BISHOP ARRIVES

Col. W. A. Bishop, who lectures at the Jefferson theatre Saturday night, March s, will not reach Birmingham until about 3:90 Saturday afternoon, according to announcement by Merritt Craft in charge of the great aerial warriors appearance here.
 The Community club had been anx- ious for Colonel Bishop to attend it's luncheon Saturday at 1 o'clock, and l had been hopeful that he would be able to attend, but have just received a wire from his mana cement stating that he would not reach town until late in the afternoon
 The great Canadian ace, who won all the war medals offered by the al- lied countries, has been under such strenuous pressure on his tour that he has been obliged to abandon to & great extent social courtesies, but local avia- tors, who had planned to honor him with a dinner at the Country club Sat urday night following his appearance at the Jefferson are going ahead with the arrangements.
 This famous aerial warrior, who is officially credited with having downed 72 planes, has been appearing before packed houses in the larger cities of the east" stated MT.

Two of the best features to be seen in Birmingham the latter part of the week will be seen at the Strand today, Friday and Saturday, one fine drama. with handsome Wallace Reid in the stellar role, and the other the cleverast and funniest Mack Sennett comedy that has been filmed in months.
 The dramatic offering is entitled "Alais Mike Moran" and gives to Wal lace Reid one of the best character roles that he will be seen in this sea- son. In this picture he takes the part of a department stores salesman, with more good looks than nerve, but who has in him the latent fire which burns in the hearts of heroes. When the draft comes, he turns yellow and evades the army by changing identities with tramp. and that's where the picture gathers interest, for in committing this crime he gets himself into all kinds of trouble, and to avoid arrest he finds

HELEN URGES AID
 IN COTTON HOLDING

Washington, March 5.-(Special0 Representative Heflin of Alabama sent a telegram today to some bankers and merchants in his state saying that the regional banks would continue to back local banks in aiding farmers to hold cotton for a profitable price. He said members of Congress from the cotton growing states will tour the cotton belt urging a big reduction in acreage and the holding of cotton by farmers, mer- chants and bankers until it goes back above 30 cents.
 He said: of we hold three or four million bales for SO days longer cotton will go to 40 cents and if we produce only 5000, 900 bales this year it will sell for 60 cents and more. Cotton will be scarcer then than now. We are in the fight to the finish. We have now made all arrangements necessary to hold the remainder of this crop and we are going to do it. The foreign bear conspiracy operating. through the cot ton exchanges of the United States for the last three months to beat down the price and frighten the American farmer into selling at low price has failed in it's purpose but it has sue ceeded in molding strong sentiment throughout the cotton growing states for the abolishment of the exchanges and this will come later unless the ex- changes reflect the price justified by the law of supply and demand"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-03-06

tract conforms with the new law Old style contracts are not affected except that they will be traded in only for liquidation. It is also provided thai with the new contracts the chasing shall be done by the department of agri- culture.
 Opinion is naturally much confused as to whether these changes will advance the price of cotton as intended. and as to what will be the effect on the outstand- ing old style contracts. It Is probable that there may be some rnomentary con fusion, but we doubt if there is any sharp change In the market tomorrow. With the present grade differences. the old contracts are cheap. and while at first glance the new should command q premium, it remains to be seen what that premium will be when the trade takes the present status of old contracts due to these grade differences Into considera tion. As to the broad question of the price of cotton, that depends and always has depended on questions which cannot be legislative, namely, on the laws or supply and demand, modified as they are in actual practice by business condi- tions, and the judgment of the trade on business onditions.-Hubbard Bros & Co.
