convert into cloth the raw staple
which may be excluded from the Ger
man market. This, with the resump-
ton of shipments to England, France
and the Low countries should put our
domestic cotton industry in healthy
condition and further develop manu-
facture in this country"
And this raises an interesting ques.
ton which may affect Chickasha. We
have for several years had a non
knitting mill here, all efforts to start
its wheels having been unsuccessful
Isn't 1t possible that the war may fur
nish US the long-desired opportunity
to get this mill into operation? IT
would seem that the time is ripe for
action looking TO launching this new
industry. #@

~ FARM FACTS.

(By Petear Radford, National Lee
turer, Farmers Educational and Co
Operative Union of America)
Those who till the soil are the
chosen people of God.
Farming is as old as tn Q human race
and is yet in its infancy.
Success is bound to come to the
farmer who plans while he plows.
No civilization has ever advanced
beyond its agricultural development.
No farmer is successful who thinks
more of his barn than he does of his
home.
The development of the farmer him.
self must precede the full development
of the ground he tills.
The most beautiful fact in the farm
er's work is that everything he plants
is a lesson in faith.
The best farmer does not bother
about getting ahead of his neighbor;
his great business is TO get ahead of
himself
We must give to the people who live
on the farm the same educational adj
vantages for their children as those
of the cities enjoy.
The country clergy is an agency of
much potentiality because the rural
life movement is religions as well as
industrial and social.
There should be a social and an in
dustrial survey of every community.
The pastor, the teacher and the school
and church officials are they who
should make such a survey.
In a recent survey of a community
in New England, the average annual
income of 154 farmers who have a
common school education was 1929,
while the average net income of l22
farmers of the same locality with a
high school education was S4S2 an
nually. This was worth to each farm
er who possessed it $253 each year.

BRIGHTER VIEW OF THE COTTON
SITUATION.

A writer who contributes an article
to the Dallas News deals with the cot
ton situation as follows:
Many OF our cotton raisers, as well
as merchants and bankers, are alarm
cd over the movement of cotton. They
seem to think this product is put in
jeopardy and can not be moved at any
reasonable price. There is no correct
foundation for this belief. and the peo-
need not be alarmed. The movement
may be little slow, but II will come.
and at a price around 10 cents for
middling cotton. which is as low as 1t
ought TO be sold for.
Cotton ia q staple product. 1t is
used the world over, and lis almost as
Indispensable as wheat and corn. Cot
ton fiber is now used in the manufac-
ture Of more than 200 different arti-
cles, and new avenues are constantly
being discovered whereby this fiber
can be used successfully. The de.
mand is steadily increasing and will
continue to grow as greater utility Of
the product is discovered.
"The territory for growing is linn
tied and can not we'll be increased.
In a little while the world will be us
ing twice what ii is now.
"Our own country will absorb more
than a third of this crop. Another
third or perhaps half, will be bought
up by men who are content with a
reasonable rate Of interest and the
rest can be carried by the farmer,
merchant and banker until such time
as that IT may begin to move to for
eign countries. This years crop must
not be sacrificed 1t must bring
around 10 cents, and there must be a
unity of action and complete co-opera-
tion of all our people to the end that
our crop may be moved and at price
that is fair and reasonable.
"The emergency currency amend
ments recently passed by congress,
permitting the banks to take out emer-
gency currency, will put the banks IN
position to aid in the mater of pro-
tecting the price of cotton, and | am
sure they will give their support to
the vast advantage and entirely from
an unselfish standpoint"

We print today a very interesting
article by Prof. Munsterberg, giving
the German view of the war. 1t is a
valuable contribution to the discussion
of a subject which is engaging the at
tention OF the civilized world. AS in
terpreted by this great scholar the
war is an inevitable clash between
the Teuton and the Slav There is
much to be said on the other side Of
the question but the Germans are en-
titled to fair hearing.

1t is fair to presume that nearly
every reader of the Express possesses
something about their home, in the
way of household goods or other arti-

dreds of the readers of this paper are
always in the market to buy some arti-
Gle of household usefulness, if they
know just who had it for sale. The
Want" and "Sale" ad columns of the
Daily Express should be used for this
purpose. Such advertising is very
cheap and very effective, and in order
to stimulate the use of their columns.
the Express is going to make an open

We haven't a bit of consolation to
offer to Bob Wilson for the simple rea-
son that he doesn't need it. He was
re-nominated for state superintendent
by an overwhelming majority and he
has every reason to be proud of the
endorsement that was given to his ad-
ministration. With four years of ex-
perience to guide him Mr.. Wilson
should be able to make a still better
record during his next term.
