 DIFFERENCE IN PRICE
 There is too great a difference be- tween the price of the various grades of cotton The tinsel strength of stained or tinsed cotton is as great as that of middling fair. and when dyed no man can tell the difference. Sc the difference now established by the trade between the price of these grades and white cotton is unwar- ranted and the seller is justified in asking a better price for the lower grades and a smaller difference be- tween the prices of the higher and lower grades. The only place in the world where short staple white cotton can be produced is in the cotton belt of the United States. The world is de- pendent upon us for this character of cotton.
 And, while we appreciate our obli- gation to furnish the world with its needed supply of cotton, we insist that the cotton consuming world should ex- press it's obligation to the cotton pro- ducers of the United States in the form of fair and profitable prices. With the greatly increased and multi piled uses of cotton has come a tre increase in the cost of pro- duction and this has resulted i'll an in- crease in the price of the raw ma terial In the old and lean days, when the south was a one-crop section, when we produced nothing but cotton, blow mules cost from s75 to s9O and we paid from 25 to 80 cents a hundred for pick ing cotton Now blow mules cost us from s250 to $500 and we pay from $2 to s3.50 for picking.

The American Cotton associa- ton is helping in this fight. And in this fight the producer is entitled to the sympathy and support of the na- tion and of the cotton consuming world.
 'In order to obtain the supply of cotton that the nation needs and that the world needs, it is necessary to keep cotton production in the United States al a profitable basis. Drive cot ton down to the level of unprofitable prices and you force the producer to turn his cotton acreage into the pro- duction of other crops-crops that will yield a profit. No fair and sane man will contend for a moment that the cotton farmers of the United States should be expected to produce cotton when to do so will bring financial loss to himself and family. The business of the cotton producer must be pay ing bus ness, as any other successful business. or he cannot survive. He owes it to himself and family to en- gage in an occupation that will enable him to provide for those dependent upon him, for the Bible tells us that the man who will not provide for his own household is worse than an in- fidel.

 "The cotton producer buys goods from the merchants and manufacturers of the east and north and he buys mules and grain and cattle from the west. So when the cotton industry of the southern states fares well and is prosperous it's prosperity is felt by every other section. The more money We receive for our cotton the more money we have to spend for the things we buy from you. When cotton prices are unprofitable our purchasing power is diminished, and your business with the cotton producer is injured.

Why Teeth Discolor and Decay

You can feel on your teeth slirny film. It is ever-present, ever-forming. It clings to the teeth, gets between tfte teeth, enters crevices and stays.
 The tooth brush does not end it. The ordinary dentifrice does not dissolve it. So, night and day, that film may do ceaseless damage And most tooth troubles are now traced to it.

For the Good of
 the Community

ship between Birmingham and the people of the balance of the state
 It was pointed out in several articles in these columns that in some portions of the state great deal of prejudice existed against Birmingham, and that until this was removed Birmingham could not reap the full benefits to which she is entitled as the largest city in the state and the leading industrial center in the south < This prejudice can be removed. Lead Elng cities in other states have made friends with the balance of their respec- Etive states which redounded to the inter- Best of these cities and the states as a Ewhole. It can be done in the case of Bir- smingham.
 [ There reside in Birmingham thousands of persons who came here from other parts of Alabama Every county and al- most every community in Alabama has contributed of it's best citizenship to Bir- mingham, and they have succeeded here and are enthusiastic boosters for Bir- mingham.
 By enlisting the aid of these men and women and prevailing upon them to speak good words about Birmingham to their former friends and neighbors great stride will have been taken towards mak- ing friends for Birmingham all over the state.
 The Chamber of Commerce and the Civic association, and perhaps other or ganizations having for their main pur- pose the upbuilding of Birmingham, nat urally are expected to take the lead in this matter. They might call together the men and women from the different localities and by presenting the matter in the proper light to them, start a movement that would entirely eliminate whatever prejudice there may be against Birming ham in every community Tn Alabama.
 Booster trips, trade excursions and sim liar methods have been adopted by some other cities with good results and they no doubt would have equally efficacious re- suits if tried by Birmingham, but it would appear that far more effective way to bring about the desired result would be to enlist the aid and cooperation of former citizens of these other localities.
 They could go among their old friends at their former homes friends who have faith in them and who would listen to what they have to say, thereby relieving { regarding Birmingham that has been in stilled into their minds by designing poli- ticians or persons actuated by jealousy or motives of personal gain.
 Shortly after the reorganization of the Chamber of Commerce during the past summer the officials of that organization asked for suggestions as to activities that should engage the attention of that body during the administration of the officers just elected.
 A large number of suggestions were made and ten accepted for immediate at- tention. At a general meeting of the membership last week, President R. A. Brown stated that seven of these sug- gested activities had been accomplished or were in process of being worked out
 Cultivation of the friendship of Bir- mingham' s neighbors in Alabama was not among the ten suggestions. In view of the fact that the programme mapped out for the year is almost accomplished, with still several months to go, the attention of the Chamber of Commerce is called to
