The American To bacco Company is to lend Its pow erful support to making the "buy a-bale-of-cotton” idea a success. The plan ovolved hy the company will greatly’ help the cot ton situation in the South, while at the same time stimulating trade through the Southern states and so establishing confidence in the South's continued prosperity. In a letter sent to Its customers, I’erclval S. Hill, president of the American Tobacco Company’, makes the following offgr: "We will purchase at 10 cents a pound ns many pounds of good middling cotton from each of our cuatomers In the above named states, as the aggregate number of pounds of Bed J. and Penn’s Natural Deaf plug tobaccos. Bull Durham and Tuxedo smoking tobaccos, and Sovereign Cigarettes (counting each thousand of Sovereign Clgor ettea as equal to five pound* of tobacco), shipped direct to such consumer from September 29th, 19t4, to November SO, 1914." This letter was sent to dealers in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Lontslana. Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Routh Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, so that the beneficial effects of this plan will he far-reaching. Mr. Hill gave out the following statement: “It la our plan to ren der uniform help to our cuato mers In all cotton-growing sec tions. The brands on which we make this cotton-buying offer have such large sale throughout these sections, that we estimate 10.000 bales of cotton can he bought by our company under this plan. By offering to buy cotton from Its Southern customers the company feels It I* rendering a service to the territory which deals largely with It. and la also making a sound financial Invest - tnent."

C. PETERS. President M. C. Peters Mill Co. Practically all of the Jute in the world is grown in India. Large quan tities of this jute are imported by various countries for the manufacture of cloth known as burlap and for twines, mixtures with other fibres, and various other purposes. The protec tive tariff built up very few burlap cloth manufactories in America, one or two minor industries on the east coast making special fabrics which, perhaps, prospered to some extent, but the major part of the burlap cloth lyanufactured in this country has been produced hy the penitentiaries at San Quentin, Cal., and Walla Walla, Wash. These penitentiaries Import the Jute and manufacture cloth for wheat hags, used hy furmers on the west coast. These wheat bags are of heavy texture and quite expensive and they are re quired on the w est coast because ves sels carrying grain around the Cape fear that bulk grain will list too much, and are forced to have all grains loaded in sacks for safe carrying. Because of the fact that there are no looms in this country suited to spinning coarse Jute fibre into cloth for hag purposes, it la necessary for all manufacturers of bags to import the bulk of their burlap cloth from India. • « • It is quite impossible to weave cot ton as coarse as burlap and produce any substitute for burlap at a fair proportionate cost. In the first place the mills of this country are not equipped to spin the yarns, as no con dition has heretofore arisen In tha value of burlap making it possible for cotton cloth to absolutely substitute In all places, but we are confronted today with another peculiar situation so far as cotton Is concerned. In accordance with the past ship ments, It was expected that Germany this year would Import at least 4,000,- 000 balas of staple cotton produced In our Southern stales. The exportation of any cotton goods from our Southern ports to Uerman or Austria Is very Improbable this season, and a commit tee of the New York Cotton Exchange has been actively working, not only lo liquidate the contracts between cot ton brokers and the allied Interests, hut also to open new fields of credit for the relief of local hanks in the South. In fact, one of the suggestions advanced is that arrangements be made with the federal reserve board, hy which banking members may use cotton vvarehoust receipts as collat eral whereby the value of cotton may officially be recognized, at least as high as 8 cents, in order that the Southern planter may not lose too heavily. > It ts figured that the actual cost of producing cotton Is at least tO cents per pound, and If the price goes much below this figure the hard ship upon the Booth will be very seri ous. • • • This brings us to the point of In quiry Vs to the ability of the South to turn a large surplus of cotton into * The Means to the End “Advertising is nothing in itself. It is only a means to an end—IMPROVED BUSINESS.” “Business is nothing in itself, only a means to an end—immediate LIVING.” These two sentences from a recent address of Joseph H. Appel tell the whole story. Advertising is the great necessity of improved living—and newspaper advertising is the mightiest, most mobile battalion in the whole advertising army. 1 he man who intelligently utilizes newspaper ad vertising is on the road to improved business and im proved living. / fabric which will make a reasonable substitute for burlap to be used par ticularly in the milling and allied trades. The great bulk of cloth used in the manutacture ot bags for commercial purposes is, generally speakiug, forty incites wide, anu a large number at Southern mills are equipped witn looms to make forty-inen clout. Not all of these looms will produce cloth mat is periectly satisfactory and strong enough substitute lor tne hard service required for bag purposes, but unquestionably millions ot yarus of cotton goods can be used this winter if the consumer thoroughly realizes that a prime necessity exists, not only because the cost will be less to the consumer, but because of tne general advantages derived from the substitu tion of our surplus cotton tor tnt jute heretofore purchased in India. The attention of all consumers to the great advantages to be derived in this country from tne production and consumption of our own raw materials instead of the importation of materials produced by other countries will in itself more than relieve all the finan cial tenseness which may exist in va rious parts of our country. In Nebras ka, for instance, t.he South is our steady patron for our agricultural products, and we should assist the South in every way possible in the marketing of its cotton and its sugar, and this point of using cotton goods as a substitute for burlap will he a relief not only to the South, but event ually to the consumer, who necessari ly must pay for the container which carries tht products of various manu facturing industries. • * * Our suggestion for the genera] re lief of the situation Is for the gov ernment to determine how quickly tha Southern cotton mills can turn their cotton staple into cloth which may be substituted for imported burlap and also to immediately investigate the transportation question for the deliv ery to this country of the many lines of burlap cloth for w-hich our cotton mills cannot produce a substitute.
