hearts these men never could have
won as they did Barak could not have
discomfitted Sisera but for the great
assistance Of faithful Deborah. The
world could not be redeemed without
the Virgin Mary. But for the wives,
sisters and mothers our soldiers never
could have achieved the victories they
did. Today as we scatter flowers
over the graves at home, we can but
think Of the many soldiers dead whose
graves are marked unknown" But,
God knows where these loved ones
sleep, and he will watch their sacred
dust until he shall bid it rise. The
sun in his shining course by day will
sprinkle those unknown graves with
his golden beams; the moon as she
walks in her brightness will cast a
silver sheen over them by night, and
the stars in their solemn marches will
forever keep vigilance over them.
These soldiers did their best and
their reward Is sure.

Begin at the Bottom.

(Exchange.)
There is no other place to begin
than at the beginning. If you are
starting to learn business, you can
not start too low down. Many boys
make the mistake in thinking that
the acceptance of humble position
at a very small salary is an acknowl-
edgment of inferiority. But the
higher building is to reach, the
lower the foundation must be laid.
The master of business must know
it from the bottom to the top. The
college graduate who is not afraid
to put on overalls and go to work in
factories or machine shops, stands a
far better chance than if he drew
back fearing that this would be an
admission that his education was
a failure. Don't be afraid to begin
at the beginning.

Lsng Lived Apple Trees.
(Outing.)

How old can an apple tree grow?
have few Of the trees planted by
Sconondoah, the Oneida chief, with
Dominic Kirkland, the missionary in
1871. These trees, now considerably
more than 100 years old, still bear
an abundance Of fruit. The wood is
In good condition Notwithstanding
many years of neglect.
The average age of an orchard as
generally planted and cared for rare
ly exceeds fifty years. | am inclined
to think that the more sturdy sorts
can be made to exceed $50 years. In
order to attain any such age there
must be selection of varieties and
they must be grated high up on
tough stock. Our fathers apple
trees were grated in the tops, but
the apples planted in these days are
grated in the roots. However, one
must not cling too long to an old
tree.

Kehnedy's Laxative Cough Syrup is
used nearly everywhere, because it not
only heals irritation of the throat and
stops the cough, but it drives the cold
out of the system through its laxative
principle by assuring a free and gentle

only way to cure a cold. You cae't

Texas has produced and consumed.
England has manufactured. The
manufacturer placed the price on the
bale of cotton bought from the pro-
Queer and the manufacturer also
placed the price on the calico sold
to the consumer. Neither the pro-
Queer nor the consumer were con-
suited in fixing prices. Raw material
makes no country influential in bust
ness. In fact, the more raw mate
rial we produce, the more helpless
we become. Manufacturing is just
the reverse. The more factories we
have, the more powerful we become
in commerce.
Texas has the raw material. Our
cotton runs the spindles of Europe.
Texans have the money. The recent
panic caught US with millions of dol
lars loaned the East on securities of
manufacturers. Only 3 per cent. of
our wealth is invested in factories.
We have no cotton mills. Why?
This is a question that every COM
mercial club in Texas should care
fully study and upon it's final solu-
ton depends the commercial supre-
macy Of Texas.
Why should we send the cotton
away in the form of bale of cotton?
Why not send furniture to other
countries in the log?
We have much to learn. About
the first lesson is in factory build
ing. The land of cotton should be
the land Of cotton mills. In manu-
featuring lies our very best oppor-
tunity. Shall we longer neglect it
and take the bears price for the raw
cotton?

Travels OF a Bale OF Cotton.
Cotton Oil News.)

The farmer produces a bale Of cot
ton which he sells for $50. Accord
Ing to Government estimates, it cost
the farmer $40 to raise this bale of
cotton. The bale is shipped to Eng
land and manufactured into cotton
goods. The freight, commission, in
surance, etc., amounts to $40 bale.
The manufacturer pays labor 500 to
finish the product. A bale of cotton
makes 5000 yards Of calico. The
manufacturer sells this calico to the
Texas merchants for a cents per
yard, or S12O. The merchants add l
cent per yard to the cost price, and
the farmer buys his bale of cotton
back for $3.50. The farmer has made
the payroll for the railroad, steam
ship, manufacturer and merchant,
and paid their taxes and all other ex-
penses in connection with the trans
action. The average Texas cotton
crop is estimated at 100000 bales,
