young and tender editor of this

the blizzard to a small Tennessee
town. The office Of The hotel
was full of commercial travellers
trying to keep warm around a
single CRATE. A half-frozen
Italian organ grinder, with his
monkey, entered, but was crowded
away from the fire by the travel
ing men. He found a chair
away back in the corner of the
room and soon fell asleep. But
suddenly he woke with a
scream; the travelling men rushed
to him and asked him what was
the matter. He said he dreamed
! he was in hell and was freezing
to death. Freezing to death in
hell! How is that?' asked one
of the boys. "Well," replied

Theodore H. Price of New
York, in a recent sp9ech before
the New England Cotton Manu-
facturers' Association, expressed
the opinion that a large proper
ton of the agricultural population
of Arkansas in agreeing not to sell
cotton below a specified price is
under the antitrust law of the
state, guilty "of a conspiracy to
defraud." Defraud who? BY
agreeing not to sell cotton for
a price less than ten cents and to
limit the production, the farmers
of Arkansas, and of the South,
are guilty of an attempt to ad-
vance the price of the staple to
a figure for which they can
afford to raise it. 1t is an attempt
to control the cotton situation to
a certain degree, and surely the
producers should have a small
bit of the control rather than the
manipulators all of it. The pro-
ducers can get fair prices for
cotton if they keep up the fight.
