Never Was a Woman Born Who Was Satisfied
With the Man She Married
By c. E. BYRNE, National Association Of Music Merchants.


7RHERE never was a woman born who was satisfied with the
man she married. She always makes him over, or, rather, she
mistakes his gradual disintegration for something constructive
in her own handiwork.
The universal husband Pathetic bedraggled scarecrow in trousers
No wonder men always answer their countrys call to arms. 1t is far
easier to face quick death on the battlefield than slow death beside the
domestic hearth.
At home they are helpless, numb. Things overtake them, faden on
them while they ire asleep. Whichever way they 60, it is not the way Of
their choice. They are pushed along from behind, never doing any Of the
things they desire, never wanting any Of the things they get Poor
universal husbandt
AS the bare Of trumpets and the swirl of smoke gradually die down
on the feminist battlefront an unbiased eye sees, still breathing, but
spiritually dead, a pathetic, bedraggled sort of scarecrow in trousers-the
universal husband! The universal husband, made out of all the prom
ising little boys in the world, is warped and cheated by women from the
moment he expands his lungs at birth until he contracts them (often
wilfuHy) a. the moment of death.
Women have very little honesty, no modesty and no sense OF shame.
They cannot afford such farybook luxuries. Real honesty, modesty and
a sense Of shame are not things with which to catch a husband Maiden
ladies invariably possess some of these abnormal qualities. That is why
they remain maiden ladies.
A woman cannot be fraiE She is not frail. She is a tigress. She IS
not helpless. She can move mountains, and does if she is not always
given her own way. If she were helpless the universal husband would
know how to provide for her, how to place her in his relation to a strug-
gle for existence. But he does not know where to place her, She turns
up at unexpected moments, in unexpected places, and acts IS a positive
menace to his psychology and to his business career.

The u. S. Navy Must Be Kept Ready for Defense
in a World Full of Menace
By SECRETARY DENLY, to Naval War College.

The United States navy must be kept ready for defense in a world
full Of menace. At no time in the nations history has there been greater
need for close study of naval science and earnest devotion to duty 1t is
a day when naval strength is vitality necessary and a full grasp by naval
officers of world possibilities highly important We think in terms Of
hope for continued peace; we strive through diplomacy, backed by power
to keep that desired peace, but we must not be blind to facts.
We know now beyond persdVenture that war between great powers or
groups of powers viii always involve many other nations and we cannot
say with certainty that such a war may not come at any time. There need
be no demand for excessive armament.
There will be none for q great increase of our present establishment
made by the Navy department at the coming session Of congress. We shall
ask for additional cruisers, allowed under the treaty for the limitation Of
armament. We shall ask for additional hghtdraft gunboats, the vital
need Of which is being demonstrated every day; and we shall ask for GER

Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Canal, the South and
the Cotton Boil Weevil
By JOSEPH o. THOMPSON. American Cotton Association.

In Chicago some day will be tremendous terminal warehouses for the
storage of our cotton where it will be assembled for export by way of the
Great Lakes-St. Lawrence ship canal. The boil weeyil is destroying in one
year enough wealth to build this canal three or four times, the estimated
cost of which is $2~40,0OO00O.
The South is tremendously interested in this project as there are
parts of the world which would be reached at a cheaper freight rate by
this route than by any other; and our interest is that it will afford another
means Of competition which is the life of the cotton as well as other trade.
There are 9OOO0O,0O people in the world, some only partially
clothed, who are depending upon the South to supply them. There is
another group Of ~70O,000,0O0, about 8 per cent of whom. are coming into
civilization annually by the wearing of clothes.
Senator Morgan said, in his speech, advocating the Isthmian canal,
that one inch added to the shirt-tal of every Chinaman would make it
profitable t. grow 100000 900 bales of cotton. The field for cotton produc-
ton a a profitable price is without limit. First of all we must get rid of
the boil weevil.

KEW DISTRIBUTION
 BY COOPERATIVE
Brings Cotton AssOciatiOn's Total for Season Near Eight Million
 Dollar Mark.

Little Rock, April 5.--With the mail ing out today to members of the Ar kansas Cotton Growers Cooperative Association of the fifth distribution of the season, the association has dis bursed a total of $7,915, ,126.34 to it's members, it was said by Secretary John D. Eldridge, yesterday.
 The fifth distribution totals about $560,000, MT. Eldrid8e said, and brings the average distribution per bale for the season to $119 per bale. This, he said, is more than most of the members would have received had they sold their cotton in the old way and there still remains another dis tribution. This will be made after all the associations cotton has been sold and officials are able to wind up the seasons business. This final distribu- tion will be accompanied by state ment showing the pool into which the members cotton went, the average p1ice received per pool, the gross pro ceeds Of the sales, and a detailed statement of the associations expen- ses.
 Tn connection With the tCtal of ST. 915, ,126.34," said Mr. Eldridge, .it is interesting to recall that when we made our first distribution of the sea- son last fall some people tried to make our members believe that it represent ed all the money they ever would re- ceiye for their cotton"
 It was announced that representa- tives of the cotton association have been invited to speak at meeting to be held at Mazarne, Montgomery coun- ty, under the auspices of the Farmers Union, Friday and Saturday of this week. G. H. Banks, director of the Field Service Division of the field ser vice for the association, with some of his assistants, and possibly MT. Ed ridge, will attend the nsseting.
