“The pen is mightier than the

We recognize the rights of or
ganizsd labor until they strike in
defiance of the government, then
force should be used to quell
them, if necessary.
With the new crop of sugar in
the hands of the refiners, instead
of the government, “sweetening”
will come high. But we should
'worry, sorghum is good enough
for us.
Cotton Information.
The following information was
gained at the World’s Cotton Con
ference, New Orleans, La., by M.
C. Allgood, Commissioner of Agri
culture, Montgomery, Ala.:
English spinners will make ar
rangements to buy three million
bales of American cotton. Indi
cations now are less than a ten
million bale crop. English and
American spinners have very little
cotton on hand. They are making
immense fortunes on account of
high prices received for their
goods. They could now pay the
farmers sixty cents for cotton,
based on selling price of cloth.
Spinners are excited over the
shortage of our production. They
have millions tied up in equipment
and hundreds of thousands of la
borers dependent on them for
work and must have cotton. The
American farmers have a limited
supply of cotton and can and will
get forty cents for holding same.
It takes twelve months to grow
cotton. It should be marketed
through a period of twelve months
and not forced on the market in
three months. This year’s crop
was produced on war time price
basis. And with four successive
short crops the world will face a
cotton famine next June.
Cotton Seed.
Thousands of tons of cotton
seed in Texas on account of in
cessant rains have sprouted and
ruined in the fields. In previous
years cotton seed oil mills crushed
thousands of tons of peanuts. To
day peanuts are selling for $l6O 00
per ton for selling purposes and
mills cannot buy them for crush
ing. Therefore cotton seed oil
will have no competition with pea
nut oil. -Heretofore thousands of
heads of hogs have been fattened
on cheap peanuts. Peanuts wiil
all be harvested and thus the sup
ply of fats from this source will be
curtailed. And cotton seed oil
will certainly be in great demand.
There will be practically no pea
nut meal produced and thus cot
ton seed meal will have little com
petition as stock feed. It is one
of the best protein feeds on the
market and will sell for much
higher prices.
Therefore, based on these facts,
I beg farmers to tenaciously hold
on to their cotton and seed until
the above prices are obtained.
Copies of this teiegran were
mailed to every weekly newspaper
in the cotton producing states and
to the Commissioner of Agricul
ture.
Take Care of Cotton.
In tests made of different ways
of storing cotton the most startl
ing fact disclosed was that a 492-
pound bale of cotton stored flat
on the ground for six months lost
232 pounds, leaving 260 pounds
for the market, while another bale
stored properly in a warehouse
lost only two pounds.
This means that, if the price
was thirty cents a pound, the loss
on the first bale was $69.60. The
loss on the bale in the warehouse
was but sixty cents.
Don't Disregard a Cold.
The influenza and pneumonia
that swept this country over a year
ago were preceded by an epi
demic of colds. Foley’s Honey
and Tar will check a cold if taken
in time, and will also stop a cough
of long standing. It promptly
gives relief, soothes and heals.
Mrs. Geneva Robinson, 88 N.
Swan St., Albany, N. Y., writes :
“Foley’s Honey and Tar is the
best cough medicine I ever used.
Two bottles broke a most stub
born lingering cough.” It loosens
phlegm and mucous, clears air
.passages, eases hoarseness, stops
tickling throat. McDonough Drug

God Knows His Own.
The church must keep herself
pure. Neither false doctrine nor
false life, is allowable. The search
ing eyes of God see every corner
of its dwelling place. Nothing is
hidden from his search. “The
Lord knoweth them that are his,
and them that are not his cannot
deceive him. So let everyone
that nameth the name of Christ
depart from iniquity.”
Only a Cold.
Are you ill ? is often answered :
tl Oh ! it’s only a cold,” as if a cold
was only a matter of little conse
quence, but people are beginning
to learn that a common cold is a
matter not to be trifled with, and
that some of the most serious dis
eases start with a cold. As soon
as the first indication of a cold
appears take Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy Remember that the
sooner you get rid of your cold the
less the danger, and this remedy
will help you throw it off. For

MEANS BUICK
—The Buick Dry Plate Clutch—
The exclusive patented features of the Buick disc
clutch minimize the effort and skill necessary in
gear shifting, and at the same time provide a clutch
that is absolutely smooth and positive in operation.
Under this patented construction, the heavy rota
ting parts of the clutch are carried by the flywheel
and only the very light parts are carried by the trans
mission, which accounts for the transmission gears
not spinning after clutch is disengaged, thus pre
venting the clashing of gears in shifting from one
speed to another.
•
The slightest pressure of the foot will disengage this
smooth acting Buick clutch, which makes it especial
ly popular with women drivers and those who drive
much in congested traffic.
