They are try- c ing to combat the impression that o manufacturers are out to force cot-; a ton prices down. One large mar.u- j k facturer said that the popular im- 1< pression that they were trying to i; force prices to 20 cents or even 25 j n <' cents a pound was erroneous, but p that, on the contrary, they were will- c Jf ing to pay as high as 30 cents, if by g v so doing it yields a fail profit to the i c producers, the latter figure lingering! | l ia the minds of manufacturers, bank-.f, Bs:- _? .? j ? +1,., i v ers ana some uwieis .? v. > price at which the producer can sell c Ife' to advantage. * jr ? Naturally-the manufacturer need ! 1* I not concern himself particularly with ! e f t|ie price of raw cotton, as he can ! P ?V pass it along to the consumer, the , h g only point being whether or not the T manufacturer's profit will be too; a i; large, thus increasing the consumer's J sj ; fost unduly. The probability is that (u not only the manufacturer, but the j f ? consumer also, will be willing to pay j a || a fair price to the producer, if hs 11< v. can be assured that he is paying that j || and nothing more. j tl As. for the question whether 20 ja cents is the right price for the manu- jv< p facturer to pay, there is grave doubt, ja I Statistics-submitted by the American j Cotton association do not bear outjv* that theory, while invesigatfons made j s: by the department of agriculture^ seem to place the cost of production ja above that price. Some economists ; a who have made an intensive study of j the subject place the cost ot produc-; t; tion nearer 40 cents a pound, but J o w! >tever it is, the price paid to thojri producer should be sufficient to cover j w w the cost of production ani yield a j o; reasonable profit. If thereby, it is j C | necessary to advance the price of jri ? /', cotton goods, then such price will tl ? have to be paid, and the consumer b wfll have to make up his mind that oi such levels must be maintained. si It. is rf*?llv ?. broader auestion than I sf t whether t^e manufacturer is to pay w ? 20 or 30 or even 40 cents a pound j n; v for his raw cotton. It is a proposi-|tc tion that vitally affects the economic j hi life of a very large part of the com- j T munity, and the prosperity of that j portion necessarily must affect the j p] Whole. If the South be prosperous,1 d< it means the development of an enor- jg] mous buying power that will react j tlupon industry and put more money \ in the pockets of the people where-j cl i with o pay the increased prices forih< & the finished product. j C More than that, it will mean the j tl: release of whole populations from o. .a form of economic slavery that is dif- ;gJ K; ferent only in form from real slav- ? \ ^ ery. Northern women who wear and admire fine cotton goods do not know that the cotton has been produced by j the toil of Southern women who j 5- have, as much right to the joys and j comforts of life as their Northern sis- j ters; daughters of families, many ! I"?'' of them prominent before the war, j p but who, of the second and third j generations, have been deprived of j the comforts of life for so long that ! r""" they no longer know of their exi9t- j ence. These small tenant farmers which compose the greater part of the cotton producers of the South have no ' idea of how to figure the cost of pro- j duction.v All that they know is, that if they work hard during the daylight hours, seven days a week, they will probably come out even at the end of the year and will have discharged the debt into which they were forced in order to obtain the wherewithal to produce their cotton r and the bare necessities of life while | the cotton was growing. Their ideas j ; of prosperity are not the same as j ours. The present writer, during a | visit to the South, received a very j pressing invitation to visit the plantation of one who was supposed to bo among the more prosperous, but which, unfortunately, could not be accepted. Through a newspaper j friend it was learned that the refusal caused Keen disappointment because the farmer wanted to show the writer a house that had electric Hghts, run-; ning water and a bathroom, the only ; one having these luxuries for miles j around. The North would noi hesitate to ' pay the South a reasonable price for ! its cotton if it understood what that price should include; but having done I so', the North is not willing to pay j an unreasonable profit to the manu- j facturer,' or to any one else, who handles cotton. It does not follow j that unreasonable profits are de-! manded, although there are some! cases that look remarkably suspic- j ious. The average American con- | sumer has a strong desire to be fair: and not to exploit his neighbor for , his own profit, ' ili&M p*??wrap? tm 1V-LI li'.'am u.'. ijit: r-?ar^gjriex=a.-'?ci iIRL SEES WONDERS Or MODERN INVENTION titles for First Time on Train an:.?

They ere discovered and reported to the hild placing department ol the bueau of public welfare by Miss Malie J. Chandler, a Red Cro?s workr there. A worker from the child lacing department investigated the ome and found it in bad condition, 'he father was not well and was unble to cure for the children as they houid be cared for and the mother ras dead.

They rere growing up in absolute ignornce. The father did not want to part ith his children but was finally pervaded that such action on his pait ould be to the children's advantage nd he cor.rented to give them up for while at least. Miss Chandler took the oldest girl ) the de La Howe school ahd it wes n that trip, that she got her fire I; ide on a train and discovered the j onders that are to most people j rdy every day necessities.
