only seven crews of cotton pickers
in the field. Between Memphis
and New Orleans, d distance Of 400
miles, there was not as much as
five bales Of unpicked cotton In the
fields to be seen from the train.
This means thtt nearly all Of tie

Either this country will win the
war or lose it. II the struggle
should be lost the results which
would follow are almost too terrible
to be contemplated. There can be
no middle ground in this fight. A
man is either for this country or
against it. These are true words
spoken by President Wilson: This
is not a bankers war or a farmers
war or a manufacturers war or a
laborine mans war. 1t is a war
for every straieht-out American,

Civil officers and citizens gener-
