There is a legend to the effect that there are
several amusing musical datrlbes against the

wouldn't sing at ALL and when it was good they
'felt fine and sang the prettest songs they knew"

can have the same food in the field they In

Almost everyone recalls the slump in cotton
which followed the opening of the and how,
with cotton selling low five and seven cents
a pound, the South arose in organ
lied "Buy-a-bale-of-cotton" campaign which
abed the cotton producers to tide their industry
over the financial doldrums which resulted from
the chaos of war. The manner in which cotton
rebounded from this low mark makes 1t one Of the
huskiest war brides in America, with the possible
exception of the munitions and allied industries.
When cotton had reached IS cents last year
there were certain optmists who predicting
25-cent cotton, and they did have to wait long
for that miracle to come to pass. When King
Cotton passed the 27-cent mark recently it marked
the highest level of prices since the days imme
dately following the close of the Civil war. when
Southern planters were obIe to obtain almost any
price they asked for their cotton.
1t is believed that this prosperity will continue
long after peace is restored. Until the worlds
greatly depleted supply of cotton is replenshed
at least there should be material change In the
situation. The latest available estimates as TO
this years crop show an increase of approximately

In the making of cooking compounds, but expert
m.nts made recently In Oklahoma and in other

materials makes acceptable flour, and can also
