Buick Models For
1919 Have MANY
New Features

Our Buick demand says Mr.. w. G.
Turpin, of w. G. Turpin & CO., local
dealers, Continues unabated. We
never want for a place for every car
we can secure. With the war over,
and the company fast resuming its
pre-war activities, we feel sure that
we can take better care of our pros
pective customers during the coming
spring and summer.
1.-THE mechanical superiority of
Buick is unchallenged, and we find
the models of each succeeding year
better than ever. We wonder often
how improvements can be effcted, or
what will be the next thing the Buick
engineers develop to make the line
more desirable"

COTTON STATES
BACK HOLDING
And REDUCTION

NE WORLEANS, Feb. ia pro-
gram for the reductio nof the 1919
acreage planted to cotton and the
holding of the present crop for higher
prices was unanimously embodied
in resolutions unanimously adopted at
the closing session yesterday of the
conference of growers, bankers, mer-
chants and farmers from all of the
cotton producing states. The salient
features of the resolution are:
Reduction of the 1919 cotton
acreage by one-third as compared
with 1918.
A pledge not to sell any part OF
the present crop for other thGn
"remunerative prices" and to hole
this crop until the demand calls
for it at such prices.
Formation of state cotton acre

business it will be to obtain writ

to cooperate as 80 lacking in
public spirit as to forfeit the con-
fidence of the community in which
he lives''
A future convention of cotton
reducers. before which a detailed
report of progress of the plans
outlined above is to be made by
every cotton growing state.
The resolutions, which were drawn
by a committee composed of a banker,
farmer and merchant from each of the
cotton growing states, headed by for
mer Governor Richard l. Manning, of
South Carolina, as chairman, further
declared that "the accumulation of
large stocks of cotton in the hands of
farmers and merchants of the South,
the drastic decline in the price to fig
ures below the cost of production, due
to past war trade Reorganization, to
the scarcity of ocean tonnage, to the
restrictions on trade imposed by for
eign naions have precipitated up
on the cotton producing, mercantile
and banking interests of the South a
the present welfare of the section as
well as to the future prosperity
thereof"
The convention was adjourned sub
ject to the call of Governor Pleasant,
of Louisiana.

STRIKE TREASON

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Senator
Thomas, Democrat, Colorado, in an i'm
FASHIONED address in the senate yes

employees and likened their attitude to
treason.
II can not justify 1t as anything short
Of treason" he said after citing recent
public statements of the brotherhood

demand for wage increases costing
$500, 600, 900 which confessedly will not
help them, or they will suspend u
great transportation system.
"Their second demand is for confis-
cation Of $40. 900, 900, 900 of property that
IL be put into government ownership.
This is the first time in the history of
the American nation, and God grant
1t be the last, in which a segment Of
the American people has pointed Its
finger at the American congress and
said: You must legislate thus n so
or we will strike and tie up all trans

give answer. There Is no consequence

NEW RECRUIT

Senator Borah can boast the acquisition of a new opponent
TO the league of nations. The latest recruit is Gen. A. J Won
Bernhard, who has resigned from the German army and is living
in retirement.
Gen. Won Bernhard says the terms of peace are sufficient
to provoke a war, and that it is useless to talk of the brother
hood OF man while the Germans are only waiting for the oppor-
tune moment to renew hostiities with England and France.
1t would be difficult to conceive of a stronger argument for
the league of nations than the pessimistc vein adopted by its
opponents in predicting the dire calamites that lie just ahead
of us, league or no league. '. t
Feeling as they say they do the correct and patriotic thing
for them to do would be to offer some substitute for the league,
some agreement that would tend to postpone if not prevent
hostlities or perhaps human nature is not so perverse as they
claim it is.
While it is altogether possible that peaceahle nations might,
through a combination of circumstances, be forced into a war,
they at least would be forced in on the same side, and the nation
that provoked the step would be confronted with united OPPOSE
tlon and the certainty of defeat. A nation that has no regard
Tor right, justice, treaties, customs or traditions OF other people
is not going to willingly court disaster. The league of nations
may nor prevent war, but it will make war a disastrous under.
taking for the nation that provokes it needlessly.

MAN OF 1885 LAUGHS

Not since the storm broke in 1893, and eliminated in that
spectacular presidential campaign in 1896, has there been half
50 much discussion as now on prices, Then all the highbrows,
all the wise ones, all OF those who claimed to be possessed of a
monopoly on economic wisdom, told US with all the solemnity
OF the owl and stateliness of the raven that the one thing
mundane which was %immutable was the great American dollar
only so long as it was composed of or exchangeable for 25.8
grains of 900 fine gold.
This was the one point that they would not consent to
debate. Discussion would indicate that there might be some
doubt. There could be no doubt, and hence no discussion. So
cuss that point. NI
Now these same heavy thinkers talk Just like plain common
folks about the dollar being actually worth only 50 cents.
Really 1t II worth only about two bits as compared viii 1893.
The man who owes a debt contracted several years ago is
IN clover now, just as he was in Sahara in 1898 on a debt n few
years old. The one who was possessed of an income fixed in
dollars in 1898 was easy, but now upon the same income often
is in actual want. Both conditions are bad. The debt should
be paid in the same money as that in which it is contracted, and
that may or may not be 258 grains of 900 pure gold,
Some real statesman some time will succeed in enactinp
legislation by which the price of say 100 products of human
energy in 10 open markets will be taken as a basis, each davis
average price being cast into a years grand average. If that
be above or below the initial year a certain contraction or expan-
sion OF the currency would restore it to the level. Then if cot
ton showed a decline as compared with the general average. and
corn showed an increase, the farmers along the border between
cotton and corn in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri. Kentucky.
Tennessee and Virginia would naturally cut their cotton acreage
in favor of corn the next season, The same general principle
of operation, with an even, fair regulation Of laws against ari.
fnal combinations to control prices, would make it more nearly
possible for one to pay in the same coin in which he contracted
a debt; for him who purposes to leave a fixed benefaction to
know what benefit would accrue from it, and for the man whc
contracts to work for a specific wage to know what that wage
would be worth to him.

sion Of industry has changed the nature

For whatever the worker receives in

LOSS FROM EFFICIENCY

In the old days of the long-hom cattle from the West there
was no shortage of leather, because when you killed enough of
them to feed a family for a season you had enough hides to shoe
the same family for the same length of time, with a fair amount
left over to make leather for commercial purposes.
But now only a small per cent of square feet of hide con-
tains about twice as much beef, and hence when the family is
fed there is not enough hide to shoe it, let alone the demands
for commercial purposes. Add to this the increased height Of
the wonen's winter boots and you have the law of supply and
demand operating strongly for an increase in the price OF leather,
in addition to the higher cost of manufacturing and the now
quite general habit of profteering.
1t is true that the up-country manufacturer has evolved a
machine to split that hide in two and make twice as MANY
square feet of leather, but he also got in too big a hurry to have
his leather oak-tanned, and hence his two square feet Of leather
lasts about one-fourth as long as the original one used to, when
its curing took a year, and Mike Lintz or Andrew Hull made il
INTO a boot. You might burn that boot out, but YOU could moi
wear it out in one season.
So be prepared to pay u~nheard-of prices for footwear this
winter. Il
