is the reason why otton has ad-
dvanced to 40 cents and above.
"The bear spectators Doasted few
weeks ago that the farmer would turn
loose at 40 cents, which some few have
done. l am proud to say that not such
great amount was released at that
figure, and l firmly believe that spots
holders at this time will not turn their
cotton loose from now on for less
than 80 cents. Don't forget that the
bear speculator has already sold your
cotton to the mills and we haven't
more cotton than just enough to keep
the mills on scant running until the
1920 crop comes in.
Wherefore, it is entirely now in the
hands. Of the spots holders to demand
their own prices. Spots cotton has the
strongest position it has ever occu-
pied. The demand Of the world for cot
ton is twice as strong as it was year
ago. The dry goods market is yet ad-
vancing-then why not the price of the
raw material? 1t is entirely up to
spots holders and all they have to do
is to sit steady in the middle of the
boat and the spectators will come to
them and say, What will you take for
this cotton?
81 have just heard from the market
reports that July cotton is selling for
above 35 cents. Remember. q few
weeks ago I advised the farmers, es-
pecially those in the boil weevil sec
tion, that when July futures could be
bought for 80 cents, they would make
more money not to plant cotton, but
to buy last years crop from the specu
lators and sell it back to them on the
rise that was bound to come. The man
ket today sustains that prediction

have been one Of the richest countries
i'll the world. We have had monopoly
of it, but have never used it for our
own advancement. Nothing but good
practical business sense will solve the
problem of practical marketing of cot
ton, and this is what the American
Cotton association is going to work
out for the Southern farmer. I want
to urge every farmer banker and mer-
chant and other business man to join
the association-be one of the number
that helped to win this fight for the
financial freedom of the South.
"Let us take look at the cotton
market for period covering the last
IL months. Middling cotton and above
was selling IL months ago for 25c
a pound. Some few of our people were
advising the farmer to hold-not to
sell until it passed 35 cents. At that
time it would have been cheap at ,45
cents pound, when we consider it's
intrinsic value and what was act Ially
made out of it by the manufacturers.
Likewise l say that it is cheap today
at 65 cents pound. This being the
case, with the information that the
farmer has received in regards to the
conditions, surely he will not part with
his cotton for less than 80 cents a
pound for middling and above. And
really we know from the experiments
made by the government that three or
four grades below middling are just
about as profitable to the spinners as
mlddling cotton. I say to the farmers
don't let them fool you out of low
grades at low prices. Before the end
of the season they will be bringing
more than middling is doing today.
"This time last year middling cotton
was bringing 25 cents and by July
it went to 81 cents. 1t was further
from 35 cents then than a 40 cents
today it is from so. What made it go
to 81 cents ? 1t was the concerted ac-
tion of those who took the advice of
the few who advocated to the farm

This caused the suspicious of The racers to arise. whereupon they demanded that the promoters of the race show the cash. The promoters replied that the affair mad not banned out as they had ex- pected, and pleaded with the racers not to turn them down at the last min ute. They asked the racers to turn three or four laps and call it a race. and they would be given s10 each VI hen 1t came to show down. an Fl Paso banker had to guarantee the rae ing men that they would be paid their SlV each.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
 At midnight, George Purdy Bull lard, referee and representative of the American Automobile associa- ton, announced that today's big auto race would be run from a standing start, instead of a flying start, as had been agreed upon by the contestants and officials on Thursday. The reason is that the worlds record, made here last No- venber by Eddie Hearne, was from standing start and, after confer ring with Richard kennerdell; the chairman of the contest board in New York, over the long distance telephone, Bullard stated that if a new record is made today it would not stand as breaking Hearne's mark. As the drivers are anxious to have the new record they ex- peet to establish to be regular in every way, all decided that the standing start would prevail. Ex- perts say that Chevrolet will be favored by the change. Instead of Milton getting the pole position he won yesterday by driving the fast est lap, the lineup today will be decided by drawing numbers out of hat just before the start.
