The cost of growing cotton is at
tracing much attention. The discus
sion is assumin ga wide range and
promises in the end to be wholly con-
structive. tt has already been far
advanced among the cotton growers,
hence an extension of the discussion
will likely be from now on more bene-
ficial to the spinner than to the plant
er. Especially does an extension of
the cotton growers point of view in
the East promise to be of definite
value to the spinners of New England.
The increased wealth of recent
years has greatly stimulated the in
dustrial life of the South. 1t has
brought many new manufacturing
plants. Most of these will become
permanent. 1t means that the indus
trial competition which is taking the
labor from the cotton fields will be-
come permanent also, and will likely
continue to increase in acuteness. In
other words, it is plain that the cot
ton industry, manufacturing and pro-
ducing alike, must face in the future
in the item of labor an expense of
$75 to $100 per month, or such a
price as industrial plants may be pay
ing.
Estimating the cost of labor on this
basis has been sharply criticised. This
was to have been expected Most of
these criticisms come from the East.
This was to have been expected also.
The reasoning of these critics is based
upon the assumption that the cotton
growers would return again to a con-
dltlon of economic slavery, or assumes
that they were not entitled to eco
nomic freedom. Some in conversation
with the writer went so far as to
say that mans family could do part
of the work and, beyond their keep.
this work would not be an expense.
Altogether in the final analysis, these
things reflect the dominant point of
view that has been current in New
York and in the New England states.
A condition of economic servitude.
1t is perfectly safe to say, has forever
passed in the South. This is a matter

ing men, The whole trend of life in

ward the consumer of cotton having
to pay for the coming crop, and all
crops in the future, a price that will
bring to the grower, whether he is a
wage Garner or has an interest in
the crop, return for his labor moro
than S75 or 500 per month, or anv
price that industrial plants NAV he
paying. The cotton grower is in no.
sltion to enforce this and he can be
expected to do it. This is essentially
the growers point of view. We have
seen the folly of ignoring his point of
view in the past, and events certainly
emphasize that it will be just as great
an act of folly to ignore it in the fu-
ture.

STUDENT AV'AT0RS
TO HAVE LARGER
PRACTICE FIELDS

Washington, Feb. 28.-Immediatc
steps to reduce the number of col
lisions of student aviators by
spreading out the training areas are
about to be taken by the war de
partment.
1t is planned to lay out flying
fields in various directions from the
training camps, to which the student
aviators would fly each day in a
previously arranged schedule. 1t is
believed this will eliminate the
crowding in the air which has re
suited in many tight places in
which young ayiators have not been
able to maneuyer safely.
All things taken into considera-
ton, however, war department off
cials feel that the number of acci-
dents has not been unduly large.
The number of accidents has
made no difference in the personnel
of the aviation corps. Not only their
morale continues unimpaircd, but
this country officials say, remains
the only country in the world which
has surplus of aviators.

Weak, Thin People
Made Strong and Fat

Weak, thin people-men or wom-
en-are nearly always nervous
wrecks, thus conclusively proving
that thinness, weakness, debility
and neurasthenia are almost invar-
iably due to nerve starvation. Feed
YOUR nerves and all these symp-
toms due to nerve starvation will
disappear. Eminent specialists state
that the best nerve food is an or
ganic phosphate known among
druggists as Bitro-Phosphate, a
five-grain tablet of which should be
taken with each meal. Being a gen
uine nerve builder and not slim
ulant or habit forming drug, Bitro-
Phosphate, a hve-grain tablet OF
which should be taken with each
meal. Being a genuine nerve build
er and not a stimulant or habit form
ing drug, Bitro-Phosphate can be
safely taken by the weakest and
most delicate sufferer, and the re-
suits following its use are often SIM
ply astonishing. Weak, tired peo-
pie regain strength and vigor; thin
ness and angularity give way to
plumpness and curves, sleep returns
to the sleeploss, confidence and
cheerfulness replace debility and
gloom, dull eyes become bright and
pale, sunken cheeks regain the pink
glow fhealth. Bitro-Phosphate,
the use of which is inexpensive, also
wonderfully promotes the assimi-
lation of food, so much so that
many people report marked gains Of
weight in a few weeks.
CAUTION: Although Bitro-
Phosphate is unsurpassed for re-
lieving nervousness, sleeplessness
and general weakness, it should not,
owing to it's remarkable kesh-grow-
ing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.

three and a half years ago, the Brit
ish Army today is marching on to
new victories in Palestine and stands
ready in France and Flanders to de-
liver a mighty blow in attack or to
successfully withstand the shock of
any attempt the Germans may make
to break through.
The British Army has been un-
shaken by every manifestation of
German frightfulness. Major DON
aid Guthrie declares that during an
attack by German flame throwers he
has seen the British Tommies in the
trenches actually warming their
hands as the liquid fire came near.
"When the British Tommies are
holding a TRENCH" continued Major
Guthrie, "the Germans cannot drive
them out. The only way they can
get them out is to blast them out"

OKLAHOMA KEEPS UP
BIG w. S. S. DRIVE

Muskogee, Okla, Feb. 28.-The
intensive drive to enlist war savers
in Oklahoma is to continue until
every person has been approached
personally. That is the message
sent out by state headquarters of the
national war savings committee,
Although Oklohoma has exceeded
its quota of 603000 war savers, the
state director desires the drive to
continue so that the gospel OF thrift
has been heard by every man, wom-
an and child. 1t is estimated at
state headquarters that Oklahoma
will exceed its quota by many thou
sand.
"Oklahoma war savings week
was designated from Feb. Il to "a,
but it has been extended to March
l. County chairmen report that
they can cover the field by that
date.

WOMANS DEVOTION TO

Home duties to many women ap-
pear more important than health.
No matter how i'll they feel they
drag themselves through their
daily tasks, ovcrdo and pay the pen
atty in headaches, backache, drag
ging-down pains and nervousness; :;
they become irritable, and finally
discover that some form of female
complaint has fastened itself upon
them. When a woman gets into
this condition there is one tried and
true remedy made from the roots
and herbs OF the field, Lydia f.
Pinnhams Vegetable Compound,
which for more than forty years has
continued its great work among
women in restoring health after
many other remedies have failed.

German Vice Chancellor
Stirs russian Wrath

Amsterdam, Tuesday, Feb. H.
Friedrich Won Peyer, the German
vice-chancellor, in his address be-
fore the reichstag, urged the people
to stand behind the army, and made
a spirited defense of the Prussian
franchise reform bill.
There is only one standpoint, 80
he said, ''for home politics today,
in the fourth year of the war, name
ly, the concentration of all the
forces of the empire to the unity
of the citizens and labor and readi-
ness for sacrifice to enable the army
to fulfill its heavy tasks To that
end, things which still divide the
various classes of the population
must be removed.
at is quite intelligiblc that the
heavier the sacrifices and war bur
den laid upon us the greater will
the mass of the population be domi-
mated by associations after political
power political freedom and inhu-
ence on the government.
mo power on earth can crush this
idea and these aspirations. From
the start, the allied German gov
ernments have taken this into ac-
count and it is their desire to con-
tinue along this path"
The yice-chancellor then alluded
to opposition to the Prussian fran
chise bill, saying:
81 cannot believe that those par
ties in whose hands the decision
lies will fail to realize what they owe
to the public in this critical hour
and l hope they will emphatically
repudiate the suspicion that they
really aim at an intolcrable delay.

The British Army now consists of
about four million men, but more
men are needed to end the war
quickly. Now is the time for the
100000 Britishers and Canadians in
the United States to spring to arms
and help beat the Kaiser.
"Why should a man wait to be
drafted?" said the British officer
first quoted, "when he has the glori-
Gus privilege Of volunteering his
services now? Every man is needed,
and a steady supply of men must go
forward every week"
The British Tommies have become
adept in the use of a machine gun
of American design, and their mobile
anti-aircraft guns, mounted on big
motor trucks, can be moved swiftly
from place to place. Many a hostile
aeroplane have they accounted for.
