The Chesterfield Advertiser declares
it is a~nxiously awaiting the time when
it can announce that a state warehouse
has been organized in Chesterfield
county. The Advertiser evidently feels
a wholesome interest in the welfare of
the cotton producers Of it's county,

to get what is coming to them.

The Charlotte Observer suggests
that the south should exact Bremen
quotations for her cotton and the OBJ
server is right. Not only is the OBJ

put into effect if the Washington gov

been looking after grain and pro-

According to our view of it, the
south contributed from $500. 0O0, 900 to
$500, 600, 900 to financing the Allies,
where she need not have contributed

done by the cotton crop what the Brit
ish government is now promising 1t
will do, but which it is not going
to do.

William j. Bryan issued the fol-
lowing statement from Chicago, last
Sunday night: Il have read the edi-
torial opinions concerning the sinking
of the Arabic as those opinions were
reproduced in Sunday morning papers,
but they seem to me to avoid the most
important question. The real question
is not whether American citizens
have, under international law, a right
to travel through the danger zone on
the ships of belligerent nations. That
is admitted. The question just now is
whether an American citizen should
put his convenience or even his rights
above his nations welfare. If Ameri-
can citizens refuse to consider their
own safety or the safety Of the ma
ton, then a second question arises,
namely, whether the government
should permit a few persons to drag
the country into this unparalleled
war. Our government has made it's
protest and there is no doubt that the
question taken is abundantly supported
by precedent, but that D not neceS-
sarily mean that we are going to war.
Diplomacy has not yet concluded its
work, and even if diplomatic efforts
fail, we have u to the treaty
plan which must be resOrted to in case
of disputes with Great Britain, France,
Italy and Russia, and hould be re-
sorted to before going to war with n
other belligerent nation. If the treaty
plan fails, we still have a choice be-
tween entering this war n the post
pOnment of final settlement until peace
is restored. In the meantime it will be
we'll to think of the thousands or pos
sibly the hundreds Of thousands who
would be sacrificed if we enter this
war: these brave men are certainly en-
titled to consideration as well as the
few who by deliberately mourning un-
necessary risks bring harm upon them
selves and danger to their country.
1t is time for ]unneutral portion of the
press of the United States to lay aside
its bias and unite in helping the presi-
dent to keep the country out of war.

TIMELY LIGHT.

A French minister tells of an in
cident during voyage to India !:
Gone dark evening sat in my cabin
feeling thoroughly unwell, as the sea
was rising fast and l was but a poor
sailor. Suddenly the cry of man
overboardp made me spring to my
feet. I heard a trampling overhead,
but resolved not to 60 on deck lest I
should interfere with the crew in
their efforts to save the poor man.
"'What can [ do?' I asked myself,
and, instantly unlocking my lamp,
| held it near the top of my cabin
and close to my BULLS eye window,
that it's light might shine on the
sea, and as near the ship as possible.
In half minutes time | heard the
joyful cry: It's all right; he's SAFE
upon which | put my lamp in its
place. The next day, however, I was
told that my little lamp was the sole
means of saving the mans life. 1t
was only by the timely light which
shone upon him that the knotted
rope could be thrown so as to reach
him. ."-Christian Herald.

Quarantine Against Cat
tie Is Now in Effect

Arizona's quarantine against
cattle of all other states a n d
Mexico is now in effect and from
this time on until the quarantine
is raised no cattle can be shipped
or driven into this state. This
drastic measure was adopted on
recommendation of the Livestock
Sanitary board to prevent the
dreaded hoof and mouth disease
from getting into the herds on
the Arizona ranges.
1t is particularly aimed at
Mexican cattle, large numbers
of which were to be imported
into Arizona within a short time.
It is understood that there were
10. 900 head of Sonora cattle to
be brought into or through this
state very soon. The quaran-
tine will shut them out and will
also shut out t h e American
strays that have wandered into
Mexico.

COLD AN ENEMY TO LIFE
Zine, Bracing Weather" Is All Right
if One Has Warm Place to
Escape To.

"Cold is, and always has been,
the greatest enemy to life" So we
are told by medical writer in the
Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette. The
Dietetic writer runs against the
common impression, but isn't he
about right? We talk of "bracing
cold," but that is because we have to
brace ourselves against it in order
to resist and overcome it, just as we
have to brace ourselves against a
thief or a ruffian who assaults us.
Because the resistance to the ruffian
makes the heart beat faster and calls
out all the force in us, that is no
proof that the rufian is boon.
AS a matter of fact, the nearer
one approaches the poles, which are
the home of cold, the less life we
find; and the further we advance
into the tropics, where genial
warmth is queen, the more abun-
dainty life swarms. 1t is warmth
that makes life and cold that kills it.
So we may congratulate the
reader on the "fine bracing weather"
he has a nice warm place
where he can go and get away
from it.

was at first suggested that own

a five cent fare it was thought
to be impossible. A few, wiser

Some of the most important

Two great discoveries of chemi-

nave been announced by Secre-
tary of the Interior Lane. One
OF the processes is expected to
enable oil refners to increase
their outfit of gasoline by 200
per cent, the other makes posi-
BILE the production from crude
petroleum of toluol- and benzol
from crude petroleum instead
OF from coal tar.
DR.. Rittman developed til e
processes after long research at
Columbia University. The i'm
portance of the great increase
in gasoline production is readily
evident, when the many uses to
which gasoline is now put are
considered. Toluol and benzol
are bases for dyes and high ex-
plosives, especially smokeless
powder, for which in the past
the world has depended almost
exclusively on Germany.
Among necessary ingredients
of high explosives used in mod
ern warfare toluol and benzol
are in the first rank" says Sec
retary Lane. I'm time of great
national stress, if the nation is
ever called upon to defend itself
we will be able to manufacture
the most efficient and most pow
erful explosives known in war
fare.
These processes are fraught
with the utmost Importance to
the people of this country. For
some time the Standard Oil COM
pany, through the great amount
of money at it's command, thru
it's employment of expert chem
lists and through it's extensive
organization, has had a big ad-
vantage over the Independents
in the production of gasoline,
this company having a patented
process that obtains for it as
much as three times the amount
of gasoline from a given quan-
tity of petroleum as the indie
pendents now obtain.
Eventually, the United States
will gain the supremacy in the
dyestuffs industry that has for
some time belonged to Germany,
since toluol and benzol are the
source of many of those i'm
portant dyestuffs that are used
in the silk; cotton and woolen
industries.

A soft answer turneth away
wrath.
President Suzzallo of the uni
versity has just demonstrated the
fact that he is a second Wilson.
He has subdued threatened uni
versity outbreak by an appeal to
reason.
Recently a number OF students
revolted against compulsory mill
tary drill. Representative Jimmy
Davis stated that If the presuming
youngsters didn't like the way the
university is run, they should get
out. He talked Overwhelmingly OF
cutting the U. of w. clear off his
that is, the states payroll.
Wherefore DR.. Suzzallo was be-
tween two fires - Jimmy Davis
and the anti-drill students.
But he appealed to the fairness
of the students and wrote nice,
gentlemanly letter to Jimmy,
which must have made the latter
blush. It's a kind OF a slap on
the wrist for Davis.

ance with the university are most
