Hold Your Cotton.

Atlanta, Ga, August. We ear
nestly urge that the cotton farmers
and the holders of cotton be not
stampeded by propaganda now
being issued by bear speculators
and parties who desire to buy cheap
cotton, but that they stand steady
and refuse to sell their staple at
present prices the executive COM
mittee of the American Cotton As
sociation says in statement issued
at headquarters here. The COM
mittee further says: The associa-
tion deplores the organized effort
now being made to depress and
send the price of cotton to the bot
tom. In spite of the fact that cot
ton goods have greatly advanced,
cotton prices have gone down twen-
ty dollars to twenty-five dollars per
bale. Today the staple. measured
by the price of manufactured cot
ton goods. is intrinsically worth
more than thirty-five cents per
pound, and even at that price it is
the cheapest commodity being sold
in the worlds market. As soon as
the American Cotton Association is
fully organized with its million
members it will Immediately begin
an organized fight in behalf of cot
ton -

Higher Self Should Be
Developed, Says Wadia

The value to humanity of develop
ing mans higher powers was dis
cussed yesterday at CrandaIIs Met
ropolitan Theater by B. P. Wadia.
India's labor delegate.
Mr.. Wadia declared that as man
has various powers and functions in
his physical body, SO has the real
man, the higher self. His lecture
swung around the relations between
these two sets of powers. He eau
toned against the danger of devel-
oping the lower ones, which seemed
so attractive and fascinating to the
American type of mind, and also as
taught by certain schools of thought
in his own country. He urged the
slower, il more difficult method of de-
veloping the higher faculties-which
comprised the evolution or unfold
ment of the individual, the spiritual
man.
Mr.. Wadia said that the teachings
of Christ harponized perfectly with
those of his own great religious
leaders, but that too frequently we
forgot to look for the light within.
but sought II in the form side of our
religious faiths.
Mr.. Wadia leaves this week for his
transcontinental lecture tour on
Indian philosophy, religion and
science.

NATURAL GAS
SUPPLY MUST
BE CONSERVED

TT is 70 the interest OF the entire
country that natural gas commit
tees conserve their supply and re-
lease coal for use where there Is no
natural gas"
This warning against the waste
OF natural gas was contained recent
ly a statement OF the Smithsonian
Institution. Such waste. according
to this statement. is one Of the rea-
sons for the Increased cost OF living,
since IL causes q heavier draft on the
supply Of coal, thereby raising the
price of coal on account OF the in
creased demand.

The Smithsonian statement goes
on to say the only instance where

York and Pennsylvania. There IL

niteIy than he did last week when
he laid government data and aver
ages of labor costs and living costs
before the coal conference.
May Meet Today.
Whether the coal conference will
get down to business again today
is problematical. The miners said
yesterday that they were waiting
for the operators to tell them when
they were ready to go on with me-
gotiations. The operators said they
had asked DIR. Garfield to meet them
again and advise them what to do.
DR.. Garfield said last night that
meet the operators today, or indeed,
whether any conference would be
held before Tuesday.
Another conference on the coaI
situation is expected to be held to-
day by DIR. Garfield, Attorney GEN
eral Palmer, Judges Ames. of the At
torney Generals staff, and Walker
d. Hines, director general of rail-
roads.
1t is entirely possible that the nego-
tiations will mark time until the whole
situation put up to the Cabinet at
its meeting Tuesday. The operators
pointed out yesterday that there is a
wide difference between the positions
taken by DR.. Garfield and by Secretary
of Labor Wilson. and that the Cabinet
will have to decide the lead which the
government will follow.
While DR.. Garfield has not yet made
a specific recommendation in definite
percentage and figures. the operators
claim that the data of the United
States Fuel Administration, will not
support the offer which Secretary Will
son said should be made to the min
ers. 'and which the miners promptly
said they would accept.
