two FARMERS ORGANIZING FOR SALE OF COTTON Form Marketing Association With County and Community Units MANAGER OF SALES TO FURTHER PLANS Bureau of Information to Su]) ply Date to Producers of Cotton. The South Carolina Cotton Information and Marketing Association was formed lust week, 7f> farmers from all sections of the State going to Columbia for this put pose in response to a call by W. G. Smith, State warehouse commissioner. The plan contemplates the formation of community marketing clubs in every county, for the concentration and collective sale of cotton. The convention went on record as being unaltciably opposed to any plan to fix. the price of cotton, but it was emphasized, should limk be set, il- ... - i 111 .x- ? i:if minimum snouiu i)e .?<> cents unci the growers were urged to hold when the staple was soiling below that figure. An interesting feature of the new movement is to procure the services of a cotton sales export, who will conduct a bureau of information in connection with the State warehouse com mission. This information will be transmitted periodically in the cotton selling season to the county bureaus, which form the connecting link with the community associations. All cotton stored in the warehouse units of the State system are to be graded by the official grader, who also has offices with. Mr. Smith in Columbia. r Cotton Seed Queston Up. , A committee of three was selected to represent South Carolina at the conference to be held by Herbert Hoover, with delegates from all cotton States some time within the immediate future, relative to the cotton seed prices, which have long been a | subject of contention. The plan by Mr. Hoover was to make a tour of the South, beginning in Texas, and holding a conference in each State. A resolution was adopted yesterday, ask ing that one conference be held at some central point, say Atlanta. The South Carolina committee was instructed last night to communicate this State's action to all State rom missioners of agriculture and to call for united effort to bring a solution to a much vexed problem. A collection was taken and raised t> defray the expenses of the committee. The convention instructed the expenditure of $1,000, if so much be necessary. The committee of three which will represent this State at the Hoover conference arc: Dr. Wade H. Stackhouse, of Dillon; E. W. Dabbs, of Mayesvillc; and A. C. Summers, commissioner of agriculture, commerce and industries. The resolution calling on Mr. Hoover for a central conference asked the departments of justice to investigate the alleged "conspiracy in restraint of trade by manufacturers, which has caused a decline of 10 cents a pound in cotton the last few weeks. It was alleged that the talk r:..; t- - ^ vi jjiiv;*; uAing uy mc government is "being heralded as a "depressing psychology." ? Mo Disloyalty in Plan. It was emphasized that the farmers were squarely behind the government and were not seeking to enter into any profiteering game. Schedules of manufactured goods w^re read, emphasizing the enormous profits accruing from the sale of the finished product and that prices paid last fall and winter were not abnormal, but only commensurate with schedules of manufactured goods. The resolution was prepared by l>r. Wade Stackhouse, A. C. Summers, It. M. Cooper. Frank Williams, W. A. Stueky and E. W. Dabbs, this group also preparing the resolution relative to the cottonseed conference. A resolution, introduced by Maj. John D. Frost, was adopted, calling on all county and municipal officers io put loiterers, loarers ami gambles t/> work. o ON AIXRffliS) fAtfi itochasf. or i ^TiiAT noufi ior HOtit irst WnBBa^\ ( WU MUST Buy Alio AN tyJU&L ml]|||lL j amount of orani ctiais I ilSTATE ITEMS i i OF INTEREST TO ALL SOUTH CAROLINA PEOPLE It is the opinion of those who have studied the situation carefully that prices for wool will be maintained at a much higher level than we have known in recent years.

The juice of two fresh lemons strained into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes a whole quarter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beatstifier at . about the cost one must pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold creams. Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, whitener and beautifier. Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any drug store and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck, arms and liduuA. adv (1.) workImward FOR NEW WAREHOUSE The work started some time ago for the erection of the new tobacco warehouse at Loris, having been incorporated over a month ago under the name of the Farmers Tobacco & Storage Warehouse Co.

There is a more serious stage of Catarrh than the annoyance caused by the stopped-up air passages, and the hawking and spitting and other distasteful features. The real danger comes from the tendency of the disease to continue its course downward until the lungs become affected, and then dreaded consumption is on your path. Your own experience, has taugnt you that the disease cannot be cured by DEALERS IN FLOUR MUSTHAVE PERMIT An order was issued last week by I William Elliott,. * food administrator ' r ci 11 / * ... - iwr Doutn C arolina, that no wholesale ! , ? or retail dealer in South Carolina may j purchase flour, until further notice, I except with the permission of the , food administration. This ruling of the State food administration applies to all who deal in flour, including commissaries. This action has been taken by the ' food administration simply as an emeigency measure. Until the new wheat crop comes in there will be close figuring to keep an adequate flour supply. Steps are therefore taken to assure to the people of South Carolina that one section of the State 1 will not bo plentifully supplied with flour while another section goes beg-! ging because of the lack of flour. The appeal to the people of the State is to be fair and liberul to their neigh- 1 bors. The new crop will be avail .hi by August. The order issued reads as follows: To Wholesale and Retail Flour Dealers in South Carolina: "You aare hereby notified to appiy by May 20 for blanks on which to make report of flour on hand. Those who fail to write for blanks or to make- report of flour through neglect j or otherwise may later find them- j selves in an embarrassing situation iruii obtaining supplies. "By order of "William Elliott..

The Gorman people can no j Ion get* be fooled into believing that no large bodies of American troops arc in France, or that Americans arc no good for fighting. Although the German people still do not dream of. the real size of the American Army, they know that Am<?rivan troops are in action at. manv\. points on the western front. Since1 concealment is no longer possible, the German official, reports and inspired, military comment are now used systematically to spread subtle propaganda throughout America by frequent references to "heavy American losses," as it is known that the German reports are printed , verbatiftj. the American, press.
