THE COTTON CROP MORTGAGE

In the Cotton Credits" bulletin re-
Gently issued by the extension depart
ment Of the A. & VI. College, r. /.
Bennett Of Paris, in discussing the
cotton crop mortgage as a basis OF
credit says:
THE farmer who raises nothing but
cotton is not a safe credit risk unless
cotton sells for more than 10 cents
a pound. We are not trying to en-
barrass farmers In making credit ar
rangements: we are trying 10 show
them and their creditors the safer
and better way OF basing credit on
food and food crops first and cotton
second. With food and feed raised
at home the farmer can pay his debts
with the cotton at even G cents
pound, though he can do much better
with other money crops than with
cotton at that price. But with moth
ing but cotton he cannot pay out even
at 10 cents a pound.
1.-THE present credit embarrassment
throughout the South is a demonstra'
ton in wholesale way that a one
crop system IS a hazardous business
as agricultural scientists and econo'
mists have long taught Bankers
credit merchants and cotton farmers
have despised the scientists and
economists, but now they are brought
face to face with the truth and find
It desperately embarrassing
II might be added that before the
boil weevils invaded this country
when everything was cotton, thou
sands Of crop mortgages were filed
every year in the office Of the county
clerk. many Of them security for bank
loans. but the majority Of them as
security to merchants for supplies to
run the farmer through the year
When the boil weevil came, however
and farmers began to raise hogs and
other diversified products, the num-
Der of mortgages decreased rapidly
ard in lust a few years such thing
as crop mortgage was scarcely
heard Of. 1t can also be truthfully
stated that Brazos County never
knew a greater era Of prosperity than
during that period of diversification'
When cotton prices advanced, how
ever, and the people returned to all
cotton. the crop mortgage came back
and has steadily increased in num-
bers. while prosperity has decreased
at the same ratio.
This year brought the climax in
our one.crop plan. as well as disaster.
The people are confronting crisis
and diversihcation is the only safe
way ont.

How hard the road may be for me,
How rough the trail that must
keep,
How weary all the toll may be-
Means nothing, dear, though
shadows creep.
If you, o Little Dreamer, there
With blood of roses" in each vein,
With yellow sunshine in your hair
And eyes like violets in the rain,
Shall only know the Lane of Light
Where God has kissed each shadow
white.
How far the song shall drift from me,
Who only hear the weary cry
OF sorrows ceaseless threnody
Beneath a dim and starless sky,
Shall matter not, if | but know,
o Little Dreamer, that your feet
Shall follow where the south winds
blow
Loves blossoms that shall make
life sweet;
Sweet through the years that wait for
you
With every,little dream come true

RUSSIANS PRAYER
FOR HIS HORSE

The Russians are in the habit of
using the following prayer for their
horses before going into action:
And for these also, o Lord, the
humble beasts who with us bear the
burden and heat of the day, and offer
their guileless lives for the well being
of their countries, we supplicate Thy
great tenderness Of heart, for Thou
hast promised to save both man and
beast, and great is Thy loving kind.
ness, o Master, Saviour of the world
Lord, have mercy"
Those also who have travelled over
some of the wide spaces of Russia
and Siberia, will appreciate the sim.
Pile trust shown in it, for Russians
have often to face dangers alone on
horseback in their great country even
in times Of peace.-Country Life.

Germany has issued orders TO her
soldiers not TO fraternize with the
soldiers Of the enemy at the front
This order was inspired by the fact
that on Christmas day the Germans
and English exchanged all kinds o.
little courtesles and even played o
foo. ball game. They were so pleased
with these little social interchanses
they agreed TO suspend hostiliies for
TWO more days. 1t Is supposed the
order was issued for fear the soldiers
would agree to stop fighting and thus
end the war Men will not play foot

morrow.

elaborate ceremonies we're held In
honor of the famous relic. Speaker
Champ Clark delivered the principal
address of the day. The Liberty Bell
was escorted through the down town
streets and to the Exposition grounds
following it's arrival here by United
States troops and thousands of citi-
zens. The bell first arrived on Cali
fornia soil yesterday. : It's journey
from Philadelphia was completed
with stops at Marysville and Sacra-
mento, from where it was taken d.
rect to Oakland. A special barge was
provided to carry the bell across the
bay to the Southern Pacific freight
slip. There it was placed aboard q
special freight car for transfer to the
Southern Pacific station and later
transferred to a flag bedecked truck
on which it was hauled to the Expo
sition grounds. ..x
Not since "Wilson Day. was OBJ
served at the exposition have such
patriotic scenes been enacted as those
honoring the Liberty Bell today. Be-
tween lines of waving flags, guarded
by military escort, marching to the
music of massed bands, the bell moved
between lines of cheering men and
women to the reviewing stand from
which speeches were delivered. Later
it was established in the building
where it will be viewed by thousands
of exposition visitors.

DEATH STRUGGLE IN AIR
BETWEEN RIVAL AIRCRAFT

London, June 3O.-(By Mail to
New York. )--The graphic story of a
fight to death three thousand feet in
the air is told by British soldier,
returned from duty in Northern
France. Official dispatches lacon-
ically told of the destruction of a
German taube. The real story arriv-
ed today. g.. ssz ~. III, +
= ''It happened right above our
camp" the soldier said. "Anti-air-
craft guns were barking right and
left. We looked skyward and saw a
tiny speck which later proved to he
German taube. A few moments
later we saw two of our aviators as
cend and make for the marauder who
rushed away, dropping bombs as he
fed.
. "Then came the cry: He's coming
back!' and so he was, pursued by the
British planes who fired and missed.
1t you have ever seen two aeroplanes
lodging one another you will un-
derstand that it is more good luck
than workmanship when one fires all
effective shot.
"The chase continued in full view
of us all. Turning, twisting, eleva-
ting, descending this German

ed. He's up above our men, cried
someone. 1t was a sight would not
have missed. Although terrible it
was magnificent. It was like a dog
fight in the air, thousands of feet
above the ground.
"We rested our eyes for moment
and looked again. They were still
lodging and twisting and coming
nearer. Our men were on top again
and we breathed a little easier. Then
a sudden twist, the German veered
and volplaned down five hundred
feet. Another twist and the taube
fell like a wounded bird.
"There's mass of broken metal and
two graves near our camp that tells
the tale. These air fights are not
uncommon in Northern France. And
the end is nearly always DEATH
