I : " Gastonia, Tbe Soutb'a City of Spindles - "New times dtmand new measures and new men; The world advances and in time outgrows The laws that in our fathers' day were best; And, doubtless after us some purer scheme Will be shap.d out by wiser men than we, . . . , J . L I Aiaae wiser Dy me sieaay growin oi truth. The time is ripe, and rotten ripe, for change; Then let it come; I have no dread of what Is called for by the instinct of mankind. Nor think I that God's world would fall apart Because we tear a parchment more or less. Truth is eternal, but her effluence, With endless change, is Gtted to the hour; Her mirror is turned forward, to reflect The promise of the future, not the past." James Russell Lowell. THE OUTLOOK FOR COTTON. Cotton has declined in value mm i I there is a loss of more than 1 ,0011,1100, 0O0 on the H'1'0 crop. Cotton, the f outh 's chief commodity has cease. 1 to be "a cash article. Quoted values are far In low the eost of prodiu tion. Theie ia little demand for cotton at prices' even below (puliation-. The prospe.t for increased production are not hope ful. There is now enough cotton to last nearly two years at the prewar iimiii.iI rate of consumption. Knglisli spindles are operating only twenty four hours a wefk. Dmnestii consumption is far below normal. In l'uroK' there are : ti,i m,i HJO les sjiiu dies fit. for service than lucre were in lHH. The total spindle.ipe of the world has 1 1 ecreii.se.

According to the Manufacturers Hcc ord, farmers are licgiiiniug to learn a little common sense from the practice of the biisiiie.s men in the cities in know ing when to curtail production. He i liegiuuing to learn something about i,.,,!,,., IK lie is beginning to find out where he has been losing money and why, and is not disposed to keep on for rii'r losing money to accomodate city consumers'. If the farmer should conclude to fol low the teaching of the bankers and restrict his production to the extent that the bankers restrict credits whenever it si. its their convenience to do so Or if he should follow the example of the iron men who have blown out a large proportion of the furnaces in the tiy because they could not find a ready market for their iron and refuse to keep on piling it up. a course which nobody is criticising Or if he should follow the example of the cotton manufacturers who stopped their mills as soon as they could find 110 market for their goods. He would only be showing that he had learned a lesson of common sens,, from ether business men. There is no more reason why the farmer should keep on growing a surplus which lie cannot sell, whether it be cotton or wheat or corn it hogs, than there is why an iron fur nine or a steel plant or a cotton mill should not keep on running when it can not market its goods, but would only keep piling up the stock without the cash or the credit to carry the stuff iudefinitelv. The farmers are beginning to ordinary business common sense, see that thev are no longer wise learn They when ill times such as the present they keep pioducing when they cannot find a ready market for their product and cannot find' tie credit or cash with which to cam i until the market is ready to take it. but city consumers hold up their hamN i honor the moment a farmer begins to talk about reducing his acreage. Thc. protest that that is an unholy thing and that the farmer is guilty of a crime a gainst Immunity if he lessens his acre age of cotton or wheal or com, or le cues the number of his livestock.

Royal and Corona Typewriters ImbininfSa'jfirticn f S For years the demand for Buick cars has always exceed ed the supply - even when Buick production mounted to 500 cars daily. Because of the material curtailment of motor car production this winter, the country faces a decided shortage of quality cars this spring and sum mer. Consequently Buick dealers are advising motorists to place their Buick orders now because orders must be sent to factory months in advance of delivery. The reason why the demand for Buick cars has always exceeded the supply is more pronounced than ever in the 1921 Buick. Coupled with the noted Buick power and dependability are added riding comfort, easier control and a beauty and grace that fittingly express Buick worth. Authorized Buick Service insures full return on Buick investment. , y Since January first, regular equipment on all models includes cord tires.
