ket their cotton through the American
Cotton Growers Association and in Sc
curing the necessary pledges. Mr..
Mercer and his associates have worked
caddo Parish and are this week just
beginning the work in this parish. The
two parishes to join in the movement
must pledge to sell through the associa-
tion GOO bales Of cotton. Caddo has
already pledged upward of 1000 bales
from it's next years crop, and the out
look to secure the necessary number Of
hales is flattering. In fact, Mr.. Mer-
Ger says it can easily be done within
the next week or SO.
The salvation OF better prices for the
cotton farmer for the future, according
to Mr.. Mercer, lies only in cooperative
marketing. The plan has been fully
tried out In the marketing of other sta
pie crops and has in all instances
proved xnccessuful. The big object lies
in avoiding Cutting the market when
the crop Is first coming in-October
and Novenber-as MIR. Mercer pointed
out to the reporter, further claiming
that the three million bales now being
marketing comparatively through the
association is what is keeping the price
up and that under old conditions the
price would likely he much less.
In this issue Of the Banner there ap-
pears an advertisement calling atten-
tfon to two public meetings to be held
in fhn rna rich novf Monday tha Qfh-
at the Court House, in Benton, at ten
O'Clock am. and ut the Picture Hall, In
Plain Dealing, at 2:3O pm. At these
two meetings the cooperative merket-
Ing plan will be fully explained. A full
attendance at the two meetings is to be
desired and 1t is also hoped that many
pledges of cotton from the 1923 crop
,, will result According to the promo
ters. it is the one way for the cotton
farmer to get for his crop what it is
worth. Let's try it out.

ROME, Feb. IA thousand Amer

the American college for tickets to
the coronation Of Pope Plus. but the
allotment by the Vatican to the coll
lege only amounts to 500; thus 700
Americans are securing Rome in an
effort to obtain tickets for tomor-
rows historic event. Tickets have
been offered by various spectators
at 100 lire each.
Monsignor SAME de Samper, papal
chamberlain, finds himself in serious
conflict with various high officials of
the pontifical household because of
his inability TO satisfy the demands
for tickets. The secretary of states

only 1S0, then several important per-
sons were refused admission 10 the
chanberlain's office in the major

Cardinal Tacci sent a messenger to
request tickets, but it is reported
ssalaat the messenger was turned abb
ruDtly away from the entrance. Some
of the families of the Roman aris-
tocracy were also confronted by
either leaving the Vatican premises
or being escorted out by gendarmes.
Following the announcement that
the pope had been decorated with the
White Eagle of Poland, it is learned
that his holiness also wears the high

The expert says that the handwrlt-
ing reveals a superior spirit OF Sc
renity, clearness and sincerity; that
there are notable indications OF men

spirit of authority. The writing
shows a person OF great distinction

quality.

Shipping Board Official
Says Federal Aid Will
Enable Marine To Meet
Foreign Rate Reductions
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wlrel

NEW YORK. Feb. 11.-Preserva-
tion Of the American merchant ma
rine by federal aid as means OF
preventing other nations from cor
nering the worlds commerce was
urged by Edward c. Plummer COM
missioner OF the shipping board, in
an address before the National Re
publican club today.
He pointed out, that. whereas on
the year ending September 20, 1920,
ships owned in this country carried
81 per cent of Americas ocean
freight, they only carried so per cent
in the last fiscal year.
"The foreigner has taken from US
the bulk of our ocean carrying busl-
ness, he said. BY reducing the rates,
he said. the only way we can regain
that which we have lost is by en-
abling ships to make rates lower than
the foreign ships can meet.
EVERY time the ocean rate on car
goes is reduced it means lower cost
to put on all goods imported. but II
also enables the exported goods OF
Americans to be delivered in foreign
markets at cheaper price than
would otherwise be possible, thus ir-
creasing our markets there and Civ
ing increased employment to work
men of this country"
Federal aid would make 1t pos
sible for the shipping board and pri-
vate owners to underbid foreign COM
petition" he asserted. "This, in turn,
would cause billions OF dollars worth
of American owned vessels to return
to normal value, would enable the
board to dispose of its property at
more nearly its cost to them ana
would firmly establish the American
flag in the ports of the world.
TT is a plain business proposition,
he continued. I'VE have the ships.
The Investment is there. We have
the power at comparatively moderate
cost to make those ships valuable
asset. If the millions of dollars which
these ships now are causing TO be
sperlt-nfost of it in caring for tied
I'D ships which are steadily decreas-
ing in value-could be diverted TO
the direct assistance Of these same
ships. the net result would be- a real
decrease In actual cost and the crea-
ton and maintenance Of a privately
owned merchant marine OF inestim :
