TO HOLD COTTON FOR HIGHER PRICE Thirty-five Cents Named at Atlanta Meeting Held last Week. Atlanta.?Resolutions calling for ?. t- - \ . ii_ uie uuousnmeru 01 tin; war muu.v tries board "immediately upon the conclusion of the armistice now pond ing, and calling on farmers and dealers to hold their cotton for 35 cents a pound were adopted at a meeting here today of the Cotton States Advisory Marketing Board. The meeting, which wan called at the request of Governor Manning of South Carolnia, was for the purpose of discussing the cotton situation especially the recent fall in price. It was attended by commissioners of agriculture, bankers, cotton dealers and other representatives from every State in the cotton belt. The resolution calling for dissolution of the war industries board was introduced by O. P. Ford ol Alabama and followed a discussion at the afternoon session of the meeting during which the board was criticized for the alleged part it had played in the decline recently in the price of cotton. This resolution followed one introduced by L. D. Jennings of Sumter, S. C., urging cotton farmers and dealers not to sell their cotton "for less than 35 cents a pound, Jxisis middling." It was the opinion of the meeting, expressed in a resolution adopted at the afternoon session, that the "recent heavy break in cotton prices is wholly unjustified by existing con. iitions and the great disturbance incident to the heavy break in the market has temporarily paralyzed the agricultural and business interests of the South and entailed heavy losses to th0 cotton preducer by reason of the price being below the cost of production."

BIG BAND CONCERT BY OU JGTED BY 1 Auction Ci NORTH CAROLINA GERMANY'S LOSSES REACH 2,230,003 In Addition, One-Third of Her Artillery Taken Since July 15. \ i i - renciing tne signing ot an armistice with Germany what was the state of her army? The following figures'will, no doubt, answer this. During the last six weeks twentyfive German divisions have been decimated. Five second class divisions, badly equipped, have been sent to the western front from Russia. The total deficit of German fighting units can safely be estimated at f?,f?00,000 men. The German losses since Jan. 1 are estimated at 2,250,000, out of which 1,000,000 are complete losses. Germany's reserves, including the remainder of the 1920 class are said to be 040,000 men. The German 1920 class had been sent into the battle hurriedly to fill gaps. Germany's material losses have been just as heavy as her losses in men. Out of 18,000 guns of all calibres that the German Army had in Franco July 15, 1918, 88 per cent, have been captured. Germany Is unable to make new guns in sufficient quantities to replace those caplured or destroyed. Germany has reduced the number of guns in a battery. The heavy batteries now consist of three guns instead of four, while the biggest howitzer batteries number two guns. The division brought back from Russia were thrown into the battle without any arilitet^, trench mortar or machine gun support. These extremely heavy losses are said to be bringing about a rapid fall in the German soldier morale, and he faces the future with fear. MAY SUSPEND DRAFT GALL FOR NOVEMBER Washington. ?
