TWO SUCCESSFUL YEARS
The second annual
Chamber of Commerce Thursday night marked
the close of another successful year for the organi-
sation. c Installation of James Bailey as president
and J A. Powitzky as vice-president assures the
organization of efficient leadership for the coming
ear.
Mr. Bailey has had a year's experience as
vice-president of the Chamber of Commerce and
wtwoyears of active work in the organization as a
member and on committees. He is a past president
of the Business Men's Luncheon Club.
K Mr. Powitzky has served on the Board of
Directors of the Chamber of Commerce for two
years and has been active in all work of the organi
zation. He was president of the successful 1 938
Bartlett Community Fair.
Reviewing the record of success made by the
Chamber of Commerce under the leadership of E.
M. Steglich during the past year we find that it is
one of which Bartlett can be proud. As a result of
the cooperation given county commissioners
through this organization and through the diligent
work of its laterial roads committees there are now
ihore miles of graveled roads serving the people of
this area than ever before. A bonded warehouse
which provides safe storage for the farmers of
this section and which enabled them to secure the
government loan on their cotton was made pos-
sible largely by work of this organization. The
onion project which is expected to bring a new
cash crop to this section was sponsored by the
Chamber of Commerce.
' Regular projects sponsored by the organiza
tion are the one-variety cotton program and the
BaVtlett Community Fair both of' which have
proven to be outstanding successes.
Projects being worked on which are still ex
pected to materialize are
and water conservation
city park- and a plan to
by persuading local ginners to use cotton wrapping
insteadfJof jute on cotton ginned locally. A folder
dvertisine Bartlett will be issued in the near
future. r
Of inestimable value to this section has been
the better understanding and close relationship of
the farm and city population brought about by the
"Chamber of Commerce. Cooperation has been
given" all projects sponsored by farm organiza-
tions or by merchants.
The first two years of organization have
proven the Chamber of Commerce an organization
worthy of the support of every individual.

OUR COTTON PROBLEM
While the solution of the cotton situation con-
tinues1 to be the nation's foremost problem and
methds of control are being argued pro and con the
Jaw; of supply and demand remains before us and
continues to he a law which cannot be broken with
impunity.
Realizing this one Bartlett farmer has made
the statement: "If we would quit wrapping ouj
cotton in jute and dressing our wives in silk we
would be doing something to help our own situa-
tion." We might need the help of style experts and
the creators of fashion to make cotton dresses more
popular than silk but something can be done about
the wrapping of cotton bales without any outside
help.
The Bartlett Chamber of Commerce has be-
fore it a plan to persuade local ginners to use cotton
wrapping instead of jute. The ginner however is
a.. business man who must
ciple of providing of what his customer wants.
'' The cotton farmer is the customer of the gin-
ner and will get what he demands. If farmers will
get together either at a meeting called for that pur-
pose or at any farmers' meeting and indicate that
a majority of them want cotton bagging instead of
jute they will get it

that cotton wrapping replace jute. The problem of
surplus cotton "would almost be solved if cotton
could be made to replace silk in women's clothes
over the nation.

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
The Bartlett Fire Department is to be corrif
mended for its excellent work when fire threatened
the entire west part of town Monday night and a
vote of thanks is due the Granger Fire Department
for the valuable assistance it rehdered. Confining
the blaze to the Will Wiederspahn home where it
originated and keeping under control the many
small fires that were set by burning shingles carried
by the strong north wind in the below freezing
weather was a task which tested the skill training
and organization of both
