To the Frisnds of Cotton: ,
The fate of cotton hanga in the balance.
world is engrossed with problems relating to tKe future
of humsinity^ thfe sinister agencies whiclr 'conspired to
force down the price of cotton below the leyel of "all other"
prices are now at work in Paris as well as at Washington
upon a plan t^ mortgage the cotton- crop of America
for ages to come, through treaty covenants to "allocate"
the crop, by which they mean to divide up among foreign
buyers; and thereby enable the spinner^of Old England
and. New England ,to arbitrarily fix their price upon it
ther tke^ producers of the South shall .be forever en-
slaved or forever free, will be determined t by the success
or failure of this scheme. It had its origin in the lusts of
gamblers amd speculators who seek to dominate the indus-
trial .fields of both continents;
At a conference of friends of cotton held at Austin it
was decided^ that there was urgent "need for imme-
diate action. To £his end a call is hereby made for mass
meetings of citizens of Texas to be heldin their respect-
ive communities on the 29th day of March at 2:30 p. m.
The request is made that one or more delegates shall be
chosen l* each of such mass meetings to attend a State
Cotton Conference to be held at Dallas on the 7th day of
April at 10 a. m. for one or more, days, for the purpose of
perfecting a Statewide organization to protect the inter-
est of cotton, and to take steps to give producers a voice"'
in ^distribution and the pricing of their products, and
otherwise, protect the interests of the producers. AH
friends ©f cotton ar® invited.

"Prussia* is not a people that

32 per 100,000 respectively. The
highest rates were returned for
Nevada, Montana and Oregon,,
which show 607, 323 and 225

In all states •except-Maine,
WestTVirginia, South Carolina,
Alabama, Mississippi, North and
South Dakota and Colorado, the
divorce rates were higher in 1916
than in 1906. In 31 per cent of
the cases in 1916 the divorce was
granted to the husband while
the husband's rate in 1906 wa9
67 per cent.

were cruelty, infidelity and fail-
