This is a dubious and doubtful day
and for that reason is a time to
rest and to relax, according to as
trology. Uranus, Neptune and Mars
are all adverse.
The aspect of Uranus is read as
encouraging to scepticism and an
alysis that will be unfavorable to
the churches.
The stars again presage religious
oissensions and sectarian troubles
that assume political significance.
PreJudice and intolerance may
tnwart public policies that would
oenent education and industry.
neptune is In a place that is be-
neVed to forecast epidemics and
stress Is put upon the need of clean
liness in cities. There should be
special attention to sanitation at
this time when fevers seem to be
imminent.
Quarrels and Misunderstanding
may have far-reaching effect while
this conjunction prevails.
Military matters are subject to a
RUE OF Mars that is interpreted as
exceedingly sinister.
Riots and troubles that seem to
require force in their settlement are
foreshadowed.
The seers declare that the world
must study International problems
with the recognition Of brotherly
love as the great power that is to
assure peace in the world.
Men who have been in the thrall
OF selnshness have done more than
merely to oppress the weak, ac-
cording to psychics, for they have
spread the sinister Influence to all
classes Of men and women.
Persons whose birthdate It Is

cided to make one suggestion to your
ASSOCIATION and TO tire people OF the
South, and 4 hope they viii realize
that in making this suggestion l do it
on account of my intense interest
and earnest desire to see the people
of the South receive the benefits to
which they are entitled as a result of
their control of the production Of
cotton. -
1922 Plan Wise.
( The action taken at your annual
convention at Birmingham on acreage
control, limiting the production in
1929 to the same acreage as the pres
|ent year, and the cooperative mar
keting of cotton and other products,
lis a wise one. Now here is my sug-
gestion, and / ask that everyone in
terested in solutionof this problem
give it most earnest consideration
because / am convinced if it is adopt
ed it will bring you great benefits.
The cost of producing cotton has
enormously increased on account of
the decrease in the production per
acre due to the boil weevil ravages.
and producing cotton under these
conditions is largely a gamble. Why
produce cotton below the cost of
production? If the farmers who are
financially able to do so instead of
planting or permitting to be planted
an acre of cotton on their lands in
1892, planting these cotton lands in
food and feed crolS-will purchase
the amount of cotton that they

way.
The work of your organization
should make powerful appeal to
the people interested in the upbuild-
ing of our citizenship. our agriculture
and our commerce throughout the
entire nation. and there is no ques-
|tion but shat today your association
as a result of its accomplishments
has the outstanding endorsement and
support of the leaders in the various
lines of agriculture and commerce
throughout the nation.
Had the peopleeof the South Dump
ed their cotton upon the market DUR
ing the last IL to ID months, the
result to every line of business not
only@in the South, but throughout the
entire nation, would have been dis
astrous. Exports were closed and as
result of the artificial defiation pol
icy, business was dormant. We ex-
port two-thirds of the cotton crop,
and with conditions existing at home,
there was practically no market for
cotton, except in very limited way.
Therefore, had an attempt been made
toFsell cotton, it would have gone
without a price and it would have
been impossible even to borrow
money upon it.
Value of Acreage Drive.
Your acreage reduction cam
paign in 1921 has brought tremen-
|dous benefits. not only to the people
of the South, but to the business IN
lterests Of the entire nation. Had
you produced large cotton crop in
ld9f2, with conditions as described
above, God aiona knows to what
extent the disaster would have ex-
tended.

course. Your cotton so purchased

smaller financial outlay than the cost
of producing cotton. Then, you
avoid the risk of crop failure. Also,
in addition to this, as the price is
below the cost of production, why
plant cotton? Even if you produce

Mr,rJ~E .s.W annamaker, Pres. ~

Dear Mr.. Wannamaaker:-
have watched with closest in
terest the movement started since the
commencement of The Weird War in
1914, which finally resulted in the or
ganization of the American Cotton
Association. AS result of almost
sixty years OF personal experience in.
the handling of cotton and a long
study of the cotton and long study
of the cotton question, realize
thoroughly the vital necessity for re=
form in the handling and marketing
of the American cotton crop, and
that the cotton producers. of America
and friendly interests have never re-
ceived from the production of cotton
in the South one-thousand,fold the
benefits they are justly entitled tos
However, I did not anticipate that
il would be possible to accomplish the
wonderful benefits which have come
as a result of3the work of the Ameri-
can Cotton Association. Most assur-
edly the benefits already accomplish
ed should result in securing for YOU
financial suppoat aAfom merchants,
bankers and business men of the
South that. would assure the perma-
nency of thissgreat organization. In
addition to this the benefits you are
bringing are ngtfou-wide. There,
fore, there can be no question but
that the business men in the great
commercial centers outside of the
cotton belt will subscribe financially
to the support of your association SO
as to enable it to greatly enlarge its
activities and assure it's perpetuity.
A National Product.
| have always contended that it
was crime to treat Cotton as d sec
tional product. It should be, handled
as the greatest product of the nation,
d national produce, and national
asset of the greatest value. Cotton
has never brought a fair price to the
people of the South or the people of
the nation and everyone Interested
in the development of our nation
would feel it. their duty to. assist in
the work which your association : is
conducting and to have the handling
and marketing of cotton placed upof,

Spencer, bicycle champion Of America,

Spencer won the first heat by riding
from in front. Kramer tried to get
around him but failed. In the second
heat Kramer rode from the front, and
although Spencer put up o. hard fight
he was unable to get around Kramer.
The third heat was the greatest battle
of them all, when, half lap from

speed, sprinted around Spencer and
easily beat him to the tape.
Peter Moeskops, the big Hollander,
took two out of three heats of mile

League in Battles

Pirates and Giants Lead
Rivals; Yanks and Indians
Set Pace i'm American

AT the quarter post Of the major
league baseball races two teams Of each
league have outsteadied the other
clubs. The Pittsburgh and New York
Nationals and the Cleveland and New
| York Americans are fighting for their
respective league leaderships, while the
other twelve combinations are lowering
near or below the 200 mark.
Detroit is only three games behind
the Yankees, but the Tigers, who have
lost five Of their last nine games with
the second division Chicago and Phila-
delphia teams, are not following the
pace Of the leading clubs. Cleveland
yesterday won it's seventh straight
game.
In the National League Pittsburgh is
displaying first signs of faltering. The
Pirates dropped their first series Of tho
season to Cincinnati, which took three
games out Of four The Reds, who
over that of their trip in the East, were
forced into extra innings in two Of the
contests.
New York's heavy batting is keeping
it in the race. The Giants face a long
road tour, while Pittsburgh will have
an advantage in playing at home. The
other National teams are batting well,
but, with the exception of Philadelphia
and Cincinnati, the pitching is not very
effective.
In the American League Cleveland
has uncovered another winning streak.
The Indian pitchers disposed Of Boston
with q total of three runs for three
games last week, and in the St. Louis
series the Indian batsmen came
through with needed hits when their
