Although already large users of cot
ton, cotton seed oil, and other South
er/i products, tliey are making this
yerr a .special effort to increaso the.
»se of cotton, goods in alJ depart

Cotton bags, cotton ;^heetlngs, and
cotton coverings* for meats are being
substituted for other materiaj wher
ever possible. An ordinary year’s re-

MR, BRYAN AND HIS WORK.
It is on the administrative side that
Ifr. Bryan has proved a sorry dis
appointment. He is a poor secretary
or state because ho has lost bis ca
pacity for hard» plodding, continuous
effort. He has lectured and speechi
fied and rear-piatXormed and junket
ed around for so many years that he
is incapahle of chaining himseif to a
desk and making himself master of
his Job.
As secretary of state he is ignorant,
and he will not learn. He wouiu rath
er argue than work. Much of the
official labor of his office is dry and
dull and exacting. !fe ha» n ? stom

Smile! for it is Christmas!
•Why celebrate Christmas? .\nd bow
ought we keep it, these modern days?
We ous'ht to go, every one of uf
grown-ups, head foremost into it. It
is a chance to enter riv>tously irito the
greatest fun-producing game that ev
er was in the world, the game o:‘ mak
ing other people, and especially )ittle
children happy.
Whatever makes happine''-. and
leaves no after taste of bitterness,
is worth while.
We ought to observe Christmas be-
cau.se it i.s about the best custom this
cantankerous old woHld has ever
found. Heaven knows there are bad
cu^omsi enough; stupid, deadening
customs that perpetuate unjunt con
ditions simply because they have al

THE CURRENT OF CONFiUKNCE.
The confidence here reflected is that
of observant, thoughtful men the
country over. One *'eed not he a
temperamental optimist to sense the
current of new faith that now tingles
through almost every line of industry
and trade, ft is recorded at hundreds
of different points and is felt in the for this
scborest minds. It is a tangible fact.
an (xperience broadly verified.
Among the larger evidences of re
turning prosperity is the steady and
truly wonderful growth in .American
f^xports. Dunng the last month, this
country sold some seventy million dol
lars more goods than it bought, an
amount that is twenty million dollars
above the record fr the average month
in recent years. It is estimated by
Government officials that within a
year the foreign commerce of the Unic-
ed Stats v51l increase by five hun
dred million dollars. If war conditions
continue. The enriching effect of this
growth is bound to be felt sooner or
later, in every sphere of our practical
affairs in agriculture as well as man-
ufa^rt^uing and at the farthest out*
and .stunt us; customs in war, i.i pol
ities, in fashion, in ccononiio.s. in
though and even in passion.
And when here comes along a
sVv’eH and «‘heerful c-ostom. with Mi
arms full of laughing chi)droi\ let
us fall in.
We do :iot have to believe in any of
the strange and childish credulities of
the ancient Druids nor in the tales of
the MiddU‘ Agc^s; but we shoulO be
abJe to appreciate the charming tlavoi'
of the Christmas legends and put a
bst of it into our all too matter-of-fact
modern life.
We do not need to plunge inia the
excesses and extravagances that spoil
Christmas. The blessed time doesj
not imply sfilnding a million dollars
on presents for people who sniff at
your gifts because they did isot cost
mrore. We do not need any of this
fake “gratitude which i£> a lively -ense
of favors to yet come.**
j What we need is a simple, honest
desire to make all those happy whos*^
lives touch ont*s.
Of all the pleasures known to men
and women none has been discovered
comparable to the pleas’jre of giving
pleasured -\nd Christma.s is the timr-
