cessions. The local merchants are
graduallys abolishing the old-time
complimentary methods of selling
goods to ministers. All of the other
n of outside help are becoming
more and more clogged, until they
will soon be closed entirely. The
calls upon the minister's purse are
not lessening in number or insistence.
He is considered legitimate and easy
prey by many persons, members OF
MS own flock included. While all this
IS true, the cost of living is steadily
mounting higher and the salary that
several years ago might have been
ample to provide a living is no longer
sufficient.
mo matter how small his salary,
whether it is barely sufficient to keep
him and his family from starvation,
Or not, the minister must wear good
clothing and dress his family well, be-
cause the pride of the congregation
demands it. What a shame it is that
this Christian pride does not extend
to the point hal the parishioners are
willing to pay their pastor salary suf-
icient to enable him to dress as he
should without sacrificing his own or
his family's physical well being in so
doing.
ministers belong to the noblest
profession on earth. They deserve
better treatment than they are re-
ceiving. They are not beggars. In
the very nature of their profession
they cannot be and probably to that
fact IS due the disposition of churches
to pay them the least salary possible.
Few churches are paying what they
can afford. The tendency is all the
other way"
The Rev. Mr.. Greenleaf is forty-siX
years old. His family is his wife, five
daughters and one son. He came
here from Indianapolis, where he was
employed in the city engineers office
as a mechanical and civil engineer
craftsman. He thought that by extra
work as a craftsman he might earn
sufficient funds in addition to his sal
airy to support his family here in
comfort. However, the work of min
istering to three country churches
took too much Ct his time and the
opportunities for doing outside WORK
were few.

some modern archaeologists trace
back to a civilization a%ntedating that
of the Incas. Early Portuguese his
torians describe cotton as they found
1t in Brazil.
The cotton plant is a member of
the Malvaceoe or mallow family, and
the total number of species actually
existing is very large. In it's wild
state it is apt to be a perennial, but
when cultivated it frequently be-
comes an annual. In size the plant
varies from less than a foot high to
sixteen or more feet. The flowers are
greatly in size, while the color ranges
from a yellowish white to a pale vel
low and a rusty red. There are in
finite variations in the form and size
of the leaves, some being smooth and
glossy and others hairy, but they are
always lobed, having three, five or
seven lObes.> What is known as the
boil" is, for manufacturing purposes,
the most important part of the plant,
as it contains not only the seeds but
also the floss. The pure white va
rieties of fess, obtained by careful
cultivation and selection, are pre-
ferred, but among the brown and rust
colored varieties there are some of
high industrial value.
Cotton is primarily a native of the
tropics, and the number of species
diminish rapidly in direct ratio to
their distance from the equator. The
cotton plant, whether wild or cult
waited, is found in a belt of land en-
circlipg the globe between As de-
grees north latitude and 80 degrees
south latitude, though only where
local climatic conditions are favorable
can cotton be raised as far north as
As degrees, as for example in Asiatic
Russia, which has the same latitude
as Massachusetts.
The chief cotton-producing areas of
the world embrace: In the United
States, the southern states, including
all those parallel with or south of
North Carolina, as far west as New

cradle quantities of cotton are grown
or can be grown, are Paraguay, Colon

The Latin-American field has remark

AE first utilized in the indus
WV trial activities of the world
cannot be definitely estab-
lished. It does not appear
to have been cultivated or woven into
fabrics in ancient Egypt, and expert
chemical analysis of the cloths used
for wrapping Egyptian mummies
proves that these materials were of
linen and not cotton. The records OF
India, on the other hand, demonstrate
that from time immemorial the cot
ton plant was cultivated and it's fiber
converted into wearing apparel, and en-
ployed in the useful and ornamental
arts. Cotton has also been known and
used for a thousand years, at least, in
China and Japan. In the rich lltera-
ture of India this beneficent plant is
hardly more than incidentally men
toned. It's textile value and uses
were known to the Hebrews and
Phoenicians, and probably, through
the latter, to the Greeks and Romans.
The Arabs and Saracens introduced
cotton into western Europe in the
ninth century, but it was not until the
fifteenth century, when merchants OF
Genoa brought cotton to England, in
exchange for wooden goods, that it's
