A COTTON CHRISTMAS
extended to cover the entire
United States.
Firmly convinced that .Cot-
ton Christmas is a "natural”
for selling cotton goods, lead-
ing advertising organizations
whose services are distributed
in every state have volunteer-
ed their cooperation.
Equally convinced that Cot-
ton Christinas and sirnDat; mer-
chandising events offer one so-
lution to the grave problems
of surplus and under-consump-
tion which confront the raw
cotton industry, the Cotton
Council has under way an
even more vigorous promotion-
al program than that of last
year.
But regardless of Council
efforts the success of Cotton
Christmas in the Cotton Belt
depends largely on the coop-
eration given by this and hun-
dreds of other communities
scattered from Virginia to Cal-
ifornia. To these communi-
ties the success of cotton mer-
chandising efforts is most vital,
for they are the communities
The response of Cotton Belt
communities to last year’s Cot-
ton Christmas, and to National
Cotton Week, indicates the
Belt’s awareness of the neces-
sity of supporting the raw cot-
ton industry in these major un-
dertakings designed to better
the position of the cotton
farmer and consequently that
of everyone in the Belt.
Cotton Christmas presents
sn unnsual, doable-barrelled
opportunity to bring happiness
not only to the recipients of
our gifts but also to the mil-
lions of our fellow Americans
who depend on our purchases
of cotton products for a liv-
ing.

Dig Them Up!
Fanner: “Do you guaran-
tee these clover seeds to
grow?”
Clerk: “Absolutely. If these
seeds don’t grow just bring
them back and well refund
pur money any day.”—Pro-

Pupils Convert Auto Plates
San Francisco. (UP)—While
no one appears to have solved
the problem of what to do with
old razor blades, the Frank

what to do with old auto 11-

“creative work” periods at the
school the students bend the
plates and transform them in-
to book-ends.
