SeIf-C0ntr0H.

One of the almost invariable symp-
toms of softening of the brain. such as
in aged persons is called senile demen-
tia, is a telling of distrust and resent
ment toward those who should be near
est and dearest and corresponding
tendency to make friends and conf
dents Of comp 4rative strangers.
sometimes think that a great many
bf us must be sufferers from this dis
tressing malady in its incipient stages,
when realize howimany are less con-
slider ate of the feelings of those who
are nearest and dearest than we are Of
persons who really have little claim
upon us.
How many men exercise commend
able self-control all day in dealing
with the many little annoyances in
the store or the Office and then 60
home and stir up a small imitation of
Hades because some little thing goes
wrong? How many merchants treat
q disagreeable woman customer with
great deal more forbearance and
consideration than they show to their
own wife? It is good business to be
nleasant to a disagreeable customer,
but isn't it more important than busi-
ness to overlook some possible short
comings on the part of the wife? Why
do we forbear mentioning our neural
ola to the evening caller and then
make it topic of conversation for the
family at the dinner table? Is it not
true that we often show greater cour-
tesv to chance acquainta nee than to
the members of our own family?

Cotton Prospects And
Cotton Prices.

Progressive Farmer.
There Ia going to be big cotton
! crop this year unless something Who'll
ly unforeseen happens. No doubt
! about it. There is little doubt, either,
| that the crop will not be as big as the
Government figures have been indi-
eating. In the last week or so there
has been marked decline in the pros
poets in various sections. There is no
need to get excited and conclude that
"the bottom is going to drop out OF
prices" Prices will undoubtedly be
lower than for last years crop; but if
the farmers use plain business judg-
ment in marketing, there need be no
wholesale slump. OF course, there is
a lot of cotton that will be forced on
the market az soon as it is ginned; but
if the growers who do not have to
sell will only sit steady and refuse to
sell on falling market, prices can be
held at renumerative figure. No.
vember and December futures are now
bringing little over II cents. Now,
II cents is low enough-even if the
crop proves to be as large as is expect
ed, it should certainly be the mini
mum. We do not believe that IL cents
would be an unreasonable price to
stand for; but whatever the price, cot
ton growers should agree upon some
pricean demand it. If they do, they
can at least get reasonable price; if
they do not, the market is likely to
go to pieces and the large cotton crop
will actually bring less than would a
small one.
