 They want to buy cotton, but they expect to get it much cheaper. The farmer has to be master of the situ- 'atlon. If he demands 20 cents he will get it. l told them that with the biz corn crop and foodstuffs raised this year, the Southern farmer will be able to keep his cotton until he gets the right price.
 eff the farmer shoves his cotton on the market, he will not be able to get the right price, because when ii is pushed out, it is all put together, but when he keeps it from the market, it is scattered"
 MT. Alexander advised against going too extensively into cotton planting, saying that the world will need food stuffs.
 ''We must feed Europe the next two years. Now is the time when the farmer is on top. The world must have somthing to eat, and the farm CT is the man to raise the stuff. Agri- culture will be the greatest thing for the next ten years, and every acre of arable land must be cultivated to produce food for the people of Amer ica and Europe.'
 Mr. Alexander is :! very close ob- server of things, and remarked that the people of the East are taking the war more seriously than are the peo- pie of the West and South. He would like for the people of every section to appreciate the war situation to the fullest extent, and exert, every effort to conserve every, force that plays a part in the war game.
 "The people of the East do not think the,.war- will end in a short, Atime,," he said. '1hey think 1t will last two or three years. Business, however, is booming everywhere. Ey- cry industry is doing well. The peo- pie are making money and in the West the people are spending it in every direction. There is considerable tray el across the continent, end it has been noticed that the women are the greatest travellers, the proportion be- ing three women to one man."

ANOTHER CROWD
 AT TABERNACLE
 REVIVAL SERVICE
Evangelist Stephens Deliv- CTS Strong Appeal, On
 Subject "Who Cares?"

It was estimated that there were 2000 persons in attendance at the Stephens revival last night The song service was one of the special fea- lures of the night Mr. Storr led the choir and congregation in half-hour song service. One of the features was the singing of the "Glory" song by the negroes in the negro section.
 MT. Roper played as special selec- tion, medley, of hymns. Mrs. Powell sang Do Something for Jesus To- day" during the first part of the ser vice and at the close she sang "A Dream"
 Dr. A. Homer Jordan, pastor of the First Christian church, delivered the invocation.
 MT. Stephens subject for the night was, Personal Responsibility" or 'Who !Cares?" As Daniel Webster said" '"The greatest thing in the world is personal responsibility.
 MT. Stephens said "a" Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ Jesus ex- poets every follower to win others for Him. He said, 'Ye are My friends, if ye do what I have conn- manded you
 "A Christian knows when he is say cd by the burden on his heart for others. Many people in Pine Bluff are carrying burdens big enough to sink battleship, and they think mo- body cares.
 We give. men up so quickly, be- cause we think there is no use, But sometimes. the man who seems away is easiest to win. Christ cares for mems souls and He expects His followers to do the same You may, by your life, be able to touch another and make that life worth while.
 Many Christians take the cup of salvation and drink it to the dregs, but care nothing about sharing it with others Some one may be lost in your home, because Of your care lessness."
 The whole sermon was a, strong appeal to church people and all oth- srs to be careful of their influence and to reach out and help others about them.
 Tonight at o'clock. Mr. James will meet all personal workers from all ne churches, at the First Methodist church.
 Instead of the usual morning cot age prayer meetings, tomorrow, there Will be a union prayer meeting at ':30 o'clock. at the tabernacle.
