cotton is to the South.
Man who planted cotton, expect

forty cents for their crop. find
themselves practically ruined by
twenfy-cent cotton. Night riders
intimtdate cotton owners. forbid
ding them to sell, and prevent

Governor Cox on Sunday, at Lin
coins tomb, made polite bow.
Did he remember what Lincoln
said TO the rich men who called on
him. demanding special bAttleship
protection for their New York
properties?
Lincoln told them that II he
were as rich as they said they
were, and had as much at stake,
he would build his own battleship.
What does Mr.. Cox think Lin
coin would say about the League
OF Nations nonsense? Would he
not tell the European nations,
since they had so much at stake,
to do their own fighting, supply
their own men and money, or stop

Vile, oldest son of Lord Kinlos,

A tanners daughter supplied
William the Conqueror to history.
She was not married when he was

produce makes us realize what the
United States loses each year by
the deaths of about 1000 father
less children" murdered, by neg
lect, to get rid of them.
' An inexperienced clerk in a
grain gambling firm made mis-
take. Ordered to sell one hun
dred thousand bushels of wheat,
which, by way, he and his en-
ployer did not have, he sold mil
fion bushels, and knocked the
price down to point that disturb
ed farmers and probably injured
tho country by checking the plant

dred thousand bushels were
bought back, and the price went
up again.
h, Do you call a nation intelligent
that permits such juggling with
life's necessities?
In France, all concerned would

A Frenchman discovers serum
that stimulates the blood to fight
against gangrene In the veriform
appendix. Serious doctors believe
that the serum will take the place
OF the knife in appendicitis.
Fashions Ia surgery change al
most as frequently as fashions In
women's hats.
There is one serum made up OF
exercises in moderation, fresh air
with ozone in it; sound. regular
sleep. and temperate life. That
serum will cure almost anything,
but you cannot buy It. You must
