OVERTHROW OF
SOI! GOVT.
NEW YORK. May 8. — An urgent
invitation to American cotton grow
ers and manufacturers to affifiate
with the International Cotton Feder
ation was extended by Arno S. Pearse
of Manchester, England, secretary of
that organization, in a paper read
here today at the joint convention of
the American Cotton Manufacturers’
Association and the National Associ
ation of Cotton Manufacturers.
Mr. Pearse asserted that the views
of American cotton men were not
considered abroad because they are
not represented in the international
body which was formed more than
fourteen years ago as a result of the
Sully “corner” and is composed of
leaders in the industry from England,
Russia, France, Italy, Denmark, In
dia and Japan. Germany and Austria
have been excluded since the war.
“Cotton will be extremely scarce
for many years after the war,” stated
Mr. Pearse, "and its growth should
be encouraged wherever it can be
carried on with success. He said it
was questionable whether the South
ern cotton planters would in future
find it more lucrative to grow food
stuffs than their old staple.
The American cotton men were
ashed by their British informant to
take an international view of the
Situation notwithstanding that the
United States produces two-thirds of
the world’s cotton supply. In the
five years between 1911 and 1916, he
said, America had increased Its con
sumption ^,500,000 bales and within
the next five years, he predicted, this
country would be using two-thirds of
its own yield.
In view of the fact, he said, that
the cotton industry is in a “most
precarious position,” that the world's
production and consumption of cotton
from 1905 to 1914 only just balance,
the following tentative program for
combined action In the United State"
cotton belt by the International Cot
ton Federation, based upon the Amer
icaris becoming members, wes sug
gested:
1. —Rerforms in compressing with
consequent saving in freight and
packing.
2. —Improved sampling of bales
with corresponding economy in cot
ton. ■*
3—Organization of an efficient crop
reporting service throughout the cot
ton belt.
4.—Closer relations between pro
ducers and consumers of cotton.

IFTEA KNITTING OA COAST
SEATTLE, May 7. —Knitted things
“khaki and woo'.y” are being made
here for the hoys “over there” hv
Mrs. Gilbert S. Meam, a Seattle wo
man who once rewed on gray cloth
for the soldiers of the southern con
federacy.
Mrs. Meam was fifteen miles from
Appotomax when General Lee sur
rendered and she watched the victor
ious northern troops march into
Lynchburg, Va. Today she is super
intendent of knitting in a Seattle Red
Cross auxiliary and spends about
three days a week working in Red
Cross headquarters.

NOGALES, Ariz., May 7.—Fines for
violation of traffic laws, with the re
ceipts therefore given in thrift stamps,
is a feature of traffic education ana
thrift stamp campaigning here
The town marshal recently took his
Btand on EC corner where the traffic
is heavy and began to halt drivers of
automobiles fihd other vehicles when
ever he detected a violation of traffic
ordinances. Given the ordinary traf
fic and the ordinary motorist, the mar
shal said, he could always find some
thing to "hang on them,” and his
theory proved correct.
As every technical violator drove
up the marshal brought him to a halt,
assessed a fine, told the offender that
the fine should be paid on the spot,
and then offered thrift stamps in the
_ . ■
amount of the fine by way of a re*
ceipt.
The plan worked, as the marshal
turned in $216 to the thrift stamp
committee after spending only a few
hours at his task.
