scribers, who says he is a Republic

Prof Wilson and his league OF ma

He told the members of the Demo-

"Ioathed the pigmy minds" Of the SEN

we're mere knots to keep their bodies

The cotton growers of the south
have entered into an air-tight organ
ization to reduce production and keep
mn the presen. high price When the
government made a request that the
cotton producing states OF the south
reduce their acreage and grow more
food, when food was a serious ques-
tion In winning the war, the planters
anewered BY increasing the cotton
acreage by 30 per cent. During the
war the cotton interests were success
full in preventing the government fix
ing the price, and Is a result cotton
sold for a higher price than II eve
brought before in the United States.
and the action of the planters of the
Solid South is evidence that they want
to make that price permanent by
whatever means may come to their
hands. The cry OF Buy a Bale" at ten
cents a pound will not be heard from
the south 10 the members OF the or
ganization can help It.

Fay rose from her stiff chair and began
walking up and down the small space.
