Rich Fortune. From prIva...rIna.

Rich Fortunes From Privatssrlns.
A century ago such . situation a.

from the crown authorizing private
ship to wage war against and to SAP

those days Of wooden walls we'll
armed clipper or East Indiaman was
almost q match for frigate. but the
aim Of the privateer was to ravage
the enemy's commerce. A lucrative
pursuit 1t was. too. In one year Capt.
Fortunatus Wright captured ls ships
worth 100000 pounds. while from one
cruise In the Spanish main the priva-
deer Prince Frederick returned T.

pounds in bar silver alone ana other

Nv Peter Radford

Lecturer National Farmers Union.
King Cotton has suffered more from
the European war than any other ag-
ricultural product on tha American
continent. The shells of the belliger-
ents have bursted over his throne,
frightening his subjects and shatter-
ing his markets. and, panic-stricken,
the nation cries out God save the
king!"
People from every walk of life have
contributed their mite toward rescue
work. Society has danced before the
king; milady has decreed that the
family wardrobe shall contain only
cotton goods; the press has plead
with the public to buy bale;
bankers have been formulating hold
Ing plans; congress and legislative
bodies have deliberated over relief
measures; statesmen and writer's
have grown eloquent expounding the
inalienable rights of His Majesty"
ap> presenting schemes for preserv-
ing the financial integrity of the
stricken staple. but the sword Of Eu-
rope has proved mightier than the pen
of America in fixing value upon this
product Of the sunny south. Prices
have been bayoneted, values riddled
and markets decimated by the battling
hosts Of the eastern hemisphere until
the American farmer has suffered a
war loss Of $400.000,000, and bale
Of cotton brave enough to enter a
European port must pay ransom of

the American farmer and from the
viewpoint Of the producer, would seem
to justify extraordinary relief meas

constitution and straining business
rules in order to lift portion Of the
burden of the backs of the farmer,
for unless something is done to check
the invasion of the war forces upon
the cotton fields, the pathway of the

will be strewn with mortgaged homes
