Taking Care of Today

Is the Best Way to Take Care of Tomorrow
The Presidents veto of the Daylight Repeal bill
seemed to be the proper thing at the present time,
when there is shortage in labor and scarcity OF
food.
In spite of everything, scarcity of raw materials
that enter into fabrics of articles of food would
of itself naturally raise prices, but 1t Is ntoerable
to allow the secondhand dealers and bankers to
store and speculate with food products to add to the
wars heavy burdens. -
Visitors to the Rhine have had pointed out to
them near Cobenz the site of old palace of high
official who, during famine for a long period
stored grain and refused to sell it at any price The
people became so enraged and infuriated that to
escape them he took refuge in his stone fortress on
the Rhine where he was punished for his selshness
by losing his life to thousands of hungry rats.
Public sentiment with or without hungry rats
can meet almost every situation
It is our best Judgment that, after SO many
Summer holidays, and next Saturday holiday
coming next Before it, Labor Day, next Monday, is
best used by "all hands on deck and at work"
Therefore this business place will not be closed
on Labor Day.

COTHRON G|VENL LIFE
TERM FOR Staying
Sentenced to Spend Remaining
Days in Maryland Peni-
Tertiary by Judge.

BELA1R, Nd, Dec. r. Chatting
gayly as he gathered his few per-
sonal effects in his cell in the Belair
jail yesterday and bidding his fellow
prisoners a cheerful good-by, Clar-
ence NJ. Cothrony entered an automo-
bile with Sheriff Sheridan and was
soon on his way to Baltimore to be-
gin his life Imprisonment in the
penitentiary.
When it was announced that Goth
ron's attorney, Milton Dashiell, Of
Baltimore, had not filed motion for
new trial, the time limit for which
expired yesterday, Judge Harlan, con-
vening court, ordered Cothron brought
in Handcuffed and pale, he entered
the prisoners dock. When asked by
the court whether he had anything to
say, Cothron replied NO"
Judge Harlan then told the prisoner
that he had been adjudged guilty Of
murder in the first degree without
capital punishment for the killing Of
John T. Weldon, a negro, and the
sentence of the court is that "You be
confined in the Maryland penitentiary
the remainder Of your natural life"
Cothron smiled as he was led from
the courtroom. Within half an hour
he was on his way to the penitentiary.
He said he did not expect to remain
in prison more than year or two.
When asked what he meant by this
he said his attorney was a close
friend OF Governor-elect Ritchie and
also OF John F. Leonard, warden Of
the penitentiary, and that there would
be sufficient ''pulI'' with these men
to have him freed within a year or
two. '
Cothron expressed interest in the
approaching trial of his wife, Grace
Cothron, who stands indicted in Cecil
county as an accessory to the killing
Of Weldon, and said he hoped she
would escape punishment, even IL she
did turn against him at his trial here.

PREDICTS 55CT
COTTON; Wild
SCRAMBLE SEEN

ATHENS, Oct. 13.-"In thirty
days there will be a wild scramble
for and, in my judgment, 55-cent
cotton IS in sight, declared Thomas
j. Shackelford up his return from Ar
kansas, where he has been busily en-
gagged for the last two weeks in or
ganizing the American Cotton Asso-
citation.
Mr.. Shackelford has been in every
cotton state in the Union during the
past six weeks, and says he is in
position to know that the 1920 crop
is exceedingly small "People have
have been selling very freely at the
beginning Of the season. They were
afraid of the steel strike and also the
big rail strike in England, but neith-
er of these any longer effect cotton"
in the opinion of Mr.. Shackelford.
Wherever | have been Southern
mills have been frightened about cot
ton and have been holding out. Now
they are buying fast. They realize
now that there will not be enough
cotton to meet the demand"
Cotton should be selling at 55
cents a pound today, according to
Mr. Shackelford. He says the man
ufacturers could pay the price and
then realize a large profit. Cotton
goods are going up every day, the
mills can hardly supply the demand
and the only reason that cotton is
not selling at SO cents now is be-
cause European buyers have been
kept out of the market to an extent
by the great difference in exchange
and by the railroad strike in England.
The peace treaty delay has also had
its effect All of the differences and
difficulties, however, are only tempor-
ary he thinks.
