Wartime Demand for Cotton
Is Enormous.

Recent Investigations in the use of
cotton in war show:
A 12-inch gun disposcs of half
bale of cotton with every shot fired; j;
a machine gun in operation will use
up bale in three minutes; in a naval
battle like the one off Jutland over
5000 pounds minute are consumed
by each active warship; more than
10000 bales year are needed to pro-
vide absorbant cotton for the wounds
of the injured; one change of apparel
for all the troops engaged in the war
represents more than a million bales.

TOOur Friends:

The day Of Thangsgiving is again at
hand. And there's much to be thankful
for, regardless Of building operat ions,
which have been below par.
During the past year our country has
attained a position among the nations
which will ultimately be Of direct or in
direct value to every business.
It is only question Of time when
the United States will lead every other
nation in world ommerce, finance and
power.
The war has placed in our hands the
"balance Of power" as guarantor of the
permanent peace Of the world.
In the thousands Of years of world
history the present generation is the
first to see mans mastery Of the heights
Of the air and the depths Of the ocean.
Wireless communi cation has reduced the
cost and increased the opportunities of
world business to a point our forefathers
could only dream Of.
To be living in such country in such
times as these is alone sufficient cause
for the deepest gratitude.
Let us observe Thanksgiving this year
with full hearts and fitting apprecia-
tion Of the wonderful advantages we en-
JOY.
