Conditions in South Improying

George E. Roberts, vice-president of
the National City Bank, who has lust
returned from a trip through the
South, thinks the cotton growers are
undu!y. excited over the situation
which has arisen since the fall in cot
ton prices. In an interview Yesterday
the banker was quoted as follows:
with the fall from 40 to 20 cents they
imagine the situation is exceptional
and that the only solution is govern
ment aid. But the condition is part
of a general liquidation going on
throughout the country, and has shown
itself in the drop in sugar, wool and
other basic commodities. Should gov
ernment aid be extended to every in
dustry, which shows loss, the whole
process of defation would be stopped.
The cotton crops in the South tins
year are excellent and would furn. sh
q large export volume were it not for
the strike in England and the conGi-
tlons in the credit markets Of Asia
and Europe. AS it is, many farmers
will have to take losses ON this years
crops, but they must realize that other
producers are taking losses also. 1t
seems the rule that producers are
willing for the price of every COM
modify to come down but that of their
own. Cotton growers should allow this
years losses to average in with the
unusually good profits of the last two
years. Conditions are improving in
the South, and l expect to see costs of
production readjusted to the new price
level after the presen. season"

FACTORY GIRLS HAVE
PARTY AT Y. w. c. A.

The Y. w. c. A. has launched a
new venture for the purpose making
the building a clearing house for
girls, hoping that the institution may
become serviceable to every woman
n Bogalusa.
The first group of girls to take
advantage of this new announce
ment was the girls from the cigar
factory, who gave an informal party
Saturday night, chaperoned by Mrs.
Somers, wife of the manager of the
factory, and entertained by Miss
Ruth Voss, of the Y. w. C. A. There
were eighteen girls in the party and
their evening was spent without in
terruption by any other event that
was being carried out in the building.
Miss Voss, who will direct this ex-
tension work, says that any group of
girls or women may plan their So
cial evening at the Y. W. C. A. and
be assured as much exclusiveness as
they may desire, or they may have
the liberty of the building to mingle
with the regular events of the insti-
tuition.
