ASHER OF BANK OF COM
 MERGE ADDRESSES PIBLJC
Advises Farmers Against Raising Cotton at This Time Asks Co., operation of Bankers, Farm
 CTS and Merchants.

One of the results of recent confer ences at Washington and elsewhere on the cotton situation brought about by the European war is a concerted move ment to bring about a reduction in the cotton acreage of the South next 1 year.
 George W. Rogers, cashier of the Bank of Commerce, who was a con- spicious figure in the conferences, has just issued an address to the farmers. merchants, and bankers, in which he comes to the following conclusions.
 "The signs of the times are plain: it will be suicide to go ahead and plant cotton as has been done in the years gone by, and expect the planter to be able to buy his feed-stufs The time has come when our cotton country must feed itself or go hungry.
 Tt is only fifty years since we had what we called a great war in this country; but in point of numbers of men engaged it was nothing compared to the present war. At that time, wheat jumped from 68 cents per bush el to S3.S5 Will history repeat it. self? Are you willing to take the chance of going hungry? Now is the time you must decide The banker the merchant and the farmer must CO., operate. They must work together for the common good of all, each owes a duty not only to himself, but to his neighbor.
 If the farmer is so foolish as to say he is going to raise nothing but cotton now-that he has raised it all his life-that it is all he knows; and as everybody else is going to cuttail the crop; therefore he will raise large crop and get a good price for it; the merchant owes a duty to the com munity in which he lives not to extend that man one cent of credit; and if the merchant is so short sighted as to go ahead and extend the credit anyway, the bank owes duty to the communi- ty and itself to decline both merchant land farmer credit.
 This is the only way and only plan of salvation for our country.
 "We are witnessing the greatest war the world has ever known Time will be hard. Every one will be re- quired to make sacrifices, but if we are big enough and brave enough for each one to go ahead and do his full duty in the matter-work- and work hard-look out for himself and extend help to the less fortunate of his neigh bors, we will come out better, bigger and stronger than ever.'

and who could not be induced to wed

world wonders why one particular

1t cannot be doubted that love will

ANCIENTS KNEW OF GLAZING
Proof That Early Inhabitants Of Me5-

The discovery by Henry G. Mercer
Of Daylestown, Pa, that the ancient
inhabitants Of Mexico used a glazing

pottery has reyolutionized the views
Of ceramic experts at the University
Of Pennsylvania, and may lead, says
American Art News, to the discovery
of beds Of clay suitable for use today.
Mr.. Mercer, who is an expert on til
ing, and a former curator Of the Uni
versity museum, during a recent study
Of Mexican potteries at the museum,
had his attention called to the vari-
ance in workmanship in certain col
lections. He promptly classified the
potteries as possessing two different
kinds Of clay, and was surprised to
find that distinct glaze was still APP

The ancient Egyptians, says Mr..
Mercer, did not glaze their works, thu
Chinese adopted this precaution at a
later date to make their vessels Inn

been established by this time, how
ever, and the use of the glazing art
by prehistoric Mexicans may unfold
interesting ceramics.

THE BUSINESS GIRLS HOPES.

Hope makes one confident and gay:
Clouds at her bidding disappear
Points she to aught, the bliss draws neat
And fancy smooths the way.
It is not every young woman who
considers that marriage is the jump
ing-off place Of satisfied ambition and
hope. There are girls of a thoughtful
turn Of mind who consider it praise
worthy to fit themselves for some
especial duty in this work-a-day world.
When young women knows that she
has no one to look to for support, she
realizes that she must buckle on the
armor and face the situation not only
bravely but eagerly. Those who must
earn their own living look with won-
der upon the weaklings who shrink
from honest labor.
They pity the poor creatures who
sit with folded hands in a home that
is in imminent danger Of being dis
rupted each time rent day rolls
around, waiting for some man to come
along, fall in love with them and
marry them.
They never know what it is to have
penny of their own in their pocket.
and must bow submissive to the
whims Of the head Of the house no

rebel in secret.

Neither does she wear fflmy lace
