TO HOLD COTTON OFF THE MARKET r FXTIL FAIR PRICES ARE OFFERED FOR THE STAPLE. v Meeting Sept. 1,2 and 3. < *s Mr. McLeod Cites Importance of Ac- j tion Taken at Montgomery j Meeting. ? B. F. McLeod has returned from the convention of the American Cotto Association in Montgomery. He was very much impressed with the earnestness of the delegates and said that important measures were adopt ed with respect to the cotton cruy. The ^convention, Mr. McLeod said, "wanted to do the things that were best for the entire cotton belt and no action was taken on any question by the convention until after the facts j bearing 011 the subject had been studied and analyzed." ' . "The meeting of the American Cotton Association, Sept. 1, 2 and 3, was } by far the most important that has j ever been held. Many sound, sane and 1 businesslike measures were adopted to meet the abnormal economic conditions and plans laid to carry them out." Mr. McLeod said. "I have never seen a more earnest and determined set of men in convention assembled. They wanted to do the things that were best for the entire cotton belt J ? ? tol-on on anv HHPS aIIa IIU iiCllUIi VV a,o lanbu vii uuj tion by the convention until after the facts bearing on the subject had been studied and analyzed by a committee composed of strong men. The following are some of the plans adopted by the convention: A board of corporators were appointed to or- ganize the export corporation, the stock which will be paid off in offgrade cotton; the company -will export cotton and extend credit to European countries; 25 per cent, of the high-grade 1920 crop will be retired until the summer of 1921; the representatives of the cotton states pledged that their respective states would reduce the acreage in 1921 33 1-3 per cent; binding reduction pledges will be signed and hold the 1920 cotton crop off of the market until the minimum price?40 cents? is reached. "The Texas state division had arranged to hold a convention Sept 1 and 2 before they received notice that the present organization would meet at that time. Therefore, Texas was not fully represented at the Montgomery convention. The president of the Texas division wired that the attendance was by far the largest and it was the most enthusiastic meeting ever held by the Texas division and that they would carry out the plans adopted by the Montgomery convention. In conformity with the plans it is expected that there will be a reduction in the sale of cotton in Texas until J the minimum price is reached. "One of the greatest economists in the world said that the cost of production and the need for cotton in the world justified 40 cents for good white cotton. "Judge Ramsay, president of the Regional Bank in Dallas, Tex., urged in his masterly address before the convention, that the association lay the facts before the world relative to cotton production and the necessity for the producers to obtain a fair * price for their product. He also urged , that the farmers, merchants and bankers practice the strictest economy during this crisis. Immediately after Ramsay's address 155 bankers, representing all of the cotton-producting states, held a meeting to discuss plans for financing the cotton crop. It was decided at this meeting to send a committee to Washington Sept. 15 to confer with the Federal Reserve Board about plans for aiding in financing the cotton crop. The committee will be composed of the presidents of the bankers' association in the several cotton states, the presidents of the state divisions of the American Cotton Association and five business men. "In order not to be hampered in carrying out the plans adopted by the convention it decided to raise a special fund of $25,000 to supplement the fund that is being raised in the several cotton producing states through the sustaining membership plan. Subscriptions were called for and over $30,000 was subscribed for in short order. "A number of broad-guage merchants, bankers, and farmers, men with a vision, offered their services for the next two or three weeks to put into effect the plans adopted by the sustaining membership drive in all the cotton producing states."?

OonzaJes, Tex.? Mrs. Minnie Philpot, of this place, writes: "Five years ago I was taken with a pain in my left side. It was right under my left rib. It would commence with an aching and extend up into my left shoulder and on down into my back. By that time the pain would be so severe I would have to take to bed, and suffered usually about three days ... I suffered this way for three years, and got to be a mere skeleton and was so weak I could hardly stand alone. Was not able to go anywhere and had to let my house work go...I suffered awful with a pain in my back and I had the headache all the time. I just was unable to do a thing. My life was a misery, my stomach got in an awful condition, caused from taking so much medicine. I suffered so much pain. I had just about given up all hopes of our getting anything to help me.
