Careless Handling of Cotton.

Greater care in handling cotton would add mil
lions of dollars to it's value both by eliminating
wastes and by bringing more of the crop up to the
better grades The question of grades is particular
ly important this season when the output is short,
the mill supplies limited and prices accordingly
high. Cotton which is exposed to the weather or
otherwise negligently stored becomes stained and
trashy so that even though the fiber is good it suf-
fers In commercial value, and oftentmes the fiber
itself is damaged The consequent loss is always
considerable; this year it may amount in some in
stances to twenty-five thirty dollars bale.
Careless handling of cotton entails other seri-
losses notably those from fire. During the
first eight months of 1916 there were ffty-seven
cotton fires in the South, involving an aggregate
loss of more than nine million dollars. While this
figure includes, besides the cotton itself, a good
deal of appurtenant property such as Sheds sma-
chinery and vehicles, it is evident that distressing
amount of the staple was destroyed fairly &C
curate record of fourteen shows that upwards
of thirty thousand bales burnt up at terminals
in warehouses and gins.
The obvious remedy is better storage facilities,
and it is heartening to note that in the last few
years there have been marked improvements in this
respect. Substantially built and we'll equipped
warehouses reduce fire, risks and insurance costs
and also increase the value of warehouse receipts
as collateral Where such warehouses are not
available, adequate space removed as far posi-
BILE from fire hazards should be set aside and sheds
with roofs of re-resistive material should be con-
structed. The practice of dumping cotton heller
SHELTER along streets stations and leaving
it exposed should BE discontinued.

Willing to Fight for Hum anity.

In his address at Omaha. Nebraska. President
wilson summed up in single sentence principle to
which every righteous nation must subscribe in
conscience il not always in deed and to which the
United States under his administration, has stead
tasty adhered though beset with the problems and
'perils of a world war.
There is as much fight in America said
the President. "as in any nation in the world.
But we want always to hold the force of Amer
lea to fight for the rights of mankind. not for
the rights of property. When you asked,
aren't you willing to fght?' reply yes. but that

fighting for. You are not looking about
for petty quarrels but for that sort
of quarrel within whose intricacies

IMPOSSIBLE PEOPLE
sY DIR. FRANK CRANE

ne superior souls who overcome their spiritual
aversions or who haven't any, and like everybody,
but am not of the number.
One impossible person is the disloyal one. You
take a man into your circle, you swap yarns with
him. go fishing with him, play cards with him, eat
and drink and laugh with him, and you feel he is
your kind and then one day you discover that he
saws mean and damaging things about you. In
such case 1 don't know what you do, but as for me
out of my life! My days on earth are too few to
bother with snakes.
Another impossible is the loud person He
won't let you finish sentence but breaks in on you
with his blizzard voice He puts words in your
mouth quotes you as saying what you never
dreamed Of and proceeds to answer to his own
glory He is dominant pervasive and jerks shoVes,
and kicks you along with his boisterous converse
ton till you long to brain him. He is especially
impossible If you want to do business with him or
are trying to induce him to do anything
Then there are the slumpers, the people VINO
inst hop helplessly down you, take no thought
of the morrow, and leave it all to you. The more
YOU help Them the more they slump.
ANY plain ordinary human being who minus
his own business, is reasonably thougntrul OF
others and does not everlastingly blow MS own
trumpet can get along with.
But from SNUG people and pr1gg1sn people,
imnosing people and supersensitive people, gross
neople and pernickety people, imperVious' preJu-
diced self-conceited fanatic, vulgar, and nlmlny-
priminy people-good Lord deliver US!

I'm near the end at last.
How few the days since begun,
How swiftly time has past.

And warning were all but dumb.

And thought the truth joke.

without the Christian yoke.
I thought real life consist of mirth
Such as the world afford.
And all real pleasures Of the earth

I'm feeling now the ill-effect

My couch is made to ease.
Yet, in this hour the best but tends
To mock. provoke and tease.
My soul in anguish seems insist
To gain back what It's lost,
I'm conscious now of all I've missed
To my eternal cost
o, can It be that all my gain
Is hooking me In death!
Can It not relieve my pain
And stay my passing breath
Cannot the giided things I've sought
With undated aim
Change what seems my future lot
And quench the fiery flannel
That burns ev'n now within my breast
In proof of whats to come.
Is there no means of safe redress
From such everlasting doom!

Thy power hath sealed my fate!s
I might have found in God a friend,
But It's too late! too late!
