SOUTH DOOMED TO DISASTER.

The Memphis Cotton Acreage Com
mittee has issued the following let
ter:
Cotton has declined in value until
there is loss of more than $1,000
100000 ON the 1920 crop. Cotton, the
South's chief commodity has ceased
TO be a cash article. Quoted values
are far below the cost of production.
There is little demand for cotton at
prices even below quotations. The
prospects for increased production
are not hopeful. There is now enough
cotton to last nearly two years at
the pre-war normal rate of consump-
tioa.
English spindles are operating only
cwenfy-four hours a week. Domestic
consumption is far below normal. In
Europe there are 100000 less

than ten percent since 1914. If this

favored ore. Swanson, of Nebraska,
placed at end on the second selection,
and Pucelik. also of Nebraska, was
awarded n position at tackle on the
third eleven. Slater, another Iowa
man. placed at tackle on the second
team.
Camp evened things up however, be-
tween the east and west, by picking
Muller, of California, to play an end
position on the first eleven. Muller
was chosen last year by Camp for an
end position on the third eleven
Middle-western football enthusiasts
will rage at the neglect of Hartley,

was instrumental in putting over a
Pittsburgh defeat at the hands of Ne

fume and fret at the shameful treat

But, Camps reputation is that he
agrees with no one, and no one ques-
tions the big mans word when he
picks three elevens.
In Camps Football Honor Roll, he
seemingly puts forward an endeavor
to honor someone from every school
in the country.
But he forgot Kansas university.

The honored Stove League entered
into the discussion of Camps pick
with fervency unequaled to date.
Inc unanimous opinion seemed to
be that Camp was slightly off his
