Play Safe on Cotton.
The biggest cut in the price of cotton goods
since the Civil War was announced recently.
This was followed last week by a sensational
break in the cotton market and in one day last
week cotton went down 200 points, or about
$10 a bale making a total decline of about 400
points in cotton in three weeks time.
It is true that part of this big loss has since
been regained, but it was a heavy reduction in
freight rates on cotton to England that caused
the market to rally.
These things should cause the farmers to do
a good deal of thinking before they plant a big
crop of cotton this spring.
Even now, many farmers are making plans
fer spring planting, and in 90 days from now
planting will be in full swing.
The prosperity of the entire South for several
years to come may depend upon the size of the
cotton crop this year.
Overproduction is a mighty dangerous thing,
and should be guarded against.
The average cotton farmer is the most invet
erate and resolute opponent of a big acreage
of all human beings. He believes the acreage
ought to be reduced—in fact he will express
himself stronger and say that he KNOWS the
acreage ought to be reduced.
He believes further that the thing ought to
be accomplished by letting the other fellow do
the reducing.
Diversification has been preached for years
and now is a good time for the farmers to prac
tice it, for no one knows how low the price of
cotton may go next fall if there is a big crop of
it made this year.
It is going to cost a great deal of money to
make a cotton crop this year, and its a mighty
good time for every farmer to play safe and
produce an aOundance of food crops.

That is an excellent idea that is being car
ried out in some portions of the North where
a tree is planted for every boy that has gone
to France to fight for freedom. We believe
this a magnificent plan, and pass this bit of
information along to others with the hope that
it will be adopted here in the South. The tree
planted may be either a fruit or a shade tree,
but the idea is to plant one that is rather long
lived, so that the deed of the boy will be re
membered for a long time to come. A pecan
tree is particularly appropriate for this purpose,
because of its long life and because it serves
well, both as a shade tree and a producer.

Small change required to pay war tax or
many retail articles caused the Governmenl
mints to produce 307,614,000 1-cent pieces it
1918, a record output, according to a report bj
Raymond T. Baker, director of the mint. A tot
al of 538,160,000 coins were minted, more thar
ever before in the nation’s history, but owing t<
the large proportion of pennies the value of th<
output was lower than in 1919. The number o
nickels minted was 45,334,000; dimes, 68,645,
000; quarters, 32,692,000, and half dollars, 20,
769,000. Neither dollars nor gold coins wer<
minted.

“Don’t talk any louder than you live,’
said a Southern bishop in addressing an assem
bly of young men. If all of us would live U]
to this motto there would be much less unnec
essary noise in the world.
Stern Justice for Germany.
Germany must make good. She must restore
what she has destroyed, sc far as that is hum
anly possible. Her sins are not to be forgiven.
The hun must pay the penalty for his crimes.
Let stern justice be meted out. Let no mauldin
sentiment interfere with the retribution to be
suffered by Prussian militarism and all it re
presents.
Bulgaria and Turkey, having been even
worse than the Hun, were that possible, should
be punished equally as severe as Germany.
No punishment can fit the crimes of the Bul
gar, the Hun and the Turk.but that is no excuse
for the cheap talk of pity and forgiveness
which is now a feature of Germany’s whining
propaganda.
The only peace the American people will as
sent to is one that will insure tranquility for the
world for the coming generations.
Severe punishment for the perpetrators of
this great crime against humanity is one of the
best ways to prevent a recurrence of such a
thing.
Remember Belguim and the Lusitiania.

Recontruction here and abroad will be a
long and slow job. But the good old U. S. A.
can stand it better than any other country, for
she has had the fewest losses of men, money
and material; she has the best money, the best
banking system, the largest credits and small
est debt relative to the resources of this might
iest of all the nations—mighty for righteuos
ness. Wisdom in changing back to peace means
good times here and joy for the whole world.
-y
Hog and hominy for this year is one resolu
tion that might well be made. If every farmer
who is at aii situated so ne can raise hogs and
will produce feed enough to fatten them the
country would be far more prosperous. Enough
hogs, and feed to fatten, should be raised for
the meat supply of every farmer’s family. Those
who have their own meat will save cash that
can be used for other necessities.

Both houses of the legislature have passed
a bill amending the Brundidge primary law,
fixing the date of the primary on the escond
Tuesday in August, instead of in May. This is
a good change and will meet the approval of
the people.

Senator Kirby was one of the few Democrats
to vote to exonerate LaFollette for making sedi
tious speeches against the government during
war. There are men in prison now who did not
know any better, for making remarks less of
fensive than LaFollette.—Stephens News.

The best way to keep your boy on the

it. Make him your partner and let him share

We Do Not Care
WILL D. MUSE
M e do not care what i /orld may say
If those whom we love are true.
We do not mind the toil of the day
If we know in the dusk and dew
Someone is waiting to welcome us—
A home where the heart can rest—
Some one who whispers, “Dear Heart, I know'
1 hat today you have done your best.”
W e do not mind if the thorns are sharp
( Or the pathway is rough and steep;
V\ e do not mind if we toil and sow
? For others to come and reap;
If we can hear, when the twilight come
Anil the red in the wrest grows gay,
- ^ dear voice whisper these words so low’,
; “Yru have fought a good fight today.”
1 he heart doesn’t care what the w’orld may say
If those whom it loves are true,
. hoi- it is ever and always the heart’s own way
To long for the love and rue;
" ^ forget the gain, or the loss and its pain.
1 hat tortures our aching breast,
If there’s one to whisper in sweet blind faith,
I know you have done your best.”

milk in winter
Why do your cows give less
milk in winter than they do in
summer? Just because nature
does not supply them with
grasses and green food. But
we have come to the assistance
of nature with B. A. Thomas’
Stock remedy which contains
the very ingredients that the
green feed supplies in season,
only, of course, in a more high
ly concentrated form. We
guarantee that this remedy
will make vour cows give more
milk, and better milk, with the
same feed. F. C. Hoyt & Co.,

Son.
