THE "CAN'T-BE.DON-ERSr
There's thousand "Can't-be-
ers.'
For one who says 1T cam Y
Bit the whole amount of deeds that
count
Is done by the latter clan.
For the Cant -don-ers" grumble,
And hamper, oppose and doubt,
While the daring man who says IT
Proceeds to work it out
There isn't a new invention
Beneath the shining sun,
That was ever wrought by deed or
thought
OF the tribe of Cant be-done,"
For the Can't-de-don-ers" mutter.
While the "Can-bes,' cool, sub
lime.
Make their notions work, till the
others smirk,
"0h, we knew it all. all the timel'
Oh, the Can bees" clan is meager,
It's membership is small,
And it's mighty few see their dreams
come true,
Or hear fame's trumpet call;
But it's better to be a "Can-be,"
And labor and dream and--i;e,
Than one who runs with the Cant
be-dones,"
Who haven't the pluck to try

GERMANS MUST BUY
AMERICAN COTTON

Berlin, Sept. 22.- (By The Assoc
ciated Press.0 -7American cotton must
be bought by Germans at any cost in
the opinion of German textile ex-
perts, though they groan when they
think Of the prices. These experts
estimate that American cotton will
cost In Germany about OK marks
for the German pound, which is
somewhat heavier than the Ameri-
can. This price is in part owing to
the low exchange value Of the Ger
man mark which before the war was
normally worth about "a cents.
Some little American cotton has
been landed at Bremen. especially
since 1t has become possible to send
orders by wireless and thus avoid
delay Of five days or more in cabling
by the way of England. Experts say
the Americans are anxious to do
business directly with Germany and
to avoid any interference by the
British but the German regulations
limiting bills OF exchange is a SCI
rious handicap for it prevents the Inn
portation of much cotton from Amer
lea through fear Of losses by ex-
change.
Nevertheless, the trade writer's
