COTTON MUST BE DRY

A large number of gins over
the State are refusing to gin
any cotton that has not had
sufficient time to dry out. In
deed, some Of the gins have
closed down entirely until such
time as it is deemed the cotton
in their communities has been
thoroughly dried.

BIRTH AND DEATH.

If little babies knew this old world

If they knew its grief and sorrow.
and its found of drea-y strife,
If they knew the hurt and ache en- the
path that they must take,
/ wonder would they venture
through the swinging gates Of
HE?
Would they fear the same as we, the
life that is to be
If they knew some distcrt morn
ing they must journey to the
earth;
Would they view the land of breath,
as we view the realm of death (;
Would they want to par5 the cur
tains on the mystery Of birth?
Yet with all the grief and pain and
its days Of dreary rain
And despite the disappointments
which the passing year. may
bring,
There are joys to compensate US, to
entrance US and elate us,
And this mortal life we know of
is the life to which we'd cling.
Babes may view the Land Of Breath
as we view the realm Of death
Birth to them may be as dying, and
we men who walk the earth
When we break through lifa's thin
cover and pass upward, may dis
cover
That the death we mad been dread
ing is a brighter, happier birth.

Of the fairness of the American
newspaper, she goes on to say: ..
But the best thing about them
is the advertisements. They are
simply magnificent! They are full
of wit. even poetry; they read like
fiction. We never had anything like
that in Russia. Full moon tonight,

continued, it urged me to buy a

the skin you love to touch And
they end with wooden underwear and
