Criticizes Old Policies.
Senator Smith criticized the old
policy of marketing the cotton crop
rs fast as it was gathered. eff your
present crop is offered for sale only
as the manufacturers need it," he
suggested, sit should easily command
q price equal to the best it brought
during the past twelve months. y "The
American Cotton association" he
added, would inspire farmers to or
ganize and prevent sacrifice of the
crop through untimely sales" The
farmer. he said must learn to organ
ize with his fellow and bring about
new declaration of independence.
Taking the government estimate of
supply on hand July LIST, and deduct
ing the cotton which will be used by
the mills up to OCTOBER list, with that
required continuously by the mills,
Senator Smith conservatively estimat-
ed the available cotton for the year
beginning in October and inclusively
of the leftover from this year, would
be a total of IS ,581 900 bales-an in
adequate supply for prospective de-
mands.
Senator Smith went fully into esti-
mated consumption, showing that four
wears prior to the war the United
States averaged an export business of
9,44S, 600 bales. At low estimate,
he figured, the export business for
the year beginning October lst would
be at least 100000, which added to
the conceded consumption of Ameri-
can mills of 100000 bales, would
make total of 14,50o,000 bales, or
full demand for the entire supply.
In closing his address, which was
that of legislator who has long
studied the cotton situation, Senator
Smith said:
During the past year cotton sold
in the early part of September for
about SO cents pound. Adverse in
fiuences depressed the market, and it
went to below 25 cents pound, but
before the season was over it came
back to So cents pound. The mar
ket will fiuctuate again this year. Do
not be frightened by fluctuations.
When the market goes off, keep your
cotton, as all your cotton will be
needed for consumption during the
year. If you respond to fall of
price by keeping your cotton, you
may be sure that the price viii adj
vance. Never sell on a declining
market If you do dot let it break
your nerve, the price will return to
just value.
'pThe cost of producing the crop;
the present value of lands; the rela-
tive value of other commodities; the
law of supply and demand, applied to
the present crop, justify better prices
for cotton during the coming year
than any received during recent
years
In the meantime, while gradually
selling your cotton, plant food crops
and raise cattle and hogs. Let the
would understand that you will meet
the situation again next fall, indepen-
dent and owning your cotton"

For Skin Tortures

Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have clear.
healthy skin by using Zemo, obtained
at any drug store for Csc, or extra large
bottle at S1.00.
Zemo generally removes pimples,
biackheads, blotches, eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. It is easily
applied and costs mere trifie for each
application. It is always dependable.

Should the bridegroom choose a

why the Santali Indians hold widows
In less regard than unmarried females
Is because they assert that I'm the
