AN SONG

AN UNPOPULAR SONG.
The good, kind friends all gathered at the station,
And they gathered there Just for to say farewell,
And the relatives all stood around quite fearful,
And the sorrow in their hearts no man can tell.
Then the hero came and climbed into the Pullman.
- When he had kissed the women folks goodbye,
And they waved their handkerchiefs as though quite cheerful
But the tears they were a-brimming in each eye.
Farewell" they cried. The train sped from the depot.
The relatives ali trembled as in fear.
The hero sobbed and took a chew of Spearhead.
He was going to the north woods to hunt deer.
When they say nowadays that a soldier has Joined the great ma
jonty they do not mean he has died. They mean he has got married.
Ken Roberts lunches us that the government has Just issued pam.

CONTROL OF COTTON PRICES.
Mr.. Hoover's Representative Thinks
Price Fixing Shall be Universal.

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
publishes a dispatch from Washlng-
ton upon this subject which we quote
in part as follows:
"Any attempt to include cotton IN
general price control will awaken the
forces which obtain its elimination
from the food control act at the last
session. Senators. Smith of South
Carolina, and Hoke Smith of Geor-
gia, will lead in fight against any
effort to control prices if they be-
lieve such action would force prices
down. In the house there are
score of southern members VINO
would talk indefinitely against such
a course.
Conferences among Southern
members already have disclosed their
fears for cotton in. a general COM
modify control bill. The faith OF
the cotton grower is in the ability OF
his representative in congress to
forestall anything savoring control OF
cotton. If general commodity de-
velops cotton will be included. The
Southern members will not be able to
stand out. for their pet product
against control of anything else
entering into daily human consump-
tion.
"It is recalled that the Southern
members were favorable to inclusion
of steel and iron, hides, wool, copper
and other commodities in the food
control bill, but when an amend
ment was offered to include cotton,
hurried conferences were he'd and
an agreement reached to confine the
bill to food, fuel, and feeds.'
In an interview published in the
World last Sunday, Mr.. M. l. Requa'
Mr.. Hoover's personal representative
| anu one VI lis CulOA iAOASSAAeAASS, ~~
quoted as follows:
'In my opinion there must be uni

ultimate consumer"
AS to the available supply of neces-
saries, Mr. Requa said:
'Tt cannot be made too clear that
there is a plentiful supply of necessa-
ries for this country and for the
allies. There need be no question
of that. Our difficulty is not with
the supply. A great many people are
given to saying that the matter OF
prices should be left to the law OF
supply and demand. I think that
lis probably the most cruel, inhuman
proposal I can imagine, because 1t
would leave the poor where they
could not get what they actually
need to live and the rich could get
anything they want.
Furthermore, I have little
patience with the men who insist on
saying that the price of food is
merely an economic question. I know
perfectly we'll there are lot of peo-
pie in this city who are not getting
enough to eat, although as l said
before, we have plenty in this
country for our own needs and for
our allies" s."-Commerce and Finance,
