A joint proclamation. 8 i g p ed by the governors of eight cotton states urging fanners. merchants, bankers and bust-, nnss men to organize-* and hold cotton for not less than 35 cents a pound, middling basis, was issued here through J. J. lirowti, president of the cotton states official advisory marketing board. The proclamation, an indorsement of the recommendations made by the board held November 7. termed such a price "equal to the cost of production plus a fair profit.

Selling of cotton for 35 cents was advocated only "to meet press'ng obligations" and borrowing on cotton rather than selling it was in-' dorsed. Federal reserve banks were called upon to "be just as liberal as con-! sistent with good business in rediseounting notes secured by cotton." The necessity for the south pro-' during more food for men and ani-i mals was stressed in another part of the proclamation which iircrwl omiii.' or cotton acreage next year and more planting of food and foodstuffs. The proclamation signed by the governors of Texas, Oeorgia. South Carolina, Arkansas, North Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, urged ttiat county and school districts in each state ne oiganized.

Lipsner, director of the ? i.mu duim'b aeriai man service, announced here tonight that the war department had turned over to the use of the mall service "hundreds o' airplanes." Captain Lipsner said he was not in a position to announce the exact number but that the machines would be used as rapidly as possible in extending the aerial mail service to al; cities of the country. The service anticipates that it will be able to organize its personnel from hundreds of army aviators. Plans for the laying of new routes! and the extension of the service on n nation-wide scale have not as yet| been formulated, but it is expected that the extension will begin soon. Captain Lipsner pointed out that in addition to the commercial value of speedy transmission of mail, al ready demonstrated by the service between New York and Washington, the employment of hundreds of pilots will enable the nation to maintain an aerial reserve for military purposes In the event of another war Also as an immediate benefit, a solu tion will bo offered of the problem of employment of the returning aviators and the money snent bv the gov eminent in training them will not be altogether lost. The New York-Chicago aerial mail! service will be placed In operation next month. (JKKM \ \S RELEASE MORE Til * N 1 .vmotm PRISONERS A merle!" \rmy of Occupation.
