Cotton IS the most important item in
American exports. In the first hall
of the current year cotton exports
reached 1924 1856. 900. which represent
ed q. 80 per cent shrinkage in money
value from the corresponding PERIOD
in 1925.
North and South will be approxi
mately equally represented in the IN
stitute, which will have among It's
membership spokesmen for 20.OOG,oOo
spindles. All mills up to $4,000 spin'
dies have one vote and larger mills
have additional votes for each unit OF
so 900 spindles. OF 50 mills In the
South having more than $4,000 spin
dies each, virtually three-fourths have
joined the institute.
The stated object Of the new insti.
tute is to promote the progress and
development Of the cotton industry
According to its bylaws, its activities
will be economic in character and will
include trade research and CONNER
cial problems and preparation for
mobilization Of the industry in na
tional emergencies.
Will Study World Demand.
The leaders Of the industry have
felt that they have been proceeding
without sufficient knowledge Of the
basic facts affecting their markets. 1t
will be the job Of the institute tc
study world demand for cotton and
to promote the stability Of the chief
fabric Of the South through co-opera'
tive advertising and educational work
In the recent industrialiZation of the
South mills have sprung into being
with great rapidity and without much
study as to the present productive
capacity Of the industry as whole
in relation to demand. The result has
been a prolonged depression In the
cotton textile trades, especially in
the New England mills. where wages
are higher than in the South.
The cotton industry. through the
institute, is searching for an outsider
who can lead the industry--a czai
like Judge Lands in organized base
hall and Will Hays in the movies
The idea on a local scale has been ap
piled to an allied industry-the ap
parel trades-in New York.
King Cotton, which heretofore has
been untamed, seems destined to bt
chained to the restrictions Of modern
business management. What cotton
will lose in romantic freedom it may
ultimately gain in prosperity wher
the new program has been fully car
ried out.

for outside work. Where the standard

call for serious retrenchment.
The individual, with full-time job

Avoid Interference.
AS general rule, it is we'll to avoid
all outside work if it interferes with
the successful performance of your
main duties or if it involves overwork
and is likely to impair your health
Sometimes sidelines do not really in
crease your earning power, but entail
a red ink overdraft on your future

than you gain.
Never take on overtime work with

to find it out sooner or later and tc
take the position that he should have
been informed.

MEN AND MONEY
BY NJ. S. Rukeyser.
Copyright. 1926.1

In Wall Street folklore it is difficult
to discriminate between fact and fic-
| ton.
Sometimes the synthetic stories are
psychologically true.
Here is one which is going around
the Street.
In the advance of Southern Rail
road in the last five years from below
| 80 to above 130, the great trunk line
of the South silently passed into the
| control Of a new group.
jeremiah Milbank, senior member
of the firm of Case, Pomeroy & CO., Is
the representative on the board OF
directors of the new controlling group,
which made it's investment in the
property, after studying charts and
graphs which depicted the earning
prospects Of this important line, which
cuts through the new South.
Until the recent wave of prosperity
in the South, Southern never paid a
dividend on its common stock. Ac-
cording to legend, a stranger walked
into the Offices of J. P. Morgan & Co.
to inquire why the Southern did not
declare a dividend. He conversed with
clerk, who gave the conventional
explanation that the company pre-.
ferred to plough back earnings into
the property. But the caller was per-
sistent and asked to see a partner.
He repeated his view that the time
had come to declare a dividend. The
banker was courteous, but gave the
impression that perhaps the bankers
and the management ought to have
the determining voice. The stranger
then casually remarked that he
| thought his views ought to get con-
ct J0,, fn, y Nd tof a
held enough stock to control. The
bankers looked up the transfer rec.
ords, and found that new interests
were in the saddle.
Dividends Inaugurated.
The news ticker laconically report
ed that a new group was in control.
Then in due course dividends were
| inaugurated.
The South is perhaps the fastest
growing section Of the country. 1t
has been going through an industrial
renaissance, and it's long-term pros
poets are excellent.
Recently, however, the bankers and
farmers of the South have been
alarmed by the drastic slump in cot
| ton quotations at the future ex-
changes. The decline is based on ex.

results from planting the largest acre
age in cotton in the history Of the
country. If the crop proves as large
as expected, the South will be sub
jected to short-ter'm problems which
will be difficult. If prices continue
low, many farmers are likely to hold
their cotton rather than force it on
the market. The result will be some
slowing up Of the liquidity OF credit
in the South, and the ramiflcations
will spread to the national money mar
kets. That the situation can be met
is assured by the policy Of the Fed
eral reserve system and the arrange
ment Of an emergency Government
credit.

NEW YORK, October ia thor
ough housecleaning Is going forward
in the Ford Motor Co. organization.
The announcement that the company
has adopted the five-day week in all
plants. which has caused comment
from employers, labor leaders and
economists on all sides, is only one
spectacular phase of the process.
The Ford company has not publish
ed monthly production figures this
year, but it is no secret that it's sales
have failed to maintain the pace of
recent years, much less to show the
proportion of growth which the in
dustry as whole has experienced so
far in 1926. Henry Ford has met the
situation in a characteristic way.
Radical Changes Unlikely.
Rumors have been current that Ford
model changes embodying radical de-
partureS such as Selective trans
mission and six cylinder-engines were
in prospect as a means of swelling
the sales volume to it's former pro
portions. There is no indication In
Detroit among those closest to the
great manufacturer that he intends
to make radical changes in present
models. 1t is reported on seemingly

Ford engineers are working on i'm

Planetary transmission in its pres

Mr.. Ford does not seem to believe
the public insists on a selective gear.
He thinks that supplementing the

equal to those presented by gear
shift cars and that the public Will be
