RuSt0n Has Big Day

Ruston, March 25.-"It was the best
convention ever held along the Pershing
Way" says General Manager Herbert
F. McDougal, in an interview prior to
leaving for Cedar Falls, Iowa. "The
serious way in which the delegates at
tackled the business of the association
and the determination behind their
plans, convince me that the association
Of Louisiana will function with unusual
efficiency. Men Of the highest abilities
were elected to office and appointed On
the committees, and they are all thor
oughly imbued with the immensely o.
the P. w. idea and the responsibilities
assumed. RustOn was unusually grac.
ious in its entertainment Of the con-
vention and in personal attentions to
the visitors. and | am sure made a
most agreeable and abiding impression
upon them"

HOW TO VALUE IMPORTS.

1t is quite natural for the experts
who are figuring over the Fofdney
tariff bill to be somewhat perturbed
as to the value to be placed on i'm
ports from foreign countries.
The world has not yet settled down
either commercially or industrially,
and not only the cost of manufactures
vary in other countries, but the rate
of exchange also has something to do
with the cost of production The Ger
mans claim to be producing goods
more cheaply than any other coun-
try because wages have not risen in
Germany to the extent they have in
other countries, and thir exchang is
lower.
The German mark is worth in gold
about one tenth of it's par value, and
the French franc is off one third.
exchange is off nearly one
half. This means that laborer in
these countries is receiving a depre-
ciated currency, and therefore the
cost of goods manufactured abroad is
worth to that extent less, even if
measured in American money, and
if the value is fixed in American
it would represent a hand
some profit to the foreign manufac-
turer.
So quite naturally the cost of for
eign goods, and the fixing of their
value at our ports Of entry is puzzling
our tariff experts.

The spinner will say. "If you will
keep your cotton and sell me
months supply at the time, l will
be willing to pay you better price
for your cotton, and since you have
the cotton he would be compelled TO
pay your price or go without.
You would say, if you had been
thrifty, and raised your living and
taken care of the proposition as you
should have done in the past, Il
have my bread and meat, and l have
some money in the bank to carry me
next year, and 1 will let you have
1 900 bales month and if necessary,
if you can do better than 20 cents,
will let you have $50 bales a week
to run your factory, and you can
pay me cash for that amount as you
take it," Don't you see that ar
!rangement is far better than placing
yourselves in the hands of the
spinner and speculator?
Every other organization in the
world handles its business in this
way. The producer of the goods
fixes the price wherever possible and
why not the farmer?

APPEAL FROM MERCHANTS
OF FOUNTAIN.

Dear Sir:
Realizing the stringent financial
condition of every class of citizen
and business institution. we the Mer-
chants Protective Association OF
Fountain, N. c., are issuing this ap-
peal for the advice and consideration
of our customers.
We are now approaching the har-
vest season and it is vitality necessary
that every one should harvest as
economically and carefully as poss-
ible, handling their crops with care
and judgment, in order that they
may sell for the highest possible
price, since it is evident prices will
be low, and every one will need all
that he can get for his crops. BY
proper care and handling tobacco
and cotton, both will bring very much
more money.
1t will be necessary for the mer-
chants to collect their accounts this
fall and winter. We all had poor
collections last year and many had
to get their Northern creditors, to
carry over a part of their obligations,
and have had to borrow and buy on
credit to extend the Accommodations
that we have made to our customers
this year. In consideration OF this
unusual favor by our Northern cred
itors it is necessary for us to pay
them as promptly as possible.
We will be dependent upon our
customers to meet the said debts and
we are asking our customers to make
payments as their crops are sold. BY
your faithful carrying out the above
request, you will not only materially
assist your merchants; and banks,.
but will place them in a. better posi-
ton to help you in the future.
Faithfully yours,

COOPERATIVE MARKETING

1t seems there is some misunder-
standing regarding the purposes as
we'll as the plans of the organiza-
tion behind the movement for COOP
erative marketing. The plan, how
ever, is simple, and a little study
should make it clear to every one.
The purpose of cooperative mar
keting is to hold crops until the
price reaches a fair value as fixed by
the organization. The dumping Of
any commodity on the market, no
matter what it is, will lower the
price. The farmer should under
stand that he etwould not pay more for
anything than he could buy it for,
and that he would hold off the mar
ket if he thought there would be
decline, and so why blame others for
what he would do himself?
The cotton mills cannot spin all
the cotton made in twelve months in
one month, and if they have to buy
it, and borrow money to carry it,
they will have to pay storage, and
interest on the money borrowed. Be-.
sides if they buy it higher than their
