WOULD NOT TAKE FARM FOR TANLAC'S BENEFIT Joe M. Vinson Declares He Has Gain ed Fifteen Pounds OVERCAME TROUBLES Prosperous Farmer Says He Can Now Do as Big a Day's Work as Ever. "I had rather lose my whole farm, stock and everything on it thwm to be In the fix I was before Tanlac restor ed my health," said Joe M. Vinson, a well known and prosperous farmer living on Route 2 out of Love, Miss. "Three years ago my stomach got out of shape and I have been going down hill ever since," he, continued. "I coulk not digest my food, and for eight months I hal to live on the whites of eggs and buttermilk. I was so nervous I could not sleep, and suffered so much misci;y from indi gestion that I. felt good for nothing all the time. Gas would form on my stomach and swell me up so I could not button my clothes, my head ached like it would pop open, and I would get so dizzy and blind I would nearly drop. I would have awful smother ing spells and would almost choke to death. "I sure am a different man now since I took Tanlac. I can eat any thing I want and never have any trouble from it. I have gained fifteen pounds in weight and my strength has come back so I can do as big a day's work as I ever did. All the misery and swelling has gone from my stom ach and the headaches are a thing of the past. I have got each wonderful relief from Tanlac I feel it my duty to let the world know about it."

A NEW [POCH IN THE COTTON WORLD (By W. W. Morrison) This year has been notable for the number of conventions held by the cotton producing interest. These con ventions are symptomatic. They de note the culmination, not the begin ning, of an evolution through whose processes cotton has finally passed to the control of those who grow it. It would be a mistake not to make this distinctipn. The records show thiht failure,. o make it has proven a costly error to quite a number of the cotton trade in the past and the most logical interpretation of current events indicates that if lpersisted in such a mistake will prove still more costly in the future. For it is plain to anyone at all familiar with the de tailed history of the evolution that ,these conventions did not mean that the cotton producers were planning to ,achieve their independence but rather that they were planning to organize their resources to make perpetual an independence already achieved. The correctness of this view h1 is been demonstrated in all the g ih erings of this year and was especial ly brought out with great h.tinet ness during the recent conv:mntion in New Orleans. It is pecrhaP;s safe to say that in all the meetngs of other years, certainly all the writer had kcnowledge of, the c'ontrolling pur pose has been to ofganize some plan of giving financial aid to the pro duicer to protect him against the ag gressive attacks of the spinner. In the New Orleans conventLion this pos tion was completely reversed. For it -is lain that the export corporation, one of t[m organizat ions created by the conv< ation. mleant mn the las~t analysis thait the producers pronose'd to organize their resources to lend assistance to priact ical ly half of the spinners of the worldl. That the spinners of the ojld world need financial assistance is evident. That this assistance can come only through private sources is also evi dent. That the rehabilitation of the markets for raw cotton in Europe is of the first impor..ance to the cot ton producers is .j' 1t as evident, too, As. the, uneed of the spinners of the orld for financial a ;d. Tlhese mat turs were discursedl in the frankest anner by the convention. The neces 'Itiies and the remedlies to he applied ere clearly apJprehended. The obviotus illingness of the producers to come the rescue of the spinning industry n this crisis easily makes the New rleans convent ion one of the epiochalI vents in the econom ie life of the cot - n producers and an event far-reach tug in its conseqluencees to the world. Nowv the ability of the producers ot only to carry their cot ton hut o give assistance to ihe spinners is ontrary to the convent ional opinion el by most people who live outside ? the cotton prodlucinug section and luo by quite a number of those who 've withmn in. Padual is the lat true of the G.ter cent ers in the outh. The records however clearly upport the view that their resources re aimple and fully justify the or anizations launched at New Orleans oking to that e'nd.

Take for .instance, the records cov ering the deposits in Southern bangs. These deposits as compared with a de cade ago show a really wonderful gain in the surplus wealth of the South during this perrod. The in crease however which has the most significant bearing on the matter un der review has been in the deposits owned by the agricultural classes. This increase, it is fairly safe to say, will average around 400 per cent as compared with ten years ago. In fact, the writer has found the increase much above this in many instances wherever he has had occasion to in vestigate the matter. Th: is fully confirmed by the official '. "s cov ering the wealth r; nued f:rr Southern farms during ; -ent years, of which cotton coy' :ihited! oniv about en-fifth coun' in live stock as part of the nrodu'. i of the farm.

Notably during the famous break in future contracts of Febru ary 1, 1917, in the spring of 1918 and through the dramatic decline from 85 to 18 cents of this year. It should be emphasized, for it is a significant part of the history of these events, that during the sensational decline of this year, as well as during other years, the only weakness of consequence that ,developed in the spot market was in cotton that has passed out of the hands of the producbrs. Theso records clearly justify the statement that, had not the producers been able to carry large lots of cotton for very extended periods throughout the war, th, auth would have been overtaken a series of disasters which would ..ave crippled its future for many years na n!riobably for generations.

While many busi ness men in the large centers are un usually keen, and resourceful they, by reason of this pressure, are apt to taie a superlicial view of current events and to miss the deeper sig nificance of trends that are, more or less, vitally changing the meaning of economic, industrial and business con ditions. Hence, wo often see the lead ers in large centrs, especially the leaders of speculative interest, per sistently loyal to orthodox standards long after ,hnnges in basic conditions have made) those standards essential ly unsafe as guides. Perhaps in no business has this been so conspicu ously true as it has been in the '.otton business. A New Era at Hand. On the whole these things sharply indicate that a new dispensation is at hand in the conomic and industrial life of the South. It means, in the last analysis, that the world hence forth must conform to the South's in terpretation of that life as it relates to all of her activities and particu larly as it concerns the value of all her products whether of forest, fac tory or field. As to cotton, it means that it will be safer henceforth for the speculative and consuming- world to assume in all their calculations that the price of cotton in the future will be largely determined by the Southern view as to what is a fair profit on the cost of its production. Since producing cotton at an attrac tive profit is the only basis on which any hope for an adequate supply can be justified, which events show is a matter of ever increasing concern to the world, it can be assumed that this control of the South will be wholly contsructive not only for the spinning industry and the cotton trade.
