If this move- ment results in marketing 500, 000 bales at 10 cents a pound, as is believed to be possible, it will have a profound effect in en- couraging the small farmers and those who give them credit to hold for a stable price. “All of us derive our liveli- hood and that of our families in some measure from cotton an so, apart from any interest of the company, every one of us has a personal interest in the cotton market. “I have myself bought a bale of cotton in each of the cotton producing states. If you feel that you can afford it recom- mend that you buy at least one bale for personal account and in- duce as many as possible of your friends to do likewise. It will be a safe investment of the mon- ey and a patriotic act in a vital emergency.” e THE STUPIDITY OF WAR. A newspaper correspondent of the London Chronicle, who has returned from the eastern fron- bring us a new wonder that such horrors can be in this age of culture and enlightment. To the pitilessness and inhu- manity of war he has found a few exceptions. He quotes 2 French soldier, who has come out of the trenches of Luneville as telling how the dead and wounded were leit to die with- out care or aid from any one. Germans and French were lying side by side, breathing their last aconized breaths and sometimes turning to one another for 2|it can grow a new crop of sold- word of comiort and human |jers.

Those were the days when a broad- shouldered man who could do a hali-lawford or bach-bone stroke a twelve-pound sword hewed great holes in the ene- mies’ ranks and became king because nobody could object. The king business was conduct- ed strictly on its merits in those times, and when a king got out of practice with his cutting tools he went into a sarcophagus in short order. When gunpowder was invent- ed all this was changed because a thin little man with no ances- tors, could shoot a hole in a per- fectly good king with no effort at all.
