The Ford Model T One Ton Truck with its
manganese bronze worm-drive is really a
necessity for the farmer because it solves his
problem of economic transportation from the
farm to the city. And in farm work alone, it
will be found a great money saver as well as a
big labor saver. Has all the merits of the Ford
car multiplied by greater capacity with greater
strength. No extra cost in operation. We’d
like to talk it over with every farmer. Bring
your Ford car to us for necessary repairs and

The embargo furnished a splen-
did opportunity for this con-
spiracy .
The action of the Reserve Bank
Board caused banks to call loans
on cotton, which forced it to sell,
thus aiding in the scheme to de-
press the price.
Propaganda is being given out
and plans laid to cut the value
of the 1920 crop in half. The re-
port of ear and ship shortage,
which is already depressing the
price of wheat; the talk of “tight
money”; of a big crop, which is
impossible with half a stand over
the principle producing sections,
and a great deal not in bloom
ed and an evasive reply is given.
This is what Pat Neff has done
on the labor question. He has
been asked whether he is for the
open or the closed shop, and he
has refused to make a reply. He
is afraid to make one, because
he thinks that, if he did not
make an answer agreeable to his
hearers, he would lose some votes.
Such a man is not honest with
tic people, and the people should
not trust him.
Senator Bailey has declared
their friends, desire a voice in
the price and demand that it in-
clude a profit. The speculative,
and spinning interests desire to'
prevent this and are not asleep
on their job. They generated se-
veral schemes during the harvest
and sale of the 1919 crop to
thwart the aims of the producers
and their friends. Whether or
not these schemes w ere hatched
by enemies of the producers, such
enemies have used them to beat
down the price of cotton.
Some of the conditions which
have been taken advantage of
are; the embargo forbidding the
; railroads to haul cotton in West
Texas last fall; the long shore-
■mens’ strike at Galveston, and

other words, he has declared him-
self in favor of the right of "col-
lective bargaining.' He has,
however, declared against the
closed shop, so far as it interfer-

unions are with him on that

them may vote against him fori

Senator Bailey has been fair!
with the people on this most im-
portant question. The world
knows where he stands. As for
Pat Neff, nobody knows where (
in stands on this question except

he believes will bring him the
greater number of votes.

sized this point that foreign
i manufacturers or buyers of cot- <
ton, and domestic buyers as well,
I have made and are making at
present, every possible effort to
depress the price.” This same
editor continuing says: “The
world does need cotton and will
need it in increasing amounts.
The cotton grower must protect
himself; as certainly no one else
will protect him or will pay him
one cent more per pound for his
cotton that it can be bought at.

August 1st; yvhile adjoining
fields have grown bolls in them
and insects demanding toll.
The fact is, as we have fre-
quently stated, more than half of
the U. S. crop is needed by for
eign countries, which are not in
shape to buy in large quantities
as fast as we gather. Their con-
dition must be considered, and
the sale of our cotton adjusted
to their ability to pay. We sold
too much cotton last fall. The
spinners got three months stock
and the speculators about the
same. They joined forces to beat
the farmers on what they did not
get an average of $50. per bale.
Still the futures market has ave-
raged as high, and the spinners
have paid the speculators as
much for cotton all this year as
last fall, when the farmers was
receiving around 45 cents for his
staple. Will we do the same fool
thing and sell too much cotton
this fall I If the banks and mer-
chants urge or even permit too
rapid sale, they wil e caught
in the same bear trap that
clamped down on their caudal
appendages in 1918. There will
be very little old cotton on hand
when the new crop begins to
move freely. What little there
will be will be in the hands of
