OUR INDIVIDI AL PART.

Some observers think that
the most characteristic thing
about the American soldiers
in France. something which as
tounds and excites the admira-
ton Of our Allies. is the capacity
of the American soldiers TO do
individual thinking and fighting
The German fights successfully
only in mass formation. in or
gained bodies, while every
American soldier has an initla-
tive and independence Of action
which gives him remarkable eff
fciency in open fighting. They
are not senseleSS cogS. but each
is an individual working unit in
a great fighting machine
Every American al home
should feel an individual respon-
sibility and do his or her indi-
vidual part in winning the war.
There is not an American citi-
zen who cannot help win the
war. The Fourth Liberty Loan
drive, which begins September
18th, offers a great opportunity
for concerted action and for in
dividual action. and the loan will
be a tremendous success if each
American will do his or her in
dividual part as each American
soldier in France does his part.
Our soldiers deserve such sup
port from the people at home.

Top Crop of Cotton
Favorable Increase in Late Crop
Much to Be Picked in
South Carolina.

Washington, Dec. 6.-With few eX-
ceptions the weather during Novem-
ber was favorable for increase In the
late and top crop of cotton, accord
ing to the national weather and crop
bulletin issued today.
Much late cotton matured under
the influence of mild weather and
the absence of serious frost damage,
especially in tho western cotton area.
The top crop is reported larger than
expected I'M Texas. Considerable late
cotton was damaged by rain in the
western part of the area during the
latter part of the month.
The harvesting of cotton made sat
isfactory progress except in few dis
tricts where delayed by labor short
age and weather. In Mississippi pick
ing was practically completed except
in the delta region, where about rs
per cent. has been gathered. In South
Carolina it is reported that one-third
of the crop remains to be picked,
while in North Carolina only about
10 per cent. is yet in the fields
The crop was mostly gathered in
other sections.

Paris, Dec. 6, 5.25 P. NJ (By the

Frederick Wilhelm has renounced his
right to the German throne.
