w T HEN the greatest interns-
" tional industry, which re-
w quires s3o,oo0.00o of cap
ital to carry it on, verges on paral-
vsis it is time for its leaders TO
take counsel. This being the situa-
ton in the cotton trade, for which
the United States produces SIS per
cent of the raw material and turns
more of it into finished products
than any other nation, we have a
very lively and vital national inter-
est in the World Cotton Conference,
which is to be held in England from
June 13 to %, and which will be at
tended by more than two hundred
representative Americans.
These men will hear in blunt Ian
guage that while their fiber with its
products is sar and away the most valu-
able commodity dealt with in interna-
aoual commerce, the business of Amer
icsa raw cotton production, packing
and merchandising constitutes the most
shameful example of waste in twen-
tieth century commerce. Therefore
Americans have the strongest reasons
for following the deliberations of the
conference with keen interest
Their sojourn will be in the center
Of world trade in cotton manufactures,
where they will have forcibly borne in
upon them that if American cotton
manufacturing had been begun and
developed on plan which was in
tended to collect it's raw material and
distribute it's manufactured output at
minimum cost the hxed lost motion
that would have been obviated, as COM
pared with the prevailing systems,
would if capitalized on q 6 per cent
basis, come to an amount not far short
0f enough to rebuild every cotton fac
tory in the United States once year,
Clustering around Manchester and
shutting Liverpool, our representatives
will find giant hive Of industry, COM
prising more than a third of the
worlds spinning spindles and looms
together with full half or more of
the worlds productive capacity Of tex
tile machinery, equipment and mill
supplies. The American cannot but
carry away with him the impression
that the economies this concentration
insures has placed the English section
Of the industry in a wellknown impreg.
nable position, that is, if it's power
fully organized labor does not so ham
string the trade as to Offset the as
tendency its unparalleled trading or
ganizstion gives it. He may perchance
pick up an atlas of the world and dis
cover that England is at almost the
exact center of the worlds population
de will also find that his trade rival
has home market next in importance
and value to the great American do
mestic market, and that there is g
population of nearly half that Of the
United States, four-ffths Of which is
packed within an area about the size

Strange Fabrics

In the factories they will see q great
range of strange fabrics being woven,
cloths which constitute the every day
clothing of hundreds Of millions In the
Orient and South America, and which
our weavers have never yet ATTEMPTED
to produce, although they could easily
make them.
A day or two before our representa-
tives sail for England national con-
sultation of the American cotton grow
ers, manufacturers, distributors, bank
ers and all affiliated interests" is to be
held in New York City. The object of
the conference, as officially announced.
is ito bring together large repre-
sentative delegation Of all the different
interests of the American cotton indus
try, for the dual purpose of giving na-
tionai Significance and recognition to
cotton as the most valued asset of the
nation, and to present the results Of
such conference TO the several hundred
American delegates just prior to their
leaving for the World Cotton Confer
enee in England"
To. many people deeply interested
| in the conference and its potentiah-
ties for stabilizing a sadly disar-
ranged industry, the New York con-
sultation is. Co be regrsttably top
heavy, -Four sessions in two days have
70 carry Iorty-two set speecheS, De-
sides routine committee business,
Surely, more time might have bean
profitably set aside for real Consul
tation." One is led TO wonder when
the cotton grower will learn that he
can never be carried to prosperity on
q. food of words. Work only will win
the practical kind our representatives
will find prepared for them to tackle
in Liverpool and Manchester.
On the moot questionsof the reIa-
| tive merits Of the two countries as
cotton manufacturing centers they
may hear repeated the frank sdmissior
/ of one Of the British delegates to the
first World Conference in New Or
leans, that "If the time eyer arrives

Not Sectional Problem

Our cotton producers Will find their
spinner customers agreed that, though
cotton is a strictly regional American
product, the cotton problem is not
sectional one. Admittedly, the Ameri-
can cotton bale passes through too
many hands. and large handful of
hber is extracted from it at every
satge. These petty pilferings have
been estimated at some s1O,00o,000 a
season. Hard knocks will be given them
under the head Of Purchase and sale
Of cotton" And it may possibly dawn
upon our farmers that they have hung
their interest on the wrong horn OF
their dilemma, when they find that it
is not SO much the inability of the user
Of raw cotton to. buy and pay for it
that has brought about short time
working in the factories, and backed
enormous quantities OF cotton up on
plantations and in the warehouses Of
primary markets. 1t may come as
surprise to find that European spin
ners, or at any rate the greater num-
Der Of then,' have halted because they
cannot find customers able TO pay. for
their output. Once the ultimate con-
sumer regains his oldtime purchasing
power, and the manufacturer has
orders in hand that are reasonably
sure to be paid for when the agreed on
time for settlement arrives, ne Will not
find it very difficult to finance the
purchase Of the raw material neces-
sary to I'LL such commitments. 1t is
the poverty Of the proietariat that
blocks the normal flow of cotton into
consumption. 1t is here that the finan-
cial reconstructionist needs to apply
his energy and skill.
The American bankers and manufac-
turers will learn that there is a vast
| difference between the financing Of
lscotton mills at home and in Lancashire.
They may, perhaps, be startled at
hearing that the cotton operatives are
consistent and in the aggregate large
investors in the stocks of the mills, and
that the thrifty among them subscribe
F, literally TO new mill projects. Another
| surprise in store for the visiting fnan-
cier Is found in the legalized banking
| business carried on by nearly all the
| limited companies. The workers, as
we'll as others, deposit their savings in
''the loan accounts" Of the mills, thus
providing much Of the necessary capi-
tai; and that the common, though to
an American, novel plan Of having the
shares Of company only partially
paid up gives the corporations an un-
| usually large yet sound borrowing
| margin at the banks

MEMORIAL DAY POPPIES

The following resolutions were
adopted by the American Legion in
its second annual convention at Cleve-
land, Sept 18th, 1920:
Whereas, A movement has been in
stituted 10 adopt the poppy as the
memorial flower of the American Le-
gion throughout the nation; and,
Whereas, Out of this should come
some symbol to perpetually remind
US, and TO unfailingly teach coming
generations the value of the Light of
Liberty" and our debt to those who
helped to save it for US by paying the
supreme sacrifice, and that we may
not forget that
an Flanders field the peoples grow
Among the crosses-row on row."
therefore, be it
Resolved, By the American Legion
in convention assembled, that the
movement to have the poppy adopted
as the memorial flower of the Ameri-
can Legion be endorsed; and be it fur
ther
Resolved, That the national conven-
ton adopt the poppy as the official
memorial flower of the American Le-
gion.
Note: By action of the national ex-
ecutive committee the poppy should
be worn on Memorial" or "Decora-
ton Day" and not on Armistice Day.
The above resolution is taken YER
batim from the summary of conven-
ton proceedings, page q.
Madame E. Guerin. whose speech at
Cleveland led to the adoption of the
resolution, has had millions of silk
poppies made by French widows and
orphans for the coming Memorial
Day. Thes are being distributed by

League, of which Col. Robert H. Tyn-
dali is treasurer; and the proceeds are
being returned to France through ac-
credited channels for the relief of the
widows and orphans.

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?

Does advertising pay! That question i. asked by business men about much as any other which comes up concerning business. The answer is qualified. Advertising does pay and it doesn't Into those two classes adycr- tising may be divided.
 The business man has habit of buying both kinds of advertising the one because it is a business investment and essential to the in crease of his volume of business the other be- cause he wants to help some fellow out who has the advertising to sell.
 But the business man does not consider both kinds separately in summing up to answer the question, "Docs advertising pay?' He con Siders both kinds in lump sum. Often the answer is "Advcrtising does not pay"
 The same consideration should be given the advertising department of the newspaper that k given to any other legitimate business. A great many people give their advertising to fine paper as they give aIms to the poor-as a charitable proposition. Tines" pcopl" do not care whether their ads have attention or not Their idea is that il is just so much thrown away anyway and that they cant be bothered with u. They are passing up one of thc best investments in business. It has been proved by advertising experts that ads written right and set up right reach the people, and big business firms are paying advertising writers a~ high as $75,000 year to handle their ad- Vrrtsing.
 If you want your advertising to pay, follow the example of these men by giving your ad vcrtising a little personal attention, get away from the idea that advertising in the papers k a contribution to a good cause and wal, your results. They will come faster than you have any idea. Save the money that you hay" formerly put into programs, menus, booklets and whatnots and put it into legitimate advrr- tising that counts Then at the end of the year you will be surprised at the saving you have made and the results that you have sc surcd. You will also be surprised at the ad- vance that the paper will make as an asset to. the community.

ABOUT CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE

President Harding k a member of the Cham Der of Commerce in his home town, Marion Oho Here is what he says about the Cham Der of Commerce idea:
 "I do not know that eyer asked myself why joined the Chamber of Commerce, but assume thatt was because l was in the news paper business committed to the policy of everlasting boosting our home town, and we looked upon d Chamber of Commerce as the best organized agency for carrying on the work.
 ''lf | were to dsaSsociatc myself from Dh" newspaper business l should assume WouId h" attracted to d Chamber of Commerce, be- cause business is the life blood of material rN- istcncr and no community is worth while unless it k very alert to business progress and great CT commercial development
 "I know something of the inspiring work which is done by the live secretaries of th" Chamber of Commerce. throughout the couu- try. They are eyer pushing forward with such zc ;0;t they take great community of bus mess with them. like to think that the thing which boosts the community is certain to mak" progress for the nation, and l should like our country to head th" list of commercial nations of the carth."
