War, or no war cotton, as cotton, is worth much more than the currently quoted values; war or no war, cotton, as the shuttlecock of international poll itics and trade hysteria, is worth only what the fears of men make it worth. The recent radical shrinkage in values is due, not to state of facts, but to a condition of mind. Cotton has slumped $25 per bale within two days, not because the supply is any greater or consumption requirements any less than before, but because an unreason- ing fear has invaded the market places The frenzied offers to sell lower and lower and still lower are but the hys- terical cries of nerve-racked man in the dark. The time has arrived when men must strike a light and take firm grip on themselves. If this stam- pede is not arrested, 1t may dislodge the spot holder from his hitherto inn pregnable position. This must be pre- vented at all costs, because any weak ening in this regard would mean dis aster to the cotton industry, and would deal a blow at the prosperity of the south.
 This is not a statistical argument to prove the strength of cotton on it's own merits 1t is an appeal to the reason and the manhood of the cotton people The purpose of this statement is not to show why the price of cotton should advance, but how the price may be made to advance. These are the facts that should be impressed upon all con- cerned: Whether we have war or not, there is hardly enough cotton in exist ence to supply the demands of the cur rent trade year. There is, therfore, no reason why the remnant of last years crop, considered by itself, should be depreciated. On the contrary there IS every reason why a crop which car ries no surplus should command high prices The significance of this fact has been obscured by the universal as- sumption that the acreage to be plant ed in cotton for the coming year will be abnormally increased and that, in consequence, materially larger crop than the last is probable. The vision of bumper crop coming in a precarious future casts the shadow of fear upon the distracted present. But suppose this status should be reversed? Sup

William A. Reid, in World Outlook. The monday sun beat down pitt iessly on little Igorot village nes- ting against the mountain slope. The head-men of the village lay around
 thc rough stone tribunal under huge .uahso tree. The old lacays dozed cn

 Suddenly long line of people came winding over the brow of a nearby hill led by man carrying a yellow flag on a pole.
 The whole excited population was

 The visitors explained that they had received the sLirt from the people of
 Ambok, who got 1t from Sacalan. who m turn had received it from Bateng, The spirit had been travelling from town to town for a long time, and
 must go to every town. Incidentally each town must give the people who took the spirit to them pig for their trouble.
 The men of Tanug decided to take the flag anywhere except to the vil- lage of Gambang. They are our en- emies," they said, land some evil will befa1l them If they are not allowed Ito give presents to the spirit" But some one warned the people of Gambang of their danger. They were distressed and decided to consult the American governor. motley crew Tiled into the governors office, most of them in heavy blue coats with brass buttons. Only the leader wore trousers, but all of them had bright led breech cloths and red headbands. By much questioning the governor finally understood the trouble and he did not laugh.

 This would be good place to stop,
 but the rest must be told
 A month later smallpox broke out in

 by workers from the Benguet road
