New ideals have come to hus- bands on the question of what should be expected of a helpmate. No husband now asks of his wife anything that he would not do himself.
 But many husbands forget about washday, with its heavy labor. And because they just haven't thought about it, still permit their wives to struggle on with this trying task.
 It need not be so in the future. Our Family Laundry Service offers a happy way out. This is a modern service-the cost is no more than washday at home, and usually it is less.
 We wash everything in water delightfully."- soft and in fleecy suds of haked soap. Nowhere in our process is there any of the old-fashioned rubbing or

showed the average cost of prodrl
this year to be 24A cents for
grades.
''At the same time our correspond
ents were asked to suggest fair sell
ing price, average of all grades. and
this price was estimated at 3O1a cents.
The crop up to that time was rapidly
being ginned and dumped on the mar
ket at from IS to 20 cents per pound,
basis middling, and at several cents
below the average cost of production.
g For the first time in the history of
cotton production. the farmers were ac-
curately informed as to the average
cost of growing their cotton during the
period of harvesting and marketing.
When this information had been sent
out broadcast over the cotton belt by
the association and the farmers were
urged to stop selling and hold their cot
ton for cost plus a fair selling price, a
general holding movement started at
all interior points and the market
promptly began to advance.
What has happened in the last six
weeks is we'll known history. The price
Of spot cotton has advanced from 20
cents to above 26 cents on November
10th, and the situation is growing
stronger every day. The general senti-
ment in all cotton centers is that prices
will soon advance to 30 cents if the
holders of spot cotton do not rush the
same on the market
The cotton growers clearly have the
moral and legal right to fix the price of
their products at a figure that will net
them cost, plus a reasonable profit. 1t
is adverse to all fundamental trade
laws for the buyers Of any product to
fix the price to suit themselves.
Except during the defation period
of 1920 the cotton growers have won
out successfully in every holding move
ment for fair prices they have under
taken since 1905. The present holding
movement has been remarkably sue
cessful to date and the fair selling
price of 3O1a cents will undoubtedly be
reached If large blocks of cotton are not
placed into the markets and sold at
lower prices.
The American Cotton Association
| gathered the cost data and started the
| holding movement at the psychological
moment and by doing so has saved to
the rank and file of the growers many
| millions Of dollars on the balance Of
the unsold portion of the 1922 crop
The growers should ascertain the cost
of production each year before the CROP
is harvested and demand reasonably
fair profitable price for every pound Of

is the only course to pursue that will
mean full crops of cotton for the future
and contentment in the hearts of the

Where law ends tyranny boz
gins. - William Pitt: Speech,
January 8, 1870.

T AVIS companion is order There
IL is no tyranny like the tyranny Of
the mob. Americanism means law,
and law means Americanism. Without
1t there is first chaos and then tyranny.
for out of disorder comes that type
Of government which, while in way
restraining us, destroys liberty under
the law. Such condition is almost
the inevitable consequence Of depart
ure from the law into the realm of un-
rule.
Law and Liberty are inseparable.
Liberty lovers can be depended upon
TO see to it that there is not too much
law. The people in republic are the
writer's of the laws. They can he trust
ed to secure just that measure of reg
ulation consistent with order and in
consistent with the tyranny OF too
much restriction of the popular rights.
In America in those places where
there have been outbreaks, where the
people have taken. as it is called. the
law into their own hands, tyranny has
shown itself. Happily its rule has
been only temporary. The spirit Of
Il mob is despotic. The spirit Of the
law is democratic.
Americanism means obedience to
law. The Fathers Of the republic
knew this and laid stress upon 1t.
They built upon the foundation Of
law and they built an orderly struc-
ture. When the foundation is destroyed
the structure falls and 1t cannot be
reared again except upon foundation
stones of the kind first used. Law IL
government and there can be no
Abraham L..ncoln's government Of the
people, by the people and for the
people unless law enters into 1t as
constituent.
The flag OF the American republic
represents law just as truly as 1t rep
resents liberty, for there can be no lib
erty without the law. Proper laws
safeguard freedom and never menace
| it. When the enactment of laws goes
beyond reason there is the repeal. The
/ people are the judges of the limits Of
legal restraint Americans know how
much law is needed to give them full
liberty and yet save them from L.
cense.
The American flag stands for the ma
| tion-it ranks everything in America.
All salute it, from private to president.
The flag of a country, however, can
represent nothing except what the
country is. When we teach respect for
our country's colors, we must bear in
mind that respect can be instilled ouly
! if the institutions for which the flag
stands are maintained in the integrity
which the Fathers gave to them.

hair and wears tortoise shell cheaters.
