ybody everywhere would know it,
and spinners would. begin 50 bus hand
over fist in order not to be eaughs a.
shc very height Of the market. As
said, the federal government has no
power to 90 it, nor could we do it,
even if we he'd the power, because
the senators and representatives from
the balance of the Union would not
let us do it.
Blow to the Boil Weevil.
"In my own private opinion, it
would not be had thing K all the cot
ton states into any part of whose
area the boil weevil has thus far made
its appearance. or where it threatens
to make its appearance next year from
icing contiguous to boil weevil dis
tricts in other states, would forbid alb
solutely the planting of cotton next
year. If this were done it would not
only raise the price Of this years
crop, but of the crop of year after
next to such an extent as to compen-
safe us for the lack of any crop next
year at all. 1t would have another eff
feet, the benefit Of which is incalcu
liable, to wit: tine expiration of the
boil weevil. The scientists all tell us
that the boil weevil cannot exist
twelve months without cotton to feed
on.
Il have joined the 'Buy-a- Bale-of-
Cotton Club and have bought bale
at ten cents; but, in my opinion, even
if we could buy five or six million
bales in that way and carry it over it
would be merely postponing a day of
bad reckoning to a day of worse reck-
oning.
Nothing is to be hoped in the way
of reduction of ccreaage from the vol
untary action Of the producer.
1--WE do not want cotton to go too
high. We do not want to maintain a
permanent situation where the price
lis so high as to encourage all parts
of the earth 10 grow cotton TO pro-
coed to do it. II is a great mistake to
think that the area Of land adapted to
cotton is very restricted. India, China,
and good part Of tie temperate zone
elsewhere can raise cotton. All the
tropics can raise it in sort of W
and sort Ct cotton. The reason why
there is net more cotton grown in
China and India is because it pays
better to grow stuff to feed the teem-
ing millions of these countries, and
also because they never had had the
cotton planting business resting upon
the foundation of organization, which
we had in slavery times and which has
been, in large measure, perpetuated
since.
"If the world knew that cotton
would sell at twenty cents pound,
say, or even at sixteen cents for fif-
teen years to come unless cotton pro-
duction outside of the United States
should be very much increased, we
might safely wager that the increase
would come. We want to meet this
emergency and that desperate situa-
ton into which it has thorwn US with
a desperate remedy and after the

An Ironing Hint.

Fold : bath towel into four double
layers and lay the buttoued fastening
face down on it, and the iron will move
as easily over them as over the button
holes; also in ironing embroidery ON
the back, use the towel on top Of the
ironing board, press the design on the
wrong side and il will stand out much
better than when the towel is not

apply to the situation. The Japanese
soldiers have made a reputation for

The work Of the aeroplanes has
been picturesque. The Japanese are
using American-bnilt hydroplaies,
which fly splendidly. There seem to
be two G planes and two land
planes. Altogether, since their first
visit to T%sing-tau on September ),
over twenty reconnoitering flights

COMB SAGE TEA N
HAIR TO DARKEN II
Grandma kept her locks dark, glossy,
thick with a mixture of Sage
Tea and Sulphur.

The old.time mixture Of Sage Tea and
Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked
and faded hair is grandmother's treat
ment, and folks are again using it to
keep their hair a good, even color, which
is quite sensible, as wcsare living IN an
age when a youthful appearance is OF the
greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don't have the
troublesome task Of gathering the sage
and the mussy mixing at home. All
drug stores sell the. ready.to-usc product
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" for about 50 cents a bottle.
It is very popular because. nobody can
discover it has been applied. Simply
'moisten your comb O. q soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time; by morning
the gray hair disappears. but what de.
lights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur is that, besides, beautifully
darkenihS the hair after d few applica-
tions, it also produces that soft lustre
and appearance Of abundance which is 50
attractive; besides, prevents dandrut1,
itching scalp and falling hair.

ten in the early stages Of the siege
has been received from him.
Several months have passed since
Japan entered the war against Ger

Of this fortress in North China. III
that time the warships of Japan II
the Allies nave successfully prevent
ed Tsing.tau harbor from being used
as a naval base. Japsnese soldiers
have been landed and brought with
their equipment and artillery to the
borders of the leased territory, and
at the present time they fill the raw
ines and gullies back OF a range of
tills hemming in the German posi-
tions,-which lie across a peninsula
from kiao-Chow bay to the sea.
Facing the attacking forces across

1t took the Japanese three days at
ter they had brought up a division to
the borders of the leased territory to
push the German advance detachment
of five companies. eight machine guns
and ten field pieces, back to the pres
ent position just outside the city.
The Japanese advance began on Sep
TENDER 26. The engagement that fol
lowed was full of exciting episodes
and picturesque incidents. For in
stance, on the German right wing
high up at the top of Prince Heinrich
mountain, in what is called the
Eagles Nest, sixty German volun-
teers were stationed.
The position was valuable as an
observation point. So steep were the
paths that led up to it that soap could
be used to grease them and make the
access Of the Japanese difficult. The
Japanese surrounded the mountains
in force and climbed the steep slopes.
A heavy fight Of haIi a day took pace.
Many were killed and wounded. One
German sergeant and eleven men sue

its survey of the exposition Situation,

that participation arrangements by the

postponed as ..
These rumOrs are utterly without
foundation. Our loss in exhibits by
nations at war will be negligible.
"The standing Of the exposition
as a factor in the economic situation
resulting from war and as a factor in
obtaining new markets 10y American
producers is being realized by the
largest and most alert manufacturers
in this country and from the com.
mercial side the exposition becomes
more important than ever.

your vigorous assistance in our CT
fort to silence these rumors by pub
fishing the facts.
