 Everything will be conducted fairly and above board.

way may be found before then to start
something that may be OF value in in
crcasing the city's population and

incidentally, it might be said, that
the Chamber OF Commerce has room
for more members. 1t can use the
money and services Of many more. The
membership committee would not be
embarrassed if many would volunteer
their subscriptions rather than wait to

The Chamber OF Commerce can do
much good with dues alone, but it can

terday by C. c. Moser, OF Dallas, Texas,
secretary of American Cotton Growers
Exchange, who arrived in Columbia
for stay OF five days
Mr. Moser said that the War FL

Texas and Oklahoma associations
which have already begun, business
having furnished them over $40
100000 and that the bankers Of the
two states are also cooperating. He
declared that the bankers, large and
small, and the farmers are we'll de-
lighted thus far with the results
Since my visit TO the Southeast
in which was included principally the
States OF Georgia, Alabama, and South
Carolina said Mr.. Moser, II am con-
tident that the movement for the CO
operative marketing association will
be as popular and will command the
interest and respect Of merchants and
bankers as it has in the South west
1t is not necessary, however, to go as
far as the Southwest in order to dem
onstrate the attitude Of all classes of
our people towards the cooperative
marketing of cotton.
THE neighboring State to the
north has just completed its organiza-
, ton with more than 175000 bales
pledged for period of FIVE years, while
Mississippi, representing another class
OF cotton producers. completed it's or
ganization in the early stages OF the
South-wide campaign with more than
100000 bales.
1T Is now a we'll known and VIC
recognized fact that there is no diff
ference between the cotton growers
OF any portion of the South with re-
gard to their attitude towards join
ing these cooperative marketing asso-
ciatlons They are now signing the
contracts in practically all the cotton
producing states and satisfactory pro
gress is being made everywhere that
systematic methods are being used in
the sign-up campaign. 1t now remains,
however, for the Southwestern states
together with Mississippi to demon
strate the actual, practical operation
OF the plan. Texas and oklahoma to-
gethcr have 100000 bales signed. of
which Oklahoma. has 100000 and Texas
100000, Thcy are both receiving cot

WHAT'S WHAT
BY HTLEN DErIE

Frosty manners are bad manners. The
frig.d demeanor is the mark OF snob
or of a Climber" who Is habitually
afraid Of being polite to somebody who
may turn out to be mot worth while"
after all. Nothing Is more comical than
the sudden change which comes over
these tufthunters when a parsonage OF
known social importance comes on the
scene. Then the frost melts instantly
into gushing servility which is as re-
pulsive to It's object Of homage as It Is
amusing to the spectators.
Well-bred men and women are sure
of themselves, and they do not fear to
be genial to people whose pedigrees they
have not examined and of whose finan.
cial rating they are unaware. They
have not two sets Of manners; they
are uniformly courteous and considerate
of the feelings of others, whether those
others are street.sweepers or plutocrats.

After-Dinner Tricks

A handful Of coins are shown in the
left hand. The right hand removes a
dime from the pile, rubs 1t gently and
causes It to dissolve into thin air.
Among the coins in the left hand
there is only one dime. This coin Is
apparently removed by the right hand,
but in reality 1t is slipped under a
larger coin, say quarter or half dol =
lar. AS the dime is no longer visible
among the left hand coins, every one
takes It for granted that 1t Is in the
right. Thus the disappearance Of the
dime creates considerable surprise.
