did and l am strong enough to work every day.

ted, during the past wet winter, as a result of the acute labor situation and congested conditions. It is estimated that the decrease from these condI- ticns will amount to around 750,00O bales. This added to the shortage of S,300, ,0O0 bales, as shown above, will make total shortage in supply of raw cotton, as compared with press ing demands, of 9,O50,00O bales.
 "We find that, regardless of the fact that Europe purchased in the last four years 15 ,935 .437 bales of cotton less than for the previous four years, the amazing fact stares us in the face that there is still 3,O00,000 bales more cotton actually consumed from the four last consecutive crops of Ameri- can cotton than was produced. The trade is overlooking these startling facts: According to the latest figures obtained from the Department of Ag- riculture, in Washington, the world's s production of cotton for the last four years shows an enormous shortage as fo11owe.

Judge w. E. S0rrells
 Endorses "Fit to Win''

Circuit Judge w. B. Sorrells, who viewed the United States public health service film production, "Fit to Wln," when it was shown here re- gently, has given his endorsement of the showing of the film, to be exhi- bited at the Best theatre today and tomorrow. Just what Judge Sorrells thinks of "Fit to Win" is contained in the following statement:
 "Io my fellow citizens of Pine Bluff
 This is to certify that I havve to- day had the pleasure of witnessing an exhibition of the United States pub lice health service film "Fit to Win ' l have never before seen or heard of a more forcible film production than "Fit to Win" That the United States government, as well as the Arkansas state board of health, has not only endorsed this film but has made it. self responsible for the exhibition of the picture at practical means to- ward the making of good citizenship is fact of grave importance. By witnessing one of the performances one can gain the great lesson the film teaches in connection with the present nation wide campaign against venereal diseases and licensed pro- stitution.
 "W. B. SORRELS."
 The man or woman who sees "Fit to Win'' cannot fail to be impressed by it's sincerity and force. Its message is not alone for the general public, but for the individual, ignorant of, or poorly informed regarding facts vital to his own well-being. The word moves swiftly, and no more striking proof exists than the fact that the greatest government in the world has thrown down the gauntlet and openly challenged humanity's greatest pla- que. ''Fit to Win" graphically re- veals the reason.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1919-07-23

The City Council by resolution saw fit at their meeting last night to prohibit the showing of the film "Fit to Win' stating that the same was grossly immoral and indecent.
 I have never seen the picture, but several days ago Mrs. Cora Gillespie 1 requested that I allow them some mornings to. show picture and granting their request Mrs. Cora 1 Gillespie, Mayor M. c. Hollis, Judge R. H. Williams, Prof. M B. McNeil, l Frank Bridges, Sheriff Currin Nichol, Judge w. B. Sorrells, Dr. Troupe, Sandy Reeves, Rev. Brunberg, Sam Vaulx, A. R. Cooper, Dr. McMullin, Rev. Jordan, committee of Rotary club, committee of Associated Charity and the following ladies: Mrs. Chas i Moore, Miss Grace Strobridge, Mrs. Eugene Arnold, Miss Witherspoon, secretary of Y. w. c.

I presume the City Council to the judgment of Judge Kerwin over the judgment and opin- 1 ion of the aforesaid named parties who witnessed the trial performance in Pine Bluff. If the picture did not promote public moral and was gross ly immoral and indecent I did not wish to show the same, but as many residents of Pine Bluff who witnessed the trial showing of the picture re-

 Production Cost.
 Export representatives of the de- partment of agriculture, complies for the purpose of making an estimate of the cost of production of the 1918 cot ton crop find that this cost is in ex- cess of 90 cents per pound, basis mid ding. The cost of production of the 1919 crop, that is the growing crop, will be far in excess of the 1918 crop. We are now engaged with the best experts obtainable in preparing a statement showing the cost of produc tion of the present growing crop. This statement cannot be completed until the season has become far enough advanced to ascertain approximately correcly the production, which will probably be ascertained the first part of September, at which time state ment showing the cost of producing said crop will be complied. We are conducting in every section of the belt a thorough and painstaking investi gation, so as to show the absolutely correct cost. With information be- fore us, however, we find that this cost will be far above the cost of the 1918 cotton crop.
 We are also working with leading experts in preparing a statement as to the worlds needs for cotton for the year commencing August l, 1920. These estimates are being made for the purpose of establishing mini mum price for which the growing cotton crop will be sold, and also for the purpose of deciding upon the ac- reage to be planted in cotton in 1920, and cotton will not be sold below the minimum price agreed upon, nor will an acreage be planted in excess of the acreage recommended.
