 In this part of the country the crop IS suffering for rain and suffering still more because much of it was raised without commercial fertilizer.
 The Alabama crop will probably be 25 per cent less than that of last year. But no state in the cotton belt will be affected by reason of the de- crease in production so little as Ala bama. The diversification movement has been pushed in this more than in other states and many farmers can afford to hold their cotton indefi- nitely.
 The price may rise to a level of profit, if not within a few weeks, then within few months. But wheth- CT it does or not the Alabama farmer will be better off at the end of 1915 than he has been in recent years.

A Banks Patriotic Examnle

If the National Guard were as strong numerically as it should be and as it would be if young men with military inclination met with proper encouragement, only small increase in the standing army would now be recommended by the war department. As it is, large increase is demanded in order to meet requirements for the national defense.
 President Warren of the Lincoln National bank of New York has set a good patriotic example in notifying those clerks of the institution over which he presides who belong to the National Guard that when they go into camp their pay will continue and that the time spent in military serv- ice will not curtail their regular va cation. 1t is said that other concerns will do as the Lincoln National has done.
 Many corporations and mercantile firms make it a condition of employ ment in their accounting or other cleri- cal departments that those employed shall not belong to the organized mi litia. There are about 8,000,00O cit izens of the United States between the ages of IS and 45-men liable for military duty-and of that vast num- Der only 120,00O are enrolled in the National Guard. There should be not less than 500,000.

AFTERGLOw

From the Stylus. Have you ever heard, in the lonesome
 night
 The call of the wind-swept sea, Mighty and strong the great seasong, Ever pitched in minor key? Have you ever stood on barren plain When the red sun sank below The curve of the world and the night
 was hurled
 Like a pail OCT the afterglow? Have you ever seen single leaf Alone in the wintry blast. Like an old man, gray. outlying his day, With his heart in the wistful past? Then surely you know of the sombrs
 things
 Which God in His wisdom sends To turn mems thoughts into kindlier
 vein,
 When the days mad labor ends

Progressive Party Disintegrnting

Four or five months ago I thought it a sure guess that Colonel Roosevelt would go back to the republican party, but it seems now that he intends to remain a progressive said R. J. Florsheim of Philadelphia.
 I voted the progressive ticket in 1912, put have made up my mind to vote for the regular republican nominees in 1916. And 1t will be that way with most of the prosressives in the east, and 1 believe throughout the country. Mir. Wilson may be re-elected, but if the republicans put up strong ticket they will poll big vote and will get in shape for a sweeping victory in 1920. The progressive party is certainly disintegra ting"

A writer in the Philadelphia Public Led ger says Americans have more inventions to their credit that apply to war than any other peoule. The first submarine was invented by a Yale boy. Pennsylvanian gave his name to the first steamship. while Robert Fulton's work made the sailing ship a back number. The screw propeller for steamboats was invented by John Ericsson before the Mexican war and made radical change in naval war fare. The first modern submarine was built by Holland, who died recently. Rich ard Gatling. a North Carolina school teacher, who had previously perfected ma chinery to SOW cotton seed and rice, in- vented the machine gun-the Gat1ing gun of the civil war.
