The larkspur may remind someone Of fragile spires that taught the sim In some far legendary town . . . Though many spires are battered down They glisten in the dreams of men— And must climb toward the sky again! To someone else the larkspur came With urgency of lean blue flame That lifts its valiant light today Where mists had crept and walls were gray . . . Though many flames have left no more Than ashes on a storied shore, From drifting ashes must arise New lights for all the watching eyes. And Larkspur may but bring to you Faith in old gardens, lasting through Dissensions of the years, where climb The spires and flames that brighten Time— And lift the heart and mind to trust Things not apparent in tiie dust!

Rut there is one American industry big enough to take the increased demands of war-time effort in stride. It’s bigger than steel, bigger than airplane manufacture, bigger than ship building, bigger than munitions. It gives a live lihood to more than 14,000,000 Americans. Mil lions of farmers, half a million garment workers spread over a greater number of plants and a greater geographical extent than any other American industry—these are the people who make cotton great. They produce and process the crop which America uses in ten thousand ways. The time-tested excellence of cotton products pouring from this giant cornucopia of American industry is a guarantee to American comumers which war cannot destroy. In war-time as in peacetime, American cotton is the best buy. When we buy cotton we build America’s future. si Miss Floye Lee, of Erwin, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Roy Brown. • • • • Miss Lucille David, of Salters, S. C., is visiting Mr. and Mrs. H. S.
