To peep al the bright summer sky,
Have closed them again ere the dewdrops

But thanks for our hopes! As we gaze from

Down the long winding track OF life's way
HOW they cheat our glad eyes with the fond

How they walk by our sides, where the win

To hunt for the rose root that bore us sweet

In the warm III Of last summer air
Oh sweet Is their whisper, as our souls are
down driven
And our loves and our life plans all fail,
For they tell OF a sea and storm-guarded
haven
Where, IN safety, our missing ships sail!
They tell Of field, where the blossoms that
left US
Bloom again in the light of the day
And of Him who in love. not in wrath, so
bereft us
When He bore your loved darling away
He hath passed from the labors of earth, err

Ere the greatness and power that stamp et

More roundIap bales are being used in
Southern mills this season than ever
before. The Massachusetts Mills at
Lindale, Ga, and the Langley Manu-
featuring Co., and the Graniteville
Manufacturing Co., at Augusta, Ga,
have spun large quantities of cotton
baled by this process with entire salts
faction. These bales would be used
more largely in the South but for the
tact that they can be sold more profit
ably to foreign spinners, who will take
every roundlap bale made In order to
demonstrate the roundlap bales ad-
vantages, the American Cotton Co., is
disposed, on even terms, to give AmeIi-
can spinners the preference, Whether
sold at home or abroad. every bale that
leaves a roundap press has wide and
steady market at top prices. While the
American Cotton Co., is always ready
to buy roundlap bales, it does not res
quire that single bale be sold to its
cotton department. licensees and other
owners of roundlap bales being free to
sell in the open market to the buyer
who will pay the most money. So far
from discouraging, the company well
comes the competition of other buYers
for roundlap bales. The farmer who
hauls his seed cotton to roundlap gin
can sell it on the spot at the highest
market price. or he can hold it with the
assurance that his roundlap bales will
always bring their full value. The
American Cotton Co., makes liberal
advances on "held' roundlap bales.
