DENIES RAMSEY OPPOSED
FIXING PRICE OF COTTON
FORMER Governor Manning Declares
Press Reporta of bankers

tBy Associated Press.


COLUMBIA, S. c.. Sept 5.-Former
Governor Richard Manning, who has
Just returned 10 this city from Mont
Gomery. Ala. where he attended the
American Cotton Associations con-
vent!on. declared tonight press re-
ports OF Fridays session OF the con-
vcntion placed an erroneous inter
probation on the address OF Judge w.
+. Ramsey. governor Of the Eleventh
District Federal Reserve Bank.
The reports conveyed an impress
sion almost the reverse OF the facts,
the former Governor declared. In say
Ing Judge Ramsey "dcplored the ac-
ton fixing the price OF cotton at 40
cents, declaring it could not be
achieved" and brought note of
pess!mism into the convention by de-
claring the farmer must practice
strict economy and prepare for hard
times"
There was no note OF pcssimism in
Judge Ramseys address, Mr.. Manning
said. On the contrary the speaker
heartily commended the action OF cot
ton convention and urged that every
reasonable assistance be given the
farmers to enable them to hold their
cotton off the market when the SELL
ing meant loss.

flow of ideas and free recombing of
those ideas in planning and vizualizing.
The mind that is worried is held rigid
by that worry and the attention is hypno-
tized by the ever present fear of failure.
In that condition the bars of attention are
up and prevent the entrance of impress
sions which would help to solve the
problem in the most effectual way.
The ripening of new idea into crea-
tive expression in practical way requires
time and degree of relaxation. The
plan must take shape and form from its
first crude conception. Often period of
inspiration will follow period of rest or
change of thought
Unless the mind is at ease, and ones
ideas held in fluid state, it does not
easily adapt itself to the new combina-
tions necessary in creative work.
Application and hard work are necessary
to high degree of success, but they should
never be carried to the point of strain.
Physical health and the comfort and
well-being of the body should be taken

TRYING TOO HARD

Perhaps you are one of those who defeat
your own ends by straining after results.
Any activity which is commenced under
conditions of compulsion or grave necessity
is apt to produce worry and tension in one
of nervous temperament. And this ten
sion stands as an inhibition against sue
cess.
Probably you have, on occasion, tried to
recall some name which seemed to Just
elude your memory in spite of all your ef-
forts. The harder you tried to recall it
the farther away it seemed to slip. And
then, when you had given up and become
quiet for moment, or possibly when you
awakened in the night or early morning.
that elusive name would suddenly flash
into your mind.
The mind must be free from strain and
at ease to do its best. Directed thinking
and effective planning cannot be accom-
plished under conditions of tension.
The mind should be at ease during crea-
tive work so that there may be free in

full-grown specimen you may have to pay
as much as fifteen hundred dollars, which
seems rather high price for dicky-bird.
1t must be remembered however that in
the nesting season the hen bird lays an
egg every other day from which ostriches
may be hatched, which can themselves be
sold later at high prices. Besides this, a
single bird may produce hundred dol
lars worth of feathers every year. A
hunter once pursued family of ostriches,
and as he gained upon them the devoted
father threw himself down and struggled
about in the sand as though to persuade
the hunter that he was injured and that
he had better leave the young ones and
follow him instead.
When enjoying the society of mules it
is well to remember that the safest place
is right in front of their heads; but when
visiting the ostriches it is better to keep
as near to their heels as possible. The
ostrich kicks forward like cow and can
do you no harm so long as you keep be-
hind him.
The ostrich was once common from
Egypt and the Sahara to Cape Colony
but it is slowly retreating before the ad
vance of the colonists. 1t was to be met
with at various points in southwest Asia
in earlier times, and Xenophon says it was
common in Assyria in his day.
In conclusion it may be said that, not
withstanding the widely current story,
these sensible birds do not hide their heads
in bushes and suppose that because they
can see nobody, therefore no, noe can see
them.-Raja Yoga Messenger.
