necessary to back our boys.
One of the events of the past
year that has most impressed me
was the capture of Jerusalem.
1t was captured at noon, De-
cember 18th, by General Allen
by and his brave men. One Of
the striking things about the
capture of Bethlehem was that
not a gun was fired by the Brit
ish but they advanced with fix
ed bayonets and fired no shots
that the birth place of Christ
might be unharmed by bullets. "
Col. J. H. Frier, the beloved
Colonel of the 35th next gave a
very interesting and instruc-
ting address on 'The 35th's
New Year" He said in part,
Il am absolutely satisfied that
whatever it brings, the 35th will
be there. / am satisfied that
we are standing at the entra nee
of the most momentous year
the world has ever known.
Mo re things will happen to the
armies of the United States than
have ever happened in all It's
|Ejstory and you men Of the 33th
Will lave your part to play.
Ours is one of the few regular
army regiments left in the
nited States an1 we are the
sc!lGcl. 1t is up to you to do
what you make of it as you
have a great opportunity to ad'
vance yourselves. There have
been great numbers of men
gone out from the 35th as high
ranking non-commissioned of
ficers or commissioned officers
and who are playing important
parts with our army in France.
The same opportunity is open
to you. This regiment is one
of the very few left in this
country that is more than a
year old. 1t was organized in
1916 from three equal detach-
ments making four regiments
lof equal strength. It was look
ed upon as the baby regiment
but the men and officers had
seen as much border service as
those of the other three. The
regiment came here from Doug
las last March with eight hun
dred men. Since that time over
eleven hundred have been trans
fered from it. Eight hundred
men formerly of the 35th are
now in the trenches. A soldier
with no ambition to advance
himself will not make a good

himself. Here's your chance.

Entertainment at Camp New
Years Night

The entertainment at the Y.
M. c. A., New Years night was
largely attended and appreciat-
ed by all. The program was
well arranged and the Sec
retaries of the "Y" deserve
much credit for so successful
an affair.
The evening was opened by
a song" which was led by the
popular Chaplain.
Miss Vida Rogers then favor
ed the audience with one of her
beautiful solos accompanied by
Coporal La Belle on the piano.
The Rev. Mr.. Stoetzel gave a
very interesting address on "a
Year of Victory, 1917" He
said in part; We have been
brought together with other
countries in a common cause.
We are ready for service and
willing to sacrifice anything.
There has been a great national
awakening. We cannot and
we are not going to sit back and
look upon the suffering of a
wronged people. We have en-
tered this conflict and are en-
deavoring to become efficient.
The government has taken con-
troll of the railroads and will be
able to handle larger traffic
from east to west. Military
training is necessary for all,
not a few. The war may close
in one year and maybe five, but
we must maintain a large stand
ing army for twenty years
The rich and the poor are
uniting in patriotism. The
rich are denying themselves and
are not allowed any more sugar
or other necessities of life than
tse. poor. They are conserving
food, fuel etc.. etc., that our
armies may be kept. Another
great victory is the moral pres
sure that is being brought upon
our armies by the Y. M. C. A
The "Y' is doing all possible to
make life pleasant and safe fol-

The only thing indeed, which he re-

for cotton, is the possibility that the

will hold values down. In the alb

that cotton will, at the end Of the war,

into which it is fashioned s-uE.as
The Rerorter claims, however, that
cotton, even at the higher levels to
which it has risen, does not nearly
approach, relatively speaking, the
prices of cotton f;.brics; OR of OTHER
fibers competing with cotton. The
point is made that after cost Of work
ing cotton into cloth is deducted, plus
a reasonable profit, there is no rea-
son for undue gap between the value
OF raw cotton and the. finished fabric,
relatively.
| Among the influences which the
Reporter writer believes will put cot
ton higher instead of lower, is the
fact that the grower himself is co,4-
| ing to understand better the econonn-
ic value of his cotton and financial
ly, is getting in better shape to con-
tend for cost Of production plus a
profit. The Reporter mentions also
the element of violent fuctuation

rather broadly that there will be- less
Of this in the future; covert threat,
no doubt, against speculative 1nftu-,

tention to the fact that cotton is used.

ther point is made that in estimating
Hcarry-over" cotton, the 1,401, 600
bales of mill stock on hand should not
be considered, as this cotton only rep
resents orders now held by the mills,
which must be filed.
This writer contends that mill
stocks are entirely too low for nor
NAL conditions and would not be toll
Grated minute, except for lack OF
ship space, and the extreme consery-
atis1n noted among manufacturers"
He evidently regards as possible, if
not probable, a cotton goods shortage
which would require 3,50o,0oo bales
in stock by the mills, and adds:1Let
these figures circulate among buyers,
so that they may understand thor
oughly the manufacturing :cond-l
tons"
Referring further to "carry-oyer''
cotton, the extent Of which he ap-
pears to regard as unimportant as
determining factor in estimating
value, he says that lack of ship space
and idle spindles, account largely for
the small surplus, and that hes be-
lieves a good deal of that is not avail !
able; in other words, is not for sale. |
He also emphasizes the fact that, |
after all the talk about increase Of
worlds cotton crop, the trend ap-i
pears to be downward, both as to area
and field, as compared to the. ante
bellum situation in these respects. He |
does not overlook, meantime. the |
futile efforts to increase cotton pro-
duction in Egypt and other countries.
Referring to the cotton supply in
which he maintains is no I
more meager than in other countries,
he says I'VE doubt if, in the whole
OF England, including warehouse and
stocks together, there
is more than a quarter Of the cotton
which many would consider of normal +
necessity. What if the war should teri
