' Greensboro," N. C.1' Sept. 30.-?-"Woar Cotton' has been adopted by the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce as a slogan for those who are willing to join a movement looking to the crea tion qf sentiment for the increased wearing of cotton goods. The adopt ion of this slogan was the outcome of a )etter from Mr. A. W. McAllster, manager qf the "Original Four" Fire Insurance Companies, suggesting that an organized movement be star ted for popularizing wearing of cotton goods during' at least six months of each year. ? A committee was appointed to des fgn an appropriate lapel button, and to t adopt resolutions suggesting the movement to the cotton manufactur er's association of both New England [ and the South Mr.. McAllster's letter reads In part | as follows. "I believe as much encouragement U possible should be given-the "buy ?'bale" plan, but this Van should be Bupplcmentott by an organized move ?ment for the maeof cotton as wearing apparel, and the Chamber of Com merce might father suclra movement In such a way that It might ultima tely extend over the entire country. " "U such a thing Is undertaken, It should be launched now in order that it may be worked out and extended to its utmost possibilities, and the necessary preparation made by manu facturers and dealers for the spring and summer trade of 191G. "In many States for at least six months In the year, cotton goods qan be worn comfortably and can fulfill entirely the requirements of the wardrobe. Suits, dreeees, underwear, sboes hats can all be made of cotton In attractive designs and can be worn with much more comfort and greater economy than many things which we ar? accustomed to wear made of other tteWlais.

Since I am his keeper." said he, "1 must give him the best I have, which Is the Gospel." The receht sweeping prohibition vic tory in Virginia was referred to as a result of the application of the same great principle. ?The need of missions is . urgent, thought the speaker, because of the presence of evil in this and in all lands. The time is favoring In the. heathern lands to carry the Gospel because, if-the renaissance of Oren tal governments and thought. Mr. Harrell gave an his reasons for believing hi missions: 1. Because Christ taught it, and ihat Is a sufficient reason. 2. The disciples practiced It. They lived for It and they died for it. Ste phen, the first martyr, lost his life because of his missionary zeal. 3. Because It is right. Every man ought to have a chance at eternal life. To the proposition does It pay? Mr. Harrell Bhowed from the statis tics of last year that for every $23 spent for missionary work on the for eign fields one baptism had. been re ported. The price would"not be con sidered too high, If It were your own child who was saved. Jl U. B. C, Jhe J., J. Davis Chapter U. D. C.'i wili meet with, Mrs. W. E.
