GIFTS FROM "Y" HELPED DOUGHBOY Corporal Irving Abrahams of New York has Just returned from France. Just because the Y. M C. A. men overseas had gone T>ut of their way to treat him well, he took the trouble to make his way to the Headquarters Building of the National War Work Council, Y. M. C. A., New York City, and found some one oa the #th door at Headquarters to tell how much he ap preciated the service of the Red Trian gle. « This Is Just a part of what he said: "i returned from France on the J7tli of January. Have been wounded three times. Am feeling fine, but the first time when we landed over in France in April, Ml 7. we took the position up on Chateau Thierry the Y. M. C. A. was right with us and brought up on the firing line choco late, cigarettes, and also pears, bis cuit and done the best and all he could Just to please the boys. "And In August when we drove tha Germans back he came up under heavy shell Ore and brought us the Bame chocolate, cigarettes, and If the boys didn't have any money he would give it to us just the same. "And up on the Argonne Forest ha went under heavy shell flre and brought up all the candy and choco late, and also spoke to the boys to send our money to our mothers and which we did, and also he told us to send our money home and he will do sJI he can for us, and also the boys of the Third Division is very well pleas ed of the Y. M. C. A. thank them ever so much; and also when we got relieved from the Argonna woods the Y. M C. A. entertained ua, gave ua a grand time, and w* thank the Y. M C. A. with our full heart and we shall never forget them. "So I don't see why the follows aro oomlng back from France and kicking the Y. M. C. A., and I can speak to anybody and ask them why they aro knocking the Y. M 0. A." Red Triangle Man Tells Of Serving At Chateau Thierry The Y. M C. A. has been criticised because It wsh said that It had no one at the fighting in the region of Cha teau Thierry. The other day. Erhest C. Bardwell, a New York msn, came back from France, broken In health because of his strenuous work In that region. Mr Bardwell was on* or a party of Y. M. C. A. men who entered Cha teau Thierry villa** with supplies at 10 o'clock on tha morning of July SI and worked all day and far Into the night serving the boys who vfeje beat ing back the German counter-attaeka. The laat German prisoners, he Bald! were taken out of Chateau Thierry at 8:30 o'clock on the Name morning. Printed voiles, fine quality, 25c per yard at W. R. Orleans. Along the Iwm Lines That An Being Followed In Other ••wthern Press dispatch from DtUu ufi: Cotton Growers, with 1,600,tM bale* stored aw ay, see danger of losing money. Fearing cotton price* will sink near the pro-war levels, unleas measures are taken to prevent It, Southern cot ton growers are joining In n move ment for general reduction of 1»1» acreage. In Texas the more has taken the form of a pledge to reduce acreage to two-thirds of that of ltll. The State Agricultural Department Is emphaatilng the benefits of planting grain on the acreage thus saved. The Government crop report placed last year's Texas production at 2,680, 000 bale*. Cotton was around IS cents a pound at the cloee of the picking season, but many growers and some speculators felt it would reach 40 cents and did not Mil. Prices fell, however, with the signing of the ar mistice, and since then have been wavering between J1 and t> cents. Bankers who loaned money to grow ers found their security diminished, and pluntatlon owners found their crops of less value than when har vested. Texas growers estimate there are 1,600,000 bales stored by indi viduals and In the compresses. They declare much of this has bean dam aged by wlntsr raina. While cotton at 21 to 26 cants la higher than before the war. growers say production costs is so much higher that they will lose money at 26 cents a pound. I>ast year's government reports placed the Texas acreage at 11.236,- 000. By reducing this one third, bankers and agriculturists feel that prices can be held to a potnt that will bring a profit and also bring a higher price for the unmoved crop of 1118. The council of defense chairman In each county and the county agricul tural agent have been named as com mittees to aid In an extensive adver tising campaign to persuade all plant ers to sign the two-thirds acreage pledge. MUST STAND TOGETHER. The farmer* will all have to stand together or they will all fall together. Co-operation la the one salvation of the farmers and when they undertake as they have done to all band together In order to force a higher price for the produot on wblch no much of their financial future depends, no fair-minded person can do otherwise than wish them w«ll. And the farmer, committed to the plan of holding hit cotton as a means of boosting the price, ought to dis play genuine bulldog tenacity. It will not do to hold a couple of week* and thon let go Just because the market shows a little upward slant. Tills will not be keeping the pledge. This la not the nort of attitude that will make an Impression on the tnnn and tlie Interests who are matching their wills -with those of the farmer . If the farmer wants to prove to those men and those Interest* that he is in deadly earnest he will have to show more than jus* a little temporary de termination to hold his cotton. Nor is self-interest the only incen tive that should move the farmer In the preesnt emergency. Equally as great a motive is the necessity of a spirit of loyalty to his fellow farmors. The cotton grower has his obligation to his fellow cotton grower ae well as to himself, and it certainly seems fhat he owes It to the rest of the men in the calling to adhere closely to ths program which the majority seem to feel la tha wisest under the clrcum stan cos. There hu been a disposition on the part of on« part of the public to takii tt for (ranted that the' farmer has been making big money In rwent years. And the farmer ha* done bet ter than In the pre war yearn, but the high onst of living and of material* haa hit the fanner aa severely as It has any one else and his net profits have heen by no means extravagant. He I* entitled te the sympathy of ev ery MM who wanta-to see ialr play. In the great game of American enter prise.—News and Observer. The (allowing Information la regard to the progress of the cotton associa tion's fight was given out: "Editor* la the leading financial papers state that 'the orgaaiaatton of cotton farm ers throughout the aatlre cotton >elt, we And. Is more complete and the moat systematic and most thorough. The men behind the movement under stand the importance of the vital ne cessity of the organlcatloa. A per sonal Investigation of men In the field convinces us that beyond a ahadow of doubt the pledge reductions will he carried out to the letter. Further more, that moet Important of all, Indi cations are that stepa being taken will lead to remarkable changes in the marketing at cotton It la an unwrit ten law that following all wars re markable changes aad various phasjw of business usually result and t£e shanees are that MM of the moat re markable changes will take place fca the oommereial Ufe of the South.'"

COTTON PROPOSAL IS 6RIPrajG SOUTIt HOT emeßt is Spreading like Wild-Fore AD Over The Ctttofl Belt \ Report* NctlTtd at state head fuartars, Raleigh, of the North Caro lina Cotton Association during the put few day* indicate that the move ment Inaugurated at the recent coun ty convention* held In practically ev ery county in the *tate last week to hold the unaold balance of the pres ent crop and to reduce the acreage lor the coming crop by one-third a* compared with ltlß la spreading like wlld-flre in all parts of North Caro lina, The bankers, merchant* and farmer* who attended these conven tions laat week let no grass grow under their feet upon their return to their home*. The New Orleans, Hous ton, Oalveaton, Dallas, Memphis, Montgomery, Atlanta, LitUe Rock, Charleston, Savannah and Dlrmlng ham newspaper* have been publish ing daily reports of county and State meetings held in these Statea to ratify •ad put Into practical effect the work outlined by the general convenUon re cently held In New Orleana. In fact, It would aeem as If every Southern State and every county In the cotton belt were vlelng with one *ee which will make the best record fn the maUer of reducing the cotton acreage In Hit and holding the cot ton now on hand for remunerative prices. Alarmed oyer this movement, which threatens to break the strangle-hold which the spinning Interests of th* country, aided and ahetted by the hear ■peculator* In the New York market, have had on the cotton market for some weeka paat, the Northern press is attempting to throw ridicule on the movement and to belittle it. Atypical Instance of this bear propaganda to offaat the cotton acreage reduction movement la furnished by an article published in a recent Issue of fhe Journal of Commerce. Borne suppos ed correspondent from the South Is Quoted In that Journal, whloh has al ways been very frlondly to the New Btngland spinning Interests, as saying: "I take little stock In resolutions to decrease acre***, as ouch attempts at reduction are economic heresy. Too well do many of us remember the days of four and Ave cent cotton In the nineties. Conventions were held In Memphis and elsewhere to reduce acreage Solemn oaths were signed, but alwnys the result was the same, an Increase of acreage, treatise each went liome wfrtt thrf' same determina tion to Increase his own acreage as fee believed his netghhor was going to decrease. I Such artlclea%B thew\ full of mls- I statements of fact*, are calculated to • have juat the opposite effect In the f South from that Intended by the au , thora. Much water, in an economic i wajr, haa passed under the mill alnce the early nineties. The cotton grow •ra of the South have learned by Bad •■parlance that a small crop with good priced pa y a better than a large crop with low prices. If they had any doubt on thla acore Secretary Hes ter*a annual re porta, ehowtng the total 1 value of the various cropa produced by the South, atate the facta only too ' plainly. The Journal of Commerce ! Statement to the contrary, no signed pledgee were required by the cotton ' convention previoualy held In the South, and It waa thla very lack of ' aigaad pledgee that foredoomed the acreage production movements of pre ▼lone yeara to practical failure There 1 never waa a year In which a conven i tlon of thla aort waa held that the i acreage waa not materially decreaaed, t although the cut In acreage did not alwaya come up to what the conven tion had planned. Lack of proper or ' ganlaations by States and countiei, | the failure to get signed pledgee to carry out the objecta of the conven 1 tlon and the fact that no subsequent convention waa held later In the aea aon to .receive reports ua to the prog -1 rees mad* Ity the different fottpn growing Statea In effecting a reduc tion In acreage were aome of the rea aona that the former conventlona I proved a failure in ao far aa accom pllahment wont-. All tbaaa loopheles a have been closed by the recent con vention, and, In addition, a resolution 1 waa adopted by the convention to brand any man In the cotton belt who refuaea to co-operate aa "ao lacking ' In public aplrlt aa to forfait the c,onft dence of the community In which he Uvea." The "economic heresy* of redu#inn ' the cotton acreage, to which the Journal 01/ Commerce refera, la a line Bounding phraae, but cotton man say , it will not deceive anybody in the South who atopa to tbink.
