GOD gave man this world to enjoy
He means to share his own pleasure
IN 1t with His children. So he has
made 1t exhaustless in it's beauty and
variety and interest. Whoever does
not find delight in the fields and
flowers and birds and skies has
missed one of the first and best de-
lights of existence. That is an in
verified and unnatural mode of life
which seeks recreation in pictures
and books and parlor games and
public entertainments. and ignores
the simple joys which God has pro-
vided in His great out of doors. There
are persons who will spend five dol

Modern teachers are equipped with
a multitude of books, and they send
their students to the libraries But
the Great Teacher, who has stimula-
ted more thought and study than any
other, was content to find most of
MS lessons in the everyday life about
MIN. He bound up common things
with profound spiritual messages.
The birds of the air and the grass of
the field were his interpreters of a
profound philosophy of life. With
this example, we may not despise as
puerile and shallow the nature study
In which so much delight and in

Determining Differences.

The crucial point, the report adds. is
the method by which these differences are
determined.
The New York exchange, it is
claimed. arbitrarily fixes the relative val
ues C'differences'O of different grades OF
cotton to be applied in the settlement of
future contracts for nearly year in adj
vance. 1t Is on its face impossible to
make successfully long forecast of
future conditions of supply and demand
These differences will. therefore, often be-
come incorrect The seller of the con-
tract. exercising his option will. of
course. select for delivery those grades
which are at the time most overyalued
by such incorrect differences. Therefore
the prospective buyer of the contract dis
counts this danger of generalization by
bidding less for the future contract itself
than he would for spot (actuaD cotton
Thus. fixed differences inevitably result
in frequent depressions of the price of
futures, as compared with the actual
market value of cotton. In 1906-7, when
the New York differences greatly over
valued the lower grades. the future price
fell as much as 200 points below the spot
price OF middling. Widespread practical
INJURY to the cotton trade follows from

with the result that the merchant Is

Criticism of New York Exchange.
The report while recognizing that the
exchanges in New Orleans and New
York are necessary, does not mince
words in criticising the New York ex-
change. After declaring that the New
Orleans method of conducting the
transactions in cotton follows natural
lines. the report draws attention to the
fact that 1t has been proved that the
abnormal depressions in the future
price in New York were almost wholly
due to improper artificial conditions
now maintained by the New York Cot
ton Exchange. BY maintaining them
the New York exchange is responsible
for very real injury TO the producer

While the proposed remedy may seem I'M

ed when tuberculosis takes a hold upon
