AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION, Foreign Adv. Representative : HOW MANY WOMEN ARE IN TROUBLE TODAY? : e BY J. RR. HAMILTON ; e Former AdvertisiﬂguManager of Wannamaker’s, Philadelphia. All of you women whose husbands have told you that you have been spending too much money, please stand up.. Great Scott! Every married woman in America is on her feet. " L All of you who are earning your own living and spending as Inuch as you earn please stand up. c : Now we've got the rest of them. “Well,” you say, “now that you've got us standing here what “are you going to do about it?” I'm going to give you the first law of business: Cut your expenses down first, and then find out hbw you can do it afterward. . Every big institution carries what it calls a “butcher.” When the expenses of that instituion begin to eat up the profits the “butcher” issues a sweeping order to cut down so many hun dreds of dollars a day. He doesn’t ask how it can be done. He knows that it has to be done if his business is going to continue, and he leaves it to the people under him to find out how. This cutting seldom if ever ruins a business. It simply shar pens the wits of those who are left. Now let’s take your case. Instead of taking the money that you think you ought to have, suppose you take the money that you.have actually got. In your case, being both “butcher” and buyer, you naturally have to sharpen your wits. ~ Therefpre the first thing you begin to do each day (just as you are going to do now in a minute or two) is to open this paper and see what special inducement each store is offering in the things that are necessary for you to buy. You look for the clothes, and the shoes, the children’s dresses and suits, the underwear, the house needs, and all of the various necessities and luxuries demanded in your standard of life. ¥ ‘ The next thing to do is to cut out all those snobbish, exclusive, little nonadvertising concerns, who will find it somehow beneath their dignity to sell their goods at less than a profit of several hun dred per cent. The third thing you do is to reckon up your savings at the end of a week or two. And the fourth thing you do is to stand amazed at the amount you have saved up in spite of the amount you have bought. Now of course this is letting you in behind the scenes, ‘ There isn’t a buyer in any store who doesn’t have to bring him self up with a jerk every once and a while, and who doesn’t stand amazed at what he has been able to accomplish with a smaller amount of capitaland a greater amount of energy and a little extra thimble ful of brains. 2 Now don't tell anybody you have been behind the scenes, but just dig into the advertising in this paper quitely for the next few ‘days; cut out the “dropping-in-anywhere” method of shopping ; make a business of your household expenditures, and see if this little financial plan doesn’t relieve your terribje raomcy -y THE SAPIRO PLAN AND OTHER PLANS Continued from Page 1 & ~ably be marketed through a central grower’s agency (the second type of “other plan” referred to) at Chicago. - There are some of the imitations of the “central agency” systems, which do not apply to Sapiro organizations: not exactly having pos _ session of its products, it cannot (a) put the products up as colatoral for gigantic financing operations. (b) insure delivery to purchasers ~on’its contracts (¢) always enforce its selling and financing contracts “at law for the simple reason that the organization is too loose for the other party to enforce the same conract against the organization ; (d) have any great influence on the market since the manipulators of the market can easily produce a tempoary temptation for the pro siducer to desert that particular agency, which temptation he is at ~comparative liberty to yield to, and thus destroy the agency’s power. -To put it bluntly, the central agency can’t sell the stuff because it hasn't got to. The idea of a gigantic co-operative selling organiza- L tion for cotton growers is not new, the only thing that is new is the idea for one so constricted that it CAN GUARANTEE DELIVERY TOITS CUSTOMERS? Why less than twenty years ago, there was ~a convention of cotton spinners came from the ends of the earth to _Atlanta, Ga., especially for the purpjose of seeing whether they could buy cotton directly from the cotton grower's association then in process of formation. They wanted to know if delivery could be - guaranteed. It couldn’t and the spinners went home. & Mention has been made of the fact that there are very successful California_organizations operiting upon the same general principles but differing in detail, from the Sapiro plan. The chief difference with most of these is that,™while their contract is binding, it runs tfrom year to year, instead of over a period of years. Two factors will explain both the success of these organizations and the inappli cability of the same change to cotton. - _The first is that those organizations deal in perishables or semi perishables, the entire crop of which is disposed of in the year in _which it is produded. If that had to be done to the last bale with _cotton, you might as well have no organization for all the real good it coutd accomplish. The second is that these organizations are com _posed of a class of growers long experienced in co-operative market _ing, understanding both their obligations and the tricks of the game, “and to be thoroughly relied upon not to take fright at tempoary bug .aboos. They practically never leave one association to become inde - pendent again, but only to switch to some other fruit exchange in _the same field for minor reasons. . Developing real power for the cotton grower must be a battle of more than a year. And if, at the first discharge of a stray enemy musket, the newly organized army of cotton growers is at liberty to “tuga tail and tun, in spite of the fact that they will only be running h& into the same bog of economic slavery in which their fathers _have all chocked to death before them, they might as well make no effort to get out and decide to flounder around in the mud forever, ol ;Lastley, there are numerous so-called co-operative marketing ijusior cotton which are really schemes for private or co-operative Ainancing, and which spring up from time to time when there is a -cottan crissis, cotton bonds, cotton banks, and many of them hold great possibilities. The dificulity of it all is to get the cotton to which to apply the scheme. : . "~ ORGANIZE THE COTTON FIRST, 'GET THE GREAT g%mgg THE COMMODITY INTO EXISTANCE. SUCH A UNIT PROPERLY FORMED, AND SUCH A UNIT ALONE CAN-AVAIL ITSELF OF EVERY FEASABLE SCHEME FOR COTTON FINANCING, COTTON HANDLING, AND COTTON 'SELLING THAT, WAS DEVISED. . Other papers are requested to piblish, 5 e o ylul Consolidates S €3 : T With City Hospital Bi¢ Hospital On Self-Sus : % ining Basis, Is Understood W,&M&Ward, formerly owner “and proprictor of Ward's Private San- Ritrium, has consolidated his estab-' (Mehment with the Fitzgerald Hospital, i as fearned today. Al hosiptal ef”a»g eiit. formerly in the Davis block location of Ward'’s sanitarium has been moved to the Fitzgerald Hos pital building. The consolidation was made in the interest of civic welfare, it is under stood. The Fitzgerald Hospital, whsh has a much larger and more Calcrate plant than any other in any city of Fitzgerald's size, is understood to have been operating at a loss and the consolidation of the smaller sanitar ium with it is expected to put it on a self-sustaining basis. % THE LEADER-ENTERPRISE AND PRESS F'RIDAY, APRIL 1, 1921, Misinterpret Union Move To Settlement .Chairman Martin Says Press Put Wrong Construction on Proposal L Some of the city dailes put an entire ly wrong construction on the proposal of the striking railway brotherhoods to return to work in a body pending an investigation of the ability of the railroad to pay wages, according to W. M. Martin, chairman of thé strikers. Mr. Martin sgid some ‘newspapers even went so far as to instruct their ‘newsboys to cry “Strike is Lost” in ‘selling the newspapers with news of !the union proposal. ~ As a matter of fact, the proposal that the strikers return to work pend ing an investjgation was made in good faith by the men to prove that they were open to reason and determined to do only the right thing. ‘ Mr. Martin said the story of the move as carried in the Fitzgerald Leader was correct in sense and let ter, The proposal was in no way an in timation of weakening on the part of the men, who declare that their po sition is growing stronger every day the A. B, and A. continues to operate with its present employees. The stri kers get daily. bulletins of constant minor mishaps to railroad property resulting from inefficient handling by the present employees. e G e 0 n New Spence Home On Central Avenue Starts Work on the new home of J.

G.Taylor, formeriy of Fitzger ald but now of San Blas, Fla., suffered the loss of his home and most of his property by fire on his eighty second ll)irthday this week, according to in formation reaching Fitzgerald today. The loss was about $3,500. Mr. Taylor +as one ot the original Fitzgeralo' Colonists and is well known to the alder residents here. . Textile Workers After Longer Hours COLUMBUS, Ga, April l.—-—Sev-4 eral hundred tetile workers of the‘ Eagle asd Phoenix Mills, a large cot ton plant here, walked out this morn ing after making demands for an }increase of thirty per cent in wages and longer working hours, The mill operatives claim they arc not making living wage, and that is absolutely necessary that the mills be run longer hours to permit the men to increase thejr earnings. Of ficials also issued a statement stating that they realized that the salaries were too meager, but they had "been running at a loss and could not grant the employee’s requests. This is the first action of this kind since 1919, when there was a general ‘strikc among the textile workers in the several mills in Colémbus, and ‘m:my thousands of employeys were ‘out. ~ The action of the workers of the Eagle and Phenix mills came on the ‘heels of an announcement by the Columbus Manufacturing Company another cotton factory here, that they would resume full time operation on April 1. The announcement said that begin ning April 1, the mills would run full time during the day and 60 per cent at night. There were 700 employes. working during the winter months,f while at present over a thousand workers were kept busy. | e SN i Fitzgerald. Leader WANT-_ADS! are busy little Salesmen.
