Farmers Urged to Hold
Cotton for Better Prices
American Cotton Association
Issues Warning Against
Specualutors.

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. 20.-(Special) y
The American Cotton association has
issued an appeal to farmers not tc
be misled by propaganda of specula-
tors to sell cotton. Hold for better
prices is the keynote of the message
which Is as follows:
I'VE earnestly urge that the cot
ton farmers and the holders of cotton
be not stampeded by propaganda now
being issued by spectators and par
ties who desire to buy cheap cotton,
but that they stand steady and re-
fuse to sell their staple at present
prices"
The executive committee further
says the association deplores the or
ganized effort now being made to de-
press and send the price of cotton to
the bottom.
In spite of the fact that cotton
goods have greatly advanced, cotton
prices have gone down $40 to $25 per
bale. Today the staple, measured by
the price of manufactured cotton
goods, is intrinsically worth more
than 35 cents per pound, and even at
that price it Is the cheapest commod-
ity being sold in the worlds market.
AS soon as the American Cotton as
sociation is fully organized with its
million members 1t will immediately
begin an organized fight in behalf of
cotton

1t often happens that her family

Watch Produce UnIoaded.
Housekeepers sometimes watch a
car of produce unloaded at the rail-
road station and follow the motor
trucks to the store where the produce
will be sold. When a carload of eggs
arrived the other day women clung
to the trucks carrying the eggs to
stores while others ran alongside. At
the stores the clerks stood in door
ways and handed out the eggs three
only to customer. Some customers
reached over others heads with their
hats while others pushed aside the
weaker ones.
Servants take their rest days by
telling the housekeeper they are 60

Rome, July 2S.-(A PO-Seven
hours Of each day of the Italian
housekeeper must be devoted to buy
ing food. The problems of the ordi-
nary American housekeeper pale into
insignificance even with their trouble
some servants when compared to the
Italian. Domestic servants strikes
in Italy are chronic.
The recent upheaval In italian
economics when the government or
dered foodstuffs and clothing reduced
so per cent. has begun it's reaction
and the factor affected most is the
housekeeper. She must start to mar
kekt at Z o'clock in the morning and
is forced to hurry from one store to
another. To obtain a piece of meat
usually takes two hours. To obtain
bread about an hour, eggs two hours,
vegetables one hour and a half, and
canned goods about one hour.
Then She is Lucky.
The housekeeper's day starts by
placing herself at the back OF long
line of waiting customers. The line
sometimes extends for half a block
guarded by armed carbineers. When
the buyer is permitted to enter the
store she finds inside a scramble for
all sorts Of commodities. Guards are
stationed there to prevent any mis-
chif. II she obtains what she wants
she is lucky.

Action to Stop Leasing of
Gasoline Tanks and Pumps
Federal Trade Commission
Holds Custom Tends to
Stifle Competition.

Washington, Aug. 20.-The federal
trade commission has taken action to
stop the leasing of gasoline pumps
and tanks TO retail dealers by oil
companies on exclusive dealing leas-
ing terms INTENDED to stitie competi-
ton" An order to cease this prac-
tice was today served on the Stand
ard Oil Company of Indiana. The
order prohibits the company from
entering into contracts or continuing
after four months to operate under
existing contracts, which provide
that dealers, as a consideration for
the lease of pumps and tanks, shall
use them only for the handling Of
gasoline and products sold by that
company. The leasing of tanks and
pumps at rentals below those war
rantable to insure reasonable profit,
on the condition they would not be
used to distribute the products of
competitor companies, the commits
sion ruled, is an unfair method of
competition in violation of law"
