Booming cotton prices were in
terpreted today by high Govern
ment officials to mean the real
start of a business revival upon a
pernanent basis. Officials whose
words count said that business is
now definitely in the stage Of re-
vival. and that prosperity is the
next stage of the process OF re-
adjustment. .~-.- =. .
Harding Forecasts Revival.
Governor w. p. q. Harding. of the
Federal Reserve Board, and. Eugene
Meyer, jr., managing director of the
War Finance Corporation, Joined to-
day In optimistic forecasts Of better
business. -I
In cotton as in other products,
we are getting back to the old law
OF supply and demand" said Gov.
ernor Harding.
''The recent change in the demand
Tor raw cotton and cotton goods is
Q fact Of fundamental Importance
with far-reaching importance to the
whole country" Director Meyer
said.
Behind these terse observations, is
the belief of sound financial vision,
that a revival in one of the lead
ing staple crops Of the United States
affects vitality all other industries.
They sense a reduction in unemploy-
ment, a liquidation of outstanding
loans. a quickening in the movement
of money in different channels, and
perhaps most important of all, the
stimulating effect which a rise In
values In one commodity line will
Influence a rise in other directions.
Rift In Pessimism Needed.
I, 'If there Is a cessation, for q brief
time, in this pessimism over the
country" Governor Harding said,
I'VE would have no depression. Fun
damentally and basicaIiy, AZ shown
by the figures OF the Federal Reserve
Banks, this situation Is going to
work out all right.
Director Meyer predicted that the
rise in cotton values and stimulated
demand would at once operate to
speed up activity in other directions,
and reduce unemployment. lie thus

'sThirteen cotton States, with y
population of $4,000, 900 whose buy

will be able to hquidate their frozen

clear the debt with which 1t has been
struggling. Business, in buying aud
selling, will be restored. We can

ALL MEMBERS MUST STICK
Fiye.Year Plan of Cotton Marketing System a Good One.

Little Rock, Sept, 6.-(SpeciaD - "The five-year feature of the contract of the Arkansas Cotton Growers Co., operative Association is absolutely es- sential for it's success" is the opinion | of Major H. T. Brown, manager of the | Association.
 Some of the farmers who have not | yet signed contracts to market their
 cotton through the Association hesi- tate in joining, because of the fact that the contract stipulates that they
 must market all their cotton through the Association for five years.
 1 ''The reasons for this five-year, iron clad contract are obvious. One is to insure that all the members stick.
 Another is to make it certain that Ithe association will have a definite
 number of bales to sei1, so that it can
 make good contracts with the mills over a period of years. It is quite evil dent that the mills are not going to make a contract with the association unless they are assured that the As sociation will have certain definite amount of cotton to sell ach year. Warehouses cannot be built and finan- ced unless it is assured that the As Esociation will have certain definite amount of cotton to sell each year, Warehouses cannot be built and fina- need unless it is assured that the as- sociation will have cotton to handle for many years. Good salesmen can-
 not be hired unless they are assured of permanent jobs"
 ''The necessity for an iron-clad con- tract is plain. The Association must be thoroughly and efficiently organiz- ed. It must be assured of continuing for enough years to make the proposi- tion thoroughly worth while"
 Some farmers have asked why they Fcannot sign up to sell only part of their crop through the association The answer should be quite apparent. In order to succeed, cooperation must be full and complete Why should any member have the privilege of selling half his crop through the as- sociation and the other half to a spec ulator to the injury of the association"

Kinder Garten Teacher Wanted

A number of citizens whose children are not quite six years old, but will be before mid term, have expressed a desire to have a teacher give their children private instructionn for a few months. This is fine opportunity for some one to render valuable service and incidentally earn some money. As stated before. our primary department lis crowded. We are running with two teachers less this year than last, Because of this large number in the first grade, the Board has ruled that children who are not six at the open ing will not be admitted till mid term. We believe that our patrons will see the reasonableness of this require ment, and will appreciate the fact that we are trying to serve everybody to the best of our ability.-W. N. Pitt man, Supt.

IFOOdstuff Scarcity Is Just Ahead

1 With wheat crop 3O,OO,0 900 bushels less than that of 1920 and 74,0o0, 600 bushels short of the average of the lsiye-year period from 1915 to 1913; With an oat crop nearly 100000 600 bushels short of last year, and 30,- 900 900 bushels short of the average of the five years 1915-1919, and with an enormous shortage in white pota- toes, in peaches and apples and veg etables, we are certain to face grow ling scarcity of foodstuffs. This will be especially emphasized by reason of the enormous exportation of wheat and corn to Europe. The country will enter the next wheat crop season prac- tically bare of all surplus stock as compared with the amount we should carry over. It becomes especially important, therefore, that there should be a large increase in wheat acreage I this fall and the south especially Ineeds to learn the supremely import ant lesson of preparing for larger acreage in wheat and oats and other food producing crops, with a still greater decrease in tte acreage or cotton for next season. E
 It would have been great bless | ing to the South if it had cut it's cot in, ha1f and fha h1l- ance in foodstuffs. What we failed to do this year must of necessity be dcne next year unless the south again is to suffer from food shortage and from too much cotton,
 Plans for increased food products must be undertaken immediately. It is the bounden duty of every busi- ness man in the south-banker, mer- chant and manufacturer--to do his utmost to encourage the farmers of his section to prepare for great in
 crease in food production, and i'll the raising of hogs, chickens and yege- tables, in order that the south may live at home next year, regardless
 of the price which foodstuffs may command. The time to prepare for safety next year is at the present mo ment. and not a moment is to be lost, for wheat seeding must be under way early this fall or it will be too late Ito meet next years inevitable scar ty.--Manufacturer's Record (Balti- more.)

GERMANY TO MAKE
 GOOD HUGE DAMAGE
Must Supply Building Material Worth Billion Dollars to { France.

Paris, Sept 3.-The delivery to France by the German government of 7C0O,000.O0O gold marks worth of building material within three years is provided for by the recent agree ment between Louis Loucheur, French minister of the liberated regions, and Walter Rathenau, German minister of reconstruction, details of which were made public today.
 The transaction will be handled by two companies, one to be organized by Germany and the other by France, each to be under government control. but to allow participation by soma private capital, the Germany company | to look after the assembling of ma- terial ordered by the French con- panies at the shipping points. Trans rortation and delivery by the Ger man company at suitable terminals and on suitable dates also is provid- cd for, payment to be made to the manufacturers out of German govern ment bonds issued especially for this rnrpose. The French company will take thd material and sell it in the open market exclusively for rebuild irg northern France, The French gov ernment will take care not to cut prices telow reasonable competition with l s,,{o hinh strongly opposed to Germany's sup plying material to the detrinent of French manufacturing firms
 Opposition Likely.
 1 It is likely that the agreement will meet with some criticism when it cor.ea up for ratification by the FrencE Chamber of Deputies. 1t is generally believed that the German goyernmert leaders will argue that tGe Loucheur-Rathenau agreement Is strongly for the national interest be- cause it will enable Germany to meet it's reparations payments largely by materials instead of being obliged to find cash securities in foreign mar kets on falling exchange rate.
 Herr Rsthenau's main argument was that if Germany were compelled to continue cash payments under the same international exchange condi- tions as those she encountered while paying the first billion marks, she would be forced enevitably to default probably not later than next July. The mark, which already has decreased in )yalue since the recent London agree ment, is likely to fall to a point where it will have no more. exchange value abroad it was argued by Herr Rath- enau
