ROSE-MARIE

ROSE-MARIE By Minna Irving. We're home again, the husky boys
 Who made the Germans run. And bore the flag of freedom o'er
 The river of the Hun, And helped to plant in solid ground
 The fair French fleur-de-lis, The lily of the native land
 Of dainty Rose-Marie. We shared the trenches with the rats
 And swarms of other things, The bees of battle made us feel
 Their deep and deadly stings; The rain came down and soaked ua
 through.
 We wallowed to the knee In mud and blood and frightfulness--
 But there was Rose-Marie. Her waist was plfant as a flower
 And just the proper size, And all the summer evening stars <
 Were shining in her eyes. She kept little village store
 In pleasant Picardy purchased trash didn't want
 To talk to Rose Marie. used to love Lucinda's voice.

Premature Wrangling
 Over League of Nations

A LTHOUGH President Wilson has GA not yet set foot on American soil, bearing the much-discussed con- stitution of the league of nations, Congress has already started heated debate, without doing the President the courtesy to be heard before an at tempt is made to undermine his work in France.
 Thus far, adverse criticism of the a}fague, particularly by such men as Borah, has been more sound and fury than anything else. As Henry Van Dyke said in a recent address, MT. Borah shows an astonishing ignorance of the subject. Furthermore, MT. Borah has proved that he is narrow minded by declining to accept MT. Wilson's invitation to come to the White House and talk over the peace league informally. Doubtless MT Wilson would advance reasons that EMr. Borah could not refute and he jsn't going to run the risk of being eouverted!
 There is little question in the pub
 ke mind that the President will be able

Reduction of Cotton
 Acreage Urged

TN years past when cotton farmers U were confronted by low prices resolves" were made to reduce pro- duction, but the action of farmers meetings in that direction was not taken seriously. It will be different this year.
 The depressed market has stirred up lively interest not only in agricul- tural circles, but in banking and com mercial circles as well. And the best of it is that the farmer is able to hold his cotton until he can get fair price.
 It is generally agreed that this years cotton acreage should be great fly reduced and indications point to concerted action. which has been ab- sent heretofore.
 Alabama is .prospering in high degree by reason of it's we'll estab- |lished crop diversification practice. It grows cotton and it will always grow lit, but on much smaller scale than in former years. This state produced more of the staple in 1918 than in I1917, but not more than half as much as in the bumper cotton year. Along with other states the Ala bama acreage will be materially re- duced this year. Governor Kilby's proclamation calling upon the farmers and business men to meet in their re- spective communities on Saturday, March 8, for the purpose of discuss ing the question of cotton acreage in connection with farm diversification with a view of curtailing cotton pro- duction and increasing food produc- tion, is most timely. The meetings should be, and doubtless will be, largely. attended,
 There will be no 'bluffing" in the cotton south. If 50 per cent reduc- tion in acreage be agreed upon the agreement must be carried out in lgood faith from Virginia to Texas.

Congress Conservative

''The general temper of Congress as it draws near March is on the whole con- servative," Henry Clews of New York says, land such action as has been taken of late has been encouraging. Certainly it is the evident wish of all parties in Con- gress to see the United States pass safely through the present period of world re- adjustment without any serious shock to it's underlying social and economic struc- ture.
 This furnishes the underlying basis of the stock markets confidence-a feeling strengthened by the fact that affairs at the peace conference are evidently mov- irg toward harmonious climax, regard less of the question how far the scheme for League of Nations or other new plans agreed upon may in the future prove themselves feasible"
