 The cotton belt, enclosed within the walls of the Appalachian range of mountains on two sides, and the ocean and the Gulf of Mexico from the James River to the tooth degree of west longitude on the other two sides, is a cul-de-sac that is swept by the trade winds that cross the Gulf Stream and carry it's warm waters across its en- tire area.

 A psychologist was talking about dreams.
 Every dream. like every laugh em tear, has It's cause" he said. Every we'll known type of dream has a cause equally well known.
 You dream, for instance. that you are in church. or at the theatre, or ah the street, with hardly any clothes dn you, and you nearly die of sham The bed coverings falling off is the cause Of this dream
 "You dream that a dog has bitten you. or an enemy has given you stab with a knife. Some slight pain a cramp. a touch of rheumatlsm--is behind all such dreams.
 "Innumerable persons dream of fly ing. Time and time again they dream this dream. II Is because the respira- ton of sleep. great deep. biliowy breaths. rising and falling rhythmIeal- ly are so akin to flying that they bring, visions of it to the sleepeN mind.
 An uncomfortable position in the bed causes dreams of painful effort of uncomfortable hard work. like moun~ tain climbing or the lifting of heavy weights
