The lusty bears are having a good

The lusty bears are having a good
time buying cotton now that will bring
10 cents or more in a little while.
Don't get ratified about the low price
Of cotton. Everything else that you
can put your hand on is away up, and
Il does not stand to common sense
that the price will remain low, when
We already see that the big excess
that has been figured on has gone to
The bugs and worms. Don't get ex.
cited about it. Just hold to the cotton
til you get a profit making price for
Il. Do you know that many hundred
thousands of bales of cotton has been
raised this year that will never be
gathered? That is a solemn fact. The
labor can not be had to gather it at
any price. Between scarcity of labor,
long continued rain in important Sec
tons, bugs and worms everywhere,
there will be no excessive crop.
