Abraham Lincoln. He drew an il
Illuminating character sketch of the
two men, showing in what particulars
they differed and wherein they re-
sembled each other. in mind, spirit

subject was so deftly and masterful-
iy presented that it seemed simplicity
itself, but DR.. Skies art as a speaker
was never better exemplifed He has
the cultivated gift of clear and for

development and it is a pleasure to
hear him discuss any subject, and
those who hear him attentively new
er fail to be enlightened.
AT the conclusion of the exercises
Taps were sounded by Harold De
Lorme of the High School Orchestra,
which furnished the music for the
occasion.

There has been recently more or
less discussion of the cost of produc-
,g cotton and the margin of profit
IT the prevailing prices. There have
oeen no reliable statistics on which to
)ase an estimate for this immediate
iectiOn but in general way it has
been known that the cost of making
;otton has risen more rapily than the
price and that at the present marke
than on almost any other staple ar
,icle of commerce. Tat this opinion
vas we'll taken is proven by figures
obtained few days ago from a citi-
zen Of North Carolina, who quoted
statistics tabulated by government
officials i'm that State. Official rec
)rds have been kept as to the cost OF
;rOwng cotton on 2l0 selected farms
IN North Carolina during the past five
ears. these farms being of various
lies and types and scattered through
)ut the State, so that they are repre-
sentative of the average of the cotton
iarms of the state. The average cost
IF producing cotton on these farms for
he crop year 1917 was 1895 cents
Der pound. and the statistical experts
Who tabulated the reports from these
farms estimate from reports on labor
lnd fertilizer costs this year that the
actual cost of producing cotton this
year will be not less than 40 per cent
higher than last year. At the mark et
price of cotton today the margin of
profit on cotton grown on the average
farm this year will not be an adequate
return on the investment and labor
expended in producing it. No manu-
facturer engaged i'm doing war work
for the government would he satisfied
With profit as small as the cotton
farmer will receive, unless cotton ad-
vanced to Il price considerably above
thirty cents.
