horrId thought passed through my
mind: Perhaps Bob hadn't been very
observant when he passed the hail
table.
Although AIMS house was only a
few hundred feet from my own, she
had not missed us, she did not know
that we had been away from home.
| gathered from AIMS evasive man
ner that she had been off on some
silly escapade, and therefore had
avoided getting in touch with me the
previous day.

Ann on the days she fails to run
over to tell me something extreme
ly important. She does so only when
she has something to conceal,

affairs in order that l might dwell
less morbidly upon my own, that
might forget that haunting question:
Where had Bob spent two nights and
the day between!
The entrance of one of the nurses
rescued me from my mental distress.
He is awake? Conscious?"

Hold On To Your Cotton Like
Grim DEATH Briton Advises

must obtain.
"In February of this year cotton
was quoted in Liverpool at 28.40d ;
today the quotation is 15.50d, and
in view of the rate fexchange the
price we consider is very cheap.
The solution to the whole posi-
tion rests with your people as to their
ability to hold the goods (cotton.)
Our advise is, hold on like grim
death
"Will you please forward US the
average cost of growing cotton at
your convenience"
Here is an admission by one of the
important cotton manufacturing
concerns of England that it has been
heretofore wholly ignorant in regard
to the question of the cost of cot
ton-growing in the South and the con-
ditions under which the farmers of
this section have had to live during
the last so years by reason of the
poverty prices of cotton. They take
the very proper view of the situation
that on falling market people will
not buy cotton goods, and that though
the markets of the world need vast
quantities of cotton goods, they will
not be purchased until there is ris-
ing market.
This is true as to all things. Peo-
pie will not buy on a falling market,
because they ever want to find the
bottom. 1t is only on a rising mar
ket that there is prosperity, and I'M
til the rising market takes place in
farm products there can be no gen
eral prosperity among the farmers
and workers of the whole nation.
The advice of this English cotton
manufacturing firm is unlike any
that we have ever received from cot
ton manufacturers in this or any 9TH
er country, for they advise that the
cotton growers Of the South "hold
on" to cotton "like grim DEATH" tax
ing the ground that "the solution of
the whole position rests with the cot
ton growers as to their ability to hold
the goods" (cotton.)

set forth some facts in regard to the

cotton manufacturers of Burnley
writing under date of November S
to the Manufacturer Record say:
eve have received your booklet,
"A Plea for the Cotton Growers of
the South, dated September g.
1920, and our Mr.. w. Haythornth-
waite has read it through several
times with very great interest.
The statement which you make
and the information given is some.
thing entirely new so far as Ian
cashire cotton-cloth manufacturers
are concerned.
1--WE have felt, like yourselves, the
disability obtaining when buyers per-
sistently hold off, and we have found
that whenever the price of cotton
shows consistent rise from a low
level to high level the buyers of
cotton and all the various kinds of
textile goods from all over the world
become very anxiuos to secure their
seasons supplies.
eve can quite believe that the
price of cotton shows a loss to the
grower, and we are Of the opinion
that trade will not revive until the
raw cotton begins to lift its head
from the present very low levels.
1--WE are of the opinion that all
the markets of the world require cot
ton goods in very large quantities
and we also believe they will not pur-
chase until a rising market is in OPP

that to have large volume of trade,

The little boy didn't waste any
more time wondering, as most folks

THE BOOK OF DEBORAH.
Nobody at the Big House Had Miss
ed Us During Our Absence

The nursers who were caring for
JIM. Lorimer hurried to my husband S
bedside. Our family physician arriv-
ed and brought me the comfort to
be had only from those whom we
trust. Mother Lorimer was recov-
ering from one of her heart attacks
and could not be told the terrible
news about her older son, but Dad
dy Lorimer, Chrys and Ann came
to share the hard hours with me.
There was much discussion about
what had caused Bob's collapse.
We moved restlessly from room to
room of my bungalow while DR.. Mar
shall and the nurses worked over Bob.
And to my establishment | discover
ed that although | had been away
from home two nights and a day, no
one had missed me. Moreover, no
body had missed Bob! Those at the
big house has been very much wor-
ried about Mother Lorimer. They
had not wanted Bob and me to BE-
anxious. and so they had not called
up our house.
And Bob had not been seen at his
fathers. The information made me
most comfortable. From the order
of his room, and his bed, which had
not been disturbed when | discover
ed him, it was plain that my husband
had not slept at home either night
Iof my absence.
Where was he the afternoon / left
/ for New York? Where mad he spent
the night, the next day, and the next
night?
Who had placed my wire to him
from New York on the hall table?
And why had Bob not fcunG it there
why had he not opened it IS soon as
he entered the house?
1t was easy to answer one ques
ton: Judson, one of the Lorimel
employees, who had been with DADDY
for years, cared for the heating oil
the various houses on the estate
doubtless he had received my wire
to Bob and had placed it where my
husband could not fail to find it.
