On its front page this week The
Progressive Farmer gives four rea-
Sons why cotton must bring 25 cents,
amplifying the reasons, which brief
ly stated are: Il, The crop is 2,OO0,-
900 bales short of what the world
needs; 2, Cotton at 25 cents will
then have advanced only in proper
ton to other products; 3, Cotton
mills could pay 80 cents and still
make big profits; A, While all these

The,Iweeklv market circular issued
by the Agricultural Extension
Service of the State Department of
Agriculture, in its report for the
Week ending September "a, shows
that on Thursday of last week, the
only, day covered by the report,
Lumberton paid as high for cotton
as any other market. Middling cot
ton on that day was reported as fol-
lows from various markets: Char
10 1otte p, Durham 20, Fayetteville
2l.75, Hamlet 20, Lumberton 22.
Maxton 22, Salisbury %, Scotland
Neck p, Wilmington 2O.5O, Norfolk,
Va, 21.50. Every fall one hears the
complaint that the Lumberton mar
ket falls below other markets in tho
county: but this report does not sup
port that complaint. Last fall for
several weeks The Robesonian got
reports from the various markets in
the county ard prices on the Lum-
berton market ranged as high as
any.

Urug guayan Congress Will Votee or
Break With Germany
Washington Believes Break Would bt
Followed bY War

washington D1SpdtcIi, oept. Io' ,
Besides further consolidating the
Americas in the war for democra-
cy the addition of Argentina to Ger
many's list of enemies would mean
the partial relieving of the United
States and Brazilian fleets in the
patrol of the South Atlantic and ev-
en- if there should not be more spec
tacular cooperation by sending an
army to France.
Advised as they have been of the
sentiment in Argentina, the. Senate
ard Chamber Of Deputies in voting
for rupture in relations with
Germany created little surprise
=, among officials of the State Depart
ment and it is believed here that the
break will be followed by war.
President Irigoyen has been con-
sistent in his determination not tc
permit his country to take any Other
, than a neutral position, but it is con,
, sidered improbable he will veto the
action of the legislative branch Of
his government. A political danger
would face his administration II
such a course, since a majority of the
people appear to feel keenly the ri
diculous position their country ha:
been placed in by the duplicity of tht
German minister. The discovery to
! day that the strikes and riots il
Buenos Aires were instigated an(
supported by German agents onl!
makes the situation worse.
Entry into the war will enable Ar
gentina to regain her prestige il
South American affairs, damaged
when Brazil formally broke relations
j.! with Germany and then sent her flee
to set to cooperate with that of tn
United States. Brazil did not form
allydeclare that a state Of war ex
listed and it is believed that if fore
ed to break relations, President Iri
j. goyen will seize the opportunity t.
step ahead of Brazil in declarin!
war.
Although great military supper
:. might not be given the Allies by Al
gentina, her economic aid would b
important. Perhaps the largest pre-
ducing country in South America
she could contribute plentifully to tn
food supplies of the fighting nations
