To the Cotton Growers of Lancaster County. Some time ago I begged you to not be fooled out of your cot ton at 10 cents. Many of our people grabbed the bait thrown out and acted foolishly. The manufacturers are willing to pay 10 cents and are determined to get as much of it as they can. You need not fear but that you can get 10 cents at any time; it will not go lower than that for any length of time. And I am satisfied if you hold your cotton you can get much more than 10 cents. The people have been so persistently robbed for the last 40 years, many feel that they must be robbed a little more. Assert your man hood and don't act as poor imbeciles, allowing your bosses to i ututa o nu jryu any lunger. Hold your cotton. T. J. Strait, Pres. Cotton Growers' Association Lancaster Co.
