A PLAN FOR COTTON

The American Cotton Cooper
alive Association. which repre-.
sents 100000 cotton growers, has
advanced a plan for starting that
industry on the road to recovery.
Uader it the price of cotton
would be fixed at Is cents per
pound. The Government would
at once advance 1 cents . pound
to holders of plowed up options,
thus, according to the Associa
tion, keeping 100000 bales off
an already glutted market. mas
much as the farmers holding the
options will have to sell them to
obtain cash il present conditions
continue. Bona fide cotton farm
era who have sold Q portion or
all of their 1888 prod uction would
be given the right to buy in the
open market number of bales
equal to that which they have
prod uced and sold this season.
This would give the benefit of
higher prices to both groups of
cotton producers-those W h o
have and those who have not
disposed OF this years produc
ton.
The Administration . h d
give its most serious considera
ton to the plan. It ia directly
in line with the recovery princi
pies laid down by Mr.. Roose.
velt-that the earning power OF
the people shall keep step with
the rise in their expenses. At
present, the cotton producer,
like many other farmers, is act
uslly in worse position than be
was q year ago-in the light Of
living costs, his income is lower.
The exchange value of his pro
duct has gone steadily down.
The cotton plan once it is tried
and proven successful, will point
the way to similar relief meas
ures for other groups of organ
ICED farmers. It is an excellent
example of the essential work
done by the cooperasives in fur
tburing the interests OF the pro
ducer and the consumer. In

Vomiting. Any sudden or un-
usual vomiting should be con-
sidered a sign Of illness.
Refusal of Food
Diarrhea. A sudden increase
in the number of stools, espe-
cially if they are very loose, is
serious.
Refusal of food. Sudden re-
fusal of the accustomed food
may be a sign of approaching
illness. Pain in the throat may
be the cause.
Pain. If he cries, is restless
and pulls his legs up over his
abdomen, he probably has q
pain in that region. Pain in
the ear is indicated by con-
Stantly turning of the head or
pulling at the ear. Very often
It is hard to tell just where the
pain is. But you may be sure
calling the doctor will not be
RnwiSe.
Colds Serious
Cold in head with fever. A
running nose Of discharge from
the eyes, coughing or rapid
breathing is a sign Of illness.
In a baby a cold is frequently a
serious matter.
Hoarseness or croupy cough.
If baby's voice becomes in the
least hoarse call the doctor. It
may be an early sign OF diph-
liberia.
Rash with fever. Any rash or
breaking out of the skin should
be considered a. sign of illness.
ConvulsionS. Spasms, spells
or twitching of the arms and
legs may be an early sign of
trouble.

ming of the season. and yet not
so new that it's definitely
dated" Palm Beach or Ber-
muda.
Compromising
Such frocks for the in-be-
tween season are the new off
shade fashions-the perfect
compromise between the vivid
colors of winter and the pale
pastels of spring. They come
in lovely luscious tones-dusty
rose, turquoise blue, charteuse
green and dull gold-and they
may make all of the dress or
only the top. In any case,
these off-shades are a sure
sign that your frock came from
the racks of some smart shop
no sooner than yesterday.
Another high sign of style
is the shorter sleeves. Some
where between the elbow and
the wrist is the preferred
length, with a bit of fullness
or blousing to offset the strict
severity.
But the long, elaborate sleeve
shown earlier in the season is
a dead give-away that your
frock is not as new as it might
be.
New NecklineS
Necklines are new. too. If
you're as tired of lame and
