''I had great trip to Camp Walton with my family in an automobile" said Dr. P. B. Wells. pastor of the High land Methodist church

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
THE OLD MAN SPEAKS.

Say I'm old and hope has left me,
 Say my dreams have come to naught And the hard years have bereft me
 Of the strength with which fought. Still, my seal has learned this lesson
 In the rugged school of life; Better far Il is to press on
 And to m;ngle in the strife Than to stand aside while others
 Scale the heights of which l dream. Let me battle with my brothers,
 Not drift iely on life's stream.

Relative Value of
 Wheat and Cotton

S1TNHE nlgn price Ol cOLCOH causes U certain northern republicans and newspapers to elamor for gov ernment action fixing a maximum market value. Cotton has reached a 35-cent level. Those who are urging price-fixing want to force the cotton grower to sell his product at 20 cents or less.
 E. A. Calvin, representative of the cotton states official advisory mar keting board, has prepared statlsti- cal paper which ably combats the ar gument against high price cotton and corrects many misleading statements.
 In view of the short crop 35 cents would be a legitimate price for spot cotton. Those who have been making capital out of the fact that a price |has been fixed on wheat while no price has been fixed on cotton have overlooked essential figures. MT. Calvin says:
 take it that all honest people will concetle that it is nothing but fair and reasonable that wheat and cotton should advance in value in about the same proportion. as both are of international impor- l tance, and together constitute an l asset greater in value than our l gold reserve If the government | should decide to fix a price on cot l ton the price would have to be 1 materially advanced over that for
 which the 1917 crop sold, in order l that the fixed price might be com- l parable to the fixed price of wheat, l and if the government should raise ] the price of cotton to the level of
 wheat the cotton price fixing ad-
 vocates ,tuld throw fit and in
 stantly develop a genuine case of
 political hydrophobia. Wheat has
 advanced more rapidly than cotton, and under the increase in the price
 of wheat by virtue of the procla-
 nation of the President. wheat is
 now considerably higher than cot ton.
 The average price received by farmers for wheat during the four year period just prior to the war. hAt ir- elusive, was S7 cents per bushel. l The average price received by
 them during the year 1917 was
 $2.0OS per bushel, or $1.1ss per
 bushel more than the rour-year
 average prior to the war This is
 an increase of 1908 per cent in the
 price of wheat over the four-year
 pre-war average.
 The average price received by
 cotton farmers during the same ] period was 12.2 cents per pound.
 The price received by them during
 1917 was 23.2 cents per pound, or !, II cents per pound more than the
 four-year pre-war average. This is
 an increase of 9017s per cent in the price of cotton over the four-yea.
 average. From these figures it will
 be seen that while cotton has in creased 9O.1T per cent over the } four-year pre-war prices. wheat
 has increased 1908 per cent over
 the four-year pre-war prices, a difference of 40.6s per cent in favor of wheat
