Secretary of State Cordell Hull 1 said today that Britain could win the war, but not without sacrifice then ! and in this country, too Designate Cotton Week In County By CilTY A. CARDWKLL May 16th to 24th has been chosen by the National Cotton Council of America and the Cotton Textile In stitute as National Cotton Week. The purpose of this movement is to arouse the interest of the people of the United States in tin- various uses of cotton and to stimulate the sale of cotton goods. The sponsors of Cotton Week ex pect to have the cooperative aid of window displays by merchants, newspaper advertising and publicity, radio broadcasts, moving picture ' flashes, fashion shows and other fea ' tuies by chambers of commerce and ' service clubs. ' Cotton and the products of cot ' ton. hold a unique interest for all classes of our people regardless of section, and the success of this move I i nient might seem assured, but we j have so many special weeks and are II so often bombarded to buy this and i that, that the urge often ceases to be * I effective and fails to bring about the .desired results. It seems to be that much of the t success of Cotton Week will depend ( upon manufacturers and merchants and the bargains they have prepared for those who may wish to cooperate in a buying way. There is no ques tion about the attractiveness, coin fort and wearing qualities of cotton garments and materials, but bar gains the value of the goods- must be demonstrated by the merchant and visualized by the prospective customer if this movement is to suc ceed in a large way. A week will not turn the trick. In their own interest, it would ap pear that Southern people should favor cotton goods in making pur chases throughout the year, all things being equal. Cotton needs all the support we can give it. for it is still the leading crop on many farms and no doubt will be the main crop for many years to come. Interesting Bits Of Business In the V.S.
