Manufacturers’ Record Says Growers of Cotton Must Help Stand Losses The following Is from The Manufac turers’ Record: It Is important that cotton should not be sacrificed, but It Is equally at Important that cotton growers should realize that they must stand their share of the world’s losses and that they cunnot hope to get full prices for their staple this year. They have raised what Is probably the largest cotton crop ever produced, and at a time when the wlmlo business of the world Is halted by war. Cotton growers should understand that when they owe debts It is a mat ter of honor to sell enough of their cotton to pay these debts, even If they have to Bell below the of produc tion. In times of stress and business depression, thousands of security hold ers have to sell below the cost to them in order to meet their obligations, an 1 millions of men under such conditions ns now exist have to sell their labor at a price below Its real vain* In or der to pet the best they enn, anil they feel fortunate in these time* In hav ing half a loaf when they cannot get a whole one. It would ho a sad blow to the struc ture of business life and business In tegrity of the South If cotton growers should he made to feel that they are to be coddled and nursed to a larger extent than any other class of peo ple. It was not so with the grain growers of the West when wheat sold at 60 rents n bushel and corn at 18 or 20 cents; It was not so In Kansas when drouths practically destroyed the work of awhole year. These people faced the situation with courage an 1 overcame their losses or pocketed their losses and faced the future with new courage. Moreover, the only possible way to Increase the production of foodstuffs throughout the Bouth and lessen the acreage next year in cotton Is by those cotton growers who are depend ent upon loans In order to make a crop learning by force of circumstances, by the hard logic of facts, that they can not go on concentrating upon cotton In the belief that the whole country will again come to their relief. Every ef fort to reduce cotton acreage by legis lation. national or state, Is, on tts face, so absurd that one wonders at such suggestions being made by pub lic men. Kvon If it were feasible. It would be Impolitic and uneconomic, for Queen Working Daily With Red Cross 1 i QUEEN AMELIE OF PO~ TUGAL.

AUGUSTA, GA. New British War Automobile the South should raise a moderate crop of cotton next year. It cannot entirely adjust Itself In one year to abandon ing cotton without a far greater loss than to raise a moderate crop, even If it should be sold at cost or less, for even then the loss would be less than the loss of complete stoppage. Many an industrial plant has to run at a loss because to shut down would cause a still heavier loss. The right of a man to cultivate his land and to put It In cotton or corn as inay suit his own fancy, cannot be taken from him by legislation, and if It copld be done it would result only In disaster. But men can be taught by hard experience that they cannot Indefinitely go on borrowing money with which to make a crop. Moreover, landou-ners who encourage their ten ants to raise cotton because they know nothing themselves except cotton, and their name is legion, and merchants who advance supplies on credit against cotton to be planted, and thus practi cally compel the cotton grower to buy from them his foodstuffs for man and beast at a high price, are now paying the penalty for the system which they built up. They have builded on a found tlon jf sand, and the storm of one bad business season Is destroying some of them, though they had had seven or eight years of splendid cot ton prices and big profits on which tj base a solid foundatioi . When the cotton grower who Is in debt has sold enough of his cotton to pay his obligations, and that Is a mat ter of common honesty unless his cred itors are willing to extend the time of payment, he has a right to store the balance of his crop and hold it just as long as he wants to, regardless of the ups and downs of the market. But with the size of this crop and the world's condition both taken Into view, every grower should seriously study the situation and decide whether It would not be wise to sell at least some of his cotton on every fairly active or strong market. If the growers will part with some of their cotton on ev ery good market and withdraw every time the market declines, It will be possible for the South to get rid of a very considerable proportion of the present crop to the ultimate advantage of the grower and nil business inter ests throughout the South. It is wi9e to bear in mind that this crop, probab- ly the largest and the best that the South has ever produced, cannot be held off thje market without ultimately coming on with a rush and breaking it to a point where growers would be at a greater disadvantage than at present. The Manufacturers’ Record has, for twenty-five years, been a persistent advocate of higher prices for cotton. It has recognized the importance of good prices of cotton to every busi ness Interest in the South. It has fought every effort to break down the price of cotton, whether by the spin ners of Europe or this country or by cotton speculators, but in the light of present world conditions, it fully rec ognizes that though the “buy-a-bale” movement has been productive of much good, and should be encouraged on a sound basis and not on a gambling basis, it is not possible for a campaign of this kind to absorb the surplus crop of cotton of this year’s production nor permanently maintain the price. Other factors and the law of supply and de mand must inevitably have their in fluence. These facts the cotton plant ers ought to carefully study. Every Individual grower must, there fore. for himself, In the light of this world situation, decide as to whether he will take the chances of selling at present or of withholding his cotton after he has sold enough to take care of hit obligations.

WANTS WAITERS, PLANA, BENDER AND COOMBS * Connie Mack’s Reason For Wanting to Get Rid of These Pitchers is: “One Has Been Dickering With Federals.” Philadelphia.—Connie Mackr mana ger of the Philadelphia Athletics, an nounced today that he had asked for waivers on Pitchers Bender, Plank and Coombs. Dickering With “Feds.” “I would not have asked for waivers at this time, but for the fact that one of them told me he had been dickering with the Federal League,” Connie Mack said. The Philadelphia manager added that one of the pitchers had informed him of receipt of an offer from the Federal League, which was so large that he did not think the local man agement would meet it. He would not disclose the name of the pitcher to whom the offer had been 'made. The three pitchers have played prominent parts in world’series base ball games. Plank. Plank, acknowledged as one of the greatest left handed pitchers, joined the Athletics in 1901 and figured in the winning of six American League pen nants. His best performance in a', world's series was in 1913, when he / won from the New York Giants, allow- I ing the National Leaguers two hits iq," the final game. Bender Joined the team in 1902. He won games in all of the world's series except that with the Boston Nationals this year. “Iron Man.” Coombs was injured in a world’s series game in New Y'ork in 1911 and has not pitched much since that time. He has a record of winning a 24 In nings game against the Boston Amer icans. Coombs earned the title of "iron man" inpitching the Athletics to three victories against the Chicago Cubs in the world’s series of 1910. The waiver on him caused no sur prise here, but that Mack would let Bender and Plank go was unexpect ed. MURDER JUDY'S NOW OUT 9 DAYS - *.< Hopeless Deadlock in uase.
