Business interests
Feel Effect of Slump
in Price of Cotton

From American Cotton Association
New Orleans. Oct 3O.-The business
world has already begun to feel the
effect of the depression i'll the cotton
industry. and though it has rallied to
the movements designed to relieve the
situation. this support has not been as
effective as it would have been II given
earlier in the crisis, and the lack of
unanimity among the> farmers them
selves has heretofore prevented them
from controlling the situation.
With the market experiencing one
jolt after another from depressing III
tiuences III Washington. with the buy
ers out of the market except where
they can pick up distress cotton ut
bargain counter prices, a movement
waS launched to ask the gins all over
the South to stop ginning cotton fol- a
period of thirty days or more. This
was designed to create Il market for
that cotton which had already been
ginned. and to put the market on a
soald basis. on the law of supply ;uld
demand The suggestion came from Il
ginner and w. Il. Thompson, Chairman
of the Louisiana Division of the Amer
| lean Cotton Association. launched 1t in
a circular letter which was sent all
over the South Governor Parker WAS
so deeply impressed with the logic of
| tile movement that he issued a formal
statement to ginners in Louisiana. and
requested the governors of all cotton
producing states to join In the appeal
Willie individual ginners in many
parts of the South promptly responded
the governors did not see the wisdom
| of the movement In the same light. and
several Of. them replied declining tG
take the step. The principal reason
| given was that the farmers as rule
| had llo place to store their unginned
cotton, and furthermore. that they
kcould not negotiate loans unless tlt
cotton was bsiletl and stored in ware
| houses. The one exception w;.s tsov
/ ernor Kelby. of Alabama. who ISSUED
a proclamation highly commencing TIN
work of the American Cotton lAssocit
ton. and urging the farmers to join II
it. and be guided by the advice OF it

leaders. Those who specifically declined
were Governor Russell. of Mississippi,
Governor Dorsey. of Georgia, and Coy
erllor Cooper. of South Carolina.
Planters who have practiced storing
their seed cotton have found 1t cheap
and advantageous. Cotton houses can
he Euilt ut little or no expense, such
as to hold a bale or two, and this dis
tribution of the crop reduces the fire
risk to a minimum. Dr. W. u. Haas,
of Alexandria. writing on this phase
of the question, says: Instead of cot
ton damaging while stored in the seed.
the contrary Is the case. Cotton III the
seed improves i'll staple, there being
enough nutrition in the seed to keep
the staple growing. The modern prac-
tice of picking cotton and hauling it
immediately to the gin is the cause OF
gin-cut cotton and great deal of loss
in weight that occurs in early ginning.
In the meantime Chairman Tll0mp-
son is in receipt of naIN letters and
telegrams. from Louisiana and Missis-
sippi, commencing the movement, and
agreeing to close down gins. some inn
med;ately. and others OH November list.
Several requests have been received
for additional copies of the circular.
When Mr.. Thompson suggested to
| the fariilersitst August that they not
| Bick tile low grade cotton there were
| many who questioned the wisdom OF
| the move. and not "a few condemned It
as revoiutionlry The fact remains
that two months after that date the
farmers Of he South are putting that
| suggestion into practice, from one end
of the South to the other. and picking
and ginning have already ended III
most of the cotton country. One who
has Just visited North Texas. brought

Incredible Names,

Speaking of 'burdensome" names,
Stray Stories tells of one Arthur Pep
per of Liverpool, England, who be-
slowed upon his infant daughter a
name that comprised every letter in
the alphabet, running from Anna to
Yetty Zeno.
1t seems surprising that the names
Of Dickens characters, odd though
they. were, should be found in real life :;
for it was from life that many Of
them were taken. Some, as is known,
were copied from the names of signs
over business places; but that was not
the novelist's only scarce of selection.
John Forster, his biographer, found
among his papers carefully drawn
list Of names, with the sources from
which he obtained them. Some of the
names are too extravagant for any,
thing but reality: jolly Stick, Bill
Marigold, George Muzzle, William
Why, Robert Gospel, Robin Scrubban,
Sarah Goldsacks. Catherine Two, So
phia Doomsday, Rosetta Dust and

MANAGED DRAGON BY WIRE

Metropolitan Opera house in New

made of canvas and papier-mache, con-
sists Of two small boys, who are sup
posed to guide the beasts movements
In accordance with the music. They
are rarely equal to doing that correct
ly, even after rehearsal. A recent per-
Torrance is stated to have been given
without single stage rehearsal, since
no time could be found for the prepa-
ration Of the opera. It was, therefore,
more than ever necessary to have the
occupants Of the dragons inside kept
up to their business. The stage mana
ger decided to install a telephone In
the beast. 1t connected with the opera
house switchboard. On one end was
the stage manager, and at the other
were two receivers strapped to the
heads of the two boys, who received
from moment to moment directions as
to what they should do. The dragon
