?
Christmas is near and would be
a splendid thing if mane European
nations that call themselves
"Christian" would give some ef
fect to the song of the angels by
making peace and living on good
terms with each other.
i
A business nrtn who never ad
vertised died of chagrin as he saw
people pass his door to go and
trade with his,business rival. In
stead of stteifm tragic end he
would have lived a long and pros
perous lift if only be had advertis
ed as his competitor did.
v The time is drawing near for the
annual making: of good resolutions.
One good resolution at least ought
to be made now and carried into
effect at once, and that is the re
solve to make Christmas purchases
at once, and to give relief to the
bard working clerks.
The two opposmlr forces in
Europe boast of what they will do
with each other when the settle
? v ment comes. Tbey should remem
ber and take to heart the well
known formula found in old cook
books, "First catch your hare,
and then cook it." So far they
have failed to catch the hare.
Personal liberty in the full sense
of the term can never be gained in
this world, for the simple reason
that no one fs free to do just as he
pleases. Life is so enmeshed with
laws and conditions that our liber
ty is neeessarily limited, and that
is well fur the welfare of all is to
_ be considered above the conveni
ence of the individual.
War is a silly game aa Fell a* a
cruel one, for it never. seems to
settle anything. After thousands
and thousands of lives have been
sacri6ced and millions of money
spent, it is usually left for a few
ineu with pen and ink to make the
settlement, and that could have been
better done before a war than
after. The peace treaties being
signed by this and other nations
show that truth is dawning upon
the. minds of governments.
Why is it that some people
always see the dark and unpleasant
things and never the bright and
pleasant things) No matter if all
the sky is blue except one little
cloud they see only the cloud. If
a concert is marked by beautiful
singing and music with but one
false note struck they ~hear noth
ing but that one note and are deal
to all the harmonies that give un
told delight to everybody else. A
friend may be well nigh perfect iii
his character and accomplishments
but they have eyes and ears only
for his few defects. Such folkc
miss almost everything that it
good and beutiful in life and
make things unpleasant for both
themselves and others.
Andrew Carnegie aa.vs that lie
likes thin life to much that be
would like.it to last eternally. A
good deal of allowance has to be
made for the wealthy ironmastei
because be never loses any chance
of expressing himself on almosl
every subject. Yet, in a certaii
sense Mr. Carhegie is right. Thii
world is beautiful and life h
gradually improving in spite ol
widespread war. The great essen
tial thing is for everyone to so live
that he may do something to mak(
the world better than he found it
That, of course, means charactei
and service, not character alom
sior service alone, but both. Thi
man who meets that test gets tb<
most good out of this life, helpi
others to better conditions, an<
puts himself in line for the aftei
life.

FLEECY STAPLE MUST PAY RAN
. SOM INTO THB COFFERS OF,
WAR.
Nation Ring* With Crloa of Stricken
Industry.
By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Fanners' Union.
King Cotton hoe suffered more from
the European war than any other ag
ricultural product on the American
aontinent The shells of the belllger
ehts bare bursted over his throne,
frightening his subject* and shatter
utg his markets, and, panic-stricken,
the nation cries out "Ood save the
king!"
People from every walk of life hare
contributed their mite toward reacue
work. Society has danced before the
king; milady has decreed that the
family wardrobe' shall contain only
cotton goods; the press has plead
with the public to "buy a bale";,
bankers hare been formulating hold
ing plans; oongresa and legislative
bodies hare deliberated over relief
measures; statesmen and writers
have grown eloquent expounding the
Inalienable rights of "His Majesty"
and presenting schemes for preserv
ing the financial integrity of the
stricken staple, but the sword of Eu
rope has proved mightier than the- pen
pf America In fixing value upon this
product of the sunny south. Prices
have been bayoneted, value* riddled
and markets decimated by the battling
hosts of the eastern hemisphere until
the American farmer baa suffered a
war loss of $400,000,000, and a bale
of cotton brave enough to enter a
European port must pay a ransom of
half Its value or go to prison until the
war la over.
Hope of the Future Lis* In Co-opera
tlon.
The Earner*' Union, through the
columns of the press, wants to thank
the American people for the friend
ship, sympathy and assistance given
the cotton farmers In the hour of dis
tress and to direct attention to co
operative methods necessary to per
manently assist the marketing of all
farm products.
The present emergency presents as
grave a situation as ever confronted
the American farmer and from the
viewpoint of the producer, would seem
to Justify extraordinary relief meas
ures, even to the point of bending the
constitution and straining business
rules In order to lift a portion ot the
burden off the backs of the farmer,
for unless something Is done to check
the Invasion of the war forces upon
the cotton fields, the pathway of the
European pestilence on (his continent
will be strewn with mortgaged homes
and famfne and poverty will stalk over
the southland, Oiling the highways ot
industry wltb? refugees and the bank
ruptcy court with prisoners.
All calamities teach us lessons and
the present crisis serves to illuminate
the frailties of our marketing meth
ods and the weakness of onr credit
system, and out of the financial an
guish and travail of the cotton farmer
will come a volume of discussion and
a mass of suggestions and Anally a
solution of this, the biggest problem
in the economic life of America, If.
Indeed, we have not already laid the
foundation for at least temporary re
lief.
More Pharaohs Needed In Agriculture.
Farm products have no credit and
perhaps can never have on a perma
nent and satisfactory basis unless we
build warehouses, cold storage plants,
elevators, etc... for without storage and
credit facilities, the south is com
pelled to dump Its crop on the market
at harvest time. The Farmers' Onions
in the cotton producing states have
for the past ten years persistently ad
vocated the construction of storage
facilities. We have built (Jurlng this
period 2,000 warehouses with a ca
pacity of approximately 4,000,(100 bales
and looking backward the results
would seem encouraging, but looking
forward, we are able to house less
than one-third of the crop and ware
houses without a credit system lose
90 per cent of their usefulness. The
problem Is a gigantic one?too great
for the fanner to solve unaided. He
must have the assistance of the bank
er, the merchant and the government.
In production we have reached the
high water mark of perfection In the
world's history, but our marketing
methods are most primitive. In the
dawn of history we And agriculture
plowing with a forked stick but with
a system of warehouses under govern
mental supervision that made the
Egyptians the marvel of civilization,
for who has not admired the vision ot
Joseph and applauded th^ wisdom of
Pharaoh for storing the surplus until
demanded by the consumer, but In
this age we have too many Josephs
who dream and not enough Pharaohs
who build.
