iAing IS because 1t is a process Of
fraying the nerves. One takes wool
or flax, and to use the term Of the
laboratory, tears 1t out until the
minutest strands are separated, one
from the other. There is no longer
organization. simply organic matter
that has lost it's function. 1t is 80
with the nerves when one habitaully
frets. Worry wears and tears the
tender nerves that do the tremen-
dous work Of carrying sensations to and
from the brain and that surpass any
registry ever devised in their regis
tration Of emotional values.
AS fretting lacks harmony it is not
fit for transmission along a system de-
vised for accord; as it lacks logic. it
has no place in system whose pur-
pose is primarily to bring the sensa-
tions that enter the brain into right
forms Of thought OF impulse. So fret
ting is only wearing and fraying
process. 1t is the delicate nerve sys-
tenn that suffers in the process. One
feels that he has a brain as heavy as
lead, mind that simply will not re-
spOnd to the ordinary process OF
quickening because it has become
sodden, leaden and lifeless.
Why do people fret? It is not
pleasant to portray the delights of
peace and placidity. But at times it
becomes necessary to awaken fret
ters to the peril they invite in order
to make them desist from the most
needless and the most cruel self-pun-
ishment that they can suffer.
Fretting is altogether a habit. 1t
is often much more disastrous than
any Of the habits that society organ
ICES to combat. Why then do people
fret? When they feel the dull sense
of fear, without being able to ascribe
it to any particular fact, why do thew
not reS0lutely turn the mind to other
channels? 1t can be done. The habit.
ual frctter should practice pain
stakingly, day by day, the art of SELF
control and secure the development
Of nerve force. 1t is not a work of
a moment. but the moment one re-
solves not to fret and register that
resolution deeply in the brain cells.
that moment has he marked his
emancipation.
When one determines no longer to
fret he seeks something as a foil to
the induccment, ard in so doing he
finds some aid, he finds some COM
paniOnship, he finds some consoIatorv
books, he finds some legitimate and
helpful cult. Every one may find the
anti-fretting helps that will enable
him to overcome the debilitating hab-
1t Of worry.

-. ~ otncis VINO are having their
own troubles.
Robert E. Goepel, of Port Gibson,
Miss, whose family has been raising
cotton for many years on their plan
tation in Claiborne county, Mississippi,
is here arranging for the building Of
a cottonseed oil mill. He sticks to the
the old Southern negroes and will use
them on the big plantation his
family has purchased here.
Negroes on our plantation in Clai-
borne county will be brought here as
soon as we can begin planting cotton"
he said. The boil weevil has written
the doom Of cotton in Mississippi. The
planters are moving away. 1 know
of a number Of planters who have
bought land in Imperial Valley, and
they will bring hundreds Of negroes
from the old plantations to work the
fields.
"A few years ago Claiborne county
yielded 27,0O0 bales Of cotton in a
season. The last crop was only A.
soc bales. At one time the Port Glib
son oil works crushed 10000 tons Of
cotton seed year. That has dwind-
led almost to nothing. The passing
of cotton in parts Of the South is a
tragedy which the planters do not
know how to meet. The negroes
know cotton and cotton alone; they
will not tend any other crop. The
only recourse is migration, and the
planters when they emigrate will take
their negro workers with them"
