Brown strongly advises Georgia farmers to plant; an abundance of food crops this year and to hold their cotton acreage down to an ab solute minimum. Mr. Brown bases this advice l>oth on the cotton situa tion generally, which involves a bear raid apparently well capitaliz ed, and boll weevil conditions which in the curtailment of the crop. “Just at present," said Com missioner Brown, “the short sell ing element is in control. There s no doubt alnjut this fact and there is no need trying to minimize the effect of it. It is a contest between the speculative short sellers and the spot holders. “It is impossible for us to tell just at present to what extent the spot holding movement will prevail against this short selling campaign. The short sellers on the exchanges are using the argument that a large acreage will be planted to cotton. Everybody admits that the world will need more cotton next year than the South can raise. And yet at the present time, w r ith no sys tematic organization as yet per fected whereby the cotton produc ers can protect themselves in the market, the only safe course for them to pursue is to reduce the acreage to cotton and plant an abundance of food and feed crops. “Under these conditions we have no means of knowing just what is going to come of the pr esent con test ; but we do know that if the producers go ahead now and plant a large eotton acreage, the im mediate effect will be to encourage the speculative short sellers who have already put October cotton down to 20 cents and less for a crop that is not yet planted. “We hope and believe that the cotton producers of the South will perfect some systematic organiza ion to protect themselves before the speculators and their associates have taken the situation completely out of their hands. In any event, whether they do or not form such an organization, it is Iheir present duty to themselves to reduce their acreage in cotton and grow the food stuffs of which the world is in so great need and for which they know in advance they will get an ade quate and a compensatory market price. ’ ’ JAMES ERNEST ADAMS WRITES FROM FRANCE Dec. 14. 1918. Dear Mother and Father: 1 will take the pleasure of writ ing you a short letter to let you hear from me. Mother, lain well and have be ever since I left home and trus: will remain this way as long as i am in France. Ido hope you are all well and enjoying yourselves. I hope Lillie is getting on fine. You all do not know how good 1 feel since 1 have heard the last shell fire. You just ought to see this country. It is ruined in places—towns torn up until they don’t look like they can be re built. I never saw anything like it. Mother, I will be back some time in 1919, but can’t say what time for I am in the 28th division. I have a heap to tell you all when 1 get back home. We are about 25 miles from Metz and would like to see the place. Tell Loy and Dewey to write me as I would like so much to hear from them. Well, I will ring off for this time. You all pray for me that I may get home safe. With much love to you all, I am. Affectionately, your son, JAS. ERNEST ADAMS. Cos. 8., 103 Supply Train. About Advics. The worst thing about advice, db serves a writer, Is that those who are qualified to give it never do, and those who insist upon serving you with a full, seven-course table d'hote meal at it, always prove to be the worst at elicit. KNOW THYSELF. Ericsson, the scientist, refused to attend a concert of his fellow countrymen, the eminent violinist, Ole Bull, because he believed that there was no sense of music in his severely practical nature. But on one occasion, under the guise of seeking instruction, Bull beguiled the builder of our monitors into listening to the voice of his instru ment. The spirit of the Father land swept through the room. The days of childhood floated like clouds of memory before the man of prose. He heard the roar of battle, the tramp of armies, the silver trump of peace. Untold emotions whelmed about him like the billows of the sea. And when at last the music ceased, he cried out, “Go on, Ole; I never knew it was in me." Brothers, there are chords in you capable of response to the music that makes heaven glorious. There are whole sets of faculties in you of which you are utterly unaware until the creative breath sweeps them again. Would you realize your fullest self? “Rise up and stand forth," “Stretch forth thy hand. ’ ’ —Selected.

It is anew kind of power to many, brought to public attention through the famous “Hot-Spot” and “Ram’s-Horn” Manifold of the Chalmers. For here the gas is heated, and “cracked-up” at the throat of the carburetor by the “Hot-Spot” and then rushed quickly via the “Ram’s-Horn” Manifold into the combus tion chambers. It is “toasted” so nicely, “pulverized” so fine, that the instant after sparking there is well-nigh no waste of gas. Little of power comes out of the exhaust. All the power comes out of the rear wheels —and such pleasing, well harnessed power, that your enthusiasm for driving reaches anew peak.
