through the top of their hats and
say things that are going to be
done and not be done, in a hot
headed way and the organization
as a whole IS sized up as about
the same caliber. | object to
some OF my friends who never
lose an opportunity Of adversely
criIclsing the intentions Of the
man behind the plow, as being
wrong. | have my doubts as to
the big crop OF cotton predicted
oy some for this season, the peo-
pie nave come 10 realize that
there Is more in a small crop of
cotton than in a large one and
the weather conditions have been
very unfavorable for planting
low lands most especially.
The battle cry is to stay out of
debt, raise what you consume at
nome, then what cotton you can.
I Yours to serve,
FRONTS LINER.
