AERICAN PRODUCTS EXPORT AND IMPORT CORPORATION Object and Purposes The primary purpose of this Cor poration is to create a direct market for both high and low grade cotton from the producer to the consumer, especially for low grade cotton. The European markets are short of available funds to pay cash for our cotton. They have thousands of idle spindles and experienced labor ready to consume our low grade cotton, of which we have more than there is now a demand. Th-us, from a economic standpoint the Southern farmers, through this; Corporation, will soon have thousands of European spindles and men work ing for them in a way that will in crease the farmer's annual return for, his cotton crop. Under ordinary conditions, or in what we call "normal times," the dif ference in price of the various grades of cotton from middling to good or dinary, was from 100 to 150 points be tween each "grade", or from $10.00 to $15.00 the bale. At present this difference is from 350 to 600 points, or from $17.50 to $30.00 the bale. With those wide and abnormal differences brought to a normal basis (and this Corporation seems to be the only agency likely to bring this about), the value of every farmer's crop would be increased from $7.50 to $15.00 per bale. Mr. Planter and Farmer, simply multiply the number of bales you made this year by $7.50 and see what your in.,tment in this Company means to you. For a basis of figuring we show you below the normal or pre-war dif ferences on grades below middling: Normal or Pre-War Differences Strict low middling-50 points off middling. Low middling-150 points off mid dling. Strict good ordinary-300 points off middling. Good ordinury-450 points off mid dling. Ordinary-600 points off middling.

Richard I. Manning, Chairmar -----0 THE "COW-BELL BOY" Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 18.-The "co bell boy" of Marion at last has fou some one to care for him, some one help him in this trouble, some one see he wanders no more all day wi the bell clanging about his neck li any beast of the field. For long the cow-bell boy has be at once the pity and the terror of I neighborhood, the outskirts of t South Carolina town where his mothi R few years ago, was left a widow wi himself and several other children support. The cow-bell boy is only a liti negro, his mother only one of tho many black toilers of the South w) eke out a slender existence on cor pones and turnip greens from the L tle money they can pick up washin cooking, doing general housework f the "white folks." He, her eldest, was born an epile tie, an idiot. Yet she loved him. Ar because she must work all day al had no one to look after him who w; incapable of looking after himse she "belled" him. Every morning, b fore she left for work, she tide t bell around his neck. Every. nigi after she came home, she took to tl streets, the woods and fields, listenir ror the bell. Always she found hi through the bell, and brought hi aome who could not find the way alor [t was the only way she knew to ke' iim. bARR< [orses an ettiest bunches that sons.

C. >ff But the trouble of the cow-bell boy grew up him,-that and his loneliness, d- his wanderings. He frightened the other children in the neighborhood. nd lie became no longer responsible for ts where he went, what he did. People he began to talk. The boy with the bell er they said, was growing into the d- beast he Imitated. x- There might have come a night rid when the mother, listening for the bs, bell, could- not hear it anywhere; when bs, she could not take home her little boy. But kind hearts discovered the thing rd in time. It was the secretary of the d arion chapter of the Eed Cross, Miss ly'Jessie Rose, who came upon the cow y, bell boy and reported his case. r- There was no precedent for it in the ill. laws of county or state. The Red rs Cross o help the helpless everywhere. st The Marion chapter has taken the case n of the cow-bell boy into its charge. Whether he can be cured, whether he can be placed in an institution for such persons, is not known; but one thing is sure, the chapter will see to it that the bell is no longer necessary, that some one cares for the boy, that v the mother does not have to search for ad him nightly any more. to 0 to AMERICAN PRODUCT th COMPANY ORGANIZED ke Columbia, Oct. 18.-The organiza n tion of the American Productq Ex is ports and Imports Corporation is re Lie ceiving substantial encouragement on r, all sides. Numerous letters have been th received giving commendation to the to purposes of the organization, which is to sell, to Middle European countries le that need it, the cotton that the South se cannot sell elsewhere. The manu 10 facturers in middle Europe cannot a- swing the purchase of large consign t- ments of cotton, but their banks and g, their governments will give official Dr approval of the paper. One of the strongest letters that p- has been received at the headquarters d, of the committee on organization is id from J. R. Vandiver, of Anderson, is bianker and farmer. He says in of If, fering his subscription for $1,000 of e- the stock: "I regard your plan of ic handling cotton as entirely feasible. it, t is practically the plan suggested and ie advocated by Gov. Harding of the g Federal Reserve Board. He is one of m the ablest financiers of the country m Your proposed company will operate e. somewhat along the line of a firm of p cotton exporters.
