PRICE OF COTTON FIXED
AT Sc TO 40 CENTS

New Orleans. Sept. 1O.-American
Cotton Association committee, appoint
ed to recommend minimum prices for
cotton. late Tuesday reported to the
convention. and It's report was prompt
ly adopted without debates. showing
a scale Of prices ranging from 36 cents
per pound in September to 40 cents per
pound in May, and specified that such
prices are temporarily recommended
until conditions warrant a higher price
that the farmer should receive.
The committee further stated, I'VE
feel that it will be to the advantage Of
all who can hold their cotton until
| more favorable conditions will put the
market higher
The recommended minimum price by
i months are based on middling, United
States government grade, and delivery
at point Of origin, as follows: Septem.
Der, So cents; October, S6 IL cents !,
November, 81 cents; December. 81 IL
tents; January, 80 cents; February
81 IL cents March, 80 cents; April
30 10 cents; May, 40 cents.
This report. signed by J, J. Brown
Of Georgia, chairman; H. A. Boykin Of
Georgia. chairman Of subcommittee,
land y. F .McClalpey Of Georgia, sec
rotary. states that the committee has
carefully gone into tho matter of re-
commencing minimum prices and af.
ter carefully considering all obstacles
existing. finds that in its opinion 1t is
limpossibFo under these conditions to
designate a priced basad upon either
the law of supply or demand or the
cost of the manufactured product
Neither could the committee, 1t declar-
cs. take into consideration the great
increase in the cost Of production under
existing condition. Because Of the
facts that the peace treaty Is yet to be
signed, that the European markets arc
practically shut off. that the exchange
necessary for the European countries
| to purchase cotton far apart and tho
balances so heavy that the exchange
is practically prohibitory, 1t is found
| that the market is practically without
eompetition. Therefore, the commit
tee was forced to the conclusion that
1t was necessary to recommend price
| that can neither be based upon the
law of supply and demand nor the
manufactured product. 1t is specified
that these prices mentioned are only
! temporary and the committee recon-
mended that as soon as the European
markets are open and proper credits
arranged and peace formally declared
that the executive committee Of the
American Cotton Association be called
and authorized to set minimum prices
at such figures as the conditions may
i, then seem to justify. The temporary
minimum prices by months as desig.
mated were recommended with the
statement that in tho judgment Of the
committee such prices can and will
be realized by the sellers Of cotton

'Listen!'' said Imogene in a stage whisper. They were sitting in the liv- ing-room, each with a favorite book. Andrew laid his book in his lap and listened. Some belated passerby was humming in a sweet tenor, and they listened till the music died out in the distance, when Andrew resumed his
 book with the remark: Tt was that little tune you like so well, wasn't it?" Imogene looked so steadily at him that he raised his eyes to her face. That's all it means to you, is it?'' she asked. It's just little tuner Do you mean to, tell me that you don't re- 1 that the night that you first told me l that you loved me? Have you no senti-
 ment in your makeup at all?"
 50 it was! So it was"' said Andrew, hastily. T remember noww
 No you don'tw said Imogene: you had forgotten it entirely. Men are so absolutely devoid of sentiment. I sup
 pose 1t is because a woman is of more sensitive organism.
 "A woman's life is made up of senti-
 ment honey, and if men would only remember it how much happier they could make us. Music is particularly sentimental to me, and I believe it is to the average woman.
 'The very first thing I can remember in thfS world, Andrew, IS the tune ol a little lullaby that my mother used to sing over my cradle to put me to sleep. It was some foolish little song about
 buying a rabit skin to wrap baby in;
 but as long as I live it will be con- neeted in my heart with the sweet dark eyes of my mother as she leaned oIer me,
 Then comes that music which, as l have told you, is inseparably connected wi ar nd v1xy for and that sweetest of all nights, when that great est of life's sensations-real lifelong
 love-came to me and tied my life to yours throughout all eternity.

 Thousands of yards of tulle must have been cut up by the Paris dress makers. for with the exception of lew houses it plays all the important roles for the evening. Satin is it's side companion. Gold and silver mesh is used for draperies and sometimes the embroidery adds to it in bold design in bright silver or geld thread
 The, house of Renee does this in an afternoon frock which is of dull silver net over low slip of black satin. The net is tarnished in tone and is bright ened by a rose embroidered thickly on the surface with glttering silver thread. This fabric and these designs can be easily put out by the American houses.

It is new and expensive.
 American women have tried to get the French dressmakers to substitute satin for this taffeta when it is. used as an underskirt. but the vendeuse rebels and insists that the gown will be ruined by this change So it can easily be seen that this taffeta is to be strongly featured There is a vital oT,tr1, ia1 kat .% manufacture and the introduction of panniers on the hips. Nothing goes by chance in France in the trade of clothes.

DRESS
By ANNE RITTTENHoUsE

Copyright, 1919. by the Nc There is not much originality in the
 fabrics used in the Paris collection
 of gowns and the American buyers
 are glad that difficult colors are
 not introduced
 Paris. october 2.-Rodier is at work, md he established mill in the devas- lated regions with courage and at great hazard: and yet. with the wizard doing his best there is no display of curious and unusual fabrics in the new collections of clothes. Perhaps next spring we will get the result of his work. At the moment the Amer leans are more concerned about the present than the future. and they real ize that it is remarkable that France has as many materials. such splendid embroidery and the fascinating crystal work as the houses display in their new gowns.
 Naturally the American buyers are not depressed by the lack of highly expensive and original fabrics, for 1t Is difficult to get those materials to America in sufficient quantity to copy the French models.
 When the models can be copied in American materials the difficulty in production is decreased The French do not make any reduction in their prices for gowns whether the material is serge or bit of something new and difficult to obtain Paris is laying her increase of prices to labor and scarcity of all material And for her ingenu- ity no price is too large. although the times do not permit one to pay for in- genuity alone.
 Running over the hundreds of frocks that have been exhibited one realizes the continuous usage of blue serge, of brown duvetyn. of satin. of taffeta and of tulle The dressmakers have not gotten away from these fabrics. Therc are sumptous and costly embroideries to enliven the commonplace ia brics. They are made by hand and in them one finds exquisite designs.
 The American buyers say that much of this can be copied in America to- day for some of our embroiderers have risen to heights of artistic excellence. The quantities of metallic lace used in the froclxs also eases the minds of buy CTS, for this can be gotten in the States. There are few brocades eX- plotted. There have been two or three extravagant brocade gowns in each collection. but even Worth gets his ef- fects with, plain surfaces.
 Matelasse is again used and there is a certain kind of Chinese and Spanish embroidery that is popular. Madame Lanvin wore a gown made from Can ton crepe shawl on the opening day of her exhibition It was black and the fringe was not included. as fringe has had its day and does not appear in any form on the new frocks. She enlivened the gown. which was one piece frock by string girdle of Yale blue crepe de chine. and added im-

New York, October 10.-tSpecial) Col. Charles Elliott Warren, who dur ing the period of the war was in serV- ice in the ordnance department, an1 who is now president of a large na- tional bank in New York said this morning that already some 500 appllca- tions for membership in a new associa- tion have been received and hundreds following daily. Ultimately the organ ization will be of much larger men, bership for it is an organization whose purpose is the perpetuation of Ameri- can preparedness not by legislation or by any covenant. but voluntary ac- tion.

Tho organization does not propose the maintenance of large amounts of | ammunition or the manufacture of many large guns. but instead the per Meeting of it's members in the knowl- edge of all those things which are es sential, if preparedness is to be found upon a moments call. to be complete preparation
 | Many of the industrial leaders whose corporations were in war days occu- | pied in producing various commodities needed by the government have joined

 to maintain American preparedness.

THE HOUSEHOLD
ARE YOU HOsPITABLE!

The war has stood as an excuse for numerous omissions. A good many things that we do not like to do any way we have given up because of the war" and after the war was over and done we have gone on. emitting these things. So the woman who always found it a bore to indulge in those lit tie hospitalities that are conveyed in a cup of afternoon tea or bit of re- freshment to a weary guest feels still justified in her neglect because as she says, People haven't been doing those things since the war"
 Really, your powers as & hostess and the suitability of your home for hos pitality should not be mehsured by your ability to plan and give a large and elaborate dinner or the facility with which you can offer the im- promptu hospitality, the bit of refresh ment that you offer this minute that you lad not planned 10 minutes be- fore.
 There are some wives who rather boast of the fact that their husbands do not bring business associates to their homes to entertain them. You know Tom doesn't do that sort of thing. He always takes his business associates to his club or the hotel" In some cases. perhaps. Tom really doesn't want to bring the business &C., quafntance home. but when the ac- quaintance is also a friend he would probably like well enough to extend real hospitality to him instead of the mock hospitality of the club or the hotel Englishmen habitually take business friends home for luncheon and it is regarded as one of the Eng fish housewife's little duties to see that these little business lunches are what they should be.
 There are ever so many mothers who "do not believe in letting their chill dren bring plavmates home to meals" Perhaps you do not. But stop and think whether or not your prejudice Is not based rather on consideration of your own convenience than on the actual welfare of the youngsters them selves.

LITTLE LIFE coNFIDENCES IN THE EXPERIENCE COUPLE PHILOSOfHIC, THOUGH MARRIED
 By

Iohengrin' that my own wedding does not come back to me like a picture flashed by recollection on the screen of my mind. The flowers l carried again send their fragrance up into my face, the bridesmaids, the way you looked, so proud, as you led me down the aisle and all that.
 Then next comes Abide With Me. which the church choir sang at the sad dest moment of my life, when we fol- flowed that little white casket to Glen wood.
 Next after that. think. comes a little ragtime tune a girl was singing in a cafe one night, when you had been paying more attention to a certain wo- man than you ought to, and a word you dropped in conversation during the song showed me that I was mistaken and that you still loved me as much as you ever did; and now every time I see you making eyes at some girl INjust hum that little tune over in my mind, and I am happy.
 Then, too, I recall one night last winter. which was an awful night to me, honey. As I dressed to go out I found the first gray hair in my head and I noticed also, that this little wrin- -lsle that runs all the way around under my. chin had come up in sight here at each side and | could not rub it out and then we went to concert where woman sang Darling, I Am Growing Old and I cried and you laughed at me. It was one of the saddest mo- ments in my life, for it was the first time that I really realized I was no longer a girl.
 "It is so all through life, honey, and sentiment and music play much more important part in a woman's existence than any man imagines. What are you thinking about"
 q was wondering" said Andrew, If there was enough of that roast beef left from dinner for sandwich. I sure would like to have one"
 With a sigh Imogene rose to go down to the kitchen and fiX~it for him.
