O65, 900 bales. Watch now and see if
1T is not much neared TO 100000
bales. But don't worry about it! The
world will easily gobble up this
amount in short order and cry for
more at most any price.
The American consumption for the
last IL months is close to 100000
bales. Think what this means in the
face of serious mill, coal and railroad
strikes, to say nothing about the
messy affairs abroad. Why, do YOU
realize that if everything was run
ming smoothly Throughout; the world
the chances are you would have to
buy cotton in little dabs at some
Jewelry store instead of by the bale
No, it would not surprise us one bit
to see prices sag between now and
next Tuesday or Wednesday, but in
the long run they will be so high the
present level will look low indeed,
This one time the South is going to
make little spare change, the direful
predictions of the croakers notwith-
standing. A 100000 bale crop at
from 22c to 30c per pound is a whole
lot better than one of between ID
100000 and 100000 bales under 1Oc.
Figure it out yourself and see what it
means to the entire South.

Where Are Your Eyes

Doctor Calm said our ewes were
placed at the top so that we could see
things at distance. 1t sounds sim.
pie enough, but not many of us have
thought of it just that way.
Signals in light houses are elevated
so that they may be seen from afar
Many other instances might be cited
TO show thre value of high lights.
The driver of an automobile. as he
sits at the steering wheel, has a clear
view ahead and ought to be able to
protect his passengers from danger
at the railroad grade crossing. The
risk of being killed by train of cars
Is something We all learned in chill
hood days.
There should be no haphazard driv
ing across tracks. Any driver who
assumes that because trains run onlv
at occasional intervals he is relieved
OF the necessity of being vigilant ev-
cry time he crosses the tracks ce,
family takes big chance of beng
numbered with the slain.
Careful use of eyes and ears is the
first consideration: next comes some
thing else quite as important, the ex-
-erclse of good Judgment in meeting
the situation that confronts us.
Much has been said about the safety
habit-what good thing it is. Every
pody gives assent to it in theory. hut
that many fail to practice it, is demon
strated daily at railroad crossings.
where lives lost and bodies manned
are the heavy toll paid for thought
lessness.
Thank your stars for those good
eyes, placed high up at a point of
vantage in your anatomy! Yes, and
see to it that you make 100 per cent
use of those same eyes at a place of
known danger, like the railroad grade
crossing.
Who drives across
In careful way,
Will live to drive
Another day.

We started talking about the boil
