Inherent Love for Cotton "
{ Home and Farm.)


1t is wonderful what interest the
people away from the farm take in
the farmer and his family; how earn
est they are in convincing the farmc"
alone, and that he ought to do every
thing he can to stay on the farm and
keep his family there. Here, for in
stance, is an extract from a Wall
Street journal closing an eXordium to
the farmer to diversity crops and let
cotton alone:
THE Southerner has an inherent
love for cotton. But if he gives his
whole attention to it in the race for
prosperity, he is like the runner in
the story OF mythology who did not
see the goal because Of a beautiful
apple in the way. lie must farm to
win. One-crop farming means soil
depletion and ultimate poverty. Di-
versified farming means livestock, in
creased fertility, bigger crops ami
better credit. What better mission
airy work can Southern bankers do
than to teach these facts to their peo-
pie >"
1t is not that the farmer has an in
hcrcnt love Of cotton that induces
him. TO raise large crops; it is that
the outside world has an imperative
necessity to secure cotton, and that
it is willing to pay to the Southern
farmer Il profit for raising cotton that
it will not pay him for raising amy
thing else.
The cotton crop OF l9l3 brought
more in the markets Of the world per
pound than any cotton in any year Of
the present generation. The average
was over l3 cents a pound, and that
was mandate from the world to the
Southern planter TO do it again
The Southern planter md it. He
did not give his whole attention to
cotton, because he raised one-third Of
the corn crop Of America. He raised
more wheat than he has ever done
lie is giving more attention to cattle
and to those crops that sustain cattle.
lie produced more fruits, more nuts,
more vegetables, than he ever did
lie diversified his productions as he
had never done before. He did
farm to win,' and he won. This
talk about One-crOp farming in the
South is pure cant or pure ignorance.
The failure of the cotton crop OF
1914 in the markets is not the fault
OF the Southern planter; the crop
did not fail in the fields. The mar
kct failure was due to the war, and
no man in America acted upon the
assumption that there was going to
be war.
With the markets Of the world
largely closed 10 cotton, the farmer
will not raise cotton. except for the
American market. He must, there
fore, in addition to cotton, raise Othc:
things; but to raise livestock he
needs money that the banker will not
let him have. To raise more wheat
more forage crops, more fruit crops.
he needs money. His property is
good for it, but he does not get the
money.
The fault in the South is not with
the farmer; it is with the bankc"
largely; it is with the merchants OF
the cities who bite off more than they
are entitled to; it is with the rail
road agent who does not know what
it means to develop traffic.

the extent that those who direct its

One of the things the newspaper men
will undertake to get from the Iowa
Legislature this winter is a better libel
law. There does not now seem to be
any reason to doubt it will be done.
The law in Iowa leaves every publisher
at the mercy OF an aggrieved person
and he has no safeguard beyond the
good sense of courts and juries which
can not always be relied On. The need
of change in the law as to libel has
long been known: now the newspaper
men are going after it hard.

sixty cases he had taken to the court
of appeals in so many years. The
heading indicated he vas former
slave. born in Tennessee and reared at
Oskaloosa, and it was stated he Is rich
and has been perhaps as successful as
any negro lawyer in America. The
story was good, save that the man was
not born in slavery, and II was other
wise incomplete. AS matter of fact
the negro lawyer spent his last year

up the Walsh Colby hearing, involving
notes and mortgages to the amount OF
nearly one-half million dollars Two

other matters, an adjournment OF TWO

Des Moines, Feb. 15.-When the Wis
ting Iowa newspaper men were gain
cred at the festal board the other night,
and there was opportunity for just
few remarks, Harvey Ingham called
first on Senator Caswell, who told how
at least one newspaper man broke into
the state senate, and then he called on
w. G. Ray as one who had been IN
the legislature and later on ID. Z. Mott,
of the parole board, another who had
been thru the legislature mill. A rev
words from J. w. Doxsee, Of the Mon
ticello Express, and A. F. Allen, of the
Sioux City Journal, was all that there
was time for then. 1t was appropriate
that Frank Allen should be called on,
iu such company, for he told feelingly
of the way that his great cher. who
had been both editor and legislator,
had organized an office so that the
traditions he had established continued
without interruption. And Ito man was
ever more loyal to thase traditions
than Allen. But there was almost an
|intimation in the toastmasters re-
marks that when Caswell and one or
two others broke into the legislature 1t
was a new thing. AS matter of fact
there are others in the legislature who
have had newspaper experience.
Brick" Stone, of Hawarden. has been
in the harness good many years. so
has Charley Miller, Of Waverly. and
Senator Taylor, of Van Buren,, Is real
newspaper man. Then there Is Justin
Barry, Of the Walker News, who mar
rowly escaped being pocketed In the
speakers chair, where his salary would
have been doubled and his opportuni-
ties Iessened. But is not Cady Chase
an editor, q real editor of a real paper
at Webster City? Practicing law Is q
side line. And by the way, Senator
Eversmyer Of Muscatine, is practical
printer and was long in the service.
But in listing the accomplishments or
present day legislators it should not be
overlooked that the presiding officers,
both Of them, have dabbled in Journal
ism, not newspapering. President Har-
ding used to edit the college paper at
Morningside and then he picked up
many needed dimes by sending in the
suburban and college news to Sioux
City newspapers. In fact he took reg
ular assignments as reporter at one
time and gained some valuable expert
ence. And Speaker Atkinson when he
was GAINESVILLE correspondent OF q
county seat paper helped organize the
first union In. the county--the> Butler
county association of correspondents.
So the present legislature Is not with

COCOANUT OIL MAKES
A SPLENDID SHAMPOO

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, the less soap you
use the better.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil (which
is pure and entirely greaseless), is
much better than soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub 1t in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance OF rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out easily.
and removes every particle Of dust,
dirt. dandruff and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly.
and IL leaves 1t fine and silky, bright
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. It Is
very cheap, and few ounces is
enough to last everyone IN the fam
lily for months.
