The American Products Export and
Import Corporation, by virtue Of its
activities in supplying cotton to the
European market, will create other
avenues of bushes sthat will be hand
led at a minimum cost: such as ex-
changing cotton for potash, laces and
the exporting of other farm products,
such as tobacco, corn, grain, peanuts,
etc.
From information gained first hand
as to the profits of other Export and
Import concerns that are not nearly
so we'll fortified for making money,
it is the candid opinion of this Cor
poration that the annual profits will
be satisfactory to the stockholders
and with every indication that at least
an eight per cent. annual dividend on
your investment will be earned.

THE "COW-BELL BOY"
Chairman.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 18.-The "cow-
bell boy" of Marion at last has found
some one to care for him, some one to
help him in this trouble, some one to
see he wanders no more all day with
the bell changing about his neck like
any beast of the field.
For long the cow-bell boy has been
at once the pity and the terror of his
neighborhood, the outskirts of the
South Carolina town where his mother,
10 few years ago, was left widow with
himself and several other children to
support.
The cow-bell boy is only little
negro, his mother only one of those
many black toilers of the South who
exc out a slender existence on corn
pones and turnip greens from the lit
tie money they can pick up washing,
cooking, doing general housework for
the "white folks"
He, her eldest, was born an epilep-
tic, an idiot Yet she loved him. And,
because she must work all day and
had no one to look after him who was
incapable of looking after himself,
she "belled" him. Every morning, be-
fore she left for work, she tide the
bell around his neck. Every. night,
after she came home, she took to the
streets, the woods and fields, listening
for the bell. Always she found him
through the bell, and brought him
home who could not find the way alone.
1t was the only way she knew to keen
him.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-10-20

But tho trouble of the cow-bell boy
grew up him,--that and his loneliness,
his wanderings. He frightened the
other children in the neighborhood.
He became no longer responsible for
where he went, what he did. People
began to talk. The boy with the bell
they said, was growing into the
beast he initiated.
There might have come night
when the mother, listening for the
bell, could not hear it anywhere; when
she could not take home her little boy
But kind hearts discovered the thing
in time. 1t was the secretary of the
Marion chapter Of the Red Cross, Miss
Jessie Rose, who came upon the cow
bell boy and reported his case.
There was no precedent for it in the
laws Of county or state. The Red
Cross help the helpless everywhere.
The Marion chapter has taken the case
Of the cow-bell boy into it's charge.
Whether he can be cured, whether he
can be placed in an institution for
such persons, is not known; but one
thing is sure, the chapter will see to
it that the bell is no longer necessary,
that some one cares for the boy, that
the mother does not have to search for
him nightly any more.

AMERICAN PRODUCT
COMPANY ORGANIZED

Columbia, Oct. 18.-The organiza-
tion of the American Products Ex-
ports and Imports Corporation is re-
ceiving substantial encouragement on
all sides. Numerous letters have been
received giving commentator to the
purposes of the organization, which is
to sell, to Middle European countries
that need it, the cotton that the South
cannot sell elsewhere. The manu-
facturcrs in middle Europe cannot
swing the purchase of large consign-
ments Of cotton, but their banks and
their governments will give official
approval of the paper.
One of the strongest letters that
has been received at the headquarters
of the committee on organization is
from J. r. Vandiver, of Anderson,
banker and farmer. He says in Of
fering his subscription for $1,000 Of
the stock: 81 regard your plan of
handling cotton as entirely feasible.
t is practically the plan suggested and
advocated by Gov. Harding of the
Federal Reserve Board. He is one of
the ablest financiers Of the country

AMERICAN PRODUCTS EXPORT
and IMPORT CORPORATION
Object and Purposes

The primary purpose of this Cor
poratlon is to create a direct market
for both high and low grade cotton
from the producer to the consumer,
especially for low grade cotton.
The European markets are short
of available funds to pay cash for our
cotton. They have thousands Of idle
spindles and experienced labor ready
to consume our low grade cotton, of
which we have more than there is now
a demand
THUS, from a economic standpoint
the Southern farmers, through this
Corporation, will soon have thousands
OF European spindles and men work
ing for them in way that will in
crease the farmers annual return for
his cotton crop.
Under ordinary conditions, or in
what we call normal times," the diff
ference in price of the various grades
of cotton from middling to good or
dinary, was from 100 to 100 points be-
tween each "grade", or from $1,000
to $500 the bale. At present this
difference is from $50 to 600 points,
or from $3.50 to $4,000 the bale. With
those wide and abnormal differences
brought to normal basis (and this
Corporation seems to be the only
agency likely to bring this about),
the value of every farmers crop
would be increased from $3.50 to
$500 per bale.
Mr.. Planter and Farmer, simply
multiply the number of bales you made
this year by $3.50 and see what your
inv vcstment in this Company means to
yo'i.
For a basis of figuring we show
you below the normal or pre-war diff
ferences on grades below middling:
Normal or Pre-War Differences
Strict low middling-50 points off
middling.
Low middiing-15O points off mid
ding.
Strict good ordinary-30O points off
middling.
Good ordinury-45O points off mid
ding.
Ordinary-600 points off middling.
Present Day Values
Strict low middling-400 points off
middling.
Low middling-800 points off mid
ding.
Strict good 900 points
off middling.

NEW, HAMPSHIRE. aas
TO BREED PHEASANTS
Will Operate Farm In Connection with
Fish Hatchery and Hope TO
Produce 1900 Chicks a Year.

CONCORD, May PA determined
effort is to be made by the New Hamp-
shire department of fisheries and game to
stock the covers of the state with pleas
ants and Gov John H. Bartlett and
council have authorized the establish
ment of breeding farm at New Hamp-
ton, the details being left to Fish and
Game Commissioner Mott l.. Bartlett, of
Sunapee, and Councillor John II. Brown,
,of this city. The pheasant propagating
plant will be operated in connection with
the state hatchery at New Hampton.
The state pheasant farm, which will be
in charge of two men, will consist of
about u acres upon which stands house
and barn. The house will be put in shape
to accommodate the man who will be
selected to have charge of the farm.
During the coming summer and fall
the breeding farm will be put in shape
to begin operations next spring and Com
missioner Bartlett expects to have a
/ batch of chicks ready for the pens by the
| first of next May. The Matching will be
done during March and April and al
chicks produced in incubators will be
mothered by broody bantam hens instead
of by brooders as in the case of ordinary
chicks. The birds will be about two
thirds grown when liberated in the fal
of 1927.
In view of the natural increase in tn,
number of pheasants released in the vi
cinity of Manchester, through the effort
of sportsmen of that city, it is likely tina
the legislature next winter will be asked
to make short open season the follow
ing year 1t is the belief of Commission
Ter Bartlett that an open season can b.
granted each year after the breedin!
farm is in shape to liberate 900 bird
each fall.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-William
Cooper Proeter's half million dollar con
tribution to the campaign fund of Gen.
Leonard Wood stirred fond recollectlons
here in the minds of many friends OF
President Wilson who pointed out that
another half million dollars contributed
lust 10 years ago this month in another
cause had as much to do with electlng
Woodrow Wilson to the presidency as
any other circumstance in his political
Journey to the Wife House.
Mr. Proctor gave 100000 toward the
establishments of a graduate school in
Princeton university of which Mr.. Will
son was then the president, but the
latter turned the gift down because the
! Cincinnati soap manufacturer attached
certain conditions to the expenditure OF
the money which involved the retention
| of certain personnel in the college. Mr.
Wilson argued that gifts should come
without strings attached and the mel
dent provoked such a controversy among
| Princeton alumni that it led Mr.. Wilson
i reluctantly to resign the presidency oi
i the college and accept the gubernatoria
nomination which the Democratic leaders
i in New Jersey were eager for him tC
take. Again and again that half million
dollars has been facetiously referred Il
among Princeton men as the "hrst I'm
portant contribution toward Mr.. vii
sons first campaign for the presidency
Mr. Proctor's testimony in defense o
ms expenditures for General Wood die
not create the impression that he con
tributed large sums of money for an,
selfish purpose He contributed heavil,
TO the Hughes campaign in 1916. Cross
examination on the stand rather led L
/ the conclusion of dsinterested observer
that Mr. Proctor is the kind OF Il MAJ
who was persuaded by ardent and en-
thusiastic friends of General Wood tina
he ought to use his fortune to- help ad
vance the candidacy of so vigorous
character as General Wood.
OF course the game of roping men o
wealth into political campaigns is an ar
in itself and in every case the patriot
opportunity offered to the man of mean
is emphasized rather than any suggestio
of personal advantage in the form {

has been customary for successful car
didates to the presidency not To forge
