THE BoLsHEvIk.

Just year, last February.
To our house stranger came
Bringing customs which were very,
Very odd and quite contrary
To our ways, subdued and tame. .zz57
In Some points he seemed like Nick
But we called him Bolshevik.
This because his name was truly
Quite peculiar to us then;
And, then too, his ways unruly ss7
Did not jibe with standards duly
Set by us for other men.
So the name just seemed to stick Sc
Wild and woody Bolsheyik.
Rights of property seemed never
To appeal to him at all
Or, at least, he didn't ever ss
Overlook chance to sever
Me from mine beyond recall
But, on losing his, he'd kick,
Inconsistent Bolshevik.
Only after calm reflection
DO my feelings rise above #s
Jealousy on recollection
Of his winning the affection
Of my wife with his free love.
Yet I lacked the nerve to lick
Her new pet, her Bolshevik.
Fact is, can't understand it,
But of him stand IN awe:
Just sign and this young bandit
Makes me- act as would mandate
From the higher courts of law.
Ny but my reactions quick
Terrorizing Bolshevik s8S
Yet ii know that this conei tion
Will not last for very long. ss9s
Social pressure and ambition,
With their natural fruition.
4ann
He'll be quite polished, slick,
Reconstructed BoIshevik.
Then the ways that we love dearly
In this nineteen month his -old elf II 4
win be banished most severely N.
And he'll come tossbe quite nearly
Like his daddy is himself
AT the thought my heart grows sick,
Darling little Bolshevik.

Expansion Inevitable

The president of the American Manu- facturers' Export association MT. George E. Smith, says in Everybody's that Amer ica is doomed to disappointment in the coming commercial struggle if she finds herself as unprepared for it as she was for the military struggle that recently ended in an armistice. Mir. Smith says: We shall have on our hands vastly increased working force which will have grown doubly efficient through the high pressure of war work. This working force must be used. To use it, manu- facturers must develop new products. and to develop these. new markets must be found. The development of a rich ex- port trade is our greatest safeguard against the dangers in the labor situa- tion after the war.
 ''In the widespread decline in wages and unemployment which may come after the war. we face in this country the ness men of the country prepare to deal with these problems by increasing their production and finding new markets for the new products.
 "America's business men are not en- tirely alive today to this situation. They are not taking the personal and definite interest in export trade which they will be eventually compelled to take. 'The immediate necessity Is to awaken the American business man to a realiza- tion that to maintain his present pros perity after the war. he must begin, here and now, to plan and prepare for the
 evitable in problems of tomorrow.

THE WORLDS MARKETS
Weekly Financial Review

New York, February 2.-Apart from the
 United States Steel quarterly statement
 and the lower "extra" common dividend,
 the stock market as a whole recorded no
 material changes during the dull and uninteresting week
 Economic problems as presented by
 world wide labor disturbances and the
 tangled railroad situation engaged the more serious attention of financial inter
 ests. contributing appreciably to the ex- pansion of short selling and occasional intervals of liquidation. In the absence of any encouraging in
 fiuence, the view prevailed that quoted values might be forced to lower levels, | the steel dividend giving point to that opinion. | Public interest was at lowest ebb and there were signs that bull pools in va rous speculative issues had temporarily | exhausted their resources.
 Specific reasons for the weakness of shippings and the better known oils were | furnished by the severe and unexpected | reduction in ocean rates and indications | of increasing friction between foreign holders of Mexican concessions and of l ficals of that government.
 Monetary conditions offered ground l for moderate optimism, dissolution of the | local money pool releasing large sums
 from interior banks and restoring rates ' for time and call funds almost to their
 former ease.
 I The investment market was slightly stimulated by extension of several ex-
 bring note issues and the underwriting
 of number of new issues, including southern railway and Rock Island short
 naturities. Several important bond issues are said to be under consideration, but 1 these are likely to remain in abeyance l until the victory" loan has been floated.

Cotton Review

New Orleans, February 2.-Net changes in the price of cotton last week were un- usually narrow. the old crop gaining to 62 points, while October the one ac- tive new crop option. lost a point. In spite of this price movements were wide, the range being from 223 to S06 points. At one time the trading months were 135 to 1S7 points over the closs of the preceding week and at another they were SS to 120 points under. Bear pressure at the beginning of the week forced wide declines much long cotton coming on the market. while later on the announce ment of lower ocean freight rates by the United States shipping board was a fac tor of the greatest strength.
 The lower rates on ocean freight was easily the most important feature of the week and following them were reports of an increased spot demand and more business with both England and the con- tinent. Next to this in importance as a bullish influence was the movement to encourage owners to hold old crop cotton and to bring about reduction in the acreage of the new crop. At the end of the week the market had good un- dertone but was inclined to sag under fears regarding impending labor trou- bles at the mill centers.
 This week the mill situation will be closely watched and bearish traders will make much of anything pointing to re- duced consumption. At the same time , bearish reports .nN this direction may be offset by the way foreign demand shapes up, as spot people were claiming at the end of last week that the spot demand was even extending to the lower grades and some brokers were complaining that 1t was easier to find buyers than sellers. should the new week open on reports Of much rain in the belt, the long side would be favored, since more moisture would interfere with the movement of cotton and would hinder still further the preparations for the new crop. It would not be surprising to see market features 1 of importance develop out of the agita-
 ton for a reduction in acreage.

Safe and Sane Meeting:

Saturday at | o'clock in the court
room, gcodly number Of farmers
and business men men met pursuant
to the call Of the Governor. II was
a raw, cold day which kept a large
number from attending. The meeting
was called to order by j.. W. Pu--
Vance, who was elected to preside
Pat Shea, Of Ramer, was elected sec
rotary.
A number Of good talks we're made
by ]. A. Houston, T. @. Carman, Rev.
W. A. Overton, ]. W. Purviance. z.
H. Thrasher, w. R. Crabtree, Terry
Alternately and others. Resolutions
were unanimously adopted agreeing
to cut down the acreage Of cotton Is
per cent and increase the feed and
feedstuff that much. The trend Of
the minds OF all present was that q
ten-million bale crop would bring
much more money than an eighteen
million bale crop, with the addition Of
the needed demand for corn and feed
stuff.
The experience Of the present year,
when every farmer has full corn-
crib and a smoke-house full Of meat,
is conclusive argument that it should
be repeated this year, and with an ex-
cess of each which bring big prices.
The excess crop is to be cotton. The
essential crop. foodstuff.
We believe our county will really
cut down the acreage Of cotton, be-
cause it is plainly to their interest to
do 80.

What makes pearl? Generally it
is grain Of sand or other irritating
substance that gets into the flesh of
the oyster, and the oyster, in order to
protect itself. exudes Shiny sub
stance to envelope the irritating thing
which thus slowly increases in size.
This brings up the thought that it is
sometimes misfortune or pain that
brings out the most perfect attrib-
utes Of human character. sorrow
and grief may bloom into goodness
under the will Of the Divine Master.
How it would comfort our pain some
! times IL we could feel that our af-
Fiction would crystalize into the peer

This thought IL doubtless not new,
but it is worth repeating, if old, for it
is founded upon one of the fundament-
al truths of our human existence.
