ers toward cooperative marketing as

plight is nation wide. There has been
notable progress in the development
of such associations, some conspicu
ously successful ones being in opera

also been some disastrous failures
among these ventures in cooperative
marketing, which is the inevitable &C

WAGES HERE AND
ABROAD

THE American factory worker is
receiving wages the purchas-
ing power of which is above the
wages paid in any other country of
the world. The British Ministry of
Labor has made a computation of
the amount of food which the
wages of workers in different cities
of the world will purchase. In
the following table the purchasing
power of wages in London is taken
as 100, and the purchasing power
of wages in other cities is shown
as percentages of this figure The
table indicates that the worker in
New York can buy more than
twice as much food with his wages
than can the worker in London,
while the worker in Berlin or
Vienna can buy only little more
than half as much with his daily
wage as the worker in London,
or only one-fourth as much as the
worker in New York.

Associate says:
Case and, effect are operative IN

they are in every other business enter
prise. An association will not neces
sarily succeed or fail merely because
it is a cooperative association, but be-
cause it conforms to or transgresses
from the underlying principles of sue
cessful business operation. The move
ment itself is Of great national import
and the bankers of the country can
materially aid or retard its progress.
The responsibility of leadership in
rural communities rests very largely
with the country banker. 1t is his
duty to be informed on all matters re-

This is a very technical point,
Marion, and varies in different parts
of the United States. In certain
sections a woman takes to herself
the right to invite gentlemen to call
upon her, while in other localities 1T
is the custom for the man to ask
permission and the woman to grant
it. There is, however, an unwritten
law in the code against young lady
asking a man to call ON the first
meeting. Far better to wait till a
second, or even third, meeting and
then say something like this:
~ should be very glad to see you,
Mr.. Brown, we are usually at home
In the evening" .-..--.

Though it seems, this assumption
might be correct, it is not. A man
should always walk on the side near
est to the curb, whether he is with
one, two or three persons, this rule
has no exception. The origin Of this
rule on Etiquette, like many others.
we do not know, but probably it was
the possibility Of a horses nose or
automobile humping those nearest
the curb that ruled that man, the
protector, as well as provider,
should take that place.
DEAR A. LEDA: If a woman meets
man at a tea or dance, may she in
vite him to call at her home or
should she wait for him to suggest
it? Whose place is it to speak
first?
Thank you,

Before me / have a letter from
a reader and though my readers ar
gument is very plausible, it is, how
ever, incorrect. The letter reads as
follows:
DEAR A. LEDA: Will you kindly adj
wise through this paper the correct
position of a gentleman walking
with a lady as regards being be-
tween her and the curb and be-
tween her and others walking on
the walk. l contend the man should
be on the woman's left, thus keeping
himself between her and the passers-
by.
Yours very truly,

COTTON SCARS 0N
 FEAR IF SHORTAGE
Buying Orders Pour In From EveryWhere-MilIs May
 Have To Close

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-Buying or ders poured into the cotton market from all quarters today, but chiefly from mill interests, who were much alarmed over their supplies for the coming season. Prices as a result with the exception of only slight re- actions. moved steadily upward all day, closing a- the top and i15 to I27 points net higher.
 This represented about s17.50 a bale advance since the recent govern ment report reduced it's crop estimate to only 1o.25o,o00 bales and today's prices were at the highest levels since 1920.
 A feature of todays business was the large volume of trade or mill buying. Europe also was heavy buyer. In all departments of the cotton market. both raw and manu- factured, there appeared to be gen eral apprehension over the question of supplies this season, in view of the recent government forecast of yield approximating only 10,25 900 bales on top of three other smsrl crops. Not Enough To Go Around.
 Eithef, there must be widespread curtailn.ent to balance the reduced crop, market observers said, or there would not be enough cotton to go around. and mills would be forced to close. Business In cloth markets showed some improvement today; heretofore they waited to respond to the jump in raw cotton on the ground

Evans Whereabouts Are Unknown

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 7,-Dismissal of peace warrants against three high officials of the Ku llux Klan. fol- lowed by a joint statement by the three declaring there was no truth m the charge of Dr. Fred E. Johnston, klap chief, that he had reason to fear for his life and the lives of other klan officials failure to locate Imperial Wizard H. w. Evans, against whom a fourth peace warrant has been issued by Dr. Johnston, and con- tinued silence of Philip F. Fox were outstanding developments of the day following the shooting Monday eve ming of Captain w. s. Coburn, klan attorney, by Fox.
 Warrants against H. K. Ramsey, imperial kligraff; Brown Harwood, imperial klazik, and T. J. Mckinnon, head of the klan investigation de- partment were dismissed when Dr. Johnston failed to appear against them in court. The warrant against Wizard Evans remains unserved and local authorities have no clue to his whereabouts.
 While Solicitor General Boykin hurried his investigation of the kill ing of Coburn with the view of opening Fox's trial early next week. no statement was forthcoming from Fox or his wife today regarding their plans for defense. It is understood Mrs. Fox has conferred with several attorneys but no announcement of retention of counsel was made to- day.

GOv. WAL TON LOSES IN FEDE RAJ COURT
Impeachment Trial To Open Tomorrow Despite His Ef-
 forts To Stop It

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Nov. IT, (By Associated ss.J-Gov. J. c. Walton lost today in his effort to ob- tain federal intervention to stop his impeachment trial. and his attorneys tonight were preparing to go for ward with the trial tomorrow before the state senate court Of in-peach- ment.
 Judge John s. Cottcral in United States district court at Lawton de- nied the executives application for restraining order against the parties and others alleged to have been in- strumental in developing the pro ceedings. He granted a re-hearing, however, upon application of counsel for the governor. for which he will set date later.
 Simultaneous with the hearing at Lawton, Governor Walton, through impeachment here and entered a plea of not guilty to each of the 22 charges in the impeachment bill. He made detailed answer to five of the charges. The answers to remaining charges will be heard tomorrow morning and and the actual trial is to start at 1:So p. IT..
 Loses Last Chance.
 The action by Judge Cotteral Is be- lieved to have removed all possibility. of a delay in the opening of the trial. His decision not to take action was based on lack of Jurisdiction.
 The court declined to consider a motion by George Short, state attor- ney general, to dismiss Governor Walton's bill of complaint. aId arsu- ment was heard directly on the bill. Counsel for both sides confined them selves, almost wholly to a detailed recital of precedents embodied in su- preme court decisions.
 Governor Walton sought a writ of subpoenas by which witnesses would be summoned for hearing on charges that he will not be tried fairly by the senate court of inn peachment and that the in-pea chment charges are the result of Ku KluX Klan conspiracy participated in by the state legislature. He also asked a restraining order and requested that it be made permanent if testi- mony adduced at the hearing pro- vided a basis.
 Q O O
 Sees "Sinister InfIuence."
 H. B. Martin of Tulsa of counsel for the governor referred to the "s'nis- ter influence of the ku KluX Kan" and charged that the organization Is preventing the executive from having an impartial trial in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the United States constitution. The amendment provides that all shall have equal protection of the law"
 Counsel opposing the executives action based their argument on the alleged lack of Jurisdiction, declaring that the impeachment case is now before the highest judicial tribunal of the state,' and that no other court Is powered to intervene

CAREFUL DRIVING SLOGAN IS SOUGHT
Automobile Club Offers Prize For Best One Sub
 mitted

For the best wording for the Auto mobile clubs sign in the campaign to bring about more careful driving, a prize of $25 will be given.
 Angus Taylor of the Birmingham Hide and Tallow company has given the Automobile club the use of the east wall of his plant, space some 40 feet high and nearly 200 feet long. It is in plain view of all west bound traffic on the First avenue viaduct, and from many other advantageous points, and when painted will be one of the largest signs in the south.
 MT. Taylor has rejected a nun Der of advantageous business offers for the space in his interest in the clubs campaign to reduce motor car and other vehicular accidents in the city.
 There will be no effort on the part of the Automobile club, Nil. Bosworth said, to strive for anything original or freak!sh. It is immaterial if workings are submitted that have been in use since the first vehicle was invented. All the club wants is message that will catch, hold and rivet attentio.i on the danger of reck- less driving. If anyone has seen p good sign in another town or m BIT mingham, for that matter, send 1t in, it will be given consideration with rest. '
 The club is in communication with sign painters regarding. costs and all details are being cleared for painting the big sign''as soon as possible,
 Who the judges will be will be am nounced later. most probably con- mittee Of three from the membership of the Birmingham Automobile club.
 Just how many words will be al lowed has not yet been decided. but brevity will beat a premium.

BASTROP, La, Nov. 7-(By the Associated ss.)-Defense counsel in the Warehouse parish misdeEae eanor case today interrupted the trial for at least three or four weeks when they filed in district court motion that Judge Fred M.
