To Establish
Co-op Cotton
Market Group
Cotton Marketing Bureau To Be
Largest Organization Of
Type In World.
Memphis, Tenn.—Approval for
establishment of the largest co-op
erative marketing organization in
the world was leceived Wednesday
by the federal farm board from 150
lepreeentatlves of cotton co-opera
tives and leaders of the cotton busi
ness.
The agency—strictly a marketing
bureau—will oe organized by the
government, backed by the govern
ment and its policies directed by
the government's farm board.
Cotton Men Agree.
The plan was agreed upon at a
cotton congress here. Alexander
{.egge, chairman of the board, said
the American Cotton growers ex
change will be re-organized and ln
corporated by the government for
*30,000,000 widen it $10,000,000 more
than was granted for organization
of a grain marketing agency.
Stock in the association will be
sold to cotton growers and the law
will restrict sale of the stock to
farmers only. There are more than
two million cotton growers in Amer
ica and the board hopes to organize
and enlist all in the agency.
Government control of the or
ganization will be Indirect as the
farm board is cot'allowed to hold
stock in such corporations. The
various state exchanges jpvtll give
notes to the board for the loan of
money needed and stock will be is
sued for sale to growers,
w 35-1 ear Notes.
The dotes probably will be made
payable 25 years, Carl Williams, cot
ton representative of the board,
said. Regional offices will be estab
lished and Memphis, Atlanta and
Dallas are being considered as head
quarters for the general bureau.
Williams estimated that only 10
peg cent of the cotton now is han
dled by co-operatives but through
campaigns in every cotton produc
ing state the board hopes to enlist
every cotton fanner from planta
tion owner to share cropper in the
new organization.

Empty Stocking Is Gradually
Filling Up Now
Those who have known troubles and hardships of their
own are always ready to extend a helping hand to others
when they hit the hard places in life’s pathway. Among the
givers to The Star’s Empty Stocking Fund to aid the un
fortunate of the town on Christmas eve was a man who has
battled upward in life despite a physical handicap which
would have flattened many men. And he didn’t say so, but
it is likely that he intended for his gift to do what it could
toward making life seem a bit brighter Christmas for the
mother who hal walked on crutches for 35 years and now
despite her handicap is faced with the almost impossible
task of making a living for herself and her five children.

Shelby Man, Head Of Orphanage,
Has No Rales For Scores Of Boys
Every Youngster In Junior Home
Treated As Individual Case
By Shuford,
Marvin ShuXurd remembers Jus
boyhood days in Shelby and those
memories, more than anything
else, are responsible for the fact
that he manages the big Junior
Order home for orphans of the or
der at Lexingtm as no other or
phanage is operated.
Whi^Ji is to say that in the Jun
ior home at Lexington there is no
long list of rules hanging in the
superintendent’s office which every
fatherless tot there must obey. To
Superintendent Shuford, born and,
reared In the Sharon and South
Shelby sections, every boy is an
Individual' case and he doesn't
think it fair to mould the lives of
several hundred youths by the
same pattern. In carrying out that
belief he is attracting wide atten
tion by his method of operating the
big home the Juniors established to
take care of the bereft children of
their brethren, for his plan he has
become a big daddy to 180 children
who have the utmost confidence in
him because their lives are not be
ing shaped by a stern, automatic
and inflexible set of regulations.

In the past The Star's charity
fund approached or passed the $500
mark each year and on am occa
sion mare than doubled that amount
thereby giving tire unfortunate and
afflicted families of Shelby one of
the best Christmas seasons they
ever knew. But so far this year, and
Christmas will be here week after
next, the fund is still straggling
along below the 8100 mark.
For some reason the purse strings
have not been loosened as yet. And
this year there is more actual need
than any year since the fund was
originated. Here and there about
Shelby there vriii be many homes
old Santa may not locate on Christ
mas eve .... Homes where the
underfed tots are not expecting
many playthings in their stockings
Christmas morn but would be more
pleased to have just a pair of stock
ings each—and, if possible, some
shoes, too. The Star fund has never
been used and will not be used for
purchasing toys and playthings,
every cent going for necessities.
Your gift, when you give it, may
mean that some unfortunate home
may on Christmas have the first
real nourishing meal served there
in weeks .., homes where the fath
er is dead or gone, where the moth
er is struggling to make ends meet,
or where there is sickness and no
one able to work
The need in some of these homes
is so urgent that it should pull at
the heartstrings until the purse
strings are loosened.
