Excktf get trie p0i* Cotton "Retail merchants dealing in cot ton goods will be one of the most important groups in the Supplemen tary Cotton Program. They ^com prise tens of thousands of salesmen for America's most important cash crop?cotton. With foreign markets for American cotton sharply curtail ed by war ? America's -merchants have a greater responsibility than ever before to help increase our do mestic consumption of 100% Ameri can grown, processed, and manufac tured cotton products." " This statement was made today by Mr. (X P. Matthews, Chairman of the Cotton industry Committee for Pitt County. In explaining how our local mer chants could assist Cotton Stamp Customers and the general public to identify 100% American cotton prod ucts in the stores, he said "some "retailers rubber stamp the price tag or label with a picture of a cotton boll, or the words 'All American Cot ton!' Any method may be used which will definitely show that the merchandise is made in the United States entirely from 100% American cotton." "After participating farmers re ceive their cotton-order stamps, it is up to the merchants to see that farm customers and others can read ily find the American cotton prod ucts they are looking for. Adequate stocks and* attractive window and counter displays will be to the mu tual advantage of merchants, farm ers, and the general public. "Merchants who segregate their stocks of All American cotton piece goods, women's dresse and house coats, men's overalls and shirts, sheets, men's pants, children's cloth ing, men's underwear, blankets, work gloves, plowlines, stockings, and numerous other cotton product in at tractive displays and advertising will, contribute materially to the effective ness of the Program, and at the same time develop profitable new busi ness," he said. Producers should not come to the County Office for Cotton Stamps un til they are notified. Washington Notes FVTiff ffifi* PAniAo -? ?

SAVING STEEL More ^than half a million tons of steel will be saved in the construc tion of 705 merchant ships, says the Maritime Commission, by the em ployment of methods developed since the first World War. The greatest weight-saving advance has been the introduction of welding to replace riveting.

The proceeds will be -de voted to civilian defense under plans Ito be announced by Director Fiorella LaGuardia, Mayor of New York. I'; ' ? AFFECTS BUSINESS. 1 SHORTAGE CERTAIN. __ The idea that business and life will continue "as usual" when the United States becomes fully engaged lin its mammoth defense program is fast disappearing. The public is DTOltnilllo imHantaiuHnff tW mantf luxury and common Items will not be available during the'emergency' and that our habits and customs will be limited by the requirements of na- ' tional defense. . ' , Among the changes probable to occur, according to Conservation Chief McConnell,. of the OPM, are: Corks will disappear from bottle tops and beverages may not appear j in tin can*; Galvanized,'utensils will be less hardy and eVen silk stockings j may become scarcer when more para- j ihutes are required. The ingredients j used in many cosmetics- and creams { nay be needed for national defense j ind manufacturers will be urged to \ reduce the number of types they of- \ 'er for sale in various Ikies. This is not surprising and the j American people will cheerfully co- j iperate with officials, accepting ] vhatever temporary inconvenience* j nay be necessary to insure the safe- j y and security of this country. ? !
