REDUCTION OF ACREAGE.
New Orleans Conference Agrees on a
Plan.


Plan.
A program for the reduction of the
1919 acreage planted to cotton and the
holding Of the present crop for higher
animously passed in New Orleans last
Tuesday, at the closing session Of the
conference Of growers, bankers, mer-
chants and farmers from all Of the
cotton producing states. The salient
features of the resolution are:
1.-Reduction for the 1919 cotton
acreage by one-third as compared with
1918.
/. "A pledge not to sell any part
Of the present crop for other than re-
munerative prices, and to hold this
crop until the demand calls for 1t at
such prices.
S.-Formation Of state cotton acre
age association, whose business it win
be to secure written pledges to carry
out the first two provisions from every
cotton grower and cotton producer
in the United States.
ITO brand any man who refuses to
cooperate as $50 lacking In public
spirit as to forfeit the confidence Of
the community in which he lives"
5.-A future convention Of cotton
producers before which detailed re-
port Of the progress Of the plans out
lined above is to be made by every
cotton growing state.
The resolutions, which were drawn
up by a committee composed of q
banker, farmer and merchant from
each Of the cotton growing states,
headed by former Governor Manning,
Of South Carolina, as chairman, furth-
er declared that "the accumulation of
large stocks Of cotton in the hands of
farmers and merchants Of the south
and the drastic decline in the price
to figures below the cost of production
due to past war trade disorganization,
the scarcity Of ocean tonnage, to the
restrictions Of trade imported by for
eign nations have precipitated upon
the cotton producing, mercantile and
banking interests of the south crisis
fraught with grave menace to the
present future prosperity thereof"
The convention then adjourned.

at the height at which the flight will
be made is Of utterly unknown possi-
bilities. On that the fier must take
his chances.
The second Is the danger Of getting
lost in fog or storm. The route Is of
necessary quite uncharted, with
landmarks. with the tendency of draft
in cross-winds not easily overcome,
and always the possibility Of being
forced to alight. But this hazard will
not loom large in the mind of trans
ocean aviator.
And, as was said at the outset, the
feat is likely to be achieved this year.

In considering the question Of route
it may as we'll be conceded that the
flight will be made via Newfoundland
and Ireland-or, if Capt. Sunstedts
hopes are realized, direct to London
from Newfoundland. The Azores
route has been often discussed, that
via Greenland and the Farce Islands
less often, but the most direct passage
is easily the more tempting.

human weakness and fallibility of the

GOT a LAUGH ANYWAY.
In Which the County Clerk Gets an Ac-
curate Answer to One of His Mar
rage License Questions.


Funny things happen once in while
even in a county clerk s Office.
Take Tuesday afternoon for instance,
when Cupid ushered Kenosha young
man and his bride-to-be into the sane
tum Of County Clerk Holderness to Sc
cure a marriage license.
The bridegroom to-be hurdled the
questionable without a ripple. The
coming bride was little nervous as
she answered the first two or three in
quiries.
Then came the joker. Occupation -
queried the county clerk with the glib
ness gained from practice. The Octob-
err bride blushed. "You tell him." she
suggested to the man to whom she had
promised her heart and hand.
Jaw, go ahead" was the rejoinder
from the masculine applicant
'EWell, B. Y. D. mender,'' came the
answer in rather low voice from the
young lady And down went "B. V.
D. member" i'll the marriage license
annals. Later it was changed to in.
dictate that the young lady was en-
ployed in the repair department at the

had to have his little joke, "Well,"

around the corner of the door, che
oughtn't to have any trouble getting

GIRL SCOUT COUNCIL MEETS.
Make Plans for Procuring Suitable
Headquarters and Permanent
Camping Site.


Camping Site.
The Girl Scout Council met in the
children s room of the Gilbert NJ. Sim
mons Library at seven-thirty o'clock
Tuesday night. It was the fall meet
ing of the year and many matters of
Importance were discussed.
A motion was made to procure a suit
able place for headquarters as the num-
Der of troops has increased materially.
Last summers camp was also discussed.
1t was a very successful camping sea-
son and the call for a permanent camp
ing place is so insistent that it was de-
cided to appoint a committee to look
for suitable camping site.
In November the Girl Scouts will
have a "stunts" performance, and
trophy will be offered to the troop Civ
ing the best performance. Another
party has also been planned for No
vember, at which the girls of the vari-
ops troops will entertain their mothers.
At first, plans were made for a general
party but as there are three hundred
scouts it was found that this would be
impracticable and each troop will give
separate party. There will be speak
ers at these parties to further explain
the great national movement and the
work accomplished by the Girl Scouts.
A report on the activities of the High
School Scouts announced that a large
number of the girls had passed their
second tests and were now ready for
their third and last test.
