Local draft boards received calls today to send men to Camp Upton, but there is a conflict in the dates on the orders received and the off cials are uncertain when the men will go.

THE COTTON SITUATION.

Is the agitation over pricefxing fol-
cotton primarily part of the propa-
ganda of foreign manufacturers de-
signed to lower the market for their
benefit?
This is the charge brought by no
less an authority than Senator Hoke
Smith, and it is an accusation worthy
of investigation by the committee ap-
pointed to inquire into the advisable
itv of fixing a. price on cotton.
In a statement given to the public,
Senator Smith says;
I'VE are earnestly defending the
rights and interests of cotton grow
ers. We have brought the facts to
the attention of the President and the
war industries board, and we are plac-
ing the facts before the committees
on cotton they have appointed.
1--WE have shown there was no oc-
casion or authority for action with
reference to cotton by the Govern
ment We have shown the enormous
cost of the crop, the high prices con-
ceded to other commodities, and that
40 cents pound would be a fair
price for cotton. Our work is having
effect. Secretary Houston has repu-
dated the statement attributed to
him, that he favored 25-cent cotton.
1T is beginning to be known that
agitation of cotton price-fxing is not
helping whip the Germans, but help
ing foreign manufacturers obtain our
cotton at their own figures. If cot
ton OWNERS preserve their nerve and
courageousIy demand their rights l
believe they can be protected. l urge
the press to fully publish facts to
overcome propaganda of foreign man
ufacturers intended to depress the
price of cotton"
There is no question that the agi-
tation has already resulted in the
loss of many thousands of dollars to
the south, and has unsettled business
conditions to large extent. There is
not as much money in circulation as
ordinarily there would have been if
the cotton market had been permitted
tc take care of itself. Business has
been depressed. and bankers, mer-
chants, farmers and even individuals
not especially interested in cotton are
ali uncertain what to do and what to
expect from the future.
There is a growing sentiment, how
ever, that the government, if it does
standardize cotton. will determine on
price that will be entirely fair to
all concerned

THE FIGHTING IN SERBIA.

The desperate nature of the noun
tain fighting in southern Serbia is
readily understood by reference to a
photographic map. Monastir was en-
tered November 10, 1916, by the Serbs
the first city reconquered on their
own soil Since then the Serbs have
been marking time Through no fault
of their own. and losing men. They
have hitherto been unable to force
their way out of the mountain pocket
oSer tne second-class wagon-road to
Prilip, thirty miles to the northeast,
because they could not dislodge the
mountain batteries of the BuIgars and
the Austrians that studded the heights
along the way.
Monastir and Prilip both lie at an
elevation of about 1000 feet The road
crosses the Cherna about half way
between the two towns and the hills
close to the road at this point rise
about 600 feet above it. Through this
valley, east of Monastir and south of
Prilip, the river begins the famous
"Cherna bend"-a horseshoe some
sixty miles in length-on its rounda-
bout way to poin the Vardar. The
course of the Cherna is sent north
ward again by the Nudge range, east
of Monastir, which rises to $500 feet
North of Prilip is another range OF
almost the same height-the contour
map gives a difference of but sixteen
feet in favor of the northern range
Between these two ranges the Franco
Serbian forces, as the dividing wedge
of the advance, in the post of diffirulty
and honor where all is difficult and

BEANS AND BEANS.

Who would have believed the
United States government would ever
feel called upon to come to the de-
Tense of the butter-bean and protect
it against counterfeits?
To begin with, until recently the
butter-bean was admitted to most
tables rather on suffrance, like the
cymbling or the mustard green's, and
there seemed far more probability of
the big brother of the baricot fam
lily, especially in its dried form,
seeking to conceal it's personality in
PURGE or mashed rather than for
other vegetables to camouflage them
selves under the Joseph's coat of the
} ina bean.
1t appears, however, that the war
has so augmented the importance of
all beans that INSCRIPTIONS seed
profiters have been advertising as
butter beans of rare quality
ible gourds! Therefore the recent
warning sent to farmers by the
intel States Department of Agricul-
ture concerning vague but glowing
accounts of the new big bean varie-
ties, which have" the government
adds, "about the small food value of
the summer squash"
Just how the gourd at best can be
painted to look like a butter-bean
taxes the imagination, but the ways
of the profiteer are as inscrutable as
those of Providence herself.
The gourd in Spain and some other
lands is a symbol of stupidity and in
medieval times was the badge of Of
flee of the fool" as is instanced by
Calabazas (Gourds), the court dwarf
and jester immortalized by the brush
of VelasQuez. The question there
fore is, do the seed men think this
sale of gourds for butter-beans a
good joke or do they imagine that the
public in war time will even swallow
gourds for beans if the price is plac-
ed high enough? Examine the next
butter-bean served you; perhaps it's
a gourd!

THE BRITISH VICTORY.

The importance of the fighting in
Palestine and in Bulgaria should not
e under estimated.
Though these two Allied offensiyes,
both now eminently successful, are
more than thousand miles apart
measured by territorial distance, yet
there is an intimate connection be-
tween them.
The advance into Bulgaria has as
one of its objects the separation of
Bulgaria from Austria. and ultimate
ly the seizure Of the Berlin-to-Col
stantinople railroad.
The British push in Palestine would
weaken the Turkish army and SO en-
gage it as to prevent any assistance
being sent to the relief of Bulgaria.
Already the Turks have suffered
a severe defeat, losing more than
10000 in prisoners alone, in addition
to many guns and ammunition. 1t is
the worst setback the Sultan's forces
have experienced. and is really bril-
liant achievement for the British.
If this program is successfully con-
tinued, Turkey will be almost isolated
from its Teuton allies, and Bulgaria
also will be hemmed in. They will
be unable to help each other, and will
be barred from sending reinforce
ments at critical times to the Ger
mans and Austrians
Above all, the recent successes are
a great tribute to the wisdom of tbs
unified command that is personnel
in Marshal Foch.
