FARMERS KEEP COTTON.

FARMERS KEEP COTTON.
1t is more noticeable than ever
before in this county, and espe.
cially near this city, that the
farmers are having their cot.
ton ginned and are holding it for
better prices.
Wagon loads after wagon loads
of this rich product is being
hauled from the gins and placed
aboard cars for commission mer.
chants in distant cities.
This year is one in which the
farmer is reaping his harvest,
and receiving pay for his labors.
For several years his has been
hard road, but 1917 shows to
him there is never a road 80 long
but that it has a turning point.
While the cotton crop in this
county is far below the average
in yield, it is far above the aver.
age in price, and advantage is
being taken by the farsighted.

So long as the military crowd
give expression as they have
more than once of late, that If
Germany does not win now she
will only lay for the time when
the job of conquering the world
can be renewed--there can be no
permanent peace. They want
peace now only for the purpose
of getting their second wind. "
This must not be. Militarism
must be so utterly crushed it
cannot again menace the world.

CamouhaQe.

A remarkable Interpretation of the
British national characteristic reserve,
appears in the Century, entitled
Camouflage. 1t is the story of two
young people on the eve Of the hus-
bands going to battle.
For the benefit Of those who may
not be acquainted with what camou-
flage means, it might be truthfully de-
scribed as q thin veil drawn over great
events.
There are endless varieties of
camouflage and endless uses to which
1t may be put. A great white road is
concealed from the enemy's lines by
hedge of thinly plated twigs-camou-
fiage. An observation point hidden in
the heart of misunderstanding
A mighty gun masked by an awning
of fishcrmen's nets, sprinkled with
dead leaves-camouflage. A corpse
brought in from no-man's land and re-
placed by a live man, who watches

again camouflage. But, perhaps, the
subtlest variety of all is the kind that
men and women devise to screen their
real emotions from one another and the
world"

Eleven million male citizens from
twenty-one to thirty years old. inclu-
sive, will be subject to draft by the
president Of the United States.
But in order that men under twenty
one and over thirty may serve their
country II they so desire, the measure
provides for the acceptance OF volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
forty years.
The gigantic number Of men subject
to draft will not all be called to the
colors by any means. The proposed
law gives authority to the president to
draft rs many men as he deems nee
essary to fiji up the regular army. the
National Guard and the CONSUMPTION
force of 100000 men.
2,001 900 Armed Men.
It is estimated by the war depart
ment that as result Of the authority
conferred and the action to be taken
2,OO1,O 900 officers and men will COM
prise the military establishment Of the
United States.
Under the new bill agreed to author
ity Is given to fill up by draft the reg.
ular army and the National Guard to
war strength. and to raise outside this
100000 men. 100000 to come Us the
first quota.
The war strength Of the regular
army Is about 100000 men. 1t has
now about $4,000 men and Is short
about $4,000. The National Guard
has war strength Of 625,OOO men. 1t
has now about $4,000 and is short
about 100000 men.
Therefore, on the first call there can
be taken for war service about 655. 900
men to fiji up gaps in the regular army
and National Guard and In addition
100000 as the first quota Of the con-
script army of 100000 men.
In the first draft 1t Is possible about
1.l55,O0U men will be taken for active
service, leaving authorization under
the present bill to call out immedi.
ately 100000 more for another con.
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.
Tho action allowing Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for.
eign service has been eliminated.
What the colonel will do now that
his pet project Is incapable Of realiza-
ton Is a question. 1t Is generally un-
derstood that President Wilson is alb.
solutely opposed to the idea Of q vol.
unteer organization under command Of
the colonel.
Pay for enlisted men and non
commissioned officers was agreed upon
as follows:
Men now receiving less than $21
per month are increased to $31 per
month; those who received $24' are
Increased to $50: men who receive $50.
500 or $40 are increased SO each; men
who receive $45 are increased to $50.
Army Officers Pleased.
Army officers received notice Of the
age limit with pleasure. They had
expected higher maximum. though
they would rather have had the orig
inal ages of nineteen to twenty
A new section In the bill authorizes
the president to organize and equip
three machine gun companies for
each infantry and cavalry brigade
and four machinc-gun companies and
an armored motorcar for each In
fantry and cavalry division.
