At dinner one evening a discussion
arose about the peculiar customs in
foreign countries. One gentleman told
of the Chinese customs, which are
nearly all the exact reverse OF our own.
"They use white for mourning, black
for rejoicing and mourn at BIRTH
while they rejoice at DEATH" he re-
marked. 1.-THE needle of their com.
pass points TO the south, and they
draw the saw toward them to cut.
These customs may easily be account.

their soup at the end Of the meal in

GOOD COTTON CROP EXPECTED
Decrease in Acreage Win Not Average Ten Per Cent-Pianters Did Not
 Use Much Fertilizer.

Tt looks like good-sized crop of cotton this year." remarked H. ]. Cas- tleman of Atlanta to a Washington Post representative the other day "Of course, no one can tell what is going to happen to the crop until later in the season, but the prospects now are that the crop will be large. not so big as last years. but better than the average
 There has been some decrease of acreage in all the cotton-growing states. but not what was expected. I; will certainly not average ten per cent The decrease in fertilizer will be the most important factor in re ducing the crop to whatever extent 1t may be reduced.
 Figures show that the planters did not use nearly so much fertilizer as last year. principally because they couldn't get it. The war cut off i'm portations of certain components oi fertilizers. and in some sections it was almost impossible to supply the demand This was not general how ever. and while, as l have said, the crop will not be as large as last year. 1t will certainly be larger than generally expected. always providing of course. that weather conditions dc not interfere"

COTTON NOW PLACED SECOND
Statistics Showing Activities of Own CTS of Farm Land South of
 Mason and Dixon Line.

Hereafter the South will figure largely as producer of the food sup plies of tho country. The report on the crops just issued shows that the grain crop of 1915 exceeds in value by several hundred million dollars the most valuable cotton crop" ever mar keted. says Providence Journal. The estimate of wheat, corn and oats is 1,540 100000 bushels-a gain of 2s6.- GOO 000 bushels over last years yield and in addition there is a rice crop of 90000 GOO bushels. The statement that of the gain of the entire coun- try nearly 60 per cent is in the South. gives an idea of the activities of the owners of agricultural lands below the Mason and Dixon line.
 Cotton of course is the great staple of the South. and it is not likely to be neglected But the cotton states are learning the value of diversity in products and their prosperity is bound to be increased by the departure from the accepted notion that the South is necessarily dependent upon a single crop. The entire country also is bene- tited by the breaking away of the southern people from the old tradi- tion that for them cotton is king" The question of food supply now is not secondary to that of textile prod uctS.

Clever Borrowinq.

The college stadium is but another instance of the modern adaptation of ancient devices to twentieth century needs. In many things the so-called civilized nations of our day have ex- celled the ancients of Greece and Rome, and in many other things they have not improved much on what had been accomplished some two thousand years ago. In science. discovery and invention, especially in regard to things material and utilitarian, we have undoubtedly outstripped them; but in poetry. philosophy. painting. sculpture, architecture-in short. in the realm of the arts-we have made but little progress, and that not on particularly original lines. Their works are still serving as our models. although occasionally we do succeed in expanding their ideas to fit our own larger needs. and the modern stadium is a case directly in point. In this instance we have borrowed both the idea and the name.

FROM SEVEN TO THIRTEEN
Said to Be Age When Spirit Of Beck. lessness Especially Dominates
 the Child.

The motor development of the child from the age of seven to thirteen, says Philip Davis in his book Street Land" is far greater than it's mental development
 The thirst for adventure. for dis covery. for taking chances is the strongest characteristic of this age.
 The greatest risk, the more 1t sat isfies certain ehildrens unconscious calls for acts and daring and cour- age.
 In illustration, MT. Davis tells of discovering two boys swinging from telephone wires on which they had climbed.
 You may be eleetrocuted." he warned them.
 That's what we want" one of them answered grandly.
 Cooperation on the part of teachers. parents. police and public service com panies. the author says, will to some extent solve the social problem pre- sented by this spirit of recklessness among young children.

The Mirror and the World.

The glass -etiects the features of him who looks therein. Smile is re- turned for smile or tears for tears. With the world, as with the glass, one finds what he brings to it. Is a man suspicious and looking for evil :? He will meet it on every hand. Does he seek goodness? He will find it all about him, lurking in unexpected places. The traveller intent on watch, ing for obstacles or enemies misses the wayside over, the song of the bird, the music of the brook, the smile of child. If he is on the lookout for evil it seems to meet him and the good is unseen. Are you pos sessed of fear? You see danger in every shadow; you hear threats in the wind. Smile on the glass. Smile on the world Hope and fear not. Believe in good and expect good in others and you will find it. Look for sunshine. look for joy. look for love and kindness. Do not miss the good while repining over wrongs, real or fancied. Be yourself what you would see in the mirror. Be yourself what you would find in the world.-Milwau- kee Journal
