An interesting story comes from a
recent convention OF workers in the
cotton industry to the effect that a
defense" campaign Of one million
dollars is to be raised by cotton
workers tc fight any effort to lower
wages.
In setting costs there are two vital
elements-raw materials and manu-.
featuring costs. When raw material
slumps IL becomes possible to price
goods a little lower-when manufac-
turing costs slump it becomes pos
sible TO make the price of the finish
ed product still lower, The slump in
the price Of raw materials alone is
not going tic he sufficient to give us
anything like pre-war prices and
there must be a corresponding slump
in manufacturing costs to give us a
normal plane of living nee more.
In the face of that fact it would
appear that when the pr%ofteer had
been driven to cover, the crest in the

Don't Spoil a Good
Meal With a Bad
Stomach

1t is really a pitiful sight to see so
many thousands of people worrying
about what they can eat and what
they can't eat.
Dyspeptics, they call themselves. but
they stretch the imagination when
they do 1t.
All these people need to make them
healthy, cheerful and of sound Ape
lite is a box of Mi-O-Na Tablets.
The stomach of a dyspeptic is over
worked and run down. 1t needs help
to digest the food, but more than that
1T needs a prescription THAT will
cleanse, ~renovate, strengthen and put
elasticity into the stomach walls.
Mi-O-Na Is the prescription that will
do this and do it so promptly that
you'll wonder why you didn't try it
before.
It stops belching Of gas and distress
after eating in five minutes. It is un-
doubtedfy the greatest stopach tonic
ever given to the public by a specialist
in stomach diseases,
Leading druggists everywhere sell
Mi-O-Na on the money back plan.

BOrah Attack
 Disputed Article

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 6.-Sen. ator William E. Borah of Idaho in an address tonight made a vigorous attack on President Wilson's state ment on article ten of the league of nations covenant. He declared that if this government refused to take arms to aid country in the league which was invaded by the enemy, "the Uni ted States steps out with discredit and dishonored and the seeds of wars are scattered broadcast"
 "The presidents; last letter to the public informs us that article ten interfere with the right of congress to declare war or not to declare war" said Senator Borah. q can con ceive of but one way that congress could get out of declaring war in case of the invasion of territory of the member of the league and that would be to violate and wholly dis regard the plain terms of the treaty and to rend in pieces the league covenant itself. The president has said heretofore upon very solemn occasions, that article ten consti- tutes supreme moral obligation up- on the part of our nation, which mo- ral obligation he declared to be more binding than an obligation of law or contract. Congress is but an agent of the nation, and in refusing to carry out solemn promise, would brand our whole people with dishon- or and moral turpitude.

Joliet, Ills, Oct. 6.-Republican G. politicians "denouncing" the presi- dent and the league of nations, are preaching "destruction and disaster Secretary Daniels declared in an ad- dress tonight. Having kept the coun- try 'out of peace for more than year, they have no plan for keeping us out of war" he added.
 "lt was nothing more than burn ing, but impotent desire to destroy him (the president) and all his works" said the secretary, "to tear down what he had built up and climb to place and power on the ruins. Dc YOU doubt for a moment, does any one doubt, that if republican pres. ident had presented this league and treatry of peace to the senate, il would have been ratified in month and hailed as one of the greatest constructive achievements of the age?"

REPORT DECLARES WEATHER BIG HELP
 IN MAKING CROP
Dry Weather in Arkansas Un. usually Beneficial to
 Crop

Washington, Oct. 6.-Very little rain fell in the cotton belt during the week ending yesterday except in the Atlantic coast states where the amounts were moderate to fairly heavy, said the weekly crop bulle- tin issued today by the department of agriculture. All of the central and northwestern portions of the belt were practically rainless, said the report, and temperatures averaged unseasonably low in all the districts.
 Continuing, the repnrt said, cotton opened rapidly during the week and the weather was unusually favorable for harvesting except for some inter- ruption by rains in the eastern dis tricts. Frost occurred in most north ern localities but practically no dam age resulted although growth and further fruiting were stopped in some places.
 Further improvement was reported in Oklahoma and the general condi- tion of the crop in that state, was said to be very good now, except on some bottom lands, where weevil and boil worm have done much damage. The crop made very good advance in Texas and the dry weather and am pie sunshine were favorable in Ar kansas. No material change in con- dition was reported in the states east of the Mississippi river, al- though there was some damage loc- ally by heavy rains in the Atlantic coast area. Picking has been com pleted in many southern localities and is progressing rapidly in the cen- tral portions of the belt.
 Cool weather was favorable for sugar cane in the lower Mississippi valley, as it will hasten ripening; cane was doing we'll in that region, as well as in other sections of the south.

SIR AUCKLAND SAYS
 U. 5. AND BRITISH SHOULD SHOW DOWN
English Ambassador in Ad. dress Declares Both Nations
 Best Lay Cards on Table

Washington, Sept. - Adequate world trade developed by Great Brit ain and the United States require. that both nations lay their cards or the table, Sir Auckland Geddes, Brit. ish ambassador, declared tonight al a dinner party given by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States to representatives of the British Chamber of Commerce, guests of the American organization.
 The ambassador insisted there was greater desire in Great Britain fol closer business corporation with America than has been indicated by many American writers.
 Economic waste results when each nation regard the others commercial and financial activities with suspi- cion, he declared.
 Secrecy breeds suspicion, the mother of hostility" he said. q be- licve full reciprocity in frankness is essential if we are to avoid difficult ties. l believe most strongly in sym pathy of possible local dimunition private between our nations will pay us both best in the long run."
 Denies Report.
 The Ambassador denied published reports that the British government had sold to the German government a number of German ships with the object of hindering the development of the American merchant marine
 "Utter nonsence," he said, adding:
 "The British parliament under the leadership of the government has made it illegal for period of years to sell any ship in British hands to Germany or to Germans"
 Reverting ito, his theme of mutual understanding, the ambassador said:
 eff the English speaking people work together, no half-baked com munist or militarist adventurers will long continue to disturb the reset ting world"
 Echoing the ambassadors plea fol cooperation, Secretary Alexander of the Department of Commerce, told of America's merchant marine policy.
 "The United States does not con template any attempt to drive other nations out of the shipping business, he said. "On the other hand, l am only stating what is fair when l say it is the policy of this, country to own and operate a fair share of the worlds shipping.
