CONDEMNED FOR
ENDORSING BROUGH
President of State Federation
of L^abor Will be Ousted For
Endorsing Brough’s Cause.
kittle Rook, Feb. 29.—It was
a few minutes before 1 o’clock
this morning when the Little
Rock Trades and Labor Council
reached a vote on the proposi
tion to recommend the removal
of I. A. Wilson as president of
the State Federation on account
°f having published a letter en
dorsing the candidacy of Dr.C.
H. Brough for governor.
It was learned today that the
resolution as finally adopted
provided that the letter written
by Mr. Wilson declaring his
choice tor governor was written
in an official tone and was in
tended for publication. The
council held that Mr. Wilson’s
explanation that the letter dis
closed his personal views, and
lb at it was not an act as an of
ficial of the labor organization,
was unsatisfactory and inade
quate; that Mr. Wilson was
guilty of a wrong idea of his
duties to the organization or
guilty of an indiscretion, and
'hat he should be removed from
office as president of the State
Federation.

Wesley Bruce, one of the

bought supplies or anything
else on a credit for more than
20 years, and has never at any
time owed a dollar he could
not pay at once. The country
would be in far better condition
if everybody followed Mr.
Bruce’s rule and kept strictly
orv a cash basis. It might be
hard for a year or two for many
of us to do it, but it would work
out advantageously to every
body.

CAUTION! PLAY SAFE
ON THE COTTON CROP
As Planting Time Approaches
Don’t Begin to Plan For Big
Acreage This Season.
With a shortage of ships to
move our cotton to foreign
shores; with no indicatidft t>f
the end of the war; with the
Nation stirred over prepared
ness for eventualities; with the
buying power of the entire
world lessening day by day, it
becomes ou1’ duty to issue this
formal warning as the time of
planting cotton is at hand.
Let everyone encourage the
farmer to be on the safe side by
raising plenty of feed and food
for the community as well as
for himself, his family, and his
livestock. A calf, a pig, chick
ens, and a garden often mean
the difference between want
and money ahead. Economical
and safe living for all aswell as
“safe farming” must be the rule
if prosperity is to abide with us.
Six-cent cotton this fall would
spell disaster in the cotton
states. Low price follows over
supply as certainly as the night
the day. High prices and pros
perity over the South last year
prove what voluntary reduction
of cotton acreage does. Any
marked ine'ease in acreage ov
er last year \s going to result in
'merchants, and
bankers, and will similarly af
fect all allied business and pro
fessions.
