The same old slogan that put us on our feet during the dark days of the war will be used again this year, Grow Your Own Food and Feed After all that just seems to fit i'll as no other ex- pressiOn does. It sounds more reas- enable that mere agreement to reduce the cotton acreage. When you grow your own food and feed the cotton acreage is automatically reduced The man who does the first will not find the need of so much credit. The man on the farm has a habit of thinking that his lot is the hardest of all, but he who lives close to the soil will weather storms under which those in other lines of business cannot survive.

REVIEW OF COTTON MARKET
All Months Sent to New Low Levels
 for the Season.

New Orleans, Nov. 2S-After mak- ing substantial advances during the early part of last week the cotton market felt heavy selling pressure during the last two sessions and all the months were sent to new low levels for the season. Weakness in the spot markets of the interior was one of the main reasons for the decline Small mill takings and reports from England that spinners were ballotins on the position of curtailing of 5t per cent in spindles working on tho American cotton also contributed tC the decline.
 At the highest of the week prices were S2 to 94 points over the closinf quotations of the preceding week; a the lowest it was 73 to 142 points un der. Closing quotations showed ne losses of 59 to 123 points. In the spo department middling lost 125 points and closed at 15,.00,. A notable devel Opment at the end of tne week was tn disposition of the distant months to g to the premium that is normal over tn near months Further easing in spot is bound to cause still further sellinl contracts, but the first signs of a req demand or evidence that interior hold ings have. been withdrawn from tn market would give the contract depart ment a much better tone and woul' probably result in widespread cover ing of the short interest.

We don't know who started the move but the good citizenship week idea is a good one. While we like to boast of the quality of our citizenship, there is always room to improve it's quality No man was ever so good that he couldn't be better The quality of our citizenship means everything. It is a thing that cannot be cultivated too much. A campaign such as this can not directly bring about the results, but it is designed to rouse an interest, to inspire the people with new zeal along these lines that will lead to the day after day striving to uplift and de- velope the minds and thoughts of all the people and especially the young toward higher ideals of living and thinking. This is particularly well at a time when every kind of moral, poli- tical and social poison is being spread in so many definitely and systematic balanced. right thinking sane people as we probably never felt before. We have. isms and pretty theories galore but after all old principles are best They never change, and to abandon them would shake our civilization from it's foundations

The First Symphony Concert

The public will indicate it's attitude toward
the project of reviving the Richmond Symphony
Orchestra Monday evening, when the musical Or

scum. If capacity house greets the players,
which should be the case, as the admission is
free, the leaders in the movement will feel en-
couraged to continue their effort to make the
organization one of the contributing elements in
the musical life of the community If an
apathetc attitude is shown it will prove only too
plain that the public takes little interest in the
orchestra.
One may safely indulge in the prophecy that
the Coliseum will be crowded with a capacity
audience. In years past the symphony orchestra
received the support of the whole community.
Why should this support be withdrawn now

NOIS ES.
BY George Matthew Adams

NStS6Ss
Much of the story of the world is
one Of noises. Many times noises get
on our nerves." and We wish that all
might be silence.
But who could long live in complete
silence?
| love the hum of the city. | like
the wind-rush thru the trees of the
forest and the gentle rattle of the
waters of the stream as they tumble
over each other in their desire to
reach their destination.
like even the jumbled noise Of the
human voice as it scrambles into one
unintelligible almost-roar in the
crowded dining room of some public
place. Often do I just listen to it
but it doesn't disturb me and I digest
my food wonderfully under it's stimuli
US.
There are the noises Of battle and
of peace. The song of the bird and OF
the human voice. The sweet tones
OF some violin, or great organ, or flute.
The thrill of some orators words as
they dash into human hearts and
touch the life blood itself.
Noises keep us company, cheer us
ir loneliness, and inspire us when we
feel faint.
Noises NulCH SOuISlIluS dl z
always welcome. We get acquainted
with them as tho we had met them
before. And we are glad to have them
travel with us.
But it is well not to introduce noises
into the world that 1t doesn't need.
The noisy talker who never says
anything-the trouble maker who goes
around trying to knock down, but
never offering to build up-theSe kind
of noise-makers are better off in some
other world.
But OH the noise from the sound OF
hammers that build! The whistle OF
the coming train. the chug Of the auto
mobile. the rattle of the wheels of the
cart doing service, the clang Of the
street car carrying folks home to
those they love and bringing them as
we'll to their places of work and serv
ice-these daily, friendly noises. how
could we jog along without them?
But let's not make too much noise
ourselves-just enough.

era of service to the community? If anything,
the fact that the orchestra has been dormant in
its activity for number Of years will increase
the desire of many to hear it under it's new lead
erS
Some citizens Of community perhaps do
not appreciate the extent of the service which
an organization of this kind gives. Concerts are
not the result of few evenings devoted to prac-
tice but come only after weeks of hard prepara-
ton. Members of the orchestra give hours and
hours of their time to practice, postpone social
affairs, forego amusement and recreation, in or
der that they may present finished product to
the audience. Besides this, they give many hours
of practice and spend much money to qualify on
the instruments they play
If you keep in mind few of these facts you
will attend the concert in appreciative mood and
will understand that the leaders of the move
ment, to make the orchestra an abiding institu-
ton, deserve the warnest support and the
heartiest gratitude of the community. They are
doing an unselfish service, without hope of de-
ward, merely to supply the city with excellent
music.
In their work they should have the co-opera-
ton of the citizens, which can be expressed by
attending the first concert, and later by entering
into the plans which will be developed for the
maintenance of the institution. Both the play
ers and the leaders deserve this consideration,
and we feel that it will be accorded to them.

way to England. Immediately on his
arrival there he cabled back to Canada
an offer of his services in any capac-

TENDER, 1914, saw him at Valcartier
as medical officer to a brigade. DR..
McCrae held the commission of major,
having won this rank in the South
African war.
He saw service in all the actions in
which the Canadians were engaged in
the spring of 1915. Later he was pro-
NOTED to a lieutenant colonelcy and
was transferred to the hospital at Bou-

For thirty-one months he served con
