MAMA HIGHBRoW's WAY.

From the cambridge Post-Searchlight.
1t is so refreshing to have Mama Highbrow
send notice of her Mabel's wedding to some
daily paper and then hop on the home pa
per because it does not know that Mabel
is fixing to leap. Mama will see to it that it
gets to the other fellow, but the home editor
must put sleuth on Mabel dea-'s trail to
find out what she is going to do about this
leaning business. We dove don't think.

COTTON is A LUXURY.
From the Springfield Republican.

From the Springfield Republican.
With cotton selling in Arkansas at S1.O0
a pound we may have to wear silk What
cheap cotton has meant to the world has
perhaps been too little appreciated. For one
thing it has played an important part in the
reduction of disease by making more fas-
tidious personal cleanliness possible for the
masses. The sanitary and hygienic value of
cheap cotton is SO great that on this ground
alone there would be cause to hope that the
present shortage will soon be relieved.

FREE ADVICE, BUT IT'S GOOD.

From the Fort Gaines Georgian.
Lest we forget how to butt into our neigh

herewith risk suggesting that the one-crop
policy for farmers will be unsound in 1920
as it was in 1910. Even if cotton should
soar to dollar a pound it is not at all sure
that an all-cotton program would pan out

Large Proportions

~ special correspondent.
TOTTENVILLE, Sept. 16:-The
sale of army food at the Tottenville
school has assumed such proportion
during the past several days that
more volunteer workers had to assist
in the work. The shipment of $50
cases of corn thai was received on

idly yesterday together with the
other foodstuffs that were on hand.
A shipment of jam that was received
yesterday was also readily sold as
was the canned tomatoes that were
on hand for the past week or more.
There is still some bacon in large
pieces and an effort was being made
by those in charge to have it cut in
smaller slices SO that it could be sold
more readily.
The Huguenot Park school that
was designated at first for one of the
centers on. the island for the sale of
the army supplies is to be opened

the Sixtieth precinct station to re-
port at the office of Deputy Commits

to the fact that place will be opened
shortly. Deputy Commissioner O'Mal-
ley has announced that the sale of
the army food in the public schools
would end on September %, a week
from today. This is due, 1t is said,
not to a ~slackenfng in the demand
for the supplies but because of he
war departments plan to dispose or
the surplus supplies at retail stores

Famous American Clipper Ships.

In the days of the famous clipper
ships, the American vessel was sec
ond to none, writes Frederick A. Col.
Inns in Boys Life. No other country
could build ships at once so staunch
and SO speedy. Records were estab-
lished which have never been sur
passed by sailing craft and, even with
the use of steam, were not bettered for
nearly half a century. In 1852 the
Sovereign of the Seas sailed 4S6 miles
in q single day. The Lightning crossed
the Atlantic in 10 days 20 hours. and
the James Blaine Of $500 tons made
the voyage from Boston to Liverpool
in IL days and 6 hours. Although
America led the way with the first
transatlantic steamship, she allowed
the sovereignty Of the seas to slip
gradually from her. At the beginning
OF the war most of her tonnage was
afloat on the great lakes or engaged
in coastwise traffic, and her deep-sea
fleet was small.
