A great many things Of impor-
tance to the cotton growers of the
South were discussed at the late
meeting Of the American Cotton As
sOciation in Montgomery, Ala, but
the most important advice to the
growers was to hold their cotton. We
must show the bear gamblers and
their allies, the association states,
that they have absolutely mistaken
the spirit and determination OF the
Southern people if they think we will
sit idly by and be robbed Of half the
fruits of this years labor. 1t has
cost between 80 and 40 cents pound
to make this years crop. The de-
cision of the Montgomery meeting
was that 40 cents should be mini
mum price for middling. Not only
must each man resolve to hold his
own crop, but he must see his neigh
bors and insist on their holding. AS
]. A. Brown says, eve must shut
up the market so tight that no man
can buy or beg bale Of cotton at
present prices--so that the only way
to get a bale Of new-crop cotton until
prices improve will be to steal it."

The gravel for the new road that
has just been completed from Atoka
to Munford was taken out Of the two
gravel pits in the vicinity Of Mum
ford and was laid on the road, we
are told, at cost Of dollar and
fifty cents per yard. There are two
good gravel pits, we understand, in
the vicinity of Brighton and we are
sure that the gravel could be used
most advantageously on the highway
north from Atoka-in fact, the gravel
could be placed on the road at a
price very much lower than it would
cost to haul it to the nearest railroad
station by rail.

DENIAL FROM SECRETARY
NEAR EAST RELIEF

Denial that alleged theft of sup
plies by relief workers in the Con-
stantinople area has reached any
such total as reported, is contained
in statement issued today by H. G.
Jaquith, assistant general secretary
of the Near East Relief.
"Col. Coombs has cabled US that the
loss does not represent monetary
loss in excess of $15,000," Mr.. ia
quith said. "0f this sum, Col.
Coombs expects to recover more thar
$4,000. IN
"If this occurrence shows one thing
it proves that funds and supplies are
handled as efficiently as possible by
the Near East Relief. 1t was through
an elaborate system of checking that
the loss was discovered by Col.
Coombs, who immediately ordered
the arrest of five men. Had politi-
cal conditions been less unsettled the
theft could never have occurred
"This is the first time in the two
years that the Near East Relief has
been organized that any loss through
the dishonesty of its personnel has
occurred. E, c. Miller, treasurer Of
our organization, has just returned
from an extensive trip Of inspection
throughout the wide area in which
I'VE are operating. With an auditor
from this office he has made a rigid
investigation If the books Of all
workers charged with the handling
sof funds and supplies The books
he found to be in excellent condition
! "This unfortunate affair / am sure
can never happen again. The Near
East Relief intends to prosecuta the
five men to the limit and will de-
mand that, if found guilty, they re-
ceive the maximum penalty"

co M pRICEs MERELY BEGUN

Washington, September "a. - A
! general decline in commodity prices
was forecast today by Secretary of
Commerce Alexander as a result of
the announcement of price reductions
by Henry Ford, the Franklin Auto
company and the cotton goods manu-
facturers.
Secretary Alexander believes chat
the sharp cut made in these commod-
tiles is only forerunner to a gene
raj decline in prices.
The people Of the United States
have the money and are willing to
spend it, but they have reached the
place where they are demanding full
value for the money they spend" the
secretary declared.
Production will not be affected.
and buying will be stimulated by the
decline in prices. he indicated. The
fact that the first cuts came from
the Manufacturers has strengthened
the belief that lower prices win be-
come more general.
A drop in wooden goods, clothing
anu SuOe prices is forecast Tor bne
immediate future. With costs re-
duced in two Of the largest industries
already at hand, other industries will
follow, is the claim made BY the sec
rotary.
Failure of the Federal reserve
board to extend credit for the storing
of foodstuffs is expected to bring
down prices in the sale of the crops
from the present harvest.
Prices have begun to hit the tobog-
gan and gradual recessions will be
extended to many fields, according
to reports which reached the treas
ury department and Federal reserve
board today.
Reports from reserve bank agents
show manufacturing plants in the
large producing centers are greatly
overstocked as a result Of cancella-
ton Of orders ard the slowness Of
merchants to put in new orders.
