The Melting Pot
COME TAKE POTDUCK
WITH Us

Probably it is all in the way one
looks at things.
Saturday a friend Of ours who
happens 10 be prominent in South
Bend business circles was told of
picture running at a well known
theater. and warned not TO see the
picture on account OF its naughti-
ness.
After thinking over what he had
been told, and being somewhat bored
with things in general, our friend
decided TO see the picture. Before
he fully decided. however. he met
some more friends. and they. too.
told him that he should not see the
picture as it was unusually risque.
That clinched the matter with our
friend. He made up his mind TO see
the picture at all costs. so he took
the first opportunity TO visit the
.theater.
He seated himself at just the rigl$

watch the film. He became impa-
tient at the usual number of adver-
tisements displayed on the screen
before the real action of the eve
ming would take place. Then came
the name of the picture, the name
of the producer, the name of the
writer Of the scenario and the names
of those taking the leading parts.
Now wen have the action, q"
unused our friend as the first scene
of the story opened, and foot after
foot Of film glided by. There was
considerable action. TO be sure, but
nothing so far like our friend had
been led to expect.
Still more feet of film hickered by,
and once there was a near climax,
but still it was about as eventful as
any other screen climax at any of
the South Bend theaters is.
our friend did not become dis
couraged. lie had come TO see
something that ne had been warned
he ought not to see, and he meant
to see it, no matter what happened.
Once he was disturbed by some
women leaving the theater The dis
turbance occurred when he had to
get up to let them pass, and he
overheard one of them say:
Isn't il just awful? They ought
to be ashamed TO show such a pic
ture."
Still our friend sat, waiting for
something naughty 10 be shown on
the screen. BY a stretch Of his
J imagination he thought he saw a
situation if it were carried to the
very extreme might be construed by
some as being unnecessary at a
church social but for real naughti-
ness or anything bordering on the

 Fulton said he wanted chance to fight the winner of the proposed Will lard-Dempsey match.

 "Now with Jess Willard wanting to fight and with Dempsey picked by most critics as the man to meet him, l do not propose to keep still any longer.

 By making a clean breast of the part l played in that Harrison Park affair nope the public will forgive me and grant me the privilege to fight for the worlds championship, if not in the show that Tex Rickard is promoting, then with the man who wins the fight"

HOW MUCH COTTON IN 1oton

By Bradford Knapp, Chief States Re
 lation Service, South; U. s. De-
 partment of Agriculture.
 How much cotton should Arkansas farmers plant in 1919? This may ue answered as follows:
 If the cotton farmer of the South will only remember his experience since 1914, he will be assisted in de- termining upon a plan for the future. He should remember that often in the past twenty years his greatest profit has come from actual misfor- tune; namely, bad season and a short crop brought high prices, while good seast.n and big crop brought low prices. He has seen disaster an great financial hardship from the boil wilt in some sections, from the red spider in others, from the outbreak of the war in Europe and from threat ened legislation. These experiences should be enough to convince any thinking man that speculation by the farmer in cotton acreage is an unprofitable business. While the gross return per acre in cotton raising is the largest Of any single non-perish
 able farm crop. it is important to note that the cotton farmers do not stand near the top of the list in aver
 age wealth, and any comparisons be- tween the all-cot,pn territory and highly diversified agricultural sec tions are all in favor of the diversi- fed sections against the cotton area No One Knows Future Demand. No man can say definitely what amount of cotton the world will need in the next eighteen months. The immediate demand for cotton, due to
 the close of the war, must be satis- fled out of the present crop. In tlle face of the uncertainties of the pres ent time, when world trade has been seriously disturbed and when the whole of civilization seems to be in a period of Aux, is it not wise plss1 to develop an agriculture which is safe for our farmers and which will maintain the supremacy in cotton
 production by safeguarding it by a
 better balanced system of agricul- ture?
 Play Safe-Some Things To Do. The acreage in cotton for 1918 w;s
 next to the highest ever planted. the highest in 1918 being only few thou sand acres greater. Had it not been
 for the unfortunate season we would have had a very large crop of cotton in 1918. Any increase in the acreage planted in 1919 over 1918 with good season would produce an enormous crop of cotton with all of the attend ant risks which abnormally large production has always brought to tho cotton planters. i good average ac- -eage we'll tended. with good season Il conditions, will produce large ,rop More attention should be giv- en to the securing of better seed, bel ter preparation of the soil. commun- ity production of uniform varieties and cooperative grading and market ing of the product, rather than the haphazard speculative planting of a large crop poorly tended and Of in ferior quality.
