[Without Support of State
Newspapers Cotton Pool
Might Not Succeed
I .'i ■! • Ro> k, Dec. 8. -Every
editor in the state who has
printed a . utton poll story
during the present campaign
will rec- ivo a certifieate of
Donor.m; Menu ership in the
Arkan.-r^ Cotton (i rowers As
socialion, n was announced
here today by Robin Hood, the
country newspaper editor who
s in charge of cotton pool
publicity.
“Except for the farmers
themselves,'' declares Mr.
Hood, “there is no class oi
people who have contributed
as much to the saipport of the
cotton pool as have the edi
tors. Probably no class of men
in Arkansas realize as fully as
do the editors just how vital
the success of the pool is to
the homes and schools in the
cotton countries.
“More than 200 editors out
of the 248 regular newspapers
in Arkansas are supporting the
movement. When the pool is
finally organized. 1 hope the
farmers will realize that they
could not have succeeded with
out the country editors. It if
estimated conservatively thai
country papers have already
published nearly 1.000 col
umns of information on the
subject, and, measured ir
terms of dollars and cents
this would amount to $5,000
This does not take into consid
eration the fact that a month
of the campaign still remains.
“Except for the editors. Hon
orary' Membership Certificates
are being issued only to indi
viduals who pay from $10.00
to $100.00 into the Federation
fund of the organization.”

GOVERNOR INDORSES
COTTON POOL PLAN
Cotton Growers Should Turn
Attention to Problems of
Marketing He Says
Little Rock, Dec. 7.—Thom
as C. McRae, governor of Ark
ansas, endorses the 200,000
bale cotton pool as strongly as
any man in the South. Gov
ernor McRae returned to his
office this week, after a try
ing illness of several days, dur
ing which it was feared he
might have to undergo a sur
gical operation.
i uucii ui.) itppxuve ui me
commodity plan of the Arkan
sas Cotton Growers Coopera
tive Asseiation for marketing
cotton” he says. ”1 heard
Aaron Sapiro’s splendid talk
upon it, and I was profoundly
impressed with his argument.
1 trust the organization will be
made sufficiently strong to
dominate the cotton industry.
The cotton growers who have
become experts in the produc
tion of cotton must now turn
their attention to the transpor
tation and marketing of it.
Hitherto they have depended
upon others to do the market
ing for them, and they have
met disappointment. It is
their business, and I am glad
to see that they are resolved
to attend to it through a
strong, efficient organization.
The farmers can count upon
my hearty cooperation in any
plan that has for its purpose
cheaper transportation and
tetter marketing for farm
products.”
The fellow with the smile
that goes to your heart—Will
I Rogers at the Royal Friday
night.
