PIIBH'TA COTTON WILL
GO TO 5# CENTS SHOKTLI
Br James A. Hollomon.
Hew York. May 4.?"Before the nex
crop is on the market cotton will
welling for 50 cents a pound," said
New York broker to me today. I d
*ot give liis name, but he is a south
erner who moved to New York froi
the cotton fields. Strange to say, toe
*ie is a bear; and pocKetea a ounc
of money, I am told, by the decline i
cotton in the past winter that brok
-so many bulls that New York's up
town cafes even re-echoed the eras
to the market.
I asked him what he based hi
pinion upon.
*'It is the opinion of the most con
serratire minds on the exchange,
fee replied, and it is based upon th
anticipated European demand whe:
the embargo has teen raised, as i
Must be automatically by the officia
declaratios of peace; and the furthe
tect that the shipping board has plan
' ned to release a sufficient number o
bottoms to adequately handle tb
exportations." \
"Is that all?" I inquired.
"No; the crumbling of the indu?
trial board, the pet scheme of Secre
PedfipM that President Wilsoi
very reluctantly sanctioned, is anothe
factor. That board was ostensibly in
tended to regulate prices, howeve:
adroitly the promoters may have cam
ouflaged the real purposes. That ha<
feeen a disturbing element, of course
and would have remained so so Ion;
as it was a factor; but the death o
the scheme, together with the politica
death of Secretary Redfield, bring
necessarily a fresh impetus to th
market.
Seduced Acreage is a Big Factor.
"Another factor," the broker con
tinned, the reduced acreage tha
good judgment and inability to se
cure sufficient fertilizer of th
proper kind have forced in th
growing area. Reports reachini
my office are that the cotton-grow
1ng acreage will be curtailed a
least 25 per cent in bringing in th
next crop, and that much of th
cotton area that has been prepare
lias l>een without proper fertiliza
tion, and nothing of consequence i,

street as the smallest in ten years
and the cotton farmer who plants on

one than he did off the two."
"Is there still another factor i
this?" I asked.

ri "Will it be well to speculate on

to do?" I a"ked.

"No; the anticipations on the part
of cotton brokers of New York may
be all wrong. No man is infallible,
and no man's judgment is always corjrect.
Certainly it would be foolish to
I speculate on marginal cotton now on

disastrous reaction. But this idea as
"t to the next congress is based upon
J the G. P. desire to make political
j inroads into the solid democratic
south; and the republicans are going
to play the game from now until the
1920 campaign designedly, fearlessly
and I might say unscrupulously. They
have only one purpose to serve and
t that is to get control of the reins of
J government that they lost for the
a! second time, since the war of the 60's,
a I when Woodrow Wilson was elected in
g. j 1912. And to get control they are go|ing
to play without sectional favorit.
i ism, smashing ideals and building
V j
i idols, whenever and wherever such
^ I purposes can in their judgment, be.
^ j served."
"Will not the talk at this time of
a possible 50-cent cotton in 1920 force
e an overproduction'and result disasil
trously for the cotton farmers?" I
; ; suggested.
e "It is too late," he replied. "The
r cotton farmer can't plant any more
e acreage now than he has plannedHe
can't ^et the fertilizers, and be.
n can't get the labor to bring in more
ground, even in the most northern
it sections of the cotton belt. Besides
the average cotton farmer of today
in a man of sense, and he knows the
!t {influences that are woiking for andj
,s J against him. He knows that the
i
"""" ' *
course of wisdom is to plant normal
acreage# in cotton, and produce tht
necessary feed crops for the stock,
and for the family, that is as costly'
to purchase in dollar and cents today |
as cotton on a prorata wo.ild be at
."0 cents a pound."
Fifty-Cent Cotton Ser :fcs rnrwisonnh;? '
I am net giving the Constitution
readers this interview with a cotton j
broker here. in whom I have more
than passing confidence, as an expression
of my own views. I am frank
to say the idea of possible 50-cent
cotton seems unreasonable to me. U
is a higher price than the farmers of
the south anticipate, or even hope for.
It is a price that will work a hardship
upon the multitude of consumers
that must clothe their own and their
children's backs with cloths that aro
already abnormally hi^h; and it must
be purchased with coin that has largely
lost its value in the purchase of the
even more necessary things that keep
the heart beating and the soul in tb*body.
It is easier to go naked than
hungry; and God knows if the va'.uo
of the dollars to buy does not enhance,
or the average wage-earner, whether j
of the office, or the store, or the sho*\
does not get more of them than he is
now getting, the ability to keep the
soul in the body will become too
heavy for many to stand. I say thi?
in all frankness and in full appreciation
of the fact that many classes of
'.abor today are being paid far in excess
of their righteous capacity ?.r>
^arn?
On the contrary, my friends, the
greater throng is paid less than if
takes to live; and this is the class
lhat makes the least fuss about it.
So, after all, whether the predic
tions of my broker friend, that cotton
will go to 50 cents a pound, provo
true or not, I do Relieve that the
South, where the people live nearer
to nature, more in the open, and at
less expense and in better atmosphere
than in the cities of the north, or even
in the rural sections of the north.?
I do believe. I say, that the south is
entering upon the sreatest era of individual
and collective prosperity that j
the great section south of the Potomac I
has ever known.

fnyaicians anu uruggiarta
enthused over the new and improved
aspirin tablets, called Aspitone, which
do not depiess the heart. They say
that Aspitone is slightly stimulating
instead of depressing to the heart and
should be used especially for headache,
neuralgia, rheumatism and
other heart weakening diseases, such
as influenza, severe colds and threat\
ened pneumonia.
Many physicians are substituting
Aspitone for aspirin in all of their
practice on the theory that even if
the patient's heart is strong, there is
no reason to give a heart depressing
remedy when the same effects may be
