Late start For Cotton.

Every indication points to. back
ward cotton crop this year. Continu-
Gus rains and cold weather have de-
layed preparations for planting, which
ordinarily IL well under way by this
time. The lack of opportunity for
soil preparation probably will have
a tendency to shorten the crop, par
ticularly In view of the reported
scarcity OF labor and live stock in the
belt. The lack Of potash for fertfliz-
ers, too. IL another indication that
the cotton growers may have reason
to remember 1917. like 1916, as a year
OF difficulties.

WILSON GIVES
"SUFF' Opinion
]. A. H. Hopkins Quotes
President on Banner Dis
play at White House.

In an open letter to Chairman Webb,
of the House Judiciary Committee, j.
A. H, Hopkins, national committee
man of the Progressive party of New
Jersey, quotes President Wilson on
the attitude of the militant pickets,
who have been displaying their BAN
ners before the White House.
Hopkins states: 1.-The President stat
ed to me that he had never at any
time objected to the pickets, nor hao
they annoyed him. He accepted my
statement, and took 1t as his own,
that the sixteen pickets had not vio-
lated any law nor any ordinance and
were absolutely guiltless. He criti-
cised the judges introduction of the
Russian banner into the trial as quite
out of place, and volunteered the
statement that he, the President, dio
not consider the banner either trea-
sonable or seditious."
Pardon Suggested.
He finally asked me what ! thought
should be done. and when 1 told him
a pardon had been suggested, he i'm
! mediately called my attention to the
fact that this would only be a tempo
rary measure of relief and did not at
all solve the real problem, which he
/ agreed could only be solved by the
passage of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment. He told me, however,
that he could not add TO the war pro-
| gram unless he considered additional
| measures were necessary as war meas g.
| ures. and that II he did so II would be
forcing legislation, which, however, he
4 was justified in doing II an emergency
existed. Thereupon, l again referred
to the very grave situation which we
were facing and expressed the opinion
that an emergency did exist. l re-
minded him that you had already ad-
Vised me that your committee was
ready to report the amendment when
ever the President said the word, ana
that Senator Jones has made the
same statement in regard to the SEN
ate Suffrage Committee. The Presr
dent then discussed the probability OIL
the measure going through Congress,
and accepted my offer to furnish him
with whatever information 1 had on
this subject. This Information. indi-
eating that IL the bill was made an
administration measure II would easily
pass both houses. was sent to the
President the same evening"
This letter was written after Presi-
dent Wilson had pardoned the first
sixteen women sent to Occoquan,
among whom was Mrs. Hopkins, wife
OF the writer.
The women arrested since that time
were arrested for displaying banners
less offensive in wording than the
Russian banner, although they had
displayed. or attempted to display
KAISER Wilson" banners, which were
destroyed or seized before the latest
arrests were made.
The attitude of the White House on
the piCketing has not been officially
defined, either before or after the ar
rest of the first sixteen women sent
TO the workhouse.

T0pAY's AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspicu-
out thing about US and Is proba bly,
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. II we are very
careful in hair washing. We will have
virtually no hair troubles. An espe-
cially fine shampoo for this weather,
ore that brings out all the natural
beauty Of the hair, that dissolves and
entirely removes all dandrufr, excess
oil and dirt, can easily be used at tri-
fling expense by simply dissolving a
teaspoonfuI Of canthrox (Which you
can. get at any druggist's) in a cup of
hot water. This makes a full cup Of
shampoo liquid, enough so 1t is easy
to apply It to all the hair instead Of
Just the top Of the head. This chem
ically dissolves all impurities and Gre
ates a soothing. cooling lather. Rims
ing leaves the scalp spotlessly clean.

on the glossy richness Of natural col
or, also a huffiness which makes 1t
seem much heavier than It is. After a
canthrox shampoo, arranging the hair
