DULL AND BRILLIANT YOUTHS
Bright Boy Does Not Always Fill Elk
pectations Of Friends, While
Stupid Lad Surprises.

An ex-headmaster of % years ex-
perience has confessed that he was
anything but model boy at school.
He is not exceptional. Some boys
who have no lack of brains have not
the examination mind" and in some
the intelligence is too vivacious and
original to be interested in routine
work. There are boys who are really
dull and will never be anything else,
but there are also boys who are mere
ly unconventional and boys who are
apparently dull only because they are
slow.
Human beings are like plants. 1t is
not always the tree which grows and
fruits the quickest that gives the best
crop in the end, says the London Daily
Mail. The brilliant boy does not al
ways fulfill the expectations of his
friends, while the boy who was sup
posed to be dull occasionally surprises
everybody in after life because his
mind was OF the sort which takes a
long time to mature.
No hard-and-fast rule can be laid
down. But, as DR.. Chalmers Mitchell
has pointed out, 1t is general rule
In nature that the longer the period
of youth the greater is the intelligence
of the adult.

Missed Something.

Thomas, the five-year-old son Of a

communion service with his parents
last Sunday The service was long,
and the editor and his family were in
the last group that went to the altar.
Thomas went along. He had been
curious.
Following the service there was no
comment from Thomas until he found
his Aunt Edith, member of another
church waiting in the EDITORS auto
outside, to go to dinner with them.
"Oh, Auntie Edith" he chortled,

"Why, what was it?" was her indul-
gent question.

At planting time what about cot ton? Has the condition changed? Is there any hope of a revival of prices? Shall we stay by our pledge or shall we go back to speculation on what will be the price this fall? These are questions which are troubling the farmers. merchants and bankers in April, 1921.
 There is little to add to what has been written or said already and every added fact or condition makes surer that the only relief IS to cut down on production this year. No other relief is in sight. The world either will not or can not buy cotton, though the need IS great, therefore we must fit our plans to world conditions and cut our production until the demand becomes stronger. When will that be? No one knows, but it may be stated as sure thing that demand cannot and will not increase until the people ofsthe world recover from the alarming shrinkage of values and can begin to operate on a profitable basis again.
 fn Arkansas, for example, there cannot be sale for more cottor goods until after farmers and the buying public can recover from oul present conditions and make prof 1t on their business. That depend:

Cotton Situation Demands
 Big Cut, Says Dr. Knapp

on the price of cotton this fall, or rather the relative price of cotton as compared with other commodi- ties. At the present time raw cot ton is lower than other products. Remember that it must remain low if we produce normal crop, or rather unless we make a drastic cut in production.
 Three things should be watched in trying to judge the condition, present and future:
 1. The price of spot cotton.
 2. European political conditions.
 8. World economic conditions.
 Price Conditions.
 As to the price of cotton, con- ditions could scarcely be any worse. The United States Department of Agriculture has just reported that it finds that it cost not less than 33 cents a pound to produce this crop. thought it cost over 35 cents, but 1 accept their figures as accurate, because they are based on careful investigation. Today cotton is quoted at practically one third of that price, or between II and 12 cents pound, while actual sales of middling cotton in the country are being made at one-fourtt of the cost, or around eight cents a pound. The market has failed ut. terly to show any life. Thus fal the usual spring bulge" in price

NATIONAL NEGRO HEALTH
 WEEK OBSERVED.

Under the direction of the colored school, the National Negro Health Week was kept from April 3 to April g, inclusive. The splendid programs were decided expressions of the deep interest and full under standing of the great purposes of the untiring efforts and nationwide movements towards a healthier cit izenry. Local speakers, physicians, and ministers, are receiving the highest praise for their intelligent talks, helpful suggestions and whole some advice. They showed that the negro must prepare to increase his numbers by decreasing his pres ent mortality. He is dying too fast. His death rate is almost two to one of the white people, trace able to poor sanitation, crowded schools, congested homes, the lack of sewer systems and many other preventable conditions. The fact that the mortality of the white race is decreasing, will not remain, un- less the sanitary condition of the colored people is improved, for health of a community can be no better than that of it's weakest citi- zens.
 At the close of the weeks pro- gram, civic improvement league was organized with the purpose of creating deeper city-wide interest in all matters towards the beauti- flying of Marianna.

about that just for little while.
 Acreage Cuts Agreed.


 A campaign for more food and feed crops and a big cut in cot ton has been carried on in every state in the South. The Oarolinas, Georgia. Alabama. Mississippi, Lou isiara, Texas, Oklahoma and Ar kansas have all rad the work go- ing. Farmers as individuals and in their organizations have pledged a cu. :n acreage, bankers and business men have helped carry the work along. Counties like Phillips, where S0 per cent of the acreage in norm al times is in cotton, have organized thoroughly and signed up for fif- ty per cent cut, with prospects that they will reach it. Practically ev- cry man has agreed to cut his acre. age. Most of the strong Farmers Union counties in West Arkansas have signed up for cut of from one-third to one-half. No farmers meeting his been held but what the farmers have registered their de- termination to cut the acreage. The Farm Bureau and other organ izations have carried the campaign in counties where they are at work. And the same thing has been going on in every cotton state.
 If conviction, education, co-opera- tion and determination mean any thing, the object is accomplished. that a small acreage, heavy cut and hence a small crop for cotton. Sound business de- ,nap5S if TO do otherwise means financial disaster.

has not appeared. Meantime in March comes the annual census re- port of cotton ginned showing over instead of under 13,000,00O bales, and thus the surplus accumulates to drag down the price. Why? Be- cause of the shrinkage of values, the staggering losses and lack of power to buy, hence the surplus goes begging.
 Early in March the Wall Street Journal had this to say about the cotton situation: Bears on cotton did not modify their views during the week. They remained intrench- Ted behind the arguments of record surplus, little likelihood of acreage reduction and little probability of market increase in foreign de- mand before the new crop" l call this to your special attention, farm CTS. What does it mean? It means that big business does not believe you when you say you will reduce the acreage. If you don't show the world that you mean business with big cut in acreage, the world will laugh, because they know that demand cannot recover so as to warrant a price for cotton worth while. Don't be fooled by those whom you may think are your friends. Whoever winks or con- sents to a large acreage in cotton is not your friend.
 What is the record surplus they talk about? It is the certainty of practically twice as much cotton to carry over in August as we had last year. A heavy crop, a heavy surplus and low demand means nothing but low prices. Your only recourse is the acreage that you can control as business men control their product.
 Factors of Importance. Foreign demand is a factor of importance. European political con- ditions and world economic condi, 1 tions go together to measure 'for- l eign demand" Look at what is happening in Europe. Are peace and dignity being established? Are people settling down to sober tasks of business and industry? Strikes in Germany; revolt in Germany; a huge coal strike in England paralyz ing industry; war on in Turkey anC Greece; attempt of Emperor Charles to siege the throne in Hungary black clouds still hiding Russia anC much of the East; famine in China appeals to America for charity fol Europe and Asia. Do these thing! mean a recovery of buying powel through peace and industry-the on | ly buying power can grow? By nc meansi
 | Don't understand me to throw any cold water on the earnest eff forts of the bankers and business men and some farmers in trying t, help foreign demand with credi and. financial help. That is praise worthy in the extreme, but don depend on it and fail to cut tn, cotton acreage.
