NO COTTON CROP. In-order to. relleve the cotton situa- tion in the south, where the large pro- dueing states find it impossible to market the crop; the conference of Southern Cotton Planters has voted to do mno-planting next year. Such is for the purpose of curtailing the supply and maintaining the. market somewhere near its normal condition. As a Jook ahead at the situation such may appear to be a solution which will meet the situation, accom- panied as it will be with the encour- agement for the planting of other crops instead of cotton. The suggestion is also made that state legislatures pass laws making it illegal to grow cotton. ‘What the result of such a stand will be remains to be determined. The length of the war is a factor and the attitude of the planters when it comes time to plant is another. Effort after effort hag been made with a view to ing the production of cotton. but never has it been possible to pre- vent cultivation, or restrict the amount of cotton raised. Invariably when such has been attempted, it has been an {ncentive for a certain number to in- rease their acreage, instead of dim- | inish, The sugmestion that other crops de and| rajsed might suffice to mmaintain those wiy would bave their cotton crop cut off, but the growing and handling of othe" crops requirés some little ex- periance, while in many instances, and especlally among the small producers the change would be accompanied by a riskc which does not accompany their prescnt agricultural efforts.

What is a life more abounding? Tae broader our life is made, the more comprehensive it becomes through un- selfish love and_effective knowledge and the more abundant it must be since there is in it all that sustains, pleases and_ satisies the spirit. The abounding life consists in being good, which is much more meritorious than just feeling good. Goodness and laz'- ness do not work well together in the same harness. Can you imagine God as ever dawdling? I am glad my view of religion does not pictire heaven as the paradise of loafers or loafing and a halo as constituting the future life of a eaint. Evervthing God has made except man seems to go all the time Written Specially For The Bulletin Most of us are familiar with the pic- ture of Lincoln standing beside his mother, who is pointing out a passage in a volume, presumably - the Good Book. By contrast, I saw another sort of a mother, one day recently, while com- ing down from Boston in a parlor car. The fashionably dressed dame was teaching a game of cards to her young son, who was perched on his father's knee. The father was deeply interest- ed in the boy's efforts to beat his mother and the family group was ev- idently oblividus of time, distance or surroundings. ing ish _A few weeks before, | had been sit- ting on the wide piazza outside the window of a casino of a fashionable and go right.

My attention had been attracted by a family at a table just within the big window—the mother stylishly gown- ed, the father equally fine and pros- perous looking, the young man, their son, I inferred, well groomed, fault- lessly garbed. ‘Being from New England I was probably- the only one who noticed when the French waiter poured for the youth a glass of some light lager, or was quick to light his cigarette, be- tween the courses of their elaborate dinner.

It is true the mythology of thi#® age truly represents the real faith of a by- gone age. It is questionable whether, if men had not believed the spirits of the departed souls possessed the crea- tures in the insect world we should ever have had as creations of mind fairies and gnomes and brownies. Would writers ever have thought of “the rainbow bridge to heaven” had not the Norsemen eeen in the rainbow the bridge that led from the northland to Valhallah, the destination of all valiant spirits. Expression hes been beautified, literature adorned, and man in a way been blessed by the pictures or beliefs of ignorance and supersti- tion. Man -not only learns from his own experience but by the mistakes as well as successes of others. -The myths of the past held as truths were a comfort to man and many of them hold the power of inspiration today. widely divided, hence it is a good time for practising a peace preserving silence and learning the value of a sweet temper often. It is of less con- sequence to us what is happening to countries abroad than what the event- ual results will mean for this country. ‘We._ have unitedly built up here a great, prosperous and rich.republic— 2 people’s government as opposed to despotic government of every sort. We are trying to demonstrate the value of a people’s government by the people for the people—to show the worti of the individual and the ad- vantages of the greatest freedom con- sigtent with the welfare and interests of all. None of these warring nations have any particular regard for man in the mass or for our endeavor. It is the American flag that protetts us all and American energy and wealth that have made us a world power. We are one in our love for liberty and every privilege which because of it comes to ourselves or our children. Sym- pathy for the false should not excite us to be disloyal to the true. Let's keep true. keep sweet, keep quiet, and keep brotherly. . It is of less importanc how long a man ought to live than how maa should conduct himself to lift the av- erage death rate above 40 years. It is all nonsense to talk about the limit of a man’s years being three score and ten. The limit of a man's years is what he makes it by an observance of the laws of health. It is more proba- ble the ignorant die young than that the good do. Many a wicked man lasts in life not betause he was.en- dowed with more physical strength but because he is blessed with more sense with respect to life than the other fellow. Of all the creatures God has created man stands in the first class for self-abuse; and those who cannot use themselves well do not know how to use others well, hence the great number of two-legged brutes walking the earth. Man’s bad habits sweep him off the face of the earth like a plague. “If Biblicdl history is true, man has lived 900 years, and if profane his- tory is true- he hae -lived 500 years.

Those who try to fix the responsibility of the present European war upon a single nation, find it dif- ficult to support their position. There are so many irritating incidents pre- ceding every war of importance that the aggravating events reach back a half century or more. When the na- tions embrace the Gospel of Fair Play instead of depending upon diplomacy and ‘adopt the Bible Golden Rule and do as they would be done by in place of the Commercial Golden Rule: “Do him quick, or he’ll do you,” they will be on the way to an era -of per- manent peace.

President Wilson’s noble call to prayer for peace is in refreshing con- trast to some rather bumptiou$ ap- peals to God that have emanated from various royal sources across the water. It is hard to ses how anyone can re- fuse to accede to its calm, earnest and really devout suggestions. It impress- es one as being at once good states- manship and good religion.

It is a finer, more heroic service to induce men to pray than to com- mand them to fight. It is harder but higher work to be a peacemaker than to ‘we a warmaker. When history shall write its final verdict the names of those who brought good will among men shall abide in letters of light while “the captains and the kings de- part.” There is a sentence on the splendid mausoleum beside the Hud- son erected to the memory of one of the world’s sreatest soldiers. a senti- ment by which his countrymen will love to rmember him after every sword has rusted and every musket has crumbled into dust.“Let us have A near-philosopher says: “It takes a strong-minded man to admit he is in the wrong when he is!” It takes a bold man to tell the other fellow he is in the wrong when he thinks he is in the right. One of our birthrights seems to be keen eyes for the faults of others and no eyes for our own. No man teed lend the color of speech to his faults since they may be confessed and reformed by the dignity of action. There is.too much reformation preach- ed as a sort of mercenary habit. It Is not rare to hear men of bad habits lecturing men of better habits to re- form. Half the world has lost sight of the fact that in reforming our- selves we are teaching our neighbor how to reform. The lesson of ex- ample is the most impressive lesson yet discovered. It is easier to point the way than to walk it—it is easier to hide our faults than it is to cor- rect them. Words are not necessary to admit one’s error, for it is ad- mitted the moment he begins to do right. J It is said by those who assume to know that the present war was inevi- table, bound to come later if not now, and that it must be fought out de- cisively. Be that as it may we can- not be quit of responsibility to do all that we can to make the end come quickly. If a man believes in God, be he Jew or Gentile, Catholic or Protest- ant. he must beseech Heaven to stop these hellish conditions in the Europe of the present day. If some men could work as hard as they can drink they would not become drunkards. It is a pity they do mot get onto themselves and change the flow of their energy. ‘When John Barleycorn gets hold of a man the devil recognizes he has a first class substitute.

We once knew a man who failed in everything he undertook un- til he became an undertaker and then he gathered a surplus and lived on Easy street. The reson.he became an undertaker was because he discovered by his failures that his genius con- sisted in running everything into the ground.
