THINKING PEOPLE

l 1IS CbAIAAA1iS PSOPAS VI CAAN South are centering tneIr atten- tion on the need of better me- thods of handling and selling the cotton crop.
 In the rush of introducing livestock, legumes and grain, in order to balance our system of farming. there has been so much to learn with regard to growing these new things, and fully as much to learn in mar keting them that the study of cotton was postponed. With the profitable disposition of hogs, cattle and sheep, as well as corn, peanuts, sorghum sy- rup and other crops largely worked out through cooperation cotton marketing is now coming in for it's due improvement.
 At present, cotton is our most valuable and most neglected crop. The value of the lint of last years cotton crop, estimat- ed on December 1, was $1,967,- 000,000. If we could have add ed only 1 per cent to it's worth by better methods it would have meant over $10.OoO,00O more money to the farmers. The value can be greatly increased by proper storing of the cotton to protect it from weather, by selling it throughout the year, instead of dumping it all on the markets in four months, by sell ing according to known grade and staple, and by handling the separate grades in sufficiently large lots to interes, the spin ners. A government specialist reports the saving last year of $2,OO0, 1000 in only twenty coun- ties of Texas where cotton grad CTS and salesmen were employ ed.
 The field has already been pioneered, and sound methods worked out. Bonded warehous- es offer safe place for storing cotton where it is well protect ed from weather and fire. The warehouse receipts, certified by state and Federal governments, show the grade of the cotton and are collateral with any bank. Heretofore cotton in the small towns of the South has sold on Wits grade based on the color sand amount of trash and dirt, with little regard to the length of the staple, and the grade it. self was what the local buyer chose to call it.
 Now in counties organized for this work, for a small fee of 25 to 50 cents a bale, an expert cotton grader who ..cooperates with the Federal government, a do the county agents, can be em- ployed to properly classify each farmers cotton, both as to the grade and length of the staple. The grader may also aid the farmers in making sales, though in many cases regular sales managers are employed by the farmers organization.
 Bonded warehouses, official grading and a cooperative sell ing system should go together, and are going together into many counties. Practically every state in the South will get started in better cotton market ing methods this year. Start a movement to get your commun- ity lined up to receive higher prices for cotton through this improved plan.-The Progress

LAY KAISER'S FALL TO GEM
Many Hold That Belief. In View OF 'ii
Omen That is Attached to
"BIaze Of Glory"

An ill-starred diamond, which last
shone as central gem in the crown or
Prussia, Is now credited with having
been factor In bringing about the
ruin Of the HohenZollern dynasty. Ii
Is known as the Blaze of Glory.
According TO the tale brought here
about IT, the diamond was given by
King Solomon to the queen OF oheba.
having been plucked from his turban
for her adornment, writes the LONDON
correspondent Of the New York World.
Curious carvings on two sides OF 1t are
supposed to be heraldic tokens OF the
two ancient lovers. Copies of the
gem were carried Into Persia, where
they excited the greed of the nomad
king, El-Hakim II, who robbed the
queen of Sheba's grnve TO secure II
for himself Within two weeks there
after he was slain in his palace, anu
thereafter, through the centuries, rul-
,ers and princes who acquired the gem
came to grief.
The margrave OF Brandenburg,
whose house started the Prussian dy-
nasty, found the gem on Jewish mer-
chant In one OF the margrave's raids
into Silesia, and seized IL, declaring
he would place II In the crown OF
great kingdom he was about to estab-
lish. The merchant was instantly slain
when he ventured 10 remind the captor
of the evil influence OF the diamond.
II seems to have been handed down
the Prussian line until finally IL
reached the one-time emperor. now In
retreat in Holland.
II Is said that Herr Zunkeihorn.
learned antiquary, who had learned
the fateful history OF the gem and VINO
In some way had forecast that ruin
would come 10 Its owner between the
years 1918 and 1922, implored the
young emperor to rid himself OF II
before his coronation. and that TO this
entreaty william replied:
You must understand that am
crowned by the spirit of God and the
viii OF my people The Hohenzol-
Ierns must endure forever. No curse
Of evil can harm our dynasty"
So he kept the gem In his crown ana
tradition seems Ia have justified Itself.
