This Is No Time For Hesitation.

Waterloo Democrat: The country has settled
down to the conviction that the war must be
fought through to finish. War was avoided as
long as it was humanity possible to avoid it and
preserve the honor of our country. 1t was with
sense of relief that millions of our citizens
learned that the war was declared for to have
waited longer in the face of Germany's threats
would have been national dishonor. We Nv
have the war with US day and night, and there
is no end in sight. The best informed military
men Of the country believe that before the war
is over American soldiers will have 'done their
bit" on the battle fields of Europe. This is no
time for hesitation. There is no middle ground
between patriotism and treason. AS large as
the United States is it is not large enough to
hold any man who is not now ready to do his
part in supporting the war. The time for dis
cussion is past.

The War is No Joke.

Darlington Democrat: The man who says he
is not interested in the war now "a days is the
same fellow who reads the comic supplement
first when he receives his paper at the news
office. 1t is true that the only results Of war 80
far we can see here in Wisconsin is a decided
increase in the cost of foodstuffs. All activities
on the part of the United States are as near as
we can learn in the nature of preparedness.
But the war is no joke. For the past twenty
five years Germany has shown dislike for the
United States, and the interests Of the two
countries have frequently conflicted, not be-
cause the German people and the American

Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like well-built houses, must have tradition behind them, writes Henry Seidel Canby, in the Yale Review. The Homets and Shake ,speares- and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like native trees thut grow so well no where else. The little writers--hacks, who sentimentalize to the latest order, and display their plot novelties like bargains on an advertising page-are just as traditional. The only differ ence is that their tradition goes back to books instead of life. Middle-sized authors---the very good and the prob ably enduring-are successful largely because they have gripped tradition and followed it through to contem- porary life. That is what Thackeray did in "vanity Fair" Howells in "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar- ton in "The House of Mirth." But back.t0-uature books-both sound ones and those shameless exposures of the private emotions of ground-hogs and turtles that call themselves nature books-are the most traditional of all. For they plunge directly into what might be called the adventures of the American SubcOnsciOusnesS.

PLEDGE CARD CAMPAIGN.
Food Administrator Announces Cards Received From Every County
 Except St. Francis.

The pledge card campaign heinz conducted by Federal Food Adminis- trator Hamp Williams is making most gratifying progress. Signed cards have been received from every coun- ty except St. Francis, and from some counties orders are still being re- celved for more cards.

 The federal food administrator said: y
 "Let us assume our responsibility, not in part, but in full. Let us see to it that every family in our coun- ty or city enrolls. No matter what our engagements, no matter what the weather may be, no matter how much money we might earn during the time that we will have to give up to this work, let everyone be true patriot and join tn ranks of those who pledged themselves to stick; to see it through; to fight it out and not quit"

Yesterday being All Saints day the New Orleans cotton market was clos ed.
New York Cotton.

| New York, Nov. 1.-The cotton mar ket showed renewed nervousness and ire esularity during today's early trad ing. The opening was steady at an advance of } points on December but generally 9.to 21 Deints lower and
 the active positions sold about 10 to 21 points, under last nights closing during|"tlle first few minutes. This : was due to a rcaewa. of yesterdays selling movement and carried Janu- ary contracts off to 26.4Sc The was buying at this decline by brokers with Liverpool and trade connections however, and nrice soon steadied working about , to z points above yesterdays closing before the end of the first hour. A local authority esti mates the condition of the crop at 5S.6 against GAS last month and 57,3 last year and the amount gathered at
 73 per cent against S4 last year and 72 two years ago. The outlook was for continued fair, but cold weather in the South. t sl < f3t
 Offerings increased on the early { lulge, sentiment evidently being un- settled by weakness in the stock market, and the uncertainty of tho Italian situation. Wall street and local houses were active sellers and
 while there was also Southern selling on the break which extended to PHO for December and 26..1c for January or about 15 to 2S points net lower. Offerings then tapered off with the market comparatively quiet arpund midday when prices showed rallies of 10 to 12 points from the lowest. After rally from 2705c to 27.22c for December and 26.39c to 26.60c for January on covering, hullish spot ad- vices and large exports, the market sagged off again under renewed real izing during the middle of the after noon.

MEN WAIVED

~ result of the war there is ar enormous demand in all lines of busi ness. both public and private, fo, trained men and women. Leading men of the nation are unanimous in the opinion that it is patriotic duty for men who are not eligible for army service to pursue buf1ness or techni. cal training and it themselves for ser vice elsewhere.
 Young men who are not in the se. lective draft, ane wanted in business positions provided they have the right training. Little Rock and Arkansas business men are begging now for trained help: they need men-great numbers of them-and must have them. It Is splendid opportunity for those who will train themselves fin bookkeeping. shorthand. and ether branches of clerical work.
 MT. George A. Mclean, President of Draughon's Business College of Little Rock, Ark, advises that tho demand for office help has trebled In volume during the last three or four months. and that in August alone, nearly 200 positions were offered the students of his school. "A very large majority could not be filled as there was not sufficient number of trained students available. MT. Mclean strong ly urges business training and says that wonderful opportunities are now open to the young men and women of Arkansas.
 Those who are looking, for san op- portunity and, believe in the DO i, now" spirit. should. by all. means. communicate with Mir. Mclean and learn his plan for assisting young peo- yle c prepare for business life.
