favor absolute prohibition). }.
Nor are we in favor of repeating
the advertising law, for we have

For Congress
Trade Resumed with Germany

A German supersubmarine has
crossed the ocean from that be-
leagued land and brought safely
to Baltimore a much-needed car
90 Of dyes and chemicals. This
is said to be the first of a fleet
vessels built to trade between
Germany and neutral countries,
especially with tn United
States. The crossing of this
vessel, with it's 1000-ton cargo,
sets up a new milepost on the
highway of commerce and at
tests to the determination of
Germany to overcome whatever
obstacles her enemies may place
in her path.
Aside from the commercial
advantages to accrue from even
a limited trade between this
country and Germany, it will
tend to clarity the political situ-
alton between the two countries.
Germany has all along looked
upon this country as maintain
ing a benevolent neutrality to-
wards her enemies, even some
of our own people have thought
Germany was not given a square
deal. We have all along told
Germany to come, buy and take
away; but she could not. She
has now come and the treatment
she receives at our hands will be
the determining factor, very
largely, of the feelings that will
evist between the two peoples
after the war shall have ended.
This trade should and we belive
will receive the same treatment
accorded that of other nations.

Tanlac Better
Than Springs
Says Steele
Popular Mounted Officer Was So
Weak He Couldn't Walk Over
Half a Block.

There is a man in Memphis
who believes in Tanlac, that
man is Gus Steele, the popular
police officer, who is in charge
of the Barksdale mounted sta
tion. Mr.. Steele has been on
the Memphis police force for the
past twelve years, and is an ac-
comodaating and efficient officer.
In speaking of the remarkable
benefits he had derived from
Tanlac, he said:
Il have had rheumatism for
sixteen years and last winter |
had the grippe and came near
dying with pains in my back and
sides. After getting up from
my bed last January, ! was so
weak and had such awful pains,
| could not walk two blocks
without giving out. | would
have shortness of breath and
sometimes would have to just
gasp for breath. | could not eat
anything hardly, and sometimes
when | would go to the table |
would just have to get up and
leave. The very sight of food
made me sick at the stomach. !
could not eat and was cross and
irritable all the time. | lost
twenty pounds in weight and
was Just completely down and
out.
Il did everything man could
think of trying to get relief. |
even went to Hot Springs, Ar
kansas, and Martinsville, Indi-
ana, but received nightly little
benefit.
That's just the shape | was
in when | began taking Tanlac.
| am on my second bottle now
and can eat anything | want and
plenty of it, and everything
agrees with me. Those awful
pains | had in my back and
sides and chest have about gone
and my rheumatism has improv-
ed wonderfully.
my strength has reformed so
can work anywhere. To tell
you the truth, | feel just like a
new man and am getting to be
like my old self again. All of
my friends can see the big
change in me, and | am telling
everybody about Tanlac. If the
people don't believe what | am
telling, you just tell them to
come to see me and they can see
for themselves"

Improving Our Cotton

staple and careful handling was
responsible for the English
spinners promoting the large
plantation in the Delta of Mis-
sissippi.
Under prevailing conditions it
is more difficult to produce cotton
at a profit than formerly, and
for this reason the farmers of
Mississippi are urged to use
their best effort to grow good
staple and see that the bales are
n OF weather-damaged before
placing on the market.
By all means there should be
standardized warehouses, bon
ded and sensibly managed in
each county where cotton could
be stored at minimum of ex-
pense and given maximum of
protection. The staple should
not be allowed to get wet before
marketing.
Tee State of Mississippi could
well afford to supply these
warehouses for protecting a crop
that brings to the State from
seventy to ninety millions of
dollars annually. And there is
no reason why, with sensible
management by honest men,
that such system of ware
houses should not be self-sus-
tanning
Shortly before the outbreak
of the European war, the writer
had the pleasure of spending
several days with one of the
large manufacturers of England
who was here to make a first
hand study of cotton and the
conditions under which it was
produced.
He repeatedly emphasized the
necessity of a better staple and
the exercising of care to prevent
water damage. Under date of
June goth, a personal letter from
this gentleman contained the
following advice that is worthy
of careful consideration by our
farmers:
Il would like to express my
views to you, and other leaders
of the different states, the con-
clusions that | reached while in
your country. They were, that
the conditions are ideal for cot
ton growing and there is ample
room to encourage the people to
grow a better staple.
Each district could be offered
a substantial prize or bonus for
the most successful improve
nent shown; the same to be |
passed upon and classified by |
Government experts. ns~-
Secondly, t h a t concrete
stores should be erected in every
lotion area where same could be
graded officially and bonded, to
)e released only when prices
we're profitable to the grower.
You know how it is exploited (
before it reaches the consumer
~ people who are of no benefit
to the producer or
consumer, and it would avoid
he market being flooded at
ertain periods of the season.
What is to stop each state
aking this up? They should be
aforementioned, Govern
and a minimum
1terest charge made until
uch time as it is released from
ond. Cotton does not depre-
late with keeping and | am
rmly convinced that the de-
land will grow very largely
fter we have settled the account
18th the mad Huns"
This suggestion from one of
lrge manufacturers is well
'orth the most careful consider
tion by our safest and. best
len. Cotton is our principal
