'7-49-40 RAMER OUTLINES MARKETING PLAN President of South Carolina Cotton Association Suggests Nine Ways to Aid lit Selling Cotton at Profit. Columbia, June 20.-The cooperative marketing association which is -being formed by the South Carolina division of the American Cotton Association proposes to effect many absolutely necessary reforms in the present sys tem of cotton selling, according to R. C. Hamer, president of the association. "Specifically," said Mr. Haier, "I expect the association to do the fol lowing definite things for its members: "F'irst, it will grade. staple and weigh each able of cotton delivered to it by its members. "Second, it will warehouse all cot ton delivered to it by its members. This will at once reduce the trenien dous loss from 'country damage' esti mated at from $6 the bale upward. "Third, it will sell all of its cotton in even running lots, each grade and stap)le within its own ;'ool. This will assure a highr price than can be ob tained in anyv other way and save to the producers the cost and profits of middlemen and speculators who buy mixed lots from growers and, after concentration mnd classification sell in even lots to mills, at higher prices. "Fourth, it will sell its own saipl-, and warehouse certificates. This will again reduce another heavy loss, known as the 'city crop' and prevent 'indergrading. "FIith, it 'will sell collectively and only when the market demands it. This vill reduce specialization and tend to stabilize prices. "Sixth, it will sell its cotton as di reetly as possible. This will elimi nate many present -wasteful bethods, shorten the route between the :ro ducer and spinner and secure for the producer a larger share of the price paid by the, spinn(er. "Seventh, it will determine the cost of production of cotton. This will as sist in asking a price which w.ill yield a profit to the producer. "Eighth, it will encourage and de velople the production of uniform and standard varieties. This will assist still further in pool selling and in sen((ring a better price. "Ninth. it will advise with growers on production methods and prolblems. This will be essentially helpful and pirofitable. "This program can be carried out only in one way and that is under the plan of organization outlined in the maiketig agreement of the cooperative associatio. This association will begin to function when a membership rep resenting at least 100,000 bales of cot ton is secured. Each member, regard loss of the number of bales lie produc es, signs a legally binding marketing cont::act with the association, repre senting himself and every other mem ber, in which all members agree to sell all of their cotton through the as sociation for a period of five years. This guarantees that the association wtill stiek and that it will b~e able to d,-liver the goods."' * ('LINTON NEWS'~ * * a e e ee * a e * * * * a a Clinton, June '?l.-Mirs. W. \M.

Hughes told a gathering of his fellow alumni of Brown university today that it was not desirable that Amerilca's helpful influence should be frittered away "by relating ourselves unnecessarily to ao litical questions which involve rival ries of interest abroad with which we hIave no proper concern." "It is equally true," he continued "that we cannot escape our relation to the economic problems of the world." He said the 'prosperity of this coun try largely depended upon the eco npmic settlements which mi-ght be made in Europe and that the key to the future was with those who made and control those settlements. Amer Ica, the exemplar of free institutions, aiding humanity in their preservation, he said, called forth the- supreme en deavor in the World War. "This sentiment is still with us," he added, "We have not lost the capacity for the high and unselfish endeavor which linked us In an unexampled unity and joy of service in the crisis of the great war. The spiings of fai'h, of mutual trust, of imperialistic d1signs and cunning purpose or to protect a land where avarice might find its surest reward. They offered their lives and all the energies of the country were harnessed in the su preine effort, because we loved the in stitutions of lierty and intended to maintain them, because we hated tyranny and the brutality and ruth lessness which found expression in the worship of force and because we found our fate linked with that of the free peoples who were struggling for the preservation of the essentials of freedom. WNith them we made common cause and, as from one (nd of the country to the other rang ay:oeals in the name of civilization itself, tI whole nation responded." "It would not be fitting for me at this time to discuss our forelhn rela tions. But I am glad to say that the message of America is one of cordial friendship to all nations. We have no subtleties, no duplicity of meaning, no soft words to conceal a purpose of self-aggrandizement at others' ex -pense. The only method of diplomacy we know is that of candid dticusslon of the merits of prohlems. ThisN we think is the way to prosper a cause believed to be just and we shall ad vance no other."
