COTTON MEETING HELD
AT COURTHOUSE

COL Shackelford, of Atlanta, Ga, adj
dressed a meeting of leading citizens
of the parish at the courthouse here
Wednesday in the interest of the
American Cotton Association organiza-
ton campaign. There were but few
present, which is possibly explained by
the lack of interest in farming in this
section just now because of the inter-
est in oil possibilities. The meeting
was however none the less interesting
as Col. ShackelfOrd opened the eyes
Of those present to the urgent need of
organization if the greatest industry Of
the South is to be perpetuated. Supt,
f. H. Fisher, parish chairman intro
duced the speaker, assuring those pres
ent that he was in hearty sympathy
with the movement.
BY statistics it was shown that the
proceeds Of the, cotton crop in Okla
homa one Of the richest oil states, last
year exceeded the amount realized from
the sale Of the total oil production of
that state for the year. Thus it is seen
that the South must look to the cot,
ton industry for her greatest wealth in
the future. Oil production is uncer-
tain, but every one knows that cot
ton can be raised. The world is cry
ing for cotton, but until the past few
years the cotton farmer has been COM
PEELED to raise cotton at less than the
cost of production, thus depriving him
self and his family from the pleasures
and comforts enjoyed by those in other
industries.
The need of organization for pro
lection was the theme Of the address,
and the American Cotton Association
when completely organized assures the
farmer a profit on production, and will
place the industry on the same plans
with all other industries, where the
farmer can pay adequate prices for
labor to compete with the public works,
and can educate his children, live in
a comfortable home, and give to his
family the Injuries enjoyed by those
who make a profit off Of handling his
product after he has marketed it.
Every farmer in Bienyille parish, in
the State of Louisiana, and in the en-
tire South MUST get behind this move
as it means everything to them Every
merchant, every banker, every teach
er, every professional man, MUST joil
with the farmer in putting this thing
over. The brokers, the spinners anC
the iobbers who consume the farmers
product are organized to FORCE THf
PRICE DOWN. Every other industry
is organized. SO must we OF the
South organize.
The work of perfecting the parish
organization will be begun about TIT
latter part of January. Let every ont
who profits directly or indirectly from
the cotton industry boost the plan.

which he was driving went over the bank

seems that when Mr. Ferguson neared the
dry bridge he saw large automobile
truck crossing the bridge toward him.
The road on this side of the bridge was
too narrow for the large truck and the
runabout to pass without collision, so
Mr. Ferguson, who was going too fast to
stop his machine before he must meet
the truck, crowded too close to the side OF
the road. hoping to avoid collision, with
the result that his car went over the
steep bank at the side of the road.

Swimming.
Nuthing is so useful to people in deep
wattir as knowing how to swim. If a
person is Growdning, no matter how
many other things they know, unless
they know how to swim they will keep
on drownding. Meny of the smartest
by ignorant people jest because they
dident know how to swim and the ig-
norint people did.
Keeping up in the wattir all depends
on wat motions you make. Sumtimes
drownding people make more motions
than any other kind, ony they amt the
rite kind of motions, meny of them
meerly being motions for help. A per
sin that don't know how to swim is jest
as anxious to stay on top of the wattil
as enybody elts, but that don't say
he will. This proves that nollege is
more powerful than hope
A good swimmer wouldent care how
awffen he fell in the wattir if it was
ent for his clothes.
Most people don't mind trying tc
swim in shallo wattir because it is 6
CRATE comfort to know you cant e
down fertilizer than your neck if you dt
go down. Meny people who seem to b'
swimming in shallo wattir RELY have
one foot on the bottom. This prove:
that appearances is deceetfill.
Altho persin can dive without
knowing how to swim, they awtent t.
for their own safety. 1 tJa
A diver who goes in jest rite withou'
hardly making a hole gets the most en-
ioymont out of it, but one that goes ii
flop on his stummick with big splasl
gives others the most enjoyment.
good reasons for knowing how tt
swim is ferst, so you can save your OWL
life, End, so you can save other people :,
life, 3rd, so you can wawk on the edgt

A writer of the Manufacturers Rec
ord is inclined to think that a general
railroad strike would develop results
in motor trucking scarcely anticipated
by strike leaders and create in some
sections at least a, rivalry to the rail
roads themselves which might be con-
siderably embarrassing, if not destruc-
tive to railway monopoly of transpor-
tation. Here and there, railroads have
already lost much business owing to
the enterprise and activity of motor
truck firms and companies.

A New Outdoor Sport.
bennington Banner


A new outdoor sport has developed in
the back towns of Windham, Rutland and
other counties where there are unoccupied
farms gradually going back to wilderness.
1t is cider apple hunting. On nearly all
these old farms there are many apple
trees and on some considerable orchards
which have been neglected for years but
which bear a good many apples In towns
like Somerset, Stratton and Dover there
are apple trees away back in the woods
on land owned by lumber companies and
other absentee proprietors. Nearly every
pleasant day it is said teams and autos
are driven back to as near as it is possible
to go and then with sacks and baskets
the hunters search for the bearing trees.
Some days full loads of apples are carried
out while on other occasions the catch
is small The back ridges of Windham
county is natural apple land and the time
will doubtless come when these slopes will
be covered by commercial orchards.

Statements that capital and labor |
must get together have been very plen-
tiful but suggestions to aid their get |
ting together very few. AS a result |
they have been getting further apart
as evidenced by the numerous strikes.
Industry democraticaly managed has
been suggested but it has not been
clearly defined, therefore is little under
stood and dstrusted by both sides in
the dispute. 1t promises to be more of
a eatchword than practical remedy.
Democratic suggests an all inclusive
and equal management, the good on an
equal footing with the bad or the bet
ter elements sometimes subjected to he
will of the bad. Bad management is
never successful or desirable so the
placing of business in the hands of the
bad elements would be destructive and
ruinous.
This equality of the good and the bad
in the labor union is one of its greatest
weaknesses. The bad, radical or unsafe
element too often determines the pol
icy and demands of the union. The
wage scale is always too high for the
bad element and often too low for the
good An unjust demand is the result
and that causes the unsettled and dis
satisfied conditions of the labor world
because injustice to either side creates
instability. Labor will hasten the APP
proach of Justice if it will recognize
| there is bad element in it; that the
bad element is not worth nearly as
much as the good; and insist that the
compensation of each shall be based up
on it's real value.
| Good labor and there is lots of it, is
reliable, loyal and interested in its EN-
ployer or success of the industry in
which it is engaged. To good labor the
employer can safely offer a closer in
terest in his business and give a great
er voice in its management. This has
been done in the form of CO. cooperation
with results satisfactory to both par
ties. Cooperation between employer
and employee has never been the result
of unionism but is the result of direct
consultation and dealing between EN-
ployer and employee. Profit making and
profit sharing have been made common
between them and has included all who
were worthy of such confidence
1t would seem to be time for all EN-
ployers to give this method considera
tlon and attempt to follow the exam
pie of others who have succeeded in it
The employer aligned against all hi
labor is defeated at the start. Allied
with all the good labor in his emplo,
the two may reduce the bad element o.
labor to minority whose socialistic
anarchistic and dishonest schemes cal
be brought into subsection. The EN-
ployer can never win the labor BATH
alone, the employe can never allow tn
supremacy of the bad and undesirable
and win permanent success; but tn
combination of employer and good en-
ployes shoulnd be able to determine
justice and permanently introduce it il
the industrial world. 1t will never b.
| done by the irresponsible, dishones
union boss or the political seeker 1
mpst be done man to man or man wit
man in both ends of the business

Vermont Apples.

The Vermont farmer who has a good
apple crop this year is in luck. The
prices are extra fancy. As usual the
nicely eolored, perfect fruit bring much
higher prices, simply showing that what
is worth doing at all is worth doing
well, even in fruit raising Gradually
the Vermont growers are leaning to
take good care of their apples, grade
them properly and pack them attrac-
lively. All of these things pay big re-

There has been a tremendous in
crease in the consumption of sugar this
year. Two hundred thousand long
tons more of it have been consumed IN
the first six months of 1919 than in the
corresponding six of 1918. In looking
back upon those sugarless days it is
not surprising that we dipped the
spoon in little deeper at the removal
of all restrictions.
