The Spring Cold

| have a cold; it should be
hard to be a cheerful sunshine
bard. I'd like to croak about
despair. and rear on my hind
limbs and swear; but habit is a
wondrous thing, and 50 | dance
around and sing. My head is
clogged, my eyes arc sore, and
every breath sounds like a
snore; I'm full Of fever, and my
brow feels like an old Dutch
oven now. and men would say !
had excuse if | should rant and
raise the deuce. But habit has
me in its grip, and so | sound
my cheerful zip. For years I've
piled this sunshine stunt, and
kept a smiling face in front. and
now, when would make lament,
! cannot do it worth a cent. I'm
feeling punk and tough as sin,
but every groan ends in a grin.
And this, my friends, methinks
should teach that wholesome
habit is a peach. Pm glad /
learned when | was young to
leave the doleful dirge unsung,
and chant glad ditties, span and
spick, till some one hit me with
a brick, to push gay ballads
through my beard, until the
peelcrs interfered.

Brooklyn Woman Sells
Bale of Cotton, Bought
In Atlanta for $192

The highest profit made here
through the purchase of cotton in
1914 during the "Buy-a-Bale" move
ment was announced Wednesday
when Mrs. Charles B. Shannon, of
Brooklyn, N. Y, sold for S1a2.70, a
bale Of cotton which had been pur-
chased less than six years ago at
S47.50. Tho purchase and sale were
made through H. Y. McCord, presi-
dent of the McCord Stewart COM
pany, a leader in the BUY a Bale
movement.
While the "Buy-a-Bale" movement
was a patriotic campaign organized
for the relief Of the farmer at the
outbreak of the European war in
1914, many of the purchasers in the
the movement have made large prof
it's from what they supposed to, be
patriotic contributions. Mr.. McCord
htated Thursday that owners of cot
ton secured at 10 cents a pound dur
ing the "Buy-a-Bale" campaign had
sold their purchases at prices rang
ing from 10 cents to Al cents.
Mrs. Shannon's transaction brought
the largest profit recorded in At
lanta. She purchased a bale weigh
ing ATS pounds at 10 cents a pound.
In the five and a half years of
storage the bale lost only five pounds
in weight, and, selling at Al cents a
pound, brought $192.70. Substract-
ing $27.50 for the cost of storage and
insurance the net profit was $117.70;
and substracting $15.67 for per cent
interest on her investment for the
five and half years, Mrs. Shan
non still has a profit Of $1O2.03.

| FRENCHMAN CALLS
TREATY COLLAPSE
POLITICAL FIGHT

PARIS, March 25.-Commenting on
the rejection of the Versailles
treaty by the United States senate
Captain Andre Tardieu, writing in
PIllustration says: eft was a po-
litical campaign conducted for a po-
l:tica1 aim by political means. The
aim was to deprive President Wilson
and the Democratic party Of power;
the. means were negative expectancy
during the negotiations, assault aft
err the signature Of the treaty.
However, the treaty Of Versailles
remains integrally in force and the
League of Nations remain consti-
tuted. No matter how great the re-
gret one feels at the absence of the
United States, nothing is lacking in
the right Of either the treaty or tha
League of Nations to live and func-
ton
With reference to the guarantee
to France against unwarranted at
tack by Germany necessitating abeJ-
ance owing to the non-ratification o.
the British, American and French
pact, Captain Tardieu says:
while France deeply regrets the
collapse IF the treaty, it is no time
to forget services rendered. France
recollects 100000 soldiers and
15,O0O,O0O,O00 francs loaned at a
time when neutral markets were
closed to us; 100000 tons of ship
ping placed at our disposal, and
thousands Of tons of wheat, assuring
bread for 100000 Frenchmen.
France remembers that if Mar
shall Foch was able to conceive and
execute the offensive of July, 1913,
it was due to the 100000 American
soldiers reaching France monthly.
eff, owing to decentralization CT
the American, British and French
protective treaty, France, after hf-
teen years Of occupation along the
Rhine, has no other guarantee of Sc
curity than the occupation of the
left bank of the Rhine bridgehead
such occupation might be prolonged
until other guarantees exist whether
they are obtained through tho COM
ing into force of the American, Brit
ish and French pact or other equiv
alent guarantees"

SAYS PRESIDENT
SHOULDNOTRUN
FOR THIRD TERM

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Presi-
dent Wilson should announce i'm
mediately that he is not candidate
for a third term, Representative
Humphreys, Mississippi, declared in
the house today.
-Ir. Humphreys asserted that I'M
der no conditions should Mr.. Wilson
consider asking for reelection, and
advocated the passage of a constitu-
tional amendment limiting presiden-
tial eligibility to one term.
IT regret that the president has
remained silent as to his intentions
in the matter of a third term" Mr..
Humphreys said, land that he has
permitted so many of his friends, in
Guiding members of his own cabinet,
to advocate publicly his reelection.
remaining silent he has allowed
the country to believe that he is will
ing to break the ancient precedent"
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Humph-
reys' speech both Democrats and Re-
publicans rose and cheered.
The speech was the first Demo-
cratic political attack on the pres
ident during this session.
He declared that talk of a third
term is "a somnabulism, which ne
elects the traditions of our fathers"
and that it shows tendency to make
the United States kingdom instead
of republic.
Mr.. Humphreys stated he was
proud of the record of the president
during his term of office, but pointed
out that Washington, Jefferson, Lin
coin, Grant and Mckinley all were
against third term
"These are the precedents which
have come down to US from those
who have carried the torch of liberty
through a century of effort to ne
gate and discredit the theory Of the
divine right of kings" Mr.. Humph-
reys said.
He then declared that it was be-
cause the Democrats "sensed danger
in the air. that the one-term plank
was put IN the 1912 platform.
"I am aware, most painfully aware
that we have drifted from the old
mornings to which our fathers chung"
Mr.. Humphreys added.
Significance was given to Mr.
Humphreys speech by the fact that

consent Of the house for the ad-
