lities have been greatly increased since then.
 Four Final Suggestions.
 Let me conclude this argument for twelve-cent prices with four specific suggestions:
 1. Let press and people spread the news that the crop is really short certainly 3,0O0,O00 and possibly 5,000,- 900 bales short of the worlds needs.
 ?. Hold for twelve cents without borrowing if you can. But remem- Der "it is committing business suicide" to refuse to borrow if you can there by hold your cror
 3. Not only should cotton bf'ng twelve cents but cottonseed prices should break ali records. Our export trade in cotton seed oil has jumped over sixty per cent in one year-from 192 100000 to 31S,O00000 pounds. And if good prices were paid for seed of a 17,O0O,O0O crop, what sort of prices should we not demand for seed from a crop of only 10,000,000 or 12,000,- 900 bales?
 1. With $5O0,OOO,OOO for her new cotton crop, the South will barely "pay out" With $750,000,000 the whole section will have jubilant and abounding prosperity. Bankers, mer- chants and all classes, therefore, should join our farmers in the fight for twelve cent prices now and for a State warehouse system in every State to help insure fair prices in fu- ture years.

BOX CAR EXCURSIONS"
 FOR FARM "VACATIONS"
Freight Trains May Be Utilized For Putting Laborers In Reach of Work.

Secretary Wilson of the department of labor has under consideration plans for further cooperation of the federal labor authorities and the industrial de partmcnts of the various states, out, lined ill q conference with Commis- sioner Caminetti and J. T. Fitzpatrick, secretary of the Association of Govern. mental Labor Officials.
 These plans, which had for their pur- pose the promotion of the efficiency of state labor laws and which dealt chief Iy with the unemployment question, were discussed at the congress of the state commissioners in San Francisco.
 One of the most important questions concerning the means of finding work for the unemployed was that of trans portation of seasonal laborers. Steps will be taken to coordinate the slack periods in the factories with the har- vest season in the west. Efforts will be made, 1t Is said, to persuade the factory owners to use the summer sea sons to overhaul their plants, thus per hitting mill employees to take prof itable vacation on farms instead of losing time in the winter season when other work Is difficult to find.
 Another scheme for relieving the un- employment situation provides for box car excursions when the railroads are sending empty trains westward for grain. These excursions would make cheap transportation possible when the workingman can find ready market for his labor on the farms.
 The opening of federal lands or the buying in of districts under bond issue has also been considered by the labor department in Washington. This would permit the large number of skilled farm workers who have left the coun- try districts in unsuccessful attempts to find city work an opportunity to "get back to the soil' and eventually own their own lots by means of easy payments.

Survivor Describes Loss of Irresistible

A corporal of marines who was on board the Irresistible when she was struck by a mine in the Dardanelles has described in q letter to a friend the sinking of the ship.
 We unfortunately struck mine," he wrote. and began to sink, which the Turks could see, and they peppered our poor old ship with shells as we were going down. How we escaped being blown to atoms 1 don't know.
 "Everything went off grand. and the amusing sight was to see all hands blowing up their swimming collars. On the quarterback ths boys were dancing the bunny hug and singing ragtime songs 10 mouth organ accom- paniments.
 The shells began to creep nearer and nearer, and our old ship was list ing heavily to starboard. We couldn't fire our guns because the ship was leaning right over. A torpedo boat came full speed down the Dardanelles among awful shell fire and saved near Iy all hands. It Is really marvel to me that she was not smashed all 10 bits"

WHAT ARE YOU GOING
 TO DO ABOUT IT

The liquor interests appear to have surrendered They will make no eff fort to repeal the statewide prohi- bition law by initiation. They may try to secure it's repeal by the Legis- lature of 1917. Some of the largest liquor houses of the state will remove to St. Louis, Kansas City, or some other safe haven, and several others are preparing to go into other busi- ness. The attitude of the saloonists generally is indicated by the follow ing sign posted over the bar of one of them, according to the report of those who have seen it:
 Don't ask us what we are going to do.
 What are you going to do about it ?"
