WORRY AS A HABIT
BY H. Addington Bruce

W AS 1T never occurred to you who write,
Ii complaining of your inability to find
L. relief from the malady of worry, that
possibly worry is in your case not much a
malady merely a bad habit? Certainly
this possibility is suggested by your own
statements.
You write that you worry about everything
your work. the weather, the safety of your
children when they out of your sight,
Anticipated evils of all sorts. Harl back in
memory and | fancy you will find that this
chronic Indulgence in fretful anxiety and
gloomy forebodng has been of gradual growth.
There was a time, you perhaps will recall
when you worried only occasionally and for
reasons giving good ground for worry. Little
by little you developed a tendency to worry
about imaginary well real ills. Until
today it actually is easier and more natural
for you to worry than not to worry.
This certainly is the way worry takes pos
session Of many people Essentially it is moth
ing more less than a habit process. Like
every habit it gains strength with repetition
until finally it obtains complete mastery.
Also like every other habit, though, the
worry habit may be broken. But it can be
broken only through the gradual substituting
of counterhabit of meeting life's vicissitudes
and trials confidently and serenely.
Instead of making the impossible resolution
L
to catch yourself worrying about some spe-
cific happening or expected happening.
When you do thus catch yourself, bring
back to recollection similar occasions when
you worried needlessly. Reason with yourself
that if it foolish to worry then, it Will
be no more sensible to worry now.
Force a SMILE however difficult it may seem
to you to do so. That smile will have re-
flex action helping you to feel more cheerful
For the same reason, assume an erect, conf
dent posture. Don't let yourself adopt the
dropping posture of anxiety Stand traight
front life courageously.
And-most important of all-busy yourself
with some activity that will keep your atten-
ton interestedly occupied. IT, for example,
you turn attentively to your work, you can't
very well be worrying at the same time for
there won't be room in your mind for worry
ing thoughts
1t will not always be easy to adhere to this
program. in fact, since you are by your own
admission confirmed wOrrier it is likely at
first to be exceedingly hard. But don't give
way to despair.
No matter how many failures you may have
perseyere with your systematic self-disciplne
for cheerfulness. Your successes, little by
little will begin to outnumber the failures
And each success will make surer the final
outcome of a replacing Of your pernicious
worry habit with benign habit of self-con-
trolled tranquility.

the .uTURE OF OUR REPUBLIC

u
a GOVERNMENT by the people, for all
II the people may be fine to read about,
but it is manifestly more than diff
cult to put into comparative use or practice.
Human beings are what they are, and | sup
pose they will always be human in their in
stincts and purposes During the Revou-
tionary war the colonial patriots were able
to keep in mind what monarchial tyranny
meant to human beings overseas, and their
vision was clarified by their own experience
with the Hessan soldiers of Great Britain.
General Washington had immense difficult
ty with American Tories. These people
preferred the rule of King George to a gov
eminent by the people, for all the people.
They enjoyed 1.-The pomp and state around
the palace gate" 1t is a fact that Great
Britain had strong and active and wealthy
following among the colonsts during the
Revolution.
[ call to mind the old story of Major An
DIRE, who was caught on his way to West
Point to convey to Benedict Arnold the bride
that he had agreed to take 10 deliver the
American troops to the soldiers of Great
Britain, per contract.
History tells us Major Andre was a nice
gentleman. He was loyal to his king. He
took his life in his hands when he begun
his journey to meet Arnold and thus defeat
General Washington's attempt to hold West
Point on the Hudson river. M jor Andre
travelled on the Connecticut side of the Hud-
there were pickets stationed along the route
to watch out for British spies Three of
them were together when Major Andre came
in sight
The story is so well known that I will
not go into details Those plain citizens of
the state of Connecticut halted the British
officer, investigated him, stripped off his
military boots and other equipment, and
found the discriminating documents. Major
Andre took his risk and failed. Those hon
est farmers could not be bribed with British
gold ajor Andre was executed as a spy.
Benedict Arnold escaped in a British ship
and lived out his blackened and distorted
life to a peaceful deathbed in England, but
he was eXcorated by every patriot in the
United States of America.
General Washington on the defensive
all the time He retreated as many times as
he went forward, and it is unquestioned
fact that the patriotism of the plain country
people in the colonies secured the indepen-
dence of this republic in the of the
American Revolution
Hundreds of them had experience with
the tyranny of George ", and they knew it
was now or never to break loose from the
yoke of England. Philadelphia was hot
bed of Tories. The English generals had a
fine time with the rich Tories. 1t goes with
out saying that the rural sections were as
loyal to General Washington and his army.
We have gone along for less than two
hundred years remem bering the struggle
that the continentals had to overcome and
stand upright a republic. This republic,
like the republics of Greece and Rome in an

Cooberat;ve Marketing Service

"HE antics of the cotton market dur
ing the past ten days give new en-
phass to the conserving principles of
cooperative marketing and demonstrate
again what has long been self-evident, that
individual selling of cotton leaves the grower
largely at the mercy of chance.
Cotton has jumped thirty dollars bale in
market value in few days. Yet, during this
time there has been neither increaise nor de-
crease in the amount of cotton available for
use. Nor has there been increase or decrease
in the amount needed to satisfy normal con-
sumption.
Hence it must be that so great rise In
80 short time has been owing to other fac
tors, such as the outlook for the next crop,
fluctuation in general business and ltkeh-
hood Of larger demand for cotton than
had been expected during the three months
of low price levels. To this must be added,
as always, the influence of speculation
the buying of cotton that is not wanted and
the selling of cotton that is not owned.
With most of the cotton produced in
America being sold by the producer in the
fall months at the best price he can obtain
at the moment of necessary delivery nor
NAL reaction from the influence of demand
on supply cannot be had. For thus in three
months there is thrown on the market the
greater part of the cotton produced, which
must supply the mills for twelve months.
There goes out of the hands of the pro-
ducers, then, nearly one hundred per cent
of the years cotton production at time
when there is spinning need for only twenty
five per cent of this production. Evidently
the flooding of the market far beyond the
Immediate consumption needs-a thing that
happens every fall and has so happened for
fifty years-will force the price of cotton
far below what it would be If there We're
November only the amount needed by the
mills of the world during that period.
This does not mean necessarily that the
price of cotton will rise as the season wakes
and waneS. There are exterior factors, some
of which are mentioned above, that modify
the market price. The effect of such influ'
ences would be felt whether cotton were
sold gradually during the year all il
three months.'
The cooperative cotton selling associa
tons, formed under a plan devised by Aaron
Sapiro and now functoning in every cotton
producing state, are based on the primary
principle that the dumE.:5 of I've
months supply of cotton on the market il
three months is an economic wrong and il
the main reason why the cotton producer
is not prosperous save in abnormal times
The co-operatives rest on the rock of grad
ual selling thus obtaining for their mem
bers, not the highest price that may prevail
during the year and certainly not the low
est, but an average price.
Corollary TO this, they promise their mem
bers TO obtain for them certain profits from
the actual handling warehousing, insuring
COMPRISING freighting and delivering t.
spinner which profits so to middemen o
one sort and another in the case of indi
vdual selling. Further, they point out tina

Charges of Misconduct

at the primary election thrown out
because of malconduct on the part oi

lots before the polls closed. These
charges the officials denied but ad.
mittted that they had joked with two
of the voters concerning the vote and
had pointed to a pile Of blank bal
lots remarking that those were votes
for Allard. One Of the election Off.
